In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

Especially when there were so many doubts about Artorius.

As long as the sword could pierce her chest, everything would come to a perfect end.

however--

Can't do it.

[You want to pull the sword out of the scabbard, but you find that you can't do it no matter what. ]

[It's not that "stabbing the sword at Artorius" cannot happen, but even "pulling the sword from the scabbard" is not allowed. 】

[You can't break through this cognition no matter how hard you try. ]

[In addition, even if you want to try other methods to kill Artorius, there will always be various cognitive denials. ]

[You realize that the strength of her magic is probably far beyond your ability to resist magic.]

"Mr. Ian...is it...already over?"

"Have I...successfully proved that I'm not a girl?"

Artorius spoke incoherently, and it seemed that he would make a sound of defeat at any second.

"Not yet, Artorius."

Ian realized that the girl's magic was far more than the one he had just touched.

She seems to have a strong misunderstanding about her own gender.

Going against the body's feelings to achieve another kind of recognition - is this really possible?

Ian doesn't believe this - he has a more extreme method.

He pulled the reins and stopped the warhorse that had just been named.

"Artorius, let's dismount and walk."

[You dismounted the horse with the slightly tired Artorius.]

You took her to the lake.

[This is the lake you found on the way here. I didn't expect it to come in handy now.]

"Mr. Ian...what is this?"

Artorius looked at the lake in front of him, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"After riding for so long, I am more or less tired."

Ian stretched.

"Artorius, take a bath with me."

"Eh?"

Artorius' eyes widened.

“Isn’t this bad?!”

"Mr. Ian, go ahead, I'll wait for you outside!"

After saying this, Artorius blushed and wanted to run away quickly.

But how could Ian let her go so easily?

He held her hand and said:

"Artorius, don't you want to prove that you are not a girl? Now is the best opportunity."

"But Mr. Ian, this is not right!"

"Yes, if you were a girl, what I did would be very rude and shameless."

"but--"

Ian's gaze did not avoid Artorius, but instead stayed on her chest.

There are no majestic and proud curves, only gently undulating hills.

"You don't admit that, do you?"

[Artorius has been brought into a conflict by you. 】

[Her deep green eyes were already filled with confusion.]

[You feel like you may have found a way to counter this kind of magic special attack.]

【However, the result was not what you wished. 】

【Artorius made her choice.】

"I see."

Artorius did not avoid Ian's questions.

The girl's fair, soft and petite body was presented to Ian in her own way.

Artorius blushed and put his hands together behind his back in confusion.

"Mr. Ian, is it okay for me to be like this?"

"So--"

"Please be honest with me too!"

【Artorius becomes the master.】

【But it was only a moment of reversal. 】

[As a hypocritical villain, you don't mind taking off your armor in front of a young girl. ]

[You met Artorius's gaze and forcibly pushed her gaze back.]

[You took her hand and walked into the lake.]

Even though Artorius did what he asked, Ian did not acknowledge her statement.

Because although that body is not very seductive, it is impossible to deny the unique beauty of a girl.

He knew that he had to make Artorius admit this - it would also mean that the magic around her was not unbreakable.

After arriving in the lake, Ian became even more radical.

He held the hand of the girl beside him, so that she could not get too far away from him and kept in the same state as before.

His gaze remained on the other person's body without any hesitation.

of course.

Ian didn't do anything more than just touch her like this - to do otherwise would have been a complete betrayal of Morgan.

But this was enough to shock Artorius, who had never been exposed to these things before, physically and mentally.

Ian felt the time had come.

"Artorius, you should understand, right?"

"No matter how much you deny it, you can't reverse your body's instincts."

"But Mr. Ian..." Artorius' chest rose and fell, and he looked very nervous, "Although I did show many instincts that could not be hidden."

"But that doesn't mean I'm not as persistent as you."

"I--"

Artorius turned his head slightly, with a resolute look on his flushed cheeks.

“There are things that have to be done.”

“I absolutely do not admit that I am a girl.”

"So Mr. Ian—"

"Even if it's like this, it won't change my mind!"

【Artorius took the initiative to sit down.】

[After she raised her head and gasped, you finally understood what had happened.]

【Your proof failed. 】

But you also realized one thing.

【During this time apart, Artorius's cognition has undergone a huge change.】

[She neither denies her femininity, but at the same time pursues masculine fortitude.]

[And all of this is inseparable from the magician who uses the flower petals. 】

[This is extremely important information.]

48. If you can pretend it never happened

"Can you still walk?"

"Yes, it's okay."

No matter how tough your words are, they can't keep your weak legs going.

Just after showing off in front of Ian, Artorius almost fell down.

Fortunately, Ian was quick to catch her.

"Oh, Artorius, is this what you call capable? An eighty-year-old man could probably stand more steadily than you."

"..."

Artorius bowed his head.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ian, I can't walk any more."

"I know."

Ian's mind had not forgotten the sight of Artorius struggling up and down.

The long golden hair was flowing like waves.

"It would have been better if you had said it earlier."

【You picked up Artorius.】

[You hold her in your arms and walk towards the horses.]

【You and she mounted the horse together.】

To be honest, Ian now feels a strong sense of frustration.

He wanted to kill Artorius, who was so fragile, but he was unable to do so because of the overly powerful magic.

He had no interest in her barren body, but he still left something in her unremitting efforts.

He thought he could be ruthless to the opposite sex other than Morgan.

But now it seems that it is not the case.

It will be difficult to explain it to Morgan when I get back.

"Mr. Ian?"

"what happened?"

"Nothing." Artorius, who was sitting in the front, lowered his head and looked a little nervous.

"Since you haven't spoken for so long...I thought you were angry."

"Angry? Why should I be angry?"

"I... finally couldn't accept what you said, Mr. Ian." Artorius' voice was still low.

"I'm really sorry that I couldn't be the person you wanted to see."

"Whom I wish to see?"

Ian smiled bitterly.

He had no interest in making her someone he wished to see;
