"I want to say this." She gathered her courage and confessed her feelings to Arthur. "I can also offer everything to the King, just like Lord Galahad!"
Arthur nodded. "Very good. I can feel your resolve."
Before Gareth could even rejoice at Arthur's praise, she heard him say:
"Come to my bedroom tonight."
Gareth: "...?"
After saying that, Arthur turned and strode away, leaving the Wolf Girl standing there alone in a daze.
"Eh, eeeh?"
"Even if—"
"—but—"
"—isn't this moving too fast?"
The girl stood there blankly, then swiftly turned into a steaming maiden. Afterwards, she, along with her mother, sister, and aunt, felt unbearably ashamed for misunderstanding Artorius Pendragon's words.
When they all appeared on the land of the Shadow Country, even an idiot understood that Arthur had not meant that.
This was an important base for Arthur's Usurp Fate Plan. He had brought them here so they could better assist him and join the plan.
Gareth was to receive Teacher Scathach's Spear Techniques training to strengthen herself. The same went for Mordred. Artoria and Morgan le Fay were to join Arthur's plan. Morgan especially was one of the executors Arthur had chosen for the Usurp Fate ritual.
The other executors were Lady of the Lake Vivian and Merlin—though Arthur was not particularly willing, he had still called Merlin over for the sake of caution.
So many people arriving at once made the once-silent Shadow Country much livelier.
However, looking at the newcomers, Scathach's feelings were somewhat complicated:
"Does this kid think of me as some useful tool?"
She could not help thinking:
"Another new child for me to teach. He isn't going to drag me off to be a private tutor in the future, is he?"
Of course, compared to that, something else surprised her even more.
