Sixth Casino "Showdown, Aloha Three Knights (Part 2)"

Mmm...! The scent of married women filling the air... It's everything I ever dreamed it would be!

I swear, you would be so much prettier if you would never open your mouth!

N-now I see. Your plan was to distract me with married women while the wicked swan moved in for the kill.

Ahh, how this shames me. How could I not have seen that you were my true love all along?

Hmph. Don't be ridiculous. As if I would ever be your true love.

Now hurry up and go down before I run you through for real. Go on.

Ah.

...I'm impressed. I never expected you to defeat Sir Tristan.

But what are you going to do now that you've exhausted your supply of beautiful young female fighters?

I will admit, there is great power to be found in women with an air of grief and sorrow about them.

But I've already seen the ones you have to offer. The same madam won't work twice.

You do know that...don't you?

The same madam won't work twice...

... ...Is there something deep about that?

？！

F-forgive me, Master. I nearly fell for the enemy's trap myself.

Heh heh heh.

In many ways, Sir Lancelot and Sir Tristan are both Aloha Knights who are equally vulnerable to beautiful women.

U-um, that's just 'cause they're Aloha Knights, right? It's not like they're always weak to them, right?

However, it is also true that the same madam won't work twice. Indeed, I am eminently aware of that...

...and naturally, I have prepared accordingly! All right, come on out!

Hell yeah!

I'm here!

I'm here too, I guess.

...I see. So you dragged Gareth into this.

I did indeed.

So you're an Aloha Knight of Casino Camelot now? A Swimsuit Swordmaster variant with a Spirit Origin just for summer?

Right now, none of that matters. Whatever else you may be, you are still Sir Lancelot, Knight of the Round Table.

Furthermore, you are currently materialized as a Saber capable of rationality, as opposed to your Berserker form.

As such, I expect you may have some...feelings upon seeing Lady Gareth alive and well.

Of course, the one you see here is but a shadow of the real Lady Gareth, who has long since passed away...

...but she is still the spitting image of her living self.

She may not technically be the same person anymore, but she still retains her thoughts, memories, and personality.

... ...

Sir Lancelot...

So, what will you do?

Are you going to turn your sword on her again, good knight?

Remind me, how did you kill her last time? Did you cut her down where she stood, or did you beat her to death instead?

So much for your vaunted chivalry!

Indeed, there was a time when the ostensibly great and noble Sir Lancelot of the Round Table committed adultery!

When Sir Agravain caught you red-handed, he and the other Knights of the Round Table sought to bring you to justice...but you were a force to be reckoned with, thanks to your Eternal Arms Mastery!

With naught but your fists alone, you slew fully armed knights one after another!

Among them were Sir Agravain, the one most bent on capturing you...and Lady Gareth, the one who held you in the highest regard...

...

...Such a terrible, senseless tragedy.

What really happened, Sir Lancelot? Did you beat Lady Gareth to death unwittingly, failing to realize who she was?

...

Or, were you fully aware she was the same Lady Gareth who admired you as a puppy admires its master...

...even as you sullied those fair hands of yours with her bloo

？！

...Hmm.

You think so? And here I thought I was being rather gentle, just as if I were speaking to a child.

...This is hardly the kind of lighthearted topic I expected to talk about when I put on this aloha shirt.

Yes, you're right. My sins could fill a vast, deep ocean. Even my Hawaiian shirt will not allow me to escape them.

...Gareth, I...

Sir Lancelot

Here, I'll put you outta your misery!

You're wide open, Lancelot! I don't even need my demonic sword to kill you like this!

Haha, this is great! Havin' Gareth on my side really makes you clam up, doesn't it!?

Don't move a damn centimeter, Gareth! I'm countin' on you to be my shield!

Don't be ridiculous! I came here to fight just as much as you did!

...

O-oh, but, I'm not here to kill anyone! I just want to release everyone from the curse of aloha!

？！

Oh, it's just a pet theory of mine!

The Knights of the Round Table always look good no matter what they wear, but I still prefer them in shining armor!

Hey Master, I'm sure you already know this, but don't bother listenin' to a word outta her mouth. She's a dumbass.

Mordred! How dare you speak about your older sister like that!?

Stop that, both of you! We're up against Sir Lancelot, remember? This isn't the time to argue!

Oh yeah, guess you're right.

He might be a scumbag, but he's still Lancelot. Plan or not, we've still gotta take him seriously.

So come on, Gareth! Let's get him already!

I'll be the one to lead here, thank you very much! Come on, Mordred!

...Sir Lancelot, I'm going to come at you with everything I've got! Please make sure you do the same!

...Very well then! Have at you!
