Territory, Sheffield.
As the lord, Boggart stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance: "Galahad, why aren't you using that black cannon weapon?"
"I don't dare, I'm afraid it might destroy Britain," Mash replied with utmost seriousness.
Having lost her memories, she wasn't clear about what the black cannon truly was.
But her instincts told her that this weapon possessed a terrifying power capable of destroying the world.
Boggart didn't seem to mind: "This time, the queen has dispatched the Third Division, roughly two thousand troops. Unfortunately, they won't be able to breach our city walls, because they're made from the bark of the World Tree!"
"Oh, so the lord already has a plan for victory," Mash remarked with slight surprise.
She was the false Child of Prophecy.
This lord knew it better than anyone else.
Yet they unapologetically raised the banner of rebellion.
Boggart chuckled lightly: "Sixteen years ago, the clan leader of the Mirror Clan who could foresee the future left a prophecy—"
[The savior who will rescue Britain has been born, the true king who will defeat the false king shall eventually appear]
He began to recount the whole story.
In the prophecy, Queen Morgan was the evil, throne-usurping false king.
The true king was the prophesied child who had been born.
"Queen Morgan executed all the fairies born that year, yet some fairies still hid and protected the child."
Boggart said calmly, "No one doubted the prophecy. Do you know why?"
"Because that person could truly see the future?" Mash curiously replied.
"That's only one part of it. The main reason is that a world-ending calamity appears every thousand years."
Boggart gazed with complex emotions at the beautiful territory, "In each of these world-ending calamities, a powerful savior was born, named [Cernunnos]."
"He ended the wars, established the foundations of the six great clans, and was buried in the northernmost part of Britain after his death."
It could be said that without that savior, there would be no six great clans as they exist today.
Just as he was telling this story.
The judgment envoy dispatched by the queen arrived—
[By the Queen's command: Hand over the prophesied child, and you shall be granted freedom. Otherwise, the entire Sheffield shall be purified!]
Boggart naturally ignored this.
Not to mention that the person by his side wasn't the prophesied child at all.
If they really had the prophesied child, they would be even more protective.
"I have no prophesied child here, only resistance against the evil queen! We stand with the city—if we fall, the city falls with us!"
Boggart unapologetically replied.
The enemy forces descended.
Leading them were the three Fairy Knights of the Round Table.
Namely, Fairy Gawain, Fairy Tristan.
And, Fairy Knight Lancelot!
The first two fairy knights had already appeared in previous videos.
When the third knight appeared, it shocked all the onlookers.
Fairy Lancelot possessed snow-white long hair, a petite and adorable loli body, along with golden eyes.
The entire person appeared overwhelmingly cute, completely different from the previous two!
This excited onlookers worldwide—
[Holy crap, Fairy Lancelot is actually this cute?]
[This is insane, the iron-blooded tough guy Lancelot has turned into an adorable little loli, even cuter than his daughter Mash!]
[Ah, a maternal little loli, instantly transforming into Cao Cao's spirit! Mother-in-law, I adore you!]
[Get lost, draw your sword! Fairy Lancelot is mine!]
[I wonder how the real Lancelot would feel seeing the Lostbelt version of Lancelot.]
Fairy Lancelot.jpg
In the real Chaldea.
Mash blinked: "Fairy Lancelot looks like this?"
This is just too, too adorable!
Possessing cuteness comparable to Illya's, completely impossible to associate with that eyesore of a tough guy.
Most importantly.
Fairy Lancelot clearly appears much more normal compared to the other two.
Fairy Gawain is purely a brutal maniac, prone to complete berserk rampages.
Fairy Tristan even openly slaughtered fairies in the great hall, dancing while bathed in blood.
Fairy Lancelot, who looks as adorable as a little angel, stands out starkly among these perverts.
"I'm quite curious, if Lancelot has become like this, then what about Guinevere..."
Da Vinci stared at the screen with great interest.
In British history.
King Arthur Artoria married Guinevere under the pressure of countless subjects.
But both were girls and both were heterosexual, so they naturally couldn't truly be together.
