My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether Levi had entangled Bagst or Bagst had entangled Levi.

Unfortunately, this is not a martial arts training ground, but a bedroom for people to rest. No matter how good the quality, it is still just wooden furniture and cannot withstand the amazing fighting power of the two people.

After letting out a mournful cry, the tormented bed finally gave way and collapsed.

……

"Seriously, where did Avi go?"

Wearing the green hat given to her by Bavanshi, the girl from Tintajel searched everywhere for her target, but everyone said they hadn't seen her.

If the guards at the gate hadn't told her they hadn't seen Li Wei go out, Artoria would have assumed he had gone home.

"Hello, have you seen where that handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, who is kind and polite, has gone?" The girl, whose mood was inexplicably agitated, grabbed a maid and asked her this question. The maid shook her head, indicating that she had no idea.

Her inner demonic eye told her that the maids were telling the truth; they really didn't know.

"Seriously, where did they all go?"

Artoria had never been so anxious. A strange intuition told her that something precious to her was being taken by someone else.

Pulling her hat tighter, the girl continued her search for the missing person.

……

At the same time, in an inconspicuous bedroom within the palace, the desperate battle continued.

If you can't grasp just how brutal the battle was, just look at the scene. Broken beds, shattered tables and chairs, ripped curtains, overturned cabinets, carpets soaked in blood and sweat, and sofas covered in wounds—the room was unusable, as if ravaged by wild beasts.

The two fighters, far from feeling tired during the intense battle, became even more energetic and even thought that this opponent was perfect for them, and were somewhat reluctant to part ways.

But in the end, Livy was still the victor.

No matter how intelligent a beast may be, it is still just a beast. A fairy knight who has lost his reason and acts only on instinct could never be a match for Li Wei.

With the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic providing him with an almost inexhaustible source of stamina, the young man successfully defeated Bagst, who possessed the "Survival of the Fittest" hunting ability, in this protracted battle and had the last laugh.

When the victor finally managed to find a broken stool to sit down and rest, Manchester's fierce dog had already lost consciousness and could only lie in the boy's arms, convulsing.

Whether it was the romantic flirtation between men and women or the life-or-death struggle between warriors, she lost.

Li Wei today braved tigers and crossed rivers, achieving a great victory over the enemy army.

This is a victory for humanity, and a testament to human greatness.

……

"Could there be some kind of underground room or cave in this palace that no one can detect?"

She searched almost the entire palace from top to bottom, but Artoria couldn't find her handsome young man. The only place she didn't go was Her Majesty's bedroom—the guards wouldn't let her in anyway.

Surely Avi can't go to the palace, can he? What would he be doing there? He's not the Queen's lover or gigolo, so why would they let him in?

Maybe they've already gone home, but the guards just didn't see them!

Thinking this, the girl from Tintagel turned around and prepared to go home to check on things.

It was at this moment that she bumped into another person at the corner of the corridor. Because they were both quite strong, it made a "duang~" sound.

"It hurts!"

Artoria crouched on the ground, tears welling in her eyes, while the literature girl opposite her was also badly injured, her glasses knocked off.

"Is this guy not watching where he's going?!" ×2

"And it's incredibly strong. Could it be from a demon boar or wild bear clan?" ×2

"What a rude girl! Avi would never like such an ill-mannered girl!" ×2

With his mind wandering to all sorts of random thoughts, it was the seemingly more resilient and hardy village girl, Caster, who recovered first and found the literary girl's eyes.

"Are you alright?" The girl asked with concern, handing over the glasses. "Be careful when you walk."

"Thank you, but I'd like to say the same thing to you."

After putting on her glasses, the literary-minded Vivian glanced at Artoria in front of her, momentarily lost in thought, and then said this in a nonchalant manner.

“Um…” Caster hesitated.

"what's up?"

“You’re wearing the wrong hat.” The girl from Tintagel pointed to the top hat in her hand: “This is yours; the one you’re wearing now is mine.”

It turned out that due to the collision, both of their hats flew off, and since they were almost identical in style, only the colors were different, the literature girl who was without her glasses mistakenly put the green hat firmly on her own head.

You know what, it's actually quite harmonious.

"……Excuse me."

Upon discovering the problem, Vivian immediately removed the wrongly worn green hat and firmly placed it on Artoria's head, indicating that she had absolutely no interest in it: "By the way, have you seen Levi?"

"Hey! Are you looking for Avi too?" The girl from Tintager looked at the other person in surprise, only to find that the girl from Literature also looked shocked.

They exchanged a glance and then fell silent. The previously harmonious atmosphere between the two suddenly erupted into a spark of hostility.

Chapter 22 I hereby bestow upon you the title of Earl of Glamorgan

Meanwhile, in the bedroom of the palace, Bagst, whose eyes had been unfocused, finally came to his senses, and his bestial nature was once again suppressed by his humanity.

However, after seeing the chaotic scene of the crime, the fairy knight couldn't help but think that she might as well not recover at all. It wasn't until she saw the boy standing there unharmed, gulping down water, with her own blood still remaining on the spear that pierced through the Death's Breath, that she breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, it wasn't completely unharmed; at least her back and thighs had bloody scratches that would take several hours to heal.

"Speak, what brings you here to raid me at night?"

The only chair that was still usable was given to Bagst, so the boy could only stand and ask the question.

The battle just now was so intense that he was almost unable to control himself without taking off his shirt. He felt that Bagst had suppressed a lot of his strength under normal circumstances, and was far from his true level.

Through the concept of Yin and Yang in the *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), the young man sensed the astonishing power within her body, a significant portion of which was transferred to him through their previous connection. Compared to his previous level, Li Wei's combat strength had further increased.

