In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

For Artoria, who was raised as a boy from childhood and was taught to become a queen, her understanding of matters between men and women was not exactly thorough, but at the very least, completely blank—as far as she knew, she knew nothing.

Therefore, if Yoshikage Kira were to lie and claim that a certain behavior is an essential trial to becoming a king, Artoria would probably believe him without a doubt and cooperate by making all sorts of poses.

Although Merlin could expose his lies, Kira Yoshikage had no doubt that, given the succubus girl's wicked nature, she would not only not expose them, but would also help push his buttocks or support his dragon, fulfilling his dream with her own hands.

But this is not what Yoshikage Kira wanted.

Although he likes hands, he would never force others to give him their hands—unless he found them.

The bad news is that he has never managed to pick it up.

The good news is that beautiful girls keep offering themselves to him.

Therefore, he was never short of hands.

"Kira-sensei, what should we learn?"

Seeing that Yoshikage Kira remained silent, Artoria finally couldn't help but ask him.

Yoshikage Kira asked:

Do you like it this way?

"Huh?"

Artoria didn't know why he suddenly asked that question, but after thinking for a moment, she replied:

"I don't know, but I think it's necessary, and I only have three hours, so I have to hurry..."

Yoshikage Kira interrupted her:

"Artoria, what do you want?"

"I don't understand." The girl looked confused.

"What do you want to gain from my and Merlin's teachings?"

Artoria thought for a moment:

"King Cheng's experience."

Why do you want the experience of becoming a king?

"Because I want to be king."

Artoria's reply was fluent, but it lacked both confusion and determination; it was simply a logical and straightforward answer.

Her upbringing and the people around her constantly reminded her that she was King Uther's child, destined to become the King of Britain, and that she had to strive for it.

Therefore, her answer was without any hesitation: she wanted to become the Queen of Britain!

Yoshikage Kira continued to press:

"And then, what happens after you become king?"

"Govern Camelot as king."

"How to govern? What systems and methods should be used? What are the specific reform plans? How does Camelot treat other countries in Britain?"

Should unification be achieved by force, through a loose federal system, or by maintaining the status quo? If unification is by force, how should the royal families of other countries be dealt with? Should they be eradicated to prevent future troubles, or should they be tolerated and allowed to return to power? If a loose federal system is adopted, how can other countries be persuaded to willingly join the federation?

This barrage of questions silenced Artoria:

"I...I don't know."

The girl's eyes were filled with confusion; everyone had always told her that she must become the queen.

But no one ever told her what she should do when she became queen.

Indeed.

She received a great deal of instruction on being a king, but that instruction only told her what a perfect king should be like and how she should play the role of that perfect king.

But no one ever told her what this queen was supposed to do.

Perhaps they felt this was too far off and planned to teach her slowly after she became queen.

Ultimately, however, there is only one answer that Artoria can give right now:

"I do not know."

The girl murmured to herself, trying hard to think, but perhaps because there were too many questions, she was unable to give a precise answer.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

Artoria bit her lip and asked humbly, seeking guidance.

Kira Yoshikage said calmly:

"I can't give you the answer; you'll have to figure that out for yourself."

Yoshikage Kira couldn't give Artoria an answer, because he didn't know either.

He asks a question because he knows the answer.

He said all this simply to stump Artoria, his goal being to get her to admit she didn't know.

Simply put, he is in CPU Artoria.

"You have been taught to be a king for ten years, but you have never thought about what a king should really do. This shows that you have never thought about what a 'king' should be like. You do not understand that being a king is an obligation, nor can you understand the responsibilities that a king should bear."

Because no one ever told King Artoria what to do.

Merlin thought to himself.

The original plan was to teach her slowly after she became queen, just as bread must be eaten one bite at a time and a road must be walked one step at a time.

Become a king first, then learn how to be a king; that is the right way.

not to mention.

Artoria, who was constantly receiving various forms of education day and night, even in her dreams, simply didn't have time to think.

Merlin thought it was only natural, Sir Hector thought it was only natural, and Yoshikage Kira thought it was only natural as well.

But Artoria doesn't think so.

Faced with Yoshikage Kira's accusations, the girl accepted them all, her heart filled with guilt and self-reproach.

"Sorry……"

The girl was almost overwhelmed by guilt, and her voice was hoarse.

Even the succubus girl, who always thought she didn't understand human emotions, felt some pity for Artoria at this moment, worried that she might burst into tears.

But she didn't; instead, her eyes became incredibly earnest.

"Teacher, please teach me!"

"I can't teach you,"

Yoshikage Kira said coldly and without any politeness, "I told you, you need to think for yourself."

The girl remained silent. Just as Kira Yoshikage had said, she began to think, breaking down the question Kira Yoshikage had given her step by step, and trying to give her own answer.

however.

Just as she was about to come to an answer, Yoshikage Kira interrupted her once again.

"Artoria, let's play a game."

"game?"

Artoria paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked:

"Is this a swordsmanship contest?"

"It's a small game called hopscotch."

Instead of giving a specific explanation, Yoshikage Kira began whispering to Merlin.

"Can it be done?"

"Yes, it's very simple."

The warm breath on her face made the dream demon girl's cheeks flush slightly, but she still nodded gently.

With a gentle wave of the staff, the sea of ​​flowers in front of them transformed into countless petals that dissipated into the air, revealing an open space.

There are ten squares arranged in a row on the open ground.

Some of these blocks are in a single row, while others are two blocks combined into a row.

Each square is labeled with numbers in sequence, from 1 to 9, and finally, the throne.

Kira Yoshikage stood in front of the square marked "1", picked up the "sandbag" made of flower petals, and explained:

"In the East, this game is called hopscotch or hopscotch."

"The rules are simple: throw the beanbag into square number 1, then hop into square number 1 on one foot, and proceed to the throne in the order of the square numbers. If you encounter two adjacent squares or the throne, you can land with both feet, with your feet on opposite sides of the two squares."

"Following the order of 1 to 9, reach the throne and jump back in the same way, picking up the beanbag on the way back, and finally jumping out; then throw the beanbag into square 2 and repeat the jumping method again."

"If you can throw the beanbag across all the squares, you gain the right to capture a point. That is, stand at the starting point, face away from the squares, and throw the beanbag. The square where the beanbag lands becomes your own house, where you can write your name. In the following game, no one else can step on that square; they must jump over it."

"When all squares are covered with houses, the person with the most houses wins."

Do you understand?

"kindness."

Artoria nodded slightly; the rule was easy to understand.

"That sounds interesting, I'll give it a try!"

Merlin's eyes lit up, and she took the sandbag from Kira Yoshikage in a coquettish manner, tossing it into square number 1.

Then hop on one foot into square 1, then square 2, then square 3, land on both feet in squares 4 and 5, hop on one foot into square 6, land on both feet in squares 7 and 8, then hop on one foot into square 9, finally enter the throne, and return along the same path.

Merlin turned around, somewhat excitedly asking:

"Next, throw the beanbag into square number 2, and jump again. Throw it ten times in total. Finally, throw it onto the throne and complete the entire jump to finish the round. Then you can start capturing points, right?"

"Yes."

Yoshikage Kira nodded slightly.

"Shall I go first?"
