Chapter 30 - A Truth About Her Family



After witnessing the magic that Eleonora shows, all of them believed on Eleonora. Believing that Eleonora's word of taking care the dungeon isn't mere words or just false hope. They then guide Eleonora to the place where the dungeon located is and of course during the walk to the dungeon, Eleonora shows all of her skills to convince them that she can handle the dungeon without any problem.

Later, when arrived at the dungeon, trying to taking care of it quickly; Eleonora facing the monsters with numbers. She use [Shadow Clone Technique] she learned from a manga called Naruto and trying to win the fight with numbers, since her opponent's is Kobold; a humanoid wolf and dog who came with pack and it's always trouble some 'Awakened'.

'Luckily I have [Shadow Clone Technique]. Although I can make clone technique too using [Magic Creation], it would be waste to use it at the technique that I've already learned. Maybe later I have to increases my so-called 'Jutsu' by reading or watching Naruto.'

The kobolds didn't cannot fight back and ended up defeated or killed. Eleonora didn't surprised but it was her second fight with monster, since her first fight was with goblin and she also ended it in flash; although she's a bit overkill by firing powerful fireball.

After defeated and killed all of the kobolds, including the boss, the dungeon then disappears. It's remind her about a manhwa called Solo Leveling, but she just hope the dungeon didn't respawned or it will bring more trouble in the future.

She also someone who would rather use powerful spell to end something quickly rather than stalling. Unless if her opponent piqued her interest then she would stall her opponent and enjoying the reaction, she can be quite sadist.

Finished with the dungeon business, Eleonora then coming to Hotaru's home together since the dungeon took her a lot of time and the school time already over, making Hotaru and her friends going back to their home while Eleonora going together with Hotaru since she would stay in Ichijou's residence for the time being until her vacation is over… maybe.

On their way to going home, Eleonora and Hotaru held their hands together, the long bluish-haired chairman just smiling seeing the happy Hotaru right now and that smile of her really worth it. The childish side of Hotaru is really warming Eleonora's heart, she love the honest side of her rather than trying to be a.d.u.l.t; although she has no rights to said or thinking like that since she's also act like an a.d.u.l.t when she's not.

Even Hotaru humming happily. Eleonora couldn't help but snorted and stroke Hotaru's soft hair which makes the girl startled feeling the touch of her girlfriend. But Eleonora just give her a smile and kisses her on the lips, giving her chaste kiss which also made Hotaru's eyes widened in surprise but she kisses her back.

After a minute, they then broke the kiss and Hotaru's now all red because of the embarrassment.

"L-Leo, you' re tease… suddenly kissing me."

Hotaru glancing shyly at Eleonora who cuckled at how adorable the black-haired young girl behavior right now.

"Sorry, sorry. But I can tease my girlfriend as much as I want, right? Also, you're just too adorable."

"Geez…! I'm seriously can't make you stop from doing it, huh…"

"That's right. I mean, seeing how happy you are with us holding hands together is something I can't miss. You're really too pure and innocent, Hotarun."

Calling her nickname, Hotaru blushing again in embarrassment. It's really felt amazing hearing the sound of Eleonora calling her with that nickname and very different from whenever her friends used to call her like that. It's something like… special feeling.

She didn't hate it, but embarrassing to hear it.

Hotaru just smiling while blushing in embarrassment. Whenever Eleonora call her with that nickname, she couldn't help but feeling happy and want to hear it more from her beloved girlfriend. But she shy to admit it, not like she's tsundere or anything.

Snapped back to normal, she realizes what she do and faking her cough.

"You're really care for me, Leo."

Eleonora nodded at Hotaru with big and beautiful smile adorning her face.

"Of course. I only doing that to the people I love and so precious to me. I'll also won't forget about you or anyone, even if I had multiple girlfriends. My affection is equal to each of you. Although I felt a bit guilty by having multiple girlfriends or people would call it harem."

She said that while laughing awkwardly. Hotaru just snorted and smiled warmly to Eleonora.

