The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

[When you plan to leave here the next day——]

【The fairy in the lake came to you on her own initiative. 】

677. Mordred's "Birth"? / The Truth About Guinevere's Body (4k)

This was the first time Ian was approached alone by the Ladies of the Lake.

He couldn't help but have more thoughts about this in his mind.

Is it because of Morgan?

Very likely.

After all, unlike Altria who obtained the holy sword, Morgan was actually born from the holy lake.

If the nymphs of the lake wanted to say something for her, it would not be impossible.

but--

Even if they really wanted to say something, Ian would not object.

What is done is done.

He will not evade responsibility, nor will he escape reality.

"oh, I understand now."

"So--"

"Where shall we talk?"

"Let's go a little further away..." said the fairies in the lake, as if they had guided Ian's destiny.

[As agreed, you told Altria and Guinevere that you had something to discuss with the Lady of the Lake.]

[It's pretty much what you expected.]

[Altria didn't express any opinion about this - she was still as considerate as ever, as if she never had any complaints.]

Seeing that her friend didn't mind at all, Guinevere couldn't say anything more even if she had any objections.

【that's all. 】

【You have the opportunity to talk to the fairies in the lake.】

You have a vague feeling that you might know something you never imagined before.

The warm wind still echoes on the shores of the holy lake.

But Ian didn't have the mind to feel this heartwarming breeze at the moment.

He looked at the group of lake fairies in front of him and couldn't help but become alert.

"I've been gone for a long time—everyone, isn't it time to tell me what you want to say?"

"I thought you would keep going with us."

"It seems that you are not without opinions."

The leading fairy of the lake turned around and looked at the knight Ian who was looking at her.

"There's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to know first?"

"..."

Hearing this, Ian's heart skipped a beat.

The good news is not so bad. If the fairies in the lake can be happy even with such a simple wedding, then there must be countless things that make them happy.

The bad news is different...

Even the protector of the holy sword can feel that this is a "bad" existence, so it must not be that simple.

"I need to listen first." The man finally replied.

"oh, I understand now."

The leading fairy of the lake nodded and then stretched out her hand.

The next moment, two beams of light brought the Sword of Promised Victory (Excalibur) and the Sword of Rotating Victory (Excalibur Galatine), which had originally disappeared into the lake, back into her hands.

"This……"

Looking at the two glowing swords, Ian suddenly understood why they had brought him so far away.

If Artoria saw such a light, she might think that she was going to find the fairy in the lake to retrieve the sword.

"So, you want to..."

The man frowned slightly, looking at the two weapons in confusion, which had just been returned but taken out again not long after.

“They resonated.”

The Lady of the Lake said this succinctly.

"resonance?"

Ian hesitated for a moment, and only spoke again after confirming that he had heard correctly.

"What does it mean?"

"To put it simply—" The Lady of the Lake crossed the Sword of Excalibur Galatine and the Sword of Excalibur.

"These two swords, one symbolizing the sun and the other the moon, shouldn't have any connection."

"But because of you and Altria, they have an intersection that didn't exist before."

"This……"

The man focused his gaze on the intersection of the swords, and then he really saw a radiance between sunlight and moonlight.

"So what does it represent?"

"Day, merged with night?"

"No," the Lady of the Lake shook her head. "There is no such thing as that. Day is day, and night is night."

"If such rules are violated, the rules of the world will also fall into chaos, but now it is obvious that this is not the case."

"That……"

Ian fell into deep thought again.

He could feel that the fairy in the lake was guiding him to think about certain things, intentionally or unintentionally.

She must be trying to come up with something to say herself.

Sunlight and moonlight intertwined...

Wait!

Ian suddenly realized something.

He looked at the Fairy of the Lake in front of him, paused, and then continued;

"You mean... you don't mean the child of Altria and me, do you?"

"You are indeed much smarter than I thought." The leading nymph smiled approvingly. "No wonder Altria was willing to use herself as collateral to lend you the Sword of Excalibur Galatine."

"Yes, this intersection is the child of you and Altria."

"..."

[The matter is actually very easy to understand.]

If Excalibur represents moonlight, then Altria, who possesses it, has become a part of that moonlight in a sense.

[Correspondingly, you who hold the Sword of Rotating Victory (Excalibur Galatine) can also be considered "Sunlight."]

【So--】

[The interweaving of "moonlight" and "sunlight" naturally refers to the physical intimacy between you and Altria.]

【in other words……】

【It means pregnancy.】

If I think about it further——

[This is likely related to the "blessing" mentioned by the Fairy of the Lake earlier!]

"you……"

Ian suddenly realized what was going on and looked at the fairies in the lake, his tone becoming more certain.

"Have you actually known about this child for a long time?"

After all, both Excalibur Galatine and Excalibur Galatine are related to the Ladies of the Lake.

Then when I was united with Altria, I thought...

"You can't say you knew it a long time ago."

The leading lady of the lake answered Ian's question.

"We just have a feeling - the real situation will only be known after you return."

"But anyway..."

The Lady of the Lake extended her hand toward Ian.

"Congratulations, you have brought new hope to the land of Britain."

"..."

Looking at the hand reaching out to him, Ian hesitated for a moment, but finally shook it.

"Well, thank you for your appreciation."

"But if I may—could you tell me one thing?"

"what's up?"

"What is your blessing for my child with her?"

Ian asked directly.

Since these fairies in the lake knew about the existence of such a child, then the blessings must have been prepared long ago, right?

Then... there's no need to keep it hidden.

The fairies in the lake did not hesitate and answered directly.

"It's a name."

"We will prepare a name for the child for you and her - Mordred Pendragon."

"This……"

Ian was a little surprised.

He had imagined many things about the blessing from the fairy in the lake, but he never expected the answer to be so simple.

"Isn't this not good?"

"This kind of thing should be left to Altria to decide for herself - this is her most precious child."

"Since we said so, we naturally have our own plans."

The Lady of the Lake smiled slightly, as if she had just said something like what she had eaten for breakfast.

"Do not worry."

"She definitely won't hate this name."

"..."

The Lady of the Lake's promise is still valuable.

At least Ian felt that he could still trust these elves who generously lent him two swords.

"Then may I ask again - what effect will such a blessing have on that child?"

"Um……"

The fairy in the lake looked at the man in front of her, as if thinking about how to explain this problem clearly.
