100. Defiant Lancer
By the time the three of them arrived in Fuyuki City, the sun had begun to set in the west, and night was approaching. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's so lively......
The three of them got off the bus at the park square in front of the station, looking at the busy figures of people in the sunset, Alice Fell couldn't help but sigh with flashing eyes.
But Saber beside her, like a battlefield commander, coldly observed the grass and trees around her.
"Kiritsugus must have arrived here."
"yes, it should be half a day before us."
When Kiritsugu was about to return home, he had already begun to act covertly. I got here by a completely different route than Alice Phil and the others. He was supposed to take a passenger plane to Shin-Osaka International Airport first, and then take a train to Fuyuki City.
"Don't you want to find him?"
"It doesn't matter. He should come to us. ”
Saber didn't say anything, and in his heart he was tired of the two of them not making a concrete plan.
"What do we do after that?".
"Is this...... At this stage, it is necessary to see the situation change and respond flexibly. ”
That is to say. Nothing to do?"
"Correct."
Looking at Saber and Alice Phil with a dazed face, she smiled like a child who had succeeded in her prank.
"But that's not worth it. It's rare to come from us so far. ”
Alice Phil smiled and looked around at the weeds around her. Then he walked forward. Her steps are crisp and neat. Even the footsteps of Saber beside him were a little messy.
"It's hard to ...... Is there an enemy servant?"
"No, how could it be."
Alice Fell immediately denied. She turned her head and looked Saber in the face with an inviting look.
"Saber, it's so rare, let's go shopping, it must be fun."
“……“
Saber was stunned when he heard this. I really didn't expect her to say this. Then, her expression immediately became serious.
"Alice Phil, don't take it lightly. Now that you have set foot on the land of Fuyuki, please have the consciousness that you are in the enemy country. The Holy Grail War has begun. ”
"yes, so I trust Saber completely. But if a servant is approaching, it should be able to tell by the breath. ”
"This ...... Yes, indeed. ”
Whether spirits or entities, servants and servants can sense each other's presence by breath. Of course, the level of ability also varies according to individual differences, and there are servants who can hide their aura like assassins.
"For me, the limit of my perception is two hundred meters in radius. And if the other party also used any special abilities, it is difficult to say. ”
"Ah...... In other words, we're safe now. ”
"Yes. But ......"
"Then you will think that I am the one who insisted on pulling you there. We didn't know what to look for anyway. ”
"Peace of mind, my perception range is larger, let's have a good time, I will ensure the safety of the two." Saver's voice rang out, "Ellie, let's have fun." ”
But through the conversation just now, Saber once again discovered what purpose Alice Phil's actions seemed to contain. No matter how she thinks about it, it doesn't look like she's deadlifting Saber out just for fun.
"Alice Phil, it's better to find a way to notify Kiritsugu after deciding on a base, and then do a good job.
Isn't it just right to have a villa in Einzbelen just outside the city?"
"Is this...... yes......"
Alice Fell began to frustrate. It seems that she can still realize that her indiscretion was wrong. Saber sensed that there was something hidden in it, and began to question Alice Phil.
"It's just shopping, don't be so nervous."
"I'm ...... First ......"
Alice Fell replied with her head bowed as if she was frightened. Saber sighed helplessly.
“…… As you know, I was summoned by the Holy Grail. Then I learned the knowledge of this world, and of course, I also know the land under my feet that is about to become a battlefield. Alice Fair, it's not a metropolis or a tourist attraction, and as far as I know, there's not even a place worth seeing. ”
"No...... No, it's not like that. ”
Alice Fell kept repeating the words like a child. After a while, she finally made up her mind and confessed to Saber.
"This ...... It was my first time going out. ”
“…… Huh?"
Saber didn't seem to understand, and was stunned on the spot.
"I mean...... This is the first time since I was born...... Come to the outside world ......"
"What about you...... Stayed in that city all the time? ”
Alice Fell tapped her head, which had been hanging down, as if she had made a mistake.
"I just made a puppet for the Holy Grail War, so there's no need to go out. That's what Grandpa said to me. ”
Saber's life as Artoria was not happy either.
And for the people in that frozen city, who have been imprisoned since birth, Saber can't help but feel sympathy.
"But it's not like I don't know anything. Kiritsugu often brought me movies and photos to show me, and told me a lot of stories about the outside world. For example, in New York and Paris, there are many people living various lives. He told me that, of course, about Japan. ”
Alice Fell smiled lonely and looked wistfully at the hurried people around her.
"But...... If you want to say that you have seen it with your own eyes, this is the first time. So, I was very happy, and I unconsciously overdone it. I'm so sorry. ”
Saber quietly lowered his gaze and nodded. Then she flexed her thin elbow and pointed at Alice Phil.
“…… saber?”
"Although it is my first time here, it is a knight's duty to protect the princess. I can't reach it yet, but I'm trying. Please. ”
“…… Thank you. ”
Alice Phil's gaze gleamed with pleasure before she hooked Saber's arm.
There was still a long time before the night.
"Tsk, Sister Lily, have fun...... Such a peaceful day won't be too long......" Luo Fengyun's body slowly melted into the darkness and disappeared into the shadows.
Even in the heart of a bustling area, the combination of Saber and Alice Fell is just as striking.
A silver-haired girl with a noble temperament in a gorgeous costume, and a delicate and beautiful boy who was hooked by a girl's arm. Even at a movie star-studded drinking party, you don't necessarily see such a perfect combination.
Images that used to be only visible on screens are now being brought to life on the streets of a city in Japan. Passers-by often stop at just one glance.
The two just walked indifferently, not as intimate as lovers, not as excited as tourists, just walking along the street like that. Occasionally they would stop and smile at the windows that glittered in the light of the setting sun. Or curiously look at the display in the display window. But they just watched. But he never went into any of the stores.
They are like bystanders, walking down the street, but not in the midst of the chaos.
The winter sun has finally set completely. The streets are cloaked in another layer of color by the night. Alice Phil was intoxicated when she saw the colorful neon lights flashing incessantly in the landscape.
There are countless cities in the world whose night views are far better than those of Fuyuki City, but for Alice Fair, all these things that she sees with her own eyes are the most beautiful and precious treasures.
"It's so beautiful...... It turns out that as long as there are many people, the night will become so beautiful......"
Alice Fell muttered to herself excitedly, while Saber nodded speechlessly.
For her, this landscape, which is far from the era in which she once lived, also brought her a lot of emotion. But there was always a string in her head that was tight.
This is enemy territory, and that has never changed.
Saber's ability to hunt for enemies is not very good, and depending on the situation, Saber wandering around may be spotted by enemy servants first. While most enemies don't attack the crowd directly, they may take advantage of the moment to surprise themselves.
Even so, she did not force Alice Phil, but chose to accompany her to breathe free air. It's all because she has unwavering faith in her sword.
She is the Heroic Spirit of the Seat of the Sword, one of the strongest classes chosen by the Holy Grail. If it's melee, no one can be above her. She believes that no matter what the situation she fights, she will be able to handle it in stride.
Therefore, it is most advantageous to be sneak attacked. As long as you block the attack openly, you can find another opportunity to counterattack. She will let all the stupid opponents who underestimate her know what it means to be a swordsman.
