Chapter 92: Guinevere and Lancy
🕑 Added 2025-06-12 12:30:01 +0000 UTCAt Natsuki Minamiya’s house, Arthur and his group arrived directly at the original location.
However, the wry smile on Arthur’s face was very unusual.
“What’s wrong? You’re really something! You go out for a bit and can bring back so many beauties!!”
Natsuki Minamiya looked at Arthur, but he didn’t respond. Instead, his gaze shifted toward Guinevere in confusion. He couldn’t understand why she insisted on coming here. With her personality, she should have stayed quietly at home.
“My King, is this the world you spoke of?”
“That’s right. Alright, let’s eat first, and then I’ll take you to find a house. Your task from now on is to keep an eye on someone for me.” Arthur had everyone sit down, preparing for the meal.
“My King?” Natsuki Minamiya raised an eyebrow. “You’re still a king?”
“What, doesn’t it look like it?” Arthur smiled.
Natsuki didn’t refute him. Although Arthur usually appeared very ordinary, the aura he exuded in certain situations always made people submit without realizing it. So, she said nothing more.
“Alright, eat up,” Arthur instructed, and everyone began to eat.
However, Natsuki’s curiosity only grew deeper. Hey, don’t you know that once you become curious about someone, you’ll start to fall?
After they had eaten their fill, Arthur had Lancy take Guinevere away. He had just asked Lancy to use her work ID to buy a house near Kojo Akatsuki. That would be their mission from now on.
During this time, Arthur asked Natsuki about the recent situation on Itogami Island. She told him that recently, they had received reports of an unknown entity eliminating demons.
Arthur recalled the plot. If things were going as expected, they should currently be in the Right Arm of the Saint arc. According to the original story, this was when Kojo Akatsuki awakened his Golden Lion. But Arthur looked at Yukina Himeragi, who was happily listening to Jeanne Alter’s story beside him, and he could only silently pray for Kojo Akatsuki in his heart.
“Kojo, you’re on your own. Anyway, you’re a True Ancestor, you won’t die. Just consider it suffering to hone yourself~.”
The night passed peacefully—except for Guinevere and Lancy.
“Gwen, why did you insist on coming along?” In the room, Lancy looked curiously at Guinevere beside her. She was puzzled by Guinevere’s actions today.
“What? You already have other people, and you won’t even let me keep an eye on you!”
“Who has other people?!” Lancy immediately protested. “I have no other women. My only woman has always been you!!!”
“That’s right! You only have me as a woman, but you have other men!!!”
“What?”
Guinevere looked at Lancy’s stunned expression and smiled faintly.
“Lancy, have you noticed? Lately, you’ve been acting less and less like your old self. I’ve gradually realized that... maybe you prefer boys now.”
“How is that possible, Gwen, what are you talking about? You’re not me,” Lancy replied awkwardly, cold sweat breaking out on her back.
“Hehe, precisely because I’m not you, I understand you even better. The current you is more like my best friend now—something you can’t feel for yourself.”
“Gwen, I…” Lancy didn’t finish. Perhaps she had already known that the person who understood her best would always be Guinevere. She no longer wanted to argue, so...
“I’m sorry, Gwen. I didn’t realize.”
“Didn’t realize you’d become normal?” Gwen wasn’t angry. Perhaps she had already forgiven her. “In my heart, you’ve always been my most important family.”
“Gwen... Waaah…” Lancy actually started crying. This usually boisterous girl harbored such soft emotions inside.
Guinevere hugged her gently. “Alright, alright, you’re a dignified knight! How can you cry? Go, go find your happiness,” she comforted softly. “From now on, we’ll still be good sisters.”
“Mm!!” Lancy nodded. Looking at the gentle Guinevere in front of her, she thought silently in her heart:
“Vere, don’t worry, I will never give up on you. If I can always stay by the King’s side, then you must also be by my side. At worst, we’ll marry him together!!!”
Of course, Guinevere didn’t know these thoughts. If she did, she would definitely give her a good scolding! She hadn’t even settled down herself, yet someone was already adding her to their dowry! This was unbearable!!!
Naturally, Arthur had no idea either. If he did, he would definitely be reconsidering his position. Was he their man... or their woman?
On the other side, Natsuki Minamiya was still gazing at the moon. Her identity made it impossible for her to enjoy the luxury of sleep. That’s right, the current her was merely a collection of magical power; her true body still slept in a distant place. So, she didn’t need to sleep.
“…What’s wrong, still not asleep?” Natsuki heard footsteps. Without turning around, she knew it was Arthur.
Arthur placed a pot of black tea in front of her.
“They’re all asleep, so I came to see you.”
“What’s there to see about me?” Natsuki looked curiously at the man before her. She had always thought that as long as she remained in Itogami City, she could obtain any information she wanted. However, Arthur—this mysterious man—completely baffled her.
“Of course there is. Natsuki-chan is so cute, how could I let you appreciate your beauty all alone?”
“Your mouth is really sweet, but don’t add ‘-chan’ to my name!!!”
Looking at her cute and slightly angry face, Arthur couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
“You!!! What are you doing!!!”
“Alright, don’t be so tsundere.”
“Who’s being tsundere?! Don’t pinch people’s faces randomly!!” Natsuki suddenly felt that meeting this guy was the biggest mistake of her life. How many times had it been now? Just a few days, and her usually indifferent mood had been shattered again and again.
“Did the heavens deliberately send this person to mess with me?” she couldn’t help but wonder.
“However, you brew a pretty good tea, plus you’re highly skilled, can cook, have money, are handsome, and even a king…” Natsuki’s voice grew softer and softer. She suddenly realized that the Arthur before her was nearly flawless—almost perfect.
“Why did you stop talking? I wanted to keep hearing you praise me!” Arthur said shamelessly.
“Alright, aside from being thick-skinned, you’re pretty good at everything else,” Natsuki finally said, helplessly.
“Alright, thank you for the compliment. Please,” Arthur offered the tea.
“Thank you.” Natsuki took it and sipped gently.
A pot of black tea, a man and a woman, so many stories. They actually talked all night...
