Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

Mei Liuqina's eyes widened slightly.

If she had hesitated a moment ago, now all that remained in her mind was the shock Ian had brought her.

He grabbed her hands, which were originally resting on the wall, and held them behind her back.

Along with that, there were also sounds moving closer to him.

"Meliuchina, I will give you more rewards."

"No, you idiot!"

It's too late.

As dawn broke, Meliuchina's face was pressed against the city wall.

Her throat was constantly moving, causing her body to shake violently.

"Stop, stop."

"If you don't stop—"

"It's about to be shouted out."

As Mei Liuqina said this, her slender waist involuntarily followed his rhythm.

already……

She has completely become like him.

The petite swordsman thought this to herself, but in the end, she still shouted it out.

Fortunately-

Camelot, in her Dawn identity, wasn't as lively as expected. Although Melyuchina's voice was unrestrained, it didn't attract much attention.

for a while.

Meiliuqina lay face down on the ground.

Feeling weak all over, she really wanted to make a rather impolite gesture to Ian behind her.

But soon, before she could do that, Ian had already picked her up.

"Is it enough?"

"Do you want to continue?"

"..."

Feeling something warm on her back, Mei Liuqina quickly shook her head.

"Stop!"

"That's enough! Absolutely enough!"

"Ian, don't come again!"

"So, did you say yes?"

"I promise you, I'll agree to anything you want!"

"No, wait a minute."

Meliuchina, who was trying to get Ian to stop, hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously.

"If I heard correctly..."

"What you want me to help you with is probably getting Artoria and Morgan to get along well, right?"

"Correct."

Ian nodded.

"This is exactly what I want."

"How could that be!" Mei Liuqina waved her hands. "You know how bad their relationship is. Even if you say so, I can't think of any way to help you!"

"Besides -"

Mei Liuqina got up.

She squeezed her legs together, trying to make herself look as presentable as possible.

"Why did you come to ask me... I don't really have any way to help you!"

"Do not."

Ian shook his head.

"You must have a way."

"Meliuchina, haven't you found a way to get along well with Artoria?"

"How can I..."

Meiliuqina stopped mid-sentence.

Because she discovered that what Ian was referring to was actually that meeting at the bathhouse.

"you……"

"Could it be that they think that method would also suit Morgan?"

"No way!"

"That woman is terrifying! She's not as easy to talk to as I am!"

"Then help me think of a solution."

Ian hugged Melyuchina, who was trying to escape.

Although he is nominally Artoria's husband.

However, for a species like dragons, the concept of "morality" seems to be very rare.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have hugged me like this.

But then again...

Looking at the hands that were holding her on either side, Mei Liuqina felt an indescribable happiness.

Very happy.

It's nice to be needed like this.

very happy.

It's so blissful to simply hold someone like this.

"Aren't you making things difficult for me...?"

Mei Liuqina muttered to herself.

"How would I know such a good way to help you?"

"But why do you have such a thought?"

Melyuchina touched Ian's hand and turned to look at him.

There must be some reason why you would do this, right?

"Could you...tell me?"

"..."

"I can sense that they are all in pain."

Ian hesitated for only a moment before speaking directly.

"pain?"

Melyuchina heard a word that was somewhat unfamiliar to both herself and Ian.

"Ian, what do you mean..."

“I don’t know how to describe it, Melyuchina.”

Ian held her in his arms as if she were a small doll.

"However, whenever I hear Artoria mention Morgan, I can sense the sadness in her voice."

"That is……"

"A taste that makes me very sad."

"..."

Melyuchina was already used to Ian's vivid descriptions of food.

She also understood what this meant:

"So you still said those things and made those demands for Artoria's sake?"

"Just for her alone?"

"I have no idea……"

Ian shook his head.

"But I have similar thoughts when I see Morgan."

"and--"

"Compared to Artoria, the smell emanating from her is even more unpleasant to me."

"This……"

As Ian spoke, Melyuchina's expression grew increasingly complicated.

She should have been among the candidates, but now she could only hear Morgan and Artoria as options.

but--

Those are all things he likes, right?

"I understand."

"In that case..."

“I think there might be a way,” Melyuchina said, then looked up.

"Method?"

"Correct."

Melyuchina nodded.

Then, she recounted the matter that even she herself felt uneasy about, but which she still had to tell for his sake.

"Let's... go find that girl named Bavanshi."

"I can tell she definitely has a way to help us!"

119. In that case, why not just get married again?

"Oh--?"

Looking at Ian and Melyuchina who had come before her, Bavanshi showed an expression of great interest.

"Are you saying you want my mother to reconcile with the king?"

"Is that right?"

"..."

Although she felt that Bavanshi's words carried an undercurrent of unease that was even more unsettling than Morgan's, she still nodded in the end, remembering what Ian had just told her.

"Yes, it is like that."

"You'll agree, won't you?"

Logically speaking—

Bawanshi shook her finger.

"Of course it's impossible."
