My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

It's said that some studies have shown that if a girl smells pleasant to you, it means you're very compatible with her.

Whether this is true or not, Levi definitely thinks Bagst is absolutely amazing.

Inside the bedroom, the bed was covered with brand new bedding and sheets, and the pillows and blankets were also brand new. However, for some reason, there were two pillows on the bed, which was meant for a single person.

I picked up the pillow at random and found that one side had "yes" written on it. I flipped it over and found that the other side also had "yes" written on it.

I turned around and went to the bookshelf, intending to pick out a book at random to study, and that's how it turned out.

"Hmm... 'One Hundred Tips for Dating One Hundred People of the Opposite Sex'?"

That's quite a boast. Can a human being date a hundred girls at the same time?

I flipped through it casually, and the author's name is Rentaro. I have no idea who this person is.

But since it's been brought out, I might as well take a look.

So Li Wei simply lay down on the pillow with "yes" written on it, quietly reading books and waiting for his fate.

Chapter 45 The Incompetent Husband Artoria

At the dining table, the four people sat around a table, enjoying their meal.

"Bagust's cooking is really amazing; she'll definitely be a good wife in the future." After taking a few bites, the taste was surprisingly good.

Artoria and Gareth immediately started eating in silence, which made Levi wonder if King Arthur in his world could eat this much too.

Moreover, since the fairy knight Gawain here is a very good cook, then the Gawain on my side must also be very fresh and delicious.

"As long as you like it."

The tall female knight Xi smiled with satisfaction, and the atmosphere between the two was extremely harmonious.

The atmosphere was so harmonious that even the savior, who was busy grilling meat, noticed something was amiss and couldn't help but stop eating, looking at the two of them suspiciously.

When did their relationship become this close? Could there be something I don't know about?

"Hey Avi, your expression seems a little strange," Artoria asked, puzzled.

From the moment everyone sat down, the boy's body inexplicably stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Bagst looked strange too; his body seemed to be leaning down a bit, and you could vaguely hear shoes hitting the ground and strange scraping sounds. Both of them looked a little tense, as if they were doing something shameful under the table.

"Really? Maybe I'm a little uncomfortable from traveling for several days in a row, and I'm a bit tired."

Levi casually slipped his hand under the tablecloth, grabbed Bagst's foot which was mischievously roaming the minefield, and gently tickled the sole. The tall female knight shuddered and almost jumped up.

I must admit, it feels really nice. It's good civilization not to take off pantyhose when wearing a maid outfit at home, but that's no reason to provoke myself.

"Bagust, what role do you intend to play in our upcoming pilgrimage?"

On the one hand, it was a way to change the subject, and on the other hand, it was necessary to confirm their attitude. Li Wei posed his question to Baggezi.

Realizing they were about to get down to business, Gareth, who had been engrossed in his meal, and Castor, who was full of questions, both stopped what they were doing and looked at the two of them seriously.

Both emotionally and rationally, they did not want to be enemies with the fairy knight Gawain.

"The chosen one will complete the pilgrimage, ring the six pilgrimage bells, and ultimately defeat Her Majesty the Queen. This is the prophecy of Ethel, the patriarch of the Mirror Clan, and his words never fail."

When the conversation turned to serious matters, the female knight's expression became solemn: "Since he said so, then Artoria will definitely complete the pilgrimage, and the outcome will not change whether I organize you or not."

“Personally, I don’t want to be your enemy, but that would be a complete betrayal of a knight’s loyalty. So I plan to have a one-on-one duel. If you win, I will let you leave Manchester. If you lose, you will obediently come with me to see His Majesty.”

Didn't you lose miserably in our last one-on-one match? I completely dominated you until you were barking like a dog... Oh, I meant a proper one-on-one match.

That's a good solution. I've witnessed Bagst's battles with the strange creatures before, so I have no reason to lose to her.

"No problem, I'm ready to fight anytime."

Levi released Bagst's foot, which he had been stroking, with full confidence.

……

An hour later, outside the training ground of the secret base.

"Ah, ah."

"Ah, it really is."

