163 – In England – 4
“That’s Big Ben!”
“Wow. Cool.”
“This is the British Museum!”
“Oooh…!!”
“This is Buckingham Palace!!”
“Awesome?!”
It is not possible to see all the sights of London in one day. However, it is quite amazing to see in person places that I have only seen on the Internet so far.
“And this is London’s best restaurant!”
“…A French restaurant?”
“Oh ho ho… Actually, British cuisine itself isn’t very tasty.”
At lunchtime, I went to a famous French restaurant in London and had lunch.
It sure is delicious. I don’t even know the name of the dish.
If it wasn’t for Elizabeth, I don’t think I would have been able to order properly.
Anyway, it wasn’t a bad tour.
“Is there a place you would like to visit?”
Elisabeth asked while eating lunch and eating a simple ice cream on a bench.
It’s a place I want to go… Yes. Let’s go there while we’re here.
“I want to see Stonehenge.”
“Hmm? Stonehenge?”
“Yes. Isn’t there a gate over there?”
“There is, but…”
An event to find Excalibur at Stonehenge begins.
If you write a specific rune word in a specific location there, space and space are connected and you can get an item.
It’s simply an event item, but its performance isn’t bad, so it’s good to get it while you’re there.
“Hmm… There shouldn’t be much to see there. No one there…”
Tilting her head, she murmured softly, then looked at me startled. And she smirked and smiled very happily.
What is it? Why does it feel like a carnivore is staring at me?!
“Yes! If you really want to go, feel free to go!!”
Just a moment ago, he didn’t seem to like it, but his attitude changed in an instant. What?
She went with her to her gate anyway, and when she passed through her gate, she could see Stonehenge in the distance.
“Wow! There are no people and it’s nice! It looks like we rented this place!”
I walked slowly from the gate and headed towards Stonehenge. When we arrived at the plain where the megaliths were placed, a cool breeze enveloped us.
“Isn’t it amazing? That they built such huge structures on a plain like this.”
“That’s right. Ah. Let’s go over there.”
“Ohohohohoho!! I like it!”
I walked around Stonehenge with Elizabeth. It must have been around here…
It was then. Elizabeth violently grabbed her arm and pushed her against the wall. The softness and sweet scent of her body made my mind wander.
“Ho-ho-ho… John?”
“Huh? Uh, hmm. Are your eyes a bit scary?”
It has a kind expression as usual, but its eyes are burning. Elizabeth, who was watching me eagerly like a lioness before her prey, slowly stroked her cheek and smiled seductively.
“There’s no one here?”
“Yeah, but…”
“Mmm.”
Elizabeth gently closed her eyes. She seemed to know what she wanted. That’s why I lightly kissed her thick lips, and Elizabeth smiled bashfully as if she was satisfied.
“Not enough!”
You’re not satisfied!
Elizabeth grabbed my face and lifted her tiptoe, snatching her lips. With her body in contact with her, holding her tight enough to make it difficult to move, she trampled on the inside of her mouth.
“Ha ha… Ha ha…”
A silver thread snaps between the lips that slowly fell apart. Her blazing gaze grew stronger, and a sweet scent wafted from her beautiful body touching mine.
“Hohohoho!! How is it?!”
“Nice… Did you practice?”
It was such an ecstasy that it really made her head spin. It literally feels like the inside of her mouth has been completely taken over.
“Yes! Of course!! I practiced! Ho ho. You know what?! If you can tie her cherry stem with your tongue, you can be a very good kisser!!”
“Oh. Oh oh…”
“I’ve been eating only cherries lately!!”
Come to think of it, I ate cherries as a snack yesterday too. Elizabeth smiled coquettishly and took her lips again.
After kissing her several times until she was out of breath, she was finally satisfied and let me go.
“I was going to hold back, but you asked me to go somewhere out of the way! John is bad! Got it?!”
For something like that, I really liked it. Elizabeth smiled mischievously, putting her hand on her waist.
“Come on! I’m sorry to ask you to come to a place where there are no people like this!”
“Wow! Shameless!”
“Ohohohoho! This is what nobles have!”
Amused, Elizabeth casually crossed her arms.
She had no hesitation in sticking with her, perhaps because she hadn’t been able to live in the Taylor family’s mansion until now.
“Okay. I think I’ve seen Stonehenge. Shall we go somewhere else? Salisbury is close from here! There’s a great cafe there! And there’s a lot of deserted places!”
Like a gentle smile and seduction, no, they are seducing. It’s a very attractive proposal, but we came here for a reason, so let’s start with that.
“Hmm. Wait a minute. I’ve researched something too.”
