Now That's a King Who Understands People! Hands on Hips! / 1822. I Want This Hopeful Scene Played on Repeat in Camelot!

"Let's begin," White said as well.

"Using the Holy Lance as a Holy Relic, then directing the summoning onto Artoria."

At a time like this, there was almost only one possible outcome.

That was for a second "King Arthur" to be overlaid onto Artoria.

"...I hereby declare: your body shall serve under me, and my fate shall rest upon your sword."

"If you heed the summons of the Holy Grail, if you submit to this will and this reason, then answer."

"I swear here that I shall accomplish all the good in this world, and I shall eradicate all the evil in this world—"

"You, clad in the Seven Heavens of the Three Great Words, come forth from the Wheel of Restraint, guardian of the scales—"

This was the usual summoning chant.

Yet Artoria had a very strange feeling.

It was as if her own senses had split into two.

One part seemed to return to that distant place in the past.

And that consciousness, too, heard this summons.

Then—she answered it.

A surging force of magical energy began gradually changing within her body.

The divided consciousnesses slowly merged at this moment.

Spiritual Particles gathered around her.

Then, her body, which had remained unchanged for so long, began to change.

She began to grow.

[Is she going to become Lancer Artoria??]

[Everyone, rise!]

[Is it coming? Is it coming?!]

[Woohoo, we're taking off!]

[This is it, this is it, 233]

Artoria's body really was changing.

Unfortunately, the Lancer Artoria the viewers had been anticipating did not appear.

Artoria grew by around eight centimeters.

At just over one meter sixty, she was still halfway short of Lancer Artoria's height.

Artoria's face did not change much, but the parts that had once been flat became far more magnificent.

[She understands people's hearts!]
