"Hey! Hey! Hey! Why are you beating me? Have I done anything excessive?"

——Before the famous flower magician was grabbed by his sleeves, pressed his head and beat him violently by his colleagues who had shared weal and woe in the past, the magician himself uttered such questioning words in an extremely indignant and dissatisfied tone.

Merlin expressed strong dissatisfaction with the unfair treatment he received at this time. Even if we are not considered colleagues now, the friendship is still there.And you have to think about it, he hasn't shown his face outside for a long time, and he hasn't been able to connect with everyone, it's purely forced and helpless...

"Besides, I'm a customer, that's what you call 'master'. Even if I accidentally put my hand on the chest of a cute waiter, and accidentally failed to take it off, the principle of customer first You should also abide by it, you half-assed ones."

Appeared.

Very familiar, belonging to those memories that almost don't want to be recalled, the court magician's preaching.

Its unified feature is probably that the tone and words are very gentle at first, and it seems that what they say is very reasonable, but after listening carefully—or after being fooled and reacting temporarily, you will find that this magic trick In the process of educating them, the teacher led them into the ditch very well.

"Yeah, huh, huh, I'm speechless, I'm right, right?"

The most frightening thing is that this guy is still babbling: "Let me just use God's identity to give you some pointers. Arthur, among the four 'maids' here, except for No. [-], they are all too unacceptable Hahahaha masters will definitely have nightmares when they see Sir Gao Wen and Sir Lancelot when they go home, oops, there is only number three...I suggest adding cat ears and tail decorations..."

Everyone: "..."

Especially Gao Wenqing and Lancelot who were criticized by name: "..."

"Arthur" in his mouth: "At first, I thought that Merlin appeared here because of some important things... Throw it out, I agree."

Merlin: "Arthur?!"

"Yes, my king!"

With Artoria's affirmation, Zhu Qing naturally would not have any other thoughts.Even Lord Bedivere, who respected the court magician, just took the attitude of not doing anything, just watching, and cast a disapproving look from the sidelines.

Before the subdued Merlin could continue to refute with rhetoric, a certain minister resolutely stepped forward, angry at the rival in love who blatantly appeared in front of him, and was about to bring up his former colleague and throw him away. go out.

"——Gao Wenqing, is it really good to avenge private revenge publicly?"

Naturally, Gao Wenqing would not be shaken by this sentence that actually hit his heart hard.

His hands did not shake, and his steps were still steady, which was enough to reflect the perseverance of the knight-if the lace gloves that broke due to the force of the hand could be ignored, then it would be perfect.

"What are you talking about?" Gao Wen said, "It doesn't matter if I don't understand. Now we must follow the king's order. Please leave the 'Round Table Maid Group' and don't sneak in again."

Merlin: "Uh, um, um...Actually, I don't care if I get driven away in a very pitiful way. But, let me remind you a little bit kindly - when you people swarm over to surround me and make a black hole Before the violent acts of beating innocent guests by forces."

"The customers in the store and outside the store saw this scene. Except for the young girl who was staring at you in a daze, everyone else~ all have run away."

Gao Wenqing's hand didn't shake until then.

"By the way, all the customers who didn't pay their bills also ran away."

The face of Aggui Wenqing, who was in charge of collecting the money, suddenly changed.

"Oh, and before they left, they seemed to panicked and took away the cake that Sir Lancelot brought out from the kitchen and placed on the front desk."

Secretary Lancelot made a slip of the tongue and shouted: "Oops, try drugs for the king-oh no, add food!"

Wang, who heard the bad news, was so unbelievable that the stupid hair on his head was about to fall off!

"It's so naive. Do you think it's that simple?"

At this moment, Merlin said leisurely: "Ah, I heard... the sound of the police siren, they must be approaching us."

Everyone: "..."

The guests who escaped before actually called the police. It is conceivable how frightened they were.

so……

The knights of the round table, who are deeply loved by people with their righteous and glorious images, are still polite even in this world. What is so scary about them? !

Airlie, who had been forcibly squeezed to the outermost point when the crowd rushed forward, finally spoke up helplessly.

"The sword... when did you draw it out?"

That's right.

The moment Merlin's name appeared in the space of the maid cafe, the hands of the lords (at least most of them) had something strange that should not appear in this soft place filled with the aroma of chocolate and desserts .

