Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

The Knights of the Round Table - these heroes who stand at the pinnacle of humanity have proved to the world that their reputation is not false.

Known as the "King's Arm," Gawain lived up to his reputation for loyalty and bravery, launching ten battles against the Picts in just one month. His relentless victories made him the most celebrated knight on the British Isles and the "Prince Charming" of countless women.

The stern and impartial Agrawen once again presided over the prison, becoming the Chief Judge of Camelot. His judgments were undeniably fair, and every verdict was verifiable. Both plaintiff and defendant were convinced and convinced.

Gareth, together with Kai, who was in charge of the palace treasury, returned to her old job - of course, not cooking the big pot, but being responsible for all the miscellaneous matters in the palace. She was the leader of all other servants and a minister of the guard who was deeply trusted by the king.

"Even Mordred has become a hero in everyone's eyes because of her outstanding performance in hunting monsters. Especially those experienced old hunters, they like to drink and eat meat with her."

This is information from Mashu.

This little girl, the only one who was not assigned a job by Altria, became an "assistant" because she volunteered - she can go to any department to help as she pleases, but Guinevere will not give any score to her work.

During this month, Mashu made rapid progress, quickly growing from a clueless newcomer to a capable worker.

The place she most often went to was the Kingdom's confidential office, where she would help Bedivere collect intelligence from various departments. She would also convey the King's orders to the lower levels and perform simple tasks such as running errands.

Occasionally, she would go to help Aguguiwen, helping him sort out the cases that had already been judged, categorizing them... Aguguiwen seemed to be preparing to revise the laws of this kingdom, making them more mature and easier to apply by the most grassroots law enforcement officers.

“Everyone is so amazing.”

For Mashu, this month was a very busy month, but also a very happy month.

She had never experienced such a fulfilling and fulfilling life.

Although this sense of accomplishment mainly comes from the guidance of the twelve top bosses - but as a participant in these great works, isn't she, a small unknown person, also proud of it?

However, just when Mashu naively thought that this wonderful life would continue until these outstanding knights could decide the true winner -

"Well, everyone's ratings are very high. It seems everyone has worked very hard this month."

"I'm so pleased that everyone is so outstanding... but this won't do. There can only be one winner, so we have to find a way to widen the gap!"

"How about this, why don't we swap jobs for another month?"

The king sitting on the throne announced the new royal decree in a negotiating tone.

The king's "conspiracy" has begun.

……

The third day after the knights swapped jobs.

Cretaceous City, the Temple of Light.

"Hey, what a rare guest—"

"Come in, come in! Why didn't you go over and do some free work today?"

Seeing Mashu loitering at the door but not coming in, Vina, who was almost sick from idleness, quickly invited her in and poured her a glass of sour juice for her to improve her health.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp—"

Mashu almost subconsciously picked up the cup with her hand, and without even smelling the taste of the juice, she put it into her mouth.

"Ah, so sour—"

The extremely sour taste exploded in Mashu's mouth, causing her to shudder and almost spit out the juice in her mouth.

But it did reawaken her spirit and made her realize where she was.

"Ah, have we ended up here without realizing it?"

"Um, Fufu, good afternoon—"

Mashu greeted the cute little white beast.

Fu Fu also stuck her head out and rubbed her cheek.

It was a soothing sight, and the cute little animal made Mashu chuckle. But the next moment, as if she had thought of something, she became negative again. She slumped over the stone table, appearing quite unmotivated.

"Hey, it's only been a few days, how come you've become like this?"

"Come on, you're only fifteen. How can you be sitting here in a daze like a thirty-something old woman like me?"

"I told you, working for free won't end well—you should at least ask that stingy Wang for some wages!"

……

Mashu had indeed lost interest in her work.

But the reason she lost interest was definitely not because she was working in vain.

It was because the work that was originally going extremely smoothly suddenly became a mess and was full of obstacles everywhere.

"The king transferred Aguguiwen to the confidential office, replacing Bedivere... I don't know why, but he messed up such a simple task. The staff in other departments have complaints about him, saying he's using chicken feathers as a token of authority."

"Bedivere was transferred to the court, but I heard things aren't going well for him either. It was clearly just a minor case, but he dragged it out for three days and still hasn't resolved it. The plaintiff and defendant have chosen to settle the case."

"Mordred went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs... I won't say anymore, it was a disaster. She almost tore down the palace!"

"Lancelot was appointed manager of the inner treasury... but I heard he spent all his savings on the second day of taking office and even owed a large sum of money. Sir Kay was so angry that he was ready to draw his sword and fight him in single combat."

