"Th-This... May I ask how you know my name? Do we... know each other?"
Snapping out of his shock, Bedivere blinked in confusion.
He had been using the pseudonym "Lucius" all this time to conceal his true identity, claiming to be just a wanderer to the outside world.
But why was his identity now seen through by this strange young man?
And from the way he had spoken, it seemed they were well-acquainted.
But, how is that possible?
After all, all the people I knew have already...
The young knight's confusion reached the boy's ears. Aozaki Rin then realized that while the person before him was Bedivere, he was not the "Bedivere" he knew from another dream.
After all, he had previously met a male King Arthur. This man must have been that King Arthur's former knight.
Speaking of which, this shouldn't be Fuyuki City anymore. Where is this place?
Remembering that Bedivere had mentioned a desert, Rin had no idea where he had ended up.
He also felt that this dream of his was a bit strange, to have met a Bedivere who was not "Bedivere."
But since it was a dream, anything strange was possible.
Even if the adoptive sister "Artoria" from his past dreams were to jump out and stand before him now, Rin probably wouldn't find it strange, at most just a little surprised.
However, even in this lucid-dream-like state, the young man still hoped his dream would have a happy ending.
Gathering his scattered thoughts, Rin retracted the Spear of Longinus into his body. After thinking about how to answer the other's question, he slowly spoke.
"We probably don't know each other. Actually, I once had a rather special dream, a dream about King Arthur. That's why I subconsciously recognized your identity, Bedivere... no, Sir Bedivere."
"By the way, I met that King of Knights in another place before, but I came here due to some accident. May I ask, where is this place?"
"You met the King?" Not quite understanding the young man's explanation, Bedivere's mood became slightly urgent after hearing a certain term. He said anxiously.
"May I ask where you met him? I apologize, my tone may be a bit impulsive, but meeting the King again is very important to me. Could you please tell me?"
Not understanding why the other man was gripping his shoulders so excitedly, Rin was stunned for a moment before subconsciously replying.
"...In Fuyuki City."
"Fuyuki City? What is that place?"
Bedivere was baffled by the unfamiliar term. He seemed to be trying hard to recall any information about it, but he could come to no conclusion, his handsome face filled with sorrow.
Sensing the other's mood, Rin briefly summarized his experiences before arriving here.
Although the Bedivere before him was not the one he knew, his character and attitude towards things were almost identical to the "Bedivere" he knew, which made Rin trust him.
But after he finished his explanation, Bedivere's expression became somewhat complicated. He gave a wry smile, sat back down opposite the young man, and lowered his head.
"Although I don't know why it's like this, but... the King of Knights you speak of should be the 'King Arthur' from another world, not the one I know."
"And, you probably also came to another world due to some accident. After all, it is now around the year 1273, and the only city around here seems to be Jerusalem, not the Fuyuki City you speak of."
King Arthur from another world? What does that mean? And crossing over to another world...
Rin blinked in confusion. But before he could think further, Bedivere hesitated for a moment and then continued to ask.
"If it's possible, could you tell me a little about the dream you mentioned earlier?"
Without much consideration, Rin gave a general account of what he had experienced in the other dream. After all, he was also a bit confused about the situation and didn't quite understand the "setting" of this dream.
After his account, Bedivere finally sorted out the situation, but the expression on his face became even more complex.
"I roughly understand the situation. But I would first like to state that your so-called other dream was likely not just a dream, but some kind of tangible experience."
Because a mere dream couldn't possibly describe the personality and conduct of every Knight of the Round Table in such detail. Bedivere could only think of "parallel worlds," or the esoteric idea that some special people could experience another life through their dreams.
Of course, he didn't know the specifics and couldn't explain the reason, as these were things he had only occasionally heard from a certain court magus in the past. He himself was not skilled in such matters.
But seeing the young man's confused look, he continued to explain.
"To put it simply, you can understand it as there being a total of three worlds. The first world is the one where you met that King Arthur in Fuyuki City, which is your original world. The second world is the world of Britain that existed in your so-called other dream. As for the third world, it is this world right now."
"Although I don't know the details, or the specific thoughts of the king from the other world, I would still like to say, thank you for always supporting that King Arthur, Sir En. Also, since we are friends in another world, please just call me Bedivere here as well."
The young knight smiled. Although the "dream of King Arthur" he learned about from the boy was just another possibility for him, in that possibility, at least that King had found some salvation, and may have even obtained a little happiness of her own.
Even so, it was worth expressing his gratitude to the young man before him.
And after hearing the explanation, only one thought remained in Rin's mind.
Has the "setting" of dreams become this complicated now? Speaking of which, why am I having such a strange dream...
He couldn't find a reason even after thinking about it. Rin could only temporarily put this question aside and continue with this bizarre dream according to the current "setting."
However, he suddenly remembered a contradiction in the young knight's words.
"Wait a minute. Since you said it's around 1273 now, then why are you, Bedivere..."
King Arthur's era was around the 5th century. If Bedivere's perception was not mistaken, it seemed impossible for him to appear eight hundred years later.
"This matter is a bit complicated to explain, but in the end, it is all my fault..."
A look of self-reproach and pain on his face, the young knight began to recount the mistake he had made.