"Now I've really become a gigolo," the boy thought.

However, even in his normal state, Bagst's fighting power should not be underestimated. Li Wei's pelvis was aching slightly; an ordinary person would probably be dead by now.

"Sorry……"

At this moment, the fairy knight looked nothing like a steel warrior; instead, she resembled a lovesick young girl, her face flushed and her head bowed, almost burying her head in her filthy flesh (as Sanzenin Nagi put it).

"what……"

Although I tried my best not to sigh, I couldn't help it in the end.

Upon hearing such a sound, Bagst lowered his head even further, to the point that he was almost drowning in useless fat (as described by Katsura Hinagiku).

"because……"

"Because of what?"

"Because you smell better..." the fairy knight whispered.

"..." What do you mean I smell better? Are you doing some kind of cooking?

“I am a warrior of the Fang Clan, and I have been completely different from my fellow clansmen since birth.”

As if he had finally figured something out, Bagst became more open and began to talk frankly.

Yes, honesty in every sense of the word.

Then she asked this question: "Avi... I'll just call you that, do you think that's normal?"

"To be honest, it's not quite normal," Li Wei replied candidly.

He had seen many members of the Fang Clan, almost all of whom were in the form of wild beasts, with dogs being the most common. The clan chief, Grand Duke Pai Re, was said to be canine in form, but there were also other ferocious beasts such as lions. He even saw an aquatic type yesterday.

But Bagst is undoubtedly humanoid, out of place among the other clans of the Teeth.

“My mind appears normal, but it isn’t. After each battle, I experience desires, and if these desires aren’t dealt with quickly, I can easily turn into a berserker who goes mad and kills indiscriminately.”

Fairy Knight Gawain stood up, displaying his body without any hesitation: "I can deal with desires through binge eating or other means, but for some reason, after today's battle, I felt that you smelled really good, so I couldn't control myself. When I came to my senses, I was so glad to find that you were alright."

"What would happen if something happened to me?" Li Wei continued to ask, "Would it be a shattered pelvis?"

"I'll eat you, physically." The fairy knight bared her sharp teeth; she was no pushover.

"So you found me?"

"Because I feel you can control me..."

Should I be happy?

"I'm sorry, I've always admired powerful beings, but I never expected it to turn out this way."

In that case, it's fortunate that I have a strong sense of vigilance, and because my worldly desires have been eliminated by the Yin-Yang technique, I won't be eaten because I let my guard down while indulging in desires.

This situation is very similar to Saeko's, only it's more extreme and more bloody and violent.

From a certain perspective, could I be considered to be helping others?

"One last question, have you ever eaten a person before?" Li Wei asked.

“No, because I know I can’t control myself, so I almost never have any unnecessary interactions with any member of the opposite sex that might trigger my impulses,” Baggezi shook her head in denial.

"Shall we change rooms and continue?" Li Wei offered a very tempting suggestion.

"……it is good!"

After a brief silence of about 0.1 seconds, Bagst readily accepted the advice and humbly listened to suggestions.

Yes, that's very knightly.

……

It was already dark when Livy came out of the Queen's bedroom.

As expected of Bagst, who possesses the "Mighty Eater" ability, this was the most formidable opponent he had ever encountered in his life. Her ability to recover while fighting was practically a bug. After regaining consciousness, she was initially quite clumsy, but she quickly turned the tables with her superior abilities and almost killed Levi.

However, the ultimate victor was still the young man.

Both sides were very satisfied with the exchange and agreed to meet again to discuss further.

Where did you go?

As soon as he pushed open the door, he was startled to see Artoria standing in the living room, looking at him with an unhappy expression, as if he had seen his wife out partying late at night instead of coming home, which made the young man feel inexplicably guilty.

But he quickly realized that he wasn't really Guinevere, so why should he be afraid?

“I went to the commercial street, the place where we met last time.” The boy shook the bag in his hand: “I ordered a lot of alchemy materials from the general store owner, and they arrived today.”

"Oh."

The girl from Tintager didn't suspect much; in fact, she was simply annoyed.

As for why, she didn't know either; she just didn't like Li Wei leaving her sight.

Especially after seeing that literary girl with braids today, a strong sense of crisis arose, and I felt that there were not many good people in this city.

Moreover, his walking posture seemed a bit strange, as if he had been through a lot of battles, especially carrying a fairy knight who was 1.9 meters tall and weighed 120 kilograms back and forth, as if he had been through a whole day of bloody fighting.

"By the way, Her Majesty the Queen just sent someone over."

Just as the boy was making an excuse to go upstairs to do alchemy experiments, Artoria suddenly remembered something, took out an official document from the living room table and handed it to him: "His Majesty said that we will both be rewarded in three days and that we are to enter the palace."

"A reward?" Li Wei asked, somewhat puzzled.

Even if I have made a contribution this time, it would be too much to reward myself. You should know that in just one month I have gone from an ordinary person to a fairy knight who is on par with the chieftains of the major clans—although I don’t like the title.

This time it's probably a reward of land or wealth.

"Hmm, it seems they're going to grant you a piece of land called... something."

Castor was deep in thought, his ahoge (cowlick) twitching and attracting attention.

Finally, she remembered something: "Oh right, she's going to grant you the land of Glamorgan, and from now on you will be the Earl of Glamorgan!"

Chapter 23 We drink together in the golden goblet, yet the blade shows no mercy.

"Oh, that's great." Li Wei didn't seem to care much about it.

Ultimately, I will return to my original world; whether or not I have love for territory is not important.

The boy looked at the document over and over again, only to find that it contained information about himself, a map of the territory he was granted, and an official seal; there was no mention of Artoria at all.

"how about you?"
