Day broke. The appearance of the first ray of sunlight was like a signal, making this world, which had been stagnant due to the night, start to operate again.
Artoria successfully returned to her small kingdom before the sun had fully risen. She saw the early-rising farmers and greeted these hardworking people with a smiling expression; she also saw the logging team returning from outside—the leader, Sir Kay, looked at her with a rather resentful gaze, as if to say, "If you don't give me a few days off, I'll just run away."
"You snuck out again last night." Looking at the holy sword on Artoria's back, Kay suddenly said.
Sometimes, Artoria really suspected if her foster brother also had a skill like "clairvoyance"—or if he had a special ability to "judge whether his little sister had snuck out in the middle of the night." But, was it really necessary to use this skill on her?
"Hmph, do I even need to ask? Your whole body is exuding a scent of 'so happy, I really want to see a certain person again'—no, you didn't just see one person last night. You should have seen three people—two of whom were women, and the other should be that white dragon, right?"
Kay just sniffed lightly and made a very certain judgment. To this, Artoria could only express her admiration.
"Smelling a woman's scent... can't you use your ability in the right place, Brother Kay!"
"I'm so sorry, I can't use this ability to build this kingdom for you—do you think I would say that? You're killing me!"
A daily bickering session, but it made Artoria feel strangely moved. Even after she became a king, Kay's sharp tongue had not changed at all—this made her realize that her naturally unrestrained brother was definitely not following her for the so-called "noble knightly dream."
"To be honest, although I do think that ideal of yours is very foolish. But I can't help it, I can't just leave you alone, can I? If I ran back by myself, the old man would definitely break my legs." Kay scratched his head, pretending to be very troubled. But in the next instant, as if he had discovered something, he suddenly stood up straight—a very standard knightly posture.
"Good morning, my King."
Another knight walked out of the room. He was wearing a suit of silver-white armor. Both his attire and his walking posture perfectly matched the etiquette of a knight, perfect to the point of being impeccable.
"And Sir Kay, you've worked hard too. I have already instructed the kitchen to prepare meat soup for you. You can rest for a while before it's ready."
The model of a perfect knight—Bedivere greeted Kay with a rather friendly expression. To this, Kay was a little helpless, but had to accept this knight's "good intentions."
—Hey, hey, from what you're saying, does that mean I have to continue working after drinking the meat soup? Damn it! Where did all these hardworking, unpaid laborers come from?!
...
A new day began. Just like every day that had passed before, this was actually a very ordinary day. But this kingdom was also growing little by little in these countless "ordinary days and nights."
But, then again, although it was the same day, for some "people," this day was very extraordinary.
"So, are you ready?"
Shiroryu flew in the sky, and below him was a piece of black land like a desert, and scattered on this black desert were "oases" of various sizes.
This was not the world of the living. This was the reverse side of the world, or in the words of a magus, the "back" of the world. This was a conceptual problem. If you look at the surface of the earth as a piece of paper, then humans live on the front of the surface, and fantastical species like fairies have returned to the back of the world. Then there are the divisions of the earth's rock and soil layer, lava layer, core, and so on.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand this concept. You can just understand it as something similar to the different dimension where "monster spirits" are in "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX"—anyway, that's how Shiroryu understood it.
And while Artoria was building her kingdom, he was not idle either. He came to this back of the world, found the place where the fairies lived, and "persuaded" them as much as possible to join this newly established [Holy Britannia].
In the face of Shiroryu's sincere request, most of the fairies were very cooperative—of course, there were also a small number of ignorant guys, but they no longer existed.
"This level... is already the limit."
Shiroryu looked at the world in front of him. He had occupied most of this reverse world as much as possible, but there were still two "forbidden places" that he, no, it should be said that he would absolutely not want to touch in the future either.
One was an isolated island shrouded in gray mist, surrounded by black seawater. On the island, there were seven tall city walls, and in the center of the city walls, there was a city. That was the kingdom of the dead, which rejected all living beings—of course, the living would absolutely not want to go to that kind of place to find trouble for themselves.
The other area was filled with black mud. That was the despair and curse that had been nurtured with this island since its birth. Similarly, no life would be willing to fall into that kind of dirty and filthy place.
"I can only expand to here. Let's go back, Vivian and the others should be ready."
Vivian, the Lady of the Lake, and also the leader of the fairies—but that was in the past. With Shiroryu's strong arrival, this Lady of the Lake, who was very good at hiding her tracks, had to show her form from the magical lake. And she also had to hand over some "treasures" that were crucial to Britain, and even the whole world, to Shiroryu.
"Lord Dragon God, please follow me."
The barefoot Lady of the Lake walked on the soft grass, leading Shiroryu to a tall tower that emitted a white light. This was the first, and also the most important treasure that the Lady of the Lake was preparing to hand over to Shiroryu.
The Tower of Brilliance that shines at the end of the world, the pillar that anchors the surface of the world—Rhongomyniad.
"Please take it, Lord Dragon God. Only you are worthy of being its true master."
The Lady of the Lake looked at this god who had manifested in the form of a white dragon with a very expectant gaze, as if she were looking forward to something happening.
But, unfortunately, Shiroryu also knew what she was looking forward to.
"Do you think I'm easy to deceive, Vivian? Or should I call you—Morrigan?"
