Chapter 405:

Yu-hyun walked along the forest path with Kay’s guidance.

He had no choice but to follow him, now that he knew where Seo Sumin was.

“Wow. I never thought you were her colleague. You never know what people are up to.”

“How did Miss Sumin end up staying as a guest of Mabinogion?”

“Just like that. It just happened.”

Kay chuckled and giggled all the way. He seemed to find something very amusing.

“But it seems like nothing bad happened.”

“No? Of course not. It was very serious at the time, if you look at the situation.”

“Huh? Then why are you laughing?”

“Well, because it was funny.”

“But you said it was serious.”

“It was serious, but it was fun.”

What kind of nonsense is that?

Yu-hyun looked at him with a bewildered expression, but Kay didn’t care at all.

“What? I’m just telling you my honest impression.”

“Kay... sir.”

“Just call me Kay.”

“... Aren’t you a knight of the Round Table?”

“That’s right. I’m also a Divine Spirit of Mabinogion.”

“... But you laugh and say it’s fun when your own territory is in chaos?”

“Normally, they wouldn’t, but I’m different. Those knights and whatnot, they’re all too rigid and boring, aren’t they? I don’t like that kind of thing.”

Kay didn’t try to hide his honesty at all.

He said he was free-Divine Spirited, pragmatic, and liked fun things.

That’s what he was.

He valued money over honor, practicality over glory, and pure fun over chivalry.

He did the same when Mara Papayas fled to their territory, followed by Seo Sumin who chased after him.

It was amazing. But he thought it was fun.

The Demon King from beyond the adjacent realm was running away.

The one chasing him was a beautiful woman with white hair, and the other knights who usually acted stern were in a panic.

How often could he see such a thing in his life?

He didn’t tell Yu-hyun, but in fact Kay laughed like crazy at that time.

He got hit hard on the back of his head by his half-brother Arthur, who told him to calm down, but he thought it was worth it for the fun spectacle.

“You were on guard duty though.”

“It’s my job. I still have to do what I’m given, even if I don’t like it.”

“... I see.”

Yu-hyun felt like he had a rough idea of what kind of person Kay was as he talked to him.

‘A knight who occupies a knight’s position, but is more pragmatic than anyone else.’

Basically, knights are dreamers of romance and have rigid personalities.

Yu-hyun knew what knights were like because he had experienced the most rigid knight up close and inherited his will.

In that sense, calling Kay a knight was an insult to knights.

He was closer to a free and easy mercenary.

He looked like a knight from a fairy tale, but his words and actions were the opposite.

But Yu-hyun felt comfortable with him somehow, so he decided not to point it out.

In fact, he also had the story of a knight, but he didn’t have much awareness of being a knight.

“Well, I don’t have anything to say about that since you say so yourself. Not all knights are like that, and everyone has their own personality.”

“Oh. You’re quite open-minded. That’s good. The world is too uptight these days. I know knights are always stiff and boring, but they’ve gotten worse lately.”

“Is there any problem?”

“No, not really a problem. Just that the things I used to enjoy are gone.”

“Things you used to enjoy?”

“The Story Library closed down.”

“Oh.”

First of all, Seo Sumin was an intruder who entered Daesung Army’s territory without permission, so they decided to hold her for a while for Daesung Army’s sake.

“I thought she would cause a lot of trouble, but surprisingly she followed along obediently. It was lucky for both sides.”

“That’s a relief for both sides.”

“Originally, the atmosphere was very tense. We had to save our face, and that lady looked like she wouldn’t be satisfied unless she caught the Demon King she was chasing right away. We almost collided with each other.”

There were also divided opinions within Mabinogion.

Some said to send Seo Sumin away quickly, and some said that she was an intruder and they had pride and couldn’t just let her go.

Kay clicked his tongue as if he was annoyed by remembering it.

“Tsk. How noisy they were about their pride. We have a bomb inside our territory right now, what does pride matter?”

“But it worked out somehow.”

“The opinions didn’t match each other, and that lady’s anger went all the way to the point of almost exploding. Then Gareth came back from his mission.”

And after Gareth said he wanted to see the guest, Seo Sumin’s complaints disappeared like magic.

Yu-hyun could roughly guess what Gareth had told her.

He must have explained that he had returned and what had happened to Kang Hye-rim, who had been the Black Thunder Lord.

Thanks to Gareth, Seo Sumin calmed down and agreed to stay in Mabinogion’s territory for a while.

She was technically imprisoned, but she was treated like a guest and stayed in Camelot’s castle with Gareth’s merit.

“Here we are. This is Camelot.”

As they crossed the lake and climbed over the hill, they saw a huge castle city beyond it.

The towers that soared high enough to pierce the sky boasted a scale that did not lose to Old Town.

This place was where the Knights of the Round Table resided and also a large city that accounted for one axis of Great Army Mabinogion.

Yu-hyun and Kay reached the well-paved road.

Soldiers in armor were guarding it, but they recognized Kay and immediately made way for him.

“Come on. Let’s go.”

There were four roads leading to Camelot: east, west, south and north.

They were huge drawbridges that were over 100m wide and many carriages and people were moving on them.

Yu-hyun glanced down at the railing below the drawbridge.

‘It’s very high.’

There was a steep cliff below the drawbridge.

The fact that they could build such a large bridge with only stone showed the amazingness of the construction technology of the mixed world.

As they crossed the drawbridge and passed the main gate, they could see more details of Camelot.

As they walked along the well-paved road, they soon reached the main castle of Camelot.

As if to prove it, the level of the knights guarding the entrance of the main castle was clearly different from that of the drawbridge entrance.

“Sir Kay?”

“I brought a guest. Open the door.”

“Ah, yes, sir.”

The knights who recognized Kay opened the door right away.

Inside the main castle, there was a scene of knights training and sweating.

They looked at Yu-hyun who came in with Kay with curious eyes.

Some of them even sent suspicious glances at him.

“They’re all very nervous, huh?”

“Yeah, well.”

“It can’t be helped. The situation is so tense these days that they have to be sensitive about this. Here we are.”

Kay said that and opened the door of the guest room.

He didn’t have to tell him where this was and who was waiting inside.

Yu-hyun knew it even before he opened the door, from the light that came out of the gap in the door.

It was a rainbow-colored book that had changed even more brilliantly than when he had seen it before.

And below it, a woman who was lying lazily on a soft sofa like a cat taking a nap.

“Hmm?”

At the same time as Yu-hyun found her, she also found Yu-hyun and opened her eyes wide. Her body bounced up from her seat and stood on the ground.

Yu-hyun wondered what to say and awkwardly smiled and waved his hand.

“Long time no see?”
