In the days since arriving in Fuyuki City, Naraku has repeated every day that she has spent half a day playing with Illya, and half a day going out shopping when Illya has stopped functioning, just to go out and find food.

"Nana, Brother Naraku, let's go out and play." After dinner, Illya tugged at Naraku's sleeve as usual.

"Yes, yes." Standing up, just like she did with Viviou, Naraku looked at Illya with helpless and doting eyes, "Let's go, Master." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Good evening, big brother, this is the second time we have met like this." Elijah said with a smile, her innocence and creepy.

"It's you, you've become a Heroic Spirit?" The first to break the silence was Saber, who killed Lancelot as soon as he appeared ten years ago, so Saber couldn't even be impressed by Naraku.

"Yo, Saber, there's a slight reason here." Naraku said with a smile.

"Saber, you know each other?" At this time, Shirou asked Saber.

"Hmm!" After that, Saber stopped talking.

"Oh no, that guy isn't something Saber can handle now." Obviously, the other party did not exude any strong momentum, but Rin instinctively sensed the danger and said to Shirou.

At this time, Illya made a ladylike salute to Rin again: "First meeting, Rin, I'm Ilia, Illya Sophie von Einzberen, so you understand!" ”

"You don't have to say hello." Illia laughed, "You're going to die here anyway, go on, Berserker!" ”

"Yes, yes."

Removing the amethyst hanging from his neck, a pitch-black halberd appeared in his hand after emitting a burst of golden flashes.

"It's time to work, Eclipse."

“Yes，Master。”

"Then ......" pointed the halberd in his hand at Saber, and the corners of Naraku's mouth hooked, "It's going to be on!" ”

In an instant, the two of them faced each other, and the halberd and the invisible sword collided fiercely, and the shock wave caused by the sudden burst of magic power caused the ground to collapse, and the atmosphere screamed.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The battle had already started for a few minutes, but for Saber, it felt like years.

For her, killing on the battlefield is as commonplace as everyday, and as a warrior who lives and dies on the battlefield, fighting enemies is as skilled as using a knife and fork.

However, it was suppressed...... Although it does not correspond to the humility of the knight, Saber still wants to fight like this, even with the unparalleled skills he has cultivated in ten years of fighting horses and twelve battles, and with a sense of pride in his intuition, he still -

[One shoulder, two arms, three legs!] Saber quickly knew that his current situation was not serious, and it would not affect the battle, and after making a conclusion, Saber immediately raised the invisible sword in his hand to block one of the opponent's thrusts.

On the other hand, Naraku didn't even have a single scar on his body.

Is the gap between white-knuckle battles really so far?

But Saber, who knew that now was not the time to think about this, immediately retracted his thoughts and slashed at Naraku.

"Is that all there is to it? Yes! ”

Naraku shouted excitedly, and with a wave of the halberd in his hand, he replaced the defense with offense, deflecting the invisible attack, and then immediately connected to a horizontal slash.

Saber seemed to know that the other party was attacking, a short body, taking advantage of the height difference between the two sides, raised the invisible sword diagonally, and blocked Naraku's halberd, and then immediately got up and bounced off the halberd, bullying Naraku and slashing at him, but he was also pushed away by Naraku's blow.

Strong.

Enemy.

It's really strong.

Purely from a combat point of view, the opponent is stronger than himself.

This was understood as early as when Naraku killed the "perfect knight" who had mastered "infinite martial arts" with his overwhelming strength.

"Bang!"

Because of the thought of that former companion, Saber, who was distracted for a moment, was knocked away by Naraku.

Saber shook his head, buried the regret deep in his heart, gathered those irrelevant thoughts and stood up, then looked at Naraku, and said while guarding, "Sorry, Naraku, let's continue." ”

"You have to be distracted, and then you die in battle, that's your own business, you don't need to apologize." Naraku danced the halberd in his hand and said, "This time it's your fate, next time I seize the opportunity, I will definitely kill you!" ”

“！”

Saber charged at Naraku before he could finish speaking, slashing at Naraku with a sword.

Although Saber seized the opportunity to relax slightly because of that conversation, he didn't really care about Naraku at all, and stuck the halberd in his hand on the ground, using the halberd to make an inverted pose, and Saber's top-down slash was comparable to brushing the ends of Naraku's hair.

Seeing this, Saber also immediately turned his wrist and slashed his backhand at Naraku's left hand holding the halberd, and Naraku did not hesitate to press the halberd hard and make a backward flip at the same time, the halberd popped out because of the force, and Naraku kicked the halberd tail, and the halberd blade hit Saber directly in the face.

Saber's head tilted slightly, avoiding the halberd blade, but the sword in his hand kept stabbing at Naraku, who had just landed and had no time to react.

But......

The invisible sword was tightly sandwiched between Naraku's hands - empty-handed into the white blade.

"Let go!"

Hearing this, Saber subconsciously pulled the sword in his hand tightly, but he couldn't pull it out, and then he felt the wind coming from the left, and he only had time to raise his left arm and subconsciously make a protective movement, and flew out.

After rolling on the ground a few times, Saber felt a darkness in front of her as soon as she looked up - Naraku followed Saber and pinned her to the ground with a halberd piercing Saber's abdomen before she could get up.

“Saber！” Shirou, who didn't have time to react to everything, could only let out an exclamation.

Naraori ignored the screams, gripped the halberd and pulled it out, then immediately stabbed Saber in the head.

"StrikeAir!" Saber could only raise the sword in his hand slightly, freeing the Noble Phantasm.

A violent wind erupted between the two, and one didn't pay attention, and Naraku was blown away by the blow.

Forcefully stabbing the halberd into the ground, Naraku stabilized his body, and then looked at Saber who was holding his abdomen and waiting, and irrepressibly thought of teasing her, so he spoke: "Your swordsmanship is so bad, it shouldn't be Saber, but Rider, right?" ”

Saber raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "My rank is Saber." ”

Naraku pretended to be surprised: "Impossible, how can Saber be so bad at swordsmanship." ”

As soon as these words came out, Saber suddenly released a majestic momentum: "Are you fooling me?" Berserker！ ”

"You're Berserker!" Naraku lied without blushing or panting, "Have you ever seen a Berserker who keeps his senses?" ”

"Woo......"

As Naraku said, the biggest characteristic of the Berserker is the madness of losing his mind in exchange for power, and the Servant in front of him does not look like he has lost his mind in the slightest, and it is indeed unlikely to be Berserker.

"Then your master just ........."

"A child's slip of the tongue." Ignoring Illya behind her, "I'm not a child!" Naraku said casually.

"Even if you are not a Berserker, I am indeed a Saber." Saber gave up trying to figure out if Naraku was Berserker and straightened his stance.

[It doesn't seem to be as interesting as I imagined.,Woo,It's still Lancer's reaction that's more fun.] 】

Thinking that Lancer would definitely make him turn into a Berserker, Naro set up the halberd in his hand: "So, let's show you the real swordsmanship, Eclipse, and transform into the first mode." ”
