Chapter Thirty-Nine: Saber, Obeying the Call
Warehouse.
The warehouse of the Emiya family.
Emiya is an old-fashioned Japanese garden with a long history, and its sturdiness cannot be compared to that of modern buildings with reinforced concrete structures.
Although the warehouse used to be Alice Phil's hiding place when Kiritsugu bought it, it was completely renovated, but that was ten years ago. After the last Holy Grail War, this warehouse has been used to store all kinds of miscellaneous items that are not commonly used, and it has only been opened a handful of times a year, and Kiritsugu has not thought of repairing it.
Ten years of wind and sun, time has passed, and the warehouse, which is not very strong, has become even more fragile, and perhaps another earthquake of a higher magnitude will abandon the warehouse and rebuild.
Of course, now there is no need to wait for the earthquake, Illya fell from the sky and smashed directly through the roof of the warehouse, plus half of the wall, two storage shelves, and more than a dozen storage boxes.
Illya, who had finally managed to dissipate the impact and stopped rolling, staggered to her feet. The tight skirt on her body looked thin, but in fact it was often open with a level A magic barrier, and the degree of protection was comparable to that of the hardest armor.
Although this magic armor still could not stop the terrifying power of the giant, under its protection and reduction, Illya was only slightly injured, not unable to stand up like the other three.
Shaking her dazed head, the girl instinctively clenched her wand and looked out through the hole that had been smashed out. The giant was standing outside the warehouse, carrying the huge axe and sword in his hand. Perhaps it was to recover the weapon he had thrown, so he didn't chase after him in the first place, giving Illya a chance to breathe.
The terrifying giant approached step by step, the huge soles of his feet stomping on the ground in the backyard and making a fluffy sound, and the already dilapidated warehouse was further crumbling by the tremor of the earth, which also made Illya's heart fall to the bottom.
Are you going to die?
I, am I going to die?
Mom, Daddy, Maiya Mom, Sister Taiga...... Am I going to die?
"Bang bang bang!"
ββ β β β β β β β β β β β ββββοΌβ
The giant's roar mingled with the sound of gunfire and entered Illya's mind.
The woman with the twin guns hadn't given up yet, and kept shooting, trying to divert the giant's attention and give Illya time to escape.
This time, however, the giant did not look back, his furious eyes, heavy steps, and exaggerated roar all locked on Illya alone, as if he would not stop until he knocked down the girl who seemed to be the weakest, but in fact the most supportive.
Once again, the fear of death eroded Illya's heart.
I don't want to die!
I don't want to die!
I haven't grown up yet.
I haven't been to school yet.
I haven't seen Maiya's mother yet.
I still want to live with my mom and dad again.
I also want to protect this home.
How could I just die!!
Little Elijah, a girl as pure as an edelweiss, her wishes are so innocent and simple.
It is precisely because of this innocence and innocence that her desire has become incomparably stronger, strong enough to drive the power beyond magic, strong enough to awaken new miracles.
There is light.
The warehouse lit up.
A soft light lit up on the ground beneath Illya's feet, casting a splendor and dispelling the darkness.
The light robbed the girl of her vision and stopped her thinking.
The world seems to be stopped by a magical force.
Whether it was the roar or the sound of gunfire, even the approaching giants became so far away.
She just stared blankly, blankly.
Looking at the brilliant light, a familiar figure walked out, and with a wave of his arms, he repelled the giant, the monster that had put her, her mother, and the two people who had come to save her in near danger.
The world that had been stopped was flowing again.
Today is a very windy day
The clouds flowed, and the moon showed a little for a while.
The silver moonlight that shone into the warehouse, shining on the knight's outfit, like a dreamlike girl.
The girl turned and stared at Illya with jewel-like pupils and clear eyes.
βServantΒ· Saber, come at the call, I ask you, are you my Master?"
The awe-inspiring voice instantly awakened Illya's dusty memory. It was ten years ago, before they had moved away from Fuyuki, that Mom and Dad brought back a blonde girl named Saber one night, and they had hugged her.
Although the girl in her memory was not wearing armor and her face was a little blurry, her emerald eyes and the hair on top of her head were exactly the same.
She had a strong premonition that this young girl knight was the one her parents had brought back ten years ago.
βSaberβ¦β¦β
"Yes. The young knight smiled softly, just as she had hugged herself.
"Saber, I'm the daughter of Illya, Illyasfil, Emiya Kiritsugu, and Alice Phil!"
"Kiritsugu and Alice Field's ......"
Saber's pretty pupils constricted slightly, apparently remembering what had happened.
"You remember? Sure enough, you're that Saber. Illya's face suddenly brightened, "Saber, save your mother, she's badly injured. β
"What?
Hearing this, Saber's face suddenly changed, and he looked in the direction that Illya was pointing, and sure enough, he saw his familiar figure falling in the ruins.
However, unlike Illya, who was well protected by her parents and had no combat experience, Saber remained calm. After a moment of careful perception, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, it's still in time. Illya, don't be in a hurry, listen to me. Just do what I say, and Alice Phil will be fine. β
"Really?" Illya's eyes cooled, "What is going to be done." β
"Go to your mother, take out the thing that is buried in your body, and put it in Alice Field's wounded place and you will be saved. β
"Thing, what's in my body, but I don't know what's there. Illya's face was confused.
"That must have been what Kiritsugu or Alice Phil didn't tell you. But it doesn't matter, you must be able to feel it now, it's the bond between you and me, and with your parents. β
Hearing Saber's words, Illya closed her eyes and searched her body for what Saber said with a cycle of magical power.
Soon, her "eyes" appeared, something that was not hers.
It was a scabbard, gold and blue intertwined in a style similar to Saber's own blonde hair and blue skirt, and the center of the scabbard was engraved with words that Illya didn't understand.
The words lit up with the connection to Saber, and the entire scabbard was thrilled by Saber's presence.
It was something that belonged to Saber, and it was the relationship between the Emiya family and her.
