Artoria Pendragon smiled and said to Artoria Caster, "Yes. I also think there are other suitable people besides me."

"Then why? What is it all for?"

"You know the reason best, don't you?" the young King Arthur replied with a smile, the riddle-like dialogue sending chills down one's spine.

After a long while, Artoria Caster awoke from her dream.

The fairy horse successfully transported everyone to the Lake District, which was formed from the bones of Albion.

It traveled alone along the path to Manchester, waiting for Fujimaru Ritsuka, Artoria Caster, and Senko Muramasa to return from Orkney.

Fujimaru Ritsuka decided that she still had to go to Manchester and have a good talk with Bagst.

I was definitely not attracted by Bagst's long, black-stockinged legs.

Artoria Caster pouted, feeling incredibly jealous that Fujimaru Ritsuka actually liked this type of person.

Seek encounters in the dungeon world.

Riveria sighed. Artoria Caster was the complete opposite of Ais.

However, Ais ultimately wanted to find her parents.

Artoria Caster had no desire to fulfill the mission she was forced to take on.

Aisha said, quite annoyed, "Then run away!!! Don't try to be some kind of prophetic child. You're so weak, don't try to fulfill that damned responsibility! No one has the right to criticize you!" Lefia shouted, hoping that Artoria Caster would follow her will.

If you don't want to fight, then don't fight. You can survive in other worlds too.

She discovered that Artoria Caster was truly pitiful.

Even Haruhime in the entertainment district is happier than Artoria Caster...

Macarios and Adele possess immense natural power, and with the assistance of the God-Slaying Alliance, plus Miyamoto Musashi, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu...

Artoria Caster persevered alone for sixteen years... Those sixteen years must have been incredibly painful.

These fairies are really going too far.

It's really too much to give Artoria Caster such a role in Paradise.

And then there's that useless Merlin who's been locked up, which really annoys Lefia. What kind of things is he teaching? They're completely useless!

Everyone in the labyrinth city of Orario has already lumped Merlin in with trash, considering him less valuable than the contributions made by the nameless fairy girl.

I really don't understand why Queen Morgan would imprison this useless Merlin.

“Damn it, I’ve realized all the problems lie with Merlin. If that guy had taken Artoria Caster away from the village of Yentajar sooner, none of this would have happened!” Welf said angrily, judging from the way the fairies of Yentajar treated Artoria Caster.

He was able to analyze that Artoria Caster had had a miserable life all these years.

It's even worse than turning yourself into the family's magic sword forging robot.

The place for studying is actually a stable?

Ringing the pilgrimage bells, saving Britain—these were the tasks that idiot gave Artoria Caster.

Welf was speechless. It was like sending a level 1 adventurer to challenge the black dragon at the end of the world.

Anyone who could do something like that must be incredibly stupid.

Even the supporters of the labyrinth city of Orario are better than Artoria.

Ya Caster is doing well...

Hephaestus frowned. "This fairy Lostbelt is a mess. King Arthur's conditions and treatment in the human world are worlds apart from Artoria Caster's. The responsibilities he bears are also different."

She thought King Arthur's mission was S difficulty, so Artoria Caster's mission would be SSSS difficulty, and impossible to complete.

Artoria Caster didn't die in Yantager only because fairies don't need to eat; otherwise, she might have starved to death long ago.

According to Hephaestus's knowledge of pan-human history, King Arthur's life at age 16 was far better than Artoria Caster's.

Bell Craney is very grateful that the villagers in his village are all very kind.

If only I hadn't met my grandfather and those kind villagers.

They encountered fairy villagers from Yantajeel... I'm probably still farming in the fields right now.

The money earned would be taken by the fairy village chief, who would also constantly put pressure on him...

Fairy Lostbelt, a parallel timeline.

Artoria Caster did not hesitate to choose to go to other worlds; she really did not want to fight or fulfill any responsibilities.

I don't want to see another storm of lies.

She embarked on the same path as Subaru Natsuki, though Rem was not by her side.

But in other worlds, it's at least better than in Yantajer.

Forging a holy sword, whether the planet is destroyed or not—these are things Artoria Caster no longer wants to think about.

"Hmm... which world should I go to?" Artoria Caster searched through the list of worlds with her finger.

The worlds of One Piece, Naruto, and Adventure in a Dungeon, as well as Ultraman, dazzled Artoria Caster.

Spy world.

Anya Fogger clung to Lloyd Fogger's arm, feeling like the luckiest child ever...

To encounter such ordinary parents in a world on the verge of war.

She was also able to attend a prestigious private school and make friends who were incredibly wealthy.

She felt sorry for Artoria Caster and King Arthur, who had to do so many things that made her unhappy.

Why would anyone want to do something that makes others happy but makes themselves miserable?

Holding a book makes me dizzy and lightheaded, let alone having to do everything perfectly like King Arthur...

Bagst's Memories.