It should be just a conditioned reflex, and we must believe that.

Moreover, the important reasons for this frightening visual effect are not limited to this.

The "hot maid" Gao Wenqing who has already appeared in public will not be mentioned, and the relatively normal-looking Sir Bedwell, Tristan, and Airlie can also be ignored. The most terrifying thing is that together with Wang Sir Lancelot burst out of the kitchen——

As a man with a height of 1.9 meters and very muscular body, he was also forcibly dragged into the water by Gao Wenqing, and he put on what should have been a sweet and lovely maid outfit to look like a horror movie. The second charming maid is Lancelot special secretary.

I don't know why, but no one has ordered the service of the second maid this day. Sir Lancelot seemed relieved and felt a little regretful, so he simply took a part-time job as a chef and studied dishes in the kitchen.It just happened to catch up with Merlin.

This group of big men in maid outfits whose muscles are about to tear apart the fabric and return a murder weapon appear at the same time. How can it not scare away the guests who just want to see the handsome guy?

"..."

"I'm sorry, if I knew it would cause such a result, I should keep my voice down. I didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so big when Mr. Meilin was mentioned..."

Airlie habitually looked for reasons from himself, and apologized sadly to everyone whose business had been messed up.

In fact, his voice is really not loud, that is, Heroic Spirit's ears are too sharp, and the meaning of the name Merlin is not simple.

Gawain immediately objected when he heard his words: "It's not Sir Airlie's fault."

"Yes, we can only blame us for being too excited."

"There's no way, who told Merlin to sneak in with a disguised identity, and——sexually harass the waiters in our coffee shop, that's too bad, you, Master Magician!"

"Since it has become such an irreversible situation..."

Arturia sighed, and turned her head to look at the only two "customers" who were still in the store at this time, that is, their master Nozaki Umetaro, and Airlie's master Sakura Chiyo—two high school students Where had I seen this battle before, I was already stunned.

Although Umetaro Nozaki's cartoonist instinct is still working tenaciously, the person is still, but the finger on the camera button is still clicking and clicking.

"I'm very sorry, master, Ms. Sakura, our store can only be closed for a while. The reopening time is uncertain."

High School Students: "Ah, oh, um, um..."

After finishing talking about the master, the blond girl who turned her head had regained the solemn look that a knight king should have.

And her clerks in fancy clothes, even if they still couldn't change their clothes, they switched from ordinary but interesting temporary identities to returning to the identity of knights who obeyed the king's orders.

"Then, let's put away the small talk that eased the atmosphere and start getting down to business."

King Arthur said to her teacher: "What is it that made you who disappeared for so many years choose to appear in front of us?"

Merlin has always been an unpredictable guy.

It has something to do with him not being a pure human being. This guy is usually unreliable, especially likes to play pranks and fool people, but what he really thinks in his heart-only he knows the answer to this question.

People with him need only remember one thing.

That is: at critical moments, Merlin is basically very reliable.

The Flower Magician who was imprisoned in the tower of Avalon could not come to them at this time, it must be because he wanted to attend the long-lost internal meeting of the Knights of the Round Table...

"—Chaldea?"

"—Chaldea."

Almost identical utterances belonging to different people overlap at this very moment.Moreover, the latter sentence is obviously an answer to the previous sentence in an interrogative tone.

Merlin was pushed down on the seat by the big men dressed as maids, but now the hand that was holding him was inadvertently withdrawn.The Magician of Flowers sighed that his arms, which had not been moved for many years, were so sore, and he really moved his muscles and bones a few times.

However, when he raised his head slightly and spoke again, the approaching police sirens, the extremely noisy human voices outside the shop, etc., all disappeared at this moment.

In the spacious room, only the soft voice reverberates here.

"I came to you because I had business to do. Well, the harassment someone mentioned just now—put aside the slander against me for the time being, and return to the topic first."

"Arthur."

The first thing Merlin called out was King Arthur's name, which was different from any time before, and his tone became serious.

"Gawain."

"Lancelot."

"Bedwell."

"Tristan."

"Agret."

"Not counting Arthur, are you five of the Knights of the Round Table here? Well, that's enough, that's all."

