My fiancée Yukino

Kita Ikuyo nodded and said, "That's right. When we were discussing it last night, Goto-san said she wanted us to stay at her house for dinner. Since she seemed so insistent, we didn't refuse."

"That's quite interesting. I met Little Lonely's family when I took her home before. They're all very nice. You guys should have a lot of fun. I'll pick you up when it's time to leave tonight."

Hoshino Ai asked curiously, "Luo Bai-ge, aren't you going to Chaldea today?"

"It just means taking people to help out; I don't need to do anything. I just go, take a look, and come back."

Volume 1: Chapter 672 Mordred, One More Heroic Spirit (2/2)

After sending Hoshino Ai and Kita Ikuyo to Kotori's house, Luo Bai drove to the base, picked up Artoria who had already arrived, as well as Madoka Mokuzu and a team of technicians, and headed to Chaldea.

Back at Chaldea, after a night's rest, everyone relaxed and chatted and laughed as they carried out the research institute's renovations.

They also already knew the future direction of Chaldea: not to stay here, but to move together to another world, where they would no longer have to fight for humanity.

Although it is still about protecting the world, the tasks are now more about monitoring and analysis, which is much safer.

None of the Chaldea members had family outside, and knowing what the future would hold if they stayed, they didn't resist; instead, they longed to go to another world.

Upon arriving at Chaldea, the people that Lobe brought with them helped with the inspection and dismantling of the equipment, and then took over some of the useful equipment.

Then, Luo Bai chatted with Roman, Da Vinci, and Mato Mokujin, discussing where it would be best to locate Chaldea's base.

Makoto produced a map showing the locations of the Guardians' branches in various countries and regions around the world. He then pointed to the South and North Poles and said, "We already have bases in the South and North Poles, with many research teams stationed there. Chaldea isn't a good fit for those locations. You've been working in such harsh environments all along, and it's not good to keep you in the same place. So, how about this artificial island? It's located south of the Bering Sea, quite close to both Asia and North America. With our teleportation technology, it's convenient to go anywhere. This artificial island has been completed for several years. It has complete facilities and a good natural environment, especially with a pleasant temperature. However, it's been idle because we haven't had a suitable team stationed there."

Roman was intrigued and asked with a smile, "Do you have any photos?"

"of course."

Then, Masato Kakuzu took out his laptop, found a picture of the artificial island, and showed it to him and Leonardo da Vinci.

After reading it, it was basically decided to build New Chaldea on this artificial island.

Because of Chaldea's unique nature, it is indeed not very suitable to be located in any country. With its well-developed observation and Spirit Origin research facilities, it is more suitable to exist as a technical support branch.

Looking at the busy people inside Chaldea, Luo Bai's gaze fell on Leonardo da Vinci, and he asked, "Dear Leonardo da Vinci, since Chaldea is moving away, will your Spirit Origin also be transferred to our world?"

With his hands on his hips, Da Vinci smiled and said, "Isn't that obvious? I'm part of Chaldea, and they can't leave me behind! I'm the third Heroic Spirit summoned by Chaldea. Unlike other Servants, I don't have a fixed Master. However, I'll need your help to transfer to another world."

Luo Bai nodded: "I know. I also need to summon Mordred, so I'll do both things at the same time. I'll go talk to Gaia and Alaya."

Upon entering the summoning room, Luo Bai quickly set up the summoning circle and began the summoning process.

However, unlike a regular summoning, Luo Bai also made a trip to the Throne of Heroes, met Gilgamesh, and then met Gaia and Alaya. Amidst the resentful expressions of these two, he took Mordred and Leonardo da Vinci's spirit origins with him.

When Luo Bai opened his eyes again, Mordred was already in front of him, and Da Vinci's spirit origin was floating beside him.

Da Vinci stepped forward, fused with his Spirit Origin, and after sensing it, said, "Hmm, it seems I still need to hurry over there. As a Heroic Spirit, it won't do if I don't have my own place in the Throne of Heroes."

Makoto Mokuzu said with a smile, "Then come with us. We can take a look at the new Chaldea base while we're at it. Dr. Roman, come along too. Don't worry about the funds here. We can finish the move today. I've also set up a defensive barrier outside, so there's no need to worry about being invaded."

Roman happily agreed.

"Let's go together then, but I need to take care of a few things first."

Please wait a moment while things are arranged.

After Roman left, Makoto and Da Vinci also left the summoning room, leaving the space to Lobe, Artoria, and Mordred.

Removing her armor, Mordred revealed her casual red attire. With one hand on her hip, she looked at Luo Bai and said, "I didn't get to greet you properly before. You're my father's current Master, right? Please take care of me from now on."

Luo Bai smiled and extended his hand: "Hello, Mordred, nice to meet you in the future. Also, I am Artoria's boyfriend."

Mordred shook hands with Luo Bai with a somewhat conflicted expression, then looked at her father and said, "I really didn't expect that after a thousand years, you would be living as a woman again."

