Chapter 109: Loving Father

"Well, Kiritsugu actually left at this time, if he just came back, and he still cooked his portion, isn't it a waste?"

Illya's expression was a little depressed, her eyes moved to the dining table, and she asked Saber, "That, Saber, if you don't mind......"

I've heard Rin say that the Heroic Spirit doesn't need to eat or something like that, so it seems that it's still difficult for a strong man?

"Don't mind anything, it's an honor for me, because I have been on the battlefield in my previous life, and I have little time to enjoy food, and just being able to taste Master's delicious food is already an honor for me. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Although it is said that the Heroic Spirit does not need to eat, it does not mean that eating will cause adverse effects, and there are always exceptions.

Because of the physical strength and magic consumed by fighting enemies on the battlefield and fighting monsters in the past, the knights need a lot of energy. Now that you become a Heroic Spirit, you don't need to eat to maintain your strength, but the idea that you can't waste food in the slightest is still engraved in your body.

Moreover, this bit of weight, for the Saber of the past, will not take a moment to wipe out.

As Saber quickly and politely ate the food, Illya looked at him and asked, "By the way, that's it...... Saber: Do you hate my father? ”

Seeing Illya's unconcealed nervousness, Saber tried her best to relax her expression and smile, never letting her perceive her relationship with Kiritsugu.

She had vowed to protect her mother, Alice Phil, but that was the only way she could get it. Therefore, Illya, whom Alice Fell cherished at that time, Saber was also determined to protect to the end.

Both Kiritsugu and Saber are subconsciously avoiding the past, if they can't let Illya notice......

"No, as a father, of course my daughter will be very nervous when she is with other men of unknown origin, especially such a beautiful daughter like Her Royal Highness the Princess. I know how he feels, because I'm also a father with a daughter. ”

In fact, as Saber said, Illya is a highly anticipated presence here.

Her mother's pottery-like white and transparent skin, silver hair, and free-spirited personality are enough to make everyone look forward to it.

"Well, Saber is really ......" Facing the sincere Saber, Illya seemed to turn her face to the side a little shyly, this usually serious heroic spirit is said to be blunt in praise of women's appearance, but Illya suddenly reacted again.

"Huh?! No way! Saber: Do you have a daughter? Looks so young! ”

"This ......"

looked at Illya, who didn't show the tension of facing the war, and showed a simple expression that matched her age. Saber smiled softly, unexpectedly doting, and his thoughts flew back to his distant homeland.

"Ah, it's really a headache for a daughter, that child usually eats a lot, but he doesn't grow tall, and often complains that his breasts are not big or something. And when I was 15 years old, I didn't sleep with me, and it was a bit of a blow at the time. ”

"That's what a father would say, right!? Besides, if you are 15 years old, you are already a high school student! ”

When I was 10 years old, I stopped sleeping with Kiritsugu!

"High school students? At my age, I'm just a student, but at my time, it was time to get married. However, if you let your daughter sleep alone, how can you rest assured as a father? ”

There was a hint of regret in Saber's eyes. Looking at the face that was still a teenager, Illya really couldn't believe that this was a person with a daughter over 15 years old, but when she noticed this, Illya also understood something.

(That's the case...... Saber must be, desperately want to get the Holy Grail, he has a family, his subordinates...... )

Such a dazzling person is like a prince in a fairy tale, or a "certain being" that is even more noble. But at the same time, what they carry is also unimaginably heavy.

(Can I really help him by making me his master?) )

As soon as I thought about it, I began to feel uneasy, after all, Illya herself was just an ordinary and ordinary person.

"You're going to be bothered, aren't you...... Saber, after all, the owner is like me......"

"What?"

"Because, in this Holy Grail War, I'm dragging my feet, and I still need you and Shirou to save me or something, and I can't support Rin like Rin, and I can't fight in person like Darius of Berserker."

It's like looking up at a bird flying in the air and a bug crawling on the earth. Even without the experience of this kind of magician struggle, Illya can understand the difference between herself and the other masters.

"Illya, my Master, that thought, is superfluous."

"Huh?"

Looking at Illya with a serious expression, Saber said, "It's not that I don't know what it's like to be defeated, and it's because of my past failures that I became a servant like this. I understand the feeling of powerlessness and the endless remorse for my mistakes, but you shouldn't think so, because you're a good master, and I can assure you that if I'm going to lose this Holy Grail War, it's because I'm weak. ”

The words that are sparkling and full of chivalry should be recognized if they were ordinary.

However, I always feel that there is an indescribable gray cloud swirling in my chest. I can't help but look away, why. It's because Saber is so upright that it's too dazzling. Or is it because you feel something else?

Illya didn't understand. Why do you "feel uneasy" in front of such a dazzling person?

“…… Well! I'll try, Saber, and I'm sure you'll get the Holy Grail. ”

So what kind of determination Saber is having, Illya has not yet realized at this time.

But for Illya, Saber is the perfect person now, no, a heroic spirit. The partners who want to fight together in this Holy Grail War are also the heroes who have saved Illya several times.

Coupled with the fatherly impression now, all Illya can think of is that Saber must have been a hero who was loved by everyone and was as upright as a knight.
