My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

"Don't call me Guinevere, Vivian. I am Li Wei."

"Yes, Lord Guinness, I understand, Lord Guinness."

Vivian smiled and spoke to Li Wei almost like she was coaxing a child. Considering her fairy status, the sixteen-year-old boy really did seem like a child in her presence.

Moreover, judging from her expression, it was obvious that she knew the meaning of the name Guinevere. Levi even wondered if it was Vivian's suggestion to Morgan.

I never would have guessed that this literary girl had such a cunning side.

“This title was handpicked by His Majesty Morgan, and it’s impossible for it to be changed.” She said very seriously, “And I think it’s quite good. Pure and loyal white suits you very well, doesn’t it? They are all positive and uplifting words.”

Positive and uplifting words don't necessarily mean good words. For example, Yoshihiro Togashi—each of his four characters is positive, but when put together…

Besides, he felt like he had just heard those words somewhere before.

"It really looks like it..." Li Wei couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Huh? What's so similar?"

"Today, I met a girl from Tintager who claims to be the savior of this world and has come to save it."

Facing Vivian, Li Wei was completely unguarded and recounted his experiences of the day in detail: "She said the same thing about the name Guinevere as you, and even her appearance is about 80% similar to yours. By the way, do you really not have any half-sisters?"

"...That's it."

Upon hearing the boy's explanation, the girl's expression changed slightly, and she visibly paused for a moment, as if she had remembered something from long ago.

For a moment, Li Wei even saw a hint of vicissitude in her eyes.

"Vivian, are you alright?" the boy asked with concern.

"It's nothing." The literary girl quickly recovered from her brief daze and returned to normal, ignoring Li Wei's question about whether she had sisters, and casually asked in return, "So, Avi, do you really think she is the savior of this world?"

"I firmly believe it."

"So why would you believe that?"

Because I had read "The Legend of King Arthur," the last class I attended before I traveled here was a history class taught by Professor Kirisu Mafuyu, where I also met a white-haired sow named Merry.

I can't bring myself to give any of these reasons, so I can only use "just kidding" as an excuse.

"It's probably just intuition."

"I see." The girl with glasses tilted her head. "Avi, do you want to help her?"

“That depends on her choice. If she asks me for help, I will step in,” Li Wei replied decisively.

"Actually, being a savior who saves the world isn't a cool job, and isn't the Fairy Kingdom doing quite well right now?"

"not good at all."

"..."

“I have consulted a large number of books and found that the number of calamities has been increasing since the Winter War,” Li Wei said. “In the beginning, the Fairy Kingdom was peaceful and calamities were almost legendary.”

As time went on, Morse began to appear more frequently, and garrisons and guards were added accordingly. Now, Morse's army has even appeared directly outside Norwich City, and in a few years, they might even flood into the city. The only reason things are still going well now is because Queen Morgan is suppressing them with her power.

However, her abilities have their limits; this approach is merely a stopgap measure, a piecemeal effort. It's foreseeable that, as time goes on, a calamity will eventually arise that even she cannot resolve, and by then, it will be too late.

This superficial prosperity is nothing more than singing in a leaky boat and drinking heavily under a burning house, oblivious to the impending capsizing. How pitiful!

silence.

Vivian, the literary-minded young woman, fell into complete silence.

Li Wei felt a little regretful, wondering if he had been a bit too harsh. This wasn't Vivian's fault.

If there were no savior, that would be one thing, but now that one has appeared, we should face the problem and solve it.

"Is this Avi's answer?" After a while, the bespectacled girl broke the silence: "Her Majesty the Queen will not stand idly by while the Savior acts arbitrarily, because that would overthrow Britain. Even so, are you still going to help her?"

“As long as she doesn’t give up and asks me for help, I will,” Li Wei replied affirmatively.

"...As expected of Avi, she is truly worthy of the title 'pure and loyal white'."

As Vivian remarked this, before Li Wei could protest, she magically produced a box from nowhere. When she opened it, what appeared before the boy was a complete set of blue and white formal wear.

