Chapter 5: Lancer
It was late at night, and only the three of Regulus walked slowly on the silent path. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The north wind blew directly across the sea without any shelter, blowing Alice Phil's long silver hair, which danced like a meteor's tail. In winter, because of the sea breeze, even couples who are dating are reluctant to approach.
And Alice Phil, who saw the sea for the first time, didn't care because she was already used to the cold.
"Here, you should come at dawn." There was only icy darkness in the sea. Saber looked at the sea like this and said apologetically.
"No, the sea at night is beautiful. It's like a mirror of the night sky. Alice Phil, gazing at the horizon, replied immediately.
Alice Fell listened to the sound of the heavy waves, and gradually showed a smile on her face.
Perhaps because she had a good day, a faint flush appeared on her snow-white cheeks. Looking at her like this, no one would have thought that she was already married and had children. Her smile was so innocent, as if she was still a teenage girl.
"It turns out that it is such a joy to walk with a knight in a strange city."
"I wonder if I'm a good poster or not?"
For Alice Phil's joke, Saber, a heroic spirit who does not smile, actually said such teasing words.
"Qualified, and flawless. Saber, today you are the most perfect knight in the world. ”
"It's my pleasure. Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Facing the girl in black with sincere words, Alice Phil seemed to turn her face to the sea a little shyly.
"Saber, do you like the sea?"
"This ・・・・・・・・"
Saber smiled wryly. But his thoughts flew back to his distant homeland.
"In my time. My Country...... On the other side of the sea was a gathering place for invaders・・・・・・・・ so all I could think of were unpleasant memories. ”
"Well・・・・・・・ what about Regulus?" Feeling that the question was a bit heavy, Alice Phil looked at Regulus, who had been silent, and asked.
"The sea・・・・・・・・ it reminds me of Poseidon・・・・・・・・・" Regulus looked at the dark sea with a complicated expression.
"Poseidon・・・・・・・ the Emperor of the Sea, isn't he the same Greek god as your god Athena?" Alice Fell asked with some curiosity.
"It's jihad! In order to protect the earth that the great god Zeusto paid her, Lord Athena started a holy war with Hades and Poseidon, and in order to prevent Poseidon and Hades from cooperating, my comrade-in-arms, the golden saint of Aquarius, Destier, froze Atlantis and Poseidon's carrier at the cost of his life at the bottom of the sea! As soon as Regulus finished speaking, the atmosphere on the scene became more solemn.
"But it was Poseidon, not the sea, that made my comrades die! The beautiful sea has been called 'the origin of life' and 'the place of chasing dreams' since ancient times, and it is wrong to hate the sea just because of the death of a comrade-in-arms! Regulus smiled as he looked at the sea in the night light, and the eighth feeling made him feel like the sea was like a child of his, a part of his body.
"That's right・・・・・・・・," Saber mused, as the atmosphere eased for a moment as Regulus' words eased.
Suddenly, Saber grabbed Alice Phil's arms and pulled her closer to him, and Regulus frowned.
Alice Phil's calm gaze met Saber's in an instant.
"・・・・・・・・ enemy servant?"
"Yes."
That's right, in the shadows at a distance of about a hundred meters horizontally, the enemy provocatively and deliberately exposed his own aura. And knowing that his aura had been sensed by Saber (with the strength of the lancer, it was impossible to perceive Regulus's perception), the other party did not approach but gradually moved away.
"Looks like he's trying to lure us through."
"Well, it's really personable・・・・・・・・ do you want us to choose the battlefield?"
"It should be so, presumably the other party is also a knight! Is it Rider or Lancer? ”
Alice Phil's voice was still as calm as it was. And this peace is also proof that she fully trusts Saber and Regulus. Saber was once again silently glad that he had met a good master, while Regulus was unimpressed.
"It seems that the other side thinks the same as us, and wants to lead us to take the initiative. Saber and GoldSaints, it seems that the other party is also like you, and they are servants who like to face each other head-to-head. ”
"Well, it's not in vain that I'll be his opponent."
Saber nodded and muttered to herself, and Alice Fell smiled at her with a bold smile.
"Then treat him well."
"As you wish."
If the other party wants to introduce itself into an area that is beneficial to it, it is still dangerous to rush forward. But based on Saber's strength, she didn't have to worry about that at all. Her master is fully aware of the strength of her servant, and Regulus is too strong to kill any servant in an instant.
Saber walked in the direction of the enemy, his steps relaxed and confident.
Alice Phil and Regulus followed behind her as Alice Phil pressed the button of the device hidden in her pocket. This is the transmitter that Kiritsugu gave her, and it is said that it can be used to tell Kiritsugu where he is. Kiritsugu is very fond of using this kind of mechanical prop that has no magical powers.
Alice Phil believes in the power of Saber. Hopefully, this time the enemy will be far below Saber's, and then easily defeated by the servant she is proud of. Alice Phil was looking forward to such a fight.
Yes, if possible...... She wanted to see the knights decide the winner the moment Kiritsugu intervened in the battle.
However, Regulus must not intervene! He's so strong that there's no suspense at all in this battle! Alice Fell had some resentment in her heart.
Huh・・・・・・・・
Regulus could only smile bitterly in his heart, for the Saint Seiya who has the ability to read minds (you can check the basic ability of the sixth sense), Alice Phil's thoughts are very clear.