Artoria smiled and said, "I am no longer King Arthur, but merely a summoned heroic spirit. I don't care so much about the past anymore. Mordred, so should I. Let's live a good life from now on. I'm sorry for many things I did back then. Looking back now, I was indeed very immature. Your birth was due to Morgan's actions. You were innocent in those matters, but I ignored your feelings."

Although she had already said some things yesterday, Mordred still felt a little uncomfortable facing Artoria's apology again. Her expression was a bit stiff as she said, "Let's talk about these things later. What about Mash and Gudako? I fought alongside them. Well, we were enemies in the Sixth Singularity, but unfortunately, I didn't have the memories of that time when I was summoned."

Luo Bai explained, "They're receiving treatment here. Gudako's been through a lot, and Mashu's condition is due to her own health issues; she won't live much longer without treatment. The relocation work here at Chaldea will take some time, so let's head back first, shall we?"

Artoria said happily, "Okay, let's go back first. I'll take Mordred around to get her familiar with the surroundings."

Having completed all the necessary tasks, Luo Bai took Artoria and Mordred back to the base.

After getting to know Shinobu and the others, and then meeting Gudako and Mashu who were receiving treatment, Luo Bai took the two of them back home.

Although Mordred and Artoria look exactly alike and have the same figure, Luo Bai felt that he could easily recognize them even if they were wearing the same clothes because of their personalities. The difference in their expressions was indeed quite significant.

Looking at Mordred's clothes, Luo Bai thought for a moment and said, "Well, Artoria, let's take Mordred out to buy some clothes later. Although this outfit is quite nice, it's better if she doesn't wear it outside."

Artoria nodded in deep agreement: "I think so too."

Mordred: "?"

Volume 1: Chapter 673 Mordred Shopping at the Mall (1/2)

After hearing that they were going out shopping, Ushiwakamaru and Rin wanted to go too, so the four of them went out together.

With nothing else to do today, Luo Bai settled down on the sofa, put his arm around Mai's shoulder, and started watching TV.

Half an hour later, Sakura, Medusa, and Anna arrived together. They had gone out to buy groceries after breakfast and had just returned.

Seeing them take out a huge pile of groceries from their bracelets, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Now you know how big-scale our grocery shopping is, right?"

Medusa smiled and nodded: "It is indeed quite outrageous, but Sakura adapted quite quickly."

After arranging the different types of meat neatly, Sakura said with a happy expression, "Yes, I really like this lively and relaxed environment. It's just that I'm not very familiar with Chinese cuisine yet, so I need to learn more."

Looking around, Sakura asked curiously, "By the way, where's my older sister?"

Luo Bai replied, "Rin, Ushiwakamaru, Artoria, and Mordred went shopping. Mordred just arrived, and we're going to buy her some clothes."

"Mordred," Medusa asked thoughtfully, "So, what happened to that thing you were talking about last night? How should I address you, Mordred?"

"..."

Luo Bai remained silent, then, seeing Mai's suppressed laughter, said, "Let's discuss each case separately. While Mordred is indeed related to Artoria by blood, strictly speaking, an android created with Artoria's blood is different from a real mother and daughter. And although their relationship is good now, it will need to be improved gradually, step by step. But putting everything else aside, Mordred's strength is quite impressive."

As a homunculus created by Morgan le Fay, Mordred's physical stats are almost identical to Artoria's. The only differences between them are in combat experience and Noble Phantasms.

Of course, while her Noble Phantasm power is somewhat weaker, in terms of actual combat, Mordred is still a top-tier existence in this world.

Not to mention that with the presence of a top-tier Master like Lobe now, Mordred's Noble Phantasm can unleash combat power far exceeding that of the past with the support of powerful magic.

While it may not be possible to grant Mordred's wish to become a king surpassing Arthur, it should still be possible for her to become a warrior comparable to Artoria.

The perspective shifts to Artoria's side.

With Artoria, who had a driver's license, driving, the four of them arrived at a shopping mall in the bustling city center. Their primary task for the day was to give Mordred a new outfit.

After browsing through several women's clothing stores, Artoria finally gave in to Mordred's persistence and allowed her to buy an outfit she liked.

Wearing short hot pants, a white short-sleeved shirt, and a red vest, she looks like a vibrant young girl.

Looking at Mordred's attire, Rin nodded: "Well, although you two look alike, I have to say, Artoria, you can't impose your own style on Mordred. Making her wear your clothes would be completely mismatched. This is just fine."

Artoria sighed, took her bank card out of her wallet, and handed it to the clerk to swipe.

"It seems this is the only way; at least this is somewhat normal."

Mordred was quite pleased with her new outfit. Smiling, she approached Artoria and looked at the bill in her hand, saying, "Oh! That's quite expensive. But are you so rich now? Can I ask Luo Bai for some pocket money?"

Putting the bank card away, Artoria said, "Your bank card will be processed and delivered this afternoon. Don't worry, you'll receive your salary later."

These heroic spirits are all affiliated with the Chiba branch. Although they don't usually have any missions, they do receive a salary, and it's not low. When a major situation arises, it's their turn to be deployed.

