Tokisaki Kurumi's Journey to the Plane

"Click~"

The door of the quiet cafe was opened, and Saber straightened her face. Although she was very confused about the witch's invitation, she still came here as promised.

The girl was wearing a black dress, no different from her usual dress, and there was an alchemy doll sitting on her shoulders, but Saber could clearly feel the fluctuations in magic power.

'Is it a magic trick that no one can see?'

"Ah, ah, ah~ I didn't expect the King of Knights to be so punctual."

Saber glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, her expression still serious, "Witch, what on earth do you want?"

Kuang San sat on the chair, leaning his elbows on the table and supporting his chin with his palms. His whole temperament instantly became lazy.

Saber frowned, "If there's nothing else, I think everyone should stop wasting each other's time."

"Hey~" Kuang San leaned forward slightly, "Let's form an alliance~"

Saber frowned, "You should ask my Master about this matter, not..."

"You don't even have the right to speak?"

"Of course not, we just respect each other."

"Then Emiya Kiritsugu, does he respect you?"

Saber stood up immediately and slapped her palms on the table, "Witch, the trick of sowing discord is a joke to me!"

After Kuang San signaled red, the little guy got up and hypnotized everyone in the coffee shop, and brought them coffee and some small pastries.

Saber saw this scene, took a deep breath and sat down, "Sorry, I lost my temper."

Seeing that the witch on the other side did not speak, Saber said, "Don't you disdain the Holy Grail? Why do you want to join forces with me now?"

Kuang San blinked, "Because you look like the best person to bully!"

"Well, well, well~" Kuang San pressed the air with his hands, trying to calm the little lion who was about to become angry.

"It's just a joke~ Don't worry about it."

Saber's eyes were cold. She didn't know why her mood fluctuated so violently. It would never be like this normally.

'Am I influenced by the other party?'

The guess was quickly denied by Saber. She was still confident that she could tell whether she was confused.

Kuang San swirled the coffee with a small spoon, "If you don't believe me at this moment, you should believe in me as a god, right?"

"I have to say that you, whom Lancer calls 'Her Majesty the Goddess,' are indeed fair and just."

Kuang San shook his little head lightly, "It's just out of necessity. Who would be free to take care of that?"

"A last resort?"

"Yeah~" Kuang San complained. The black tear mole under the corner of his eye had already appeared, but Saber didn't pay attention to it?

Saber didn't know why, but she felt a little irritated and loosened her collar, which made her feel better.

"If you come to complain to me about the work of the gods, I think you have come to the wrong person, Your Majesty the Goddess."

"Don't call me witch anymore?"

Saber opened her mouth, and her emerald eyes reflected Kurumi's expression of pain. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

The person opposite was stirring the coffee, and the mist was steaming in circles, but he never showed any sign of wanting to taste it.

"Well~ I'm not a witch."

"I know, and I apologize for my previous mistakes."

Kurumi raised her eyes and intertwined with Saber's gaze.

"I'm not a god either."

Saber no longer raised her eyebrows, but found it a little funny, "Then you can't be a human, right?"

The girl opposite shrugged, "Elves transformed from humans, conceived from the World Tree."

"This..." Saber turned her eyes slightly, wanting to see Kurumi's ears, because in her memory, elves should be a group of beautiful, nature-loving humanoid species with pointed ears.

"It's not what you think." Kuang San pushed his long night hair to one side, revealing his small, crystal-clear ears, which were just like ordinary humans.

"Why, are you disappointed?"

"That's not the case."

Saber didn't care at all. She had relaxed her mind and actually chatted with the "witch" whom she was quite afraid of.

"There should be a lot of myths and legends about this, right?" Saber tried to comfort the girl who was slightly depressed. She didn't know why she did this.

"I'm different from you."

Saber was stunned and said subconsciously: "Of course we are different."

Kuang San finally picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, but the bitter taste made him frown slightly.

She still couldn't stand the smell.

"I mean, I have a body, like a living magician."

Saber said nothing, waiting for Kuang San to finish. She was even a little confused as to why the girl said these words.

At this time, the alchemy doll waved his hand gently, and the magic enchantment easily enveloped the cafe.

Saber became wary, but when she saw the black-haired girl, she naturally relaxed.

The Red Queen was doing small-scale modeling with the magic pattern network on the side. Saber's high resistance to magic made her secretly smack her lips.

"Want to know why I'm here?"

"Send all the heroic spirits back to the Hall of Valor?" Saber asked tentatively.

She didn't know why Kurumi did so many things. After the Holy Grail War, all the heroic spirits would naturally return to the Hall of Valor. Such a thankless thing...

"This is just one of them. The main purpose is the Holy Grail. No, it should be the contents of the Holy Grail."

Saber's eyes changed a lot, "What's in the Holy Grail?"

"Do you believe I am God?"

"Is not it?"

Kuang San shook his head, "I can only be regarded as a 'god agent' at best. What do you think a deified me looks like?"

"Cold and ruthless, absolutely abiding by the rules." Saber paused and continued: "Cannot compete."

"Yes." There was a hint of bitterness in the corner of the girl's mouth, "Because it was not me at that time, but the 'rules'."

Saber was still confused, and Kurumi's next words were like thunder on the ground, shocking her!

"The reason why I came here and intervened in the Holy Grail War is because the Holy Grail has been contaminated."

"It...it can't grant wishes anymore?"

Under the influence of 'Charm', Saber, who has an amazing sense of magic power, also began to change her view of Kurumi. At this time, when Kurumi said something, Saber's first reaction was to 'question' rather than 'question'!

"That's not true. It's just a different way to realize your wish."

"For example, if you want world peace, the Holy Grail will kill everyone in the world! In this way, the world will be peaceful. Of course, it does not have such a powerful ability, so the Holy Grail will choose to realize your wish on a small scale.

For example..."

Saber clenched her fists and stared at Kuang San's beautiful face, "For example?"

"Kill a city!"

Saber looked dazed for a while, "Is this the fundamental reason why you intervened in the Holy Grail War? To get rid of the Holy Grail?"

"It's not me that intervenes, it's the 'rules' that intervene. Secondly, it's not to get rid of the Holy Grail, but to unplug the source of evil."

"The universal wish-making mechanism..."

"If the Holy Grail is so powerful, why do we need 'rules'?"
