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

Artoria pursed her lips, her already slender body trembling slightly with guilt and fear, looking as if she were about to collapse.

The succubus girl's gaze grew increasingly pitying. Poor Artoria, he was clearly harassing you! Didn't you notice?!

Yoshikage Kira asked again:

"So, Artoria, now tell me, what exactly am I teaching you?"

"..."

Silence, yet another silence.

Artoria remained silent for a long time, and Kira Yoshikage did not rush to urge her, but simply waited quietly for her answer.

Finally, after who knows how much time had passed.

The girl raised her head, her cherry lips parted, and she uttered the answer:

"think."

Merlin also fell into deep self-reflection. Although she and Hector taught Artoria a lot of knowledge, including swordsmanship, horsemanship, spearmanship, and the teachings of being a king, all of it was top-notch education.

While this gave Artoria martial prowess and horsemanship comparable to that of a high-ranking knight, and she was prepared and ready to become a "king" from an early age, they failed to teach her to think.

This is not to say that Artoria cannot think, but rather that she doesn't even have time to think.

Even though Yoshikage Kira didn't explicitly say it, she could still understand his implication; it was, in essence, a process of reflection. But this fragile reflection was easily exploited, plunging her into a hell of self-blame and guilt.

To discern Kira Yoshikage's sophistry is a form of thinking; to obtain answers from Kira Yoshikage's questioning is also a form of thinking.

Although the girl's logic was still immature, this was the kind of thinking that Kira Yoshikage wanted.

That's how Merlin understood it, and that's how Artoria understood it too.

however……

Yoshikage Kira was still disappointed and sighed softly:

"Then let's just say that."

Artoria looked stunned and somewhat at a loss.

If even this isn't the answer, then what is it that Yoshikage Kira wants to teach her?

-

"Artoria, what are you thinking about?"

Vivian, who was taking care of her child, asked.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Vivian."

Some of the girls who had been daydreaming finally snapped out of it and looked apologetic.

Vivian waved her hand to indicate that she didn't care, and asked curiously:

"You don't need to call me teacher anymore, just call me Vivian. So what were you thinking about just now?"

Artoria hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"I'm thinking."

"think?"

"Hmm, I'm thinking about what Kira-sensei really wants to teach me."

What do I want to teach you?

Vivian was somewhat puzzled. Did this require any thought?

"Well, at first I thought Kira-sensei was trying to tell me that I shouldn't blindly accept help from others," because even if the help is well-intentioned, it could still lead to bad results. Later I thought he was trying to teach me to think for myself, but every time I was told that, it was rejected..."

Artoria felt a little disappointed because she still remembered the look of disappointment in Yoshikage Kira's eyes and couldn't shake the feeling. So she kept thinking, trying to figure out what Yoshikage Kira really wanted to teach her.

After hearing the whole story, Vivian cautiously asked:

"Is it possible that he just meant he didn't actually teach you anything?"

"impossible!"

Artoria retorted, "Kira-sensei must have wanted to tell me something deeper. The reason he didn't tell me directly is that he wanted me to figure out the meaning behind it myself."

"Hmm~"

Vivian hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, and ultimately chose to give up.

At first, when Sir Hector wanted her to mentor Artoria, she actually refused.

Because she herself was just a little imp who had just left her hometown, she was simply not cut out to be a teacher.

However, because Yoshikage Kira showed great interest in this matter, Vivian did not refuse. Even so, she still didn't know what she could teach Artoria.

As for Yoshikage Kira, Vivian knew he was serious the moment he said he would teach Artoria gravity.

Because Fairy Eyes told her that Yoshikage Kira really wanted to teach Artoria about gravity, even though Vivian didn't understand what gravity was yet, she felt that this shouldn't include Artoria's own thoughts.

Kira Yoshikage's disappointment was probably because Artoria failed to understand the true meaning of gravity.

However, this cannot be blamed on Artoria, after all, Kira Yoshikage's teaching method is inherently very abstract! If Vivian didn't have the Fairy Eyes, she probably wouldn't be able to understand what Kira Yoshikage was trying to teach her either.

Even with her fairy eyes, Vivian found herself unable to fully comprehend the individual named Yoshikage Kira.

“Vivian…”

Artoria didn't hesitate for long, swallowing the word "teacher," but her expression remained serious:

What are we going to learn today?

She now needs to receive two extra days of instruction each week from Yoshikage Kira and Vivian, and spends the rest of her time practicing swordsmanship.

"Well……"

Vivian stammered, unsure how to answer.

Fortunately, Artoria didn't get stuck on the details.

Unfortunately, Artoria began to seek instruction from her.

Teaching her swordsmanship and horsemanship would be nothing short of humiliating.

But if Vivian were to teach her magic, she didn't think Artoria could learn it.

Unlike swordsmanship, magic requires an extremely high level of talent.

Vivian didn't believe that Artoria, who wasn't a fairy, could learn fairy magic. Even if she taught her, it would be a waste of time, and she might even be mistaken for just going through the motions.

and so……

“You will teach Meiliuqina swordsmanship.”

"Huh?"

Seeing Vivian's serious and seemingly genuine expression, Artoria was somewhat taken aback.

Shall I teach her?

The girl looked at Meiliuqina, a silver-haired girl with a face as beautiful as a fairy, who was also looking at her with a curious gaze.

"Yes, you will teach Meryuchina swordsmanship."

Vivian nodded slightly. Magic might be acceptable, but she really lacked confidence in swordsmanship.

So it's reasonable for her to find a swordsmanship teacher for Meiliuqina, right?

Vivian grasped Artoria's hand, looking at her with anticipation:

"May I?"

"It is possible, but..."

Artoria hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped. Wasn't she here to learn? Why had she ended up teaching others swordsmanship?

Vivian understood the girl's inner thoughts and hesitated, saying:

"This is part of the plan!"

Although they were not in the right, they were not assertive.

But this is the response Kira Yoshikage taught her when Vivian asked him what she should teach Artoria.

Anything can be done, as long as this sentence is added, it will make things seem reasonable, because Artoria will definitely believe it.

This is true.

When she heard Vivian's explanation, even though the girl was still a little confused, she nodded slightly:

"I understand."

Since it's part of the teaching process, even though she doesn't understand the principles yet, she will try her best to think about it!

Looking into the girl's pure and earnest eyes, Vivian looked away guiltily.

"fencing?"

Meiliuqina tilted her head. This world was full of unknowns for her, who was only two days old, so she didn't quite understand what swordsmanship was.

Artoria asked softly:

"Doesn't Melyuchina like swords?"

Mei Liuqina hesitated and shook her head:

"I do not know."

She knew what a sword was. Vivian told her that those riding horses were knights, wearing armor, helmets, carrying guns, and with swords at their waists.

However, she only knew the names of these things and could not understand their specific meanings.

Naturally, there's no question of likes or dislikes.

"Don't you know?"

For a moment, Artoria was lost in thought, then fell into deep contemplation. When she answered Kira-sensei with "I don't know," did he feel the same way she did now?

No, it should be worse than her.

She knew that Melyuchina lacked common sense.

Therefore, she had no expectations for Melyuchina's answer, and naturally, she was not disappointed.
