The warm afternoon sun softly shone on the exterior walls of the old temple rooms, and the sun slowly set over the blue sky.

The air in the room was just as cool and quiet, with only a small glimmer of light shining in from the small skylight, which shrouded the room in the dim darkness of the setting sun.

It's almost evening.

Glancing at the view outside the window, Saber, who was kneeling on the carpet, got up from the room, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

The Holy Grail is about to arrive, and the almighty wishing machine is within reach.

Longing, anticipation, excitement, trepidation, hesitation......

Her thoughts were churning, her mood couldn't calm down for a long time, and Artoria couldn't understand what was wrong with her.

She was supposed to have nothing but pure joy.

It is undeniable that the Einzberen family, which currently has two servants, has the absolute upper hand, not only holding the Little Holy Grail, but also setting up a magic workshop in Liudong Temple, and there is a high probability of finally getting the Holy Grail.

But after coming to this era, the scenes of experience quickly flashed through Artoria's mind.

Warehouse Street, Jian Tong House, Abandoned Factory, King's Banquet...... She seems to have been led by the nose, calculated many times, and failed to win several battles.

Saber also realizes that she doesn't play well, and her relationship with the Master is also poor, and she is passive every time.

On the other hand, her teammate, the one who still seems unfathomable to Caster.

From the moment Hassan's existence was exposed on Warehouse Street, he designed the melee of the Kirisu Mansion and teamed up with Kiritsugu to kill Lancer...... He seems to have been dominating the rhythm of the Holy Grail Wars.

For the strategy and force shown by Wuming, she has some admiration, but also a little unconvinced.

Pushing open the door, Saber, dressed in a dress, glanced at the sun on the horizon and entered the temple courtyard.

She got rid of distractions, stopped thinking nonsense, wandered around, and found someone under a tree.

Wu Ming sat casually on the grass, with his back against a big tree, his arms resting on the back of his head, as if he was resting.

Saber thought that the other party was just closing his eyes to recuperate, but when he walked in, he found that he was really asleep.

When has it been, he is still so careless.

The Dull Hair King was quite speechless in his heart, and after retracting his skirt, he sat on the grass, his beautiful eyes staring at his face.

He breathes evenly and has a leisurely expression on his face.

Wu Ming, who fell asleep, gave people a very ordinary feeling, and his temperament was gentle, like the big boy next door.

His appearance and temperament did not look like a magician at all, nor did he look like a knight or a swordsman.

It gave her the feeling of ordinary young people in the rural towns she met when she lived on the farm.

Saber sighed, looking at him with a complicated gaze.

Sometimes Wuming gives her the feeling of facing her brother Kai, her mouth is very poisonous, but she is also very good at taking care of people and is very reliable. Sometimes he gave her a temperament similar to Merlin's, casual and free, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.

At some point, Wuming will give her a feeling that is very similar to herself, or the opposite of her.

It's contradictory.

Maybe he didn't even realize it, his personality is complex and changeable, full of compromises with the world, but also hidden with amazing resilience and edge.

Such a heroic spirit, the past experience must be very complicated.

She was still a little curious in her heart, but when she thought that Wuming had lost even her ideals and name, she also knew that it would definitely not be a very pleasant experience.

So Saber didn't dig deeper, didn't ask questions, because it might be revealing his scars, just like she didn't want to tell her story to others......

The dreamlike beauty shattered, and consciousness returned.

When Wren opened his eyes, he was greeted by the mottled old walls, the fiery sunset, and Saber in a long sky-blue dress on the grass beside him.

It's like a world away.

Looking at the familiar girl in front of him, the corners of Wren's mouth curled slightly, and after listening to Merlin's nagging for a few days, he even had a sense of affection for her,

"When I wake up, I can see a beautiful girl, and I'm lucky. Girl, how long have you been staring at me like this? ”

Wren yawned and said in a lazy tone.

Saber retracted his gaze and said naturally, "About half an hour, I saw you resting once." ”

I don't know why, I just watched him quietly for a long time.

"Are you fascinated by my handsome appearance? It doesn't matter, if you confess to me, I'm not as hypocritical as someone, and I accepted it on the spot. ”

The Dull Fur King snorted lightly when he heard this, getting used to his nonsense, and left it behind without thinking much about his words.