The lonely and frustrated Guinevere was seduced by Lancelot.
This incident became the catalyst for the Round Table's disintegration.
Now the question arises.
With the Lostbelt's Lancelot having become like this, how could she possibly elope with Guinevere?
How would Galahad be born?
"Don't treat the Fairy Round Table Knights as the same people as the Pan-Human History Round Table Knights!"
Dr. Roman shook his head helplessly: "The Fairy Knights merely borrowed the names and fused with relevant spirit origins, but they're actually not the same individuals."
"To use an analogy, it's like when one voice actor voices both the Demon King and the Hero. Besides sharing the same voice, the two characters are completely different people!"
This is actually quite easy to understand.
But many people still deliberately make memes about it, making the voice actors so angry they can't help shouting—
[Stop always associating the characters with the voice actors!]
The relationship between Fairy Round Table Knights and Pan-Human History Round Table Knights is exactly like that.
Mash breathed a sigh of relief: "Indeed, we can't treat them as the same person... But having a terrifying father turn into a gentle, lovely mother is actually quite nice."
Lancelot's previous performance was too eye-burning.
A dignified iron-blooded tough man actually pretending to be a cute catgirl!
With Fairy Lancelot, there's absolutely no sense of incongruity - instead, she's wildly adored and pursued by countless people!
"So, does she recognize me as her daughter or not?"
Mash watched the screen with great anticipation.
In the Lostbelt, she was treated as "Galahad," precisely the biological daughter of the other party.
If they were to meet, would they have to stage a scene of parental affection and filial piety, fighting to the death?
She's not the rebellious knight Mordred, after all!
"This is really hard to say - she might want to kill you." Da Vinci gave an advance warning.
They're not the same person, and there wasn't even the affair with the queen.
Even if she meets Mash, there's an eighty percent chance she won't recognize her and would want to eliminate her!
...
War broke out.
The three Fairy Round Table Knights, commanding two thousand elite fairies, initiated the war.
The fairy army brought a series of siege weapons this time.
Enormous fireballs were recklessly bombarding the city walls, instantly piercing through the World Tree bark defenses!
Fairy Lancelot's petite, adorable figure flew above the territory, wantonly releasing silver sword beams in wild bombardment.
One after another, fairies from the Wind Clan flew into the sky, only to be effortlessly defeated by her.
No one could stop her!
Boggart fell into a rage: "You have weapons, but we have the Child of Prophecy's weapons too!"
Under his command.
The black cannon barrel belonging to Mash began to reveal its ferocious power.
Without Nameless's command seal energy infusion, and without Mash's personal control, it transformed into a different attack mode.
BOOM!
As Boggart pulled the trigger, black light wantonly swept across the entire battlefield, transforming into terrifying area-of-effect attacks.
The black light, like a deadly black hole, devoured everything in its path - buildings, fairies, city walls, and more.
A terrifying chasm stretching over ten kilometers long, hundreds of meters wide, and dozens of meters deep appeared in everyone's line of sight.
With a single strike, more than half of the fairy army brought by the Queen was annihilated!
Even the Fairy Knight Gawain was severely wounded under this bombardment, sent flying covered in wounds.
As the price.
A black, ferocious hole appeared in Barguzin's chest as well.
This devastating blow was clearly executed at the cost of his life!
Barguzin gazed into the distance with fanatical fervor: "Do you see? We can definitely win! Hold steady, we can defeat Morgan!"
Unfortunately, there would be no future.
His massive body collapsed heavily to the ground, completely lifeless.
The fairies under the Queen's command stormed into the castle, unleashing indiscriminate slaughter.
Mash's eyes welled with tears: "Why must we kill each other? Why harm others?"
After losing her memories, her heart had become exceptionally pure and untainted.
She simply could not tolerate such mutual slaughter.
However.
This was war!
A life-and-death struggle!
The only city in the Fairy Kingdom where humans and fairies lived together in peace and prosperity was thus plunged into destructive warfare.