Upon hearing this, Mordred became excited.

"That's really great! Let's go, I'm quite interested in this place, let's check out the other shops!"

Although she had been summoned before, it was always in singularities. This was Mordred's first time in modern society, and she still needed to experience the modern knowledge she had received in her mind!

For the rest of the morning, the group strolled around the mall, played a game at the arcade, and then found a well-reviewed restaurant for a big meal.

In the restaurant's private room, Rin and Ushiwakamaru were also...

Another difference between Artoria and Mordred was discovered: their appetites.

Although Mordred is of Artoria's bloodline and has a considerable appetite, she is far from reaching the level of Artoria's bottomless gluttony. She can only be described as having a good appetite and liking delicious food.

However, this girl doesn't seem to like potatoes or potato-based foods. It's probably because the food wasn't very good when she was with the Knights of the Round Table, and she ate too much potatoes.

As for Artoria, needless to say, she's currently vying with Oguri Hat and Miyu for the title of the biggest eater in the family.

Unlike when she was queen, Artoria now has a bigger appetite and her requirements for food have gradually increased; she's no longer content with just being able to eat anything.

Fortunately, Luo Bai's family is large and wealthy, and they don't need a few big eaters, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to support them.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Mordred said with satisfaction, "The food here is really good, there are many things I've never eaten before!"

Sitting next to Mordred, Artoria, her cheeks puffed out, swallowed her food and said, "It's not bad, but I still think home-cooked meals are the best. Whether it's Lobe or Yukino, their cooking skills are superb."

"Sigh... Is that so? It seems that you are quite satisfied with that Master, Father."

Up to this point, Mordred's understanding of her Master is limited to two things: his great strength and his large harem. She knows nothing else about him.

But seeing how satisfied his father was, he figured it couldn't be too bad, and as his follower, he wasn't too bad off.

Rin smiled and looked at Mordred: "There's still plenty of time this afternoon, Mordred. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"A place I want to go."

Resting his chin on his hand, Mordred thought for a moment and then said, "Let's go somewhere we can get some exercise, is there?"

"I really don't know about this. Let me ask Luo Jun."

As she spoke, Rin took out her phone, opened it somewhat awkwardly, found Luo Bai's number, and dialed it.

Volume 1: Chapter 674 Badminton (2/2)

Mordred is still a child in every sense of the word. She was created by Morgan le Fay and grew up quickly, without experiencing much of a childhood, before joining the Knights of the Round Table.

Later, he even betrayed the king and died in battle against King Arthur.

It would be perfectly reasonable to say she's a child.

After receiving Rin's call and asking about sports facilities in Chiba, Luo Bai immediately gave two options: a tennis court and a badminton hall.

In the end, Mordred chose badminton.

After learning that they were going to play badminton, Luo Bai asked around at home, and then took Ying, Medusa, and Anna out with him.

Yukino chose to study hard at home. After all, she was preparing for the college entrance exam, and even though she had excellent grades, she didn't want to relax too much.

Utaha originally wanted to come too, but Eriri came from Tokyo to discuss manga and novel illustration work with her, so she had to give up.

They drove to the badminton hall. Everyone on Luo Bai's side had changed into sportswear, but none of them had their own rackets. So they bought a few sets at the hall and then went in to find Artoria and her three friends who had already started playing.

Although it was the weekend, there weren't many people playing here today, and the venue was quite empty. After Artoria and her friends arrived, they occupied two areas and started playing one-on-one.

Artoria and the others all bought their sportswear at the badminton hall and changed into it. Artoria wore blue, Mordred wore red, Rin wore black, and Ushiwakamaru wore white. Each of them had their own unique style.

Although Artoria and Mordred are very strong, badminton also requires some skill, and the two are still getting used to it.

Upon seeing Luo Bai and the others arrive, Artoria happily swung her racket.

"Come quick, Luo Bai, tell us the rules, let's play doubles!"

Approaching Artoria, Luo Bai said with a smile, "What's wrong? You guys still haven't figured out the rules?"

Artoria eagerly picked up her racket and swung it like a sword.

"Although Rin said that it can be found online, I thought that since you're all almost here, there's no need to rush. Let's study it after everyone arrives. However, I've figured it out pretty well on my own. I've learned how to serve and stuff, and it feels quite unique to play against you."

"Alright, then I'll explain it to you Heroic Spirits who don't know much about it."

After explaining the rules and how to play, everyone started playing in groups.

Artoria and Lore were in the same group, so Mordred naturally had to fight Artoria, and then she also pulled Medusa to her side.

Meanwhile, Rin, Sakura, Ushiwakamaru, and Anna on the other side were playing in a more casual style.

After getting used to the first few shots, Artoria and Mordred gradually increased their power, and each shot came at a very tricky angle.

"watch out!"

Mordred leaped up and smashed the shuttlecock directly into the opposite corner.

However, Artoria did not make any move. Luo Bai quickly ran to the baseline and directly caught Mordred's attack.

"So fast!"
