Davidian's Holy Grail War

"Let's go to Mike's shop and rest for a while. I have something I want to say anyway. What do you think, Percival?"

Da Vinci spoke up at this moment, but Percival still chose to run straight back to Lentinium. With Woodworth and Bogzart both attacking him, he had to go back immediately to take charge of the round table.

"And although the Child of Prophecy will receive it, he probably won't be very kind to me, the commander of the Round Table Legion."

Percival concluded with these two sentences, leaving everyone else stunned.

That's a really strange statement. Aren't they all rebels? Cooperation is much better than hostility.

"Indeed, the Round Table Army and the Salisbury Resistance Army are different organizations, and their operations are somewhat different, wouldn't you say?"

Besides, Aurora is still nominally the clan chief of the Queen's faction. If she were to express any intention to cooperate with the Round Table Army, she would be the first to be eliminated.

Caster added that if Davidian had been there, she would probably have agreed with her idea.

She's absolutely right! Davidian had long wanted to find an opportunity to kill Aurora, but the woman was too good at pretending and never gave herself away, which prevented Davidian from finding a suitable opportunity.

"That's true, but just sitting around and watching things unfold like this is really frustrating..."

Muramasa's tone became somewhat somber towards the end. He knew, of course, that the choice was correct. But it was precisely because the choice was correct that it was all the more unsettling, making Muramasa inexplicably dislike the woman named Aurora.

But Percival laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned, and explained, "After all, understanding doesn't mean agreement, and it's normal for Lord Muramasa to have such thoughts. However, this choice is indeed very much in the style of Lady Aurora. Kundley also said that she can still run, so I'll head back to Lentinium first."

Upon arriving in Salisbury, the two sides parted ways. Percival continued his journey toward Lentinium, while Ritsuka and the others chose to rest there.

But Castor, sitting in Mike's shop, was now completely blushing with shame, because the songs coming from outside were making him really uneasy!

"The incredibly adorable Child of Prophecy~ The incredibly reliable Child of Prophecy~ The valiant savior of Norwich, who doesn't yield an inch to the Queen even in Camelot~ Revive Lentinium, defeat the Fairy Knight~"

Ritsuka, suppressing a laugh, patted her shoulder, indicating that if she wanted to go out and have fun, she should go ahead; after all, she's a big star now!

We just saw them using Custer's face as a mold to make desserts. Why don't we just buy a kilogram and share it with everyone?

"What big star... Don't use other people's faces to make desserts! And the desserts made are even prettier than the real person. Do the Wind Clan feel uncomfortable if they don't make fun of others?!"

Caster could only make a final stand with a soft, seductive voice in an extremely shameful situation, but this only made Ritsuka laugh even more.

Finally, Caster couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, clenching his fists and punching Ritsuka, who laughed and fought back.

The two of them started wrestling without caring about the people around them, which made everyone around them laugh.

What a magnificent wild boar from Tintagel...

Oberon thought so.

Chapter 372 Testing

"It's Dahunqi! Dahunqi is back~ Honestly, what do you mean by 'just a quick trip back'? You haven't been back for over two weeks."

No, no, no, it's okay. This kind of thing is not important at all. I have a lot of things I want to show Dahunqi!

I cooked new dishes, made good relations with the Wind Clan, and even attended a human gathering! It was tiring, but I had a lot of fun every day!

Mike, the shop owner, happily ran out of the kitchen to welcome Da Vinci Sauce, and Da Vinci responded with a slightly apologetic smile and said apologetic words.

Of course, the reason she couldn't keep up with Mike was that he tried so many new things that she couldn't keep up with them all. She didn't expect so many changes to have happened in just over two weeks.

"Mike is better at focusing on one thing at a time. I think you should do things one step at a time."

Despite her evaluation, Mike felt no sense of loss whatsoever.

On the contrary, he enthusiastically said that his discoveries were far from what Leonardo da Vinci had taught him, which made Leonardo da Vinci feel helpless.

"Honestly, now that you mention it, I can't even blame you. Ritsuka, excuse me, I'm going to the kitchen. I need to rate Mike's new menu, hopefully he didn't come up with anything weird."

Ritsuka smiled and said she was fine with it, and that they could take a break at Mike's shop.

The others also remarked that it was thanks to the connection established by Da Vinci that they had such a wonderful place to rest, although Mike was more like Da Vinci's student than a friend.

"Hey, everyone's here. I've been searching all this way and finally found Redra Bitt. I looked around and then I found you all here."

It was Oberon who spoke; he strode in from outside the shop. Ritsuka saw him and asked how he was doing, since only one night had passed.

"Don't worry about me, let's get down to business. Although I appreciate everyone's concern, we don't have the leisure for that right now."

Woodworth and Bogzart's armies have surrounded Lentinium and could attack at any moment; we must devise a way to defeat them.

"How to defeat them?"

Everyone was surprised. They hadn't even started fighting yet, and he was already thinking about how to win? Oberon was amazing; he seemed to have a real knack for it.

"I want a katana, Muramasa. Can you forge one for me?"

"Huh?" Muramasa was dumbfounded. Why was he suddenly asked to make a sword? Could a single sword possibly defeat those thousands of fanged demons? That was unrealistic.

But Oberon explained that fighting with tree branches would be ridiculous, after all, he was a boy. Muramasa's sword was really cool, and he could easily have one tucked into his belt.

"I'm telling you, what guy would want to carry a sword just because he's handsome? Besides, fairies are all afraid of metal, aren't they?"

Muramasa couldn't hold back any longer. Although he knew the guy in front of him was just joking, he still couldn't help but correct Oberon's idea. Getting hurt was no joke.

