The Paladin on the Infinite Tour

"And if he faces a situation where he needs to make a choice, his sequence of actions will be like this -"

"Save the people who are most important to him first, and then save the ordinary people who don't matter."

This is the current philosophy of Exia.

I no longer regard myself as an omnipotent hero, and after abandoning my previous naivety of "I want to save them all," I have made a decision that is more realistic and satisfies my own thoughts.

————————————————————————

After a while——

The fifth underground floor of Shibuya Station.

Among the crowds of people, a girl suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She was a pretty cute girl, she seemed to be around twelve or thirteen years old, and she was obviously not an Oriental. Golden curls form elegant curves, setting off an extremely upright and beautiful face. It's like a rare puppet master who has spent his entire career creating classic dolls.

Just looking at her face, anyone can feel the pure aura overflowing from her face.

But contrary to this pure and innocent appearance, she was wearing a coquettish black dress, giving people the impression of a cute princess dressed as a vicious queen.

There is no doubt that she is a girl who attracts attention wherever she goes.

But the strange thing is that the crowd around her completely ignored her existence. Even within a certain distance around her, people seemed to deliberately avoid her, completely isolating a vacuum zone. , and no one around noticed this abnormality.

This is a matter of course.

Even though she is no longer the God of Disobedience, the girl is still the ancestor of the gods, the Queen of Witches who is at the top of the sky, and it is impossible for mortals to casually notice her existence.

And now——

"come yet?"

As if she noticed something, after standing still for a while, the girl murmured like this.

Tick ​​tock!

With the sound of water droplets clearly ringing in the station where people were coming and going, the people who filled the entire station were like controlled puppets, walking towards the floors above.

The station, which was full of people, became extremely empty in just a few minutes, leaving Guinevere alone.

Then, standing calmly on the elevator in front of her and arriving at the lowest floor of the station, Ixia put her hands in her trouser pockets and looked at the girl in front of her with a smile: "Well, I found you successfully. If you hide in the crowd and leave, I will have to work harder."

"This is the first time we meet, Ms. Guinevere, the maid serving the brave - do I need to introduce myself to you?"

13.Call Lancelot out

Looking at Aixia, who appeared in front of her in a very natural way like a friend of the opposite sex who had made an appointment to meet, Guinevere was silent for a while, then a sweet and lovely smile appeared on her face, and she lifted up her skirt and asked Aixia. Kesia bowed.

"Of course not."

"I did not expect that you would deign to come in person. I, Guinevere, am deeply frightened by this meeting - Your Majesty, the most noble king among thousands of knights."

——King of Knights.

——Axia Messiah Kaslana.

A new god-slayer who killed the disobedient Veleslana in Sardinia more than a month ago and became the seventh king of the world.

Of course Guinevere knew this level of information, but what she didn't expect was that the new king would suddenly appear in front of her at this time.

How did she find herself?

Why does it appear in front of you?

And from what he said, it seemed like he came here specifically for me?

"The Holy Grail of Magic."

Staring at Guinevere, who had no emotional changes on the surface but was always thinking in her heart, Ixia smiled and said the name: "In your hands, right? I learned something about the King of the End. Since a battle with him is unavoidable, I want to weaken his power as much as possible before then."

"So, first of all, I want to get rid of the Magical Holy Grail that can quickly restore him to his prime. In this case, you should understand what I mean, right? Ms. Guinevere."

The Holy Grail of Magic!

The calm expression on Guinevere's face suddenly could no longer be maintained.

(This new God-Slayer actually already knows about the Magical Holy Grail? Could it be that the Black Prince told him? Or was it the White Princess?)

As several possibilities flashed through her mind, Guinevere's expression also became tense.

She was no match for the Godslayer.

If she had made adequate preparations, she could have dealt with the God Killer, but her current meeting with Ixia was something she had never expected, and she had not made any preparations at all.

If Alexia takes action now, she will be killed in an instant!

"But I am a pacifist."

Alexia stretched out her hand.

"Hand over the Holy Grail of Magic directly. That way I don't have to kill you. After all, if I have to say it, even though we are thousands of miles apart, there is some connection between you and me. For the sake of being my most trusted partner Come on, I don’t have to kill you completely. If you hand over the Magic Holy Grail, I will leave directly.”

[Master, you don’t need to make such concessions for me]

Arturia's voice sounded in Exia's heart.

[Although her name is Guinevere, I understood the moment we met that there is no similarity between her and the Guinevere I know. You don’t need to show mercy to her]

Not only now, but after Exia obtained the information about Guinevere before, Arturia naturally also learned about it at the same time.

After understanding Guinevere's deeds in this world, Arturia put away the personal thoughts in her heart that were caused by hearing Guinevere's name.

Even if they have the same name, the same person will not appear in different worlds. What interests her is just the name Guinevere. It doesn't matter who the other person is.

(Don't say that, just be peaceful if you can...Besides, I don't think she will just hand it over.)

From the very beginning, Exia could conclude that the possibility of Guinevere handing over the Magic Holy Grail on her own initiative was zero, and she was just talking for a moment.

So, as expected——

"I'm sorry, noble King of Knights, Guinevere cannot accept your request. The Holy Grail is a tool destined to be given to the king of Guinevere, and it is not a sacred thing that a Rakshasa Demon King like you can possess. .”

