Chapter 265: The Queen of Fairy Britain, Morgan(Words: 2783)
One month had passed since the end of the Holy Grail War.
At the Chaldea Security Organization, dedicated to preserving humanity's future, a short- haired girl with pink hair strolled quietly through a corridor.
She was wearing a crisp white uniform, and at this time, her violet eyes, half-covered by her hair, darted around as if
"Mash, are you talking about it?"
Following Promise's gaze, the latter spotted Fou and was stunned for a moment.
Then, with a look of delight, she approached, picked up the non-resisting Fou, and happily
said, "Fou, so you were here."
"It followed me all the way here... truly a curious little fellow," Promise said as he walked closer, picking up Mash's words while casting Fou a meaningful smile.
Fou let out a soft cry, looked at Promise, then at Mash, and tilted its tiny head slightly as if
pondering something.
Finally, it simply tilted its head further, as though giving up on thinking, and closed its eyes.
With that, Mash seemed to forget her earlier question and began showing Promise around Chaldea, giving a brief tour and introducing various places and people.
"Here we are! This is Da Vinci-san. Mashu, what brings you here today all of a sudden...?"
As Da Vinci appeared and approached Promise, their eyes met. Da Vinci paused, stunned for a
moment, her gaze lighting up before she blurted out, "This handsome gentleman, may I paint your portrait?"
Mashu froze for a moment at Da Vinci's words, just as she was about to say something.
"What a coincidence. I was just thinking of painting a portrait of you as well," Promise replied.
The two looked at each other for a while, then simultaneously reached out their hands, laughing in unison.
Mashu blinked and exchanged a glance with Fou in her arms as both tilted their heads
adorably.
At that moment, someone else entered.
"Da Vinci-san, do you still have coffee here? I just got scolded by the director again... huh?
Isn't that Mashu? And who might this young man be...?"
The speaker, a man with short orange hair tied in a ponytail, dressed like a doctor in a white
coat, was Roman Archaman.
At that moment, he appeared before Promise with a miserable look on his face. When their eyes met, Roman froze for a moment, because, even if it was brief, he caught a glimpse of something complicated in Promise's beautiful eyes.
Moreover, there was a sense that everything was laid bare under those clear emerald eyes, as if they saw through everything in that instant.
Just as Roman was feeling confused and somewhat flustered by this and was subconsciously considered questioning it, Mash, who did not notice anything unusual, stepped forward to introduce the two.
When Roman learned that this person was Promise, a student under Waver and the newcomer
to Chaldea, his expression shifted and he exclaimed, "Wait a moment! What are you doing here? The director has been looking for you everywhere. She's been waiting at the entrance and just scolded all of us because she couldn't find you!"
Mash, startled by this, looked at Promise in confusion and said, "Promise-senpai, didn't you
say the director wasn't here...?"
At this point, she suddenly realized something-the place where Promise had been conversing with that Chaldea staff member earlier was far from the entrance.
"Fou~~"
Even Fou cried out twice as if tattling.
Under everyone's gaze, Promise blinked, subtly shifted his eyes away, and said, "This place is
much larger than I imagined. Truly magnificent."
The other three exchanged glances.
In this moment, though it was their first meeting, they felt they had begun to grasp what kind
of person Promise was.
Afterward, Mash led Promise to meet the director, Olga Marie, who hurried over upon
receiving the news.
As expected, on his very first day here, Promise was sternly scolded by his superior, Olga Marie, who wore a grim expression.
Despite this, the latter still guided Promise around Chaldea afterward, introducing him to
various people, including the A-Team members who had been eagerly awaiting his arrival. There wasn't much worth noting about Promise's initial meeting with the A-Team members.
However, when someone asked Promise about the position he had applied for, even Olga Marie looked at him curiously.
Promise gave an answer that no one had anticipated.
"Artist."
He smiled, looking at the people in front of him with a hint of deeper meaning, and said,
"Well..I came here to paint, but... the painting isn't for now."
