Crossover Anime: Starting by fusing with an old sword and summoning Morgan
Chapter 86 Summer Night's Yukata and Fireworks
Summer in Fuyuki City is always accompanied by restless heat waves.
However, in the Western-style mansion in Fukayama-cho—the Fairy Palace—today's heat doesn't stem from the temperature, but from the female hormones that are about to lift the roof off and the chaos known as the "Clothing War."
"No! This is too tight! Irisviel, do you have one that's a little looser?"
"Um... Saber, if it's too loose, it'll look like pajamas. Just bear with it, this is to make Luo Chen's eyes light up!"
"Whoa! How am I supposed to tie this strap?! I'm going to be strangled! Is this some kind of torture device?!"
"Don't move! Mordred! If you move again, I'll tie you up!"
The changing room on the second floor seemed to have turned into a battlefield.
Luo Chen, who was strictly forbidden from entering, was wearing a dark blue men's bathrobe and standing alone in the entrance hall on the first floor. He was waving a bamboo fan in his hand, listening to the chaotic noises upstairs, with a helpless yet indulgent smile on his lips.
"It seems that women of all eras spend the same amount of time on 'dressing up'."
Luo Chen glanced at the clock on the wall.
There are still two hours until the fireworks display begins.
An hour and a half had passed since they went in to change clothes.
"Woof! Master!"
The kitchen door was pushed open, and Tamamo Cat rushed out wearing an adorable short yukata with cat paw prints, still wearing her apron, carrying a plate of freshly cut chilled watermelon.
"Waiting is boring! Let's eat some melon seeds! This is a cat-made 'cool and refreshing slice'!"
Luo Chen smiled and accepted a slice of watermelon: "Thanks, Xiaoyu. Are you ready too?"
"Of course! Cats don't need those complicated straps, cats are the naked type... no, the natural type!" Tamamo-neko proudly wagged its fluffy tail.
Just then, a sound finally came from the stairwell.
"Sorry to keep you waiting... Luo Chen."
Luo Chen raised his head, his breath catching in his throat slightly.
Leading the way was Joan of Arc.
She styled her magnificent blonde hair into a graceful updo, adorned with a white lily hairpin.
She was wearing a light purple yukata embroidered with iris patterns.
Having shed her saintly armor and robes, she now resembles a Yamato Nadeshiko stepping out of a painting, her shyness radiating a captivating purity.
"W-How is it? Will it look strange?" Joan of Arc nervously gripped the hem of her clothes, her wooden clogs shifting uncomfortably.
"It's beautiful."
Luo Chen didn't hold back his praise, stepping forward to take her hand: "Just like a violet."
"Hmph, what's so attractive about that plain color?"
A haughty snort followed immediately.
Jeanne Alter walked down with her arms crossed.
She chose a yukata that was a deep red and black brocade robe, with flame-like patterns on the hem and an exaggerated bow tied at the waist.
Her short, silver-white hair was permed into soft curls, and paired with her disdainful eyes and slightly reddened ears, she was simply "the devil's temptation."
"What are you looking at! Irisviel forced this on me! I don't want to wear this goldfish-like dress!"
"Yeah?"
Luo Chen smiled and leaned closer to her, whispering in her ear, "But I think this 'goldfish' is so cute, it makes me want to... take it home."
Jeanne Alter instantly transformed into the Steam Princess, turning her head away and remaining silent.
Immediately afterwards, Artoria and Mordred also came down.
The Knight King wore a light blue yukata with a simple flowing water pattern, and a folding fan was tied at his waist. He exuded a dignified and refreshing air.
Mordred, on the other hand, looked utterly dejected. She was forced to wear a short red and white yukata, revealing her long, slender legs.
"Dad... these clogs are impossible to walk in! Can't we get some combat boots instead?" Mordred complained.
"No way." Luo Chen refused sternly. "You're a lady tonight, Xiao Mo."
Finally, the lady of the house made her appearance.
Morgan Le Fey.
The moment she appeared at the top of the stairs, the surrounding light dimmed slightly, just to highlight her presence.
She wore a deep black silk bathrobe, as dark as the night sky, embroidered with mysterious runes of the fairy kingdom in silver thread, which shimmered with light as she moved.
Her silver hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with only a deep red rose pinned to her ear.
Noble, aloof, and exuding a suffocatingly powerful aura.
"Arthur".
Morgan stretched out her hand, looking down at him; her arms, wrapped in black lace, shone brightly white under the light.
"Come here, help me up."
