Chapter 7: On the Way
"Saber, how does it feel, how does it feel in the air?" Alice Fell asked, looking at Artoria with interest, as if trying to see some amusement on her face.
They were now sitting on a Boeing 747, the massive body flying through the heavy rain clouds towards their destination, Fuyuki City.
It's just that she's doomed to be disappointed: "Nothing special, nothing more than feelings." It was much more boring than expected. Not caring if her answer would be a blow to Alice Phil, Artoria said seriously.
"How so, I thought it would surprise Saber. It seems that because she didn't get the answer she imagined, Alice made a look of languishing after being hit.
"I said you don't think of me as a primitive, do you? Anyway, what image have I always had in your heart? I always feel that your understanding of me is a little strange. Turning her head to look at the delicate face, Artoria said dissatisfied.
"Oops, hey, don't worry about that kind of detail. Alice Phil's cheeks stiffened instantly, and then she immediately put a gentle smile on her face and waved her hand.
"It always feels suspicious, Alice Phil, you must have a very rude thought. Staring at each other, Artoria said with a frown.
"How so? Saber, you must be overthinking. Anyway, Kiritsugu has already arrived in Japan before us. "It's a bit of a weak and unintelligent way to change the subject.
But Artoria didn't be aggressive anymore, thought for a moment and said, "Master, he should have his own ideas, he should come over in advance to find out the news and prepare." Of course, this is just my speculation, after all, he has not spoken to me more than three sentences so far, how can he tell me his plan?"
"I'm sorry, Saber. ”
"There's no need to apologize, I was mentally prepared the moment I became a servant. Not wanting to say more on this topic, Artoria turned her head to the window, looking at the white clouds that kept passing by outside, and her face was so calm that it was impossible to read her thoughts.
"Saber....", a little worried about the other party, but he didn't know how to speak.
The silence of time and space made people's hearts palpitate, but Artoria didn't care, she had long been used to this kind of thing, she had often sat alone for a day before she was alive or before she became a heroic spirit, so she didn't feel the slightest discomfort.
But Alice Phil couldn't sit still, she wasn't usually like this, but it was the first time she went out to see the scenery of the outside world for the first time, and her mood was a little agitated for a while, which made her a little restless. In addition, she attaches too much importance to Artoria's emotions, so she is now a little anxious to communicate with the other party.
"That.. That's, Saber. Feeling a little embarrassed, Alice Fell spoke.
"What's wrong?"
"Now that you've become servants, flying isn't a difficult thing for you, is it?"
Although ".................." had already noticed that something was wrong with Alice Field, and it was not surprising that she opened up to provoke a topic, she was still choked by her overly persistent curiosity.
"No, even before I became a Heroic Spirit, in my time, there were some people who were able to fly with the help of magic items and some fantasy species. Although helpless, Artoria replied seriously.
"And, if nothing else, even I can use some of my abilities to fly for a short time. ”
"Eh.. Eh, Saber, will you fly?" Alice Phil said with a series of surprises as if hearing the incredible words.
"Ah, sorry Saber, I didn't mean anything else, don't get me wrong. Then he seemed to realize his faux pas, and quickly apologized, with an innocent smile on his face.
"It's fine. Indifferent shook her head, looking at that innocent face, she couldn't be angry.
"So, all the servants will fly?"
"No, after being a servant, you can only rely on some treasures and skills to achieve similar effects, but in general, the concept of [flight] is impossible for either a human body or a servant. After a pause, the girl looked at Alice, who was eager to learn, and continued: "Human beings have not been endowed with the skill of [flight] since the beginning of their creation, and although the servant has been separated from the human category in a sense, it has finally reached this level by achieving immortal deeds as a human being, so it is impossible for either a human or a servant to fly. Unless it is no longer human, if it is forcibly exercised, then it is good if it has the ability to resist the correction of the world, otherwise it can only be corrected by the world!"
"Saber knows a lot, and it's not surprising that there is such a modern thing as an airplane, as if he already knew about it."
"Indeed, I have learned a lot of modern knowledge in this modern society as a servant. I also have riding skills as a swordsman, so I think I can control this machine called an airplane if anything. ”
"You...... Will you steer this plane?" Alice Phil was stunned by Saber's words. Alice can't be blamed for all the fuss, although the Holy Grail will give the Servant a lot of modern knowledge, but it is the most basic thing. Things like flying airplanes don't even know the Holy Grail, but if it comes down to Saber's job skills, how can she fly without knowing the structure of an airplane. Even if she can control the fantasy saber, I'm afraid she will be helpless in the face of this modern thing, does she still think that she can step on it and hold the reins? Thinking of this, Alice Phil suddenly constructed a picture of Saber holding the reins and driving a Boeing 747 in her mind, and she couldn't bear it anymore and laughed.
"I always think you're thinking about something rude!" Artoria frowned, looking at Alice Phil, who was laughing in a ball next to her, and her keen instinct told her that the object of Alice's laughter was probably related to herself.
"Ahh Haha, I'm sorry, woo, I'm definitely not laughing at you, Saber holding the reins and flying a plane or something isn't funny at all, ha..."
“........” Looking at the woman beside her with a black line that suddenly had a natural head, Artoria suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. "Well, Alice was laughing at it...... "There was an unpredictable glint in her green eyes, and Artoria stared at Alice faintly, which really made the latter shiver.
"Woo~, I was wrong, Saber..."
"And would Ellie want to experience what it's like to fly?" seemed to be a demonic whisper, and Artoria whispered in Alice Phil's ear.
"What?" Somewhat unintelligible about Artoria's words, Alice Fell instinctively felt a little uncomfortable, but before she could beg for mercy, the two of them disappeared into the plane together.
