My name is Elijah,

I'm sparring with Lily.

84：35：23

Maiya Kuyu was asked by Kiritsugu to stay in the courtyard and wait for contact, while he himself went out with Saber alter.

This is also a natural arrangement, in the case that the Assassin has been almost completely wiped out, and the information of all forces is clear, there is no need for her to go out as a detective who is not strong in combat, and it is appropriate to become a channel for communication between the headquarters and Kiritsu, and in addition, if possible, use the means of the technology side to protect the two lords of Alice Fell and Lin Hao.

Caster seems to have done something to make Alice Phil angry last night, and after a day of hiding outside, she just came back and caught her and began to preach, Maiya listened a little, and it seemed to be some kind of disregard for her own safety taken by Caster.

There is no doubt that Caster ignored the fact that it was during the Holy Grail War and ran to save people, which can be inferred from her Master's personality, and she must have been pleasantly surprised by the fact that many patients suffering from chronic illnesses were unexpectedly cured throughout the day.

Regarding Caster and Hayashi Hao's wish to bear the misfortune of the whole world, although Kiritsugu once clearly said that he would admit defeat, Maiya did not think so after thinking about it.

Accidents such as diseases and natural disasters may be passed on, and crimes and injuries that arise out of the darkness of the human heart can be stopped by Kiritsugu, but what about war?

In the history of human history, there are very few wars that can simply judge the good and evil of both sides, and those scholars who argue for this have even coined a term called relative justice, and in the case of unclear definition of absolute justice, almost all sides of the war are relative justice.

For Maiya, however, her relative justice is very simple: Emiya Kiritsugu, that is, justice.

- [Heh, I was a little distressed because this war seemed to be evenly matched. 】

At that time, the girl who was not called Kuyu Maiya firmly engraved the figure like a god descending from heaven in the bottom of her heart.

——[I'll help you here.] 】

In the background, heavily armed enemy intruders protect their parents to the death.

After that, the war that could have lasted for a long time was quickly ended with the intervention of the magician, and Maiya was also taken away by Kiritsugu to train the envoy when he discovered his talent for demons, and then assisted him in the exercise of justice.

And then ...... Cut into the Einzberen family.

Obviously, she came first, so it doesn't matter if she knows Kiritsugu or agrees with his point of view......

Sure enough, just like the sentence that I don't know who said, is longing the farthest feeling from understanding?

————

"Caster, please have a fight with me."

Saber, dressed in a white dress, said suddenly, sobering up Maiya, who had accidentally immersed herself in memories, but at the same time wondering if she had misheard.

Although the information I learned from Kiritsugu was limited, Saber, as the strongest agent, basically has a strong [Pair of Mana] skills, and even if she has just recovered from her weak state by replenishing food, it will be overwhelmingly disadvantageous to Caster, so what's the point of such a fight?

"Okay~" and Caster agreed directly.

“Saber？” Alice Fell asked suspiciously, and it seemed that she also doubted the effect of the exchange.

"I barely played any role against Archer with another me," said Saber. Lily said, "I've done my best just to parry the King's Treasure he throws, and even if I finally liberate the Treasure Phantasm with her, the two sides will be completely in a supporting position when fighting, so I have to strengthen myself for the next battle." ”

This passage made Maiya a little impressed with her, because she finally realized the problem, and although Saber· Lily looks humble and says how immature she is, but there is a strange confidence in her bones that "I will be the king of England in the future", and it seems that the recent battle has made her understand that no matter what the future holds, the present is the most important thing.

"I know, restorative training," Caster unsurprisingly added to the medical term, "but because of your [magical powers], I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my hand, you have to be prepared to die at any time - oh no, it's the consciousness of being frozen into ice." ”

"Of course, please advise." Saber walked over to the relatively spacious spot in the courtyard, conjured the golden sword, and made a knightly salute to Caster.

"Alice Phil will be angry if the courtyard is destroyed." Lin Hao, who had been quietly watching in a wheelchair, suddenly said.

"Oh, indeed, you wait a minute." Caster thought for a moment, raised his hands and began to cast a magic spell.

For Lin Hao, Maiya's perception is also very complicated, at first I only thought that she was an ordinary magician who was involved in the Holy Grail War because of "making up the numbers", but after this period of getting along, Maiya has to admit that her firmness in her beliefs is almost comparable to Kiritsu.

Although she could no longer go to some medical institutions to transfer other people's diseases to herself for safety reasons, she had no objection to Caster's various actions that disregarded her own safety or loss, even if it caused harm to herself, or rather, she was very supportive.

