Lost Narrative Poetry

"Um?"

Raising his eyebrows, Xia Ran ignored such an inexplicable phone call and didn't take it to heart. People often made wrong calls anyway, so there was no shortage of people like this.

Especially at such an early hour in the morning, people are often not very clear-headed, and it is normal to press the wrong number. If the other party had been more conscious and realized the wrong call as soon as they heard his voice...

——Then hang up immediately.

This is not impossible, but it just seems a bit rude, but as a polite and polite person, of course he will not care about such things.

"I don't know whose call it is, but there's no problem. Let's follow the previous plan now... Oh, by the way, you don't know Saber, right? This is a mobile phone, a portable communication tool."

Putting the phone into his pocket, Xia Ran looked at the knight girl in front of him again, and then prepared to continue the previous topic.

But after seeing the slightly confused expression on Artoria's face, he understood after a moment's thought, and opened his mouth to explain.

"It's the same as the phone you know, but it's more convenient, can be carried around, the functions are more diverse and powerful, and basically has everything. It's hard to explain to you at the moment, but I can buy one for you later. , it will be a lot more convenient..."

"oh."

Arturia nodded with some vague understanding. She was indeed not very clear about these matters, so naturally she could only let the Master make arrangements in these aspects.

--cell phone?

——Portable communication tool?

These terms were indeed difficult for her to understand to a certain extent, which made her somewhat troubled.

Because when she appeared in the previous world, she was given the basic common sense of modern times by the Great Holy Grail, but that was only in 1994. However, modern technology is developing at a rapid pace, and more than 20 years have passed since Xia Ran's world in 1994.

Therefore, this world feels very strange to Saber. Although she can still understand many things, there are many things that she does not understand.

I understand many things because basic facilities such as cars, planes, lights and telephones have not been eliminated, and the main way of life has not changed. After all, it has only been twenty years, and it is impossible for human beings to say that they have developed by leaps and bounds into the interstellar age. .

The lack of understanding is due to the changes in many details. The rapid changes in technology have made electronic products smaller, such as the popularization of wired phones to portable communication tools. These are naturally the information that she cannot grasp——

You must know that during the Fourth War, even a professional magician like Tokiomi Tohsaka used a communicator made by gem magic to solve the communication problem. It was already a specialized magic ritual.

If you want to popularize that kind of gemstone device among ordinary people, the cost will be very high, or it may be impossible to do at all.

But who could have imagined that in just ten or twenty years, the advancement of science and technology would usher in the era of the global village? Naturally, Saber would not have thought that in this era, magical communication methods similar to magic devices have become completely popular.

——That's about it.

In addition, space does not provide convenient services in this regard. For example, Saber is like a servant summoned by the Great Holy Grail, and is directly given a piece of basic common sense about the current world and era of the Master...

So there are many things that she still needs to learn and understand by herself, and master and use them by herself.

Of course, since there is always a certain foundation, it cannot be said that it really looks like ancient people returning to modern times. As long as you are careful, there should be no jokes... Well, probably not of.

But when it comes to mobile phones, Xia Ran feels that maybe the problem Artoria needs to solve is actually more complicated. If we really think about it from a long-term perspective, it would be better to directly assign a real identity to her. .

Because without an identity in modern society, it is simply difficult to move forward. When handling real-name business, using long-distance transportation, etc., you often need to provide proof of identity. He didn't want to use special means to help Saber hide the past every time he encountered such a problem. That would be too troublesome.

Xia Ran thought about it carefully, then shook her head——

"Forget it, there's really nothing to say now. As for other things, we'll talk about them later. Anyway, we'll do whatever we need to do when the time comes."

Regarding the matter of assigning an identity to Saber and solving the black account problem, it is actually not that troublesome. As long as he is willing, he can always solve it relatively easily...

But the problem is that he is a lazy person. He only has a ten-day rest period after each mission. During this period, he is like a salty fish. He just wants to relax and not do anything that takes a lot of effort.

Saber still nodded with a vague understanding. She still didn't know what Xia Ran was talking about, but she just followed the Romans. She didn't know much about this world and this era, so it was the best choice to follow the Master's arrangements.

"Let's go, let's not waste time..." Xia Ran waved to the knight girl and took the lead.

"Master, are we...shall we go like this?"

