"Hmm, am I asleep?"

Golden sunlight poured in through the door, spilling through every corner of the dojo.

Feeling the change in temperature, he instinctively woke up the body's functions, and after a ** sound, Emiya Shirou slowly opened his eyes.

Obviously, the scale of yesterday's battle was far less than the battle against Yagi Orocha, but when I woke up, I felt several times more fatigued than that time

Isn't physical fatigue mainly from the fatigue of the mind?

What is lacking in the body is not strength and energy, but motivation

"Shirou, are you awake?"

Just as Emiya Shirou was still trying to sort through the chaotic memories in his mind, a morning greeting came from beside him.

The voice is clear and bright, with a unique feminine sweetness, but also with a holy majesty.

He knows who this voice is, I should say that he knows very well whose voice it is.

There is only one person in this world who can meet this kind of majestic care.

"Saber?"

Is it because of a bad sleeping position?

The muscles all over my body were aching

Stroking the corner of his forehead, which was still aching, Emiya Shirou looked to his side.

There a blonde girl sat on her knees silently, without making the slightest sound.

The awe-inspiring posture does not feel the slightest wavering. Just sitting there, it was as if the whole person was one with the ashram.

Yes, it's not a dream. She did come back

"Ahh

While realizing this, it was as if a dinging sound sounded in my head.

The fragments of memories that had been chaotic instantly changed back to their original puzzle posture, remembering yesterday's events, Emiya Shirou bounced off the ground and bowed to Saber.

"I'm sorry. Yesterday I lost my temper, please forgive me. ”

The time limit for drunkenness is only one night

Even though he didn't drink alcohol, for Emiya Shirou, who has always shown his intellectuality now, that gaffe was stricter than getting drunk.

After all, if he is drunk, it can be said that he has the influence of alcohol, but his gaffe is 100% from himself!

"No, please keep your head up, Shirou. When it comes to gaffes, I'm stricter than you Jishiro."

After a night, the frustration of defeat had disappeared.

With a deep apology on her pretty face, Saber bowed her head to Emiya Shirou.

"Not only did I show such an unbearable side in front of the deed owner, but I also bothered Shirou for me, as a knight, there is nothing more out of shape than not being able to protect the master, please forgive me."

Instead of responding positively to Emiya Shirou's apology, he apologized to him in turn, and even Emiya Shirou was taken aback by Saber's actions.

"No, no, it's not a big deal, well, I don't care."

Because of the confusion in his brain, Emiya Shirou began to speak incoherently.

After all, there is no way to shirk the pretext that each has its own strengths

In the Holy Grail War, the Heroic Spirit has only one duty, and that is to protect the master until the end and defeat all opponents.

In the case of only one such duty, for the knight, he is weaker than the master who is supposed to protect, and to put it mildly is to be equated with incompetence.

If it's a heroic spirit like Caster who isn't good at fighting, or a guy like the previous one of Emiya Shirou (Red A) who throws honor aside, it's no problem, but this time it's Saber!!

The Saber who valued the knight's sense of honor more than his life, the stubborn Cheng dù who was better than Joan of Arc, and the Emiya Shirou's perception of her was not surprising that throwing gloves at him (symbolizing the breakup and duel) was also expected.

Originally, at the moment when he recalled what he did yesterday, Emiya Shirou was even thinking about how to apologize and keep the other party

I didn't expect her to be able to put down the fact that she was defeated by the deed owner in just one night?

It's not scientific

"Thank you. Then again, Shirou, there's something I want to ask you," and after a pause, Saber took a deep breath and continued, "As a Heroic Spirit, I'm even weaker than you as the Covenant Master, do you think I'm incompetent?"

"Nope! How come?!"

Is Saber incompetent?

If Saber is also incompetent, then wouldn't he have hanged himself directly in his previous life?

Not even having time to think, Emiya Shirou shook his head almost reflexively.

"I mean, Saber, I don't know if you noticed this, but what I want to tell you is that I took advantage of you in that fight yesterday."

Without waiting for Saber to speak, Emiya Shirou hurriedly continued.

"Let's not talk about popularity, think about it carefully, don't you think I'm familiar with your fighting style? Because of the relationship between the previous two lives, I am very familiar with Saber's personality and even routines, and I have the advantage of knowing myself and the other. On the other hand, you don't know anything about my tactics, and you've already suffered a lot of losses for that alone."

"However, it cannot be denied that Shirou did not cheat. Although I am very unwilling, but in yesterday's duel, Shirou, you defeated me with your own strength. Shaking his head slightly, Saber interrupted Emiya Shirou's words, "Besides, I have to say that Shirou, your last blow is really good, and the three sword rails you swung at the same time blocked all the life paths of my wooden knife, and if you were in the middle of a battle, even if you were holding a wooden knife, that single knife would be enough to cut off my head." There is no doubt that it is a divine sword technique that has transcended time and space. To be able to create such a move, Shirou must have put a lot of hard work, right?"

"No, I don't have that much ability, and that sword technique is purely imitation. I watched it once a long time ago, but I never learned it. It's only recently that I was able to barely use it."

"Without the guidance of the master, it is not easy to learn the moves on your own based on only one memory, Shirou, you don't have to be humble. It's a fact that my sword skills are already below you. ”

"Not only you, but also the Noble Phantasm"

"In that case, Shirou, you didn't use magic, did you? Shirou, you don't have to worry anymore, I've already put down my mind about winning or losing, but" After a pause, Saber's emerald green pupils looked directly into Emiya Shirou's eyes, "There is one thing I have to make clear first." Even though I won't disagree with your policy again, that doesn't mean I agree with your policy."

“Saber”

"So," Saber said lightly, putting his finger on Emiya's lips, and a smile appeared on Saber's face, "There are still three years to go, right?" I'm expecting Shirou if you can convince me, okay?"

P.S.1: Well, just as I preview, I have something to go out on July 16th, and I probably won't be able to update it that day.
