The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"If you think this is appropriate, I'll keep it in mind."

"But now——"

Ian looked at the red dragon in the sky.

"It seems we have to find a way to make it fall without killing it."

"...Yeah." Scathach nodded, then returned to her serious look.

"I thought so too."

[That being said, the consensus you and Scathach reached wasn't as easy to achieve as you might imagine.]

[Putting everything else aside, the altitude at which this red dragon was flying alone was already a difficult matter to handle.]

[Scathach's Gae Bolg Alternative can indeed hit it in this situation.]

[But as a price, it will inevitably cause considerable damage to the red dragon.]

Is there any way to get the red dragon to the ground while protecting it as much as possible?

"Gae Bolg Alternative alone won't do it."

[Listening to Scathach's words, you suddenly had a bold idea. ]

"Intentionally miss the Gae Bolg Alternative?"

This was the first time Scathach had heard such a request.

After all, ever since she forged this weapon, she has never missed it.

"If a spear strikes to perfection, even a god can be killed."

Scathach wasn't just saying this as a joke.

It was her determination to do this that led her to realize the true meaning of using a gun.

"Scathach, can't you do something like this?"

"It's not that I can't do it." The Queen of Shadow Country frowned slightly, "I just don't know why I should do it."

"Do you...is there any way to make good use of them?"

"Well, trust me."

"..."

Although she felt that Ian's promise became less credible because of what happened to Altria, Scathach did not doubt her nominal husband.

"I see."

Hold tight.

Aim at the air next to the red dragon.

ejaculate.

Scathach fired two Gae Bolg Alternatives one after another as agreed.

That speed was comparable to that of an arrow being fired, and it was also a perfect reflection of her spear skills.

But Ian's unexpected actions also occurred at this moment.

The moment Scathach threw out the Gae Bolg Alternative, the British knight leaped forward in one leap.

His goal——

It's a gun in flight!

He wants to use them as springboards to reach the back of the red dragon!

Scathach finally understood why Ian didn't tell her.

Because she would never allow him to do such a risky thing!

After all, if he was accidentally hit by the Gae Bolg Alternative, he would have committed the evil act of hurting him once again!

But it's too late to say anything now—

Scathach could only silently recite the unique prayer words of the Shadow Kingdom in her heart, hoping that it would protect her husband and prevent him from getting into any harm.

the other side.

The moment he jumped, Ian realized he was wrong.

This is simply impossible to do.

The flying speed of the Gae Bolg Alternative was simply too fast. Even if his body had been tempered a thousand times, it was still no match for this creature.

So after just the first round trip, Ian stepped on nothing.

but--

Men are not that rigid.

It was just like when he realized that Scathach was unfathomable in bed, he immediately took measures of friction and growth, and finally took the plunge.

The moment he failed to step on the gun, Ian quickly corrected his strategy.

Since I can't walk with my gun on my shoulders—

Then grab it!

Anyway, the moment Scathach threw the gun, it was destined to fly to its destination!

Then as long as you hold on no matter what, you will definitely reach your destination!

It turned out that Ian's idea was correct this time.

However, in order to achieve this, he needed to pay a considerable price - that is, to resist the magic power of the Gae Bolg Alternative.

To be honest, this is actually equivalent to taking Scathach's Noble Phantasm head-on.

It's just a little softer than a head-on impact.

Under such circumstances, the man holding two spears at the same time was naturally in great pain.

But... I can hold on.

He had once carried that curse all the way back to Camelot from the battlefield where he had fought against Vortigern.

So this time——

It must be possible!

You did it.

[As two Gae Bolg Alternative spears pierced through the red dragon, you landed on its back with blood on your hands.]

You thought there was a long fight waiting for you, but you didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.

[The red dragon flaps its wings and looks back at you.]

[At the moment your eyes met, it seemed as if something was conveyed to each other through this sight.]

【Circle.】

【Circling.】

[The red dragon carried you back to the ground, looking incredibly docile.]

[That was something that even Scathach had never thought of.]

【but--】

There's nothing wrong with that.

[Just seeing the injury on your hand, Scathach wanted to go back to the City of Shadows with you without saying a word.]

In the Queen's room in the City of Shadows.

Scathach was lowering her head to treat Ian's bandages, her tone full of displeasure.

"Ian, what kind of lunatic are you?"

"Why would you want to wield the Gae Bolg Alternative?"

"Aren't you afraid that I might kill you by mistake?"

"..."

Ian smiled calmly.

"Of course I am."

"But there are things that I need to complete more than this fear—so even if I really feel scared, it becomes indifferent in an instant."

"Sorry for making you worry."

"..."

Scathach was speechless for a moment.

She knew he was not being stubborn - because this man had already proved this when he was on the verge of that precipice.

He is the kind of person who, as long as he knows a certain way can achieve his goal, he will do his best, even if the cost may be beyond imagination.

"Really..."

Scathach tightened the bandage in Ian's hand a little.

"It's too much for you to transfer all your worry and pain to others without permission."

"It hurts!"

"..."

Although Scathach said she disliked it, she couldn't help but give Ian some when she heard him say it hurt.

"If you know it hurts, don't do it."

"No, we have to do it this time." Ian's eyes were serious and determined.

"Scathach, isn't that red dragon a creature originally found in the Shadow Kingdom?"

"..."

Scathach nodded.

"Yes—at least I have never seen it appear, otherwise I wouldn't be so anxious to show you then."

"..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen of Shadow Kingdom suddenly realized something.

"Wait a moment."

"Ian, you're not thinking that this red dragon is the later Altria, are you?"

"So that's why you asked me if the Shadow Kingdom has a concept of time—my kingdom, before her?"

"That possibility, I can't confirm yet."

Ian responded to Scathach's doubts.

"only--"

"Just now, when I looked into its eyes, I suddenly had a strange feeling."

"Strange feeling?"

Scathach grabbed Ian's arm.

"What's that strange feeling?"

"Tell me quickly."

"I don't know how to describe it—" Ian looked at the red dragon resting outside, "but it was a feeling that made me sure that what I did was right."

"To be more precise, perhaps it would be better to call it sound."

"It seemed like it was trying to get me to do this."

"This……"

Now even Scathach was a little confused.

Having lived for so long, she witnessed two strange things at once today.
