Chapter 2 To each his own heart

At this time, the castle of Einzberen was covered in snow and ice, and as far as the eye could see, it was a white sight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThree people with hair colors similar to snow and ice, each and their companions carry out different activities, bringing the only vitality to the lonely castle.

One is a young girl with white hair and red eyes. As the snow drifted away, she was holding her father's hand and jumping up and down the walnut grove outside the castle, her eyes fixed on every seemingly bare branch, as if searching for something.

"Very good, I will definitely not lose today!" The little girl declared confidently.

"Oh, found it, the first one of the day." Completely ignoring his daughter's provocation, the middle-aged man interrupted her declaration with practical results slightly smug.

"Liar! Where, where? I obviously didn't miss it! The girl hurriedly stopped her advance, trotted behind her father, and searched carefully.

"Hmph-hmph-hmph," teasing his daughter with an increasingly smug smile, the middle-aged man pointed to the small branch above his head, and what caught his eye was a winter bud of the walnut tree, "Score first!" Keep up the good work! ”

The smug smile of her father infuriated the girl, and she took a few steps and ran away, away from her father to find it herself. "People won't admit defeat! I won't throw in the towel today! With such unconvincing shouts, the competition between the girl and her father to "find walnut winter buds" began again. Looking at his daughter who was full of interest, the corners of the middle-aged father's mouth curved into a strange arc of a wry smile and a sinister smile.

"Ah, there you have it, Illya has found one too!" Soon, a girl named Illya was the first to attack.

However, the middle-aged father calmly answered: "Hmph, Dad has also found a second one... ”

It was obviously a close contest, but Illya was the first to mess up. "Where? Where is it? "This time, it's impossible for me to miss it?

A finger pointed at the so-called target, and the curvature of the corner of the man's mouth subtly expanded, but he couldn't help but make no sound, but the girl who was obsessed with winning and losing didn't notice it.

"Huh?" Two question marks climbed up Illya's head, "The branches... Not walnuts? ”

"No, no, Illya." The middle-aged man shook his fingers, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth widened more and more, "That branch is Ze Hu Tao, and it is Hu Tao's partner." Therefore, it is also counted as the winter buds of walnuts. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚β€ After three seconds of silence, Illya, who reacted, found the smile on the corner of her father's mouth, she rushed over angrily, hugged her father's legs fiercely and beat them, "Rippy! Lai Pi Lai Pi Lai Pi! Kiritsugu has always been in Raipi! ”

Thinking about it this way, the reason why the man named Kiritsugu has repeatedly won in the previous competitions is intriguing.

"But, otherwise, Dad has no hope of winning at all... Smiling wryly, she pushed her daughter's small body away to tell her to stop being violent on her legs, and Kiritsugu tried to defend herself.

"This won't work!!" Breaking free of her father's hands, Illya once again targeted her father's knee, her small fist enveloping the area, "The walnut that only Kiritsugu knows doesn't count!" ”

"Hahaha, but Illya," touching the little head of her daughter, who had lost her temper on her knee, Kiritsugu took the opportunity to change the subject, "another lesson, wasn't it?" The fruit of the walnut and the walnut are different and should not be eaten. Keep this in mind! ”

Unfortunately, Kiritsugu's strategy to change the subject was completely ineffective, Illya raised her head, grinned "woo", and made a grimace, while her daughter's muttering reached her father's ears: "If I keep playing like this, Illya will never play with Kiritsugu again!" ”

"It's nerve-wracking... Kiritsugu reluctantly surrendered, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm surrendering." ”

"Promise not to cheat again?" Illya raised her red eyes full of distrust and stared at her father.

"I promise, I promise." Being distrusted by his daughter like this, Kiritsugu also felt a little guilty in his heart, "It's not Ze Hutao anymore." ”

"But there's still the wild walnut trick... The middle-aged father thought like this, and the only remaining guilt immediately disappeared, and he was really unrepentant.

"Very well, then, let's start the game again!" As she spoke, Illya tugged at her father's sleeve and motioned for him to be her mount, "The champion will accept the challenge at any time, huh?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's an honor, my eldest lady." Kiritsugu stretched out his hands, and his powerful arms lifted Illya up easily and placed it around his neck.

