Fate: Typemoon - My Dragon Knight

"I know you are not human. Rest assured, I have no intention of exposing your identity. On the contrary, I look forward to you joining us, or... to be precise, joining my organization. I believe you must be a long-lived species, and you seem to have a certain aversion to humans. There aren't many places left in this world for you to hide. I think you need protection."

The white-haired man rested his chin on his hand, his golden eyes seeming to see right through her.

He was clearly just a human, yet he gave her a unique sense of pressure. As expected, with such a large population, humanity would always produce a few unimaginably talented individuals. Ah... this was just the worst.

"Rest assured, I'm just here to say hello today. You have plenty of time to consider. Of course, even if you refuse, we can still be friends."

Friends? Easier said than done... who knows what will happen if I refuse. Besides, aren't humans the type to say one thing to your face and do another behind your back?

Argh—!! Annoying, annoying, super annoying! I really want to burn everything around me, and most importantly, burn that guy who spoke to me to a crisp.

Unfortunately, that was somewhat impossible. That guy was, after all, one of the Lords of the Clock Tower, and he wasn't in her department. This was a very troublesome problem. If she didn't want to cause a huge commotion, she wasn't certain she could steadily take down that Lord when her own power hadn't returned to its peak.

The girl didn't notice that because she was recalling that annoying guy, an oppressive aura began to emanate from her. In the eyes of others, a flash of red light seemed to flicker in the girl's eyes, and her whole body looked as if it were on fire. The few magi who had been secretly badmouthing the girl immediately shut their mouths.

Although they didn't know if the girl was so angry because of what they had said, no one wanted to test their luck at this time. After all, they had heard some rumors. It seemed that a boy had often pestered this girl, and as a result, the boy was beaten half to death. The boy's family wanted to cause trouble for this Eastern girl. Generally speaking, being targeted by a family while alone in a foreign country would most likely result in an unexplained death. But for some reason, the people from that family who went to trouble this Eastern girl either ended up dead or injured. In the end, the matter could only be dropped. This was also the reason why everyone was unwilling to get close to this Eastern girl.

What if it's some kind of unique Eastern curse?

"We're here, we're here. The bus can't go any further. We'll have to walk from here. Everyone got all your things?"

Mark called for everyone to grab their things and get off the bus. This finally woke the girl sitting in the last row from her thoughts. The twin-tailed girl sighed, temporarily pushing all her thoughts to the back of her mind. After all, she had accepted the invitation to come out, to some extent, for some peace and quiet. Coming into nature, to this place far from the crowd, perhaps she could temporarily cast aside her troubles. Perhaps, in this period of being undisturbed, she could figure out what she should do.

Picking up her book and package, she pushed up her glasses. The twin-tailed girl walked at the very end, her gaze once again falling on the place where the crowd was gathered. "Caledon...ias..."

At the same time, in this forest, Aslan had already put away the more conspicuous jewelry on his body, making his current attire look luxurious yet low-key and tasteful.

The bird he had hastily created earlier was still circling in the sky, bringing him the latest information. It was a rare occasion to come to the human world, and even then, to descend as a split spirit into a Singularity. So this time, Aslan was very minutely sensing the changes in the mana in the atmosphere and the changes in the surrounding plants and scenery. At the same time, he was also prepared to go and properly taste modern cuisine. Although Great Britain had some "dark cuisine," there were still many new flavors that didn't exist on the Reverse Side of the World.

He hadn't had a "Happy Otaku Water" in 1500 years. Heaven knows how he had imagined that flavor, but after experimenting with making it himself, it always felt a little different. After all, so much time had passed, even Aslan himself had forgotten what it tasted like. How could he perfectly replicate it?

Those old fossils in the Inner Sea of the Planet mostly drank fruit juice and wine. The more elegant ones would only drink tea. Of course, if one went to the Mongolian region on the Inner Side of the Planet, one could drink authentic milk tea with a hint of flavor from the Age of Gods. Although there were many delicious things to drink, after drinking them for so long, he was getting a little tired of them. Don't tell him that Happy Otaku Water, fries, and burgers were junk food. Aslan stated that his constitution was already completely different from that of a human. Even if it was junk food, so what? It wouldn't affect him in the slightest.

Besides, if Artoria could eat it, why couldn't he?

If my little sister can go, so can I!

At this thought, Aslan's pace couldn't help but quicken. As for investigating the impending crisis in this world, no rush, no rush. Anyway, a world-threatening crisis like this was either secretly brewing, and he wouldn't be able to investigate it without any clues, or it would come with a heaven-rending, earth-shattering entrance, and he would run into it without even having to look. So what's the rush? He might as well enjoy himself first.

Aslan believed that Merlin must be watching him. Since Merlin was watching him, if he didn't properly enjoy the food and entertainment that only the human world had to offer and make Merlin properly envious, jealous, and hateful, how could he get revenge for being kicked out?

However, it was precisely because Aslan was increasingly tempting Merlin that Merlin taught himself how to add an internet connection and a series of other equipment to his tower without Aslan's help. He even successfully registered an account and became "Magical★Merlin-chan" online, and then proceeded to completely fool a certain Grand Caster who had become an ordinary person.

Before Aslan had walked much further, the alchemical familiar he had released flew back into his hand and let out a few cries. It had clearly discovered something up ahead.

"Hmm?"

Aslan narrowed his eyes. In this era, there were no more magical beasts in the mountain forests. Even if there were, they would definitely cause some sort of commotion. At the same time, magical beasts would certainly prefer special areas or areas where mana gathered. Although this mountain forest had not been developed by humans, the mana concentration was not high. Magical beasts were impossible.

So, humans?