Mashu listlessly reported what she had seen and heard over the past three days.

To sum it up in one sentence: In just three days, a prosperous kingdom showed signs of collapse?

"What on earth does the king want to do?"

Mashu didn't understand - everyone was doing their job well and making use of their talents, wasn't that great?

Why is there a sudden "major work adjustment"?

The Knights of the Round Table were the same. They could have just let their subordinates do things they weren't good at. Why did they just go ahead and do it anyway?

Mashu pouted, realizing for the first time the difficulties faced by workers.

However, it was at this time——

"You really don't know why?"

Not far away, Shirataki's voice suddenly rang out.

The sound was not loud, but it struck the girl's soul directly.

“If you really don’t understand, ask your heart.”

"It will tell you the answer."

Chapter 69: The Man Who Rebuked the King

“Ask the voice deep within me?”

"Are you referring to the heroic spirit that resides in my body?"

Shirataki's suggestion surprised Mashu.

She is special.

As the only "Heroic Spirit" summoned to this era as an ordinary person, a very special existence resides within her body.

Of course, Mashu also knew this.

In fact, even though she had never mentioned anything about that Heroic Spirit, the Heroic Spirit's real name had already surfaced in Mashu's mind, ready to be spoken.

She just lacked common sense in society, but she was well versed in the historical stories and myths of various countries and nations - twelve of the thirteen Knights of the Round Table were by her side, how could she not know who the remaining one was?

【Galahad】.

He stood at the seat of disaster, yet was the purest knight. He was chosen by the Holy Grail, and he personally returned the Holy Grail, and flew to the sky with his soul.

Mashu was also honored to be able to associate with such a knight.

But at the same time, Mashu was a little depressed.

"I tried to communicate with him."

"But...he didn't respond."

"Whether before or now, it's like it doesn't exist at all."

"I wish it was the guy living inside me."

Mashu stroked the fur of the little white beast with her hand - she would rather have this cute little guy living in her body.

767 At the very least, in response to her call, it would occasionally make a cute sound like "Fu Fu".

however--

"Hmm, you want to become a beast's Jinchūriki? That's an amazing idea!"

"what?"

"No, it's nothing. I mean...you should ask your inner voice."

“Not anybody else’s advice, but your own.”

"You don't have to worry about it. Just do what you think is right."

Weird conversation.

Until she left the temple, Mashu still couldn't figure out what this somewhat weird man wanted her to do.

——But, it doesn’t matter.

This was never really a suggestion, but a reminder.

A reminder that can help her "wake up" at the right time.

……

Time passed slowly in the midst of chaos.

Another week passed.

Instead of improving, affairs in the kingdom became worse.

Not only officials, but ordinary people also began to complain - those Knights of the Round Table who knew that things were wrong but still did not repent had messed up everything.

Finally, the king was alarmed

"My Lords, I believe you all know why I have called you together, right?"

In the Royal Palace, in the Round Table Hall.

This round table conference room, which used to be full of joy and at least noisy, suddenly became very quiet today.

The king sat in the main seat and looked around with a very cold look, as if he was looking at a group of people who were about to die.

The other Knights of the Round Table lowered their heads, not daring to meet the King's gaze. Only Mashu, a "half-outsider," raised her head, frowning at Altria's icy face.

"Bedivere—"

Wang suddenly raised his voice.

This made the Knight of the Round Table who had followed her for more than ten years shudder subconsciously and stand up from his seat.

"Yes, King!"

"Let me ask you, Lord Bev—why did you fine this man thirty percent less than the others?"

"Well, the king... he is a very important businessman here. In the beginning, he contributed a lot to the construction of our kingdom."

"Is this the reason you gave him a reduction in fines, which led to other merchants coming to complain?"

"..."

"Sir Lancelot, could you explain the bill for the inner treasury?"

"Well... well, I just wanted to stock up on some things... a merchant offered me a very good price... it's better to be prepared..."

"Is this why you spent all of this month's budget in two days, resulting in our food allowance being reduced by half this month?"

"..."

"Minister Ageguiwen, let me ask you, what are these officials' complaints about?"

"Wang, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. But that was because they didn't follow the pre-set plan. Even if there were mistakes, they deserved to learn a lesson."

"..."

Altria called out their names one by one.

She did not let anyone go, even a knight as completely loyal to him as Gawain was scolded by her - in this meeting room that only the Knights of the Round Table could enter, the king and the knights took off their "disguises" and showed their true selves here.
