Emerald eyes watched from the castle windows at the figure of the father and daughter frolicking in the forest population.

The figure of the girl standing by the window. Appears weak, has an ethereal feeling of being far away from the fireworks of the world. Light, soft, and charming blonde hair rests on her head in a dignified manner, and her slender body wears an antique dress, although it is a complete match for the grooming of a deep daughter, but the aura she exudes is as if the air in the whole room is tense just by staying in place, and it looks solemn and awe-inspiring. It can be said that the cold atmosphere is not so much the cold of ice as the refreshing and pure of a stream. To the heavy, gloomy winter landscape of the city of Einsbelen, her presence seemed out of place on some level.

"What are you looking at? saber。 ”

Shouted from behind by Alice Phil. The girl by the window, Saber, turned around.

"Reijine and Kiritsugu are frolicking in the forest outside."

She seemed to be surprised, she seemed to be confused, and although she had a stiff expression that frowned slightly, it didn't damage the girl's beauty at all. Compared with a charming smile, she is more suitable for dignified and clear serious eyes, and she is the kind of beauty with rare quality.

This dignified presence. How can people believe that she is the embodiment of the Heroic Spirit?

But. She's a real "saber...... One of the Seven Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail, a servant who occupies the seat of the strongest sword.

Alice Fell stood beside her and looked out the window. Kiritsugu, who had Eliasfil riding on his shoulder, ran right into the depths of the forest.

"That side of Kiritsugu surprised you, didn't you?"

Looking at the smiling Alice Phil, Saber nodded honestly.

From her position, she could not see the girl's face, only a little silver hair inherited from her mother, but the high-pitched laughter she heard when she disappeared from her field of vision was indeed full of joy. This alone can fully perceive the harmonious relationship between the playful father and daughter.

"To be honest, I have a colder impression of my master."

Alice Phil was very confused by Saber's words and smiled wryly.

"yes, there's no way around it."

Since being called. As the master, Kiritsugu never spoke to Saber once.

Treat the servant as if it were just a servant of the master or a prop.

Indeed, as a magician, it may be a matter of course. They never talked, they were silent about questions, and they didn't even make eye contact. Kiritsugu has been rejecting the Heroic Spirit he has summoned.

This kind of nobody's attitude towards Kiritsu. Although Saber didn't show it directly, he must have been very dissatisfied in his heart. For her, Kiritsugu's usual attitude towards herself, and the figure of the man who is now frolicking with his beloved daughter outside the city. It is also natural to feel a huge gap.

"That's what Kiritsugu is. Then I seem to be quite annoying to the master. ”

Alice Phil looked at Saber with a bitter expression. I caught a glimpse of the original meaning that I couldn't see from my usually upright face, and I couldn't help but laugh. Seeing her like that, Saber looked more and more dissatisfied.

"Alice Phil, there's nothing funny about it."

“…… I'm sorry. I wonder if you still mind being called. ”

"A little. …… I'm used to things that are different from what everyone thinks. But you don't have to be surprised by two people together. ”

Despite the sassy majesty of the style, in reality, Saber's appearance is only that of a girl about fifteen years old. Previously, when she emerged from the shining summoning array, Kiritsugu and Alice Phil, who were performing the ritual, were dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that the owner of the golden scabbard unearthed from Cornwall, that is, the hero king Arthur Pendragon, who was the only user of the holy sword Excalibur, would have the real identity of a young girl in the prime of cardamom.

“…… Indeed, I pretend to be a man, and it is my intention not to reveal that lie for posterity...... But to suspect that I am the owner of the scabbard is, to be honest, very unpleasant. ”

"Even if you say that, you can't help it. Your legend is too famous, and it's a story that has been told for 1,500 years. and the Arthurian we know, the gap in our impression is too big. ”

At Alice Phil, who smiled wryly. Saber sighed unconvinced, tired.

"What you say about looks doesn't help. When I pulled the sword of contract from the rock, I was cast the magic of immortality, and my appearance and age stopped. Let's talk about the subjects at that time

I didn't have any doubts about my appearance. All I seek is to fulfill my responsibilities as king. ”

What kind of harsh youth is that?

The Kingdom of Britain was invaded by pagans and was in danger of extinction. Following the magician's prophecy and taking on the responsibility of being the savior, he has been victorious in twelve battles for ten years, and is the young king of the "incarnation of the dragon".

Contrary to that glorious feat. The king's final fate was that he was robbed of the throne because of the rebellion of his blood relatives, and he was not even allowed to end his career at a moment of glory, which was full of tragedy.

That fierce and painful fate was carried by such a young girl. Such a truth made Alice Phil feel heavy.

"For Kiritsugu...... Because my true identity is that of a woman. Do you look down on me? Think I'm not worthy of a sword? ”

As Alice Fell sighed, Saber whispered in a dry voice as she looked across the forest as they entered.

"Nothing like that. Even he can see through your power. He wasn't so pedantic as to look down on a hero who had won the seat of the sword. …… He's angry, and there should be other reasons. ”

"He's angry?"

Saber continued.

"Did I make Kiritsugu angry? That's what people can't understand. Obviously, I haven't even spoken to him once until now. ”

"So, it's not anger at you personally. What angered him must be the legend of King Arthur that we have passed down for a long time. ”

If the Heroic Spirit summoned by Kiritsugu was King Arthur, who had the same "adult male surname" as the Inheritance, he would not have refused to serve to this extent. It is expected that there will be only emotionless and cold negotiations that are the minimum necessary. Putting an action that could have ended in this way into an attitude of "ignorance" is in other words a huge emotional reaction.

Kiritsugu, knowing the past, pulled out the sword of the contract inserted in the rock. After the truth that it was actually a young girl in the cardamom years, anger that could not be concealed by all the legends about King Arthur surged in her heart.

"That person, I guess he was angry with the people around you in your time. To the cruel people who put the responsibility of the name 'king' on a petite girl. ”

"There's no way around it. Since the moment he pulled out the sword in the stone. I've come to my senses. ”

There didn't seem to be any yield, and Saber's expression remained calm and clear. Alice Phil shook her head slightly at her in confusion.

“…… It's because you accepted your fate like that that it makes people even more angry. Only in response to this, maybe he was angry with a girl named Artoria. ”

"......" (To be continued.) )
