>>5922227"Peace, I am but a poor girl inferior to your obvious feline superiority. I surrender." It is a good thing you're very good at talking. But most importantly, it's hard to feel angry at your pet forcing you to praise and flatter her. It's probably because she's so damn cute and you always heap praise upon her for the most normal things.
"Hmph, better. But what would be best stranger, is if you leave!" Kizaemon hisses and takes a step closer. As if on cue, the army of cats behind her also takes a step forward. You take a step backward as a result and discover there's no floor to receive your retreating feet. You start falling backwards into a darkness while above the shining living room of your home gets smaller and smaller.
Your eyes open. The sun has barely peeked over the horizon to reveal it is morning. The guide is using flint and steel to start another fire.
"Good mornin' Your Majesty!" The guide sounds very cheerful and serves up some bread and cheese for breakfast.
What a weird dream.
"Ah, guide, I've got more questions." You take a great big bite out of the bread and chew slowly.
The Lady of the Lake is your first one. The guide can only give the vaguest descriptions of what exactly she is and has no idea where she might be. The guide speculates that she is a servant of Avalon. Though the religious nutters of the Rightful King Society believe that she is Avalon and Avalon is her. So some sort of avatar enacting the will of this world?
"I only know she exists and can speak of various secrets of this world. Talking to her will reveal your Geas. Meep. Hm, how do I describe a Geas? A fate? A vow? A prohibition? A restriction? A destiny? No, no, that doesn't quite work. But be careful, Your Majesty; breaching your Geas even in ignorance has terrible consequences." The guide has packed everything up and is ready to go. He sits on a log and kicks his goaty hoofs.
"Wait, I have some sort of weird thing I have to not violate or fulfill, but I have no idea what it is? That's ridiculous!"
Ridiculous or not, the guide firmly declares this is the way of Avalon. As for Gawain and the other members of the "Knights of the Round Table" such as Merlin and Arthur...
"What do you mean, you don't know if they're who they claim they are?" You were surprised by the guide's claim after recalling that he was lucky to survive the battles between the group against Rodomonte and Mordred. The magical girls are monstrously powerful combat nuts, and there are five of them to contend with.