I headed for the center of Stonehenge, recalling the Academy Library, the records the heroes had left while visiting the ruins, and other records I had checked in my previous life. And.
“What are you doing?”
I carved runes on the floor with the arrow I brought. It must have been this, right?
The moment the ten runes are carved into the ground, a soft light emanates from the runes.
As Elizabeth watched her moan, I reached out my hand to her.
“According to the records, Merlin built Stonehenge to honor the dead. Now, who is the most famous of the dead in the Arthurian legend?”
“Uh… Lancelot? No. Gawain? If you consider the whole narrative…”
“Then who isn’t dead?”
“As expected… King Arthur, right? After suffering a near-death wound, the Lady of the Lake sent her to Avalon, a paradise where there are no real pains such as death and aging.”
As expected, I know it well. Nodding her head at her curiously watching her runes, I placed her hand on the stone of Stonehenge.
“There was a story in the past that death and life are the same, like reflections in a mirror. They are the same, but eternity is like an unreachable boundary.”
“Hmm…”
“In other words, since King Arthur was neither dead nor alive, he was able to enter Avalon, a paradise without death and pain. What about them? Did King Arthur really want to abandon them and exist alone in Avalon?”
Remembering the record, I reached out to Elizabeth.
“Why?”
“Do you have a mirror?”
“Oh. Here.”
Elizabeth handed over one of her small hand mirrors. Upon receiving it, I placed the mirror on top of the runes.
I adjusted the angle of the mirror so that the light that touched the mirror spread all over the place and sequentially reflected it on Stonehenge.
“There is a theory that Stonehenge is a milestone that Merlin made for the dead. If so, where does the milestone end? And who are the dead people Merlin spoke of?”
How many times has Stonehenge been illuminated?
I placed the mirror as it was in the air, and the mirror that floated in the air wrapped in the light of the rune began to spin and scatter light in one place.
“Look at that.”
Me and Elizabeth turned our gaze to the mirror’s light. There, a fragment of something that apparently did not exist before was placed on the floor.
[Fragment of the scabbard]
[Merlin asked the king whether he liked the sword or the scabbard. The king said without hesitation that the sword was more important, but Merlin said that the scabbard was ten times more important than the sword, and she told me about the scabbard.]
[Recovers HP at a slow speed when holding]
[Recovers magic at a slow speed while holding]
[Recovers energy at a slow speed when holding]
[Injury recovery while holding]
[Increases HP by 1 when holding]
It’s just a fragment, but it’s a considerable performance.
Although it is said to be slow, it means that you can recover steadily just by holding it.
This was one of the must-have equipment in Hero Academia because it could replenish magic and energy while moving in dungeons and ruins, and also recover from injuries.
And I put it on Elizabeth’s hand.
“Huh? Uhhhhh?! This, this. This can’t be!”
“It’s a fragment of Excalibur’s scabbard. Merlin hoped to use this to help the Knights of the Round Table who couldn’t make it to Avalon go there.”
“That means…”
“Excalibur belongs to the Lady of the Lake. And the Lady of the Lake is the guardian of Avalon.”
In other words, you have to go through this event or another event to get a scabbard fragment to find Excalibur.
Of course I can’t go now.
You must be at least S-class to take on this next challenge.
In fact, after seeing the ending in the game, I could only go there to find the remaining artifacts as an adventure.
“Yeah, but why are you giving this to me?”
I would have it if it boosted my spirits, but it’s not like that.
If Elizabeth, who also serves as a melee dealer, has it, it will recover her physical strength, magic power, and energy in a small but stable way. It is a waste item for a buffer.
“As you said, we are going to be a family.”
The important thing is to increase the power of the party.
“I’m going to have a lot of trouble in the future. I’m going to prepare for that time. My buff is also buffed…”
The ruins to go to meet Azazel are quite difficult. Unlike me, who only needs buffs from behind, Elizabeth and others have to suffer.
So I have to take care of it like this as much as possible so that I can be comfortable too.
And if you have that, you don’t have to worry about Elizabeth’s injuries to some extent…
“…John!!”
She stared blankly at me, then Elizabeth hugged me tightly.
“Really!! You surprise people every time!”
“Why are you angry when you like it?”
“Ugh… That’s true.”
She didn’t let go of me as she hugged me. She kissed me lightly on the lips and said,
“Seriously. How am I supposed to repay you? Do you want something? Because I can do anything you want…”
“There are ruins I need to go to later. You can go with me then.”
“That’s the thing to do!”
“And… Um… I hope you don’t get hurt.”
Elizabeth sighed and held my hand tightly.
“That’s what I want to say too.”
