Chapter 48 Eve

The sky gradually darkened, and after eating simple food that I don't know whether it should be breakfast or dinner, the few people who still maintained their fighting ability sat on the table of Tosaka House without saying a word, quietly waiting for what could be the time for the last battle to come quietly, only Sakura was busy cleaning up a mess of cups and plates. Although she was excluded from all the combatants, Sakura, who knew that she had no role other than dragging her feet, did not raise any objections, except for the worried eyes of Emiya Shirou and Rin Tosaka in her spare time, she took care of all the housework and waited for the final outcome with peace of mind.

"Are you ready?" Zhao Mian gently put down the empty teacup in his hand and looked at the faces of the other three people and asked. "Tosaka aside, Emiya Shirou, how are you preparing?"

“…… No problem. After a moment's thought, he finally came up with an answer that was not so much an expression of his determination as a sign of his confidence. But after saying this, a flash of magic flashed through the collar of his shirt, and Emiya Shirou, who had been somewhat cowering in the wooden high chair, puffed up his chest slightly, making himself look much taller than usual at this moment, even though he was sitting now.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's the point, 'Forget it about Tosaka', you tin jar monster. Rin Tosaka, who had just eaten her breakfast with a lazy look, was now in good spirits, and she kicked Zhao Mian's leg with a kick on Zhao Mian's left hand - the hard-soled cowhide boots "clicked" and kicked on the iron plate. "I'm a girl compared to the guy over there, right? Why are you worried about that idiot ?!!!?"

"Who do you say idiot?!!!" Emiya Shirou jumped up at once, "you hateful vixen!"

"Even the dumbest fox is smarter than an idiot. Tosaka smiled smugly, folded her hands around her chest, leaned back in her chair, and tapped her toes on the ground - a gesture that might have given her a good balance or some trivial amusement, but this time there were some exceptions. Sakura spilled some of the soup when she was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks just now, although some girls in a hurry did some cleaning up in time, but the ground is still a little wet now, so Tosaka, who doesn't usually do anything wrong in his own home, suddenly changed at this moment- She leaned back, but she didn't have time to stabilize her center of gravity after the chair lost balance, because the chair under her slid forward because of the water on the ground, which caused her whole center of gravity to change a few centimeters back, so she inevitably continued to fall backwards. But in the process of this fall, there may be a small detail worth exploring. Tosaka actually has a martial arts background, although it can't be said to be very proficient, but it can also be regarded as a long-term connection with Bajiquan, so even if there is such a fork, it is unlikely that she will just fall like this, but why does she continue to fall backwards? Let's slow down the camera for a moment. Rin Tosaka smiled a little proudly, and then she clasped her hands on her chest, leaned back on the chair, and lightly tapped the ground with her feet under the table, at this time the front end of the chair she was sitting on was slightly off the ground, and because she leaned on the back of the chair, this distance was gradually widened, originally at this time, the person who made this action should adjust his center of gravity, so that he would not continue to lean back and cause him to fall, but Tosaka, who was smiling a little proudly, obviously forgot that the ground was still wet, and the two fulcrums behind the chair slid backwards at this moment, making her lose control of her balanceAt this moment, she did react, and at the moment when she lost her balance, she stretched out her hands as if instinctively, hoping to grasp something to help her stand, but just as her hands were about to touch the table in front of her, which still contained precious porcelain, she suddenly seemed to realize something, and suddenly pulled her hands up, and then fell back with her eyes closed, and let out a short cry, "Uhh

"Smack!" was the sound of a chair falling to the ground, but Tosaka's screams didn't follow—as a pair of hard hands grabbed her arms and pulled her out of the run-of-the-water. Well, maybe it's better to lift it up? Because if you tell it from the action, although the height is not as high as it was back then, but in terms of form, it is roughly the same as the action of the father teasing the child in childhood, and there is no fixed name for that action, but generally speaking, it is called "throwing high".

"I was about to say it's because you're good in every way, and you're a guy to trust, and you just give it to me. Zhao Mian grabbed Rin Tosaka's arms with both hands, lifted her up, and even carried her out of the wet ground in order to prevent her from slipping again. Zhao Mian shook his head a little helplessly, "Should I be glad I didn't say it?"

"Ha, haha......" Tosaka laughed twice and didn't reply.