She turned her head directly and warned, "If you don't want to be slashed by me, don't be so open-mouthed." ”

"Aha, someone looks like Karen Reinhardt's defeated men. I actually want to ask her, as a famous knight king, how did she feel when she was defeated by an unknown knight? ”

Wren showed a funny expression and couldn't help but complain.

He could feel that after defeating her last time, the highly competitive Dull-haired King was quite unconvinced and always wanted to get back on the field.

Damn it!

Saber's face suddenly darkened, the first fiasco in her life, and the loss of a knight, she was naturally angry.

Subconsciously clenched his little fists, flames ignited in his green pupils, and Saber said coldly: "Wuming, less proud, if we have a chance, we will duel again!" ”

"Mad Woman...... Ahem, girl, I rarely do anything to destroy flowers, and I still feel a little guilty about cutting you like that last time. ”

Oops, he said the wrong thing again, Wren was shocked, and quickly waved his hand, looking like a coaxing little girl.

Mad woman, this is the second time.

Saber gritted his silver teeth and trembled with anger, coupled with a flat chest, short legs, counterfeit bills, and the fiasco not long ago...... She hasn't forgotten any of these things!

This guy is so hateful, no one has ever said that about her before...... Do you really think she has no temper?!

Resisting the urge to draw his sword and cut people, the Dull Mao King glared at him with fierce eyes: "Wuming!" Did You Know? I really want to beat you up!! ”

"Tsk, you know what? I like it when people look at me upset, but they don't have anything to do with me. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Wren looked very inflated.

"Wuming, you...... You try it again?! ”

Anger was about to drown out his senses, and Saber surged through his body with a rush of magic, looking at him murderously.

"Ah, that's fine, girl, please keep up this state of wanting to cut someone into eight pieces! Your preoccupied and hesitant state just now is not very good. ”

Wren said lightly, projected a recliner and lay down directly, and threw another chair to her.

He wasn't so bored to deliberately her off.

Distraction, anxiety, hesitation...... The Holy Grail is about to come, and the Dumb Hair King's mentality is out of balance, and this time because of his presence, she is obviously more affected.

Saber was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, she realized that she was indeed out of shape.

She sat in her chair, still staring at him with unkind eyes:

"Hmph, thank you for the reminder, but I still feel very angry, and I'll settle accounts with you in the future!"

Having been bullied by him many times in the past few days, Saber was holding back a wave of anger and unwillingness in her heart, and she always had the urge to press him to the ground and rub him.

If you don't beat him, you won't be able to calm down!

"Women are really stingy, a few words of truth... Ahem, it's just a slip of the tongue, remember it for so long. Wren pursed her lips, realizing that she was still angry about what had happened.

Saber couldn't remember how many times she had been provoked by him, and she looked at Wuming angrily with a tense face:

"Do you have to quarrel with me?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I apologize to the beautiful Knight King." Such a terrible look, perceiving that she might go crazy, Wren didn't dare to stimulate her anymore,

Just bully her every day, you can't bully all the time.

After talking to Merlin, he already knew the temper and character of the Dull Hair King very well, and he could judge her state in just a few words.

"If your tone is a little more sincere, I may forgive you." Saber pouted, feeling a little tired of her ally.

Her affection for Wuming is as strong as her dislike. There are times when I like and appreciate him, and there are also places where I hate and dislike him very much.

Even she herself didn't know which one was a little more, but both were impressive, and she didn't deny that the way she had been in contact and with him was unprecedented.

He wasn't her teacher, he wasn't the Knight of the Round Table, he wasn't her people, he wasn't an enemy at the moment, and he didn't even feel like a friend in general.

She didn't know how to get along with him.

As the sun set, Wren and Saber were silent for a moment at the same time.

They are always like this, no matter how long they communicate, as long as they end up in a quarrel.

"Artoria, I found that I don't have anything to talk to about with you anymore, I'm sorry I accidentally you off again."

Wren spread his hands and suddenly showed a bright smile.

After the magician of the flower told the story of the king, he had "the memory of the nameless", and with his own previous impression of her, he knew too well what she was thinking.

Seeing his sunny smile and sincere tone, Saber subconsciously looked away from staring at him.

"It's a little strange, I have a lot of things I want to say to you, but I don't think it's necessary, I always feel that you are very familiar, although it's just my one-sided feeling."

Wren continued, his tone much softer, and as soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the temple.

He couldn't bear to bully her anymore, and the longer they got along, the more so.

