Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

Arthur is gone; there is no one left here.

Shirou immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

She...can she see me?

No, he was just talking to himself, wasn't he?

I was merely browsing through Lady Avalon's past in a dream; there's absolutely no reason why someone from her memories could see it...

Morgan turned gracefully this way.

Their eyes met.

Even with his face covered by a black veil, he could feel her gazing intently at him.

Shirou: "…………"

This dream is a "past vision" realized based on the power of the Holy Grail.

Since Shirou can observe this past from different timelines, it is also possible that someone existing on this timeline can observe Shirou through the void phase.

For example, that person is definitely capable of doing it.

Lady Avalon—the flower magician (Merlin) with the highest level of clairvoyance—must have noticed Shirou's presence.

She knew perfectly well that Shirou had been following her, but she chose to completely ignore him.

The reason is simple: that person has absolutely no interest in him.

At this moment, the only one who can remain in the dreamlike eyes of the Flower Magician is her "Arthur".

However, the fairy queen Morgan took the initiative to speak to Shirou.

Why is that?

Shirou took a deep breath and then answered her question: "You didn't do it, did you?"

"By the time you arrive, everyone in this city will probably be dead."

"correct answer."

Fairy Princess nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, not only Shirou, but also Arthur had a vague feeling that Fairy Queen was not the culprit behind the tragedy in the city, which is why he left silently.

But if Fairy Queen didn't take action against this city, then what was her purpose in showing up here today?

"—A question."

"Morgan" murmured in a gentle yet playful voice.

"What is the purpose of Fairy Queen Morgan appearing here today?"

"Hey?"

Shirou was at a loss for words, while on the other side, Fairy Queen had already begun counting.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

"—Uh, wait a minute."

"Unequal. Three, two, one, zero."

The witch mercilessly counted down the entire countdown.

"Now, let's reveal the answer."

Fairy Queen stared intently into Shirou's eyes and said softly.

"I'm here today solely to wait for someone."

Shirou had his answer and asked in return, "The person you're waiting for... is it me?"

"Ah."

Morgan nodded slightly, then gave a captivating smile: "Long time no see, my brother from the future."

Volume 1, Chapter 70: The Witch Who Never Disappears

"Long time no see, my younger brother from the future."

Fairy Queen Morgan pinched her delicate chin with her slender fingers: "No, shouldn't we say it's our first meeting?"

……younger brother?

The fairy princess's affectionate address confused Shirou.

Morgan's brother, isn't that King Arthur?

Although Shirou calls himself Arthur, it's just "I think I am Arthur".

Fairy Knight Arthur is essentially a fake (Faker); he is not the King of Knights.

I remembered the red-haired knight I had just met.

Ok.

Even if we take a step back and assume that there is a King Arthur in some world who looks exactly like me, his sister has nothing to do with me, right?

Shirou instinctively asked, "...Do you know me?"

Seeing the red-haired boy frown, Fairy Princess couldn't help but laugh.

What do you think? Should I get to know you, or should I not?

Her ambiguous tone was full of teasing and mockery, coupled with the alluring smile that was faintly visible behind the black veil. Any man who saw her would blush and his heart would race.

Shirou gasped.

Fairy Queen Morgan... just as rumored, is a wanton witch skilled at seducing the opposite sex and manipulating people's hearts.

If I didn't know her background, I would definitely be completely infatuated with her.

She was lying when she called me "brother" just now; she did it to lower my guard.

"I do not know you."

Under the expectant gaze of the Fairy Princess, Shirou asserted.

“I think you must be mistaken. You may think I look a lot like your brother, but I am not Arthur, and I do not know you.”

The Fairy Princess said quietly, "Since you don't know me, why are you making such a desperate face?"

Shirou said unhappily, "What do you mean... huh?"

Upon hearing the witch's words, the boy realized that he had been frantically searching his memories since just now.

Even though it was a fairy's lie and a witch's deception that could be laughed off, Shirou thought about it very hard and seriously.

Just as she said, there would be no need to go to such lengths if one did not subconsciously agree with her words.

However, even though Shirou desperately searched his brain, he couldn't find any trace of the witch in front of him, let alone any memories of being the King of Knights.

"Are you..."

Just as Shirou was deep in thought, the crisp sound of high heels rang out.

Morgan walked straight down the high steps.

"Wait...don't come any closer...!"

Shirou took a half step back.

My head started hurting for no reason.

Fairy Princess showed no sign of stopping, and walked step by step toward the red-haired boy.

As they drew closer, the fairy princess's figure became clearer in Shirou's vision.

Beautiful silver hair flowing to the ground like moonlight, a sexy body wrapped in black lace that is extremely seductive, and skin exposed to the air that is white and translucent.

Round, long thighs, and hips that sway from side to side.

A slender waist that could be encircled by one hand, and a full and proud bosom.

Following his gaze upwards along her exquisitely beautiful neck, Shirou vaguely saw—

The blonde girl smiled sweetly: "Shirou."

"…………ah?"

The beauty of the fairy queen Morgan overlapped with the face of the witch in Shirou's heart.

"!!"

A feeling of nausea surged through the boy's chest.

A strong sense of self-loathing overwhelmed him.

Shirou was furious: Stop joking...!

I can't believe my impression of her... overlaps with that of the woman in front of me!?

This is something that should absolutely not be done; it shouldn't even be considered.

Shirou couldn't easily forgive himself, but then the witch's alluring laughter rang out again.

"See, you did remember me, huh?"

"…………wrong."

Shirou shouted as if emphasizing himself, "You're not Morgan! I don't know you!"

"How could that be? No matter how much you deny it, you can't deceive your own heart."

As the Fairy Princess descended the escalator, she spoke in a calm, languid tone.

"Arthur, my brother..."

From the day you came into this world, our destinies have been intertwined forever.

Whether it's when you're sent out of the palace or when you draw the chosen sword.

This has been true in the past, and it will be true in the future.

Whether we are on the same side or eventually become mortal enemies.

Nothing can separate us, not even death.

Even if one day in the future you are no longer in "this side of Britain"—

I will also stay by your side in "another form."

"...!"

The fairy princess's words made Shirou stare wide-eyed in disbelief.

To the boy, the words clearly meant that she knew about "another Britain".

"You must be confused, Arthur."

But there's no need to feel pain; just accept it with peace of mind, and one day you will know the whole truth.

Until then, I will stay with you.

Even if you wander to the very end of cause and effect, I will haunt you relentlessly.

"What the hell are you talking about... This is the first time we've met!"

Shirou no longer wanted to hear the seductive voice of the Fairy Queen manipulating people's hearts.

He tried desperately to reject the existence of the Fairy Consort, but to little avail.

It was as if, deep within his heart, Shirou believed her words without a doubt.

Fairy Queen walked up to Shirou.

At this distance, her face could be clearly seen through the black veil.

Morgan, known as the "Fairy Queen," opened her arms, intending to hug her troubled younger brother and comfort him.

But just before her arms were about to touch the boy's back—