Perhaps Alice Phil's faith in the Winter Maiden made her not think deeply, but Maiya, who has always been observing from a neutral and objective perspective, can see that the master and servant have the determination to protect Alice Phil, Kiritsugu, and even Maiya as outsiders at the expense of themselves under the premise of "bearing the misfortune of the whole world".

As for Lin Hao's cold words to Kiritsu, I'm afraid it's also dissatisfied with "Caster has paid so much and you don't respond", but the deep reasons for this situation, Maiya can't figure it out for the time being.

————

The wind was cold.

What drew Maiya's attention away from the perimeter to see if anyone was approaching and back into the courtyard was the snow-white "ring" that was out of step with its surroundings, and it was circular in shape, occupying most of the area in the center of the courtyard, large enough for two warriors to fight each other, and the edge was surrounded by an invisible barrier where snowflakes flew.

"It's a bit of a geographical advantage, but it's the best way to keep our battles from destroying the courtyard or leaking the magic." Caster said.

"Please advise." Saber didn't seem to have a problem with this, nodded slightly, and raised his sword.

"Hmm~" Caster raised her hands with her fingers folded above her head and made a gesture of stretching her waist, and with her movements, the lilac dress on her body was replaced by her treasure [Heavenly Clothes] in a burst of white light, and the original silver-white shawl hair also flashed ice blue.

This is the official combat stance of the "Winter Maiden", which has only appeared once when she has teamed up with Rider to defeat Berserker, and seems to have a very good bonus to her ice magic.

"Whew-" Caster yawned as if to stretch his waist.

Saber had a bad start, Maiya thought, and having hunted many magicians with Kiritsugu, she knew very well that she should never ignore any of the magicians' moves, especially once they were already in combat mode.

And Caster, who can occupy the position of magician, is of course the best among them.

"So, I'll start—huh?" Saber· Lily raised her sword and tried to adjust her pace, only to find that her feet had been completely frozen on the ground, and the thick ice even covered her knees.

The action that seemed to yawn, but it blew a cold wind close to the ground, firmly fixing her lower plate.

Click-Click-Caster didn't give Saber time to break free, and a pair of skates with sharp skates slid under her feet towards the immobile Lily.

A Caster is going to play melee combat? Kuyu Maiya was puzzled.

"Drink!" Saber used his magic to shatter the ice on his legs, and then slashed at Caster as he slashed at him.

Caster raised his hand to block the golden sword, a cloud of ice mist that he had brought up from his arm, and then quickly spun into the air before the ice mist dissipated, the amount of ice and snow around him and the inertia of the rotation caused Saber's sword to go straight to the side.

Saber spun half a circle around and unleashed a whirling slash, but by this time Caster had already leapt high and fired a large number of sharp ice picks from the air behind Saber with open hands.

Saber seemed to have some shadow on the King's Treasure attack, and the golden sword swung like the wind, knocking down all icicles in the range of the attack, whether necessary or not.

Saber lost, and Kuyu Maiya shook her head and sighed.

As she threw the icicles, Caster landed behind Saber on a somersault waiting for her to deal with them, even brushing her hair until the white-armored knight realized something was wrong and was about to pull back or fight back, her hands were pressed against Saber's shoulder armor.

"[Frozen Execution]!" Caster shouted out her magic as if she were the real name of the Liberation Phantasm, and Saber· Lily, on the other hand, was instantly frozen in a huge block of ice.

"Hmm......" Caster, whose mana fluctuations had not dissipated, let out a distressed sound, took a half-step back, leaned over and pressed his hand to the ground, and four huge sharp icicles drilled out of the ground aimlessly before shattering and disappearing.

So, is it the full form of "Frozen Execution" to pierce the frozen enemy with these icicles at the end? But if he does, this Saber will probably return to Valhalla.

"I'm sorry, I can't lift this myself, it should have been broken by the last four [Diamond Ice Blades], but I'm not sure it won't hurt you." Caster's explanation confirmed Maiya's suspicions, and she returned to Alice Phil and Hayashi after saying so.

"It must have been hard for Caster to hone such melee skills before, right?" "It's okay, after all, there are not many people who dare to provoke the 'Winter Saintess'."

Sure enough, Alice Fell was concerned about the strange side again.

"Can you make ice cream?" "No, okay, it's a magic simulation of ice and snow, and you can't eat it at all."

The way this master and servant get along is as strange as ever.

Gurgle-boom! A huge block of ice shattered from it, and Saber · Lily stepped out on crushed ice.

"Go on!" Her tone was full of warlike intent: "I feel like I'm getting stronger!" ”