Mash had no choice but to raise her shield and begin defending against the fairy army intent on slaughtering the territory's residents.
She unleashed formidable power.
Causing the fairy soldiers to exclaim in alarm: "Be careful! She's a Fairy Knight!"
Under such overwhelming strength, the fairies couldn't breach her defense at all.
Hum~
A silver sword light descended from the sky, crashing violently against Mash's shield.
Sending the petite shield maiden stumbling back several steps.
The Fairy Lancelot had made her move!
Hovering in the air, she spoke with complete impassivity: "Submit to the Queen, hand over the Child of Prophecy, or—die!"
Even when looking at Mash, there wasn't the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"I can go with you, but I'm not the Child of Prophecy." Mash gazed sorrowfully at her opponent.
Though countless fairies regarded her as their savior, she had brought destruction upon this beautiful city where humans and fairies coexisted harmoniously.
Plunging her into profound grief, utterly unable to forgive herself.
"If you're not the Child of Prophecy, then die!"
The fairy Lancelot coldly launched her attack, her Noble Phantasm fully unleashed—
[Innocence Arondight, the Uncharted Purity!]
A sword beam hundreds of meters long rippled like lake water, descending from the sky with an edge capable of tearing everything apart.
This strike would utterly erase the entire castle!
"No! I won't allow you to slaughter the innocent any longer. I will protect everyone!"
Mash raised her shield, but after losing her memories, she couldn't summon the shield's true power at all.
Unable to manifest the walls of Camelot, she naturally couldn't block this annihilating sword light.
At this critical moment.
A golden shield erupted, transforming into an enormous golden dome that shielded Mash and the territory above.
It was none other than the [Shield of Athena]!
Nameless had rushed all the way from a distant city, finally finding the lost little shield maiden!
He smiled and asked, "Hey, do you still remember me?"
"Y-Your name..."
Mash stared blankly at him.
For the past two days, she had woken up every morning weeping for no apparent reason.
The dreams she should have had remained utterly unreachable, no matter how hard she tried.
She knew she shouldn't forget, yet she had forgotten everything completely.
The youth before her bathed in golden sunlight, his smile radiant: "Mash, I found you."
Boom!
As the youth spoke her name, endless memories exploded violently in Mash's mind.
Tears instantly streamed down her face as she flung herself toward him:
"Senpai, I see you again!!!"
With her memories restored, the little shield maiden burst into tears.
The onlookers were also deeply moved—
[They're finally reunited! Let's celebrate with cheers! The little shield maiden has been through so much!]
[A bond that transcends time and forgotten memories has brought them together again!]
[Wahh, I'm crying instantly. I'm really happy for the little shield maiden!]
[Did everyone forget the imminent threat? Fairy Lancelot still wants to kill Mash!]
[Not just Fairy Lancelot—there's also Gawain and Tristan. The three fairy knights could end everything in an instant!]
...
In the Fuyuki Hotel.
Mordred curled her lips: "Damn it, this guy never came looking for me back then!"
That bastard Nameless claimed she was his most precious treasure but kept avoiding her.
But for Mash, he traveled across vast distances to meet her proactively.
The difference in treatment was just too extreme!
"Can't be helped. Who told you to be a rebellious brat?" Gawain said with clear disdain.
During the Battle of Camlann, this troublemaker completely destroyed Britain, staging a heartwarming father-child reunion with King Arthur.
Now, while Mash confronts Fairy Lancelot, countless onlookers are comparing it to the Battle of Camlann.
Mordred rolled her eyes: "Hah, potato spirit, you're beyond redemption!"
This Sun Knight was a major antagonist in the Singularity and remains one in the Lostbelt.
There's simply no saving him!
Look, he's still planning to kill Nameless and the King even now.
"Say it again—that isn't me!" Gawain protested indignantly.
That version has an enormous bust—how could it be a rugged man like him?
Unfortunately, no matter how many times he emphasized this, it was useless.
The fairy Gawain from the Lostbelt was still considered another form of him.
"Useless! Useless! Useless! Just wait to be slain by Nameless's sword!"
