Act IV: The Everyday Life of the Knight King and the Magician's Feast (Part I)
Can you hear the wind outside?
Asking Natsume like this, it was Saber who was sitting directly across from him and had changed into a black suit.
Unlike the plot development of the story, Natsume did not hand Saber over to Alice Phil and make her Saber's acting master, but took Saber with him and acted with him.
After all, if Alice Phil becomes Saber's Acting Master, it will hasten Alice Phil's death.
Therefore, in order to postpone the death of Alice Phil, who still has a role, Natsume took this action.
In order to speed things up, Natsume and Alice Phil split up, and he asked Kuyu Maiya to go to the station near Einzbelen Castle to meet Alice Phil before taking her to Fuyuki City.
Pulling her gaze back from the window, Natsume, who heard Saber's question, took a deep breath before looking away again.
Perhaps finding himself being ignored, Saber stood up from the opposite side.
"Isn't it rude to ignore other people's questions?"
"So what is the act of spilling coffee by standing up?"
"Huh?!"
Saber shook the table with too much movement, causing the coffee in front of him to spill out, and the black and red liquid spilled on the table, spreading to the edges.
The two of them were on the train heading towards Fuyuki City, so after noticing that he was being rude in such a public place, Saber pulled a tissue from his arms. Wipe it off in a hurry.
Seeing the golden dull hair swaying in front of his eyes, Natsume couldn't help but confirm it himself.
"Are you really the Knight King? In the past, he drew a sword in the stone and led his army to defeat the enemy several times, and besides, the knight king is also a man who has a wife. ”
It is impossible to imagine that the owner of the golden scabbard excavated from Cornwall, that is, the hero king ARTHUR, who is the only user of the holy sword Excalibur, the true identity of PENDRAGON is actually a girl in the prime of cardamom.
"You've asked that question."
Saber frowned disapprovingly, and she tossed the soiled tissue into the trash can before doing it again.
Judging by the historical records. Natsume clearly remembers some of the stories of King Arthur.
Invaded by infidels. The Kingdom of Britain 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 dragon incarnation.
Contrary to that glorious feat. Wang Zuihou's fate was taken away from the throne because of the rebellion of his blood relatives. Even ending one's career in a moment of glory is not allowed. Full of tragedy.
This is the Knight King. It is also the life of King Arthur.
Therefore, the girl in front of her, who looked to be about fifteen years old, was actually a person who had experienced the battle on the battlefield and the betrayal of someone.
When she emerges from the shining summoning array. Whoever performed the ritual, whoever it was, would have been amazed at the young female knight king.
In that time of unrecognized glory, did King Arthur, who died alone somewhere, reach out to the sunlight shining from the leaves a moment ago?
The king of tragedy, the king of knights, and at the same time, the king of talents.
Interrupted from thinking, Saber, who was sitting across from him, took off the white gloves on his hands.
"As I have said before, and I have explained to Miss Alice Field, that it is true that I am pretending to be a man, and it is my intention not to reveal that lie to posterity, but it is really unpleasant to suspect that I am the owner of the scabbard."
"Because pulling out the sword in the stone is a symbol of the king, are you angry? Isn't this just like a normal child? ”
"What did you say?"
Because of the protection of the golden scabbard and the sword in the stone, as well as the sacred ritual given to him by the lake elves, he kept his young appearance, but he was treated as a little girl by Natsume, and Saber had no patience for this.
Even as a master in the world, there are things that cannot be said.
Saber gave Natsume a disgruntled gaze as she picked up her coffee, the golden hairs on her head slowly falling as they shook and then shook, the act of drinking coffee.
But.
Natsume reached out and grabbed the goofy hair on top of Saber's head.
"Huh?! Impudent!! ”
Skimmed Natsume's hand.
Take your hand back.
"Wait a minute."
Natsume said.
"You, what the hell are you doing?"
Natsume pointed outside, where there was a tall church, the top of which could be seen from the top.
Protecting the silly hair on the top of his head with his hand, Saber glared angrily after making sure he wasn't surprised, and then looked in the direction Natsume was pointing.
"Do you feel anything?"
"Not really."
If you are also a Heroic Spirit, you may have some subtle feelings with each other based on the Holy Grail, which can also provide some convenience to Natsume.
Natsume already knows how many masters there are, and he also knows what servants exist, but if he doesn't confirm it, he can't feel at ease.
After hearing Saber's answer, Natsume waved his hand in boredom and pulled out something from the box next to him.
It was a dress wrapped in a black paper bag.
Taking it from Natsume's hand, the goofy hair on Saber's head curled into a question mark.
Pointing to the paper bag, Natsume coughed.
"Try it in the toilet, we're going to an evening party tonight."
"No, why should I go with you?"
"Because the requirement they gave was that in addition to being magicians, they also had a partner."
Of course, this statement is to deceive Saber, who just wants to take him with him to increase his combat effectiveness.
If it was 'going to the party to see how it went,' Saber would have refused to put on that outfit.
I refuse.
Saber glanced at it, and even after hearing Natsume's explanation, he chose to refuse.
"Master, I can wear this suit, or I can change into clothes unique to your time, but this thing, in fact, is it intentional? What is difficult for a strong man? ”
"What do you say?"
Natsume took the paper bag, and inside was a gothic-style evening dress decorated with pleats and ruffles.
"In your time, this style of dress was not the standard attire of princes and nobles?"
"That's right, but that's just my people."
"Don't you wear it?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Saber nodded earnestly.
So.
Natsume took out another outfit from the paper bag on her right.
"If you don't wear this dress, I'll use a spell to make you fight with me in this bunny girl outfit until the end of the game." (To be continued......)
