The other knights who came... all looked at Aozaki Touko in awe and fear, as if they were seeing... a 'monster'.
Just now, when they approached Aozaki Touko, they saw an incredible scene.
The 'great' being sitting cross-legged on the holy white throne, with an unbelievably strong sense of presence, suppressed their minds and made them breathless, and... the brief but terrifying amount of information contained in the dialogue.
It all made them... tremble.
"Probably... I was scared." Miss Merlin smiled and said, "I was more curious about who you were talking to, so I reflected the scenery you saw, and they happened to run into the viewing range."
"Yeah, that's really unfortunate." Aozaki Touko nodded slightly and looked at the knights on the horse. "Knowing things you shouldn't know is not necessarily a good thing for you. If necessary... I can erase this memory of yours."
"No, running away is not the way of a knight!"
The leading knight, Kai, shook his head quickly and said, "We have no intention of exploring things that are too far away. This time we came here to ask about food."
"Your Highness the Savior, can you please... teach us how to survive?"

"... Is this... really distressing?"
Aozaki Touko tilted his head, looked at Miss Merlin, and said with a smile, "Sage... Didn't Merlin predict it? Why do you want to place your wish on me?"
"No, compared to the Misty King."
Kai did not show any respect for the sage Merlin, but bluntly expressed his thoughts. "I am more... focused on now, how many troops there are to resist foreign enemies, and whether I can survive better."
He shrugged slightly and showed a hearty smile.
"In the final analysis, it's more troops, more wealth, and more power. It's more practical."
It's not a lie. In his opinion... Merlin and King Uther are just dreams. If the problem can be solved... why should we pin it on the future, and when the situation in this country is getting worse and worse.
However, the prophecy of Merlin... is not a bad thing.
At the very least, it gives the people of this land a reason to live patiently and place their hope for a better future on the king who may appear in the future.
However, if the predicted 'king' really appears in the future to save Britain.
That's really unfortunate. If people's wishes are not fulfilled, the people who continue to tolerate them will surely burn up in raging anger.
"I didn't expect... you are still a realist."
Aozaki Touko nodded slightly, his expression showing no emotion or anger. "However, unfortunately I can't promise you. If I intervene, it will cause the birth of Singularity."
With that said, she turned around and wanted to leave. Then, as if she thought of something, she suddenly stopped and explained with her back to Kai.
"I'll give you a prophecy. Even if this country is destroyed, people's souls... will die and go to a new world to be reborn."
"Ah... this rhetoric." Kai looked at the orange-haired woman's back and laughed, "Are you God? Promise people to go to heaven after death."
"... No, it's just Magic User."
Aozaki Touko shook his head slightly, and then left with Merlin and Mordred.
Seeing this, Kai did not choose to stop them, but just watched silently as the three disappeared. After a moment, he pulled the reins of the horse and greeted the other knights.
"Let's go, they don't seem to be planning to help."
With that said, he rode away on his fast horse.
Immediately afterwards, the other knights followed and left on horseback. The strength of the three women was not simple, and it was unrealistic to force them to assist.
So, since I was rejected... there is nothing I can do.
"... the savior?"
In the leaving knight team, a knight suddenly looked back at the direction Touko and others were leaving, with a hint of thought in his eyes, and said, "I think... it would be good for the dead souls to go to the new world."
"Ferguson... compared to these, it is better to consider exercising more strength."
Kai, who was riding in front, turned around and laughed, "Compared to the world after death, it is better... to consider more practical issues."
"No, I think... it is more practical to spread the word about what happened today."
Ferguson shook his head and said, "Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I think... this will reduce people's pain a lot. Even if it is... fake, it doesn't matter."
London.
Clock Tower
Inside the office of Modern Science and Technology Lord.
"Orange-haired, savior, soul bound for a new world."
Waver held a cigar in his mouth and flipped through an old piece of parchment. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Why does this description look so similar to Teacher Touko?"
As he spoke, he took a long breath of smoke.
"Isn't it possible? Teacher Touko went back to the past and changed history."
Somewhat unsure, he left the office and went to the apartment near Clock Tower. If he wanted to find out the truth, he could just ask King Arthur himself, and he should be able to get some effective information.
at the same time.
at Fuyuki City.
Homonculus Academy Elementary School.
"... I feel like I still care a little."
Illya held her cheek in her hands and looked out the window in a daze. She was surprised to see the black-haired girl last night, but she thought she would have to wait until the next time she collected cards.
However, just then.
"Come on, come in!"
On the podium, teacher Fujimura Taiga made such a voice.
Hearing this, Illya came back to her senses and looked at the classroom door with some curiosity. She was distracted just now and didn't notice what teacher Taiga was saying.
