I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"I, Gawain, and Tristan, the three of us have received names from His Majesty Morgan and become knights under his command. We are the Fairy Knights."

Melyuchina lowered her eyes slightly. "To put it simply, they are my colleagues."

"Although I understand that with such an outstanding Master, more and more people will definitely be attracted by her charm, but... Gawain and Tristan still make it difficult for me to deal with them..."

"But, I have no right to say anything... They, like me, have both been redeemed by the Master... I, who survive in this form because of my bond with the Master, only need to stay by the Master's side. How can I possibly stop them from staying by the Master's side?"

The gilded eyes dimmed a little at this moment, and the smile on Melyuchina's face was also a little bitter.

At this moment, a small hand gently covered Melyuchina's right hand. She turned her head in surprise and saw Yoshino with a worried look on her face.

“…I’m fine.”

Shaking her head, Melyuchina's face once again showed a smile as clear as a spring lake.

In return, she held Yoshino's hand, and Melyuchina's expression was gentle, as beautiful as the moonlight reflected in the lake on a summer night.

"I'm sorry for making you worry, Yoshino."

"Hehe, if your mood hasn't recovered yet, Lancelot, I can be lenient and lend you my body for a hug. Of course, this is only once."

"Shi...Shiona..."

Shion's cheeks flushed at Shion's impolite words of lending her out, but she didn't refuse outright.

When Melyuchina smiled, the others also breathed a sigh of relief. The originally heavy atmosphere dissipated like the sky clearing after the rain, and was slowly replaced by a relaxed atmosphere.

As far as they knew, the Master that Melyusina loved so much died to save her, so they could understand the inferiority and regret in Melyusina's words, but this also made them unsure how to comfort Melyusina.

Yoshino also didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only silently place her hand on Melyuchina's hand, trying to give her strength.

"Damn it! You were so careless!"

Honjo Nia suddenly started yelling, "I missed the chance to openly hold Ran-chan's hand! How can I just give up--!!"

Everyone has become somewhat accustomed to the occasional crazy behavior of the old lady Benjo Erya.

At this moment, Yuxiao Mei walked up behind Melyuchina, put her hands on Melyuchina's shoulders and pulled back slightly, so that Melyuchina's head fell on her chest, and stretched out her arms to gently wrap around Melyuchina's neck.

"Come on, Xiaolan, when you feel unhappy, just curl up in my arms and cry. My arms are always open for you."

"You're such a jerk! You run away when I'm not keeping an eye on you! Get out of my way! Let me take you!"

Yui Miku's action directly stimulated Honjo Nia, who immediately turned into an irritable older sister and rushed forward to pry Yui Miku's arm.

"Let you come?"

Yuiya Miku had a smile on her face. She lowered her eyes to glance at Honjo Nia's chest, then straightened her back proudly.

Although she didn't say anything, it felt like Yui Miku said everything.

After understanding what Yuiya Miku meant, Honjo Jiya was so angry... his veins were popping out.

Aren't your bust just a little bigger? Aren't your bras bigger than Kurumi's head? What's so great about that?

"I'm going to use the future-recording ability of the Whispering Book to turn you into an airport bastard!"

523

Chapter 523: Going to the past, bullet twelve.

After some commotion, several people began to talk about the other two fairy knights mentioned by Melyusina - Gawain (Bagster) and Tristan (Bavanshi).

"Since they are your colleagues, Ran-chan, they should be very powerful, right?"

Honjo Nia said this.

Kotori Itsuka paid special attention to what Melyuchina was going to say next. In her opinion, there was a high probability that the so-called Gawain and Tristan were elves... Although from Melyuchina's tone it seemed that the two of them also liked that Master, even if she couldn't conquer them, she should at least have a basic understanding of their personalities and abilities to avoid angering them when she met them.

"As for Gawain, although he's not as powerful as me, his combat effectiveness will be greatly enhanced at noon. As for Tristan..."

When talking about Tristan, Melyusina's expression became a little complicated.

"Although we're both goblin knights, Tristan is very weak... For Gawain and I, the name bestowed by His Majesty Morgan is a constraint. When Gawain and I abandon this name, we'll become far stronger than we are now. However... by then, we won't be ourselves anymore."

"Tristan, on the other hand, is different from the rest of us. She's very weak. Before she was given a name, she was arguably the weakest of all the fairies... The name 'Tristan' actually strengthened her."