She once consumed her lover because of her instincts. She knelt on the ground in great pain, looking at the blood on her hands and the bloodstains on the floor, crying out helplessly.

Bagst lay in bed, his face streaked with tears, sobbing as he touched the gifts his former lover had given him.

So delicious, so joyful, so delightful. So painful, so sad, so maddening.

Predation is common in the wild. Seeking others for survival, loving, and becoming one are natural behaviors.

The rules of the wild are also my pride.

"In the 'Fang Clan,' I was also endowed with an exceptionally superior Spirit Origin. Since I was born as a strong person, I have the obligation to protect and lead the weak."

"I must become stronger. To become stronger, I must devour the strong and inherit their flesh, power, genes, and abilities."

“My rule is correct: I only love—powerful things. By devouring what I love, I can acquire a more superior wildness.”

"I was born as such a being."

"In order to protect Britain, in order to protect the weak, the cycle of the strong preying on the weak continues."

Tears streamed down Bagst's face as he lay on the bed. His right hand rose unconsciously as if to grasp something, and he murmured to himself in a very weak voice.

"But, actually... actually I—"

The scene changes again.

In a bright room.

A frail human being lay on an incredibly luxurious bed.

The frail young human smiled at Bagst. "Bagest is crying again. Come here."

"You can cry, just tell me what happened today."

Is it something sad? Or something sorrowful?

"If it happens to you, talk about it while laughing. If it happens to someone else, talk about it while getting angry. Anything is fine, let me hear how you feel."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Bagst walked slowly to the man's bedside, gently took his hand, and poured out her heart.

The frail young human spoke with utmost gentleness, gazing tenderly at Bagst with loving eyes, “It’s alright. No matter how heartless things are, I won’t hate them.”

With his collapsing body and his weak voice that seemed to disappear tomorrow, he warmed and protected Bagst's crumbling heart.

He was clearly the most vulnerable being in Bagst's comprehension.

"See? It's better to talk about happy things when you're feeling down. Tell me about your favorite story of the Knights of the Round Table."

“These are drifting objects that ended up here after being replaced. Radiant, glorious, and slightly lonely, they represent the stories of brave knights you admire.”

In Bagst's eyes, the weak human lying on the bed slowly spoke.

She idolized the Knights of the Round Table—those characters in popular history books who were born with high moral character, protected the weak, and upheld justice to the very end.

Men.

The Knights of the Round Table in the British Singularity lowered their heads in shame; Tristan, stained with blood; Lancelot, covered in the blood of innocents; Gawain...

"Even though it's a story from a different world, I still yearn for it."

"Although a lowly fairy like me is not qualified."

"...he would cry and say discouraging things, but he would always smile gently."

The frail young human looked out the window at the flowers Bagst had planted for him. "Look, look at the courtyard. The flowers you planted are very beautiful. You even added a new little flower today for me since I can't walk anymore."

"Thank you, you are so kind."

"May you one day find relief from your inner pain—"

Bagst loved each lover earnestly, and each time he fantasized that he could endure it this time...

This time, this love will not lose to instinctive desires.

As a result, the black dog's instincts and the curse of King Moss still prevented Bagst from controlling his instincts.

Bagst's mind had long been on the verge of collapse; she had wanted to end it all countless times.

However—the sense of responsibility she carried made it impossible for her to end her life so easily.

To atone for his sins and repay the sin of devouring his lover.

Bagst concealed his shattered inner self and worked hard to maintain peace in Britain.

Queen Morgan looked at Bagst and said admiringly, "Truly outstanding. That's why I want to help you. You are one of the most outstanding fairies, and it's so tragic that someone as noble as you would choose to commit suicide."

"Sign a contract with me, Bagst. It's too early for you to bear the curse."

Queen Morgan bestowed upon Bagst the blessing of the fairy knight Gawain, suppressing her instinct to devour her lover.

....................

....................

Fairy Lostbelt.

Bagst looked at the forum of all realms where countless humans liked her very much, and she couldn't help but feel very surprised... Aren't they afraid of being devoured by her?

It's really strange that someone would actually beg me to devour them.

These people are really strange, looking at the world of Azure Sea... the demands they made...

Bagst couldn't help but want to go over and kill them with a single sword stroke.

She never expected that these things would be exposed by the review video...

Following that, Chopper, Ms. Tamayo, and Dr. Roman said they were trying to develop a drug to suppress their consuming instincts.

Dr. Roman told Bagstir, "Why don't you go and date Fujimaru Ritsuka? The last master in the history of humankind won't be devoured by you, so go ahead and date her without worry."

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a chill run down her spine, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

“I never imagined… Bagst would have such an experience…” Artoria Caster looked at Bagst’s true self and couldn’t help but feel great sympathy for him.

She imagined that if she were to devour Fujimaru Ritsuka, she would definitely collapse.

Bagst was able to hold on for so long... all thanks to that human man lying in the hospital bed.
