"Are you alright? Alice Fell. ”

Saber, who was helping Alice Phil's shoulders, asked in a concerned tone.

"Well, it's okay, I was just taken aback, I didn't expect such a mess of guests to visit during the day."

Alice Fell smiled and looked back at the golden girl in silver armor, and said with a sense of relief.

"It's okay, Alice Phil, I'll go out to meet the enemy, just stay by my side."

Alice Fell nodded.

Staying with Saber would mean that she would have to face the enemy herself, but the battlefield was a safer place for Alice Fell than the castle, because her trusting servant was there to protect her.

With Saber's place, no matter how dangerous it is, Alice Phil thinks it's safe.

With this in mind, Alice Phil quickened her pace and followed Saber, and the two girls galloped together through the corridors of the castle, aiming at the enemies outside the castle.

Since it was the other party attacking from the front, and there was no sign of concealment, he should not choose to sneak attack.

"The thunder just now, and this almost unplanned tactic...... The uninvited enemy should be rider. ”

"Well, I think so."

Alice Phil, who was running in the hallway, recalled the appearance of the rider's treasure "Kamui Wheel" that she had witnessed in Warehouse Street the night before.

The sound of the sacred cow chariot entwined with purple thunder and lightning was eighty percent similar to the sound outside the castle at this time.

"Hey, Knight King! I'm here to meet you, come out, huh? ”

This rough voice came from the front courtyard hall, and it seemed that the other party had already stepped into the main entrance, not far from himself and the others.

There was no doubt that the owner of that gruff voice was Iskandar himself, the king of conquest, but Saber listened to his soulful cry and felt that it did not at all look like that of a warrior about to fight.

However, Saber did not dare to slack off, and as she ran, she summoned the Sword of Victory of the Oath hidden in the Wind King's enchantment into her hand, and her whole body tensed.

When Alice Phil and Saber finally made their way through the hallway to the entrance...... The second girl could see clearly against the bright and excessive light of the sun, and stood tall in the courtyard with the figure of the enemy servant.

For a moment, the atmosphere between Rider and Saber was very deadlocked, and the two heroes who met suddenly didn't know what to say.

“......”

"Yo, Saber, I saw the castle here after I saw the trace of the Heroic Spirit around here, and the layout is really magnificent, but it's a mess outside—how did it happen, huh?"

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Rider smiled unashamedly and bared his teeth, and then he moved his neck in a deliberate manner.

"By the way, because there are too many trees in the forest, it is too inconvenient to enter and exit, and I almost got lost before I got to the gate of this castle, so I cut some for you, thank me, I made the view of this castle much better."

"Rider, you ...... guy"

Saber snapped.

Although the behavior of this unscrupulous heroic spirit is reckless, in the face of this kind of inexplicable enemy, Saber can't afford to fight at the moment.

Therefore, for a while, Saber didn't know how to talk to this rider.

Instead, Rider looked at Saber's silver armor and said with a surprised frown.

"Hey, Knight King, aren't you going to change into a modern outfit today? Don't wear that stiff armor all the time, it's not fashionable anymore. ”

“......！？”

Saber glanced at the large white T-shirt and the obviously mismatched jeans that Rider was wearing, and was a little puzzled.

Does Rider think that wearing a white T-shirt and jeans is the fashion now?

Saber felt that Rider's way of thinking and aesthetics was completely different from his own.

Princess Webb, who was sitting on the bullock cart, was now half-hiding behind the huge body of the rider, looking up at Alice Fell and Saber from time to time.

Looking at Webber's expression, he was clearly afraid of Saber and Alice Phil.

I'm afraid that Webb at this moment clearly regrets the experiments he did before.

After conducting the experiment, Webb had already found out that the caster, who was believed to be the Eighth Heroic Spirit, had experienced a fierce battle here.

After Webb told the news to his Heroic Rider, the impulsive Rider drove in a rage, despite Webb's objections.

