[The bookstore didn't have Merlin's works upstairs, so I dropped a Noble Phantasm on it. Guys, did I do the right thing?]
[Brilliant! No wonder My King couldn't protect Britain back then, but can rule the kingdom perfectly now!]
"Is this the power of the Holy Lance?"
Mordred stared blankly at the video.
Her Father King, who had originally looked exactly like her, had somehow grown into a Queen who could rally the hearts of the people in the blink of an eye!
Was this the power of the Holy Lance?
Back then, Nameless Heroic Spirit had told her about the Holy Lance.
The holy sword's purpose was to destroy enemies, while the Holy Lance was a Tower of Light that secured the planet's surface.
Simply put.
The human world and the world of the fairies were both layers of skin draped over the planet's surface, and they needed to be stitched together with "pillars of light" like the Holy Lance.
Besides King Arthur wielding a Holy Lance, there was also a monkey in the distant East holding another pillar of light.
Once those pillars collapsed, the entire human world would peel away from the planet's surface.
Bringing about the extinction of all humankind!
None of that mattered. What mattered was—
The weapon that stabbed her to death was this very lance!
After the video of The Perfect King was released, online spectators gave it a name—
[Stab-Son Spear!]
Back then, the Father and Daughter had fought.
Even though she had deliberately deflected the Noble Phantasm's power slightly, Father King had still said something straight from the heart.
And then impaled her with a single thrust!
Mordred looked at the lance and felt her heart ache.
Her heart literally ached!
"Little Mordred, forget it. Your Father King would never let you touch the Holy Lance!"
Gawain brought over the ten-person serving of potato rice he had prepared. "See? Aren't I good to you? If you eat more, you'll grow into Father King's shape!"
"...Are you sure?"
Mordred looked doubtful.
She couldn't help feeling that the knights had joined forces to trick her.
"Not sure—"
Gawain thought for a moment, then said very seriously, "Because your Father King eats even more!"
"Fine, I'll eat. I refuse to believe I can't outgrow Father King!"
Mordred gritted her teeth and accepted it without hesitation.
As long as she could surpass Father King, she was willing to endure every pain in the world!
Wearing an expression of agony as she ate the potato rice, she continued watching the video.
After King Arthur's transformation.
The video had already reached its ending.
The white-robed Magician of Flowers was standing atop the Tower of End in Avalon.
In his hands was a cute little white creature.
"Go, Cath Palug. I'll stay here."
Merlin said with a smile, "Go and follow your heart to encounter those truly beautiful things!"
The soft and adorable white creature was thrown from the Tower of End into the endless void.
"Fou—Fou!!!"
The little white creature shrieked sharply as it fell heavily downward, yet no echo could be heard for a long time.
Then, lines of text appeared on the screen—
[One thousand five hundred years later, Fou finally landed...]
[This Extra Story has ended!]
[To find out what happens next, watch the next video!]
The scene slowly darkened.
The audience froze for a moment before flooding the screen with comments—
[Holy crap, you made the adorable little thing free-fall for fifteen hundred years! You heartless bastard, Merlin the Heartless!]
[Fou: Merlin the Heartless, you're dead! I'll kill you the moment we meet and scatter your ashes to the wind!]
[Fou: Merlin, I &%&%...￥&￥!]
[Merlin must die!]
Chaldea.
Everyone was watching the video.
Doctor Roman froze. "It's over already???"
"Bedivere failed to return the sword to the Lady of the Lake, allowing King Arthur to be invaded by the Holy Lance. She'll probably transform into a deity!"
Da Vinci's expression was extremely solemn.
Chaldea was merely an organization created through the cooperation of Heroic Spirits from various nations, serving to mediate conflicts among them.
Yet this [Nameless Heroic Spirit] could walk through Human History and accomplish an inconceivably grand mission.
Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Da Vinci always felt that this was what Chaldea should truly be doing!
Could this have happened on some Timeline?
Beside him, Mashu blinked. "Nameless Heroic Spirit... Somehow, that feels a little familiar."
"Don't worry. [Alaya] will expose everything."
Doctor Roman recovered, but still couldn't help gritting his teeth. "Merlin really is a heartless bastard. If we ever meet him, we have to beat him up!"
In the Extra Story of Magician of Flowers, everything about him had been exposed perfectly.
It was the first time Roman had realized that someone could be so despicable—so despicable that everyone wanted to kill him!
As expected, there was always someone even more despicable!
During his break.
Roman hid in the lounge, eating strawberry cake while casually browsing the livestreams.
Then he saw a new streamer, and his heart instantly began pounding.
She had long silver-white hair, ruby-like eyes, and a bright, adorable smile.
"She's so cute! She's kind and adorable, just like an angel!"
Roman clutched his chest.
Could this be the legendary love at first sight?
A single glance lasting ten thousand years!
Just from seeing her once, he instantly knew that she was his favorite angel. He absolutely had to support only her!
The new virtual streamer was called—
[Magic☆Melly!]
In the room.
"Melly is just too cute! Looking at her, even the anger Merlin caused me earlier is starting to fade!"
Doctor Roman gazed at the new streamer with infatuation. Beneath her soft and adorable voice, she seemed like an angel bringing light and warmth to the world.
After watching the Extra Story video Magician of Flowers, he had been so furious that he had almost been unable to finish his strawberry cake.
How could someone so despicable exist?
He had abused King Arthur since she was little, leaving the ten-year-old girl able to sleep only two or three hours a day.
When traveling through the various kingdoms, he had caused trouble like a madman, treating everyone as clowns to toy with.
Later, he had even watched Morgan create the homunculus Mordred without telling King Arthur or Nameless Heroic Spirit anything.
In the end, after provoking the fairies, he had simply hidden inside the Tower of End.
He hadn't even taken part in King Arthur's final battle to the death.
When he had finished watching The Perfect King, Roman had wondered whether Merlin had developed feelings for King Arthur while raising her and couldn't bear to watch her destined end.
The truth proved that the man was nothing but a heartless nightmare!
Damn that Merlin. Nameless Heroic Spirit should have killed him with a single sword strike back then!
"But Melly really is adorable!"
The more Doctor Roman watched, the more he liked her.
Looking at her was like eating strawberry cake, making his heart feel sweet and sour all over.
Fortunately, there was such a Little Angel to offer comfort to his soul.
Without hesitation, he took out his salary, sent her a small television as a tip, and left a message: "Melly-chan, I really like you!"
After all, she was a new streamer.
His thousand-yuan small television instantly made him the Top Supporter!
After receiving his tip, she gave him a sweet smile. "Thank you for your support, Doctor Brother. You're so nice!"
She smiled at me!
She has me in her heart!
Does she like me?
Doctor Roman felt wonderful inside. The money he had spent no longer bothered him in the slightest.
It seemed he had to work hard and earn money so that Melly could stay beautiful and adorable forever!
Avalon.
A land where endless flowers bloomed.
At the top of the towering Tower of End.
Merlin's face was filled with delight. "Tsk, money from shut-ins is so easy to earn!"
With his Clairvoyance that could see across the [Present], he could stand atop the tower and survey the entire Earth.
Merlin never left home, yet knew everything happening under the heavens!
In truth, if he committed suicide, he could directly ascend to the Heroic Spirit Throne and become the Grand Caster!
Though his reputation seemed unremarkable, he was in no way inferior to that attention-seeking King of Heroes.
That man was the oldest King of Heroes.
As for him, he was the oldest shut-in.
