Chapter 886
He roughly understood what kind of woman Aurora was.
"I'm afraid my eloquence won't please Aurora."
Shirou feigned regret as he spoke, Aurora shook her head, smiling as she replied.
"No, that's not true. Our conversation was quite interesting. Anyway, please sit down."
The group was led to chairs and taken to their seats. Aurora looked at her adjutant.
"Coral, could you please excuse me for a moment?"
Aurora!
"Don't worry, these people are all trustworthy. So, I should reciprocate with my trust, right?"
"Yes. Please call me immediately if you change your mind."
The pink-haired Wind Clan fairy withdrew.
"Please forgive Coral. She's a very proud girl, but she doesn't know how to be flexible."
Shirou shook his head, and then Aurora began to ask about the Pan-Human History, which was what she was most looking forward to.
Shirou avoided important information and focused his explanation on entertainment and culture.
During this time, Artoria quietly asked Oberon a question that had been bothering her for a long time.
"Oberon, what did you mean by saying that 'Shirou was once a guest of His Majesty Morgan'?"
"Shirou was treated with hospitality by the Queen, yet he sneaked into Morgan's bedroom in the dead of night to assassinate her, but failed and fled."
"!?"
Artoria's eyes widened.
"Shirou, are you a wanted criminal in Camelot?"
Aurora, who was having a pleasant conversation with Shirou, showed a hint of displeasure Aurora interrupted, but only for a moment.
Artoria, keenly aware of this, immediately apologized.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to interrupt you."
"Hehe, please don't mind it." Aurora gave a fake smile.
"Um, Aurora, are you also aware of Shirou's identity?"
Aurora nodded and said, "Of course, Shirou is a traveler from a world different from ours."
It's hard to believe... but this must have been guided by Ainsel, the patriarch of the Mirror Clan.
As a fairy living in the Fae Kingdom, meeting with Shirou behind His Majesty's back might indeed be a bad thing.
But I value our... way of being fairies more than the survival of Britain.
Her Majesty the Queen is undoubtedly an exceptional person...
If this continues, an even worse outcome awaits us...
Oberon seized the opportunity to say, "However, it's best to keep this meeting a secret for now."
Aurora is the clan leader, after all. Once your secret contact with Shirou is exposed, Morgan might very well wipe out the Wind Clan.
So you can only assist us behind the scenes. If anything goes wrong, both sides can claim ignorance.
Artoria exclaimed in astonishment, "Kill them all... Even the Wind Clan Chief couldn't stand up to His Majesty Morgan head-on?"
"The Queen could wipe out our entire army with just a flick of her little finger."
Aurora's answer made the Paradise Fae gasp.
"Oh, I see... Your Majesty Morgan is amazing..."
Aurora sighed, "Because that person is a special fairy."
The future predictions left by Ainsel... Without that "Child of Prophecy," it would have been impossible to defeat her.
But the "Child of Prophecy" has yet to appear... Hopefully, he will come to save us soon...
So far, everything has unfolded exactly as Shirou and Oberon had anticipated.
According to the prior rehearsal, it was now Oberon's turn to make his move, the court con artist from the Fae Kingdom.
He grinned mischievously. "Yeah, you're absolutely right, Aurora!"
Therefore, I would like to formally introduce a fairy to you who are troubled by this...
"Bang--!!"
Oberon suddenly leaned back and lost consciousness.
"Oberon...?"
Just as he was about to sell Aurora to Artoria, Shirou knocked him unconscious with a speed no one could see.
He changed his mind at the last minute; he couldn't introduce Artoria to Aurora so soon.
Shirou said, "Oberon doesn't seem to have slept well last night... Heh, young people are great, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow."
"Is he alright?" Aurora asked, puzzled.
"It's alright, Aurora, let's get back to the topic of Pan-Human History."
Upon hearing Shirou mention the human world, Aurora immediately became interested and completely forgot about the topic Oberon had raised.
After that, Shirou received permission from a cheerful Aurora to perform officially in Salisbury, as well as letters of introduction to other cities.
As evening fell, the group left the cathedral.
Shirou carried the unconscious Oberon on his back and walked with Artoria through the quiet streets.
"Shirou."
"What's wrong?"
"Why did you stop Oberon from introducing me to Aurora just now?"
The Paradise Fae looked up and asked with a serious expression.
Is it because I'm not qualified enough yet?
That's not true.
Shirou said calmly, "Leave it to me, Artoria."
I will definitely accompany you to the very end of this journey.
"..."
Artoria nodded.
In the Fae Eyes, Shirou's words contained not a single falsehood.
Volume 11: Chapter 520 Fae Tristan: Shirou, who is that village girl next to you?
