The immortal death knight failed to achieve the ending of the heroic spirit

Chapter 101 Extra Story: The Gentle Magic

Artoria is working.

This is... the second year of the execution of Menechel the Sinner.

Probably only the constant work and constant battle can fill the empty space in my heart with a busy life.

"Artoria, haven't you rested yet?"

It was Teacher Merlin's voice, out of politeness, Artoria took a short time out of her busy schedule and raised her head to respond.

How can she rest—she is the perfect king whom he, everyone, puts high hopes on?

Merlin pulled out his chair and sat opposite Artoria. Old Nightmare rested his hands on his chin and calmly watched Artoria reviewing the memorial.

"Artoria, you don't have any worries, do you?"

Merlin asked suddenly, and the girl's pen tip paused suspiciously for a moment before moving again. Merlin keenly caught this subtle change, but didn't point it out.

"No."

It was a voice that was so calm that it was approaching indifference, and the awe-inspiring aura emanating from Arturia's body said, "Mr. Merlin, why didn't you rest so late and came to chat with me instead?"

"Because I just learned a new magic recently." Merlin still held his indifferent attitude, but his tone was full of regret: "It's just a pity that Morgan was kicked out of Camelot. I can't find any magic tricks." subjects to be tested."

The pen was buckled on the table, making a not-so-small muffled sound.

Merlin raised his head and saw Artoria's bloodshot eyes.

"Mr. Merlin, if you want to see her, you should also leave Camelot City together."

Arturia's tone was not as calm as it sounded. She took Merlin's actions just now as a pleading for Morgan as a matter of course.

It is impossible for her to withdraw the ban on Morgan no matter what.

"I don't want to intercede for Morgan at all... I mean—" Merlin looked at Artoria, and deliberately elongated his tone as a joke: "I think this magic will help your mental state , so, do you need my help?"

"unnecessary."

"Don't rush to refuse, my magic can pull the person you most want to see at this time into this room."

Artoria's heart skipped a beat, and it was undeniable that she was moved.

Glancing again at Merlin who was looking expectantly like a child, Artoria took a blank piece of paper.

"No matter what, Morgan will never be forgiven"

The font was deliberately bolded, and Artoria placed the paper in a conspicuous position.Then Arturia nodded to Merlin: "Let's get started."

Even though she didn't think such a miracle could happen, Arturia made a compromise due to luck. Even if it was Merlin's boring illusion, she still wanted to see him again.

"First, you close your eyes."

Arturia closed her eyes obediently, and Merlin looked at the girl with complicated eyes, unable to speak for a long time.

As if sensing that the girl was getting impatient, Merlin finally spoke after a moment of silence.

"The ceremony is complete, open your eyes."

He opened his eyes tentatively, but there was no third person in the empty room.

Artoria cast a puzzled look at Merlin, but met Merlin's complicated eyes.

"Even if you believe such a simple lie, how much do you miss him?"

　This is the end of the content of the first volume. Although there are some stumbles and dislikes, I am still very satisfied overall.