"No problem, I won't blame you. You're special and unique person. People would definitely find you attractive and be attracted to you. You're also kind, caring, charismatic, and anything. People also want to look at you as their role figure. They want to be like you or be with you; just like me."

"…Is that so? Then I was really lucky to be viewed like that."

Eleonora said that as she wrapped her arms and hug Hotaru from behind. Hotaru then touch Eleonora's arms and nodded at Eleonora.

"So, my beloved girlfriend… want to ride on Eleonora's Express?"

This made Hotaru has confused face on her.

"Eleonora's Express…? What is that?"

"You just stay still while I carry you like this…"

Eleonora tell her while she adjust her and Hotaru's position as Eleonora currently carry the black-haired girl on her arms like a princess, she yelped a bit when the young chairman did that and continue to speak of it.

"..and, here we go. [Teleportation]."

"L-Leo, what is this—"

As Hotaru about to finished her sentence, both of their body suddenly vanished from their current place and only leaving a trail of faint light, making them teleported from here to the place that was designated as the checkpoint of where Eleonora want to go while princess-carry Hotaru on her arms tightly after imbuing some spells to Hotaru; to make sure her black-haired girlfriend didn't feel any nausea or dizzy because the side effect of her teleportation used by bringing another person beside her.

Theodore claps his hands, gaining the attention of his wife and his Servant.

"Alright, I already inform Elly about it and Merlin, although I don't want you to be her tutor in magic, I cannot deny you're well-versed in that field. Aside from you, I have another candidate to taught her about magic, such as that old vampire, that Arabian guy who has 72 djinn, Tohsaka family, Einzbern family, and more. But it's a pity I can't make a contact with them."

He sighed when saying that, earning a comfort on the back from his wife who smiled at him. Merlin just laughing softly at his Master who said that. He couldn't help but agree with what he said but it can't be helped, he already Summon him since it's impossible for him to summon one more or more than one Servant. His magic circuit is already beyond the brink and could only afford for one summoning, if not for the fact Merlin has to rely on human foods and so on to kept himself on whenever he want to materialize himself on the world.

He want to help his Master but he can't.

'Maybe his only hope is his daughter… I heard from Master and his wife that his daughter is very talented and gifted, as if she's the goddess herself and not a human. If that's true, then I'd like to meet with her and taught her all I know about magic.'

He thought of that while drink the cup of tea that Yuuka prepared for him. After drinking for a few cups, Merlin then stopped and put down the cup of the tea and decided to speak about something that bothers him to his Master.

"Master, I have a question. Maybe a few more if you answer it, can I?"

Theodore blinked and went silent for a few seconds until he nodded at Merlin with curious look, which earning a permission from him to given to Merlin, the Magus of Flowers. Seeing that respond, Merlin then gladly took the permission and opportunity to ask something that bothers him.

Something that doesn't match up with he thought.

"If I am allowed to be blunt, is your daughter… really human…?"

When hearing the question directly from Merlin's mouth, both parents went silent and thinking of it a bit. What he said may be true, but if she really isn't human, then what it could be? They already knew that fact, one of the greatest secret that Eleonora's hold since her birth. So asking this was kind of pointless for Merlin since both of them are already knew that big fact.

The moment Theodore felt the mana of Eleonora who is close to divine, is the moment when he has the solid proof of Eleonora's existence. Anything about Eleonora is abnormal, she is beyond human or normal grasp, even he kind of overwhelmed by learning that facts.

That's why Theodore snorting.

"Yeah, I already knew that. Elly ain't human… at least for now. I knew she was something else. Maybe soon she will become a deity? A goddess perhaps…? Her potential is still untapped although in the term of gamers, she is actually overpowered. Yet she still inexperienced and young. Give her a year and she would be the strongest person in this world."

Merlin couldn't say anything. He lost of words as he cannot letting out any words to say from his mouth. But he then continue to speak.

"Then, aren't you afraid if she did something… like harming humanity or this world?"

Again, Theodore snorting at Merlin words.

"Honestly? I don't care that much, she practically can do anything she want. My family in here, nothing left since Pendragon is basically myth or fictional in this world. Although if I recall, Yuuka still has some siblings or so."