Including tops, shawls, hats, tights, gloves, and shoes, the quality alone is definitely not ordinary.

I imagined what Artoria would look like in this outfit; it would be a complete transformation. Indeed, clothes make the man, and you can tell a lot about a person's appearance from their clothes.

In the original Arthurian legend, Vivian gave King Arthur the legendary sword "Excalibur," but the Vivian from the Fairy Kingdom wore a sorcerer's robe instead.

That's true, Castor doesn't look like a Saber either.

“This is the outfit worn by the previous Child of Prophecy—the one worn by the Savior during her pilgrimage. However, she abandoned her duty, and this outfit is no longer needed.” As she said this, Vivian gestured for Levi to take it: “Take it and pass it on to her for me. I hope that this Child of Prophecy will not have any regrets.”

"Will she be able to fit into the clothes of the previous Child of Prophecy?"

"The fairies in the paradise are always similar in size, so there's no need to worry about that."

That's really convenient.

"Then, can you tell me where the previous Child of Prophecy went?" Li Wei continued to press.

"...She made a choice completely opposite to her mission, going in the opposite direction from the savior." Vivian was somewhat of a riddle.

“I will report what happened today to His Majesty,” she said. “I hope we will not become enemies.”

Chapter 18 You came in response to the summons, are you my master?

"You're back."

It was 11 p.m. Today was a little special; I spent a little more time with Vivian and got home a little later.

Pushing open the door, the savior Artoria, whom I picked up from the street today, showed no signs of falling asleep. She was still wearing that dowdy outfit, and the oil lamp on the table was burning brightly, with a basic magic book on it. It seemed as if she had been waiting for me to come home.

She looks exactly like Lucy.

Thinking of this, the boy felt inexplicably happy and handed over the box he was holding.

"A gift? For me?" Caster looked incredulous.

"That's right, a friend of mine heard that you are the legendary child, so he planned to give it to you."

"Eh--!"

A profound sense of happiness filled Castor's heart.

Besides the fact that this was the first gift he had received since his birth in the Starry Sea, the greater joy came from another reason—that there were actually people besides Li Wei who were willing to believe that he was the legendary child!

Listening to Hector was definitely the right decision to make Norwich our first stop!

"It's getting late, let's get some rest."

After saying these words, Levi and Castor said goodnight to each other and then went to their respective bedrooms to rest.

Lying in bed, the boy was lost in thought.

Thanks to "Mr. Merlin," although much of Merlin's magic is physical, it provided a good foundation for his physical development during his growth. Therefore, the boy could clearly hear the sound of the girl from Tintagel tossing and turning in bed in the next bedroom, unable to fall asleep.

"Ring the pilgrimage bell in Norwich? I'll go see Spriggan tomorrow; he should give me face." With that thought in mind, the boy slowly drifted off to sleep.

……

"The sky is overcast; it's not a good day."

The next morning, Li Wei, who had fully recovered his strength and was full of energy, looked at the weather outside the window and said this.

He cultivates the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, and only needs two hours of rest to recover from physical fatigue. If someone helps him replenish his energy, the time can be shortened even further.

However, Artoria didn't look so good, with dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't slept well all night.

Today, she changed into the dress that Vivian had given her yesterday, and she looked completely refreshed, almost unrecognizable from her old, dowdy appearance.

“After breakfast, we’ll go find Spriggan. If you intend to fulfill your duty as a savior, then go and ring the pilgrimage bell,” Levi said, looking at the excited girl opposite him.

“…Hmm.” The girl’s expression was complicated, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

He had thought a lot about his conversation with Vivian yesterday. He might feel sorry for Vivian and Morgan's favor, but he still decided to embark on the path of the savior.

If you can improve yourself in one day, improve yourself every day, and keep improving yourself.

The so-called eternal fairy kingdom is nothing more than an ideal land that can no longer be reached.

Then, at that moment, a piercing alarm sounded again, causing the boy's hand to freeze in mid-air.

"Huh? What does this mean?" Artoria Caster looked bewildered.

