Tiamat, I'm going to find a girlfriend!

"The Strange Knight—"

"The king is over there."

"You should be by her side."

"..."

Ian didn't answer, but instead moved closer.

Morgan wasn't as familiar with him as Artoria was, and naturally, he was at a loss in the face of this situation.

"What are you going to do?"

"Your scent suddenly smells wonderful—"

Ian gave his own answer.

It may sound a bit nonsensical, but it is.

"Do I smell good?"

This was the first time Morgan had heard such a comment.

However, she quickly realized that this was not a compliment.

Because Ian's next sentence was:

Just like my mother.

"..."

Morgan felt attacked when he recalled Tiamat's paranoid behavior.

Isn't that admitting that you're a paranoid person too?!

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

Even so, she was also curious about what exactly happened yesterday.

tentatively……

Accept this reason, shall we?

"is it?"

"Then your mother must be very important to you—"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have said you were staying by my side."

"Yes, it is indeed very important."

Ian nodded.

Although he has effectively left his mother Tiamat's side, it doesn't mean he has no feelings for her.

"I see."

"Then... I'll come along for now."

Morgan naturally took over Ian, Artoria's knight, and then began his investigation.

However, Morgan already had a general idea of ​​what was going on before that.

Land cannot become barren without a reason;

Rivers cannot suddenly reduce their yield.

Ultimately, the underlying reason is the decline of Britain's environment.

This is just... the tip of the glacier.

That's why it's even less likely that it will be handed over to Artoria.

She couldn't stop any of this.

Morgan's fingers traced the earth, his brow furrowed with worry for the land.

But at this very moment—

She felt an itchy sensation on her neck.

"This smells the best."

"Eh!"

Morgan realized what was happening.

While Ian was lost in thought, he silently approached him!

"Insolence! This is too much..."

Morgan was about to speak when Ian covered her mouth.

The latter quickly continued:

"Just for a moment."

"Please, don't move around."

Morgan, of course, was not going to just listen to Ian.

But she soon discovered that the other person's physical abilities far exceeded her expectations.

Trying to break free from his grasp was simply impossible!

The boy leaned forward and sniffed Morgan's neck for a while.

Finally, he even took a bite, as if to confirm something.

"Just as I expected."

"It tastes like my mother's."

"..."

Morgan quickly realized that it was Tiamat's creation that had misled Ian.

only……

Isn't the way this guy confirmed it a little outrageous?

Are you just going to come over and smell it like that?

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem so unexpected.

After all, being a mother is already a suffocating experience in itself.

Having a son like that is not surprising at all.

And if we really want to get to the bottom of it—

Is this an opportunity?

Sensing Ian's slightly reckless breathing, Morgan suppressed his other emotions.

“Ian, in that case, may I ask you a question?”

"question?"

Sensing the aura emanating from Morgan that was so similar to his mother's, Ian naturally didn't resist her words much.

"what is the problem?"

"that is--"

Morgan leaned close to Ian's ear and asked softly.

"What exactly did you do last night?"

"did nothing."

Ian answered that way, then seemed to remember something.

"Perhaps it should be said that some things have changed."

"Something was changed?"

“Hmm.” Ian nodded.

"I kissed her, and she kissed me back, so we're even, and nothing happened."

The boy spoke casually.

Morgan, however, felt his head buzzing.

They've already kissed twice?

Is it progressing this fast?

A bold plan quietly took shape in Morgan's mind.

In order to make Artoria a true enemy of Tiamat—

Necessary sacrifices are acceptable.

Morgan turned around.

"You just said you really like my scent, right?"

"Ah."

"Then, as long as you do one thing, I'll let you get closer."

Morgan subtly seduced Ian.

The boy was clearly concerned about these conditions.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Confess to Artoria."

Morgan said, word by word.

======

Three updates today

31. Come, let me teach you how to confess your love (please read on) (1/4)

Everything suddenly became simple.

Morgan was originally thinking about how to make Ian and Artoria's relationship stand out.

Now it seems there's no need to think about that much.

These two have probably already been together for a long time, in some corner that I can't see.

That saves a lot of trouble.

"Confession——"

Ian stopped pestering Morgan and started taking the issue very seriously.

"What's that for?"

"Why would I do that?"

"..."

After confirming several times, Morgan was certain that Ian was not joking with him.

After thinking for a moment, she answered.

"This is a way to let the other person know that you care about her."

"Your situation with Artoria is just right."

"I see."

"But--"

"I don't know how to confess my feelings."

Ian looked directly into Morgan's eyes.
