Let's Go Home Together~
That Artoria who can eat and drink a lot, yet can do the physical labor of more than a dozen people at the same time, is actually King Arthur?
More importantly, she is still alive, and not in the way of the Holy Grail's Incarnation or a kind of self-reinvention, but truly alive.
This made him realize that Little Chaldea was truly a place where hidden talents resided.
Then, Artoria destroyed the Saber Alter older sister dwarf) in the Fuyuki City Singularity, immediately recognizing Mash as the Servant on Mash's body. Then, she dragged Galahad Gudako. Mash destroyed five Singularity, as well as many Singularity, saying that she was helping out along the way while waiting for someone to take her home. Now that the person she was waiting for had finally arrived, it also meant that the time for parting had come.
Upon seeing this, Roman sighed.
Here, he was the one who least wanted Artoria to leave. After all, Chaldea was currently Artoria's top combat power. If she left, the difficulty of Human Order Restoration would increase significantly.
But he had no reason to stop her. After all, she was going back to her own world. He had already done her a favor by helping her get this far, so how could he stop Artoria from going home?
Only--
He immediately suggested to Black Lancer Artoria that they come to Chaldea.
We can get a White Lancer Artoria or a black one, to fill the gap in combat power.
Unfortunately, Black Lancer Artoria still didn't have that idea this time.
If Chaldea summon her, she could respond, but for now, it's best to forget it; she has her own ideas.
In other words, it means—[I'm not an event Servant; you have to pull for me or spend money to get me.]
Just as Rovey was about to wrap things up perfectly and go home, suddenly, Artoria beside him grabbed his hand, frowned at him, and asked in a kind expression.
"Honey, have you forgotten something?"
At first, Rovey Wei was about to ask, "Wasn't everything resolved? Is there anything else?"
"Think again, what did you promise me?"
'What did you promise...'
But seeing Bedivere winking beside him, and Artoria's combat power surging, he immediately understood what she was referring to. Having already crossed the line and accepted each other, and with his own life at stake, he knelt on one knee entirely from the heart, or rather, truly in accordance with his conscience.
Then--
"Marry me."
The Child of God had just persuaded the Demon God King to retreat, saved the world, and defeated the Lion King, made this declaration.
However, three handprints soon appeared on his face.
The reason is simple: he spoke to three people at the same time.
Logically there should be two, but Black Lancer Artoria Alter voluntarily joined them.
"... Refuse?"
The young man, who had lost his previous air of being the Magic King, said this, admitting that his actions were indeed a bit too much of a performance art. The three slaps were entirely justified; after all, proposing to multiple people at the same time would get you punched anywhere. Even Mash and Gudako found the scene rather strange. If Agravaine hadn't been held back by Bedivere, he would definitely have rushed in and fought back.
However, the answer was no, and they all accepted the request.
Although one of them joined on their own, if you don't want to fight another boss battle at this point, it's best not to say anything.
"Let's be clear from the beginning, I have no intention of forgiving you for sharing your husband with others. Ultimately, it should be a matter of first come, first served."
"The white-haired King of Knights, Artoria with golden hair, declared this."
Ultimately, in her own world, she and Rovey were already an old married couple.
This time, she was met with this unexpected turn of events, which felt like her husband cheating on her right in front of her, yet she was helpless to do anything about it. Naturally, she was extremely unhappy.
"It doesn't matter. You and I are both Artoria, so we are the same person. Therefore, the claim of sharing is invalid."
The Black King of Knights immediately refuted her point of view. In terms of wisdom and freedom, she was still very confident after experiencing the divine realm for over a thousand years.
"You really dare to say that! You're clearly just a thief who stole the spoils of victory!!"
"There's no such thing as stealing; I just met you a little later."
"..."
"..."
Anubis: "Aren't you going to declare your dominance?"
"No, no need... This is fine, as long as I can be by your side, that's enough."
Seeing the two people, who were clearly the same person, arguing so fiercely, Nitocris reached out and touched her long white hair, gently shaking her head. Although the smile on her face looked a little silly, it reassured Anubis.
She was so foolish in life, and she's still foolish now.
But it's not so bad, after all, fools sometimes have good luck...
It wouldn't be bad for her to get away from this sad world and live in a new one.
After realizing how foolish it was to argue with himself, the Golden King of Knights turned around and said with a smile,
"Congratulations on successfully establishing your harem. That's truly something to celebrate."
Of course, it was impossible for Rovey not to see through the murderous intent contained in the words of the Golden King of Knights.
But he was helpless.
Ultimately, he only had one choice: to keep getting beaten up until he gained their forgiveness.
There's nothing we can do about it.
For him right now, the best outcome is as long as they don't object.
Only--
Judging by the number of events, it seems that many more such events will need to be held.
At that moment, Rovey had only one request in his heart.
"Don't hit me in the face."
"..."
"Protest denied!"
