52 The Lost Fairy
-Camelot, Avalon's Inner World
In the place where Angels, Spirits, and Heroes gathered was a timid young girl. Her action indicated that she was unfamiliar with the place itself, but the fairies that danced around were very welcoming, as though the Queen of Fairy was in their presence. If any knights of Round Table see her, they might greet her as King as her looks are similar to the most important person in this world.
"Is this really the place Merlin was talking about? Wah, I feel like I'm out of the place."
The young girl said as she walked around the Avalon through sheer will, as Avalon cannot be measured by dimension. Suppose anyone does not use any special transportation. In that case, they might find themselves losing inside Avalon as Avalon is a sub-dimension comparable to a 'Small World' Intrinsic Skill of Fairy Queen, Ramiris.
"This is nothing compared to that world. This place might be a paradise as you won't feel loneliness or hunger..."
The young girl said she did not know she'd been walking in that place for many days. She might be already walking for weeks, months, or years. Still, the sense of time was almost non-existence in that place as Avalon was created by the Ultimate Skills of Artoria's ideal, Dino's Parallel World magic, and blessed by Infinity itself. A new being born as Artoria seeks Utopia.
"Lady Avalon, I mean Merlin! Where are you?"
"Heh, I thought you would still walk for another ten years before you come to your senses."
A young woman with long white hair, her beauty was out of the world as any person who had grudges against her would melt away as they gazed upon her.
"Hello~ my little King! I'm glad you managed to evacuate in this place before she found you, fufu."
"Eto. Hello! I'm Artoria Caster. I don't know why I summoned this world, but somehow I'm already in this place."
"A chain summoned, hah... How troublesome my Master's Ultimate Skill is~."
[Akashic-chan: Rude!!! >.<]
A message came from Lord of Database Akashic was suddenly in front of Merlin. However, she ignored it and looked at Artoria's look alike but much younger and innocent—a Child of Prophecy chosen by the Staff of Selection rather than the Sword of Selection.
"The situation might become more interesting, fufu~."
"..."
[Akashic-chan: Master would punish you if you do some catastrophe prank...]
"Hmmmm~ Of course not! I'm just a spectator... I like watching every person in this world."
[Akashic-chan: A Demon Lord-like attitude... I see. You're not a Beast Candidate for nothing.]
"..."
The tension was brewing between the Ultimate Skill and Ultimate Being(born from Artoria), though someone was panicking as she found herself stuck between them.
"Wah, wah! Please stop! I'm still here."
Caster Artoria said as she stopped the two from fighting with her clumsy attitude, reducing the tension between the two to dust.
"Pfft~ Don't worry about that, little King. More importantly, Welcome to this Utopia! May you find what you seek in this distant land where worlds, hope, and Infinity exists."

-Avalon Kingdom, Camelot Castle
"She's here."
Artoria said as she looked at the ceiling as though she could see beyond it. At the same time, Agravain and Bedivere are inside the throne room as they assess the world's current situation as significant changes are happening centering around them and Tempest.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"
"No. I'm just looking at my different self. I see, such as me also exist, how fascinating... this must be how Master feels when he summoned us."
"..."
"..."
Agravain and Bedivere look at each other, not knowing why their King has a sentimental look.
"Sir Agravain, did you prepare our war stocks?"
"Yes... They are ready to be used against her and her army."
Agravain said thoughtfully as he brought all kinds of documents for Artoria to look at.
"Your Majesty... can we find common ground against her? I fear that something like this should be talked about rather than-"
"That was impossible, nya~."
Bedivere was stopped by Flugel, whose position was second only to Jibril, the aide of Dino. The one that managed the intelligence of Avalon and brought judgment to any criminals that could be found on Avalon, Azril.
"And why is that, my Lady?"
Bedivere questions her, hoping they might find common ground against their new enemy.
"Nyahaha~ They are already at war with the Primordial of Purple. It's already at the point that we need to repeatedly kill them to discipline them... though the Primordial of Purple just thought of them as toys."
"..."
"..."
"Still, If we talk to her about their situation, she might compromise-"
"No, Sir Bedivere... As long as I exist, she will not forgive me."
!?
Artoria said her thoughts, making Bedivere pause and close his eyes helplessly as he knows the history between her and his King.
"It would be a matter of time before she knows that I also exist in this world... before something happened to my Kingdom... I'm going to make a move."
"..."
"My spouse... you always use force... if you do that, we might not be able to reconcile with her... well, given her history to you, it was something that was understandable, but that woman was a different person from what you know."
!?
"That was!?"
"Nyaha~. It's that a secret weapon, master?"
Dino appeared before them together with someone whose appearance resembled the one sitting on the throne. A lily compared to a blooming flower on the throne.
"Eto, hmmm, Hello?"
Caster Artoria shyly said as everyone was looking at her with intense reaction. Someone was shocked. Others were laughing. Then there was also someone looking at her with a serious expression.
"It's time to start her journey, don't you think so?"

-Holy Empire Ruberios, Sacred Mountain
The most sacred place where Luminous Valentines reside was. It was also the primary base and home of the most powerful vampires in this world.
"Are you serious, Hinata? Just because of that video."
"Yes, I'm going to Tempest to reconcile to them, at least have a common ground against them. If not, then let our fist decide."
Hinata Sakaguchi said to the highest person, aside from Luminous Valentines, the Holy Emperor of Ruberios, Louis Valentin.
"Still-"
"No need to go there alone. I fear that they might bully you again, Hinata."
!?
The naked young woman suddenly appeared before them, the true ruler of the Holy Empire, Ruberios. She is the ruler of all the Vampires and one of the oldest demon lords.
"If they want war, so be it. A newbie slime daring to direct her fangs to me was nothing but a laughable matter. We're going to crush them."
An aloof voice and her condescending attitude were nothing but beauty itself. She was the definition of the goddess of itself—the fifth seat of the Octagram, Luminous Valentine.
