The Meeting Dances, But Does Not Progress
"Then we will begin the knighthood ceremony."
Announces Queen Anne of Britain, who is needlessly dignified.
At the same time, Anastasia, who was next to Anne, pulled out a familiar sword from its scabbard and handed it to Anne.
"Holy sword Excalibur..."
"Yes! Anastasia-san borrowed Excalibur, the treasured holy sword of the Kingdom of Britain!"
"Borrowed the greatest treasure of the Kingdom of Britain?"
I don't understand what it means.
It was borrowed, and they borrowed it.
Didn't they take it back?
"Yes. For some reason, the holy sword Excalibur was lent to the Harman royal family on the Atlesia continent!"
"Even though it is a treasure of the Kingdom of Britain, do you still have to return it to the Harman royal family?"
"It is the will of our Ancestor-sama Artoria Pendragon that we are lending it to the Harman royal family!"
I don't really know, but there are probably a lot of things going on.
I'm not from the Kingdom of Britain, so I don't know anything about it.
"Ced-kun. Get down on one knee and lower your head."
Anastasia speaks to me in a whisper.
I know that much!
I once played knight with Mary.
"Master. Don't say what you think to Anastasia-san."
Shiro, who can read my mind, points out things one by one.
Anastasia is like a mother who has been kind to me since I was a child, and she is my first love.
I can't use foul language like, [I know that much!]
"Master has a decent heart too!"
"No matter how you look at it, I’m a person with common sense!"
"Ced-kun. Shut up! We're currently in the middle of the knighthood ceremony!"
Anastasia was angry.
Slightly depressed, I meekly got down on one knee and bowed my head.
"I appoint you a knight of the round table."
Anne taps my shoulder three times with the flat surface of the holy sword Excalibur, creating an air of unnecessary dignity.
Next, she taps Shiro and Mylene on the shoulders three times with the holy sword Excalibur.
Shiro and Mylene look very happy.
Shiro, who loves history, just admires King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, but Mylene is happy with tears in her eyes.
It was probably because she remembered all the things she had lived through discrimination up until now.
Well, the Drake Pirates, who belonged to the Kingdom of Britain, were the source of the biggest discrimination.
The one who helped them was the Mary Anne Pirates, and Anne, who was the leader of the group, has now become the Queen of the Kingdom of Britain.
Mylene might have a slightly complicated feeling.
"It's all thanks to the guidance of Ancetor-sama."
Apparently, what I was thinking in my head was conveyed to Mylene through telepathy.
It was around this time that I realized that I needed to quickly learn how to control telepathy.
As I was thinking that,
"When you’re done, just take a seat!"
I heard Mina's voice from somewhere.
Before I knew it, Anne and Anastasia were sitting at their seats at the round table.
"Mina's voice... Is it a hallucination?"
"I also heard Mina-san’s voice from somewhere!"
Apparently, Shiro also heard Mina's voice.
However, Mina is nowhere to be seen.
"I’m here, nya!"
The cat hero Mina appears on the round table.
Apparently, Mina was sitting on a chair at the round table and we just couldn't see her.
I sit down in an empty seat while glaring at the cheeky Mina.
"Now, all the knights of Queen Anne's Round Table are here!"
Anastasia was nodding to herself, her eyes tearing up with satisfaction.
Anastasia is also quite old, so I guess she's more prone to tears.
She may have mistaken Anne for her grandchild and is overcome with emotion.
"Master's insensitivity has gone so far that it's sick......."
For some reason, Shiro read my mind and was amazed.
The fact that Anastasia gets teary-eyed when she sees Anne at her grandchild's age has nothing to do with my insensitivity!
Actually, I'm not insensitive!
"Right"
Shiro affirmed without any emotion at all.
ーーーー
"Now then, I hereby declare the start of the round table conference!"
Queen Anne, who had too much dignity, raised the sacred sword Excalibur to the sky and announced the start of the round table conference.
And with great pride, she returned the holy sword Excalibur to Anastasia.
Apparently, the holy sword Excalibur was needed to declare the start of the round table conference, so it would be returned to the Harman royal family to whom they had lent it to.
"Master, you also used it when appointing the knights of the Round Table!"
"That's right!"
The excellent Shiro adds.
And so, the meeting was conducted in a solemn manner.
Honestly, I'm not interested in the war between the Kingdom of Britain and the Crusades, so I'll leave it at that.
I'm sure Shiro will be listening.
Because Shiro is eager to participate in the battle between the Kingdom of Britain and the Crusades.
She seems very happy to have been chosen as a Knight of the Round Table.
In the first place, since she became a baron of the Kingdom of Britain, she was obligated to fight for the country.
"The meeting dances, but it does not progress."
"Master, what are you talking about?
The meeting is going smoothly and no one is dancing, right?"
"I just wanted to say that!"
Shiro doesn't understand at all.
I have a disease where I want to say what's on my mind.
"That's right. It's true that in the past, a certain person would suddenly shout things like, [I want to eat humans!] or [I want to eat brains!]"
"You are saying that now? It's a very dark history for me..."
"To tell you the truth, Master also likes human flesh!"
"At that time, I was a skeleton and couldn’t suppress my racial desires!
Actually, I have no interest in human flesh!"
"But back then, if you had eaten human flesh even once, I don’t think you would have been able to stop!"
"I wish I had eaten it! But I've never tasted human flesh!"
"What are you guys talking about since earlier?
Wanting to eat human flesh, you psycho!"
Queen Anne's twin sister Mary warns me and Shiro about our argument with a suspicious look on her face.
"Mary has the nerve to warn me."
Mary, who is supposed to be an idiot, seems to be intelligent now that she has become the princess of the great kingdom of Britain.
"Master, it’s just your imagination that she looks so smart!"
"Indeed……"
Human personality doesn't change that quickly.
Or rather, there are two people nearby who seem to have changed.
It's Reinhard and Kenji.
Both of them had a strange admiration for knights and samurai.
And they were appointed a Knight of the Round Table, the highest rank of knights they admired.
Both of them grew up in a small colony inside a dungeon on the continent of Atlesia.
They have come to the 35th level, which is a different world, and have come to the great kingdom of Britain.
Everything you see is magnificent and huge.
Although the Kingdom of Britain is a small island nation, it is much larger than the continent of Atlesia, which was Amaimon's miniature garden.
They became a knight of the Round Table in such a huge kingdom.
The tension is getting too high and things are starting to get weird.
"Well, Mary-kun, please don’t be so angry!
Cedric-kun didn't mean to offend you!"
Reinhard is saying something in a weird way.
Since he became a Knight of the Round Table, he seems to think that he has to speak in a manner appropriate to that.
"Cedric Onii-sama isn’t that bad!
Cedric Onii-sama's words are full of dignity and are absolutely true!"
Stupid Kenji has become even more stupid than usual.
Can we even hold a meeting with all these idiots?
Or rather, it feels like Anne and Anastasia are talking about the future plans and strategies with just themselves...
It's probably just my imagination.
Since it's a round table conference, let's believe that we are having discussions.
Even if I'm wrong, it's not just the boss explaining future strategies to its subordinates.
