The Endless Shuttle

"Moreover, the concealment of this attack is quite good..."

Think about it, as long as I put my hands in my pockets, who would have thought that an extremely sharp 'sword' would suddenly appear and split him in two?

"My lord, I feel the fluctuation of magic power, are you okay?"

There was a twist in the air, and Diarmuid's worried face appeared.

"It's okay, I'm just trying a new magic trick."

Luo Pei shook his hand, indicating that he was fine. "I've been patrolling outside these days. Has there been any special situation?"

"Yes, although it is very weak, but according to my perception, there are already four heroic spirits with a very large sense of existence. I am afraid that they are the Rider, Caster, Berserker and Archer that the Lord said."

Breath perception, this can be regarded as the benefit of sufficient magic power.

"Assassin has the ability of 'breath blocking', it's not surprising that you can't perceive it."

Rope stood up and picked up his notebook from the table.

"Today is October 3rd... Does that mean Saber will arrive in Fuyuki City tomorrow..." Putting down the notebook, Luo Pei leaned back on the sofa.

"The actors of the Holy Grail War have finally arrived."

"So, my lord, what should we do next?" Diarmuid asked.

"According to plan."

Luo Pei pointed to a pier on the map and said. "Tomorrow night, you take the initiative to attack, release your aura in this place, and then attract the enemy to fight. If nothing else happens, the opponent should be Saber King Arthur. It will be up to you, Lancer."

"yes!"

Diarmuid knelt down on one knee with his right hand in front of his chest.

"This battle will definitely bring victory to the Lord!"

Chapter 18 Do it all over again, the cycle of tragedy

In the afternoon of the next day, at F Airport, the nearest airport to Fuyuki City, a charter plane of Italian Vorale Airlines originating from Germany was slowly landing on the runway.

Although it is also tested by the cold winter, the winter in Japan is not the same as the harsh winter in Einzbern. Irisviel looked up at the soft afternoon sun, feeling a burst of relief in her heart.

"This is where Kiritsugu was born..."

What a place. Although I had a certain understanding through photos and so on before, but after experiencing it personally, Irisviel couldn't help admiring again.

It's not just the mood that feels light. This time she posed as a tourist. So what is prepared is not the usual western clothes, but ordinary clothes that are as close to ordinary people as possible. Even though it was just flat boots and a knee-length skirt, she felt like a newborn, moving freely and effortlessly.

However, for the Einzbern people who are relatively isolated from the world, their so-called common people's clothing is far from the scope of "common people". Silk shawls, knee-high boots, and silver fox fur coats, no matter how you look at them, they are the kind of clothing that can only be seen in the window of high-end shopping malls, and they are definitely expensive. But for Irisviel, who was cared for as a treasure since she was a child, this luxurious and expensive attire seemed so suitable. It can even be said that only such an attire is worthy of her flowing silver hair and beautiful appearance.

Although she prepared such "common people's clothing" in order to pretend to be an ordinary person, it is a pity that this is only a commoner in the eyes of the people of Einzbern. Moreover, a beauty like her would not look like an ordinary person no matter how she wore it.

"Saber, how does air travel feel?"

Irisviel got off the plane first, and asked the following Servant who was about to set foot on the ground.

"It's the second time..." Saber whispered with a gloomy expression.

"What?"

"...It's nothing, it's more boring than expected."

After hesitating for a while, Saber still refrained from telling Alice Vier the truth, learning her previous answers to deal with it.

This time, those tragedies must not be allowed to happen...

And Emiya Kiritsugu...

I must kill you with my own hands! An astonishing murderous look flashed in Saber's glazed pupils, and then it was well hidden.

"It's a pity, I thought you would appreciate me with a pleasant surprise."

"...Irisviel, you don't think I'm a primitive person." Saber showed a sincere smile.

She would not add to the poor lady those old hatreds.

——Although she was acting according to Emiya Kiritsugu's will.

"Flying is probably not surprising to Heroic Spirits." Irisviel laughed innocently.

"This...isn't the case."

Saber didn't go to answer Irisviel's words, but just said something perfunctory, looking at the street outside the airport in the distance.

"Irisviel, please be cautious in the future. In this war, there are heroes from all ages and magicians who will do anything for their own ends. Please don't leave my side."

"Uh-huh!"

Irisviel nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said happily.

"It feels like a knight and a princess!"

Words of nostalgia... Saber quietly lowered her gaze and nodded. Then she bent her thin elbow and pointed at Irisviel.

"It just so happens, Irisviel, it's rare to come out once. Do you want to go around this country? Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises."

"well!?"

Irisviel stared wide-eyed, looking at Saber in disbelief.

"Saber, how do you know what I'm thinking?"

"...Any guess." Saber turned her head away. "After all, Irisviel has lived in that castle since she was a child, so it's only natural that she wants to see the outside world?"

"Oh? Did I tell you about me?"

Irisviel nodded her lips in doubt, but then she showed a sweet smile, and put her little white hand in Saber's.

"Well, since it's an invitation from the King of Knights, then I'll be respectful and not obedient?"

Just like that, while chatting, the two walked out of the airport and headed straight for the commercial street in Fuyuki City.

... Irisviel, only now, you don't have to think about anything, just enjoy yourself.

Sitting on the back seat of the car, Saber closed her eyes in pain.

——

"...Saber, let's go to the sea next."