Yuuka nods her head when her husband said that.

"You are right, dear. My family isn't extinct like yours or anything. They just loves secrecy. They don't want to expose themselves to the world as they kept saying that humanity isn't ready yet to face the fact of that and we knew that human history is always full of greed."

"I can't deny that. That's why if Elly ain't human, I am actually glad if she's like that. She can pratically becomes anything she want. Be it human, elf, spirit, or anything. She has the power to do that and nobody could stop them. It's her life anyway and that's why I don't want Elly to spend her entire life in paperworks or works."

Once again, what they said left Merlin to speechless. Eleonora's parents really support her and willing to let her do anything. Even Theodore give his daughter the choice to be free and let herself to enjoy her life, instead of just bury herself in paperworks and such.

Merlin sighing and slightly nods his head.

"Then, I think she's worthy to be taught by me about magic. Sorry Master, I wouldn't want to taught her magic even if you forced me to do, even if you used your Command Seal to me. After hearing all of that from both of you, I conclude that I'll take in the pleasure to tutor him some magic; maybe the basic or advanced if she can surpass me in certain extent."

Theodore grinning at that.

"Huh. I already saw her talents and potential, without a doubt she would surpass you and that's why I could see why she decided to hire Martial Arts instructor to taught her some martial arts, she realize the basic weakness of magician or mage, some of them aren't well-versed in hand-to-hand or close combat."

Merlin blinked in surprise knowing that.

"Really? Seems Master is smart enough to know about that. So she aiming to cover that weakness and be an expert both in close combat and long range combat. I cannot wait to taught her about it."

Merlin said with interest as he smiled. He really cannot wait when he taught his Master's daughter and observing what kind of person she is from what he heard.

Pudding Lover: "Heeeey, anyone here?!"

Sword Princess: "I am here. What's wrong, @Pudding Lover-san?"

Pudding Lover: "Ah… I'm just wondering if any of you can learn some new techniques, whether it's magic or anything, by the guide files in the chat group's doc.u.ment. I mean, since @Queen of Sweets can do that, I just have a thought that maybe some or all of us can do it too. If we can, then I think it will give us good benefits a lot!"

The Florist Succubus: "Umh. That was a great idea, @Pudding Lover-san! I'd love to learn some martial arts or anything that I am lacking off. I cannot depend on my plants, tail, or equipment alone if I wanted to protect myself. I also can't always need the protection from my sisters or parents."

King of Knight: "If some of you are interested in swordmanship, I recommend you to learn some of it from the files I've already put in the group's doc.u.ment. Also, I think close quarter combat or hand-to-hand combat is something I must learnt. I cannot be depended on sword forever, despite my class is Saber and always rely on sword."

Demon Mommy: "Then, I think we should find the guide files that suits to us. Like for example, if the world we live doesn't have magic, then it's possible that we can't learn magic no matter how persistent we are."

Bloodsucker Black Serpent: "I think if we don't have magic, we can use a method to inject some magic onto our body. I know it's a bit dangerous, but if someone insisted to want to use magic, then it's one of the choice. Or using magic device, although it's a bit ineffective and not so efficient like magic."

Demon Mommy: "It's certainly the other way to let someone to use magic, but it's quite dangerous. My advice is if you're not desperate enough, then you shouldn't use it. Mommy don't want to see anyone in pain or hurt because of that. Though, it's lucky for us that Servant capable to use magecraft or magic in another word since all living beings in our world has Prana."

Sword Princess: "Me too. I also has magic and can use it. Maybe I also learn other techniques to make myself more stronger."

Demon Sword Muramasa: "Swordmanship? @King of Knight I'd like to learn your swordmanship. I'm curious about another swordmanship beside mine."

King of Knight: "Certainly! You can learn it by downloading the files I've already put on the group's doc.u.ment. I hope you can liked it when read and learn the swordmanship. If possible, I also expect some critics or such to improve my swordmanship."

Demon Sword Muramasa: "@King of Knight Don't worry, I will."