Regardless of the expression of the person whose name was called, Merlin then said indifferently: "You would not have appeared here. The first call to arrive at the Hall of Valor should have come from the last surviving place of mankind in the 21st century, Chaldea. The time for the decisive battle is approaching, and what is approaching is no longer a battle as simple as simply repairing the singularity. The last master of mankind, Fujimaru Tachika, needs the help of more heroic spirits."

"Hey, how did the accident that brought you into this world who should have been eating hot pot in Chaldea... It's too troublesome, so I won't explain it. In short! In order to help the boys and girls who save humanity , I also used a little bit of tricks, so that Fujimaru Tateka could use conventional means to summon me. As a result, before I went, I suddenly found that you were missing, so I had no choice but to come and find someone first."

"..."

it is as expected.

Although they didn't show it, the Heroic Spirits, who had already sensed it in their hearts, fell silent.

It can be seen from the way they came to this world that there was definitely a problem in the process of summoning the heroic spirit.It's too peaceful and peaceful here, making the existence of Heroic Spirit faintly seem out of place.

Just when King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table fell silent.

Merlin wasted no time.He brought up the topic again, and the target switched from his former colleagues to the only person present who did not belong to this group.

"And you, Ellie."

"……what?"

When he first heard the word "Chaldea", Airlie couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, but it wasn't obvious at all because he always looked expressionless.

But Merlin called him suddenly, which made his mind suddenly withdrawn. He was a little dazed at first, but he quickly adjusted: "Is it an accident that I was summoned? But..."

Merlin said: "No, it's normal on your side."

Some doubts appeared on Airlie's face: "What's the problem?"

"Problem? The problem is - you are summoned too frequently, and there is no room for Fujimaru Tateka of Chaldea to summon you!"

Airlie: "...Huh?"

For a moment, he couldn't understand the meaning of Merlin's words.

"Oh, I knew that if you didn't remind me, I would definitely not find out. Come on, sit down and say, you will be pushed to the back by Gao Wenqing, so that I can't see you."

Merlin, in the name of talking about business—that's what he was talking about—had openly asked Ellie to sit beside him.And when Ellie struggled for a while and actually sat down, the shameless magician, disguised as a young boy in casual clothes, put his arms around the waist of the No. [-] signature maid with a more reasonable attitude.

Staring at the angry eyes of other people who instantly became hot again (Gao Wenqing, who was clenching his fist, was about to burn), the flower magician pulled the bell hanging on Airlie's hair with his other hand, telling a story He said in a gentle tone, "Chaldea has tried to summon you many times, but because I don't have your real name, I haven't been able to."

Although almost all of the summoned heroic spirits knew Ellie's real name...

However, because of the so-called "competitiveness" and "self-esteem" that are worthless at all, it is to compete, to be lucky, to summon the possibility of Ellie without external help, The downward trend that has been visible to the naked eye has gradually decreased.

—Whether it's King So-and-so, King So-and-so, Earl So-and-so, or that stupid former King So-and-so with intensely pessimistic realism, they're all downright inferior.

Of course, Merlin, who secretly spies on all this, can't just sit idly by, like the incarnation of justice and hope, he came here, and while looking for helpers to save humanity, he also came to find a savior who could save Chaldea from the internal war.

"Fujimaru Tachika...you called me many times, didn't you?"

Ellie looked slightly stunned and murmured.

"Yes."

"Then, they who have already reached Chaldea——also called me, isn't that right?"

"Yes."

Because they couldn't call out no matter what, there was a fight, Chaldea was about to be torn down, and the culprits also fell into endless sorrow.

"...I didn't know. I didn't hear anything."

Ellie couldn't help but clenched his fingers tightly, and his nails dug into his palm faintly. Although it didn't cause any harm, there was still a deep white mark on the palm, which was enough to show how much strength he had used.

If he had been surprised when he first heard the word Chaldea from Merlin's mouth, and at the same time had some unconcealed expectations, then at this time, those expectations were all transformed into condemnation of himself, and he felt indescribably lost and guilty.

He lowered his eyelids, his pursed lips showed a tight and pale arc, and at the same time trembling slightly.

"I promised Tachika Fujimaru, as long as I hear his call, I will respond as soon as possible—"

But he really, never heard it.

Have thought about this question many times, wondering why the call from Chaldea has not been heard yet?And, why didn't even the voice of "that person" reach my ears?

It turned out that the biggest problem was with him.

