Chapter 19: Rain Witch
[To obtain Baobhan Sith's Noble Phantasm, you once deliberately avoided Morgan's feelings.]
[But plans always lag behind changes; even though you tried every way to delay time, in the end you still could not escape the destiny of marrying the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom…]
[However now, your stalling tactic seems to have little effect…]
[Your charm toward women has stirred Morgan's possessiveness, speeding up the marriage process.]
[It has reached the point of being forced to marry.]
[And once you officially announce your marriage to Morgan, your relationship with Baobhan Sith may completely break off.]
"Morgan, please, at least postpone it until the summer break!"
Eikou pleaded seriously,
"I still don't have much confidence in myself, whether I can grow into a man worthy of entrusting yourself to. Give me a bit more time to develop, at least wait until the end of this semester!"
"No!" Morgan answered firmly,
"Whether you're reliable or have graduated is not important, my requirement for a husband is very simple — just dedicate everything to me and that's enough."
Eikou thought that was anything but simple!
He didn't know whether to feel honored or terrified by this pressure.
He only wanted to score high in home economics to get the reward, so why did he have to trade something this important just to get 5000 QP.
It wasn't that he had any ill intention toward Morgan, it was just really inconvenient at the moment!
"You just obediently accept it, my husband, this time I won't let you run away so easily again."
Morgan leaned close to his cheek, exhaling a sweet breath by his ear,
"Tomorrow we will officially marry, and will hold a banquet inviting everyone, so that all women understand that you are my possession."
"And after that, we will build a sweet home together. If we have a son we'll name him Gedivine, if a daughter then Xaven."
"..."
Not good, the other side has already started imagining taking care of children later! By the way, can the physique of a Servant really become pregnant!?
For a moment, Eikou had no idea how to persuade Morgan.
This was no longer a matter of just coaxing a little, or simply going on a date to settle it!
…In the end, could he still delay the wedding with Morgan any longer.
Could this be called a sweet defeat?
Damn it!
"The exam is almost over, one more minute; those who have finished quickly submit so the judges can taste."
At that time, Servant Emiya began urging everyone to turn in their work.
"All right, my husband, quickly hand in your creation."
Morgan, sitting at the judges' table, looked calm, but those blue eyes had softened a lot.
Like warm sunlight shining on snowy peaks, radiant and full of hope for the future.
Being looked at with eyes like that, he really couldn't say any words of refusal.
It's over, really going to be dragged off to marry!
Eikou almost saw his single life waving goodbye to him, along with the route with Baobhan Sith and the Noble Phantasm leaving as well!
After all he was still a man, and the other side had gone this far, he couldn't keep avoiding it completely.
"My exam piece is this——"
Eikou held up with both hands the heart-shaped chocolate he had specially made for her.
"Is that so, let me clearly see your feelings."
Morgan accepted the heart-shaped chocolate, gracefully biting a small piece.
She chewed lightly, letting the sweet softness melt in her mouth, spreading a warm feeling.
Morgan slightly widened her eyes in surprise, the taste of the chocolate startled her.
"As expected of my husband, to be able to recreate the taste of chocolate I once ate at the Rain Clan."
She narrowed her eyes with a girlish smile, picking up the scorecard,
"Chocolate just like you — perfect score!"
Just as he had predicted, Morgan seemed to really like this chocolate flavor.
After all, he made it for her.
Yet in the very next second, Eikou suddenly felt that something was not right.
He blinked in doubt, thinking he had seen wrong.
"Morgan, you..."
"What is it, my husband?"
Eikou rubbed his eyes, puzzled as he asked:
"Why did your hair suddenly turn golden?"
More precisely, Morgan's smooth snow-white hair was, bit by bit, changing into a brilliant sun-gold right before his eyes, plainly visible to the naked eye.
And she seemed completely unaware of it.
Not only did the hair color change, but her face, once cold and untouched by earthly dust, now revealed a soft, innocent look like that of a young girl.
"Umu? What's happening..."
Only now did Morgan begin to feel the obvious change in her body.
She lowered her head to look, her face full of confusion,
"Protection of the Lake of the Fairy of the Lake, why is it suddenly increasing…"
"Why am I suddenly..."
Before long, those deep blue eyes had turned to a green like Artoria's.
[She had only just eaten your chocolate when her Spirit Origin underwent a strange change.]
[Right before your eyes, Morgan was surrounded by a mysterious light.]
[Her Spirit Origin had changed to a certain degree, and even her appearance as well.]
[Rather than calling it a Spirit Origin Ascension, it was more like her Spirit Origin being modified to a certain extent.]
[What appeared before you was...]
In just a few short seconds, Morgan's Spirit Origin transformed to an unimaginable extent.
The first thing that caught Eikou's eye was her hair.
The silky pure-white hair from before had now become brilliant golden hair, braided simply, making her look like a quiet, well-behaved girl next door.
When Eikou clearly saw Morgan's appearance now, he couldn't help holding his breath.
The person in front of him was not the majestic, awe-inspiring Queen of the Fairy he knew, but a blonde girl with round glasses, eyes gentle like a fawn.
"Umu? Where is this...?"
The green-eyed blonde girl looked around with confusion.
Noticing Eikou's stunned gaze, the girl tilted her head cutely and frowned at him,
"Hello there, mister, why are you looking at me with such a strange expression?"
"..."
It took Eikou a full ten seconds to somewhat grasp the situation.
The person before him was not the Morgan he knew, but a younger version of her — Rain Witch, Aesc the Savior!!!