"Oh—I'm so worried!"

Artoria paced back and forth outside the door, making uneasy noises as she went, looking like a frightened little wild boar.

This situation has been going on for more than half an hour.

Or rather, ever since Levi and Bagst entered the arena for their duel and, under the pretext of fearing accidental injury, locked her and Gareth outside, he had been pacing back and forth restlessly, looking extremely agitated.

"It's alright, Caster, Avi won't lose."

As if to comfort someone, the dog-girl looked confident: "Didn't Bagst say that Chief Ethel predicted that you would complete the pilgrimage? Then Avi will not lose to Lord Bagst."

“That’s not what I’m worried about!” The girl from Tintagel sighed, unsure how to explain.

"Are you worried that Avi might get hurt? He has a good relationship with Lord Bagst, so he shouldn't be in any trouble, right?"

"If the relationship isn't good, I'm not so worried."

With her mind in turmoil, Artoria felt somewhat discouraged when she saw Gareth's innocent and naive face.

She knew that Li Wei and Bagst had a good relationship, but when she saw the two of them walk into the secret room one after the other and then lock themselves out, a deep-seated intuition was screaming in her mind.

The young woman experienced once again what it was like to have an "incompetent husband".

Gareth is so much easier to deal with; he just needs to play the role of the dog, while the savior has a lot more to do.

Avi, you absolutely mustn't get hurt! I'm waiting to bring you back to the Inner Sea of ​​the Star after everything is over, so I can introduce you to everyone.

"Damn it, if only I were stronger..."

Artoria let out a sound that sounded like the wailing of a defeated dog once again.

……

Meanwhile, in a secluded room where the girls were kept out and the noise wouldn't escape, the battle between Levi and Bagst had come to an end.

"What a delightful battle, Bagge! I haven't been this happy in a long time," Levi exclaimed sincerely, clad in Celtic tight-fitting leather armor and wielding the Sword of Light.

As a fairy knight who received Morgan's award, Bagst was naturally very strong, but the boy was still superior to her.

This battle was even simpler and more brutal than the last one. The opponent was completely suppressed from beginning to end, leaving him with no chance to fight back.

"Damn it, why is it stronger than last time?"

Lying on the ground, his armor shattered, panting heavily, his hands aching, and even his weapon thrown aside, Yao Gao was somewhat incredulous.

How should I answer you? Because after connecting with you last time, I absorbed the enormous energy hidden within you. Then I connected with Aurora and Princess Fairy Orchid several times—especially Aurora, whose energy was almost destructively extracted and absorbed, increasing my combat power by more than one level.

Moreover, because Aurora had dismantled the boy's spiritual defenses, his bloodthirsty and lustful instincts became much more impulsive than before.

Previously, when sparring with Bagst, they adhered to the principle of stopping short of defeat; now, they went for whatever felt comfortable. Under this relentless barrage, Yao Gao was defeated even faster than before.

"Were you happy teasing me under the table just now?"

With a hint of displeasure, Li Wei slowly walked up to the defeated dog and pointed a finger at its lips: "A dog that dares to defy its master must be severely punished."

Upon hearing these words, Bagst's body went completely limp.

The boy lay obediently on the ground, sticking out his tongue and licking the boy's fingers.

P.S.: I've received a recommendation! During the recommendation period, I'll update three times a day. The second update will be at 1 PM, and the third update will be at the same time.

Chapter 46 Life Discussions at Night

Bagst, female, titled Fairy Knight Gawain, leader of the Fang Clan, and idol to countless young people.

Li Wei had fought her before; that time, Bagst was controlled by her own desire to devour her beloved, and wanted to eat him—in a physical sense.

This time was completely different. She was fully conscious and did not try to fight back or take over. Instead, she perfectly cooperated in eating the boy—in other words, in a different sense.

Li Wei had never experienced such a novel feeling before.

The tall, 1.9-meter-tall older sister treats you gently. No matter what you do, she will never get angry. Even if you hurt her, she will only gently bite your ear and will not get angry for no reason.

