The next day, on the streets of Fuyuki City.
Manaka sweetly clung to Aslan's arm.
As a reward for Manaka, Aslan agreed to go on a date with her for the day.
As for Sakura, she was handed over to Merlin to be taught some basic Magecraft and knowledge.
After all, this useless Incubus had Hero Creation EX—might as well make use of him.
Of course, this was Sakura's own decision. Aslan didn't know what Sakura and Manaka had discussed.
Sakura also voluntarily let go of Aslan and went to study. She knew she was just a burden to him.
Whereas Manaka could help Aslan.
Besides, she was still very young.
"Ah, my prince, open your mouth."
Manaka skewered a takoyaki and fed it into Aslan's mouth with her hand.
Then she skewered one for herself and ate it.
Seemingly, that was enough to make her happy.
"Lia, what's that? It smells delicious?"
As Aslan and Manaka were on their date, two clear voices rang in their ears.
Not far away, a beautiful silver-haired woman like a doll stood curiously at the stall where Aslan and Manaka had just bought takoyaki.
"Irisviel, this seems to be a local snack here. It's called takoyaki."
A "young man" with a small frame and golden ponytail, standing beside the silver-haired woman.
The "young man" wore a neat suit, with a firm, sharp gaze—as if he were a bodyguard protecting the childlike person beside him.
Aslan recognized their identities and could only say they had fate. He hadn't expected to meet Saber here.
Artoria Pendragon and Irisviel von Einzbern.
"Lia, can we buy a little to try?"
Irisviel opened her shining eyes, speaking as if drool was dripping.
Though the Einzbern family's treatment was quite good, was there any rule about food for Homunculi?
It could be said to be food, but more like nutrition.
Artoria hesitated for a moment, then nodded seriously. Whether it was just his imagination or not, Aslan seemed to see Saber swallow her saliva just now.
She definitely wanted it, for sure!
"Proper supplies are also essential before the final battle."
Artoria nodded firmly, as if making an excuse, or as if convincing herself.
At this moment, Saber's will seemed to resonate with Irisviel's.
Both happily bought a portion of takoyaki and ate it joyfully.
They even fed each other without the slightest guilt.
It was just eating a snack. What was there to feel guilty about?
"My prince, what were you looking at just now?"
Manaka asked with great curiosity. She also seemed to have noticed Artoria and Irisviel's movements earlier.
"Ssh, we're watching Team Saber. The one in the suit earlier was Saber."
Aslan said softly, also signaling Manaka to move more quietly.
Only they might not realize it. On the contrary, by doing so, their movements became more obvious and drew more attention.
But to others, this was just interaction between a couple.
"Irisviel, it seems someone is secretly watching us."
After Artoria finished the remaining takoyaki in three bites, she spoke with great vigilance.
She didn't even notice the food remnants left at the corner of her mouth.
"Ah? Really?"
Irisviel said with a confused expression. Weren't they just off the plane?
They'd already been noticed by another team's Master so quickly.
But Artoria couldn't care that much. She immediately pulled Irisviel's hand and walked toward a quieter place.
Irisviel also didn't forget to use Magecraft to disperse the ordinary people there, so they wouldn't be affected.
"It seems we've been found out?"
Aslan shook his head helplessly, then held Manaka's hand and walked out from behind the lamppost.
Manaka's face still held traces of joy and excitement, and a slight smile showed she hadn't had enough fun.
After all, secretly stalking others with her prince—this was too exciting.
It was truly a feeling she'd never experienced before.
If they hadn't been found out, she'd do it again next time.
Manaka was extremely satisfied with this date.
"Hello, are you also a knight come to deal with the Outer-Demon God?"
Aslan smiled and waved at them. He looked very radiant.
After all, he was a god's follower of the Sun Star Spirit—how could he not be radiant?
He looked like, no, he was a straight, noble knight.
"I am Arthur Pendragon, come with the Holy Sword of the Star to eliminate the Outer-Demon God."
"What about you?"
As he spoke, Aslan immediately manifested his Spiritual Origin. A beautiful knight's armor and a magnificent golden longsword appeared in his hand.
Knight's armor, a beautiful longsword, combined with his handsome face, tall posture, and a faint royal aura around him.
Perhaps no one was more suited to be Arthur, the King of Knights, than him.
Aslan's actions also shocked Artoria and Irisviel.
Saber was speechless for a moment. Though she knew there might be other versions of herself in parallel worlds, it was still somewhat difficult to accept a male version of herself suddenly appearing.
Wait, a male version? How was that possible? How could there be a male King Arthur?
Almost all Artorias felt doubtful about their lives. After all, if Arthur were male, the relationship between Guinevere and Lancelot would never have happened.
"Lia, aren't you King Arthur?"
Irisviel asked unconsciously. She had seen Artoria's Servant status board.
She clearly remembered—Artoria was King Arthur.
"A joke. How could a prince be a girl?"
Hearing Irisviel's words, Manaka couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing Manaka's mockery, Artoria also couldn't hold back.
As the noble and proud King of Knights, she wouldn't let anyone tarnish her dignity.
"Why can't King Arthur be a girl?"
As she spoke, the Mana around Artoria surged. Armor resembling a cloak appeared on her body.
While the longsword in her hand was wrapped in Invisible Air, making people unable to see its shape or judge its length.
"Or would you like to test the sword spoken of by the girl in your mouth?"