"It's alright! I was just using it to show off! Who would use something so dangerous!"

Muramasa rejected all of Oberon's nonsense outright! He simply said he would make Oberon a bamboo sword to play with next time, but that was all.

"How stingy! You only managed to defeat Bagst because of me in the forest, didn't you?" Oberon started acting like a scoundrel, but Muramasa still insisted that he had no intention of forging weapons for someone who couldn't even wield a sword.

Speaking of this, Ritsuka suddenly spoke up: "However, it's quite surprising. Although Oberon kept saying that he couldn't be a combatant, he actually has a variety of tricks up his sleeve when he actually fights. The thing about not being able to go to the battlefield was just a joke, right?"

Upon hearing this, Oberon cleverly responded that he was afraid of pain, so he was just a support-type Servant.

Besides, with Artoria around, he didn't want to be too conspicuous. If Artoria felt that her attendant was more capable than her, she might get discouraged and run back to Tintagel.

"So until she builds up her confidence, I've decided to step back and stay behind the scenes."

Caster's expression was also somewhat subtle at this moment. She simply replied casually that if that were the case, she might really have run back to Tintagel.

"I see," Ritsuka replied, then dropped the subject.

Although everyone else thought Ritsuka was just joking, he knew very well that he had just been testing Oberon's abilities. However, Oberon cleverly passed the buck to Caster and simply moved on from the matter.

He's really hiding it very well; that's the only thing Ritsuka can be sure of right now. But whether this concealment will have any impact on her side remains to be seen.

He also noticed Castor's expression, and recalled Oberon's words from the previous night...

The burning Welsh forest somehow reminded Castor of Tintagel? For it to enrage someone as generally positive as Castor to such an extent, there must be something more to it.

While they were chatting idly, Da Vinci-chan suddenly appeared.

She urgently told everyone something: some Norwich refugees had fled to Salisbury, and the goblins had set off for Lentinium this morning, saying they were going to join the Round Table Army.

Hearing this, everyone looked surprised; they hadn't expected this. Norwich hadn't provided direct aid before, usually just sending supplies. Now, someone was actually going to join the Round Table? This was truly unexpected.

"Could it be because we defeated Bagst?" Gareth asked with a hint of doubt. After all, they had just defeated the fairy knight Gawain last night; the news couldn't have spread so quickly.

Da Vinci nodded; things were just as Gareth had said. News of their defeat of the fairy knight Gawain had spread throughout Britain, and Da Vinci had already guessed who was spreading the rumors, but for now, she didn't need to worry about it.

However, Ritsuka already guessed who had helped them in this situation, but from this point on, he also instinctively began to doubt the current development of events.

The suspicion arose not from any other reason than because everything was going too smoothly.

From the first bell in Norwich until now, their operation has been "forced" to proceed too smoothly.

It was as if someone was orchestrating all of this and pushing them forward, and the thought of it made him feel uneasy.

Because he was preoccupied with these thoughts, he didn't hear what the people around him were saying for a while, until Oberon finally spoke up and gave his summary:

"Of course, you've already met the prerequisites. Now it's Aurora's turn to keep her promise. We'll go to her with a perfectly legitimate reason and ask for our reward for saving Norwich!"

Chapter 373 Finding a way to mess with his mentality

The bells of Salisbury rang out once again throughout the Fairy Kingdom, but perhaps because of the Norwich example, no one paid much attention this time.

After all, everyone knew that Bogzart and Woodworth's armies had already surrounded Lentinium, and the Round Table Army was like grasshoppers in autumn, not going to last much longer.

David, who was in Camelot, also heard the bells. His first instinct was to rush over and use the incident as a reason to chop Aurora in half.

But then he calmed down after thinking about it again. If he used this reason, then it would be inevitable that some people would criticize Bogzart, who had been let go before.

That woman Aurora is truly meticulous; finding a suitable reason to execute her is incredibly troublesome.

After the bell-ringing ceremony, Castor's strength increased once again. Ritsuka and the others left Salisbury in high spirits. Aurora's straightforwardness had surprised them, but it was all for the best.

"Power! Strength! Destructive power! All of these have been enhanced at once—let me be clear! I am the strongest now, and Bagst is no match for me! How dare you say that? I, Gareth, am truly convinced!"

Caster felt intense shame. The power she had generated from ringing the bell surged forth, and she used that momentum to launch into a torrent of trash talk.

Now that Gareth has given her a live demonstration of being a broken record, she wishes she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Let's forget about it. If it were Tristan, I should be able to win this one-on-one. But don't even think about Bagst. The difference in strength is at least ten times. If I go to fight her one-on-one, the Child of Prophecy will probably perish."

Ritsuka jumped in at the right moment to pour cold water on her, saying that she should never have the idea that she was invincible after ringing the second bell!

Calmness has been the key to their survival all this time. If they were to do something strange in a fit of anger, it would be troublesome.

"Ritsuka! How could you boost others' morale while diminishing your own? Take this!"

Caster couldn't resist throwing a punch, but Ritsuka dodged it with practiced ease, and the two started playfully wrestling again. Everyone else joined in the laughter; these two were just that much fun these days.

However, after dodging Caster's attack, Ritsuka gently grabbed her. Then, to everyone's surprise, Ritsuka hugged a bewildered Caster and offered words of encouragement:

"However, you have indeed become stronger. Although you haven't reached the level of Morgan yet, you are already much stronger than before. Very good, here's an encouraging hug for you."

“Ritsuka…” Caster blushed instantly at Ritsuka’s gentle encouragement; she had never been encouraged so gently before.
