Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

"just kill me!"

After saying this, Meliuchina closed her eyes, awaiting the moment she would be pierced through the heart by a sword.

however--

That didn't happen.

She only heard two clanging sounds.

When she opened her eyes again, Meliuchina saw something unexpected.

In the blur, Ian somehow managed to pick up both of her swords that had fallen to the ground and place them beside her.

"stand up."

"Let's fight one more time!"

"..."

Mei Liuqina was stunned.

She had initially thought the other person intended to subject her to ultimate humiliation, but now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

It seems he really did what he did just now because he was too excited.

There should be limits to joking.

"If you want to humiliate me, just say so, it won't hurt!"

"Humiliate you?"

Ian looked puzzled.

"Is not it?"

Meiliuqina picked up her swords, one in each hand.

"You just want to beat me, and then try again!"

"..."

"I didn't have that thought."

"Yes!"

"Then let's assume it exists."

"Melyuzina!"

Ian grasps Excalibur Morgan.

"Play one more match with me!"

"I haven't felt this excited in a long time."

"..."

Meiliuqina fell silent.

At the moment of being insulted, she did indeed imagine a series of reasons why the other person would be excited because of her.

But I never expected it to turn out like this.

"No, you..."

"Don't you want to fight me again?"

Ian looked regretful.

"It's not easy to meet an opponent like you."

"..."

It was indeed he who excitedly insulted himself.

But now, he is the one who takes himself very seriously.

Meiliuqina remained silent for a long while, then sighed and spoke;

"What's your name?"

"Ian."

"Ian, right—"

Touching her sticky hair, Meiliuqina complained.

"Even if we really have to fight again, at least let me be clean, right?"

"In this situation, I can't fight seriously."

As soon as she finished speaking, Meliuqina felt the surrounding magic begin to surge in the same direction.

To be precise, the entire forest rain began to fall on him.

Rainwater washed down Meiliuqina's smooth, long hair, quickly making her clean.

"You bastard, you can even do something like this?"

Melyuchina stared at her enemy in disbelief.

Ian, however, was used to such looks.

"Any other requests?"

"Should we stop this rain?"

"Meliuqina asked tentatively."

I can control a portion of the rain temporarily.

Even more advanced methods to freeze them.

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for him to...

Eh?

rainbow?

Just as Melyuchina lamented.

The torrential rain seemed to be suppressed and gradually subsided.

The bright sunlight shone through the clouds and shone in front of the two of them.

Above the sky, seven-colored light shone into Mei Liuqina's eyes.

That was the feeling that made her heart pound.

"It's a rainbow."

"Ian, how did you do that?"

"Do you like it?" Ian countered.

"Like it!"

"Don't you like rainbows?!"

Mei Liuqina completely lost her previous airs.

She waved her hands up and down like a child who had seen a toy.

"How beautiful this is!"

"Then, I'll show you when I have time in the future—as long as you're willing to practice with me again."

"That……"

Mei Liuqina turned her face to the side.

"You are not allowed to humiliate me like you did before."

"That thing that hit my face... that was too much."

"Even if we lose, it won't do!"

"no problem--"

Ian grabbed Melyuchina's hand.

"Let's go back to Camelot first!"

"I'll let Artoria see you!"

"Eh?!"

Before Melyuchina could even refuse Ian's words, he picked her up and carried her on his back.

"You're such a strange person!"

"Hey, put me down!"

Melyuchina's complaints echoed through the forest.

51. Melyuchina vs. Artoria

Camelot, inside the castle.

"Sir Ian, you mean—"

"Can she fight you to a standstill?"

Artoria frowned slightly as she looked at Melyuchina in front of her.

"It seems a little hard to believe."

Are you doubting me?

Mei Liuqina became somewhat unconvinced.

Holding two swords, she was back to the way she was when she first met Ian.

"This time, I will definitely not lose again!"

Melyuchina's eagerness did not elicit a response from Artoria.

She looked at Ian instead.

"Sir Ian, what's your opinion?"

"Is it necessary to have another match?"

"After all, you are the chief of the Knights of the Round Table. I would feel more at ease if we used you as the standard for selection."

"Hey, wait!"

The mere mention of Ian brought back memories of their meeting in the forest.

That's a significant difference in strength.

and--

Meliuchina looked at Ian, her throat bobbing slightly.

This guy, when he gets really excited, will subject himself to the ultimate form of humiliation.

When it was just the two of us, it was barely a problem.

just now……

How can this be allowed now!

"I don't want to fight him!"

"There must be other people among them—"

"Meliuqina shouted."

"Let that person be my opponent!"

"Are you really planning to do this?"

"Correct!"

"Anything but him is fine!"
