Reborn in Type-Moon, My Sister is Aoko Aozaki

Chapter 62: Volume 1: Chapter 63 - The One You Should Be Thanking Isn't Me, Artoria



[To solve the food shortage problem, you decide to irrigate the earth with your own blood.]

[Although Merlin is strongly against it, faced with your insistence, he can only go along with the plan and help you hide the matter from your sister Artoria.]

[Using magic, Merlin draws the blood from your body and stores it in specially made containers. However, for safety reasons, Merlin does not follow your suggestion to draw a significant amount of blood at first, taking only a volume equivalent to that of an index finger.]

[Merlin explains that although you have both decided to do this, there might still be a turning point. He intends to first study your blood, in the hopes that he might find a substitute to solve the current situation.]

[You have no objections and are, in fact, more than willing.]

[However, the next day, Merlin comes to you with heavy steps. After a long silence, he finally tells you that he cannot comprehend the substances contained within your blood at all, and that finding a substitute is almost impossible.]

[You are not disheartened by this, as you already had a vague premonition in your heart.]

[You smile and comfort Merlin, saying that it's fine, and if that's the case, you can just proceed as originally planned.]

[Merlin nods without a word. He remains silent throughout the process of drawing your blood, only reminding you at the end to rest well. Afterward, he takes the small vial of your blood and goes to find your sister Artoria.]

[Unsurprisingly, Merlin is soon dispatched by your sister to several regions with extreme food shortages to conduct preliminary "experiments" with this "specialized magic." ]

[The "experiment" process goes smoothly, and the results are gratifying. Watching Merlin return with several cartloads of grain, your sister Artoria thanks him with great excitement. In her elation, amidst the onlookers of the Round Table Knights, she can't help but pick you up and spin you in a circle, muttering:]

["This is wonderful! Fate truly hasn't abandoned Britain after all." ]

[The Knights of the Round Table can't help but exchange smiles at this, and you too reveal a smile. After all, what you want to protect is not just the Britain your sister wants to protect, but also her smile.]

[But even though Merlin's "magic experiment" is still being conducted in secret and has not yet reached the stage of large-scale implementation, after a period of time, word still leaks out.]

[Upon learning this news, the various lords of Britain, whose lands were already suffering from declining grain production due to continuous disaster years and whose people were beginning to complain, finally can't bear it any longer. One day, they join together to send a declaration to your sister Artoria, hoping that she will dispatch Merlin to support their territories.]

[Your sister feels conflicted, because she clearly remembers Merlin saying that it is not yet time for large-scale implementation. To do so would only run Merlin ragged and might even cause the "specialized magic" to fail.]

[But at the same time, your sister also realizes that if she does not agree to the lords' request, Britain's interior will likely fall into turmoil before the Saxon army can even attack again.]

[Helpless, your sister Artoria has no choice but to ask for Merlin's opinion. But Merlin says nothing, only letting out a soft sigh before secretly casting a questioning gaze in your direction.]

[You nod without hesitation, and Merlin can only say with a troubled tone:]

["Looks like I'll just have to work a little harder. But since I'm going to other territories, I should at least have a guard. Let's have En accompany me." ]

[Your sister hesitates for a few seconds, somewhat confused by Merlin's suggestion. But considering your recent harmonious relationship with Merlin, and also trusting in your strength, she ultimately agrees to Merlin's request and expresses her gratitude to him.]

[But Merlin just waves his hand and says softly:]

["The one you should be thanking isn't me, Artoria..."]

[But these words, muttered to himself, do not reach your sister's ears.]

[You and Merlin soon embark on a journey to several of these territories. To prevent the truth of the so-called "specialized magic" from being exposed, when performing the magic, Merlin always requests that no one but you be present, and he also sets up wards in the surrounding area.]

[At every territory, Merlin makes the same arrangements, and every time, you cut your own palm and water the barren land with your blood.]

[Fortunately, your constitution is rather special, and your wounds heal with astonishing speed. Otherwise, more than the continuous loss of blood, you might first worry about what to do if your sister Artoria were to notice the injuries on your palm at night after this journey is over.]

[And so, with one irrigation of blood after another, the grain fields that should have yielded nothing burst with a momentary, lush vitality.]

[Listening to the joyful cheers of the people for the bountiful harvest, you realize that your choice was not wrong.]

[However, on the way to the next territory, Merlin reminds you that you cannot bestow this grace upon all the territories of Britain, because that is, from a practical standpoint, completely impossible.]

[After all, the amount of blood in a person's body is finite. Even with a special constitution, it cannot satisfy such a large demand.]

[At the same time, Merlin also warns you that some things need to be done in moderation.]

[Right now, all of Britain is suffering from hunger. And the Saxons, who are certain to invade again soon, are not only after Britain's land but also its grain. This will only make the already dire situation in Britain even worse.]

[Originally, Britain would have slowly walked toward destruction under such heavy burdens. But now, everything has changed.]

[The people found that when they feared Vortigern, King Arthur appeared and eliminated him. They found that when they were mired in the suffering of hunger, King Arthur appeared and solved this problem.]

[At this rate, the people will only further deify your sister Artoria, believing her to be omnipotent. And human desire is endless; they will only place more and more expectations on your sister.]

[Merlin does not think this is a good thing, because the ever-increasing hope placed on your sister Artoria is a burden that you must bear.]

[So he hopes that you will stop in time, or at least place some limits, even if you don't stop.]

[But you just shake your head and say firmly:]

["Continue." ]