At the beginning, he was basically ruthless, and he was not merciless when he cut her, but now, especially after gaining the memory of "Wuming".

Once she gets angry, she subconsciously wants to apologize.

He knew that he was affected, and there was no way to do it, completely accepting a person's memories and powers, of course, would affect himself.

It's okay now, it takes some time to get used to it, and he was a little schizophrenic when he received the memories of "Wren" in the giant world before.

"Hey, Artoria, what are you doing, it's time for us to prepare dinner and help wash the dishes."

Saber watched him silently as he walked away, until the words came and her eyes lit up, and she immediately chased after him.

"Wait, I'm coming!"

Don't think about it, she won't be able to see this strange guy after the Holy Grail War is over anyway.

Or eat your fill first... It is important to replenish physical strength and energy first.

The two of them were busy in the kitchen for a while, and dinner was quickly ready.

The time is actually less than five o'clock in the afternoon, and it is a little early to have dinner, but if you don't eat now, there will be no time later.

"This may be the last meal, don't you have anything to say?"

Emiya Kiritsugu took a piece of beef with his chopsticks and asked with a flat attitude.

Saber was burying her head in the food, not paying attention to Daddy Kiri, she was ready, needless to say.

Wren glanced at Yan Ye, who was a little absent-minded: "Yan Ye, Shi Chen is dead, but you don't seem to be very happy." ”

"Uh... I should be happy, but ......" Yanye sighed, a little speechless.

Shi Chen was killed by his disciples, and it had nothing to do with them, even if Yan Feng Qili poured dirty water on Wei Gong Chehei, there was a way to clarify it afterwards.

It stands to reason that he should be happy.

But at this moment, there is only loss and bitterness in my heart, as if I have been drained of strength and lost my goal and support.

At the dining table, Yan Ye put down his chopsticks and sighed:

"I actually knew that he was better than me, and I was always jealous of him, and I was impressed that he went to rescue Sakura that night, which proves that he still cares about family affection......

If... He's not bent on pursuing some ethereal roots, he should be a good man......"

Yanye said a lot and did not hide her emotions and thoughts.

The inferiority complex in my heart, jealousy of Shichen, my undead heart for Aoi Tosaka, and my sympathy for Sakura...... Among them, there is the kindness of ordinary people, the dark thoughts of longing for the death of the rival in love, the sense of justice to save people, the weakness of the heart with impure motives, and the anger that arises from Sakura's tragic fate......

He completely revealed the emotions and mentality of an ordinary person who was robbed of his childhood sweetheart by the "rich and handsome" out of all kinds of scruples and hesitations.

Everyone just listened silently, listening to an ordinary person tell about his love and hatred.

After a long time, the night of the Tong Yan calmed down, and while he was relieved, he only felt empty in his heart.

Saber stared at the wild goose night, as if he had something in his heart.

She admires the other party's actions to save Sakura, and her desire to kill her rival and dark thoughts about her wife make her frown again.

Wren nodded slightly, Shi Chen carried a lot of pots, but according to the virtues of the magicians in the Moon World, he and Director Ken were more humane magicians.

Of course, Shi Chen is not without black spots, he originally chatted with Yanye on the rooftop across servers, and Yanya was crazy at that time and did not say what happened to Sakura.

However, the two talked about the future of Sakura and Rin.

Wild Goose Night said that they belong to different families, and that future sisters or their descendants may kill each other for the Holy Grail.

The king of the pot, Shichen, actually said, this is just right, if you don't put your eggs in one basket, the winning rate will be even greater.

Sisterhood cannibalism is nothing.

Those who win arrive at the roots, just to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Tosaka family, and those who lose also die a glorious death, adding glory to the door.

it!

Wren was dumbfounded, what kind of mindset is this? However, Shi Chen is relatively normal among magicians.

Wren really doesn't like the magicians of the Moon World.

Some people say that Kiritsugu's father is an old and middle-aged second disease, but in fact, he is the one who can't stand the concept of a magician, and he is also a victim.

He had seen too many magicians who didn't treat ordinary people as human beings, killing and experimenting at will, which was the origin of Emiya Kiritsugu's idea of salvation.

"Jian Tong Yanye, Wuming is right, you shouldn't have come to participate in the Holy Grail War, you are completely ordinary people's mentality." Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at Yan Ye and proposed, "I think you can get out of here now." ”

He has already understood that the other party is not a saint, but he is not a wicked person.

