Reborn in Type-Moon, My Sister is Aoko Aozaki

Chapter 158 022: Ultimate

"Give up. It's impossible for me to reveal any information."

Inside the wooden cabin specially cleared out for detention, Lancelot, his entire body bound by ropes and his power restrained by a special formula, spoke with a resolute expression. And around him, Rin Aosaki, Bedivere, Da Vinci, Arash, and Cursed Arm surrounded him, clearly eliminating the last possibility of the Knight of the Lake's escape.

"...Indeed. If it were you, after making up your mind, you indeed wouldn't change it easily. But Lancelot, do you truly feel that such a king is still a king?" Bedivere stared into Lancelot's eyes as if to see through his inner thoughts, asking seriously, which made Lancelot subconsciously turn his head away, his brow furrowed.

At the same time, Rin Aosaki also stepped forward and said seriously, "Lancelot, although you are not quite the same as the 'Lancelot' I know, I have also learned some things from Miss Serenity. She said that when you were pursuing her, you clearly had the opportunity to capture others first to threaten her or directly eliminate the others, but you did not do so. Can you tell me your reason?"

"...That was only because it was unnecessary. After all, as long as the most important target is captured, it is enough. I was just completing my mission." Lancelot pursed his lips, as if remembering something, his eyes flickering slightly.

Sensing that his attitude was vaguely beginning to waver, Rin Aosaki and Bedivere "exchanged a look," and both of them frowned in unison. Because although the Knight of the Lake's determination had loosened, if this continued, they wouldn't be able to interrogate anything out of him anytime soon.

Just as Cursed Arm was considering whether to use some more forceful means to compel Lancelot to reveal information about the Holy City, Manaka suddenly pushed the door open and walked into the wooden cabin, followed by Mash, whose expression was somewhat forced for some reason.

"Rei, you want him to reveal information about the Holy City, right?"

"That is indeed the case. But..." Rin Aosaki subconsciously nodded, but before he could finish, Manaka said with a smile, "In that case, leave it to me. I happen to know some small magic in this area. I believe he will tell us himself later."

Rin Aosaki blinked, a little surprised that the girl had come all this way for this. He didn't doubt her words, because in terms of magical knowledge, her scope was clearly much broader than his, as he had mainly specialized in alchemy.

"It's possible. But if that kind of magic fails, there shouldn't be any backlash, right, sister..."

"Rest assured, I have never failed in magic, and that is not a formula with side effects. But I will accept your concern, sister... Also, when I am casting the formula later, I need a slightly quieter environment, so please go out for a while."

As if the youth's concern had reduced some of the gloom in her heart, Manaka smiled gently, signaling him not to worry. And the others around had no objection to this method. After all, continuing to interrogate would just be a waste of time. It was better to let the girl try first.

Watching Rin Aosaki's retreating back, after the door of the wooden cabin was closed again, Manaka slowly withdrew her gaze and muttered to herself in a low voice, "If it weren't for you, that child might have been taking a bath with me right now..."

But Lancelot before her seemed to be disdainful of her actions, which were like chanting some spell, and chuckled lightly. "I advise you not to waste your energy, girl. Although I cannot move freely now, my will will absolutely not yield. No matter what magic you use, it will be useless."

"Is that so? Then, wait until you have seen the thing you 'fear most' in your heart before you say such words." The blonde girl turned her face expressionlessly, looked down at the knight sitting on the ground, and instantly deployed several formulas in her hand, causing the knight's gaze to gradually become dazed.

At the same time, outside the wooden cabin, after leaving the detention room, Rin Aosaki and the others did not go far, but waited nearby.

But Bedivere seemed to be concerned about something. After looking back at the wooden cabin, he walked to Rin Aosaki's side and asked in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Lord An, please forgive my rudeness. But is that Miss Sajyou really your sister?"

"To be precise, she is my foster sister, because I was adopted. Why do you suddenly ask this, Bedivere?" The youth asked, not quite understanding. And the young knight just gave a dry laugh and shook his head.

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually, please don't mind..."

But, foster sister? From the look in that girl's eyes just now, it didn't look like she was looking at a foster brother at all... Speaking of which, Lord An is also the foster brother of the "King" from another world. Could it be that that "King" also...

Quickly stopping this somewhat rude thought in his heart, Bedivere felt that if he continued to think like this, the image of someone in his heart might show signs of collapse. However, perhaps it was because the overly relaxed atmosphere of the banquet tonight had infected him, that he rarely had such overly gossipy associations.

Just as Bedivere was silently repenting in his heart, a miserable cry suddenly came from the wooden cabin not far away.

"Wait, Tristan! Although we are friends, I don't have that kind of hobby!

"Stop it, Gawain! What are you trying to do, get your hands off me, don't come any closer!

"Agravain, you bastard! What, you're going to record all of this and then show it to Galahad? Bastard! How could you do that? You can't do that!"

...

Miserable words filled with various painful emotions came from the wooden cabin, making the few people outside all stunned for a moment, and they couldn't help but look at each other. After a few minutes, when the words slowly turned into cries for help, the door of the wooden cabin slowly opened.

And as soon as everyone entered, they saw Lancelot, who had just had a resolute expression, now as if he were suffering a huge insult and torture, his face pale, his body trembling, his expression dazed, immersed in some kind of illusion.

"Sister, this is..." Rin Aosaki didn't know what kind of magic could turn a person with a firm mind like Lancelot into this state.

But Manaka beside him just shook her head and said with confusion, "I just used a little fear-based illusion magic. As for what he actually saw, I don't know either."

This statement was no disguise; it was indeed just what she had done. Although she did want to teach this guy who had interrupted her "good thing" a lesson, she didn't expect his reaction to be so intense. But looking at it this way, in terms of interrogation, the effect was undoubtedly quite good.

And as the girl's words fell, Manaka lightly snapped her fingers. The next moment, the illusion magic cast on Lancelot gradually dissipated, and the Knight of the Lake slowly regained consciousness, but he was still muttering, "How could you do this? You can't do this..."

After about a few dozen seconds, Lancelot's consciousness completely returned to reality, and he understood that everything he had just seen was an illusion. But even so, it still left him drenched in a cold sweat, a sense of palpitation lingering on his face.

"Alright, I think this knight will cooperate now."

Looking at the smiling blonde girl, Lancelot understood that if he refused to cooperate, the terrifying illusion might come again. He couldn't help but swallow, his whole body stiffened.
