My name is Alayah,

Kiritsugu is dreaming.

？？ ：？？ ：？？

Legend has it that King Arthur had sun-like blonde hair, a voice more crisp and melodious than a troubadour, and emerald blue eyes.

While it is possible to imagine a beautiful man with a good demeanor, there is no problem with these descriptions being used to describe women—such as the blonde girl in a coarse cloth skirt who is walking in front of Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Hurry up~ Mr. Merlin, it's obvious that you proposed to sneak out, why are you still walking so slowly."

Judging by her voice, there was no doubt that she was Saber A. Lily, Artoria, who had been summoned by his wife and had not yet become king, had no doubt that she was dreaming at the moment.

According to the Einzberen family, as time goes on, it is possible for the Master and his summoned servants to enter each other's memories in their dreams, which is also a good opportunity to deepen the bond.

If it's the black one, it's fine, but if the white one sees his past, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.

Kiritsugu observed his surroundings, and as far as his eyes could see, there were all old buildings and streets, and the bustling arena not far away was probably the place where Artoria had just sneaked out.

However, she seems to have called out to Merlin? But there was no one else around—

"Let's go, Merlin—" At Kiritsugu's surprised gaze, the petite girl named Artoria turned around impatiently, grabbed his sleeve and walked forward, "I know you can change your appearance at will, but what's the matter with this uncle with a shaven and an old coat?" Will it be popular in the future? ”

"Where are you going?" Although there were many questions to be solved, Kiritsugu still asked the most important one at the moment.

"Draw the sword," Artoria said as she dragged Kiritsugu into the cemetery behind a church, "You said I should pull out the sword in the stone and scare the big guys who are competing, why did I forget it?" ”

"Of course, this sword was originally born for you, but they can't draw the sword and plan to decide the king through a competition, but they think that you are not qualified to participate." Kiritsugu's mind flashed through the historical record of King Arthur's life, and he substituted himself for Merlin, and finally said this.

It's supposed to be just Saber's memory, and it doesn't matter what you do, but since you're somehow able to participate in it, there's nothing wrong with giving it a try.

"[Whoever pulls up the sword in this stone is the king of England], hmm...... Can I really do it? Walking to the sword in the stone, Artoria hesitated again: "After all, I am still immature, my swordsmanship has just been able to draw with Brother Kai, and I can't ...... riding a horse at all."

She doesn't seem to have considered her biggest disadvantage as a woman...... Kiritsugu was speechless for a moment, then said in a commanding tone, "Pull it up, immediately." ”

"Yikes!" Artoria seemed to be very frightened by Kiritsugu's tone, and she pulled out her sword in the stone and assumed a defensive posture: "Don't suddenly hit me with magic again!" ”

Very good, it's the sword, that's right, Kiritsugu recognized the golden sword with a blue enamel decorated sword, and he could confirm that it was Saber· Lily's [Golden Sword of Victory] nodded slightly, ignoring why she suddenly used magic to fight Artoria for such a trivial matter.

Affected by Kiritsugu's movements, after turning her attention to the sword in the stone in her hand, Artoria froze: "That, I'm obviously not ready to ......"

After waiting for a moment and not waking up from his dream, Kiritsugu frowned.

If time passes synchronously, he has been in a defenseless state for nearly half an hour in this world, although the actual time should be midnight, and the parties are also in a state of truce, but if he can't wake up all the time, he will have to-

"Haha, congratulations, Kai." "It would be perfect if you pulled out the sword in the stone again." "Maybe the victory in this competition is also one of the conditions for drawing a sword?" "You have to try, don't you?" "Huh? Anyone there? "Isn't that your stepsister?"

A group of knights in helmets and armor approached a taller and muscular man.

"That...... Brother Kai? Artoria was trying to hide the sword in the stone behind her back, but her slender stature couldn't stop the sword at all.

"Huh." The knight known as Kai Ge opened the mask of his helmet, revealing a mature and steady face, he looked at Ishinaka Ken and Kiritsugu standing on the side, and suddenly knelt down on one knee to Artoria: "What our king's sword is pointing at, what our hearts are longing for." ”

"This ......" The knights, who had already regarded him as king, were obviously not quite able to accept this development, and they were stunned one by one.

"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded, and the stone that had originally held the sword in the stone was torn apart, and the frightened knights turned to look at the strange wand that was still smoking in Merlin's hand, and finally followed Kai to his knees one by one.

"What my king's sword is pointing to, what our hearts are yearning for—"

It's not that he can't play with them, Kiritsugu retracts his gaze from Artoria, who is scrambling to help the knights up, and turns to the "wand" in his hand.

After all, there is no chance of launching a Barrett M82A1 with one hand.

？？ ：？？ ：？？

Since Artoria did not consider herself a qualified king, and the lords of Britain would not easily submit to a person who had no merit at all except to draw the sword in the stone, the future king embarked on a journey of cultivation.

Although she is practicing the way of kings, Artoria has the ability to easily feel the emotions of others, and she doesn't know how many troublesome things she has been involved in along the way.

It usually starts with her meddling, with Merlin shooting to make things bigger, and Kai ends up having to call for other knights to help with it.

