Living alone at an altitude of 1.2 billion feet is the lonely bright moon.

The cold moonlight pierced through the atmosphere and hit the thousand-year-old architectural traces of the city of Einsbelen, and it took only a second to do so. People in the world probably don't know about this lonely moon, even if they can feel and guess with their subjective consciousness, but they can only be classified as groundless conjectures. Because Chanjuan does not belong to the world, she is alone in the sky 380,000 kilometers away, which is a high, high sky that belongs to her alone.

Since the existence of looking up can only be looked up to, it is destined to be unattainable and incomprehensible......

Alice Phil was walking alone in the forest outside the city of Einzbelen. Just now, Emiya Kiritsugu's confusion shocked her like never before, and the man actually felt scared and wanted to retreat. Although Alice Phil pretended to be strong and finally soothed the uneasiness in her husband's heart, the waves in her heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

The woman knew that the source of Kiritsugu's uneasiness was herself. Because of the existence of himself and Illya, this man who was once flawless was finally broken in his heart. The bond called "home" is difficult to break even for Kiritsu, who was once as cold and ruthless as a machine.

But what can this be? The evasion that Emiya Kiritsugu thought of was not real. Both Alice Fell and Emiya Kiritsugu knew in their hearts that when the thread of their fate was entangled with the thousand-year-old dream of Einzbelen, there was no possibility of unraveling it. Reality can never be as simple as imagined, nor can it be as simple as it seems. The so-called abandonment of everything in pursuit of freedom is really unattainable, and outsiders may think that setting foot on the shore is only a step in the effort, but only those who are deep in the swamp know how difficult it must be.

It's endless darkness, and ahead... There is not the slightest light......

"Good evening, Alice Phil!"

The girl under the moon is a more dazzling existence than the Katsura Palace in the sky. I don't know when, she stood quietly in front of the road, her holy green eyes staring at the confused woman without blinking. The clear sound seemed a little abrupt in the silent night sky, but the cold like the west wind also swept away a lot of gloom.

"Saber!? Why are you here?"

Suddenly awakened by Artoria's voice, Alice Fell raised her head and saw the girl in front of her, she couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly put away the sadness on her face, and asked with a smile.

"Because the moon is surprisingly bright tonight, I want to come down and take a look. Watching the moon in the forest is always enjoyable, no matter what the forest is. Artoria didn't tell the truth, she just looked up at the night sky slightly, then looked at Alice Fell and said, "Is there something going on, Ellie, if you don't want to laugh, don't force yourself." ”

"No.. Nothing, really nothing. Alice Phil shook her head slightly, not wanting to say anything more on the subject. "Does Saber like to see the moon?" Alice Fell walked gently to Artoria, and saw that she would carefully pull the girl down, and the two sat down together on the grass.

"Not really, I don't hate it, but I definitely don't like it"

"Huh?" Alice Fell looked at Artoria for some reason.

"On a night when the moon is unusually bright, there will be far fewer stars," Artoria replied with a frown, looking up at the starry sky.

"Starry sky, but why? Why do you love that starry sky?"

“......”

Artoria didn't answer again, perhaps not wanting to, or not knowing how to answer. A dark cloud came from nowhere, but it covered the full moon, and the wind was strong at night, and the leaves were rustled. The cold night breeze blew through the hair of the two of them, and the hair fluttering in the sky seemed to greet them, bid farewell to them, welcome some things, and send away others.

Alice Fell looked at Artoria quietly, it was not the first time she had observed it so closely, but she couldn't help but admire it. After a long pause, Alice Fell knew that it was already very difficult to protect this face. However, the most beautiful thing about Artoria was never her looks, she had a transcendence that belonged to King Arthur, and there might be a better look in the world, but this transcendent ethereal spirit was unique.

King Arthur didn't belong to women, and for a moment, Alice Fell had such a feeling. Because the beauty that she is praised for is fundamentally different from the beauty of a woman. That kind of beauty is beyond the scope of women, and what people are impressed by at first glance is not the appearance, but a heart-wrenching yearning, the yearning for the concept of "beauty" by those who pursue beauty. The beauty of King Arthur lies in the fact that she is King Arthur, and that one-of-a-kind empress is in a sense a beauty herself.

The wind stopped blowing, and the long golden hair in Alice Phil's eyes stopped dancing. The moonlight gradually revealed from the clouds, and the hazy moonlight shrouded Artoria like a cloud of smoke, and the faint moonlight scattered made the girl seem incomparably sacred, but also incomparably noble.

It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like it was just a moment, and Alice Fell couldn't be sure. Because time seems to stand still when you look at the girl, and even your breathing will stop involuntarily.

Artoria turned her head slightly, and her green eyes revealed feelings that Alice Fell could not understand. I can't understand it, and I can't understand it......

"Why do you yearn so much for the starry sky on the other side, because the other side of the starry sky is my hometown!"

Didn't deliberately say it to anyone, Artoria just poured out silently in her heart.

“！”

Suddenly, Alice Fair's chest suddenly throbbed violently, and she couldn't help but tense her whole body. As soon as she mastered the enchantment of the forest in her own magic, there were repeated and strong vibrations in her magic circuit.

That's the alarm.

"Is there an enemy attack, Ellie?" Looking to the northwest, with Superhuman Sense, Artoria also spotted the enemy's approach.

Alice Phil nodded silently, and the enchantment that opened in the forest was a circle with a diameter of five kilometers centered on the castle. With the enchantment, Alice Phil senses the arrival of the invaders from the beginning, and it's too bad for her... There doesn't seem to be more than one enemy.

"Saber! go back to the castle, Kiritsugu may be in danger!" Knowing the situation, and worried about her husband's safety, Alice Fell couldn't help but cry out.

"Got it!" Nodding, Artoria gently held Alice's waist, and with a few jumps, disappeared into the depths of the forest......

...................................................

Outside the forest

The intruder was dressed in pitch-black robes, and an ominous aura swayed from his clothes. There are also red patterns on the clothes, as if they were stained with blood, looming in the jungle. If Artoria had seen this, she would have recognized it as the extremely insane servant, Caster.

Caster didn't go it alone this time. There were about a dozen people behind him. Stride through the forest. These people are all underage children. The oldest of them is just an elementary school student. All the children walked as if they were sleepwalking, and Caster walked in front to lead them. There is no doubt that the children are under the control of the caster magic.

"I'm coming to welcome you back as promised... Your Highness!"
