Walking down the street, the girl holding the little girl by the hand has long snow-white hair and a slender body.

She stared at the little girl beside her for a moment, then took out a handkerchief from her bosom and dried her purple hair, which had just been wet from the droplets of water dripping from the eaves.

The two jumped over the small puddle in front of them, and the smiling girl's hand tightened, pulling the little girl tightly to her side.

Looking at this scene, Natsume, who didn't know what kind of expression to show, stopped.

Overhead, the sky was clear, and the clouds floating above seemed to be blown by the breeze, and the wind currents that passed through the streets announced their presence with a faint whistling sound.

Blonde hair and a standing hair suddenly appeared in front of him, and Saber, who was wearing a black suit, leaned his face slightly in front of Natsume and asked suspiciously

"What's wrong? Master, there shouldn't be any Heroic Spirits nearby. ”

That's not what it means.

Natsume retracted his gaze, and Saber, who noticed that his gaze was on Alice Phil, nodded thoughtfully.

In that case, Saber looked at his hands, and although his left hand was still injured, he could still fight.

When it comes to the showdown with Lancer, Saber knows that he needs to fight quickly and defeat the other party, so that he can show his true strength.

Even so.

"Regarding Alice Phil's safety, I guarantee that Alice Phil will be protected."

"I don't question your strength, what about the wound on your left hand?"

"Able to inhibit spread and infection. However, it cannot be restored. ”

Sure enough, Lancer had to be defeated. Otherwise, Saber's left hand wound would have persisted. I can't use all my strength at all.

We need to move faster.

Thinking about it, Natsume gave up the idea on the way.

Not completely discarded, but temporarily discarded.

I'm taking them out to play today.,But the main purpose is to let that little kid.,Sakura rejuvenate.。

According to Natsume's judgment, the route he chose was close to the neighborhood around the Einzberen Forest, and although some of the play buildings were missing, the possibility of danger was greatly reduced.

Estimate it. The current Kiriki inkstone must have sent some people to find Sakura's traces, and for him, Sakura is a good 'prop'.

Natsume didn't hide anything about Sakura, but she didn't reveal it all, she only told them part of the information.

It's just that Sakura is said to be a lost child who has lost some memories and has been traumatized.

Handing her over to Alice Phil is also the easiest and best way to do it.

It's more appropriate for someone else to take care of Sakura than to someone else.

Of course, Natsume is also worried, worried about what will happen after drastically changing the plot. As long as it's not too bad, you can still handle it.

Come to think of it. Natsume sighed tiredly, in fact, no matter what, he would change the plot, and it was inevitable to face this development.

What is needed next is not shrewd planning and arrangement, but the ability to improvise.

Saber is strong.

As the Knight King and the King of Britain, she does have a very strong strength, and this strength must be put to good use.

The only thing that bothers her is her 'chivalry'.

Natsume's approach is completely different from Saber's, and there will definitely be a conflict between the two, which will inevitably strain the relationship between Natsume and Saber.

"About the previous thing."

Kindness?

Natsume heard Saber's words, and here his thoughts were interrupted, returning to reality.

"Before, what do you mean?"

"Actually, it's a confrontation with Lancer, I want to be able to have a fair duel with him, this is a request to the Master, and as a Heroic Spirit, Lancer must have the same expectations."

"Then it depends on the situation, you with an injured left hand fighting a fully state Lancer, I don't want you to risk it."

Other words.

Saber listened to Natsume's explanation, and his whole body became nervous.

"Won't the Master necessarily agree? But ......"

“Saber。”

Natsume interrupted Saber.

"For you, the glory of the knight or the final victory, which is more important."

“…………”

Silence passed, and the Buddha changed from a king to an ordinary maiden named Artoria.

The glory of the knight means the bump in the road to the final victory;

The ultimate victory means that the knight's glory may be compromised.

Either way, it's important for Saber.

Wanting to win and defend glory is just a simple fantasy, and it is rarely happening.

The so-called battle is based on intrigue and violence.

In the face of great power, all schemes will be useless, but does that power really exist?

Natsume stared at Saber and continued

"If you want to save your people and your country, you can't do it without giving up something, this is the reality, and the ideal in your heart is not so simple and can be realized."

It is true that the glory of a knight is equal to the life of a knight, but when faced with an enemy, it is necessary to wield a weapon with the thought of losing one's life.

"Master, victory and glory coexist, I can tell you with certainty. The sword in my hand, when I defeat the enemy, is also the time to protect my own glory, and I will bring victory to you in the battle against Lancer. ”

"Don't talk about it."

Natsume interrupted Saber again and pointed ahead with his chin

"Alice Fell is calling you."

"I see."

Biting her lip and a little unwilling, Saber walked over to the counter where Alice Phil was, a modest shop selling trinkets.

Buying a hat for Sakura, Alice Phil asks Saber for advice.

"Is it pretty? Saber, this white hat is actually an unexpected match with purple hair, which is very cute. ”

"Yes, it's a good match for this young lady."

"yes, what does Sakura think?"

"I, like, thank you."

Right.

Alice Phil threw a very happy look at Natsume, and made a V gesture to Natsume with some pride.

Natsume also waved at her, raising the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile on his face.

Kuyu Maiya is still in the hospital, and she should be able to move recently, and once she recovers, it is also time to start acting here. (To be continued......)
