Chapter 873

"But..."

"Because I wasn't injured even once, and I wasn't slashed even once."

Shirou grinned broadly and smiled smugly.

That's true, just as he said.

Shirou was never attacked by Lancelot.

He simply escaped Lancelot's attack at a faster pace.

He was just playing around with Lancelot in the air.

Shirou stated this.

You must understand what I'm saying, Ash.

Although he didn't say it aloud, his subtle expressions and eyes conveyed it all to Morgan.

"..."

The Queen sighed softly, and was about to speak—

"So..."

Lancelot, who was being held in Shirou's arms, interrupted the two.

"So, this time... I won..."

Shirou frowned. "Wait a minute, Miss Lancelot. Didn't I say I wasn't going to play anymore?"

Lancelot chuckled mischievously, "Hmm... it was after I touched your body..."

"... ah."

Lancelot is telling the truth.

The two sped around at supersonic speeds.

Lancelot is in pursuit, Shirou is on the run.

Finally, Shirou stopped first and turned around to catch Lancelot had fainted and was about to fall.

Therefore, Lancelot had already encountered Shirou before Shirou said "I forfeit".

How can you calculate it like that?

"Because, these are the rules you... decided, right?"

Lancelot's voice regained its vitality.

Her face was covered in blood, yet she wore an angelic smile.

"Shirou, I've finally caught up with you!" the girl exclaimed happily.

Shirou looked at Morgan speechlessly.

That's how it is. So, Queen Majesty, no one did anything wrong.

We were just playing around, and then I lost, that's all.

"... All right."

Morgan said no more and activated the Water Mirror to return to the throne.

Tristan and Gawain also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can stand up now."

Lancelot wiped his cheek and said.

Are you really okay? Don't push yourself too hard.

Shirou carefully and gently helped Lancelot to her feet.

She stood up unsteadily, only to stumble and fall forward again.

Shirou quickly opened his arms and hugged her.

Lancelot tiptoed and brought his lips close to the man's ear.

"It's like having an affair," the dragon fairy said in a voice only they could hear.

Welcome back, my destined one~

"Ah, I'm back, Melusine."

Shirou gently stroked her head and whispered.

Lancelot narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.

I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

Who told you to always be so slow, putting on such a leisurely, wifely attitude...?

I've already recognized Shirou before you have?

Volume 11: Chapter 513 Proposing and then running away, that was so damn exciting!

"I feel like I could get married anytime."

Shirou shared his heartfelt thoughts.

Today marks the tenth day since he arrived in the Fae Kingdom, and the seventh day he has been in Camelot.

On the table in front of Shirou was a steak about the size of a shield, covered in a thick gravy.

In addition to the main course, the side dishes are also very plentiful, including Italian, French and other styles.

Such a lavish meal would be perfect with white rice, Shirou thought... but the bread tastes good too.

Just as Shirou was enjoying the long-awaited sumptuous meal, a tall woman walked out of the kitchen.

She was Fae Knight Gawain had prepared this delicious meal in front of her, replacing the inn's chef who was resting today.

She, who usually wears rugged armor, has changed into a gorgeous black dress today.

The design, reminiscent of a cheongsam, perfectly showcases the female knight's well-trained physique and mature, voluptuous curves.

"Excuse me, Shirou, what did you just say?"

Gawain sat down in the seat opposite Shirou.

"Gawain, your Cooking Skills is so good, I feel like you could get married any day now."

Shirou said it half-jokingly, but Gawain's expression was calm and he didn't seem embarrassed.

"Oh, I see. I'm so glad that what I made suits your taste... It's just some simple food."

"No, no, no, this can hardly be called a simple meal... Even a banquet at Camelot Palace can't compare to your cooking."

"That's an exaggeration, Shirou."

Gawain frowned.

"It's just food made from wheat as a base ingredient, cooked on a stove using methods similar to human cooking."

She paused for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Shirou, do you know how to cook?"

"Well, I know a little bit," Shirou said, swallowing a piece of meat.

"I see."

"What's wrong, Gawain?"

The Faerie Knight shook his head and said nothing.

One very important reason why she became interested in cooking was because of that person's influence.

The man the female knight once admired was not only highly accomplished in Martial Arts, but also a master of cooking.

Fairies are creatures that like to imitate humans, and Gawain was no exception.

Her ability to cook was entirely influenced by that person.

If Shirou really was that person from 2000 years ago, then he must have been an exceptionally skilled Cooking Skills.

At first, Gawain didn't really believe it.

Compared to Lancelot, a single-celled organism who acts solely on emotion and Instinct, Gawain is clearly more rational.

Humans who have died cannot be resurrected.

No matter how similar Shirou is to that person, they are still two completely different people.

However, after spending several days with him, Gawain's opinion changed slightly.

Although this would be a good opportunity to clarify things, she felt it would ruin the atmosphere at the dinner table.

Unlike Tristan, the Fae Knight Gawain is regarded by the fairies as a paragon of nobility, precisely because of her consistently noble upbringing and character.

Just watching Shirou happily eat the food he had prepared made Gawain feel very happy.

"Honestly, your mouth is all dirty."

As he spoke, Gawain leaned over the table and wiped Shirou's mouth.

While maintaining this posture, the pair of enormous breasts that had been freed from the armor on the Faerie Knight's chest inevitably began to shake violently.

"..."

Shirou enjoyed the alluring scenery before him as he ate his steak with relish.

It wasn't just Gawain who gained a deeper understanding; Shirou did too.

He now has a complete understanding of Gawain's character.

Loyal and proud to be Faerie Knight appointed by the Queen, he is practically the epitome of a knight in the positive sense of the story.

She was impeccably polite and had a very disciplined lifestyle. Rather than simply displaying chivalrous manners, she possessed the upbringing of an upper-class heiress.

After removing her armor, her tone changes, becoming that of a typical rich young lady.

This is what Gawain is really like, but you can also feel her serious personality from how thoroughly her personality changes depending on whether she has armor or not.

Like Tristan, Gawain also loves other worlds... stories of Pan-Human History.

She always looks completely absorbed when Shirou talks about Pan-Human History at the dinner table.

However, Gawain and Tristan have different focuses regarding Pan-Human History.

If Tristan's obsession was with art and fashion Pan-Human History, with interests leaning more towards girls, then Gawain's interests leaned more towards boys.

Her favorite story is about the Knights of the Round Table.

As Faerie Knight, she was given the name Gawain.

Those Knights of the Round Table were her role models; Gawain wanted to be like them, and now she was constantly striving to become like them.

"Shirou, tell me the story of the Knights of the Round Table today too?"

Gawain sat across the table, a look of anticipation on his face.

"No."

Shirou shook his head. "Sometimes I'd like to hear Gawain talk about the Fae Kingdom too."

"Is there something that even the self-proclaimed Genesis King of Britain doesn't know?"

Gawain gave him a mocking look.

Their relationship was so good that they could joke around with each other.

It's an incredible feat that Gawain, a man of serious and meticulous nature, could make jokes; the two involved seem to be completely on the same page.

Shirou said, "Yes, of course. After all, I've been away from here for two thousand years."

"Very well... Your Majesty, what kind of story would you like to hear?"

Shirou grimaced.

In that instant, Gawain's soldierly Instinct made her notice the change in the air in the restaurant.

Before she could react, Shirou spoke:

"While strolling through the streets of Camelot, I heard some interesting rumors."
