Chapter 8: Sisters Quarrel

"...Aaah... I'm doomed."

Just as Eikou was thinking that, Morgan walked straight toward them.

He immediately felt the blood in his body run cold, hastily grabbing a book to cover his face, silently praying that Morgan wouldn't notice him.

Shikibu had also noticed this uninvited guest with extraordinary presence; she immediately stood to greet her.

"Long time no see, Morgan-san."

Shikibu smiled, pushing up her glasses, politely greeting,

"What brings you here today, is it to urge me about the manuscript?"

Eikou's heart suddenly tightened, inwardly cursing himself for forgetting about this connection.

He still remembered a message on the anonymous forum where Shikibu said that back when she wrote "Reverse Genji," because she put in too many "indescribable feelings," it was banned, and the one who extended a helping hand and firmly supported its publication was none other than Morgan!

So before he even knew it, Morgan and Shikibu had already become very close literary friends.

What a fatal mistake!

Eikou thought, had he known this, he would rather have followed Artoria-sensei to the infirmary, at least he wouldn't have ended up in such a life-threatening situation like now.

He quickly covered his face tightly.

"Nothing, I just happened to visit my husband and on the way came to find you to urge the manuscript."

Today Morgan wore a simple and modest white casual outfit. Combined with her beautiful long snow-white hair, she naturally radiated the lofty aura of a queen.

She blinked her icy blue eyes and asked:

"It's been a while since I've seen any progress on your uploads. I want to know if things are going smoothly now?"

"Thank you for your concern," Shikibu replied with a bright smile, "to be honest I was having serious writer's block, but a certain young man made my inspiration flow, and I believe I can submit the manuscript for volume three next week."

"I see, that's good."

Morgan nodded slightly, lost in thought.

Right after, her gaze shifted to Artoria sitting at the next table, and to Eikou who was hiding his face behind a book.

[You feel Morgan's eyes on you.]

[You activate the skill "Presence Concealment B."]

[However, Morgan possesses the skill "Fairy Eyes A." Please perform a difficult opposed check.]

A die rolled right before him. When the result appeared, Eikou's heart immediately tightened in his throat.

[Check failed...]

[Even though you tried your best to suppress your presence and even hid behind a book, before Morgan's "Fairy Eyes" your hiding was completely useless.]

[You are completely exposed to Morgan!]

"My husband? Why are you here?"

Morgan's usually cool and calm voice carried a note of unmistakable surprise.

"Ehh! So he's your husband?" Shikibu exclaimed in shock.

Morgan did not answer that question. Instead, she tilted her head toward Artoria sitting beside Eikou, her fine brows drawing together as a chill of killing intent like piercing ice spread instantly:

"And you're even together with Artoria?!"

The library's warm hall instantly cooled, evoking an Orkney blizzard laden with fury.

Eikou groaned inwardly—why? Clearly last time Melusine openly "snacked" and she didn't notice a thing, yet when it's Artoria her Fairy Eyes are this sharp?!

Artoria silently looked at Morgan and said, "Do you have a problem?"

"Detestable, Red Dragon, that's the question I should be asking you."

Morgan's once-calm face now revealed open contempt.

"So what you set your sights on isn't only Britain—you even want to take my husband. No matter how greedy you are, there should be a limit. Do you also intend to seize the one I love?"

"Morgan le Fay, I truly don't understand what you're talking about, but..."

Lion King Artoria spoke, her face heavy as she slowly stood:

"But just now, those words of yours insulted me. Do you wish to taste the might of my Holy Lance?"

"You even dare mention the Holy Lance in front of me, Artoria."

Morgan retorted angrily, her killing intent surging.

In an instant, the scene turned into one of drawn swords and ready guns.

"Wait, both of you, calm down!"

Seeing the two about to clash, Eikou quickly stood up.

He thought to himself that these sisters were truly too much—quarreling without any real reason; just one image, one sentence was enough to ignite a war!

Morgan clearly had no intention of listening to explanations, and Artoria likewise didn't want to utter a word of defense. In a sense, wasn't this also a kind of "sisterly unity"?

"Don't misunderstand, Artoria-sensei is only tutoring me," he hurriedly explained, "my grades have dropped badly lately, so the school invited Artoria-sensei to coach me! That's all, there's no need for you two to fight over such a small matter!"

"My husband, don't be mistaken, the very existence of this Red Dragon alone is enough to make me murderous!"

"Normally you seem so cool and composed, why do you suddenly look like a Berserker now?" Eikou said in surprise, "Is your Mad Enhancement skill automatically triggered just by meeting Saberface?"

"Because right now I am very angry." Morgan replied coldly. "My husband, your actions disappoint me greatly. When you faced difficulties, instead of relying on me, you sought help from another woman—and that woman is my eternal enemy. Such behavior is nothing less than an insult and a betrayal to me!"

"S-sorry…"

Morgan crossed her arms in front of her chest, turning her head away in a huff: "Sorry is useless. This time, even if it's you, I will absolutely not forgive."

But your sons and daughters are way worse than I am, their "simp Artoria" level is clearly many times higher than mine.

Just like the previous speed race, the Queen of the Fairy Realm once again started getting jealous, showing a childish, spoiled attitude.

Looks like he have to coax her properly again.

"So that's how it is, you mean our relationship has come to an end then…"

Eikou deliberately sighed, pretending to be heartbroken.

Then he suddenly stepped forward a few paces, tightly grasped Morgan's hand, and pulled her toward the back of the bookshelf.

"Then before we break up, come with me behind the bookshelf, I have something very important to tell you."

"Hmph, then I'll listen to what you have to say."

Morgan only replied coldly.

Five minutes later.

During those five minutes, strange sounds echoed from behind the bookshelf.

A while after, the two of them slowly stepped out. Morgan used a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth, her appearance still calm and elegant, but her face was blushing like a young maiden.

Eikou's face was also red, but he still took the initiative to hold her hand and pull her along.

"How were you two just now?" Shikibu asked curiously.

"Don't worry, nothing serious." Eikou wiped the lipstick mark still on his neck, "We've made up."

"..."

Seeing Morgan's attitude change, Shikibu more or less guessed what the two of them had done behind there.

What on earth is this situation? Is it Eikou who has tamed this Lostbelt King, or the other way around?

Murasaki Shikibu was extremely curious!