However, she understood what teacher Taiga said before.
A girl with shoulder-length black hair walked in carrying a schoolbag. Isn't that the girl who suddenly appeared last night? What is this development... The mysterious beautiful girl has transferred to a new school.
This plot development... isn't it too routine?
"... My name is, Miyu·Edelfelt."
The girl stood on the podium and introduced herself to the whole class, and then, as if by coincidence... her eyes looking around the classroom happened to overlap with Illya's eyes.
The atmosphere was subtly frozen.
"Hey... Does Miyu know Illya?"
Taiga noticed that the new students Miyu and Illya were looking at each other, as if they knew each other, so she said:
"Then...Miyu will sit behind Illya. There happens to be an empty seat behind Illya."
"Yes."
Miyu nodded slightly and walked towards Illya.
Seeing this, Fujimura Taiga blinked. She originally had something to say, but seeing Miyu already walking towards her seat, she could only say briefly, "Miyu is a returnee from Finland. I'm afraid there are many things that I don't understand. Everyone should get along well with her."
"Yes~"
The whole class responded with a unanimous voice.
Beautiful things always have preferential treatment. Miyu, who has just transferred from school... is undoubtedly a beautiful child. For children who are still elementary school students, I am still very happy... to accept Miyu, who has just transferred from school.
"Well... we meet again."
Illya turned to look at Miyu behind him, scratched his cheek and said, "I never thought... we would become classmates. What a coincidence."
"..."
Miyu blinked slightly and was silent for a moment. Then, just when Illya was about to turn around in embarrassment, she whispered:
"Um...Illya, do you have time after class?"
"Huh?",
Illya was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Of course there is time, but Miyu, do you have anything to do with me?"
"..."
Miyu looked away with embarrassment, and gently touched the hair beside her ears with her slender hands, saying in a low voice, "I have something to ask Illya."
"Ah... ok."
Illya nodded in agreement.
*
After class.
Rooftop.
"Want to meet...Touko Mama?!"
Illya widened Ruby's eyes, looked at Miyu in front of him and said, "If this is the case... it's not impossible, but Touko Mama... went on a trip."
She Touko Mama...since saving the world.
Just leaving the current timeline in a hurry, even she had no way to see Touko Mama. As for when Touko Mama would come back, even she had no idea.
"Yeah."
Miyu showed some disappointed expression.
Seeing this, Illya scratched his cheek and asked in a low voice, "Actually, it's not impossible to contact me, but Miyu, you have to tell me... why you want to see Touko Mama."
"... Thank you, Illya."
Miyu took a breath, put his delicate hands on his chest, and said seriously, "I want to ask Lady Touko to save the world."
"..."
Chapter 471: Asking for help from another world
After school.
On the way home.
(... In the end, I just won by running.)
Illya raised her head slightly and looked at the white clouds floating in the sky. She felt a strong sense of frustration in her heart. In the process of getting along with Miyu today, she saw the so-called genius girl for the first time, and also understood the barriers brought by talent for the first time. It was a natural but visible gap. Whether it was in mathematics, painting, or cooking, she was taken for granted but... absolutely crushed.
If... it wasn't the Magic User bloodline of Touko Mama that cheated, he would probably have lost to Miyu in running.
"What's wrong, Illya?"
Miyu looked at Illya, who was walking beside her, and suddenly felt depressed. She tilted her head in confusion, and she didn't know... the reason for Illya's depression. Maybe... it was the so-called elusive heart of a girl.
However, after getting along with him for a day, she still understood Illya to some extent.
Although it seems that Illya behaves like an ordinary elementary school student, when it comes to running competitions, the explosive power that breaks the limits of human beings, and the terrifying speed that may break the world record if not suppressed...
Such extraordinary physical ability is simply unbelievable.
"It's nothing, I just think...Miyu is so awesome!"
Illya waved his hands in a panic, and then said with a sunny smile, "People used to think that the genius girl setting was just a character in comics, but I didn't expect... that I would see it with my own eyes in reality."
"... No, it's not that powerful~"
Miyu looked at Illya's sunny smile and turned his head away in embarrassment. Then, as if to change the subject, he asked, "Speaking of which, Illya... why did you collect cards? It should have nothing to do with you."
"Oh... is this~"
Illya slowed down slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face. "That's because Ruby relied on me and refused to leave. She insisted that I be her contractor. Moreover, Sister Rin... is an acquaintance of my family, so I thought I might as well help Sister Rin collect cards."
"But Illya... aren't you afraid?" Miyu was a little confused. "Heroic Spirit has power beyond human beings. Even with Ruby... it will be very dangerous."
"That's right."