"Hahahaha! It's so high! It's so high! ”

The white-haired girl's laughter resounded through the snowy fields, as if the larks of spring had woken up in advance, bringing infinite vitality to the winter days. However, the middle-aged father under the girl, Kiritsugu, although he should also laugh with his daughter, the haze on his face casts a layer of gray for the future.

The second is an elegant woman with flowing white hair. "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT, SABER?" At this time, she was in the castle looking at the blonde girl standing by the window with a smile in her eyes, and she was also one of the servants they had summoned in this war.

KING ARTHUR, SABER. At this moment, she stood silently by the window, looking at the frolicking father and daughter, and the surprise in her eyes could not fade away for a long time.

"That side of Kiritsugu surprised you, didn't you?"

"To be honest," replied the blonde girl, "I have a colder impression of my master. ”

"Yes," the white-haired woman smiled wryly, "this is also... There's no way around it. ”

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and the woman named Alice Fell understood the silence between the master and the slave. THE KNIGHTLY SABER WAS ALMOST INSTINCTIVELY DISGUSTED WHEN HE LEARNED ABOUT HIS MASTER'S STYLE AND BAD PAST. And the practical Kiritsugu also sighed after learning the nature of the first SABER for his own use, and the second summoned servant seemed to be just a joke - except for luck, all the parameters are E guys, what can he do?

Then there was another unnutritious conversation. AFTER THAT, ALICE PHIL FINALLY COULDN'T HELP BUT BREAK STABER'S HEART: "SORRY. I wondered, are you still minding when you are called? ”

"A little... WAS EXPOSED TO THE SECRET, SABER ALSO TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLAIN, "I'M USED TO MY POSTURE BEING DIFFERENT FROM WHAT EVERYONE IMAGINED, BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE TWO PEOPLE TO BE SURPRISED TO THAT EXTENT... I am indeed pretending to be a man, and it is my intention not to find out the lie and keep it in the world... But to be honest, I would be upset if it was obvious from the beginning that I suspected that the owner of the scabbard was not me, but the male servant. ”

Looking at the girl in front of her, who looked definitely no more than 16 years old, Alice Fell couldn't help but pout. Who would have thought that the legend of King Arthur, which has been passed down through the ages, has the protagonist of a childish girl?

"It's a little bigger... The white-haired woman muttered quietly.

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Alas. No amount of talk about looks will help. LOOKING AT HER HELPLESSLY, SABER DECIDED NOT TO DWELL ON THE TOPIC ANYMORE, "THE MOMENT I PULLED UP, I WAS CAST THE MAGIC OF IMMORTALITY, AND MY APPEARANCE AND AGE STOPPED, AND BESIDES, MY SUBJECTS DID NOT HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT MY APPEARANCE. I'm just doing my duty as a king. ”

"No... SUDDENLY, SOMETHING CAME TO MIND, AND SABER'S VOICE BEGAN TO BE FULL OF DRYNESS, "CUT HIM. Is it because I'm a woman that I look down on me? Think I'm not worthy of a sword? ”

"Of course there is no such thing, he probably is..." There was also a hint of impatience in Alice Field's voice. If this point is not clarified, the master-slave relationship will not be maintained, "I'm angry." ”

"Angry?" The blonde knight was slightly stunned, "I provoked him... ”

"It's not." INTERRUPTING SABER'S THOUGHTS, ALICE FELL FIRMLY DENIED HER, "IT'S THE LEGEND OF KING ARTHUR THAT MAKES HIM ANGRY."

"The cruel people put the blame of the 'king' on a little girl.

And the girl carried it without complaint and accepted the fate of the 'king'.

"Think of it this way... Alice Fell smiled wryly and said, "Maybe that's what makes you angry, right?" β€œ

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ Fifth wheel... Sad ... The blond-haired servant's green eyes flickered for a moment, and then became more determined, "He... No matter how you say it, you shouldn't talk about people in my time, including me, right? ”

"That's why he's silent." ALTHOUGH THE TONE WAS STILL HELPLESS, ALICE FEL'S TENSE FACE WAS A LITTLE RELAXED, ALTHOUGH KIRITSUGU AND SABER COULD NOT UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER, BUT AT LEAST, AFTER A LITTLE UNRAVELING THE GIRL'S HEART KNOT, THE MASTER AND SLAVE HAD NO REASON TO TURN AGAINST EACH OTHER.

