A wild 'Otto' appears!

Welt's built-in "Otto-Radar" went off. He instantly whipped off his glasses, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp, as if he could see through Penacony's dreamscape from the Express.

He couldn't be mistaken. That aura... that stress-inducing, unforgettable aura... It was like it was personally greeting him:

Old friend... did you miss me?

"Joachim! What the **** are you muttering about?! I'm talking to you! How dare you space out!"

"Hiss—!"

Welt was suddenly grabbed by the ear by a "red lobster" (Tesla), and he sucked in a sharp breath of pain. His composed expression instantly crumbled.

"Tesla! Ow, ow, ow! Let go!" Welt immediately begged for mercy.

He had no idea what was happening. A red summoning circle had suddenly appeared under his feet, and his wife, Tesla, had appeared out of thin air.

(Kenji: Oh? A 'Holy Husband'?)

March 7th and the others all agreed: this was some good "melon" (gossip).

The composed, dignified Welt... was actually at the bottom of the family hierarchy. How pitiful.

It's just that... a lot of what this red-haired woman was saying was getting bleeped out: Beep... beep... beep...

Tesla was a rare kind of... "wonderful" woman.

"Let go?"

"You ditch us on Earth to go 'vacationing' by yourself?" Tesla's fingers pinched even harder.

"Uncle Yang... I never knew you were this kind of person." March 7th's gaze turned to one of disdain. Welt, who was like an elder to them, had actually abandoned his wife and child?

"There's a reason for it!" Welt was sweating bullets. My image...

If he could go back, he would have!

"Explain. I'm listening," Tesla said flatly.

[Servant: Tesla]

[Class: Caster]

[Stats: Strength, D; Agility, D; Luck, B...]

[...]

[Noble Phantasms: Anti-Entropy Titan, Silver Bullet (Atomic Bomb)...]

...

The stats and Noble Phantasms were fine... but what made Welt's composure crack was... what the hell was that "Anti-Welt (Special Attack)" trait?!

Logically, he should have been the one summoning her. Why was she a counter to him?

A similar scene was playing out on Penacony. Kallen was, in a way, Otto's "Special Attack" counter.

...

"Are you my Master?"

Hoshi (Stelle), this time, hadn't summoned Artoria, but a knight in a horned helmet.

"That's right! It's me! I am your 'Mastah'!" Hoshi (Stelle) said, hands on her hips, puffing out her chest.

"..."

"Hahaha! You're a pretty interesting Master!"

With a hearty laugh, the helmet vanished, revealing a roguish face, its smile tinged with madness.

Hoshi (Stelle) instantly froze. That face... was a bit familiar.

"I am Mordred! The one and only true heir to the Knight King, Arthur Pendragon!" Mordred's voice was strong and clear.

"Oh! You're that 'rebellious son' who got 'kebab'd' by 'Ria (Artoria)!"

Hoshi (Stelle) clapped her hands. Seeing the face, she immediately knew who it was.

"DON'T MENTION THAT!"

Mordred's face flushed red, completely humiliated. Don't bring up that dark history!

Are you kidding me?! Is this Master this 'abstract'? Bringing that up right out of the gate!

"Yo. Your 'beloved son' is here," Kenji said, nudging the three "Kings."

"Isn't he your 'beloved son' too?" the Lion King said with a smile.

Kenji thought about it... Yeah, true. Even without any blood relation, Mordred was his "beloved son."

"Mordred... still as much of a handful as ever," Saber Alter scratched her head.

"Anyway, let's go see."

Artoria's expression was complicated. A reunion with her "beloved son"... in another world.

The three Kings walked toward Mordred. Kenji and Elysia followed, both holding melons.

"Hmm?!"

Although Mordred's back was to them, she sensed something. Her eyes sharpened.

Could it be...?

Realizing the possibility, Mordred gripped her "Dad-Betraying" Sword.

[Clarent Blood Ar—]

...

Who are you trying to betray?

Three sharp glares... no words were spoken, but the message was clear.

Before Mordred could even unleash her Noble Phantasm, two swords and a spear were already at her neck. Are you "moved" or not?

Excalibur... that's the real deal.

Rhongomyniad... she felt a phantom pain in her chest.

"Three... Father-Kings?"

Mordred was stunned. Two had 'ahoges' (cowlicks), one didn't. That one must be the fake.

The 'ahoge' is the King's glory! Father would never abandon his 'ahoge'!

"What are you doing with your weapon out? Trying to 'betray your dad'?" Saber Alter looked at Mordred with a half-smile.

The sword-light flowing from the blade made Mordred's neck tingle.

"This... I haven't used it in a while... Just... taking it out to polish it," Mordred said awkwardly.

If it was one Father-King, she could rebel. But this many... if she rebelled, she would really die.

As she spoke, she started wiping her sword with the corner of her shirt.

Master! Why didn't you tell me about this situation?!

Facing Mordred's resentful glare, Hoshi (Stelle) just looked up at the sky.

How was I supposed to know I'd summon "Mo-san"? And how was I supposed to know you'd try to 'betray your dad' right out of the gate?

"Mo-san, I am your father," Kenji said with a sincere face.

"Huh? Who the f*** are you?!"

Mordred instantly cursed, looking at Kenji like an angry lion.

You want to be my 'old man'? Who do you think you are?

"Mordred... call him 'Father'," the Lion King said, "supporting" Kenji as she linked her arm with his.

Kenji felt his arm being enveloped in softness... As expected of a King who understands the 'heart'.

"HAH?"

"Father-King! Are you in your right mind!?"

"Him?! He's not worthy of you!"

Mordred's eye twitched. So... it's not a joke? He's really my 'Dad'?

"Mordred, do not speak to your father like that," the Lion King said sternly.

"I... ******* (British curse words)!"

Hearing her Father-King say that, combined with Kenji's teasing look... her "defense" was broken. She cursed again.

Why was I summoned here?! This is just... torture!

"...'Mother-Queen'. That works, right?"

After a deep breath, Mordred's mouth quirked up. The Father-King's partner... that's the 'Mother-Queen'. I'm not wrong.

Mordred... you're such a 'genius'.

Hearing this, Kenji's smile vanished. This "beloved son" Mordred... is a bit rebellious. Looks like 'he' wants to experience 'Fatherly Love (as heavy as a mountain)'.

"I'll leave 'him' to you all. Don't hold back. Let 'Mo-san' feel the love... of all three 'Fathers'," Kenji said, stepping back and giving them the "stage."

"Say no more. We'll handle this... 'beautifully'."

POW!

Saber Alter went up and kicked Mordred straight to the ground, then started "stomping."

The Lion King joined in. Artoria hesitated for a second... then joined in too. Otherwise, it would look like she wasn't part of the group.

"POW! POW! POW!..."

Mordred: Three on one! You have no honor! Awoooo!!!