“This is the highest level alarm. Sounding it means a large-scale disaster is occurring around the city.” Li Wei was just learning and showing no signs that he didn’t know about this just a few days ago. “The situation is not good now. Take care of yourself. I’m going to the front line to check it out.”

The boy was mentally prepared; the calamities were like dominoes, once one appeared, they would continue to fall until they could no longer be suppressed.

He instantly switched into battle mode and prepared to push open the door and leave. Before he could, the girl grabbed his hand.

The grip was unusually strong; even Li Wei couldn't pull it off in one go. This powerful force was like that of some kind of demonic boar.

“I’ll go with you,” she said. “Don’t let my appearance fool you, I’m the savior!”

Both of them had serious expressions. They stared at each other for a few seconds, and then the boy nodded: "Okay."

So the two of them, armed with weapons, joined hands and headed toward the direction from which the alarm had been issued.

……

"Is this... a calamity?"

On the front lines of Norwich City, facing the calamity that exudes a powerful threat, even the battle-hardened Bagst felt an immense sense of oppression.

Unlike the previous armies of Morse, this time there was only one calamity, but the threat it posed exceeded the sum of all the previous Morse armies.

Its shape resembles two twisted giant hands, which are extremely sanity-draining. With a wave of its hand, even the most solid positions and defenses will crumble instantly, and the attacks of the troops will feel like nothing more than a tickle.

It was so large that even city walls looked like sandcastles built by children in front of it. It seemed to move slowly and sluggishly, but once it took a step, people realized that it had traversed such a long distance.

On this day, the fairies finally remembered the fear of being dominated by the calamity and the shame of cowering helplessly in the town.

"Can we really defeat such beings? Just how powerful are the legendary Beast Calamity and Flame Calamity?"

Gawain, the fairy knight who believed in the survival of the fittest, felt a strange emotion for the first time—its name seemed to be fear.

This sentiment is permeating the entire position.

"My lord, what should we do?" Faced with such a helpless enemy, the subordinate asked anxiously.

"His Majesty has decreed that as long as we hold out for a while, we can eliminate the calamity." As if encouraging his subordinates, and also as if cheering himself on, Bagst's eyes were once again filled with determination: "Pass down the order: hold firm, and there will be a way!"

"Yes!"

What a terrible day, it's a cloudy day with no sunshine.

The knight, who was bestowed the name Gawain and whose combat power was greatly enhanced under sunlight, gripped his greatsword, released magic power from his body, leaped up, and slashed down hard at the head of the giant calamity—if that could be considered his head.

The powerful force instantly tore open a wound, but it was repaired in the blink of an eye.

The fairy knight's smile froze on his face the moment it appeared.

Sensing a significant threat, the colossal calamity swung its massive claws, slamming them down towards the fairy knight in mid-air. Bagst had no time to change direction, and could only hold his longsword horizontally in front of his chest before being sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

"Anyone will do, anyone can come and help!"

The immense impact nearly rendered her temporarily unable to move her limbs.

Just then, a figure leaped up and caught her in his arms.

"I have come in response to the call." The boy recalled what Meryl had told him; it seemed that this was the right thing to say at a time like this:

"Excuse me, are you my master?"

PS: Norwich's Calamity appears a little later in the game, but it's been brought forward here for the sake of smooth story flow.

Chapter 19: Isn't it only natural for Guinevere and King Arthur to replenish their mana? (Bonus chapter for monthly votes)

"Lord Guinevere, you've come to our aid."

After landing, Bagst had regained his mobility, and the wounds from the earlier slap were healing rapidly.

【Eat Fast】, the special ability of the fairy knight Gawain.

She can recover from her injuries and regain her strength after injuring others. When facing opponents weaker than her, she can become stronger as the fight goes on, and even be more energetic after the fight than before.

I would be even happier if you could call me Li Wei.

The fairy knight Guinevere (crossed out) Livy casually exchanged a few words with Bagst, then shifted his gaze to the calamity that was large enough to blot out the sky.

Compared to it, the group of Morse we saw before was nothing.
