Reborn in Type-Moon, My Sister is Aoko Aozaki

"King Arthur?"

Aozaki Touko had thought that the boy, having been brought to her magus's workshop by Aozaki Aoko, had come specifically to secretly finish that still-incomplete birthday present. She had never expected that he was actually here to ask about this.

Looking at the boy sitting opposite her, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, his small face filled with a mixture of confusion and expectation, Aozaki Touko paused, considering where she should begin the story of that king.

After all, in the world of magecraft, King Arthur was a rather special existence.

Not only because of the various renowned Knights of the Round Table under his command, but also because the era in which that king lived was precisely the end of the Age of Gods, the beginning of the history of modern magecraft.

"...I won't ask for the specific reasons. But which aspect of King Arthur do you want to know about, Rin? If you want to know everything, a whole day might not be enough to tell it all."

Aozaki Rin hesitated for a moment. He certainly couldn't waste a whole day of the girl's precious time just for his own uncertain thoughts.

After considering various factors, the boy spoke with some hesitation.

"Can you tell me what King Arthur's ending was like, Sister Touko?"

"The ending? Even for that king, it doesn't seem to be much different from ordinary myths... Because the records are rather sparse, it's roughly that Britain entered an unprecedented period of prosperity under King Arthur's rule, but in a later battle, King Arthur unfortunately passed away, and the throne was inherited by his child with Morgan, Mordred."

Aozaki Touko didn't understand why a look of surprise had appeared on the boy's face, but she continued.

"...However, Mordred did not possess King Arthur's talent for ruling a country. Fortunately, with the assistance of the remaining Knights of the Round Table, they did not become a foolish or tyrannical ruler. The only thing that seemed somewhat irrational was that during Mordred's reign, they constantly dispatched the Round Table Knights to search for the legendary 'Holy Grail' that could grant any wish."

"Although it is said that one Round Table Knight, Galahad, did find the Holy Grail and bring it back, that King Mordred believed the Grail was a fake and angrily rebuked him, saying it could not grant all wishes. After this incident, Sir Galahad, having no wish for the Grail himself, ascended to Heaven along with it. As for King Mordred... they lived to be about a hundred years old and died of natural causes."

"But because they left no heirs, the dynasty of Britain thus came to an end. What followed is the story of the wars between the Celts and the Saxons. Is there anything else you want to ask, Rin?"

Recounting the information she had read as concisely as possible, Aozaki Touko took a sip of her coffee to wet her throat.

However, Aozaki Rin was still reeling from the shock of the girl's words. After a long while, he finally frowned and asked.

"Sister Touko, do you think it's possible for King Arthur to be a girl?"

"What?"

The girl blinked as if stunned, then the corners of her lips curled into a light laugh. She couldn't help but find the boy's idea a little cute.

"A girl? Hmm... that's a novel guess. But if King Arthur were a woman, how could she and Morgan have a child, the heir Mordred? You have to know, a girl and a girl can't have a child together, Rin."

Smiling as she patted the boy's head, Aozaki Touko stated the self-evident common sense.

"...I suppose you're right."

Aozaki Rin slowly nodded. He still knew about such things. It was only because a sliver of fantasy still lingered in his heart that he had asked such a naive question.

But from the looks of it, he had really just had a very realistic and complex dream.

After all, the boy couldn't possibly imagine his adoptive sister Artoria and her royal sister Morgan having a child named Mordred.

Therefore, even in the real-world myth, that King Arthur must have been a man.

"I understand now, Sister Touko. Thank you for the explanation."

"It's nothing. But I never thought you'd be interested in these stories. If you have time, you could go and visit Alice's house. That child should have quite a few books on this subject."

Aozaki Touko smiled and returned her gaze to the manuscript paper before her, which was filled with various factors and calculation formulas required to activate a certain large-scale spell.

Although she had little interest in such minute things that could move the world's phenomena, if it was for the sake of obtaining the final magic, she could continue to endure.

"Sister Alice..."

Aozaki Rin murmured softly. He did remember her, a girl around his sister Aoko's age, but with a particularly cold voice.

After all, back when her mother was still alive, Aozaki Touko, in search of a cure for his eyes, would often take him to visit the mother of the girl named Alice Kuonji.

It was just a pity that in the end, a cure was never found, and the girl's mother also seemed to have passed away due to illness.

And after that, Aozaki Touko's visits to the Kuonji Mansion became less frequent, and she also rarely brought him along.

Even on the rare occasions when Aozaki Rin would visit on his own with Touko's escort, he and the girl, who was like a witch living far from the mundane world, could spend a whole day together in silence. They wouldn't speak to each other until Touko came to pick him up and take him home again.

However, the boy did not dislike that kind of atmosphere; on the contrary, he found it very peaceful.

Because in his view, even people who like solitude are ultimately afraid of loneliness.

That was why he would visit her from time to time.

Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a while since I've visited Sister Alice. But I have to go to the church for lessons tomorrow...

After confirming that the doubts in his heart were indeed just his own fantasy, Aozaki Rin also readjusted his pace.

But to be honest, even now, he was still a little surprised that in the real myth, King Arthur and Miss Morgan actually had a child together.

—Time rewinds to one day ago.

As the country with the smallest land area in the world, and also the center of the world's "Lord's" faith, the Vatican has been largely uninvolved in worldly disputes since modern times. No one would deliberately offend this small piece of land that, on the surface, is just a peaceful religious state, but in reality, is where the full elite of the Holy Church is gathered.

However, the reality was that someone had indeed done so, and had even blown up a corner of St. Peter's Basilica...

—BOOM!

A violent explosion blew a huge hole in the off-white outer wall of the basilica.

Amidst the rolling smoke, a red convertible sports car, like a speeding bolt of lightning, swiftly and nimbly dodged one screaming priest and nun after another, and in the blink of an eye, it shot out of the hole and leaped onto the street.

And the golden-haired girl in the driver's seat seemed completely oblivious to the warnings from the pursuing Inquisition Knights and Executors behind her. Her golden hair, tied in a single ponytail, whipped about energetically in the high-speed airflow. A refreshing laugh, boyish yet with a clear girlish undertone, immediately spread through the air behind her.

"I already told you, you lot are ten thousand years too early to be hoarding Lord Father's sword! If you've got the guts, then come and take it! Hahaha!"
