"Thank you, thank you for your understanding!"

"..."

Looking at the other person's appearance, Mordred was a little confused for a moment.

She had thought the situation would be a terrible drama in which her father betrayed her mother for his own selfish desires.

But in fact, he agreed to all this in order to give Matthew the "sense of need" and "sense of recognition" that he needed to survive.

She couldn't blame him too much.

Because she knows how important they are.

He is still the great and glorious father in my heart.

Everything he did was indeed cheating, but it was excusable.

What should I do?

Just when Mordred was at a loss what to do, Matthew suddenly spoke again:

"correct!"

"Senior also taught me this!"

"You learned this?"

"Ok!"

Mashu stretched out her hand and said as if she was praying:

"Please, please come to me again!"

As the pink-haired girl spoke these words that sounded like a magical girl's transformation, a thick layer of armor appeared on her body.

A huge round shield appeared in her hand, looking solid and heavy.

"Mordred, look!" Mash said with a smile.

"..."

Mordred was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

"Mashu, is this your Noble Phantasm?!"

It's not like the kid hadn't seen Mashu holding it before, but he simply thought it was some special defensive equipment made by Chaldea.

"Yes." Mashu nodded.

"When I was at Singularity F... I worked with Ritsuka and successfully deployed this Noble Phantasm."

"Looking back now, it was probably because of my desire to protect my senior that I succeeded!"

"..."

Mordred frowned slightly.

"That's a good thing."

"But what are you going to do with it now? Are you trying to knock me down?"

"No, no, no!" Mashu quickly denied this statement.

"I just want to prove something to you."

"Prove something?"

"Yes!" Mashu nodded firmly.

"I want to prove to you... that I can grow by staying with my senior. He is very important to me."

"so--"

The pink-haired girl looked at Mordred, her eyes full of sincerity.

"Can you give me a chance to date your Master?"

"..."

Mordred knew that Matthew was very timid.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so frightened by the noise just now that she fell to the ground.

but--

But she is so brave when facing her feelings towards her father.

The room fell into deathly silence.

After a long time, Mordred gave his answer:

"I don't want to give it."

Mashu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"but--"

"I'll let you try after all."

"Eh?!" Mash looked up.

"Don't look at me with such gratitude." Mordred turned his head away, "I just don't want my Master to be sad."

"And don't blame me for not warning you."

"If you plan to date my Master——"

"One day in the future, a very powerful person will come to take care of you!"

"This……"

Mashu hesitated for a moment, then gripped her shield again and spoke seriously.

"As long as I can stay by my senior's side, I'm not afraid of anything!"

Mordred sighed—she gave in.

After all, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed lonely for your father to be so alone.

What's more... this is no longer a matter of secret love, right?

"I hope you'll keep your word, Mashu."

"correct--"

The naughty boy's eyes fell on Mashu's shield.

"By the way, why does your shield look familiar? I think I've seen it somewhere before."

“Really… I don’t even know its name.”

"Eh?! You didn't know that?"

The storm was resolved because of Mashu's honesty.

Mordred acquiesced in her relationship with his father - although he would occasionally wonder if this counted as finding himself a stepmother.

never mind!

Don’t think about it so much!

Time passed quickly, and soon the day of departure came.

According to the plan, Chaldea will send a four-member team to one of the seven singularities discovered after rescanning the Earth.

They are:

Fujimaru Ritsuka and his Servant Mash Kyrielight;

Ian Pendragon and his servant Mordred.

There was no lively farewell, only silent gazes.

This is a journey of life and death, and no one can say for sure whether they can come back.

In silence, the four entered the repaired spirit particle transfer basket.

This is a tragic operation to retrieve the Holy Grail, correct the singularity, and thus repair pan-human history.

but--

The moment he completely entered the basket, Ian heard a familiar voice that had not appeared for a long time.

In a house somewhere in the village.

A little boy stood with his hands on his hips, and spoke to the blonde girl with blue eyes in an imperative tone:

"Jeanne, you have to read today no matter what!"

"If you keep going like this... you'll become a country girl who can't read a single word!"

"But……"

Jeanne lowered her head after being scolded, put her hands behind her back, and drew circles lightly on the ground with her toes.

"Brother Pierre, I can't concentrate on reading right now."

"Those books are so boring... I feel sleepy after just a glance!"

"That's because all you want to do is go out and have fun!"

Ian immediately saw through Joan of Arc's little thoughts.

"If I'm not mistaken, you still have a slingshot in your hand right now, right?"

"It was actually discovered!"

Jeanne looked up with a surprised expression.

"How did you know?"

"Because I'm your brother." Ian glared at Jeanne unhappily. "Don't I know what you're thinking?"