Because he was constantly called by other people, he missed the voice of Fujimaru Tachika, and missed the voices of so many people.

Let Fujimaru Tachika down.

It also disappointed Ozymandias... Jill and the others.

but……

but--

"I can't hear his voice either."

Seemingly irrelevant, from the corners of Airlie's slightly parted lips, who was unconsciously looking depressed, such an even more depressed voice leaked out.

This "he" refers to the real Solomon.

The projection I saw at the Sixth Singularity——the main body left in Chaldea.

The man who is now named Romani Akiman, even though he has become human.

By virtue of the connection between him and him that directly involved the spirit base, as long as he called out his name, he could hear it no matter where he was.

……No.

It must be impossible to miss the sound without hearing it.

"..."

Here, only Merlin knew what Airlie had just said.

——That coward, he even considered the possibility of himself thinking about it day and night, and calling your name in an unconscious dream. The pitiful amount of sleep time every day is all about clenching jaw.

As long as Merlin has the slightest desire to continue watching the excitement, he will definitely not miss the opportunity to quietly and individually reveal this news to Ellie.It'd be fun to watch Caleb's out-and-out brawl and someone trying to hide their panic.

However, as he said.

Now is a "critical moment of great urgency and extremely weak hope", and no omissions can be tolerated.Romani Akiman's worst plan, as the crown magician, he neither supports nor opposes it. All he can do is to do what he can do.

Having said that, there are still some, to what extent he has not yet determined himself, but he can admit that there are indeed "emotions" in his heart.

So, Merlin here just smiled and let go of the poor bell.

He touched Ellie's head, and said in a coaxing tone to the child, "Good boy~ I can't blame you, I can only say that the luck of those who beat their chests and feet over there is too bad, and they pick them sooner or later. When you're not around, who's to blame."

Ellie didn't speak, just shook his head, shook his head.

The sadness he felt was mixed with many complicated emotions, but he couldn't distinguish them one by one.

"My dear Al."

In this low sound that seemed to be a sigh, Merlin stroked his back, hugged him, and comforted him logically.

Looking at them, Arturia's expression became complicated, she opened her mouth several times, but she didn't make a sound.

After a while, she probably still wanted to say something, but when she raised her eyes to look at Merlin again, she suddenly noticed—a certain knight who was looking at the magician.

Gawain looked straight at Merlin.

He was standing, while Merlin was sitting quite naturally, and their gazes that met in mid-air seemed to contain some kind of intense meaning.

Merlin's smile remained unchanged, he always smiled like this when he treated everyone.

However, the Sun Knight, who kept quiet and always smiled gently, had an extremely stern expression at this moment.

This is not to say that Gao Wen felt disgusted with Merlin.

No, it's just the most normal thing - the side that has to be shown when dealing with emotional competitors and never takes a step back.

"—Wait a minute, Merlin."

Artoria also sensed that something was wrong, and interrupted subconsciously.

What she mentioned is still business.

"We have no objection to rushing to Chaldea, but the contract with the current Master has not yet ended, and it is impossible to break the oath."

"Ah, it doesn't matter, then let's finish the matter here before leaving, anyway, it won't take long." Merlin replied quite simply, as if he had expected it in advance: "Hey, the young man over there—"

……

The duo of masters who have been neglected for so long finally have a chance to appear.

Nozaki Umetaro: "..."

Well, he didn't deliberately keep silent.

Leng finished posting a long time ago, the cartoonist wanted to interject as early as the very beginning when Merlin started telling the ins and outs - aren't you the god of comics who gave me the Stone of Hope mysteriously!How do you say it seems that you didn't participate in the previous relationship when you came here?

This insidious manga god must have expected that he might reveal himself, so he forced Nozaki-kun to lose his language ability until now.

"Young man, the wish you made is to meet the king and the knight with your own eyes and get inspiration from them?"

"As for the girl, your wish is too simple, it will be automatically fulfilled as soon as we leave, so it can be ignored."

"Okay, then come and realize your wish as a young man."

Merlin: "I'll take a week's leave for you. During this week's vacation, follow us to travel abroad and witness—the real King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and their demeanor."

"What are you waiting for?"

"To witness with your own eyes the demeanor of the real King Arthur and the real Knights of the Round Table—this is the chance you spend your whole life to get."
