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

Merlin was eager to try it out. This kind of game might be a bit childish for little kids, but it was just right for the dream demon girl who was probably no older than herself!

Yoshikage Kira shook his head:

"Artoria, come here."

"Eh~!"

Merlin puffed out her cheeks slightly. What was so good about her?

Is she prettier than me, has bigger breasts, or prettier hands?

What's so good about those calloused hands? Are they as soft as hers? Are they as white as hers? Can they lick you like hers?

There's clearly none of that!

Kira Yoshikage remained unmoved by the succubus girl's aggrieved and resentful gaze. He knew Merlin was faking it; this succubus girl wouldn't easily reveal her true feelings.

Even if she made him lick her hand, it was only out of curiosity and the nature of a nightmare; in other words, she was just teasing him.

At least Yoshikage Kira didn't think he was charming enough to make a succubus fall in love with him upon their first meeting.

Therefore, just ignore it.

"So……"

Artoria took the sandbag from Merlin, who had a resentful look on his face, and nervously threw it into square number 1.

Although it was just a small game, she was confident that with her physical coordination, she could complete the entire course without making a mistake.

Snapped!

The girl hopped into square number 1 on one foot, but as soon as she stood still, a hand pushed her from behind.

Caught completely off guard, the girl stumbled and jumped into square number 2, barely managing to steady herself.

But that hand pushed her again, forcing her to quickly jump into square 3, and finally her feet landed on squares 4 and 5.

Artoria turned around and saw Yoshikage Kira reach out and push her back again.

There was no regret or anger in the girl's eyes, only some confusion and bewilderment at why Yoshikage Kira would do such a thing.

"Don't look at me, keep going."

Kira Yoshikage said calmly.

After a moment's hesitation, Artoria hopped into square 6 on one foot, but Yoshikage Kira pushed her again, forcing her to hop into squares 7 and 8.

Before she could even stand up straight, Yoshikage Kira pushed her forcefully into square number 9 again, and finally her feet landed on the throne.

If it weren't for Artoria's years of rigorous training and exceptional physical coordination...

If it were anyone else, they would probably have already lost due to a foul.

However, on the way back to square 1 from the throne, Yoshikage Kira did not push her.

The girl was allowed to jump from square 9 to square 2, and finally, as she bent down to pick up the beanbag.

Kira Yoshikage suddenly shoved her hard from behind.

Snapped!

The girl, who was about to pick up the sandbag, ran out of the square due to inertia and failed to follow the rule of hopping into square number 1 on one foot.

Artoria couldn't help but ask:

"Kira-sensei, is interfering with others also one of the rules?"

"No, interfering with others is against the rules."

"Then why..."

"I'm trying to help you."

"help?"

"I'm pushing you forward, isn't that helping you?"

"No, that's not true!"

Even Artoria couldn't help but get annoyed by his sophistry, "This is clearly trying to distract me!"

"I can testify that he was interfering with you!"

Merlin raised his hand gleefully and loudly testified for Artoria, "Serves you right for not letting me play first!"

Yoshikage Kira asked, somewhat disappointed:

Do you consider this interference rather than help?

"..."

Artoria felt a pang of sympathy upon seeing the disappointment in his eyes, but still answered firmly:

“Teacher, you may think this is helping me, but it will only distract me.”

"is it?"

"Yes!"

Yoshikage Kira asked calmly:

"Then why do you still let others push you forward?"

"Huh?"

Artoria was immediately stunned.

"Isn't that so? All along, you've been pushed forward, haven't you? You never wanted to be king, but Hector and Merlin have been pushing you toward the throne called 'King.' Do you consider that interference?"

No, that's not it.

Artoria instinctively retorted, "Hecto is helping me..."

"Then pushing you won't be a disturbance."

Kira Yoshikage bent down, picked up the sandbag, and handed it to Artoria. "Continue," he said, "this time I'll push you harder to help you reach the throne."

While Artoria was still in a daze, Merlin put on a resentful expression again:

"Hector is helping you, but am I not?"

Artoria quickly waved her hand and explained:

"No, that's not it... You're all helping me."

"Then let me continue to help you."

Kira Yoshikage unceremoniously snatched the sandbag from Artoria's hand and helped her throw it into square number 1.

Then, without warning, Artoria was pushed into square number 1.

no doubt.

Artoria failed once again; she was moving forward on two feet.

Yoshikage Kira asked:

Do you still consider this helpful?

"No."

Alorlia pursed her lips, feeling conflicted.

Finally, the girl raised her head and tried to speak:

"Kira-sensei, I can do it myself. Can you please not help me?"

"A very reasonable request."

Kira Yoshikage nodded slightly, but before the girl could breathe a sigh of relief, he changed the subject again:

"But I refused."

"why?"

"Then why did you refuse my help?"

"Because such help would hinder me."

Artoria answered very seriously; she was genuinely trying to persuade Yoshikage Kira.

Yoshikage Kira pressed on relentlessly:

"And whose will led you to make this judgment?"

Artoria's eyes were resolute:

"It is my own will."

"So, you're saying that you, based on your own will, believe my help is hindering you, is that right?"

"Yes."

Artoria nodded. "This is preventing me from completing the game."

Kira Yoshikage's eyes grew increasingly disappointed:

No, I'm saving you.

"what?"

Artoria looked surprised.

But the next second, Yoshikage Kira pressed his thumb.

BOOM!

The open space where the square grid stood was blasted into a huge crater, which also made the girl's eyes become vacant.

Yoshikage Kira asked:

"If I hadn't pushed you and caused you to lose the game, do you think you would have died?"

"meeting."

Artoria couldn't help but shout, "But, but... you clearly did this!"

Yoshikage Kira retorted confidently:
