I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The scabbard was originally in the hands of Emiya Kiritsugu, and he used it to summon Saber to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Later, in order to protect Irisviel, he was buried in Irisviel's body as a concept costume, and returned to Saber for a time during the war. After Saber left, he buried Kiritsugu's body in order to heal Kiritsugu who was corroded by black mud.

When Kiritsugu and Maiya left Fuyuki and went to the war-torn Middle East, Kiritsugu took her out again and quietly placed it on his daughter. That is the greatest hope for a safe life for my daughter, the strictest protection in the world, and something that only strong and sincere ideals can retain.

Ten years ago, it resonated strongly because of Emiya Kiritsugu's lofty but foolish ideal of "becoming a partner of justice."

Now, she awakens again because of Illya's innocent call. It is this connection that makes Saber appear again and come to this home.

Of course, in addition to the connection between the scabbard and Saber, there is another condition - the technique Kiritsugu carved ten years ago. At that time, Irisviel, who was the Little Holy Grail, had absorbed the souls of two Servants, and her body functions were severely weakened. She could only lie down and rest in a special spell. This special spell was exactly the summons that most Masters would depict. Array - Summoning is just a common name among Masters. The function of the spell is not only summoning, but also stabilizing the spiritual base, accelerating the recovery of the servant's magic power, etc. It can also play a role in the small Holy Grail that contains the soul of the servant. Stabilizing effect.

From the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War until Orange made a new body, Irisviel mostly stayed in this spell to preserve her soul. After acquiring a new body, Kiritsugu did not eliminate the technique, and due to the rare use of the old warehouse, it was preserved intact. Until today, it was awakened by Illya's magic and desire, opening up the connection between the real world and fantasy. .

The girl standing in the summoning circle pressed her abdomen with her hands. There was a glow that was very suitable for Saber. It was the ultimate ideal of a king and the treasure with the same name as the legendary fairy land "Avalon"!

After ten years of silence, this treasure finally appeared in the world again, in front of Saber.

"Go, Illya!" The knight girl said to her new master, her jewel-like eyes filled with nostalgia and expectation.

"Yeah." Illya nodded vigorously, "That monster..."

"It's okay, I'm here - we're here!"

When the two walked out of the warehouse, the courtyard outside had changed its appearance.

The steely giant is still alive and continues to stir up storms one after another with his powerful power.

However, this time, the storm failed to destroy everything as unbridled as before. It was firmly imprisoned in the center of the courtyard, in a very small area - a steel cage composed of black rafter piles rising from the ground. .

For a terrifying giant who can tear down walls at will and block bullets with his body, a mere iron pillar is nothing. It can be easily destroyed by an axe, a sword or a tyrannical body.

However, there was not just one row of iron pillars blocking him, but ten or twenty rows. It would take some time for even a giant with unparalleled strength to destroy these iron pillars. When he finally cleared the obstacles blocking his way, a woman wearing a tight leather jacket stood in front of her again.

Compared with the giant, the purple woman is only of a normal human body shape. She may be considered tall among women, but she is still nothing compared to the giant. She is so short and fragile that it seems that she can be crushed with just one strike of an ax or sword.

But when the giant actually swung his ax and sword, the result was exactly the opposite.

The "short and fragile" purple woman actually successfully blocked the giant's ax and sword. She didn't dodge or use any skills. She just blocked the giant with strength alone.

"■■■■■■■■■■■────!"

The giant whose attack was blocked roared wildly. This was the first time his attack was blocked. Even if he was repelled by Saber just now, it was because Saber had the advantage of surprise.

The hand holding the ax sword changed from one hand to two hands, and the already obvious muscles became more bulging, so obvious that the blood vessels under the skin could be seen.

However, even this could not make the "little" woman take a step back.

No, not only failed to retreat, but -

"I won't let you pass, Berserker! Come back here!"

In the cold whisper, the woman's waist-length purple hair was raised back, and the woman's arms and knees, which had been bent due to the pressure of the ax and sword, straightened instantly. This instantaneous burst of power bounced off the ax sword that was chopped off at the head, and caused the giant's huge body to involuntarily move back - back to its original position.

At the same time that he was retreating, the iron fence that he had destroyed with violence was also being quickly repaired. When the giant stood firm, the iron pillars had returned to their original shape, and the steel cage was complete again.

Behind the purple-haired woman, a man with a slightly lighter color came out, pointing one hand in the direction of Berserker and making a fist in the air.

"Kazikli Bey (King of Execution)!"

What happened next seemed to be a repeat of what happened just now.

The giant used brute force to destroy the cage. After opening a gap, the purple-haired woman quickly blocked it and blocked him back with even greater strength. Then, the cage was repaired and Berserker was tied up again.

This scene has been repeated several times. Because of this, Saber had time to talk to Illya so much and instruct the latter to take out the scabbard.

"The big liar, it's you!!!" Illya exclaimed after seeing clearly the appearance of the person who controlled the steel cage.

"I told you, don't call me——"

There is only one man who would be called such by Illya, Matou Shinji. He habitually turned his head to complain, but before he could finish complaining, he was stunned because of the familiar girl knight beside Illya.

"——Holy shit, Arturia!"

"Long time no see." The girl knight, Saber, Arturia smiled innocently.

"Ah, long time no see, but how could you—wait, how come you have this thing in your hands?"

The first half of the sentence was addressed to Arturia. He never thought that Arturia would appear at this time, since Kiritsugu had not returned yet.

The second half of the sentence was because he saw the scabbard in Illya's hand. That is a holy relic belonging to Artoria. With this, it can explain why Artoria appears. But a new problem came again. In Shinji's understanding, the scabbard should be on Kiritsugu's body, but he didn't expect that he had already given it to his daughter.

It was probably to protect his daughter - based on Shinji's understanding of Kiritsugu, he quickly came up with the answer, and Shinji's expression returned to normal.

Just then, he heard Medusa's anxious voice.

"Shenji, be careful, get out of the way!"

PS: The magic circle does have other functions. Before the decisive battle between Emperor and Sparkling, Weber put him into the magic circle to speed up the recovery of magic power.
