Chapter 63: The Beginning of the Decisive Battle
βsaberοΌ How are you?! Saber didn't know that Kiritsugu used her as bait and then ambushed Ye Yu himself, so after the duel with Lancelot, he returned to his current residence in a bit of a lost spirit...... The big mansion of the Emiya family.
Should it be said that Kiritsugu suffered on his own, after the curse of Ye Yu in his body, he has now become several times weaker than ordinary people. Not being accepted by the light means that he can't even see things with his eyes, and for a killer, isn't being able to see things the same as being useless?
Even now, it is difficult for him to even rely on his own strength to return to the station, fortunately, Maiya, this woman, saved her life because of Ye Yu's incursion, otherwise just wait for the sun to rise, Kiritsugu is afraid that he will become the first magician in this world to die alive.
"Etude...... I'm fine. After returning to the mansion, the unconcealable smell of blood on Saber's body made Alice Fell come to her side for the first time, but now Saber really didn't smile at Madame, and tried her best to make the expression on her face as soft as possible, Lancelot's death made her mood very chaotic, and now Saber needs to find a place to be quiet, not to accept anyone's kindness.
"It's okay...... It's okay. Seeing that Mrs. Saber was very considerate and didn't ask much, as the container of the Great Holy Grail, she clearly felt that just tonight there was more magic in her body that belonged to the two servants, so it also meant ...... After today, is the day of the final showdown? It's just that with my current body......
The melancholy in Madame's heart was that she had not told anyone except Kiritsugu, it was already fate, since she had come to this far-eastern land with Kiritsugu, she was actually ready to sacrifice before that, and the only thing she hoped for was that Kiritsugu could use this war to fulfill his long-cherished wish, and it would be enough for him to be happy with their daughter.
After the battle with Lancelot, Saber was filled with a sense of lost soul, which inevitably made Madame secretly worried about it. Although she is a servant of Kiritsu, in fact, the person who has lived with her for so long is Alice Phil, and Madame herself is like a princess who has been raised in an ancient castle, which makes her and Saber naturally become close friends who talk about everything, so Madame's concern at this time seems very reasonable.
Not only that, but now that the Holy Grail War has been underway, they can be said to be only one step away from obtaining the Holy Grail, and the destruction of the last enemy still needs to rely on the power of Saber, and there must be no mistake at this time. Under the combined effect of these two aspects, the lady frowned and thought for a moment, and finally made up her mind to call out to Saber, who wanted to go back to the room to rest first.
"Saber, wait a minute!" The voice from behind made Saber turn around in surprise, and at this moment, Saber's eyes widened violently with an extremely familiar magic fluctuation on Madame's body, "...... The ideal place to get away from the world! It...... How could it be here?! β
"I'm sorry Saber I haven't told you all this time......" Holding the gorgeous blue and gold scabbard that rematerialized from the conceptual form, Madame made a rare apologetic expression at Saber, "Actually, this is the holy relic that summoned you in the Holy Grail War, and since then, because I am the Great Holy Grail, this treasure has always been on my body to help me suppress the erosion of magic power......"
"And you're now?" Since Alice Phil has taken it out now, she must have wanted to use it for something, otherwise she didn't have to mention this to herself, but ......, "Ellie, you don't need to be like this, I have a reason to win this war, so ......"
"Say no more saber, I know there will be nothing wrong with my body." Before Saber could finish speaking, Madame forcefully shoved the scabbard into her hand, and only after Saber really held the treasure that belonged to her, Alice Fell could be regarded as a virgin smile again, "Saber, you just need to go and win the final victory now." β
"Compliance...... Your will, ma'am......"

Lancelot...... And Avalon, is this the arrangement of fate? "Avalon's recovery is not a happy thing for Saber today, reminiscent of the previous battle...... After a few hasty conversations with his wife, Saber decided to go to the quiet meeting alone.
This time the lady did not stop her, and after a while Saber removed her armor and sat down on the edge of the bed in her room.
Changing into that dark blue dress and then putting her hair back in a bun, Saber still had the demeanor of a general on the battlefield, on the contrary, she looked more like a well-educated aristocratic lady - elegant and serene.
As a result, the already gorgeous Sword of Victory of the Oath and the accompanying Avalon, Ber's slender fingers gently brushed the intricate but delicate patterns on Avalon, and her thoughts drifted to the previous birthday duel with Lancelot......
"I'm sorry...... And thanks? Munching on the words that Lancelot had whispered in her ear before he vanished, Saber couldn't help but ponder what he really thought at the time...... "The king guards the people, and the ministers are in charge of the king...... Lancelot, until the end, did you live in self-blame? β
Not because he turned his back on his home country, nor because he wanted to push the country back into war...... Lancelot was the only one who was indebted to Saber, and this was the truth that Saber had just realized. But......
"But...... I was the one who failed to protect the people! It's me who chose to conquer instead of protect! Holding Avalon's fingers with a fierce force, Saber's face slowly appeared determined and proud, "But this time...... Absolutely not! I swear ......"
"So...... My knights, lend me your power again! (To be continued.) )