Saber glanced at the silver armor on her body. This was her usual outfit. The armor was woven through "magic release" and looked very metallic and lustrous, giving the impression of being heavy and having amazing defensive capabilities.

Of course, it is certain that the defense power is amazing. Whether it is physical defense or magic defense, this silver armor has a value close to that of a Noble Phantasm. Although in a battle between servants, it can only be said to be better than nothing.

But if you don't look at those inhuman standard attack and defense values, this level of defense is already stronger than any armor, even if it is worn by ordinary people, and then someone carries a rocket launcher and tests it. , and it won't cause any obvious harm.

However, because the armor is completely made of magic power, although it has a metallic texture on the surface and gives people a heavy and solid feeling, it itself has no weight and is very light.

However, in the current situation, whether it is defense or light weight, they obviously do not meet the requirements. Although Artoria is unsure about many things, she also knows that Xia Ran just planned to take her to buy clothes or something. Obviously she feels that her outfit is not suitable for daily use.

As a result, she didn't think it was suitable just now, and now she has to take her out on the streets in a big way, not even planning to use illusions - it was precisely because she didn't notice the fluctuation of magic power that she raised questions.

"No problem. If you keep like this all the time, there will definitely be a lot of inconvenience, but if you only do it once or twice, there won't be any problems..." Xia Ran was very disapproving of her question, "I don't understand. People who don’t know much about it will probably think you’re wearing fancy clothes, and people who think they know a lot about you will probably think you’re cosplaying…”

"Cosplay?"

"Well, it's hard to explain this to you. Anyway, you just need to know that there won't be any problems..."

Xia Ran had a headache, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no information about FATE's works in the main world anyway, and his impressions of the plot also came from the world he had experienced before, so he acted nonchalantly.

"If you are really worried, you can also remove the magic armor. It's not like you are wearing nothing underneath the armor..." He gave another suggestion.

Saber was silent for a moment, and the magic armor on her body suddenly dispersed and turned into mist and disappeared, revealing the light casual clothes she was wearing, which was a navy blue skirt shirt and tie, plus French European style Black jacket…

Although they match perfectly together, and although the style is a bit outdated, they don't feel old-fashioned at this moment, but full of flavor. It can be seen that the person who originally picked them has quite good taste.

But even so, it doesn't change the fact that this entire set of clothes is men's clothing.

If it were a petite girl who was only about 1.5 meters tall, wearing such clothes, maybe everyone would feel awkward. But this did not happen to Saber. Even when she was wearing men's clothing, she was still admirable.

Because her beauty is not the kind of gender-inverted beauty, but her awe-inspiring temperament makes her beauty different from that of ordinary girls. She is also very handsome when wearing men's clothing, with a heroic appearance and a heroic spirit.

"Irisviel chose this for me. I didn't object because I think such clothes are very convenient for movement, and I have always worn men's clothes before."

Arturia explained in a low voice.

"Very good, but you should change back to girl's clothes later. You also said that you are no longer a king, so don't dwell on the past. I think it's better for girls to look like girls..."

Xia Ran didn't say anything more about this, but made the decision without any doubt to keep the memory of Irisviel as a symbol of friendship. This statement sounds good, but it is only a good thing to say. Saber will eventually It’s time to come out.

"A girl...?"

Saber opened her mouth to say something, but it turned into a sigh and she murmured uneasily.

…

…

"how do you feel?"

After leaving the train and walking out of the station, the two of them naturally saw a commercial area with a huge flow of people and busy traffic.

"It's very prosperous, something I would never have seen before."

Saber truthfully stated her thoughts, and then looked around depressedly, "But it seems that many people are looking at me. Sure enough, there is something wrong with my clothes, right?"

From the time she was on the train to now, everyone around her was looking at her, which made her feel uneasy.

"How could it be? Don't think too much, there's nothing wrong with the clothes, they're great!" Xia Ran gave a thumbs up and said decisively, wanting to give Saber some confidence.

"Then why don't they look at you?" The knight girl was a little helpless. This is obviously a problem with her clothes. If there is no problem, why are everyone only looking at her in men's clothes?

"Of course it's because I used illusion and they couldn't see me..." Xia Ran replied matter-of-factly.

"..."

"..."

Arturia suddenly didn't want to talk to him.
