Further west in the deep mountainous area of Fuyuki City, a long national highway stretches westward with its back to the city and the lights of the city. At the front of the road, an untouched forest awaits visitors. Along this road across the county border, the national highway winds quietly ahead.

Although there are two-way lanes, there are few signs of oncoming cars on national highways with sparse street lights. The national highway at midnight seems to have been forgotten in this silence.

In the silence of the night, a silver beast galloped in.

Mercedes? Mercedes 300SL. Her elegant, streamlined body is as steady as a lady, and the roar of the side-by-side six-cylinder engine is as majestic as a beast.

"Hey, that's pretty fast, isn't it? This"

Alice Field, holding the steering wheel with a smug smile on her face, said. Saber, who was sitting in the assistant's seat with a nervous expression, could only reluctantly squeeze out a smile and nodded.

"Still can't figure out what happened tonight?"

Alice Phil noticed Saber's situation and couldn't help but ask.

"Emiya Kiritsugu......" Listening to Alice Phil's words, Saber's brows immediately furrowed tightly, "I didn't expect him to do such a thing." ”

Yes, such a despicable thing. Saber thought to himself. I thought that I would fight with Alice Phil and Lancer in a duel that turned into a battle full of traps.

"Since Kiritsugu is here, why don't you come out? Why do you want to peep at the other party's master with a sniper rifle on the side? Why do you want to let yourself and lancer work together to attack Liu Mengchao? Was it because he suddenly appeared and stopped this dishonorable battle? ”

This sentence was hidden in Saber's heart and never spoke. The face as white and smooth as porcelain is full of doubts and dissatisfaction, but although I don't want to, the knighthood that Saber is proud of is still supporting this girl. Thou shalt not betray the Lord. This is what Saber asks of her subjects, and she leads by example, even if there are no more of her knights in this world.

"Kiritsugu...... He has a lot of ideals......" Alice Phil said softly, although her face was full of determination, Saber still vaguely felt that Alice Phil was not very sure of herself.

"At the very least, please protect me until the battle begins." Alice Phil slapped the steering wheel, directly let the car change lanes, and drove on the right. "Regarding the war between masters, I hope you can leave it to Kiritsugu to complete."

"Is there a war between masters?" Saber nodded slowly. Maybe for Emiya Kiritsugu, he is only responsible for solving the master as an opponent, and he is the servant who is responsible for protecting Alice Phil before this. There was no conflict between these two points, except that he was a little disdainful of Emiya Kiritsu's methods.

"Okay...... It's not a good thing to say, but I sometimes think it would be nice if Alice Phil was my master. ”

Saber said with a smile, the girl who was still on the battlefield just now. At this time, the smile is so beautiful, like an orchid blooming quietly by the lake in the moonlight. No one knows, but it's so enchanting and tranquil.

"That's right." As if to ease the dispute he had just had with Alice Phil about Emiya Kiritsugu, Saber changed the subject, "Wait a minute, Alice Phil. You haven't been driving on the left side of the road, have you? ”

"Ah, yes."

Alice Phil nodded casually as if she had just made a very small mistake. Then he slammed the steering wheel and changed the route back. For Alice Phil, who has never been out of Einzbellen since she was born, it is of course the first time to drive on the road like this. Saber had been keeping an eye on him since the moment, and it was clear that Alice Fell didn't understand the road signs. Although it is legal to pass on the left. But it seems that Alice Phil doesn't even know this.

But luckily...... Saber cast his gaze ahead.

The red signal light was flashing again and again in front of them.

“…… Haven't you arrived at the Einz Bellen annex near here? ”

"It's said to be only an hour's drive, so if you get there, you should be able to see it!"

For Saber, he just wanted to end a dangerous journey like this as quickly. It's a blessing that there are no cars coming from the opposite side of the aisle late at night, but the aisle is very curved, which is still very dangerous for high-speed vehicles. Saber's blood was filled with the nervousness of a state of imminent battle. As a servant, she has extraordinary reflexes and strength, and if there is any danger, she can quickly pick up Alice Phil and escape from the car. But in that case, this luxury car will definitely fall into a mess of scrap metal, right? This is at odds with Saber's long-standing view of thrift.