Mordred said with sheer schadenfreude.
In this Lostbelt, her father King Artoria was still a 16-year-old girl, so naturally there was no chance for her to appear.
After all, she couldn't possibly be older than her father, right?
Thus, she didn't need to worry about any embarrassing dark history of her own, and could simply enjoy the show peacefully.
Watching the Round Table Knights make fools of themselves had gotten her absolutely exhilarated!
"..."
Gawain fell into silence, unable to refute.
It was over.
Now, all that remained was waiting to be defeated by Nameless in various ways!
So frustrating!
Please, other me, at least cripple Nameless once!
...
The video continued.
After Nameless made his entrance.
Fairy Lancelot's gaze suddenly focused on him: "You are Chaldea's Master Fujimaru Ritsuka?"
"Yes, that's me." Nameless openly admitted.
He put away the [Athena's Shield] and materialized Excalibur in his hand.
In swordsmanship, he believed he was second to none.
"Hmm, that sword in your hand..."
Fairy Lancelot grew increasingly suspicious and uncertain.
Even though she had never seen the sword before, it gave her an instinctive sense of familiarity.
She frowned and stared intently: "Could this be a projection of the Star Holy Sword?"
"Yes, it originates from the true Noble Phantasm of the King of Britain."
Nameless replied, then pointed at the small shield girl beside him, "Then, do you know who she is?"
"I don't know."
Fairy Lancelot answered without hesitation.
No matter what was said, this was her first time meeting the other party, so she genuinely didn't recognize her.
Since she wasn't the [Child of Prophecy], she had nothing to do with her.
Then.
She saw the young man before her smile and say: "You should know her."
"But I don't. Enough, come with me. The Queen wishes to see you."
Fairy Lancelot didn't even glance at the small shield girl, her burning gaze fixed solely on Nameless.
This Chaldea Master was equally as important as the [Child of Prophecy].
Queen Morgan had ordered that he must be captured alive and brought before her.
Yet Nameless remained unhurried as he said: "You've fused with Lancelot's Saint Graph, so you should be able to access the corresponding memories. This girl is essentially your daughter."
"Memories? Daughter?"
Fairy Lancelot, who had been preparing to strike, abruptly halted her movements.
Her soft, cute little face fell into deep contemplation.
She was originally a powerful fairy who had been granted the name [Lancelot].
After receiving the name, she fused with the Heroic Spirit Saint Graph from Proper Human History, causing her power to surge once more.
She had completely become the Lancelot of this Lostbelt.
Following Nameless's reminder, she for the first time began tracing through the Saint Graph to search for the corresponding memories.
Countless memory scenes emerged, depicting the life of the one called [Lancelot].
That person was born in France but joined the Round Table Knights of Britain, swearing loyalty to Artoria.
However, he had an affair with Queen Guinevere, which led to the destruction of the Round Table Knights.
After becoming a Heroic Spirit, burdened with endless pain and regret, he turned into a berserker who lost his sanity.
Then various other incidents occurred.
"Eh, what's that?"
Fairy Lancelot suddenly noticed a particular memory.
It was the most important memory of the other "him," about needing to please a so-called daughter.
Guided by a certain pink-haired cross-dressing knight, he put on an adorable catgirl cosplay outfit.
He ran up to Mash and flaunted his body while saying: "Mash, it's your daddy~"
The little shielder's expression instantly froze, plunging into extreme shock and despair.
Fairy Lancelot returned from her memories, looking at the little shielder before her with complicated emotions.
Now, she was certain that guy was a terrifying perverted bastard!
She had originally admired him so much!
Poor little girl, just how much damage had she suffered from witnessing that scene.
Right at that moment.
The uploader [Alaya] very thoughtfully displayed the relevant memory scenes she had seen in the video.
In the displayed memory scenes:
The strong and burly Knight of the Lake, Lancelot, wore an eyesore-inducing catgirl cosplay outfit and excitedly ran up to Mash.
Under the little shielder's utterly shocked gaze, he said: "Mash, it's your daddy~"