Now that he had obtained Aurora's letter of introduction, Shirou had no reason to linger in Salisbury any longer.
Although Artoria was willing to trust Shirou, the lack of progress in their journey inevitably left her feeling confused.
So, after his meeting with Aurora, Shirou immediately notified the fairies of the Nameless Forest to prepare for their departure.
The next stop has been decided: Gloucester, known as the fashion capital of Britain.
Aurora heard that Shirou and his Theater Company planned to leave Salisbury, she immediately summoned him to the Great Cathedral and expressed her strong desire for him to stay.
However, Shirou managed to use his skillful rhetoric to persuade Aurora to abandon her plan for the Theater Company to stay in Salisbury.
As for the other troublesome woman, Lancelot was not so easy to deal with.
Finally, Shirou had no choice but to use his charms and accompany her on a two-day date in Salisbury before she finally let him go.
However, Shirou wasn't just busy taking Lancelot around; he also took the opportunity to investigate information about their next destination.
Gloucester is the Wing Clan, the territory of Muryan.
It is said that fighting is strictly prohibited there.
Currently, there are no conflicts with any clan, nor is there complete submission to Queen Morgan.
Lady Muryan of Gloucester declared that this was an independent autonomous region, and she even proclaimed to all of Britain that "this place merely has diplomatic relations with His Majesty Morgan's Fae Kingdom."
In Shirou's memory, "Wings" should be the weakest fairy clan.
If the Fang Clan is the strongest clan, like a wild beast, then the Wing Clan is literally as weak as an insect.
Furthermore, it seems that the Wing Clan was wiped out before Shirou returned to the Fae Kingdom.
That fairy named Muryan was the final "wing"...
How dare they speak to Morgan like that?
She must be a very powerful fairy, right?
Lancelot put his arm around Shirou's, shook his head with a smile, and said, "How could that be? Muryan is just taking advantage of His Majesty Morgan's leniency to not stoop to her level."
Really... You seem to be about the same way? You're the last person qualified to judge others, aren't you?
And so, Shirou set off for Gloucester two days later.
Upon arriving in Gloucester, thanks to Aurora's letter of introduction, the traveling Theater Company obtained performance permits without any problems.
However, meeting with Muryan seems to be a long time coming.
For a fairy, Muryan is quite clever and quick-witted. Unlike the empty-headed and innocent Aurora, her focus on Shirou is not on Pan-Human History.
What she cared more about was Shirou's declaration in the throne room at that time.
A man who claims to be the reincarnation of the King who created Britain.
Muryan probably wanted to observe the situation first before meeting Shirou.
Shirou didn't care what others thought; his priority was to establish himself in Gloucester step by step.
Because the Theater Company's performances in Salisbury were always sold out, Shirou amassed an unimaginable fortune (Morgan Pound).
Now, they no longer need to endure the elements in the countryside, but have found a foothold on this busiest street in Britain.
"Commander, may we park this carriage here? Neigh."
"... Okay, you can stop over there. Sorry to bother you."
Shirou said, somewhat embarrassed.
After all, a huge horse face suddenly appeared from the side, speaking fluent human language, yet deliberately neighing to emphasize that it was a horse...
Shirou thought he knew enough about the Fae Kingdom, but he discovered that there were still many unsolved mysteries in this world.
For example, this monster who calls himself Redra Bit, with the head of a horse and the body of a centaur.
Red... Rabbit... the name seems to refer to Red Hare...
The fairy horse who called itself Redra readily shook its head.
"No, no, ever since Salisbury, the captain has been very good to me, neigh."
He (?) seems to be a member of the Fang Clan, perhaps a special individual among them, and his abilities as a fairy are also very powerful.
Originally Aurora's subordinate, he was asked to join the Theater Company when Shirou left Salisbury.
Shirou deduced that Aurora had requested Red Hare to monitor her actions and then report back to her regularly...
That's half the reason; the other half is probably just wanting to get rid of it.
He initially took in the demon horse to show the public his kindness and compassion, but it turned out to be a more troublesome fellow than he had imagined. This is a good opportunity to push it onto Shirou.
However, Shirou was quite pleased, as Red Hare was a significant boost to the Theater Company, and they had essentially made a profit.
In any case, he doesn't currently have any actions that he can't keep from Aurora's knowledge.
"Sigh... why did I have to come too?"
The woman from the Wind Clan who appeared behind Redra with a sigh was Coral, a confidante of Aurora.
Unlike the demon horse that Aurora forced upon her, she was Shirou deliberately took from Aurora.
Shirou had planned to recruit this discriminatory woman, but Lancelot ruined the whole thing.
