Chapter 9: First encounter with Saber and Ellie
At the nearest airport to Fuyuki City, at the F airport, a chartered flight of Italian Airlines Vorale departing from Germany is slowly landing on the runway.
Although it has also endured the cold of winter, the winter in Japan is not comparable to the harsh winter in Einzbelen. Alice Phil. Feng. Einzberen looked up at the soft afternoon sun, and felt a sense of relief.
"This is where Kiritsugu was born......"
What a great place. Although I had learned a certain amount through photos and other things before, after experiencing it for myself, Alice Fell couldn't help but praise it again.
It's not just the mood that feels relaxed. This time she pretended to be a tourist. Therefore, what is prepared is not the dress that is usually worn, but the ordinary clothes that are as close as possible to ordinary people. Even though she was wearing flat boots and a knee-length skirt, it made her feel like she was reborn, and she moved freely and easily.
However, for the relatively isolated Einzbelen people, their so-called common people's clothing is far beyond the scope of the common people. Silk shawls and knee-high boots, and coats made of silver fox fur, the kind of clothing that can only be seen in the windows of high-end shopping malls, and are definitely expensive. And for Alice Phil, who has been cared for as a treasure since she was a child, this luxurious and expensive outfit looks so compatible. It can even be said that only such an outfit is worthy of her flowing silver hair and beautiful appearance.
Although she prepared such a common costume in order to pretend to be an ordinary person, it is a pity that this is only a common person in the eyes of the people of Einzbelen. And a beauty like her, no matter how she dresses, she won't look like an ordinary person.
"Saber, how does air travel feel?"
Alice Fell off the plane first and said to Servant, who was about to step onto the ground.
"Nothing special. It's more boring than you think. β
This should be true. The look in Saber's glass-colored pupils was as calm as ever.
"It's a pity, I thought you'd be surprised to thank me."
ββ¦β¦ Alice Phil, you don't think I'm primitive. β
In the face of Saber's frowning and disgruntled expression, Alice Phil sent an innocent smile.
"Flying is probably not surprising to the Heroic Spirit at all."
"Not really. It's just that I've been in this modern society as a Servant and have learned a lot of modern knowledge. He also has riding skills as a swordsman. If anything, I think I can control this machine called an airplane. β
Alice Phil was stunned by Saber's words.
"You...... Can you maneuver airplanes?"
"I think so. The object of my riding skills is all 'rideable objects'. Just step up and hold the reins, and you'll be able to get used to it and ride it quickly. β
Alice Phil finally couldn't help but laugh. She didn't see the cockpit of the plane. If she walked into the cab and found no saddle or bridles, just a lot of instruments she had never seen before, I wonder what she would think.
However, her explanation of the skill should be completely true. It is said that the swordsman is able to control all rideable objects except phantom beasts and mythical beasts. If necessary. I think I can also drive or ride a bicycle.
"But it's still a bit of a pity. You're probably the only Servant who can experience the flight sensation of an airplane with your body. β
ββ¦β¦ I'm very sorry about that. I didn't have that qualification. β
"Ahh Don't mind, that's not what I meant. β
Other masters are supposed to come to Japan by ship in a variety of ways, so it should be an exception for Alice Phil to come by plane with Servant and pretend to be ordinary tourists.
As for the reason, it's all up to Saber. Although she is a heroic spirit, she must accept restrictions that other Servants do not have to accept, the most important of which is that she cannot be spiritualized. At the same time, she does not have the basic abilities that other Servants have, such as being able to move at high speed after disarming materialization, and suppressing the supply of mana from the Master while resting. This is not due to a problem with the contract with Kiritsugu and the summoning method, but it seems that the soul of the hero named Artoria is unable to activate the Servant under normal conditions...... As for the details, even Alice Phil didn't understand. The most headache is that Saber can't hide herself, and she can't let her appear in front of everyone in armor like that in the present world. So Saber only dresses up as an ordinary girl. Walking with Alice Fell is a way to go.
However, judging by her outfit, Alice Fell is still a little glad that Saber is restricted.
"It was great to be able to travel with Saber for two people. Anyway, you won't get bored of what I look at. β
"Alice Phil, what did you say?"
"Nothing. Don't worry about it. β
Alice Fell chuckled and tilted her head to the side. But this only made Saber even more suspicious.
ββ¦β¦ Whenever you laugh like that, it means that you must be hiding something, say it. β
"I was just thinking that it's not a bad thing that you've always been a physical person, because I can help you choose clothes."
ββ¦β¦β
Saber opened her mouth to say something, but when it came to her lips, it turned into a sigh. Originally, the Servant who could not be spiritualized because he was conditioned was rightfully scolded every day. But now it's actually making the Master happy, which is of course an unexpected situation. So if you talk back a few more words at this time, it will really put the cart before the horse.
"Alice Phil, I don't look wrong with this outfit, do I?"
"Hmm... I think it's okay. However, it was also my first time in this country, and I was still a little nervous. β
If there had been a non-Japanese national who knew the state of Japanese civilians at the time, he would have disputed Alice Phil's words.
Alice Fell measured Saber and customized her outfit before she set off. At Frankfurt Airport, they got the clothes. A navy blue skirt, shirt and tie, and a French European-style black jacket are the perfect men's outfit to match.
If a girl who is only about 1.5 meters tall wears such a dress, maybe everyone will feel that it doesn't match. But when it comes to Saber, it can only be described as amazing.
Her beauty is not the kind of gender inversion, but her awe-inspiring temperament makes her beauty different from the flamboyance of ordinary women. Perhaps, she can only be described as a peerless beautiful boy with a refined temperament. Her thin body, fair skin and youthful pure temperament, anyone who sees her will sincerely admire her beauty.
"It's my own clothes, Saber doesn't like it."