"Unlike Gawain and me, who were chosen by His Majesty to become Fairy Knights because of our strength, Tristan...is His Majesty Morgan's adopted daughter."

After learning that Bawanxi was Morgan's daughter, several people showed surprised expressions, but not that shocked.

Although they often hear names like "Morgan", "Lancelot" and "Gawain" which are very important in myths and legends, they have almost understood that these people are not actually the same as the characters in myths and legends. At most, they are somewhat similar.

Just listen to it as someone with the same name. What's more, the only people who really understand the Arthurian myth are Gokawa Shido, Tobiichi Origami, Honjo Nia and a few others. People like Yatogami Tohka just listen to it as a story... and don't understand it.

Melyuchina didn't intend to tell everything... at least she didn't intend to tell anything about the Fairy Kingdom.

In this case, some concealment and embellishment are inevitable...

"One Valentine's Day, His Majesty Morgan suddenly asked us to describe the feeling of first love..."

"I still remember Gawain's response... 'The feeling of first love? It's probably like—oh no, oh no, I'm going to have an appetite...'"

...To be honest, I understand her pain and what she's been through, but...I'm really worried that one day Gawain will lose control of his appetite and devour the Master whole.

"Then there was Tristan. She replied to Your Majesty, saying things like, 'I want to ravage him mercilessly, turning him into a broken doll, making him scream in despair and endless fear.' Even though I'd long known how hopeless Tristan was, it was still amazing that she could say such nonsense with such a smile on her face."

"Although I have no right to interfere with Master's love affairs, I absolutely cannot leave Master to dangerous people like these two... I will protect my lover until the last moment! Master will be guarded by me!"

Upon hearing this, the first thought of everyone present was...

"Why do I feel a little sorry for that Master?"

The second thought is...

"Is there no normal person among the Fairy Knights?"

"I suddenly feel that His Majesty Morgan is quite powerful... He's able to manage the three of you extremely restless elements."

Honjo Niya expressed such emotion.

"Her Majesty's power is undeniable. She is a true genius. The magic of humans that we fairies despise has completely different effects in Her Majesty's hands. She can even achieve effects such as time travel, ever-changing changes, and even the transformation of the world. Moreover, Her Majesty Morgan has special attacks against all fairies. As fairy knights, we are severely targeted..."

"The most terrifying and outrageous thing is that His Majesty Morgan, relying on the outrageous statement that 'all those who approach the princess are fairies who deserve to be killed on the spot,' changed his skill from 'Special Attack Against Fairies' to 'Special Attack Against All Things'... This is so unreasonable. Could this be the reason His Majesty was summoned as a Berserker?"

Can this be used against fairy special attacks?

……

As the sun sets in the west, the stars light up one after another.

It is not the starlight that flows like a river in the night sky, but the lights lit by the people.

Streetlights, lights shining through windows, car headlights, and the lights that decorate the streets.

On a high platform far away from the city, Melyuchina gazed at the thousands of lights flickering in the darkness, her gilded eyes surging with the brilliance of the morning light.

"Hasn't she come yet?"

Next to Melyuchina, Tobiichi Origami rarely showed signs of anxiety.

She was wearing the latest manifestation device developed by Ratatoskr. Combined with Melyuchina's teachings during this period, Origami Tobiichi now possessed the same combat power as Tohka Yatogami, whose spiritual power had not been sealed.

After learning this, Origami Tobiichi immediately made a decision and went back five years.

She couldn't wait any longer.

"I have already asked Kurumi's clone to inform the deity..."

With her eyelids slightly lowered, Melyuchina glanced at Tobiichi Origami.

"Calm down, Origami. Let hatred become your strength, not your mind... If you can't calm down, I will stop you. Without your mind, your chances of victory will only be reduced."

"…I'm sorry, Master."

After Melyuchina's reminder, Tobiichi Origami quickly realized that she was out of control, and she quickly calmed herself down according to the method Melyuchina had taught her before.

However, Origami Tobiichi did not suppress her hatred, but controlled it... After Melyuchina's teachings, Origami Tobiichi understood that this hatred was also a kind of power.

In order to defeat the elves with her human body, she is unwilling to give up all the power she can use.

Suddenly, as if their senses were triggered, Melyuchina and Tobiichi Origami looked in the same direction at the same time.

"Hehehehe..."