Emiya Kiritsugu was not surprised that he had been drawing a sword before, and the next moment he appeared in the traveling carriage, but if this dream really went on minute by second, he would have to take measures to forcibly get out of the dream.

Artoria in front of her was wearing a white dress similar to when she was summoned, and her temperament was no longer as youthful and innocent as when she first drew her sword, and her eyes had begun to show a light of thought and determination, but her whole person still revealed a hope for the future.

"That person needs help!" She didn't know what she saw, and suddenly jumped off with her skirt, and Kai, who was driving, had to stop the carriage helplessly.

On the side of the road where the carriage stopped, there was a small exquisite castle, judging from its size and location, it had no ability to garrison troops and the value of defending against enemies, but the decoration was gorgeous, and the materials were exquisite even in the living room of some great nobles.

And the short, stocky guy with a sad face in front of the castle gate at this moment fits this description perfectly.

The expression is false, the standing posture is awkward, the eyes are evasive, and it is obvious that he is planning something.

Even in his dreams, Kiritsugu's professionalism made him quickly judge that this person had a purpose in approaching Artoria, after all, with this girl's nosy personality, it was enough for him to stand on the side of the road and make a sad appearance.

"Hello~ My name is Artoria, you look like you need help, would you mind talking to us?" Lo and behold, the eventful king of preparation just got there.

"You, hello, honorable King of Britain, it is an honor to meet you, a contemptible man called Annoel, a small lord here." The short and fat middle-aged man rubbed his hands: "Although there is a little problem with the territory, how can I be embarrassed to ask you to help?" ”

Very shrewd, he seems to have inadvertently brought up the issue of "territory", which is an element that every king will not ignore, and deliberately made an expression that he was looking forward to helping but afraid of something he did not dare to say, coupled with the respect he deliberately showed to Artoria when most of the nobles ignored the nominal king of England, he was definitely a skilled liar.

"It's okay, just tell me, if I can't solve it, I won't be reckless!" Artoria was indeed hit, and she patted the empty breastplate and said in a big way.

In fact, if she can't solve it with her skills, it's time for Kiritsugu and Kai to go out, right?

"Yes, you should see this castle, it is only a toy made by a little rich contempt, and has no military value or threat, but the nearby king of Bellinor, claiming that this castle is affecting his safety, has ordered the contemptible to either give it away or prepare to fight his army," the little lord who called himself Anor cried with a sad face: "The contemptible man is a merchant lord, and he has no army at all." ”

"Uh-huh......" Artoria thought for a moment, then clapped her hands: "He just wants to take your castle!" ”

Kiritsugu almost wanted to sigh, the most superficial layer of this scam was almost invisible, and there was still a long way to go to become a qualified king.

"Yes...... Yes," the expression on Annoel's face also distorted for a moment, but immediately adjusted back: "And he said that he would be the last to issue an ultimatum today, and if he didn't agree, he would go to war directly, you see......"

"I'll negotiate with him, and if I can't do it, I'll stop him through a duel!" Artoria said categorically.

"Then you're up to you, my king." Annoel stepped back a little with a little smugness: "Now please let me do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord......"

I guess even the liar himself didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed, and since his plan really needed Artoria's help by force, he deceived her instincts of a hundred things.

Stampede—The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and in the direction of the front of the carriage, several knights were galloping, dressed in silver helmets and silver armor, and carrying silver spears behind their backs.

"King Arthur! Even if you pull out the sword in the stone, it doesn't mean that you can just take care of the affairs of my Belinor king's territory! ”

Oh, I see, this Anor seems to have had a dispute of interest with King Bellinor, and has received information that Artoria will pass by, so he intends to use the unequal information between the two sides to provoke them to fight each other.

What he said to the king over there was probably a lie that King Arthur was dissatisfied with this unruly castle and asked him to rebuild or tear it down, and this kind of casual interference in the construction of other lords' territories would not generally be tolerated by the local nobles.

Kiritsugu tilted his head, and Kai happened to cast his gaze as well, and the two of them nodded in agreement after their eyes met - since they both understood what this misunderstanding was about, the solution was simple.

"Listen to me, two—" "Bang!! ”

Kai had just opened his mouth to stop the duel, when Kiritsugu's NTW-20 had already opened fire and hit Anor in the forehead, and the crook spun into the castle he was using as a trick prop before the sound of something completely shattering and filling spilling on the ground.

There was silence.

"You! Even if you're Merlin! I'm going to duel you too! King Bolino, who finally reacted, took off the silver spear from his back and pointed at Kiritsu.

"Oh? Yes, come on. Kiritsugu switched the gun from his left hand to his right hand, and the NTW-20, which was powerful in a single shot, shook like a reflection on the surface of the water, and became a QBU-10 with strong burst fire.

"No!" "King Birlino! Please calm down! You're going to die! ”

It seems that King Arthur broke the sword in the stone because of this designed duel, so ...... Forget it, it's a dream anyway.

Ignoring King Brinno, who was arguing for a duel, Kiritsugu pulled out a cigarette with a blank face.

99：45：11

"Huh? Did Kiritsugu dream of something good? Even the brow that was always frowning was relaxed. ”

Alice Fell lay on her side beside Kiritsugu Emiya, touching his forehead with a little curiosity.
