The Endless Shuttle

After an afternoon of 'dates', Irisviel proposed to Saber with an expression of excitement that couldn't be concealed.

"Hai..."

Saber whispered. "The first battle is coming soon..."

"?"

"It's nothing Aliceviel, since you want to see the sea, then let's go." Putting on a perfect smile again, Saber agreed to Aliceviel's proposal.

As long as you walk across the Fuyuki Bridge across the Mion River, you can see a large seaside park there.

It was late at night, and only the two of them walked slowly on the quiet path. The north wind on the sea blew directly without any obstruction, blowing Irisviel's long silver hair, dancing like the tail of a meteor. Because of the sea breeze in winter, even dating couples are reluctant to get close.

As for Irisviel, who saw the sea for the first time, she didn't care because she was already used to the cold.

"Here, we should come here at dawn."

There is only cold darkness in the sea. Saber looked at such a sea, although it was not the first time, she still said regretfully.

"No, the sea at night is also beautiful. It's like a mirror of the night sky." Irisviel, who was staring at the horizon, replied immediately.

Listening to the sound of the heavy waves, Irisviel gradually showed a smile all over her face.

Perhaps it was because she had a lot of fun that day, a faint blush appeared on her snow-white cheeks. Looking at her like this, no one would have thought that she was married and had a child. Her smile is so pure and innocent, as if she is still a teenage girl.

"It turns out that it is such a joy to walk in a strange city with you, the knight."

"I wonder if my performance as a fake knight is qualified?"

With a forced smile, Saber said what she had said, with an uncontrollable pain in her heart.

"Qualified and impeccable. Saber, today you are the most perfect knight in the world."

Perfect... even if you don't protect your incompetent knight at the end, can you call it perfect?

"It is my honor. Her Royal Highness."

Facing the sincerely spoken girl in black, Irisviel seemed to turn her face towards the sea with some shyness, but being very sensitive to emotions, she caught the sadness in the corner of Saber's eyes in that instant.

"...Hey, Saber, can I ask you a question?"

"Excuse me."

"Why...you seem to be very...painful since you came into this world?" Irisviel carefully searched for adjectives.

"It's the same with Kiritsugu. Saber, you always talk very little, and you often show a painful expression. Is there something wrong with the magic that makes you feel uncomfortable?"

"Ah, that one."

Saber was startled. Immediately, he adjusted his expression so as not to look into Irisviel's eyes.

"Just thinking about some things in the past, nothing worth caring about."

"Is that so..." Irisviel nodded and comforted her with a smile. "It's better for people not to indulge in the past, so that there will be hope, isn't it?"

"Indeed it is."

Saber nodded, although she didn't agree in her heart, she subconsciously didn't want to refute Irisviel's words.

Suddenly, Saber grabbed Irisviel's arms and pulled her closer to him. And because of this action, Irisviel's calm eyes met Saber's in an instant.

"...An enemy Servant?"

"That's right." Saber nodded seriously.

Not only the enemy's Servant, but also my opponent in the first battle...

Lancer Diarmuid!

PS:

Rope: I am a time traveler! Have foresight!

Saber: Sorry, FateZero has been cleared, it is now the second week, your foresight is invalid. (laugh)

Rope: ...

Chapter 19 Interlacing Spear and Sword Again

‘My lord, will the enemy take the bait like this? '

After spreading out his own breath, Diarmuid still asked Luo Pei through telepathic communication in doubt.

‘Such an obvious trap, no one should come over. '

"It's a trap or something, we haven't done anything too shady either."

In a certain container, Luo Pei said while leaning against the iron sheet with a flashlight. "Don't worry, the other party is also the kind of character who's faster with hands than brains, you just need to defeat her."

'learn. '

Let me take a good look at the fighting power of the Heroic Spirits. Following the small round hole made by water magic, Lopez peeked outside with all his energy.

It's been a long time.

When even Lancer felt that the enemy would not come over, on the opposite side of the middle of the road, two ladies walked over dignifiedly, like duelists accepting a challenge.

One of them has silver-white hair, a delicate face, and red pupils, but his expression is a little shy. It seems to be the master of the Servant.

But the other one is different, with golden sand hair, glazed pupils, and high fighting spirit, even Lancer, who is several meters away, can feel the pain like a knife scraping the skin.

"With such a clear fighting spirit, you must be Saber." Lancer responded to Saber's fighting spirit, and took off the gun on his shoulder.

"That's right."

Saber pushed Irisviel back, and then stepped forward.

"I am Artoria Pendragon, King Arthur of the British Empire, and I came to this world as a Saber during this war..."

In Lancer's shocked eyes, Saber also relieved the surging fighting spirit. The burst of magic power stirred up a whirlwind-like airflow in the air, and the airflow wrapped the girl's petite body. In an instant, her whole body was wrapped in silver armor, and the magic power turned into armor and gauntlets. And this is the true face of this Knight King Heroic Spirit.

"Lancer Diarmuid Odina, let us once again fight each other as knights."

"Saber!!"

Iris Viel was very puzzled why the King of Knights would reveal his real name to the enemy Servants before the battle started.

"Irisviel, leave it to me."