So there was the previous scene.

If Webb had known that Rider would have come here so recklessly, he would not have told Rider the information he had obtained through his experiments.

It's a pity that even if Weber wants to regret it now, he doesn't have a chance.

As for the clothes on the rider, Saber standing opposite the rider would definitely not have thought that the reason why the rider in front of him changed into modern clothes was actually because the rider saw Saber in a suit before.

The modern Western-style clothes worn on Saber's body were very commensurate, so Rider had the idea to follow suit.

And what made Saber and Alice Phil even more strange was what Rider was holding in his hand at this time, not a weapon.

It was a wooden barrel.

Whether you look at it from the outside or smell it, it's a wooden cask with red wine in it.

The rider who easily clamped the keg of wine under his arm didn't look like he was here to fight at all, and the image was almost like a sake brewery owner who had come to deliver goods.

"You ......"

Saber, who sensed the stopper, took a deep breath, looked away from the barrel, and said calmly.

"Rider, what are you doing here?"

"Haha, Saber, don't you understand after reading this keg? Of course I'm here for you to drink! ”

Rider patted the barrel under his armpit and smiled heartily.

"Hey, don't be stupid there, show us the way, is there a suitable courtyard for a banquet? There should be plenty of room in this castle for a drinking feast, Saber. ”

"This ......"

Saber sighed helplessly, and the anger and will to fight that had been stored in his chest were gone.

Looking at the seemingly innocent opponent in front of him, a meticulous knight like Saber must not be able to maintain his fighting spirit.

"Alice Phil, what should I do?"

Saber turned his head and left the decision on the matter to Alice Phil.

It's just that Alice Phil is also confused at this time, and she doesn't know how to solve it for a while.

Ignoring the anger at the killing of the children in the forest, Alice Phil, like Saber, couldn't afford to fight anyway after seeing Rider's grinning face.

"That conquering king, he doesn't look like the kind of person who can set traps, is he, is he really just trying to drink this time?"

Alice Fell was silent for a moment, silently thinking about what she would do if Kiritsugu also encountered this situation.

The rider on the other side once said in front of the heroic spirits that he would wait for Saber to agree in the future, and he and Saber would have a dignified separation between the two of them, and would not make some small moves.

Normally, the Heroic Spirits will abide by what has been agreed upon with the pride and self-esteem of the Heroic Spirits, so the sudden appearance of the Rider tonight and his attitude of not fighting are really puzzling.

"Does that rider want to take a soft policy against Saber first, and then make a surprise attack?"

Alice Fell quietly asked Saber for advice.

"No, the King of Conquest shouldn't do such a despicable thing, this should be a challenge to me."

Saber, who should have lost his fighting spirit, became serious for some reason at this moment, and his holy green eyes looked directly into the eyes of the rider opposite without flinching.

"Challenge?"

"Yes...... I was a king, and he was a king, and if our king were to divide the table between high and low, it would be a bloodless 'battle'. ”

Saber answered Alice Phil's questions.

Perhaps hearing Saber's words, the King of Conquest, who was holding the barrel, nodded with a smile and said.

"Hehe, Saber, it's good to understand."

"It's daytime, and I don't have any plans to fight each other for the time being, so let's use wine to fight the victory, Knight King, I won't let you go tonight, get ready."

"Interesting offer, I accepted, rider."

Saber, who resolutely responded, exuded a fighting spirit as if he were on the battlefield.

Although the two heroic spirits did not blatantly fight, the determination contained in their eyes was not child's play.

It was only now that Alice Fell realized that the drinking that Rider was talking about was not a joke, but another real "battle" between kings and kings.

"Hey, hello,......, yes, I'm your employer."

After leaving the park, Liu Ling, who was walking on the road, suddenly received a call from the secret whistle he had paid for.

From the call, Liu Ling learned that the secret whistle seemed to have two clues of heroic spirits in the forest last night.