Requests were useless. Without the calamity, Rovey, who was in excellent health, was dragged to a corner by the two Artoria. Gudako wanted to stop them, but Roman kindly reminded her that the direction was behind the palace, so everyone except Nitocris tacitly stopped.
"—Help me!!"
Chapter 226 Let's go home together~
Strange sounds kept echoing in my ears, my brain felt like it was boiling over from the intense heat, and my body felt strange.
Rovey groggily opened his eyes to a pale space before him. He was leaning against a lush, towering tree, surrounded by an utterly unfamiliar, pale world.
"My child, be my heir—I give you everything."
In the pale space, the giant tree began to sway, followed by a deep, ethereal voice that began to echo continuously.
"Are you... a dove? No, the Holy Spirit?"
Whether it was a subconscious answer or a premonition, Rovey immediately connected the voice to its identity, and at the same time, the vague, sealed memories from before arriving at this Singularity returned.
'Hmm, what's this?!'
Rovey suddenly realized that he seemed to have been pulled into this strange space during the teleportation, and then thoroughly tormented.
"What I am is not important. You just need to understand that I am your Holy Father and also the Holy Spirit from heaven."
"I am one, and I am also the whole, that is enough."
The voice answered in the same way it had before.
"Holy Spirit, you said you would give up your throne to me?"
Rovey asked his question.
"Yes, you are qualified. I have seen your performance."
"So you were watching after all..." Rovey scratched his head. Although he had known for a long time that this guy was watching, it still felt quite strange to hear it with his own ears.
However, now is not the time to consider these things. Compared to watching, Rovey is more concerned about the successor.
"And what's the price?"
He inquired about the costs of inheriting the inheritance; there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and he needed to understand all the causes, consequences, advantages, and disadvantages.
"You will take my place and maintain everything in the world."
Rovey: "Does that mean working overtime all year round?"
"——"
This time, the voice did not answer.
"Looks like I guessed right."
The Holy Spirit does not lie to mortals, nor does the Holy Father lie to the Son, so his behavior made Rovey's heart skip a beat.
"So you mean I'll stay here forever, right? Just watching everything, observing everything, like you, an observer?"
"This world is too small; too much interference will lead to destruction," the Holy Spirit said. "Therefore, I simply watch."
"Don't you think this space is too boring?"
"I don't want to stay here."
Rovey immediately understood what this boundless blank space was: it was the foundation of creation, the canvas, and the vessel of this world.
The Holy Spirit is too vast, so He cannot go into the created world, but can only gaze upon the original canvas.
"By inheriting my position, you will no longer be restricted..."
A strange light suddenly fell, and the sound came again.
"And then there's no going back, endless overtime in your place?"
Confined beneath the giant tree, Rovey rubbed his eyes and stared intently at the polymer of light before him, whose exact appearance he could not discern.
It was a figure whose true nature could not be seen.
Even now, when Rovey saw this person, he could still clearly feel how big the gap was between them, so his expression showed some helplessness.
This is the canvas of the world, the celestial realm, the inner side of the world.
It is a region independent of the world.
The tree behind it is no ordinary tree; it is the apple tree from the Garden of Eden, the World Tree, the entity that sustains one world, and even countless worlds.
This is the celestial realm, but not Heaven.
It is a region higher than Heaven, the void of the primordial land.
No one should ever enter this place.
However, Rovey was summoned by a certain being who satisfied him, namely the radiant figure before him that evoked no hostility or malice in him.
Although it is undoubtedly an extremely honorable thing to see such a person in this world, if it were a saint like Jeanne or Saint George, they would definitely bow down in reverence upon seeing this person. However, Rovey felt that the old man in front of him was very wicked and just wanted to trick him into taking over the shift so that he could make his own way.
But--
"I will not agree to your request. I finally achieved the [Happy End] and haven't even had a chance to enjoy the good life yet. How can I continue to be a lonely person here?"
"If I agree to your request, I can indeed ascend directly to the highest position and become an absolute being similar to a [Demon God], thus altering this world. But then I'm afraid I'll find it difficult to enter the inner part of this world, right?"
Rovey responded.
If it really comes to that point, the entire world, and all the branches of the World Line, will be within his sight. His size will be so great that it will be difficult to enter. He could easily shatter the entire world by simply extending a hand, let alone return to his own world.
"You can completely recreate your ideal world, exactly the same as the one you yearn for, or learn from another person and create your own Saver by hand..."
"But that would be pointless."
Rovey's golden eyes looked unusually serious.
He said, "What I want is not a mirage, nor is it a game of life. What I love is everything that I can grasp in my own hands."
The figure formed by the convergence of light paused, then suddenly smiled.
"Foolish child... still so persistent."
"That guy was right. You are indeed a person with deep-seated obsessions, and it is difficult for you to see the truth. It seems that one test is not enough. You will have to go through more trials before you understand the result."
Even after being rejected, the light and shadow were not in a hurry, but calmly said, "However, you will eventually accept it, because this path is your choice and your destiny is your fate. Since you have become the Child of God, you must accept and fulfill it."
