The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Artorius, since you asked, my answer is that it is indeed not very good."

"Is that really the case?"

【You find that Artorius is not upset by your words.】

[On the contrary, she seemed to have something to say. ]

You noticed this.

"Artorius, if you have any other ideas, please tell me."

"Then..." Knowing that Ian didn't like procrastination, Artorius quickly spoke again.

"Mr. Ian."

"I have an idea."

"How about this time... just pretend it never happened?"

"Didn't happen?"

"Correct!"

Artorius turned around.

"Mr. Ian thinks this is not good, and I think this is not good either."

"Then let's just pretend that this incident never happened."

"Later... when there is a better opportunity, we will start over again! Maybe then I will admit the identity Mr. Ian mentioned!"

"Mr. Ian, you can change your mind this time!"

You did not answer Artorius.

[But you clearly know that what she said is very beneficial to you - at least you don't have to worry about Artorius telling this to Kai.]

【You acquiesced.】

【But you don’t know. 】

[Your acquiescence planted a small seed in Artorius' heart.]

[The man who had no desires had selfish thoughts, and the body that stood forever was tainted with desires. ]

[One day in the future, it will eventually turn into a fruit covered with thorns. ]

Update (2/3) 9

49. Final Farewell Before Departure

[You and Artorius returned to the village.]

[Kai was walking back and forth at the entrance of the village with a worried look on his face.]

[You know he's so anxious because he lost you.]

[But you decided not to say anything - pretending to be confused is sometimes a great wisdom. ]

[Artorius didn't know that Kai had followed him.]

[She was in a good mood and greeted him enthusiastically. ]

"Brother!"

Artorius, who was sitting in front of Ian, waved happily.

"We're back!"

Seeing Artorius and Ian sitting on the same horse, Kai even had the urge to draw his sword.

"Artorius! What are you doing! Come down now!"

"How can you just sit on the same horse with other people?"

This time, before Artorius could speak, Ian spoke first:

"Kay."

"I am only taking Artorius to familiarize himself with the horse."

"Are you familiar with this horse?"

Kai immediately stared at the horses the two men were riding - he had not forgotten Ian's promise.

Ian knew this too.

He nodded: "Well, I plan to give this horse to Artorius."

Surprised, but not completely surprised.

Kai thought it was Ian's sweet talk, but he didn't expect him to do what he said.

"Are you serious?" he asked doubtfully. "Are you really going to give this horse to Artorius?"

"Brother!"

Artorius couldn't stand it anymore.

"What's that expression on your face? Mr. Ian really wants to give this horse to me. He even let me choose the name of the horse!"

"Even if we have chosen a name, it doesn't mean anything!" Kai still looked worried, "What if there is a price to pay?"

"These city folks are very scheming."

Seeing this, Ian did not refute.

He dismounted silently and came in front of Kai.

"Then I won't touch this horse from now on."

"I'll be out of here tomorrow morning, too—so you won't have to worry about the cost, right?"

Ian didn't say these words just to deal with Kai.

He really knew he had to go.

Artorius couldn't be killed right now - the magic in her was simply too powerful.

Then the correct thing to do is to go back and report to Morgan.

Besides, the front line has been completely defeated, and there will definitely be chaos waiting for him and Morgan, so they must discuss the next countermeasures in advance.

"..."

Kai was speechless for a moment.

Ian patted him on the shoulder with a slight smile on his face, and when passing by him, he seemed to say something murderous and heart-wrenching.

"Your sister is awesome."

"Eh?"

Just as Kai realized what Ian meant by that, Artorius, who had just dismounted, stood on tiptoe and hit him on the head.

"Brother! You are such a fool! Why do you doubt Mr. Ian like that?"

"He is a good man!"

"I..." Kai was speechless.

Hearing all this, Ian couldn't help but smile smugly.

[The sun leaves Britain temporarily. 】

【You decide to rest in the same place as the knights. 】

[They never expected that someone of your status would be willing to do this, and they were surprised and grateful.]

You started chatting with them.

【You learned more about the situation on the front line from them.】

[They described vividly how powerful Vortigern's army was, and at the same time they expressed great regret that you and Morgan were not at the front line.]

[But only you know that even if you and Morgan are on the front line, you can't change this outcome. ]

[This is a losing war, and you and Morgan are just frauds whose scam has been exposed.]

【But you are not completely unsuccessful. 】

[At least you have further affirmed Vortigern's strength. ]

【Its daybreak. 】

【You were the first to wake up. 】

It’s not that Ian doesn’t want to sleep longer, but there are too many things to think about.

I haven’t had insomnia for a long time.

Ian stood up and walked outside silently.

But he never expected that as soon as he came out, he saw Artorius walking by with a bucket - he had changed into a thicker set of clothes and looked more masculine.

"Mr. Ian!"

Artorius, who was carrying the bucket, looked surprised.

"Why are you awake? Did I wake you up?"

"Nothing." Ian smiled calmly, "I just woke up early."

"Is it because the resting place is too bad that you woke up so early?"

"No, Artorius, you don't have to be suspicious." Ian stopped Artorius from thinking wildly.

"I just woke up early."

"Why did you get up so early?"

"Go, get to work!"

Artorius raised the bucket in his hand.

"I usually get up at this time to work."

"..."

Ian glanced at the several iron buckets still beside the well.

"Then let me help you."

[You are not born into a royal family of knights, so you are quite familiar with these farm tasks.]

[You successfully helped Artorius complete what she was going to do ahead of schedule.]

[You two rest under a tree.]

"Here, Mr. Ian."

Artorius handed Ian a glass of water.

"Thank you." Ian took the water.

"I didn't expect you to be capable of this, Mr. Ian..." Artorius couldn't help but sigh, "I thought someone like you wouldn't be capable of this kind of thing."

"But you did better than me!"

"Artorius, I feel underestimated by you."

"No!" Artorius shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Ian, I didn't mean that."

"I know, it was just a joke."

"Yes, really?"

Artorius blushed slightly, stole a glance at Ian beside him, and whispered.

"Well, Mr. Ian, I changed the belt. Does it look good?"

"..."

Ian glanced at Artorius's hair and nodded.