After visiting Asahigaoka and take a look of the condition of the village, also to make a visit to Hotaru and her friends, Eleonora then being offered to stay over for a few days in Ichijou's residence. Being the good girlfriend she is, Eleonora then accept their generosity in no time. It would be rude to reject the good will of them, especially if they are kind enough and it comes from the parents of Eleonora's girlfriend.

Hotaru even begged cutely and act childish to Eleonora since she want her girlfriend to stay over in her house and in the same room with her. The black-haired girl want to being close with the long bluish-haired girl because it's kind of rare for Eleonora to spend her days off and Hotaru really expecting it the moment they had a call and contacting each other.

Both Eleonora and Hotaru cherish this moment since it's important, Eleonora knew that because of how busy she is, there's no free time to deepen her relationship with others, especially her girlfriends and she actually felt glad to the decision to take days off from work.

In Asahigaoka, she also not fooling around and just playing, she also pay visit to the Roozlent branch of this village. They greeted her cheerfully the moment she entered the building. Luckily, the villagers seems not rejecting or throw any protest to Roozlent and welcomed them greatly since it's also easier their life and become more convenience.

And after staying for a few days in Asahigaoka, Eleonora's mind feels refreshed and the peaceful feeling of this village really calm her. The dungeon that becomes the problem is already solved and there's nothing to worry about by the villages and her.

Eleonora and Hotaru also had a date, although there's no many places to visit in this remote and small village, but they still enjoy it. Both agreed to do their date in village rather in Tokyo, since it would be a great experience to have a date in village like this.

This vacation she took really giving her such great time, although she knew that when the vacation is over, she has to work again. Not only her girlfriends and friends are important, her company is also important and she cannot ignore it.

And Eleonora could see the tears coming out of Hotaru's eyes right now, when she about to leave her and her parents because the vacation she took already over these past days. Eleonora then cares Hotaru's cheeks and rubs the tears as she smiled at Hotaru.

"Hey Hotarun, don't cry like that."

"But… you have to go back work again, Leo. I don't want for us to separate."

Hotaru's parents who watch them could only smile as Hotaru's mother speak.

"Ah, youngster. They really lovey-dovey. Don't you think, dear?"

Her husband just laugh in response of his wife.

"But I think you're bothering Leo too much, Hotaru. Don't be like that."

Hearing her father saying that, Hotaru then agaping and went in surprise.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeh? No no no! I want Leo to stay in our home a little bit! We can right, Leo? Right?!"

Eleonora just snorted and stroke Hotaru's hair gently which make the black-haired girl sobbing even more knowing what Eleonora mean by just seeing the face she make. Eleonora then sees Hotaru's parents and they nods their heads to her which she response with a nod too.

"Don't worry, Hotarun. I'll visit you whenever I have a free time, so don't cry, okay?"

Hotaru nodded slightly and stopped her sobbing.

"Umh. I know."

"Thanks, Hotarun. Also, thank you for allowing to stay for a few days, Haruka-san, Kazuki-san."

Both Haruka and Kazuki just laughed as Haruka waving her hand.

"It's no problem, Nora-chan. You can stay over as much as you want."

"She's right. Hotaru always miss you if you are not."

"Haha. Alright, I'll leave now."

With that, Eleonora then bid her farewell to Ichijou's family and leaving the house as well the village, when she walking through the village, she also visit some of the house Hotaru's friends have and bid them farewell too. Komari and Natsumi seemed sad but cannot be helped since it's given, Renge also insisted that Eleonora should stayed in the village, but Kazuho scold her to not bother Eleonora.

"Hah! Nora-nee want to leave?! But I still want to play with you!"

"Renge, you can't do that. Pendragon-san is busy with work and need to make sure her parents is okay. I'm sure her parents also miss her if she isn't in home."

"Is that so? Then I will not make Nora-nee and her parents worry! I also don't want Kazu-nee and Hika-nee leaving me, so it's okay Nora-nee."

Seeing the obedient child, Eleonora couldn't help but giggle and stroke Renge's hair gently. Renge purring in joy as she enjoy the soft touch and feeling of Eleonora's hand on her hair. Kazuho who watch it just snorted seeing Renge's reaction and nods her head when facing Eleonora's face as if she's understand what her look mean.

