"Did something happen over there?"
Takumi subconsciously thought that something had happened in the Harry Potter world.
After all, it was hard to imagine that Artoria would seek him out for other things. She was a very career-minded person.
Artoria nodded and immediately took Takumi's hand. "Come to my room and chat."
Now that she had rebuilt Camelot and fulfilled her long-cherished wish, she was not as restrained emotionally as before. She had completely accepted Takumi, so she could take the initiative to engage in some intimate actions. Seeing this, Takumi did not refuse.
The two of them came to Artoria's room.
This was a room that had been expanded by the Undetectable Extension Charm. In other words, the rooms in the private areas on the fifth and sixth floors of the City Lord's Mansion were basically treated in this way. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.
Especially the rooms on the fifth floor. The doors were only a few meters apart. They looked small from the outside, but there were hundreds of square meters of space inside, big enough to fit a presidential suite.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Takumi never treated his own people poorly in terms of material comfort. Every room was very luxurious, and the interior decoration was no worse than that of a suite. The two of them came to the small living room in the room and sat down. Artoria was right next to Takumi, almost close enough to hug him.
Seeing no one around, Takumi simply put his arms around her slender waist.
Unlike other people around Takumi, Artoria was the same as Riveria, Hephaestus, and Kanae—relatively thin-skinned in this regard.
If there were other people present, even if the other person was one of them, they would be embarrassed to engage in any overly intimate interaction with Takumi.
In this regard, Takumi also expressed his understanding and respect for their boundaries and would not cross the line in public.
But in private... Hehe...
Artoria sensed Takumi's movements and did not struggle. She even took the initiative to move over a little and leaned directly against Takumi.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Can't I come to you if nothing is happening?"
"Yes, I have learned how to talk about love. It seems that my previous efforts were not in vain."
"...Well, I do have something to discuss with you."
With a few simple words, Artoria, who was not proficient in this art, was defeated and started to talk about business.
It was about the Camelot Dynasty in the world of Harry Potter.
Even though the development there seemed to be going smoothly, in fact, there were quite a few hidden problems.
The most important thing was Great Britain's legacy.
As a former tyrant in the modern global village and a troublemaker in the world, Great Britain had done countless bad things. Anyone who could be offended had basically been offended at some point. In the global village, it could be said that they were full of evil and hateful to both gods and ghosts.
They belonged to the kind of people who, if they dared to go out in alleys, might be jumped by unknown assailants. If there was a party where they weren't invited, they would definitely be the uninvited guests.
And Artoria's new Camelot dynasty essentially took over Great Britain's mantle, and naturally suffered from the legacy of this political baggage.
So much so that Artoria wanted to flex her muscles and implement some reforms to solve internal problems and make this new Camelot better, but she had been greatly hindered.
The biggest resistance was diplomacy and foreign trade cooperation.
In addition to the Rabbit (China), not many people in the global village were willing to deal with Camelot.
Even with the Rabbit, the relationship was not necessarily that good.
The main reason was that in the Eight-Nation Alliance back then, Great Britain was the main leader and the main force in that operation.
Based on this, the Rabbit and Great Britain had a feud that could never be fully reconciled.
Even if they took the initiative to return the port, Camelot's predecessor, Great Britain, still owed the Rabbit many other debts.
As we all know, the Rabbit is one of the most vindictive entities in the global village.
Do you think he has let go of the past? In fact, he just wrote down every account in a small book and will not retaliate against you for the time being.
With the relationship between Camelot and Great Britain, which could be said to have the same roots, it was impossible for the Rabbit to cancel the debt!
Even if Camelot treated the Rabbit very well, at most they could only be friendly acquaintances. The Rabbit would not add insult to injury when Camelot was in trouble in the future.
But if you wanted to have a strong relationship, it was almost impossible to be as close as the Rabbit and the Little Sheep (Pakistan).
Therefore, Camelot's situation was not as good as it seemed on the surface. In addition, with the previous enmity with Eagle Sauce (USA), it was basically walking a tightrope.
Of course, it was a bit exaggerated to say this.
After all, although Great Britain had gone from the empire on which the sun never sets to a sunset empire, some of the foundations were still there, and life wasn't miserable, but it was difficult to reverse the decline.
What Artoria was mainly doing now was stopping Camelot's decline.
"The magic industry alone is not enough. After all, only a small number of people can participate in magic-related industries. Camelot also needs to continue to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."
Takumi nodded. "I understand. Tell me, what kind of support do you want?"
Hearing this, how could Takumi not understand that Artoria was here to solicit sponsorship?
"Of course, there are as many as you want."
Artoria implied that children only make choices, and she wanted everything.
Then, without waiting for Takumi to think about it, she turned around and sat in his lap.
"You..."
"What I understand is that only when you become one of your own can you be qualified to receive so much support. I agree with this; it is very reasonable."
Now that she had accepted Takumi, Artoria had nothing to hesitate about. After saying that, she sealed Takumi's lips with hers.
Takumi couldn't help but be stunned by her sudden movement. After reacting, his resolve hardened, and he quickly counterattacked, taking control of Artoria.
"You all have gone too far. You all like to make sneak attacks. You think I am critically ill."
After that, he got into position and started his "workout."
The next scene was too intense, so I won't describe it in detail.
The result was naturally another woman who overestimated her own abilities and was severely defeated by Takumi's "boxing skills." There was no use even begging for mercy; he just kept going until she fainted.
...
The next morning, Takumi was woken up by Ann in a daze.
"Good morning, Master."
"Um..."
Takumi rubbed his eyes and turned around to see that the space beside him was empty. The "prisoner" who had provoked him yesterday was gone.
He didn't pay much attention. He got up and started dressing and washing under the service of Ann and the two Oni maids.
But after he washed his face and woke up completely, he immediately realized something was wrong.
"Wait! This isn't my bedroom. How did you know I was here?"
Someone finally remembered, because this time he finally got what he wanted. He accidentally got too obsessed with punishing the prisoner and spent the night in someone else's room. He couldn't help but look at Ann with some doubts.
But as he asked this question, he already had some guesses in his mind and felt something was wrong.
Ann said quietly, "Lady Riveria told us."
Hearing this, someone started to sweat and quickly asked, "Did she say anything else?"
Well, it seemed that he... probably... should... have stood someone else up...