Eighteen hundred years of training sculpted a strong and powerful physique. Bagst could almost perfectly control every muscle in his body and make it contract or relax. This superb body control was far superior to that of Bavanshi, who was all talk and no action, and Melusin, whose mind was dominated by her dragon nature.

Last time, Li Wei faced the Three Red Annihilation Team; this time, he faces the Blue Card Battery Team.

Completely relinquishing the initiative and automatically taking a passive position, relying on his continuous "Mercules" to make up for the losses in battle, and trying to wear down Li Wei by prolonging the battle.

If Li Wei hadn't improved his strength through numerous battles, he might have really lost just half a month ago.

Fortunately, Bagst himself was not very experienced. Relying on his abnormal physical qualities, his ability to find the opponent's weaknesses, and his complete control of the initiative, Levi finally managed to win this victory.

It's really gratifying, gratifying and congratulatory.

……

"It's been almost two hours."

After several unsuccessful attempts to pound on the door, Castor paced back and forth, muttering, "Is the battle that intense? It's been going on for so long!"

"Don't worry, Avi will be fine," the girl with the dog-like body said confidently.

"He'll definitely be fine, what I'm worried about is..."

What are you worried about?

"that is……"

"that is?"

"Aaaaaah, Gareth, you idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot, grand idiot!"

Looking at Gareth's innocent and naive appearance, Artoria felt that whatever she said would be a defilement of this pure knight, but the words just wouldn't come out.

In the end, all I could do was tap the other person on the head: "It just won't work!"

So, the dog-girl, who inexplicably felt that she had been bullied, held her head and looked very aggrieved.

Seeing this, Li Wei tapped Artoria on the head as punishment. The energetic village girl was clearly more resilient than Gareth, and was completely unharmed.

Is this guy really a Caster? Even if someone told him that if he took off Artoria's robes, this guy would turn into a Berserker, Levi would believe it.

"Who's knocking on me... Hey, Avi, you're out?"

Upon finding the boy standing beside her, the girl from Yettantagel, ignoring the pain in her head from being knocked, carefully examined him from head to toe, left to right, until she found nothing unusual or missing any crucial parts, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"What was the result? What about Bagst?"

“Of course I won.” Levi pulled up his collar to avoid showing the scratch marks on his back from Bagger’s attack. “Bagerster was a bit tougher than last time, but I’ve made great progress. It’s impossible to defeat the Piercing Thorn Spear with just your physical body. She’s gone back to her bedroom to rest now.”

"Then let's go to Manchester..."

"Tomorrow she will open a special route for us that will take us directly to the north."

"Great!"

It's good to be simple-minded; you can always be happy, which is enviable in some ways.

This is also one of the savior's abilities. Even if he has just finished a battle and his body is feeling empty and tired, he will be infected by the joy he feels when he sees Artoria whom he is protecting. This joyful feeling makes him unable to help but smile.

In his own world, King Arthur must have been an optimistic, cheerful, understanding, and innocent character as well.

With a king like that, Lancelot still chose to betray and seduce the queen. Just how despicable is he?

I suddenly feel a little sorry for Galahad. With a father like that, if he doesn't act like a filial son and kill his own father to demonstrate righteousness and righteousness, he'll probably have a hard time living his life.

So, in the evening, Gareth happily yawned and went back to her room to rest, as going to bed early and waking up early had become a good habit of hers.

But Artoria showed no intention of leaving.

"?" Levi looked at Castor with some curiosity: "Artoria?"

"I want to sleep here tonight."

The girl from Tintajer blushed crimson and managed to say it with great difficulty, then quickly added, "Don't overthink it. I just feel very uncomfortable and want to rest by your side. That's all!"

Even if you have other intentions, I'm basically out of ammo now, so it's a little difficult.

The boy stared at Artoria, making the girl feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she was about to run away.

"Okay." In the end, Li Wei agreed.

Actually, if you calculate it, the two people have only known each other for a very short time, just over a week, yet they have already reached the point where they can entrust their backs to each other.

White hair can feel like new acquaintances, and a chance meeting can feel like old friends – that's all there is to it.