This response made Olga Marie's face darken instantly, almost thinking that Promise was
here to insult her.
However, recalling the specific instructions from Reines before Promise's arrival, urging her
to tolerate anything he did, she held back her anger.
She chose not to speak further, kept a stern face, stayed for a while longer, and then stormed
off in frustration, contacting Reines to vent her grievances.
What she didn't expect, however, was that when Reines learned of Promise's purpose in
coming to Chaldea, she remained silent for a long time.
Later, her tone of mockery toward Olga Marie grew even sharper.
Amid the mockery, there was also a faint trace of envy.
Olga Marie, however, failed to notice it. Because of this, she remained angry for quite a long
time and refused to speak to Promise.
Promise, of course, didn't mind at all, and less than a week, he had already formed friendly relationships with many people in Chaldea.
When it came to making friends, he had become exceptionally skilled.
During this period, Olga Marie, who still maintaining her stern demeanor, found time to test
Promise's aptitude as a Master.
However, to everyone's shock and confusion, the results showed that Promise's aptitude as a
Master was zero!
This participant in the Holy Grail War, this victor of the Holy Grail, had a Master aptitude of
zero!
The result led everyone to doubt the reliability of the equipment.
Da Vinci checked and rechecked it, and later even disassembled and reassembled the device.
But the results remained the same as at the beginning. Because of this, everyone's gaze toward Promise became a bit strange.
Olga Marie, in particular, vented her frustration at Reines several times over the matter, but
each time, she was defeated by Reines' sarcastic remarks.
Eventually, she completely ignored Promise.
As this storm subsided, people's interest in Promise gradually calmed.
Only a few individuals with sharp intuition maintained their suspicions toward him.
Among them was the "Crown Bomb" Lev Lainur Flauros.
Since their initial meeting, Lev had never appeared before Promise again.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
About ten days later, with Promise now having a firm foothold in Chaldea, managed to drive
away the Fourth Beast, which had been pestering him since their first meeting. After closing the door, he walked to the window in his room, sat down, and looked at the dark
world outside, where the endless blizzard raged on.
A faint smile appeared on his lips as a golden Heroic Spirit Class Card manifested in his hand.
However, unlike other Class Cards, this one was blank.
This was Promise's unique "golden finger." Each engraving on the card was like a chapter in history.
Once completed, a new blank Class Card would appear in his possession. "Well then, to reach the Crowned Temple of Time, let the journey resume today," Promise
said with a light chuckle as he gently spun the blank Class Card in his hand.
At that moment, the world froze, then shattered like a mirror and reformed.
The journey that had yet to reach its end began anew.
...
...
Everything ends with the sea, and everything begins only with the sea.
A shooting star streaked across the sky, turning all the land into rivers.
Six fairies became friends with a god.
The six fairies offered joy to the god.
The six fairies offered prayers to the god.
The six fairies sacrificed to the god.
In return, they received a blessing from the god and gained land that grew from the sea.
Lostbelt,
Fairy Calendar Year 4000, Orkney, northern Britain.
Within the kingdom ruled by the Rain Clan among the six major fairy clans.
In a dimly lit and quiet library, a "slave" sat alone, quietly reading a book in their hands.
Clear and bright emerald eyes focused on the myths of creation recorded in the book.
This was a fairy's kingdom.
For humans to survive and enter a fairy-ruled kingdom, they could only do so as slaves to the
fairies.
Thus, in this world, all humans existed solely to entertain the fairies. Promise, who had arrived here, naturally "earned" his identity as a slave as well.
As for his master...
"Promise, are you here?"
Suddenly, a crisp and melodious voice broke the silence of the small library.
The faint glow of a lantern illuminated the dim room. When Promise instinctively raised his gaze, he saw a silver-haired, blue-eyed fairy
illuminated by the lantern light, appearing before his eyes.
Her name was Vivian.
Of course, she could also be addressed by another title:
Queen of Fairy Britain, Morgan.