"Although you have done a good job in the big things, I hope you can be careful in these small places. Zhao Mian gently knocked Tosaka's forehead - it didn't hurt, said it was a knock, but in fact, I am afraid it was closer to touching it carefully twice, but Tosaka still raised his hand to cover the position where he was knocked, and smiled at Zhao Mian with some embarrassment. Glaring angrily at Rin Tosaka, who was playing tricks, Zhao Mian sat back in his chair sideways, "Forget it, forget it." A person will not step into the same river twice in his life, you can pay attention to it next time. ”

"Ahaha. Putting down her hand covering her forehead, she laughed dryly twice as a means of fooling around, Rin Tosaka straightened up her somewhat wrinkled clothes, and then took two steps to sit on the chair on the other side of Zhao Mian - but when she sat down, she looked up just in time to see Saber staring at the cup in front of her with a serious face, not knowing what she was thinking. Although curiosity kills cats, just like the first cat that keeps dying, Rin Tosaka stretched out her paw to the pensive lioness, "Saber, what do you want?"

"I'm worried. SABER SAID, SHE STILL BURIED HER HEAD, FROWNING TIGHTLY, UNLIKE ZHAO MIAN, SHE WAS STILL WEARING A SIMPLE BLUE AND WHITE DRESS WITHOUT ARMOR, WHICH MADE HER LOOK UNUSUALLY THIN AND THIN. HOWEVER, EVEN IF SHE LOOKED A LITTLE WEAK, SHE STILL SAID THESE WORDS IN A STEADY TONE, "THERE ARE TWO SERVANTS ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND THE STRENGTH OF THE MAN NAMED YAN FENG QILI IS NOT VERY SMALL, PLUS THERE IS ARCHER WATCHING FROM THE SIDE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THIS BATTLE WILL BE." ”

The vanquished could not survive - this heavy thought once again returned to the minds of the two masters, like a pinprick in the needle, reminding them of their own presence. In the restaurant, there was a sudden silence.

"Speaking of which, SABER, if you get the Holy Grail, what wish would you like to make to that so-called Cauldron of Almighty?" but in the midst of the gloom, Zhao Mian opened his mouth to divert the topic.

"......" SABER raised her head, her delicate face staring at Zhao Mian expressionlessly, but from her eyes, it was not difficult to see what she wanted to express - why did she ask this at this time?

"It's just out of curiosity, you know, everyone has their own curiosity, if you don't mind, can you satisfy my curiosity at this time?" Zhao Mian shrugged his shoulders indifferently, the armor on his body clanged, "Besides, we came to the conclusion earlier, as long as we win, the Holy Grail will be handed over to you to use, please rest assured." ”

THERE WAS SILENCE FOR A WHILE, PERHAPS THINKING ABOUT WHAT KIND OF MOOD SABER WAS SILENT FOR A LONG TIME, BUT WHEN THE SUN FINALLY WITHDREW ITS LAST RAYS, SHE SPOKE, "I WANT TO RE-ELECT THE KING." ”

An inexplicable wish, condensed into a girl, accidentally became the legendary King Arthur, and then after spending her life there, she felt that someone else should be more reliable than herself, so she wanted to realize this ridiculous idea through the Holy Grail.

After listening, Zhao Mian shook his head and didn't say anything.

"What's wrong?" Rin Tosaka, who was paying attention to everyone's expressions in the midst of this string of words, saw this action, and she asked out loud - her question attracted not only Saber's eyes, but even the eyes of everyone else in the room.

This wish involves a temporal refutation, and it cannot be realized. Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhao Mian pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's assume that you can really use the Holy Grail to fulfill such a wish, and the Holy Grail allows you to go back in time to change the process of choosing a king in that time period, and then you elected a new king, and that king took the whole of England on a new path - we will not talk about the changes in world history caused by this, let's talk about other issues." You pulled out the sword in the stone and became king, and then after a lifetime of repentance, hoping to use the Holy Grail to stop this from happening. So if you succeed, you go back in time to stop all this from happening, and the new king leads the people on the road to happiness as you hope, but the problem also arises, the sword in the stone chose you at the beginning, you interfered with all this happening, so there is all this behind, now you are no longer King Arthur, you have not gone through the life that King Arthur should have gone through, no longer hold power, no longer become the Saber sitting here now, I ask you- So who is that who changed history?"

"You have changed the past, the past has not existed without you, you do not exist in the past and naturally do not exist in the present, but the fact that you are still sitting in front of us proves that this wish cannot be fulfilled, because no power can change the fact that it has been done - no power can!"