"Ah, no. It's easy to move, and I've always worn men's clothes. β
Although it would be easier for her to wear men's clothes when she changed her armor in the future, at least for now, Alice Phil made the decision purely out of her own interest, and no one can deny that.
Alice Fell handed over all the luggage she had brought to the maids, and she and Saber walked to customs empty-handed. The maids will return home directly after dropping off their luggage at Villa Einzbelen, just outside of Fuyuki City. The Holy Grail War is about to begin, and this time, Alice Phil is not willing to sit idly by. Therefore, in order not to implicate innocent people, she asked those maids to return to China immediately. With this determination, she handled many matters around her alone. Thankfully, Saber was able to stay with her.
"Sure enough. There's something wrong with my clothes......"
The people in the shuttle looked at Saber, so she muttered uneasily.
"I think it's because it's so beautiful."
Alice Phil had to smile bitterly, because there were also quite a few eyes on her. And the truth is, because both of them are very beautiful. Whether it's a bizarre costume or a combination that has never been seen before, it all looks so harmonious and compatible. The reason why the people around him pay attention is not because they feel strange, but because they are intoxicated and cast envious eyes.
ββ¦β¦ Let's go Saber. Don't worry about that. β
Alice Phil said as she took Saber's hand, and Saber bowed her head in a depressed expression.
"It's rare to come to Japan, so let's go and have a big meal before the war starts."
"Alice Phil, it's not a question of eating or not......"
Alice Phil half-dragged Saber and jumped towards the waiting hall. Saber looked at her expression, and for some reason, she seemed to see a brightness that she had never seen before.
- Divide - Divide - Divide - Divide - Divide -
By the time the two arrived in Fuyuki City, the sun had begun to sink in the west, and night was approaching.
"It's so lively......
The two got off the train at the park square in front of the station, looking at the busy figures of people in the sunset, Alice Phil couldn't help but sigh with flashing eyes.
But Saber beside her, like a battlefield commander, coldly observed the grass and trees around her.
"Kiritsugus must have arrived here."
"yes, it should be half a day before us."
When Kiritsugu is about to return home, he has already begun to operate secretly. I got here by a completely different route than Alice Phil and the others. He should first take a passenger plane to Shin-Osaka International Airport. Later, take a train to Fuyuki City.
"Don't you want to find him?"
"It doesn't matter. He should come to us. β
"Correct."
Looking at Saber Alice Phil with a dazed face, she smiled like a child who had succeeded in her prank.
"Saber, it's so rare, let's go shopping, it must be fun."
"Ellie, don't take it lightly, now that you've set foot on the land of war!" Remind her that Saber's tone is very serious!
"Saber must be able to sense the Heroic Spirit, right? Surely it will protect me, right? "Alice Fell doesn't seem to care about the enemy at all.
"Yes...... Yes! My perception limit is 200 meters, of course, if the other party has any special abilities, it's hard to say! β
Alice Phil turned her head and looked at Saber head-on, "That's it, besides, ......"
"What's wrong? Ellie? Could it be that there is something ...... secret?" Saber asked Alice Phil's sudden hesitation.
"I ...... It's the first time I've ......," Alice Phil hesitated, but said anyway, "It's the first time I've gone out...... Before...... I've always lived in the city of Einzberen, and this is my ...... It's the first time you've been out of the world......"
"I'm just a puppet made for the Holy Grail War, so there's no need to go out, grandpa said to me......"
Alice Field's tone was lowered, but she said with a happy smile: "So, I'm very happy now, and I didn't know I was overdoing it, sorry!" β
"Huh? No, it's nothing ......" Saber didn't expect Alice Phil to have such an experience, and was a little surprised for a while, and suddenly bent his slender elbow and pointed at Alice Phil, "Although it's the first time I've come here, it's a knight's duty to protect the princess, although I can't reach it yet, but I'm still working hard, please!" β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you! The voice was soft, but the next moment, Alice Phil hooked Saber's arm.
Even in the heart of a bustling area, the combination of Saber and Alice Fell is just as eye-catching.
A silver-haired girl with a noble temperament in a gorgeous costume, and a delicate and beautiful boy who was hooked by a girl's arm. Even at a movie star-studded drinking party, you don't necessarily see such a perfect combination.
Images that used to be only visible on screens are now being brought to life on the streets of a city in Japan. Passers-by often stop at just one glance.
But the two who were noticed just walked indifferently, not as intimate as lovers, nor as excited as tourists, just walking along the street like that. Occasionally they would stop and smile at the windows that glittered in the light of the setting sun.
"Huh? That seems to be Saber and Ellie......? "After warning Yusheng Ryunosuke, Gong Xiaoyun came to Fuyuki City and began to reconnoiter the terrain, or rather, he was trapped for sixty years and couldn't bear to come out and take a walkβ_β, but it seems that there was some unexpected discovery.
"Do you want to try a sneak attack..."Gong Xiaoyun narrowed his eyes and began to estimate the probability of success.
Suddenly, Saber grabbed Alice Phil's arms and pulled her closer. And because of this action, Alice Field's calm gaze met with Saber in an instant.
"Enemy Servant?" Ellie asked alertly
"Yes, I feel the murderous aura, it's not far away......" Saber glanced around carefully, and the pedestrians on the side of the road walked away quickly under Saber's cold gaze.
"It's really vigilant, look at this cold vindictiveness, I think you're Saber..."
"Ellie, step back behind me." Saber stepped forward to block Alice Fair's face, and then the fighting energy on her body began to surge.
The air became heavy, and the burst of magic stirred up a whirlwind of air in the air, and it seemed like a battle was about to break out on this lively street.
The update was delivered, and it was a little late. Something happened in the group, maybe I'm really not suitable for writing novels......
