Reborn in Type-Moon, My Sister is Aoko Aozaki

The evening breeze blew gently, bringing with it a sense of comfort. It sobered up Gawain, who had been slightly drunk after the victory feast, and at the same time, he began to think about new ways to make mashed potatoes.

But just then, a voice that seemed like an illusion suddenly sounded behind him.

"I will never forgive those who betray me..."

The hairs on Gawain's entire body stood on end. The effects of the alcohol vanished completely. He subconsciously whipped his head around, a look of disbelief on his face.

"—Mother?!"

However, there was no one behind him, only a wisp of the evening breeze blowing gently past.

Meanwhile, at a certain tavern outside the castle, Merlin, reeking of alcohol and his face flushed red, walked out. It was clear he had been doing more than just drinking.

"Alright, alright, I know, Cath Palug. I won't leave you behind next time; I'll take you with me. But if my boy finds out, he'll probably get angry, won't he?"

Faced with the small animal on his shoulder, which was continuously hitting his face with its soft paws to express its dissatisfaction, Merlin could only speak helplessly. Speaking of which, he had originally thought that the creature, currently named Fou, would have stayed by the boy's side after becoming so close to him. Who would have known that perhaps it had sensed his own inner nature—a similarity to its own currently empty emotions—and would occasionally follow him out.

But it was also possible that its previous behavior wasn't just closeness, but submission.

The thought flashed through Merlin's mind, but he immediately shook his head with a smile and denied it. In his view, it was probably because Fou felt that the boy's daily life was too regular and a bit boring, which was why it would occasionally join him to look at their surroundings from another perspective.

"Fou~ Fou!"

Fou responded simply to Merlin's words, and the white-haired magus immediately understood, laughing in realization. "You're right. That child doesn't understand those things, so he wouldn't get angry. But let's talk about this next time. As for now..."

Merlin looked in the direction of the distant castle, thinking to himself that he should go back and properly set up the castle's barriers. But before he could take a step, as if he had seen something astonishing, the smile on his face froze.

"This is bad. It seems I've accidentally let a troublesome woman in. But it's too late to stop her now. If I go back, Lily is definitely going to fly into a rage again..."

Merlin thought about countermeasures with a bit of a headache. Finally, he turned his head to look at the tavern behind him and said to Fou on his shoulder, "You know what, let's just go back and drink some more. We'll go back tomorrow morning!"

As he spoke, the man once again entered the tavern he had just left, as if he were running away from his responsibilities.

And on the other side, in a gloomy forest, Morgan rode a black steed, galloping through the dense woods, her pretty face under the black veil filled with resentment.

"Just you wait, Arthur! Today's humiliation will be repaid twofold!"

Recalling the boy who had pressed her down on the floor, Morgan then let out a cold snort. "And you, my dear boy... one day, I will make you willingly leave Arthur's side and call me sister!"

...

[You slept peacefully through the night.]

[Although you were "attacked" by Morgan, she ultimately escaped. The only thing that troubled you slightly was that when you were resting in bed tonight, your sworn sister, Artoria, held you a little too tightly, making it hard for you to breathe.]

[The next morning, after Merlin returned to the castle, your sworn sister first gave him a harsh scolding for dereliction of duty, before finally telling him what had happened the previous night.]

[But the conclusion Merlin came to was the same as your sworn sister's; they both believed there was no need to worry about Morgan for the time being. And the following period of time passed peacefully, which let you know that their prediction was correct.]

[However, you always felt that this was just the calm before the storm, and a slight unease lingered in your heart.]

[But soon, you had no time to consider such things. Because after the victory in the first war, the next one was about to begin.]

[As expected, this battle to reclaim territory was much more difficult than the last. Although Vortigern sent several of his great generals to assist, you ultimately still defeated them and retook the land.]

[Your sworn sister "King Arthur's" fame soared even higher, resounding throughout the country. After all, one victory could be considered a coincidence, but a second victory could be considered a matter of strength.]

[For this reason, those great lords who had been somewhat uncertain about whether to continue placing their bets on your sworn sister also began to increase their support for your army. Your forces received ample supplies and manpower, becoming exceptionally strong. And with this premise, your offensive became even more fierce. In just half a year, you achieved several more victories, and morale became higher and higher.]

[But in this half-year, Morgan seemed to have vanished without a trace, taking no action at all. This left you, who had always been concerned about this matter, both puzzled and relieved. You hoped that she had thought things through and was thus remaining silent, and not brewing some greater conspiracy.]

[However, your good fortune did not last long. One day, a young knight named Agravain arrived, saying that he had heard of your sworn sister "King Arthur's" deeds and intended to pledge his allegiance to her.]

[You were happy about this, because it meant that your sworn sister was being recognized by more and more people.]

[But what you didn't expect was that this young man, who was received in the palace under the pretext of presenting a gift, suddenly lunged forward as your sworn sister stepped up to accept his gift, pulling a short dagger from his clothes and stabbing towards her.]

[You subconsciously drew your sword the moment you sensed something was wrong, intending to stop the assassin. But before your blade could reach the young man, he, for some reason, stopped his own movements and threw the dagger to the side.]

[You were extremely puzzled by this, but for Artoria's safety, you still vigilantly pressed him to the ground.]

[And the young man named Agravain also revealed the truth, saying that his mother was Morgan, and that he was the assassin sent by her. But the moment he saw your sworn sister, he had suddenly had a change of heart. Agravain believed that your sworn sister could lead Britain better than Morgan, so he intended to pledge his allegiance to her.]

[But he had, after all, come with a mission. From the very root, his intentions were malicious. In order to carry out his mother's order while also showing his own determination, he deliberately staged a play of an assassination attempt that he then voluntarily abandoned, to show his sincerity without any concealment.]

[After hearing the explanation, your sworn sister Artoria did not blame Agravain, and you also did indeed sense the sincerity of this young man. After a moment's hesitation, you still followed Artoria's command and released him.]

[And so this young man, who should have been an assassin, ultimately became a knight of your sworn sister. And Gawain, who arrived later and heard the whole story, was filled with guilt and apologized profusely for the foolish actions of his brother and mother, hoping that he could atone for them.]

[But your sworn sister did not mind, only saying, "If you wish to atone, then win more victories for the people on the battlefield." She let the matter pass for the time being.]

[But you understood that this was perhaps just the beginning. Because Morgan's plot against your sworn sister had, this time, clearly failed again...]