Luo Chen strode up the stairs, like the most loyal knight, and took the queen's hand.
"It is my great honor, Your Majesty."
"Let's go."
Morgan smiled with satisfaction, her gaze sweeping over the group of dazzling "family members" downstairs, her eyes carrying the composure unique to an empress:
"Let's go see that so-called fireworks display. I hope that 'fleeting brilliance' is worthy of my presence."
……
Fuyuki City, by the Meiyuan River.
Today, both banks of the Weiyuan River are already packed with people.
Various food stalls lined the riverbank, their lanterns casting a fiery glow.
The aroma of takoyaki, the sweetness of candied apples, and the laughter of children catching goldfish intertwine to create a picture of midsummer.
However, when Luo Chen and his "extraordinary" entourage stepped into the venue, the previously noisy crowd fell into a moment of deathly silence.
It's too dazzling.
A man who is unbelievably handsome is surrounded by all sorts of stunningly beautiful women.
This is practically like a procession of gods during a night parade of a hundred demons.
"Wow... what kind of group is that?"
"That blonde foreigner is so pretty..."
"That beautiful woman in black has such a strong presence, I don't even dare to look at her..."
The whispers around them did not dampen their spirits.
Morgan casually performed a "cognitive impairment" magic trick, which amazed ordinary people but made them subconsciously avoid the road and dare not approach to chat.
"Meat! It tastes like meat!"
Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) instantly locked onto its target. She pointed to a stall with a long queue not far away:
"Dust! Is that... an okonomiyaki? It looks so filling!"
"Then let's go buy it."
Luo Chen smiled, took out his wallet from his pocket, and handed it to Artoria:
"Enough for you today. Buy whatever you want to eat."
"Thanks!"
The Knight King's eyes lit up. Holding up the hem of his yukata, which made movement inconvenient, he dashed toward the back of the group with astonishing agility.
"I want to go too! I want that sticky-looking candy!"
Mordred pointed to the candied apple stall and dragged Sakura and Ilya over there.
"Slow down, Mo! Don't drop Sakura and Ilya!" Irisviel called out from behind, gently following after them.
"Master, Master! I want to play that!"
Melusin floated beside Luo Chen, pointing to a shooting game booth:
"The shopkeeper said if you hit the heart, you'll get the biggest plush toy! I want that one!"
Luo Chen glanced at the stall.
The shop owner was a shrewd-looking middle-aged man who was smirking at passersby.
That air rifle had clearly been tampered with; the sights were crooked.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Luo Chen led Melissa, Morgan, and the Joan of Arc over.
"Hey! Handsome guy! Want to give it a try?"
When the boss saw the beautiful woman next to Luo Chen, he immediately greeted her warmly.
"500 yen per shot! If you hit the bullseye, the grand prize—a giant teddy bear—is yours! It'll definitely impress your girlfriend!"
Luo Chen glanced at the teddy bear.
"Melushin, do you want it?"
"Yes! I want it!" Melusin nodded vigorously.
Luo Chen took out a coin and tossed it to the shopkeeper, then picked up the air gun and weighed it in his hand.
"Too light."
He casually handed the gun to Melousin:
"Go ahead. Show the boss what 'precision guidance' really means."
"hey-hey."
Melissa took the gun.
Under the boss's dismissive gaze, asking "Can this little girl even lift it?", the fairy knight's clear dragon eyes narrowed slightly.
No need to aim, no need to adjust your breathing.
For her, as the strongest single-target dragon, this distance was no different from having someone right next to her face.
boom!
The cork flew out.
Instead of tracing a parabola like a regular bullet, it seemed to be imbued with some kind of magic, transforming into a straight white line.
Snapped!
Not only was the red heart pierced, but a large hole was also punched in the wooden board behind it, and the grand prize teddy bear was knocked down by the impact.
"This, this..." The boss was dumbfounded.
"And that one too! I want that one too!"
Meilushin pointed to the model that won the second prize.
boom!
Another hole.
"That one too!"
boom!
In just one minute.
The shop owner looked at the empty shelves and felt like crying.
This isn't just a little girl, this is practically a special forces soldier!
"Hmph, what a boring toy."
Meiluxin, carrying a teddy bear bigger than herself, flew back to Luo Chen's side with a proud expression:
"I can shoot down even the stars if my Master wants something."
"That's great."
Luo Chen patted her head, ignoring the boss's pained expression, and continued forward with his spoils.
……
"Hey, Luo Chen."
As they walked, Jeanne d'Arc Alter suddenly tugged at Luo Chen's sleeve.
