Nine - Tearful eyes are always a great weapon

"Saber, how does it feel to travel in the air?"

"There's nothing special like before, it's more boring than you think."

The airport in Fuyuki City.

It is a far east land of more than a continent from Einzberen's house.

Alice Phil and Saber, who is the protector, walk back to the ground from the plane.

What happened in the Einzberen family naturally did not reach their ears. At this moment, the first time she came to a place outside her home, in every sense, it was like stepping into a new world, and Alice Fair's heart was too excited to describe in words.

This is the world outside the house, where her husband, Kiritsugu Emiya, was born.

How new and exciting is it to see not from books or photographs, but to really see the grass and trees swinging and feel the breeze blowing in her face, which is so new and exciting for Alice Phil, who has been in the Einzberen family since she was born and has never taken such a step?

Saber's expression, by contrast, was much calmer.

Although it is not a wooden expressionless floor, it has a pretty face, but it is by no means like Alice Phil dancing.

Looking at this long-lost land, what suddenly came to my heart was not any special feelings, but simple, just a feeling of going home.

Right

She had been living here for nearly nine years since she had been summoned in advance by Emiya Shirou, almost one-third of her former life.

Here, she has friends who can laugh and scold, share joys and sorrows, and also have gentle and graceful, taking care of everything, like a friend like half a sister. And then, more importantly, it's a place where she meets the person she likes, and lives under the same roof with each other.

Compared to her hometown, which is her birthplace, but her own destiny is not up to her, and she must spend her day after day wearing a perfect mask, she doesn't know when she started, and in Saber's heart, she has turned this city as her home.

If Shirou's words are not accidental, he should be trying to bring Illya back at the Einzberen house now, right? Don't know how things are going well?

Looking in the direction in which he and Alice Fell had come on the plane, Saber thought silently.

"It's a shame I thought you'd be surprised to thank me."

"Alice Phil, although I have always thought so, you must think of me as a primitive, right?" Looking at Alice Phil next to him who interrupted his nostalgia for the past, Saber folded his hands and opened one eye to protest to the other party, "As long as the Heroic Spirit is in this world, a useful knowledge about this era will naturally appear in his mind. So, although I may not have seen the real thing, I know a lot about modern things, big and small, and I may know more than you. What's more, this isn't the first time I've been on a vehicle called an airplane. ”

"Huh?!! Saber: Have you ever flown before?!!" This time, it was Alice Phil's face with a shocked expression.

"Ahhhh In addition, there are some official rides, which are all worthless journeys, right? What's wrong? Alice Fell. Why are you looking at me like hell?"

"Because, because of the airplane or something, it shouldn't have been made in Saber's time, right?"

"Yes, I didn't say it was when I was still alive."

"But, but, isn't that strange? Saber, you were summoned, obviously it was only a long time ago, and besides, you have to be with me all the time" The doubts when I first met each other in the past came to my mind again, and Alice Phil looked at Saber with an uncertain gaze, "Why is it not the first time you have traveled by plane even though you have been summoned not long ago, Saber?" And from the first meeting, I felt as if you didn't say something about it. Saber, can you tell me why?"

In the eyes that were originally full of anticipation, there was a trace of uneasiness and trepidation in the eyes that had not been resolved at the moment.

Alice Field's uneasiness was not unrelenting, and from hearing Saber's muttering on the first day of her descent into the world, she instinctively told her that what the other party had been hiding must have something to do with the Holy Grail War.

If it was a private matter, then Saber didn't plan to say it, and Alice Phil naturally wouldn't ask again. It's just that it was because she felt that it was a very important thing, and it had to be related to the Holy Grail War, that she wanted to know what was going on.

In the end, there is nothing she and Emiya Kiritsugu don't know about this Holy Grail War.

"Well, that's hard." Looked at by Alice Phil's pitiful gaze, and there was a burst of conscience reproach in his heart, Saber frowned and sighed, "Although I don't tell Sù Cheji about the matter, it is a little revengeful." But on the contrary, the reason why I didn't tell you the details is that I wanted you to enjoy the life of the outside world happily for a while, as before, and then I gave you a surprise, but this consideration has become the source of your uneasiness. I sincerely apologize for this. ”

With a sincere apology, Saber bowed his head deeply.

"No, don't apologize, Saber! That's not what I meant!" Seeing that she was just trying to clarify the doubtful question, but in exchange for such a strict apology, Alice Fell panicked all of a sudden, "Well, in fact, I just want to make things clear." If it's not convenient, you can actually do it too."

"No, Alice Phil, I appreciate your kindness. Originally, this was not something that could not be said, but I didn't want to sue Sù Kiritsui anyway. If it's you, it doesn't matter, but that being said, I should start there" Raising his head to meet Alice Phil's gaze, Saber's gaze gradually turned into the distance, "Anyway, let's start with the direction of this Holy Grail War"