'Renge is really cute and adorable. Although she's always full of enthusiasm and can give some people trouble because of her curiosity.'

"Thank you, Renge. Don't miss me too much, okay? And please protect Hotaru when I'm not here."

Renge immediately saluting to her.

"Don't worry, Nora-nee! Renge will protect Hotarun and others! After all, I have a legendary sword in my hand. Look!"

Renge said as she lifted her hand which holding a branch stick of tree. Both Eleonora and Kazuho just laughing at each other because of how cute Renge believing that was a legendary sword, because Eleonora herself already use [Observe] and didn't find anything than it was being ordinary stick. But she just quiet about it and went along.

"Okay, then use that legendary sword to punish the bad guy! I'm counting on you, Renge."

"Um! Leave it to me!"

"And Kazuho-san, please take care of others too."

Kazuho just giving her a thumbs up with her usual lazy face.

"Oh, that's no problem. Keep yourself safe when going back, okay? Renge and others will be sad if you're not."

Eleonora just laughing at that as she nodded at her.

After seeing that's done for everyone, she then about to find a quiet place and used her teleportation spell to going back quickly to her home. After all, if you have something convenient, it's best to use the full potential of it rather than just ignoring. It's also doesn't waste any time when being used.

------

Merlin blinked. He feels a powerful mana coming and it's going closer. It seems the person who has that mana is trying to get here. But he isn't on guard or anything since he don't feel any threat or harm in the mana, rather it's harmless despite being so powerful. He only sense it on a whim, that the mana is enough to make him kneel and is surpass him; he, who called the Strongest Mage, is feels inferior when feeling this powerful mana.

It's almost limitless and divine… he tried to be calm. Even his Master and his wife didn't feel any threat seeing the smiles on their faces. He then turn his head and facing something behind him, a magical reaction from teleportation magic. A strong magical reaction coming from the caster itself, it's showing a figure of woman who's in her early twenty.

At that moment, Merlin couldn't help but blushing. His cheeks became red. No, he don't feel any charm magic, the woman in front of him isn't doing anything like that. It's all pure of charm from the woman, without any magic or anything, although that charm or charisma of her is converted as skills, but it's actually natural. Merlin could see it too, there's no trace of magic being used on him.

It's as if... he looking at the embodiment of beauty. It made him speechless and dazing at the woman, but Merlin trying his best to not look weird. He also can sense the majestic and charismatic quality of King coming from that woman.

'She... truly fit to be a King.'

Seeing a woman who are familiar to him, Theodore then spoke with happy face and tone.

"Elly! You are coming back, huh. How's your vacation?"

"It's great, Dad. And I'm back, Mom, Dad."

Both parents smiled at giving her a warm welcoming hug to her.

"Welcome home, honey. I hope you're doing fine when away from home."

"I'm fine, Mom and thanks for worrying me. I have a lot of fun when take a vacation."

They then broke the hug and smiling at each others. Thedore grinning and Yuuka giggling as she cover her mouth with her hand while Eleonora scratch her cheeks in embarrassment seeing the reaction of her parents.

"Right? That's what we always want to tell you. You're still young, so don't busy yourself with works. Of course I knew you love works so much, but cut it loose for a while. With me still kicking around and healthy, it's originally my responsible."

"But Dad… I'm not hate it! I'm doing it with because I like it. Mom, please say it to dad."

But Yuuka shake her head in disagreement with her daughter.

"No, Ellen. Your dad is right. You don't have to burden yourself with a.d.u.l.t things. You may have the appearance of a.d.u.l.t, but you're still young in a sense. We knew you're genius and all, but you must know how to have fun too instead of holed up in your office and stuck with paperworks and all."

Hearing that, Eleonora couldn't help but sighing in defeat and nods weakly, resulting in her parents smiles widened.

"Then, what if I still want to take care of the company when I'm told to have fun?"

"You don't have to keep coming to your office. You can just appoint someone to act as your replacement for a while. That's why I volunteer to do it. You can doing it through online or anything. With that, you can still manage the company from outside."