By this time, everyone had gone off to buy things, and Morgan had been pulled away by Alice to discuss jewelry, leaving only the two saintly sisters by his side.
"What's wrong?" Luo Chen turned his head.
Jeanne Alter held a red candied apple in her hand and awkwardly offered it to Luo Chen's lips:
"This... is too sweet, I can't finish it, can you help me with some?"
Luo Chen looked at the apple candy that had clearly been bitten and had a faint tooth mark on it, and then at Jeanne d'Arc's ears, which were bright red.
This isn't about not being able to finish the food; it's clearly a haughty, indirect invitation to kiss.
"Really? Then I'll try it."
Luo Chen didn't expose her. He lowered his head and took a bite of the red candy coating on her hand.
Mmm, it's cloyingly sweet.
But within this sweetness lies the unique awkwardness and affection of a young girl.
"How is it?" Jeanne Alter stared at him nervously.
"It's very sweet."
Luo Chen licked his lips and looked at her meaningfully:
"As sweet as you."
"Ugh!!"
Jeanne Alter almost threw the candied apple away, then shyly shrank behind Jeanne.
"Pervert! Who told you that?!"
"hehe……"
Joan of Arc covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, but then she looked at Luo Chen with some anticipation, holding two newly bought masks in her hands—one a fox and the other a Prajna.
"That... Luo Chen."
Joan of Arc handed the Prajna mask to Luo Chen, then put on the fox mask herself, covering half her face except for her bright, sparkling eyes.
"The book says... if you wear a mask at the festival, you won't be discovered by the gods, and you can do things you wouldn't normally dare to do..."
"Oh?"
Luo Chen took the mask and put it on the side of his face:
"for example?"
Joan of Arc looked around to make sure Morgan wasn't paying attention.
She suddenly tiptoed and, through the mask, quickly pecked Luo Chen's cheek.
"For example... a sneak attack."
After saying that, this usually dignified saint actually grabbed the still-stunned Jeanne d'Arc Alter and, like a child who had done something naughty, ran laughing into the crowd.
"Come and chase us, Luo Chen!"
Luo Chen touched the lingering sensation on his cheek and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Seriously...they've all gone astray."
"However... this feeling isn't bad."
……
At 8 PM, the fireworks display begins.
To avoid the crowds, Luo Chen led everyone to a high ground near Weiyuanchuan.
The view here is expansive, and there are no outsiders to disturb you.
"It's about to begin!"
Ilya and Sakura excitedly pointed to the sky.
Whoosh—smack!
The first golden firework burst in the night sky, its huge halo illuminating the entire city of Fuyuki and the faces of everyone looking up.
Immediately afterwards, countless fireworks soared into the sky.
Red, green, blue, purple...
They intertwined and collided in the air, falling like a meteor shower, adorning the night as brilliantly as day.
"What a nice view……"
Artoria held a half-eaten takoyaki in her hand, gazing up at the sky, her eyes reflecting a myriad of lights:
"Is this... the radiance of peace?"
"Hmph, although it can't compare to the aurora borealis of the Fairy Kingdom, it's still worth a look."
Morgan stood beside Luo Chen, and although she was critical, her body betrayed her by leaning against Luo Chen's chest.
She watched the fleeting fireworks and said softly:
"Arthur".
"Um?"
"Did you know? Fireworks may be fleeting, but the people watching them are eternal."
Morgan turned her head, her beautiful, icy blue eyes gleaming with a captivating light in the glow of the fireworks:
"As long as you are here, this moment is eternity."
Luo Chen's heart stirred slightly, and his gaze swept over Morgan, along with Nero, Jeanne d'Arc, Ria, and others beside her, bringing them into his line of sight.
These heroic spirits from different eras and different legends have gathered here because of him, sharing the same sky and the same emotion in this small city of Fuyuki.
"ah."
Luo Chen's voice was deep and firm, piercing through the roar of the fireworks and reaching everyone's ears:
"I will always be here."
"Whether now or in the future."
"We will travel to more parts of the world together and see more scenery."
"Our journey... has only just begun."
boom! boom! boom!
The largest burst of fireworks exploded overhead, and golden rain of light cascaded down like a waterfall.
In this dazzling brilliance.
Morgan stood on tiptoe and kissed Luo Chen's lips.
Immediately afterwards, Nero grabbed his left arm, Jeanne Alter tugged at his clothes, Melisandre lay on his back, and Artoria stood smiling and guarding him...
This is a still frame.
It is also the warmest and most perfect footnote to Luo Chen's family.
