What did it do?
Artoria was puzzled.
She closed her eyes and recalled the feeling of holding the holy sword.
"That holy sword... was like... a world. White called it 'Paradise.' The holy sword itself seemed to sing the praises of human history, guiding humanity toward the future... That was roughly how it felt."
"I see." Lord El-Melloi II more or less understood.
"Does it have some special significance?" Artoria asked.
"When it comes to 'Paradise,' there are actually many possibilities. But in the legends of King Arthur, there is only one paradise: Avalon. And since this is a holy sword that celebrates humanity's great deeds... then it is quite obvious. This sword probably has a very special trait."
Lord El-Melloi II himself found it rather absurd, so he paused, weighing whether he should say it aloud.
After a while, he continued, "That trait is probably 'Legend Is Truth.' It turns stories that are passed down into reality. I do not know what your nun knows, but she should understand that holy sword better, which is why she proposed such a method."
"How can this save White?" Artoria continued.
"...In some legends, King Arthur does not truly die. He... she goes to Avalon after the Battle of Camlann and gains eternal life."

"Is that really all there is to it?"
"Master? Are