Amidst the wriggling shadows, the woman who appeared with her own background music slowly emerged.

"Everyone is here now. It seems... I'm the one who's late."

The dress she wore was blood-red and shadow-black, her hair was tied into two jet-black ponytails with uneven volume on each side, and her skin was as white as porcelain.

When Tokisaki Kurumi appeared, Melusina did not speak directly, but raised her eyebrows and looked at the shadow under Tokisaki Kurumi.

She was thinking... Every time Tokisaki Kurumi appears, she always has her own background music. Is it because she will arrange for a clone to play the saxophone in her shadow realm before she appears?

"Stop wasting time with this nonsense."

Tobiichi Origami, already fully equipped, stepped forward and said impatiently, "Hurry up, as agreed, and send me back to five years ago—August 3rd, five years ago."

The moment Tobiichi Origami stood out, Tokisaki Kurumi revealed a sharp gaze, and the smile on her face became more intriguing.

"Ms. Lancelot, have you really told Ms. Origami how outrageous and rebellious we are about to do?"

Quietly, Tokisaki Kurumi turned her gaze towards Melyuchina.

"If there really are gods in this world, then this foolish attempt to rewrite the world will surely bring down the gods' wrath, right?"

Tokisaki Kurumi's words drew a surprised look from Melyuchina.

The silence lasted for a long time before Melyusina slowly spoke, speaking in a calm and convincing tone, words that could be described as arrogant.

"If the gods rain down the fire of punishment upon this place, Master would probably be very troubled..."

"Then, if it really comes to that, I will have no choice but to kill the god."

The smile faded silently, and Tokisaki Kurumi stared blankly at Melusina's expressionless and delicate face, as if she was in great shock.

“…Really.”

Tokisaki Kurumi sighed helplessly, then glanced at Tobiichi Origami with a wronged look.

"Having Miss Lancelot as your escort, such treatment... to be honest, I'm a little jealous."

"..."

Origami Tobiichi didn't reply, but she also understood what Kurumi Tokisaki meant.

When he was an enemy of Melyuchina before, all he felt was the despair brought about by the huge gap in strength that was like an insurmountable chasm. But when Melyuchina stood in the position of a friend, the despair he felt at first turned into an equal sense of security.

It seemed that even if they were enemies of the gods... Melyuchina could bring them victory.

"Well, I guess you're tired of seeing my face, so... let's get started."

Tokisaki Kurumi turned around on the spot, pinched the hem of her skirt with her left hand, and bowed exaggeratedly.

"Okay, come here——[Emperor Keke]"

In response to Tokisaki Kurumi's call, a huge and ancient clock emerged from the shadow lurking at Tokisaki Kurumi's feet.

Tokisaki Kurumi pointed the muzzle of the flintlock rifle upwards and tapped her feet twice as if she was dancing.

Then, Tokisaki Kurumi's shadow began to expand its area, wriggling and spreading to Melyuchina's feet.

"Then, Miss Lancelot, I will take your time and spiritual power."

[City of Time], by expanding its own shadow, absorbs time (lifespan) and spiritual energy from those who step on it.

Tokisaki Kurumi's ability to control time is the most powerful among all the elves, and the twelve Roman numerals on the clock represent twelve different abilities. Her few shortcomings are the lack of effective means of attack and the fact that using her abilities requires consuming her own time (lifespan).

The protagonist next door will gain the ability of an elf every time he travels through a world, and the first one he obtains is the ability of Tokisaki Kurumi. However, the protagonist dislikes it in every way... because she has not obtained the skill of [City of Time Eating]. Even if she uses Tokisaki Kurumi's ability, it can only consume her own time (lifespan), and she will kill herself after using it a few times.

"If you want to give up, now is the best opportunity~"

Like a bewitching demon, Tokisaki Kurumi spoke to Melyuchina with a smile that was a bit malicious.

"I'm not an honest person. After all, I'm known as the 'worst spirit'... I might drain all your spiritual energy and break our promise."

When Origami Tobiichi heard this, her whole body tensed up slightly, and her eyes, staring at Tokisaki Kurumi, began to show hostility.

"You won't do that."

Melyuchina spoke at this moment, and the calmness in her voice made Tobiichi Origami give up on attacking immediately.

"Oh?"

Tokisaki Kurumi put the barrel of the flintlock rifle against her red lips with a charming smile on her face, "Miss Lancelot... do you trust me so much?"