Thinking of this, Saber subconsciously said, "...... It would be nice to hire a driver."

"That's not going to work. It's not that there's no point in hiring a driver, it's that it's too dangerous. After all, once you enter Fuyuki City, you may be attacked by other masters at any time. Involving innocent people is something Saber doesn't want to see. Alice Fell said with a smile, and there seemed to be a light in her eyes.

"Unwilling to involve ordinary people in the Holy Grail War? Does Emiya Kiritsugu think the same way? Saber immediately said anxiously, his tone so hurried. Being able to protect ordinary people is also a knight's virtue.

If Emiya Kiritsugu thinks the same way, he's a good guy.

Saber thought to himself.

"That's right." Alice Phil smiled and said, "It's the same for Kiritsugu, his wish is very ambitious, and in his opinion, it can only be achieved with the help of the Holy Grail." ”

With the help of the Holy Grail......

Saber nodded slowly, as if he understood some of Emiya's intentions. Although he still disagrees with the man's methods, his ideals are similar to his own in some ways.

Just as Saber was pondering Emiya's intentions, she suddenly screamed.

"Stop!"

"Huh?"

Alice Field, who was suddenly overwhelmed by Saber's warning, asked blankly. Saber didn't bother to explain to her. Lean straight into the driver's seat, grab the steering wheel with one hand, and then stretch out your left foot and press the brakes to the ground.

The reason why Saber was able to make a judgment in an instant and control this rampaging machine was because she had riding skills as a servant. She is fully aware of all known and unknown operations of the multiplier props.

The tires made a screeching sound against the asphalt, and the car finally came to a stop after sliding on the road for a while.

"Saber, that's—"

At the front of the road, illuminated by Mercedes headlights, a figure with a strange posture appeared. Alice Phil, who saw this, immediately cried out.

I saw that the figure in front of him was tall and straight, standing in the middle of the road, as if the Mercedes-Benz that was about to crash directly into him was just an insignificant feather.

He was dressed in an old-fashioned luxurious gown, covered in scarlet patterns on the pitch-black gown, as if someone had slit his wrists. Smear on it as if it were a painting.

In addition to this, the most impressive thing about this man is his eyes.

Big, it's just scary. With completely bulging eyes and unusually large pupils, it looks like a nocturnal monster that only appears in ancient myths and stories.

Saber looked up and down at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him, turned to Alice Phil and said, "You will get down as soon as I get out of the car." All in all don't get too far away from me."

Saber always felt that this man who suddenly appeared in front of him brought him a sense of danger.

Saber opened the car door and stepped into the cold night.

The night breeze rustled the trees, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt tires from friction. The figure in front of him was unlike anything I had seen before.

Thanks for the blessing of that night. I've already seen Lancer, Rider, as well as the unknown Liu Mengchao and the glittering Heroic Spirit. Although he still can't figure out the positions of the two servants, Saber always feels that these two people will not leave the Archer and the Assassin.

Maybe Liu Mengchao is another job agency.

Saber thought to himself. He slowly drew his long sword.

The Servant in front of him, who neither escaped nor hid, but stood in front of him openly, should not seem to be an Assassin, so from the perspective of exclusion, the most common conclusion can only be reached, that is, the figure in front of him is Caster.

But.

Is the expression of a warrior about to fight on his face?

The bewildered Knight King observed the other party's appearance again.

The other party was laughing, laughing for no apparent reason. And it wasn't like the smile of a warrior who died generously. Why is this Caster smiling like that? It's like a long-lost brother reunited. A flawless smile sparkled on his face full of joy.

And just when Saber was confused, Caster in front of him made an even more puzzling move.

Caster bowed his head respectfully, knelt on the asphalt as if he had met the king's courtiers, and said:

"I've been waiting for a long time. Her Highness the Holy Maiden"

Listening to the words of the sudden Caster, Saber couldn't help but frown.

Not only because of the confusion that Caster had caused him, but vaguely, Saber felt that someone was spying on him from a distance.

Is it the sixth sense?

Saber frowned and didn't say a word.

"Has it been discovered?"

In the distance, in the treetops, a man in a scarlet trench coat chuckled. (To be continued......)
