Meili looked at the road ahead and spoke softly.

"I want to hold hands with Mr. Avalon—that's all."

"Of course, it's okay not to hold hands. It's your freedom."

"..."

After Mary said this, Ian noticed that a small gap had tacitly appeared between him and her.

The man knew what was going on - although no one could see through his and Mary's disguise, it didn't mean that he wouldn't feel sad in his heart.

If I were to see Altria and Morgan... I would inevitably subconsciously "distance myself" from Meli who was beside me.

Rather than doing it later, it is better to give up the idea from the beginning.

only--

Hearing Mary say this, Ian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart for some reason.

correct.

Isn't this the same rhetoric that Altria said back then?

He said that he didn't care, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil.

No.

It’s easier to say if you don’t know.

Once I realized that this was the case, I couldn't ignore it.

It's impossible to see such a beautiful girl so sad and remain indifferent.

"I understand."

Ian took the initiative to hold Mary's hand.

"Ms. Avalon, if you wish—"

"Then why not?"

Having said this, the man held Mary's hand tightly, as if holding a regret that he could never make up for.

But the next moment, this resolute courage became a slap in the face.

After the man held her hand, Meili said something that stunned the man:

"Speaking of which-"

"After holding hands like this, shouldn't we start thinking about having children?"

"I remember...that's how Mordred came about, right?"

"Huh?" The man was stunned.

"Isn't it?"

"Yes...really?"

"Yes."

"no!"

Ugh.

Ian sighed helplessly, but soon became happy again.

Being able to be completely loyal to my own desires like this, just like usual—

It’s really... a good choice.

【You and Mary are walking aimlessly on the street.】

【You¥%*&……&】

You are all surprised by Camelot's current state, as if it had never been like this before.

You are searching for something—but you don't know what it is.

Listening to the seemingly plausible hints in his ears, Ian couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Ms. Avalon."

"Since the premise of our coming here is to not be recognized by this world—then how did this so-called hint appear?"

"It... is still telling me things non-stop."

however.

Faced with Ian's question, Mary still shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Avalon."

"I can't answer your question. After all, I've never seen magic like this before."

"I can sense... that it was created by a being beyond our imagination. This alone is beyond my comprehension."

"But if you insist on me giving an answer."

"Perhaps... it's trying to justify our existence."

"Justify our existence?"

"Yes." Mary nodded.

"Just as everything is predetermined—if we want to maintain this outcome, we have to find a way to explain away factors that didn't exist originally."

"what do you mean……"

Ian looked at the palm of his hand.

"This 'simulated magic' is trying to explain our origins?"

"Yeah..." Mary nodded again.

Only this time, she was clearly hesitant—she looked unsure.

"Perhaps that's the case."

"..."

"..."

The chat ended in an instant.

Because whether it was Ian or Mary, they probably understood that any discussion at this moment was meaningless.

In a sense, it's a waste of time.

Not to mention, Ian was still thinking about the advice Mary had given him earlier.

but--

This embarrassment did not last long.

Because after the rain, Camelot soon became noisy again.

And it became lively in an instant.

"..."

"..."

Ian and Mellie looked at each other and quickly confirmed that neither of them understood what was going on.

"Ms. Avalon..."

"Mr. Avalon..."

"Go and see?"

"Ah."

Simple communication gets the most effective action.

Ian, who became Mr. Avalon, took the hand of Ms. Avalon and headed towards the bustling place.

【You and Meili walk on the street after the rain. 】

You have come to the front of the crowd.

You must find out what happened.

Listening to the familiar and clear sentences, Ian no longer had the desire to understand.

Because everything is now in front of me.

“This is…what happened?”

Meili looked at the crowd around her and couldn't help but ask this question.

"It seems like... everyone is very excited."

"came back."

Ian said this out of the blue.

"came back?"

"Yeah." The man nodded, "Lily...she's back."

"..."

Just as the man said, the reason why so many people took to the streets after the rain was not because of a miracle.

But -

The king that this country, and even the entire continent of Britain needed most, Artoria Pendragon, returned to Camelot.

After killing the white dragon, she finally returned here.

"I see."

Meili nodded thoughtfully.

"If it's her, then it makes sense—after all, she is indeed the one chosen by fate, and she deserves this kind of treatment."

"You sound quite proud."

"Because I've done something similar." Meili said calmly, "But that's not the point."

"Mr. Avalon, it looks like you want to see her, right?"

"..."

Ian's eyes were filled with ripples at that moment.

Then, he nodded without hesitation.

"Of course I want to see you—but if I do that, there will definitely be some bad consequences, right?"

"If that's the case... forget it. Lily definitely wouldn't want me to do that."

"That wouldn't be the case."

Mellie took Ian's hand.

"If it's just a glance... I don't think there should be too many problems - after all, if it's just a distant gaze like this, it's unlikely to be discovered."

"..."

Mary's words made Ian hesitate.

And seeing a flower magician like him, he quickly added another sentence.

"So can you really let go of this opportunity to see her again?"

"Maybe... the next meeting won't be so simple."

"..."

The man's pupils dilated slightly.

But in the end, he was reluctant to give up such an opportunity.

"I see—Ms. Avalon, can you help me with this?"

"I told you, I'm here anytime you need my help."