"Even if you talk to each other, it's just mutual negation." The blonde girl's words resonated with the thoughts in the heart of the white-haired beauty.

"So... Another Servant's Problem ... "SABER HAS A REASON WHY SHE MUST GET THE GRAIL, SO SHE HAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED THE NECESSARY VIGILANCE AND HOSTILITY TOWARDS THE OTHER SERVANT.

"That one..." Thinking of the red-robed young man, Alice Phil couldn't help but feel distressed, "Due to the lack of combat power, he will definitely not be able to take on the task of frontal combat, and besides, he also seems to hate some of Kiritsu's methods... ”

"Srein Treyette, right?" REPEATING THE NAME, SABER FELT LIKE SHE HAD A SENSE OF BEING UNTRACEABLE ... Feelings of disgust.

"So this time, according to the plan we agreed on before, I will serve as your acting master and fight with you head-on." Thinking that the master and slave had to make such a division of labor because of the disagreement of ideas, Alice Field's brows also frowned slightly, "And he... Kiritsugu ordered him to be in the shadows... Wait for the opportunity to move. ”

"Waiting for an opportunity?"

"Yes." Both of them understood that with such a weak ability value, how much effect could the white-haired heroic spirit play? Such an order does not intend to leave him to fend for himself, or to treat him as an outcast.

The blonde hero and the white-haired woman's object of concern are now caught in the whirlpool of memory.

Third, he is a tall and thin teenager. Sitting quietly at the top of the castle, the boy whose real name is Emia finally saw his dearest sister again after more than ten years - although she has not grown up yet, the name Illyasfil will not be easily forgotten by the boy. However, it's only 1990 now, and my sister is 8 years old at this time, so 26 years later, in 2016, my sister's age...

"I always feel like I know some great secret!" Emia smiled bitterly, and then looked at the body formed by the illusion.

"It's really... Looking at her current body, which was a little thin among her peers, Emia was very helpless. The appearance of the young man is just a magic trick of the illusion system, but the reshaped body does not use magic very high is a very serious problem, but fortunately, its adaptability to ghost energy is still very strong. It is naturally impossible for the Imperial Guard Palace Kiritsugu to provide him with ghost energy, so he can do it himself in order to have enough food and clothing. All of the magic from the Master was converted into ghost energy by Emia in a ratio of almost four to one, stored in the ruby star in the heart.

After a day of conditioning, Emia finally figured out her situation. First of all, it's 1990, 26 years before that day. When she came to this world and appeared in that magic array, Emia was stuffed with a cloud of information in her mind. As a servant, all you have to do is help your master win a special war, and the winner will get something like a wishing machine, which can fulfill a wish.

Seeing the word war, Emia, who had just experienced a world war, suddenly lost interest, it was just a battle of more than a dozen people, how could it be called war? It's just that the wishing machine seems to be a good way to get back to Jean, and for this reason, Emia didn't immediately choose to break off the relationship with the master.

"I'm still waiting for Aceran to wake up, and the promise with Ina Fan hasn't been fulfilled. I can't stay in this world for long! ”

Speaking of her master, Emia's brow furrowed again and again. According to his own understanding, this man, known as the magician killer, can do whatever it takes for his goals and to save most people. It's almost the same as my naΓ―ve idea that everyone should be saved. The key is the methods of his actions, assassinations, terrorist attacks, which make Amia, who has experienced many plots, alienate her lord in her heart. And the master happened to be dissatisfied with his current poor physical fitness. When they didn't like each other, the outspoken Emia took the initiative to take over the task of support, or rather, the task of outcasting.

At least not to act with him.

"Anyway, there's that little sister with blond hair who is leading the way." When she first saw that the so-called King Arthur was a little sister, Amia's three views were greatly shocked. And when she saw her face clearly, Emia, who had infiltrated the interior of the Van See, could no longer keep her calm.

"Artoria Pendragon? Pendragon I? These two ... Isn't it the same person??? The first person Pope is the Heroic Spirit of this world!! That... Could it be said? Emia's curiosity about the Vatican grew stronger. But that won't have to happen until he gets back.

"Now, concentrate on dealing with this so-called 'war'!" Jumping off the castle, grabbing the window edge halfway through, and returning to her room as soon as she rolled over, Emia decided not to think about the irritating things anymore.

"War? I'll tell you, what is war! ”
