ch. 81 Hidden mission

( Yuto Pov )

Leaning my head against Scathach, we both sat in bed in silence.

" We should leave this place." I stated.

Scathach:" I agree, I'm getting sick of this place."

" Come on, let's go find Liz."

Getting up, I was about to leave but was stopped by Scathach, who grabbed my hand.

Scathach:" Wait, let's stay like this for a while."

" Sigh, alright."

Sitting down again, I held Scathachs' hand, looking at our hands intertwined I spoke.

" Scathach, I....I love you." I spoke as I turned towards her.

Scathach had a flustered face but quickly turned away before looking at me.

Scathach:" And I love too, Yuto."

She spoke with a gentle face as she gazed into my eyes.

Holding her cheek with my shaking hands as I could still remember the spear peircing her heart.

Scathach put her hand over mine, which caused it to stop shaking. Looking into each other's eyes, our faces grew closer.

Liz:" LLLLEEEEEEEWWWWWDDDDD!!!!"

" Sigh, Liz, I thought you were sleeping."

I said as I saw Liz covering her eyes.

Liz:" I was hungry."

Scathach chuckled and spoke.

Scathach:" Why don't we make some food?"

Liz:" Yaay!!"

I chuckled.

" Alright."

We both got up and took Liz with us as she was still covering her eyes.

* An hour later ,*

We were ready to leave. Putting Liz inside of my hood, I hesitantly picked up the spear with the help of Scathach. Smiling at her, I thanked her, which she replied with a smile.

Manipulating the space to the tip of the spear, I slashed the air. Grabbing Scathach by the waist, we jumped through passing to the real world.

* Slash* * Boom!* *Crash *

Landing on the ground as Scathach was holding my neck, we both let go of each as Scathach observed the surrounding.

Scathach:" Beautiful."

She spoke as she saw the beautiful grass plane under the mountain.

" Yeah, it is." I spoke as I looked at her.

" We should change your clothes."

Scathach:" Hmm? are you jealous that another man will be eyeing me?"

" Yes." I spoke before covering her with a cloak.

Scathach:" Alright. I'll see if I can get a better one."

" Let's go, then. We'll be heading back to Britain."

Scathach:" Following you dear."

Chuckling, I walked down the mountain, followed by Scathach.

Liz:" Yay! we're going home!"

" Yes, we are."

' Oh right, well you could turn it back on.'

It was a dark purple shoulder guard.

' I'll equip this later for now. I should head back to Britain with Scathach and Liz.'

* A few months later ,*

We finally made it back to Britain, and I was wearing my new equipment, I didn't want to wield [ Faith's Fall ] as every time I touched it, I would remember the feeling of killing Scathach.

I was wearing the shoulder guard with my assassin creed robes, I attached it on top of the black and red cape.

I also had the claymore strapped to my back, It was white and green in color. With the blade being white with green streaks and a green handle.

Scathach also changed into another outfit. It was a dark purple armor I created for her. She wore her original clothes but with armor almost resembling a knight.

And Liz was just Liz but with a cookie in her hand.

Liz;" Munch Munch."

" Liz, you're getting crumbs on my shoulder. "

Liz:" Oops, sorry."

She began to swat away the crumbs with her tiny hands.

Scathach:" They said there's a competition next year. Should we go?"

" Hmm, sure, why not."

We both heard of news that King Arthur was holding a competition looking for knights of the round table. They established this after I left Britain.

Just as we were walking down the marketplace, someone bumped into me.

* Thud *

??:" Hey, watch it!!!"

" Hmm, my apologies, madame."

' Artoria? no, it's moldred. Why is she here?'

Moldred:" Oi!!! Did you hear me!!!"

" I already apologized, little lady. Why don't we..."

Moldred:" Lady!!?? I'm a boy dumbass!!!"

' Sigh, and here I thought I escaped it.'

" Oh yeah, I identify as a cat we aren't the same."

Moldred froze as she pointed her finger in the air.

Moldred;" Wha???"

Scathach:" Pft."

Morgan Le Fay:" Oh my, Sir Yuto arguing with a child."

" Morgan, I see, I get it, You really had to do that, didn't you."

Morgan:" What do you mean??"

" Don't act all innocent, I know what you did."

Morgan kept her smile as she walked next to Mordred.

Morgan:" Moldred, this is Yuto, a friend. He's also a..."

I knew she would tell her my identity as King Arthur's knight, so I said the only thing that was on my mind.

" I'm your father."

Moldred shutted down.

* Thud *

And she fell.

* Bam!!*

Scathach punished me.

and I died. Jk.

* Morgan Le Fay residence *

" Sigh, you really went through it." I spoke as I held my head where Scathach hit me.

Morgan:" Still don't know what you're talking about?"

" Sure, play your stupid riddles."

Scathach didn't speak as she was finding information from me and Morgan's conversation.

although I could tell her, she wouldn't like the fact I ruined her fun in puzzles.

Morgan;" I'm surprised you're here. There was talk about the mysterious knight vanishing. Rumors about how he became a spirit that protects Britain in the shadow, the Hidden One. "

" Uh huh, people really are bored now, huh?"

Morgan:" Of course, with the 'King' leading this country, it's been kept in order."

" I see, and what of her."

Morgan:" I plan on sending her to the competition next year. Hmm, why not train her."

" Train her? Yeah, I'm going to pass."

Morgan:" Really? How about this, then?"

She took out an item, and I used to observe.

[ Amulet of Scathach] [ Epic ]

[ Immune to curse and poison. ]

[ Gives the user a healing aura that constantly regenerates the user's health and mana.]

And it seems that scathach found this Amulet familiar.

' This bitch, she knows what she's doing.'

Looking back to Morgan's smug face that I really wanted to punch, I spoke.

" You said a year?"