—————

Yan Ye is like an ordinary person with a somewhat extreme personality.

The bright and dark sides of man are vividly expressed in him. Of course, like most ordinary people, there is more to the good side.

Compared with the real good guy, there are more dark and extreme places in the night, but he is not a wicked person, there is no lack of courage and kindness, and there is no need to be harsh too much.

He couldn't have a better conscience than the old bug and Shinji Makiri, who was originally crooked.

Artoria stared at Yanye, her lips moved slightly, she wanted to say something, but finally chose to shut up.

If it was before, she would have praised the other party for saving others, and then reprimanded him for his dark and dirty side.

But now, she kind of understood what Wuming said.

Human beings are not pure.

Pure good people and pure evil people are rare, most people have both, bright and good thoughts, dark and dirty thoughts, people can't avoid it.

But Saber still believes that it is more important to lead people to order and goodness than to promote cold-bloodedness, cruelty, selfishness, and darkness.

She didn't rebuke the wild goose.

With his gray hair, thin body, and one eye, this is the face of this man today.

After paying such a price, there is no need to criticize him again, and Yan Ye now understands what he is doing.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Jian Tong Yanye raised his arm and showed the two spells to the magician killer:

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you should understand. For the sake of self-interest and emotion, whether he is more kind or evil, these people's actions are controllable.

But Yanfeng Qili is different! ”

Yan Ye glanced at Wu Ming, he learned from him who Yan Feng Qili was, and then he continued to stare at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Shi Chen is dead, but I don't want to give the Holy Grail to Yan Feng Qili, because I'm not sure what his kind of person who doesn't care about good or evil, but only pursues pleasure, will do with the Holy Grail.

I'm not reckless to stay here, I still have two spells, if something happens, I can summon Wuming back to Liudong Temple in time to deal with emergencies. ”

"Yanye, you are really confident in me." Wren smiled slightly.

Saber's mouth pursed, a little dissatisfied, and she was obviously not at ease with her and didn't believe in her strength.

Emiya Kiritsugu showed a rare smile and stared at the wild goose:

"You have a bit of the master's consciousness now, but you can rest assured that you will give me the Holy Grail? Or did he want to avenge Shi Chen? ”

He didn't want to drive the geese away at night, he just hoped that he would be mentally prepared.

"Kiritsugu, at least you still care about your wife, who has normal human feelings. Feng Qili is a guy who takes pleasure in watching his relatives and friends die tragically, or even kill them with his own hands.

He's too dangerous.

Don't get me wrong, I won't be sad when Shi Chen is dead, and I'm not standing up to stop Yan Fengqili for justice.

I'm just afraid that he and the Hero King will do crazy things with the Holy Grail, and even if I leave, it will be affected, and I firmly believe that my servants are stronger! ”

Yan Ye said calmly that he had enough consciousness.

Daddy Kiritsugu nodded approvingly, and Wren grinned even more, patting Kiri's shoulder:

"Very good, worthy of being my master, your last sentence is right, now I am stronger!"

Wren understood that Yan Ye's idea was not wrong.

This time the situation was completely different, and if he and Saber were defeated, the consequences would be unpredictable.

A guy like Yan Feng Qili, he knew that after the Holy Grail was contaminated, he would definitely find a way to make the "evil of this world" born.

As for Mr. Jin, even if he hadn't bathed with black mud and washed his brain, he might not be able to stop Mapo.

At that time, the entire city of Fuyuki and even the surrounding cities may not be safe.

"Humph!" Saber pouted and snorted.

She was a little unhappy that she was always underestimated, but unfortunately she really didn't have a good record now, so she didn't refute it.

"Very well, everyone is okay now."

Emiya Kiritsugu took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, and after his wife and Maiya left, he was in the best condition.

Yanye just smiled softly, and Saber nodded.

Before, her mentality was a little unbalanced, but after all, she was a knight king who had experienced a hundred battles, and she quickly adjusted.

As for Wren, always be ready.

Everyone didn't ask him anything wrong at all, the three of them didn't have the same impression of him, but no one questioned his state and strength.

Everyone gathered around a table, looked at each other, and all showed a smile, so far, there is no need to say more.

Wren was the first to stand up, he glanced at the bloody remnant sun outside the door, and the smile on his face gradually expanded:

"Hehe, the Liudong Temple attraction is now officially open to the public! Admission is free, ready to pick up!! ”