"Hmm… okay then. I will do that."

Eleonora said that as her parents smiles in delight while the long bluish-haired young girl turn her head away to look at Merlin who remain quiet for a while and already snapping back to his reality and act normal with smile adorning his face.

"And… who is he?"

Theodore and Yuuka blinked when their daughter said that, her father then spoke.

"Ah, he is… how should I said it. Do you know about our family name?"

"Yes. I believe it's Pendragon. It's from Arthurian Legend, right? Is that even true that we have some connection to King Arthur? I mean, it's a fiction, people believe it's unhistorical."

Theodore shaking his head in disagreement and went to explain it to his daughter. At first, Eleonora's face remain unchanged, until he told her that he's actually from another dimension and somehow get thrown in this dimension or world to live as ordinary person. He also said that she's probably the last direct descendant of King Arthur or in their case is Arthuria Pendragon.

But something bugging her.

"Wait, my ancestor is Arthuria Pendragon?"

Eleonora ask with confused face and her father nodded.

"Yeah, she is. You probably knew about a series called Fate/Stay Night, right? That story is actually based on real thing, but the creator didn't aware of that. Some details might be changed and didn't accurate according to our history, but it's a fact. You have the rights to inherit King Arthur's treasures, including the rights to be king and Excalibur. You have the rights to rule Britain, but knowing you Elly, I think you don't want to do that."

"That's certainly true… I don't want to rule Britain but it still a huge shock for me, Dad. Merlin-san… is it? I vaguely remember seeing you in some website. I believe you made appearance in a mobile game called Fate Grand/Order and anime about it."

Being mentioned like that, Merlin couldn't help but felt a tremendous joy in his entire body. He then bowing slightly and politely to the future king of Britain and probably the last descendant of King Arthur herself. It's very different when he facing Arthuria, although he's charmed by Arthuria's charisma, Eleonora is a bit different to him.

"Indeed. My King. I am actually a byproduct of imagination that comes from human's mind in this world. They think I am just a fictional character, since this is originally a world without supernatural and such. But it's changed, I don't know when exactly it's changed."

Eleonora rubs her chin as she thinking about what Merlin said and nods.

"Alright. I got the gist of it and to think King Arthur or Arthuria Pendragon that I watch from Fate Stay/Night is actually my ancestor… I don't know how to deal with it. But if it means I can use her Excalibur and it's explain my weird circ.u.mstance about how I growing d.i.c.k, then I'm okay."

"Sorry for the inconvenience, My King. I do not think or foresee that the magic I've used on the young Arthuria caused some trouble like this. Please forgive my mistake and if you want, you can punish me whatever you want."

Eleonora sighing and waving her hands.

"Nah, I don't want to but seeing that dad can envoke Servant Summoning despite in this world, that's mean I can use it too?"

Merlin nodded at that, confirming the doubt of Eleonora.

"Certainly. The Throne of Heroes would react to your summon even if from another dimension. Originally it's only on my dimension, but with the discovering of Foreigner-class, and your father existence in this world then that boundary that chain between each dimension is creating a loophole."

"So it's like that. I understand and dad, you want me to be taught under him about magic?"

Eleonora turn her head to her father which only receiving nods from him.

"Yeah… originally I don't want it, but it can't be helped. You want to learn about your secret right? Then unleash your [true] potential. Study a magic from him and reach that. I believe that you want to go somewhere with your friends next month, right? And you need to be strong in order to do that."

The young chairman went silent and sighing while smiling in defeat at her father.

"Honestly, Dad. If this the surprise you've talking about, then I'm really surprised. Fine, I'll under your care, Merlin-sensei. Please train me until I've got better and may surpass you."

Merlin chuckled at the enthusiasm that showed by Eleonora.

"Then My King, the first step is to unlock the main treasure of King Arthur. You must knew about it. The main armament that she used in her past as knight, as a king. An armament, a weapon that became the legend of many people. Said that it was forged by fairy, god, or anyone in many source; you have the rights to wield that."

Merlin said that while he reveals a golden key with a dragon head on the head of the key.

"This is the key to unlock the Excalibur."
