The Butterfly Gradually Began to Flap Its Wings / Worth Befriending
"..."
On the way to the unknown city enclosed by tents, Black Rabbit tells the group about the rules and Gift of the Little Garden.
Arthur was also part of the team.
Of course, this does not mean that Arthur decided to join the Black Rabbit's Community.
On the contrary, he has no intention of joining the Black Rabbit Community.
Just like his character in 693, it has been deeply rooted since he was born in the Haihe River Valley.
He disliked power and had no interest in money.
He considers himself a wanderer, utterly indifferent to the world except for his "Avalon," regarding every place he passes through and every place he stays as a temporary stopover.
Whether in the world of Gods or High School DxD, Arthur never joined or accepted any allegiance or invitation from any faction.
Similarly, I came into this world.
Arthur has no intention of joining anyone else's Community.
Joining someone else's Community or accepting their allegiance was a burden for Arthur, and it was far too troublesome for someone who would eventually leave.
Because Arthur is also a sentimental person.
Once he accepts this burden (ciba), it is difficult for him to let go, or even impossible.
But women are different.
In every world, Arthur develops feelings for women and maids who are loyal to him, to varying degrees.
He would take all of these with him to his "Avalon" before he left.
Furthermore, upon reaching the next instance, time will also stop within the "Avalon".
Except for Saber, all women's thoughts and actions would freeze.
Furthermore, aside from the longest period of time spent in the Ocean, Arthur's time in other worlds is only several months, with the exception of High School DxD.
This short period of time did not affect his relationships with the girls.
But Arthur always felt he owed them something.
They weren't collectibles after all. Every time I went back, I brought them a few "sisters"—the kind who were chatting one second and then suddenly brought over a few women claiming to be sisters.
Even though I know they won't be angry, I'm sure there's still some resentment in them.
After all, such an abrupt situation would not be pleasant for anyone with a strong personality.
After all, such an abrupt situation would not be pleasant for anyone with a strong personality.
Therefore, Arthur was always thinking about how to solve the problem of time freezing in the "Avalon".
However, this problem no longer needs to be solved.
Arthur is preparing to build his second home in the world of the Little Garden.
Yes, Arthur is preparing to establish a Community.
This was the decision he made after hearing about the game system unlocking and activating "side quests," and being given a choice between two side quests.
Side quests are different from main quests.
It is a supplementary task that can be completed or not.
This can be considered a form of assistance provided by the game system to the player.
The main quest, on the other hand, consists of tasks that players must complete to guide them on a further path.
Arthur could have easily ignored the side quest, but this one reminded him.
It's time to deal with my romantic relationship with Nami and the others.
We can't keep them all in a "Avalon"; it feels like they're just being collected.
An island will eventually grow tired, and it's time to let them go to a more vibrant place and have some fun.
And when it comes to places to play, there's naturally no better place than the "Little Garden," a game world the size of a star.
Thinking of this, Arthur suddenly glanced at Izayoi Sakamaki beside him.
This young man, who possessed both wisdom and strength, was currently looking puzzled, his face and eyes lost in thought.
He was clearly still thinking about what had happened and why he had lost to Arthur.
Actually, there's nothing special about it.
Arthur was just using a little trick.
It was simply that at the last moment, the Authority of the "Phoenix" was used.
The Ten Incarnations, through the Word of Power, are essentially accumulating energy; the time spent chanting allows the Authority to erupt to its fullest extent.
However, this does not mean that one cannot use the power of Authority without chanting.
Although it's impossible to unleash the full power all at once, it's still possible to use a portion of it.
After creating a false impression, Arthur used the Authority of the "Phoenix" and changed his gestures.
Arthur, who had become so powerful that even Izayoi Sakamaki's superhuman dynamic vision couldn't detect him...
Chapter 484 The butterfly gradually fluttered its wings
They encountered no obstacles along the way, seemingly because of Arthur.
As a result, Izayoi Sakamaki did not go to see the so-called "end of the world" as in the original story.
All the way, I wondered how Arthur had managed to make his amazing dynamic vision fail to detect any illusions in his left arm.
While pondering this, Izayoi Sakamaki her inner thoughts, also felt an immense sense of excitement.
Yes, even if it means failure and paying a price that one must pay to achieve one's goals, Izayoi Sakamaki is still incredibly excited.
Because he realized that opening that envelope and accepting the invitation to come to this world was absolutely the right thing to do.
Before even setting foot in this world, they encountered the "King of Knights," a figure whose existence was not recorded in history, whose information was only known in mythology, yet whose fame had spread throughout the world.
Moreover, the other party is no ordinary person either.
Izayoi Sakamaki had already gained some understanding of the rules of this world from Black Rabbit's words.
This is a world of games!
But just like games, no matter how perfect a game is, there are always so-called loopholes, or bugs.
The reason cheating is impossible is simply because the method of cheating is too inferior; even the will or rules of this world, or even the so-called central authority, cannot tolerate it.
That's cheating!
Advanced cheating, however, goes undetected.
For example, Izayoi Sakamaki's sharp eyesight is also a form of cheating, relying on her own advantage.