"I guess so."

The corners of Alexia's mouth drooped slightly, and a spell burst out from her body in an instant.

——[I am the shadow that swallows the world]

——[I am the light that covers the world]

The seventh incarnation·Light and Shadow!

"Buzz!"

The moment she used her incarnation, Exia suddenly pulled out the magic sword.

The ground beneath his and Guinevere's feet instantly turned into a dimensional passage that could swallow them both up, and the feeling of falling enveloped both of them at the same time!

A trace of panic immediately appeared on Guinevere's face!

(Is this... the power of the King of Knights?!)

"It would be troublesome to fight here. Let's change places, ma'am."

Alexia smiled.

Then he arrived in front of Guinevere in an instant, and struck her chest hard with the scabbard! The impact immediately caused Guinevere, who was trying to resist the falling feeling, to fall into the depths of the dimensional passage!

No matter how powerful the God of Disobedience was in the past, Guinevere is now just a divine ancestor. There is no comparison with the Godslayer and the God of Disobedience. She cannot even resist in the face of divine speed.

And very quickly, based on Alexia’s sense of time, less than three seconds had passed——

"Buzz!"

Swinging the sword to cut open the dimension again, Exia emerged from it, and her feet firmly stepped on the rather soft [surface].

Wow!

The sound of sea water surging in the wind reached my ears, and the vast sea surface came into Exiya's eyes like an unfolding picture scroll.

(Did you come to the sea?)

Exia didn't set a specific exit location. She just found a random place based on her feeling. She didn't expect that she would come directly from the fifth underground floor to the sea.

However, judging from the faint sight of land not far away, they probably haven't gone too far.

(It’s about eighty nautical miles from the shore, Prince. I have prepared a magic spell that will allow you to walk on the sea.)

(Well, thank you, Miss Aige.)

After stepping on the sea for a few times and feeling the special and wonderful touch on the soles of her feet, Alexia looked at Guinevere, who was also floating on the sea not far away: "I brought you here all of a sudden. Come, it may be a bit rude for a lady. But I am not a prince. I can't prepare a magic carriage to bring you here, so I can only use this rough method. Please forgive me, Ms. Guinevere. .”

"Ugh..."

Disgusting way of speaking.

It sounds very polite, but as long as you taste it a little, you can feel the strong sarcasm in it - Ixia's tone reminded Guinevere involuntarily of the equally disgusting person who controlled lightning and... The God-Slayer with great speed.

"If you get here, you don't have to worry about affecting the land. So...are you not ready to call out?"

Alexia asked.

"I know that there is always a God of disobedience by your side who protects you, right? Although it is easy to snatch the Magic Holy Grail from your hands, I don't think you will not resist. In this case, then It would be better to eliminate all your means of resistance from the beginning."

"So call out the man who is guarding you quickly, Madam Guinevere—call out Lancelot du Lac."

14. Today’s weather will turn from sunny to stormy

Guinevere has a patron saint.

This is also one of the information obtained from the underworld, and it is not the patron saint of Guinevere of the current generation, but the one who has existed in the world as a protector of the witch king and the ancestor of gods a long time ago. The patron saint of witches].

However, his main object of protection is only Guinevere. Whenever Guinevere begins to reincarnate, he will disappear and will not become active again until the new generation of Guinevere is reincarnated.

Hearing Alexia say this, Guinevere's expression became more serious and nervous.

(I didn’t expect that even uncle’s matter would be... But what he said is right. Now that the matter has come to this, I can only leave it to my uncle.)

"...Guinevere would like to thank the King of Knights for his tolerance and kindness. Then please forgive Guinevere for being rude - uncle! As you heard, please come out and protect Guinevere." Weier!"

It was not a word spirit, nor was it a powerful word, it was just an ordinary request.

But as Guinevere's words fell, a large amount of fog suddenly spurted out from behind her. It was like a thick fog that completely covered the lakeside in the early autumn morning.

And then, in the thick fog, Exia saw——

A knight in white heavy armor was sitting astride a white horse and galloped out of the fog with a magic gun in hand!

(coming!)

(Is it him?)

【.....can't be wrong】

(I feel it too...)

Almost at the same time, when they saw the white knight, Exia and the three women in him reacted one after another.

Exia's side as a god-slayer came alive immediately.

This is basically a physique that will only react when facing the God of Disobedience and the God-Slayer. Once it takes effect, it means that the object in front of you is undoubtedly a god.

Athena and Artoria's reactions were simpler.

(The white horse, the thick fog, and the gun... are unmistakable. They are Gang, who has an sworn hatred with me.)

[Sir Lancelot... In this world, are you also a knight with such a noble figure? 】

The White Knight - Lancelot du Lac.

"uncle!"

Guinevere cheered with joy.

The Knight of the Lake, who picked up the petite girl and put her on his white horse, with his head completely covered by a white helmet, seemed to have set his sights on Exia: "No need to worry, my dear daughter, anyone who wants to harm me Your people will all be defeated and annihilated!”

"Well! Guinevere has always believed that her uncle would come!"

【......】

(Um...are you okay? Liya.)

Looking at the scene in front of her, Ixia couldn't help but asked about her partner's situation with concern.
