XLVI - Interlude - Streets at night
(Yesterday's one more made up.,After coming back, I'll code the remaining chapters)
The streets at night are empty, one after another street lamps are separated from each other, lonely and exude a dim light, the dim light seems to tell its lonely and lonely mood, only one or two pedestrians pass by, the footsteps are very urgent but the sound is very light, presumably rushing home to reunite with relatives! They came softly, and hurried away, never taking away the loneliness of the street lamps, just passing by one after another.
"Click, click, click" two footsteps sounded one after the other, both the former and the latter showed the extraordinary of their owners, and they were particularly eye-catching in this quiet street.
Both of them are walking without getting rid of the disease, the difference is that the former is fast and slow, and even the sound of stepping on the ground is controlled quite moderately, obviously looking at the look of its owner is in a hurry like the pedestrians, and its owner is indeed walking fast, but the speed between the two steps and the volume of the sound are well controlled, giving people the feeling that the nobles are walking in their own gardens, rather than rushing on the streets at night.
Although the footsteps in the rear are not as outstanding as the footsteps in front, just like the aristocracy, but they are calm and powerful, neat and regular, reflecting that its owner is a little old-fashioned, admitting the character of death, with the footsteps similar to the aristocracy in front, this side feels like an old butler following the nobles.
Not only are these two footsteps particularly eye-catching when combined, but even their owners are quite eye-catching. The first person was just like his footsteps, the long silver-white hair that seemed to be scattered down from a waterfall, coupled with the expression that was anxious but not rude, and the dark black trench coat draped on his body was just like a real foreign aristocratic lady (?) The same; The person behind him was particularly surprising, originally this kind of replica of the old-fashioned way of walking, should be reflected in the old man with white hair and wearing a tuxedo, but at the moment he followed the eldest lady (?) Behind him turned out to be a girl, I saw that the girl who followed behind had short blond hair, but a long braid tied behind her head, her face was holy and beautiful, which was admirable, and she was wearing a yellow raincoat for unknown reasons (please refer to the armor that Shirou Emiya gave Saber to hide at the beginning of the Fifth Holy Grail War) These two are extremely eye-catching on the streets at night, and they are the master-slave duo who have just formed a relationship, the former "Hero of the Iron Iron", now" The agent of the two major inhibitory forces" Emiya Shirou and Severant, known as the "Holy Maiden of the Red Lotus", Saber Joan of Arc.
"Saber of Severant, according to the contract, I ask you here, are you still my Master?" Just thirty minutes ago, this rigid language and awe-inspiring and holy voice once made Emiya Shirou think that the "Knight King" Artoria who he had dreamed of and whose fate was closely linked to his two lives was coming, but after looking closely, Emiya Shirou knew that he had guessed wrong. Although the face is almost the same as Artoria's, they all have a holy beauty, and even the intonation and words are similar, even the hair
The color and length are similar, but the difference is that Artoria's braid is coiled on her head, while the girl's braid in front of her hangs down the back of her head.
Sure enough, is it because I miss Artoria so much that my judgment is inaccurate for a moment? Emiya Shirou, who was walking in front, couldn't calm down for a long time, and the moment he saw Joan of Arc, his heart seemed to stop, and he couldn't even make a sound.
However, if you look closely, the two of them are also very different in dress, and their temperament is also slightly different, but the impact on Emiya Shirou at that moment just now was too great, and he guessed wrong for a while. Until now, Emiya Shirou still deeply remembers that twice in that night, Artoria, who rescued himself under Lancer's gun, was wearing a dense steel knight's armor, and the girl in front of him was wearing a cross-shaped covered iron armor, wearing a long coat, and the armor was only half a body, and the hem of the long coat under the armor opened a gap, so that the girl showed a beautiful leg with a beautiful line, and the last and biggest difference in clothing was that the girl wore a dark blue, It has a cape with a pure white cross. There can be no mistake with such a dress, Emiya Shirou is basically sure that the girl in front of him is another girl of the same rank as Saber, Joan of Arc, after all, that pure white cross is really too conspicuous!
But thinking about it deeply, it is natural for Alaya not to let Artoria, who is one of the people most closely related to Emiya Shirou, assist him, although Alaya and Gaia promised that he can change the development of the world line at will within the scope of Emiya Shirou's ability, but that does not mean that they have no idea about the change of the world line. Now that Emiya Shirou, as the co-agent of the two major inhibiting forces, has a decisive weight on the world line, if he moves people who are deeply related to him at will, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause any impact on the world line; Moreover, Artoria is not only deeply related to Emiya Shirou, but she also has a lot of connections with the "evil of this world", you must know that she not only dealt with the "evil of this world" in the Fourth Holy Grail War, but also participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War and fought the "evil of this world" for the second time as the Severant of the future "Emiya Shirou".
In order to avoid any variables, such as the Fifth Holy Grail War heroes such as Artoria, Medusa, Medea, Cรบ Chulainn, and Hercules, etc., Alaya and Gaia plan to throw her/them into the Fifth Holy Grail War for Emiya Shirou to deal with. Therefore, it can be explained that the Saber that appears in front of me is not Artoria but another Saber.
As for why they are obsessed with the rank of Saber, it is Alaya and Gaia who, after judging, think that the rank of Saber is the most suitable for being the assistant of Shirou Emiya. I don't know what will happen in the future, but according to Alaya and Gaia's current investigation, Emiya Shirou, whether in the previous life (mainly referring to Red A) or in this life (reference and Type-Mars's combat methods), is better at attacking with bows and arrows, especially the one that tries out the enemy's weaknesses with a wide range of attacks, and even finally opens the Demon Eye of Straight Death, and concentrates the magic power A little bit of the attack method is quite similar to an archer, and it just so happens that he was also summoned as Archer's heroic spirit in his last life, Therefore, after judging by Alaya and Gaia, they decided that Emiya Shirou needed a melee type of Heroic Spirit as a helper, so they threw Joan of Arc to Emiya Shirou.
This is also why Emiya Shirou was walking just now, and suddenly there was a magic circle under his feet and was forced to stop, and he found a place where there was no one to summon the heroic spirit After N years, Emiya Shirou finally expressed his helplessness and shock at that time in a casual chat with Gaia and Alaye, God testified, walking and walking, suddenly there was a magic circle and a heroic spirit outside the soles of his feet, even if this can be regarded as a good thing, then the sudden occurrence will scare the people at that time, and it is not good for the heart!