If we were to delve deeper into this, it would also constitute a form of cheating.
The "King of Knights" before him was very likely from a mythological world, or a parallel world of a mythological system, and was walking a different path from the "Arthur Pendragon" in the Celtic Mythology he had read.
That's definitely cheating!
However, his cheating method was more sophisticated than his own.
It's just that it prevents me from seeing through it!
Thinking of this, Izayoi Sakamaki became even more excited.
I found someone who's exactly my type as soon as I arrived; this world is more interesting than I imagined.
With Black Rabbit's explanations along the way, the group of five people and one cat arrived at the inner wall of the outer gate of the Little Garden, number 2105380.
There, a young boy was already waiting.
"Young Master Ren, I've brought back all my new companions."
From a distance, Black Rabbit greeted a young man dressed in a long robe that didn't match his thin frame with a grin.
"Black Rabbit, you're back! And these four are..." The boy called Young Master Ren slowly stood up, first glancing at Black Rabbit, then looking at Arthur and the other three.
"Hehe... These four, no... these three are the new companions summoned this time." Black Rabbit happily spun around in place, then pointed to Arthur and the other three behind her. She was about to say that they were all new companions summoned, but then she thought of Arthur and Izayoi Sakamaki's Gift Game. Her smile faltered slightly, and she said with some regret.
"Hey... I haven't decided to join your Community yet." However, Black Rabbit's words were met with a rebuttal from Izayoi Sakamaki. He snapped out of his reverie, put his hands behind his head, raised his chin, glanced at Arthur, and said, "I'm currently just like this knight, an idle person without any power."
"Eh... how could that be?" Izayoi Sakamaki's words dealt a heavy blow to Black Rabbit, leaving her dejected and looking at him with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "But you just helped Black Rabbit!"
"Huh? Hahaha..." Izayoi Sakamaki was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter, her face contorted with laughter as she pointed at Black Rabbit and exclaimed, "This is hilarious! So you thought I was a good guy?"
"... Isn't that right?" Black Rabbit said, confused.
·· ·······Requesting flowers·· ·······
Seeing that Black Rabbit hadn't grasped his meaning, Izayoi Sakamaki's laughter subsided, a smirk playing on his lips as he arrogantly declared, "I'm no saint, and I wasn't helping you just now."
After saying that, Izayoi Sakamaki gave Arthur a meaningful look. "If you want me to join your Community, that's not impossible!"
"The prerequisite is that you have the ability to bring this King of Knights in first, then we'll talk!"
"..."
Black Rabbit and Arthur were both taken aback by what Izayoi Sakamaki.
Black Rabbit never expected that Izayoi Sakamaki would make such a request.
Arthur, on the Instinct, sensed instinctively that he was being targeted by a troublesome problem.
Clearly, because of him, the plot has begun to deviate from the original story's intricacies.
Thinking about this, Arthur fell into deep thought.
"Um... Young Master Ren, I will definitely bring them all into the Community, don't worry!"
Seeing that Izayoi Sakamaki didn't seem to be faking it, Black Rabbit quickly turned around to comfort Jin behind her. However, Black Rabbit's aggrieved expression made Jin feel guilty instead, and he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I understand, Black Rabbit!"
"Hey... King of Knights, um~ I think it's better to call you Knight Bro." While Black Rabbit and Jin were talking, Izayoi Sakamaki suddenly moved closer to Arthur, casually putting her hand on his shoulder and smiling as she said, "I didn't think of that earlier, how about we go see the end of this world?"
Arthur glanced at the hand resting on his shoulder, then helplessly reached out to brush it away, saying, "You can call me Arthur."
"Let's go then... Arthur!" Izayoi Sakamaki gave a meaningful smile, tightened his grip on Arthur's shoulder, turned around and forcefully pulled Arthur back the way they came, stomping his foot hard.
"Boom--".
Chapter 485 Worthy of Befriending
"Boom--"
"Cough cough cough..."
With just a light step, the dust and mist exploded like a storm.
Thick dust and mist wafted out, carrying a faint, ominous scent.
A moment later, the thick fog finally dissipated.
At this point, Ren and the three women, including Black Rabbit, were already looking rather disheveled.
"Arno... Lord Izayoi, you're such a problem child," Black Rabbit muttered, sounding slightly indignant.
"Damn it, what a rude man who makes women lose all their goodwill..." Asuka Kudou covered her mouth and nose, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of anger.
Even You Kasukabe Yō, who had always been expressionless and seemed indifferent to everything, nodded in agreement with Asuka Kudou's assessment.
"Um... Black Rabbit, did they say they were going to the end of the world, to the waterfall where the 'Water God' resides?" However, Ren's focus was completely different from theirs; he looked at Black Rabbit with a worried expression and asked.
Upon hearing Ren's words, Black Rabbit's expression changed instantly, and she said anxiously, "It seems so... No, I have to go stop them!"
"Young Master Ren, why don't you show your new companion around first? I'll go and bring back Izayoi, that problem child, and Arthur." As Black Rabbit spoke, her long blue hair visibly turned pink.
His eyes no longer held the timidity they once had, but instead revealed a serious expression.
