"Hoo ......"

Emiya Kiritsugu took a deep breath, he shouldn't have been so nervous, but when he thought that what he was going to summon next was a servant who was enough to tear through the sky and break steel and jade, the fear from instinct still rose to his mind along with reason.

As a self-proclaimed magician, Emiya Kiritsugu naturally won't be like other magicians, simply treating the servants as summoned and manipulated at will, they are all big heroes with special personalities, and if they don't match, it will only cause more serious consequences.

The spell in his hand is the best proof of this, if it weren't for this thing, the difference between the status of the servant and the master might not be so obvious.

To be honest, he was more interested in the caster and assassin classes, but Ahad was right, this was not the assassination of the past, but the changing battlefield, and a powerful Heroic Spirit could maximize his margin for error.

"Kiritsugu...... The time is coming. ”

"I see."

Under Alice Fair's worried gaze, Emiya Kiritsugu raised her right hand.

"Proclamation ——!"

The chills and pain that surround the whole body easily swept in, which was a sign that the magic circuit was being circulated with all its might, however, these exertions were nothing compared to the miracle to be accomplished.

Emiya Kiritsugu chanted the summoned spirit in a deep voice, and even as the wind formed by the atmosphere shook everything around him, he didn't pause in the slightest, as if he were just a part of the ritual.

"Thou art the seven heavens of the three great spirits, from the wheel of restraint, the guardian of the balance—"

With the end of the words, Emiya Kiritsugu felt that the magic power in his body had accelerated to the limit.

In the swirling wind, Alice Phil, who was guarding the side, narrowed her eyes slightly, allowing herself to retain as much vision as possible in the brilliant light of the summoning array.

But her gaze wasn't focused on the summoning array, but on the scabbard of the altar behind it, and she hadn't seen anything like it since that day, as if it were really just an illusion.

But when she thought of Illya's recent abnormality, Alice Fell still couldn't put her mind at ease.

As she was worried, the light of the circle faded out, and a white mist slowly spread along with the figure.

Wearing a close-fitting silver-white armor and a hood, a figure that could not be seen clearly appeared in front of the circle.

This caused Emiya Kiritsugu to let out a gasp that he didn't know whether it was relief or relief, and he examined the figure in front of him with his sharp gaze.

As if noticing Emiya Kiritsugu's gaze, the figure took off his hood and revealed his full appearance.

With short blond hair and emerald eyes, although it is feminine, the appearance of this figure is undoubtedly handsome, with an enviable, sunny handsomeness.

Then, he looked at Kiritsugu Emiya, who had the deepest connection with him, and spoke.

"Servant Saber, follow the call, and ask - are you my Master?"

——

In the morning in the Einzberen Forest, in front of the sunny table, the unarmed Saber is dining with Alice Phil.

Although the speed of eating can be called fast, Saber's every move has a natural and elegant demeanor, which makes him look majestic.

As an android, Alice Phil, who doesn't have a high demand for this aspect, just quietly drank black tea and put the curious Illya on her lap.

"Isn't it okay for Master to leave first like this?"

After finishing the meal, Saber finally asked first, "In this Holy Grail War, if you are too far away from the servants, you will be picked up by other enemies, right?" ”

"Well, from a common sense point of view, maybe so, but that man's talent in this area is far superior to mine, and I trust him."

Although as a specialized product of the Little Holy Grail, Alice Phil is also proficient in alchemy magic, and will definitely not lag behind in battle, but compared to Emiya Kiritsugu, it is still much worse.

"It seems that I still don't have his trust."

Saber grimaced a slight frown, and his sun-like smile narrowed a little, but even so, the chilling feeling still showed that he was a powerful knight.

Even if there is no distance limit between the contract between the Heroic Spirit and the Master, this attitude of acting alone is the best illustration.

Since he was summoned the other night, after confirming the relationship with the Master, Emiya Kiritsugu left in a hurry, and the explanation of the specific situation was handed over to Alice Phil, as if he was rejecting the Heroic Spirit he had summoned.

"You must be dissatisfied, aren't you? But, trust him, I can assure you, he just looks cold. ”

If you want to say that you don't trust Saber, then you really wronged Emiya Kiritsugu, his quality as a master is not excellent, but even so, in addition to luck, Saber's other attributes are the top, and in terms of durability, it has an A+ level, which means that as long as the supply of the master's magic power is sufficient, even in the face of other rare heroes, this knight can still be more than one enemy.

No matter which way you look at it, Emiya Kiritsugu can't find a place to pick a thorn.

The reason why he maintained such an indifferent attitude was just to prevent a noble heroic spirit like the Knight King from causing discord between the master and the slave due to such a despicable act as the assassination of the master.

He and Alice Phil will remain in this pattern until the Master's start to decrease.

"Or is it? Saber, are you not happy with me being the temporary master? ”

Seeing Saber's depressed mood, Alice Phil immediately began to round up in a teasing tone.

"Of course not, I'm glad Alice Phil has you as my Master." For Alice Phil, who was born to breathe nobility as air, it was like a princess of Saber's time, and, for some reason, most of the women around him were reliable, whether it was a teacher or a sister.

For a well-bred and pure-hearted woman like Alice Phil, she was like an angel to him, so even without a contract, Saber exercised his master-servant oath to her in the interests of a knight.

"Hmph, being praised like this by the legendary Knight King Arthur Pendragon, does it seem that I am also very powerful?"

Alice Fell smiled brightly, her eyes softened a little, she reached out and gently stroked Illya's head.

Saber's appearance can be said to relieve a piece of her heart, everything about this heroic spirit is normal, whether it is gender, strength, or noble character.

It seems that the afterimage of the scabbard that day was indeed just her illusion, so it seems that Kiritsugu, who deliberately concealed the existence of the scabbard from Saber and took it to Fuyuki City first, did not have to worry too much.

"Because you deserve this compliment, but the name Arthur Pendragon is my most widely known name, Alice Phil, you can call me Atolis, this is my real name, but please call me Saber when I fight."

"Each other, Atolis, this time we must win the final victory!"

"Hmm," Saber smiled softly, then looked at Eliya in Alice Phil's arms with a puzzled look.

"Although it may be that I am nosy, is it okay for Ling Qianjin to be like this?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Saber's words, Alice Fell looked at Illya in her arms with hindsight, and after being held in her arms, she looked at Saber and the dining table curiously at first, but later, as usual, obediently stared at the direction of Fuyuki City and did not move.

But this time it was different, and when she saw Illya's current movements, Alice Fell understood why Saber was questioning.

Between Illya's breaths, a scorching stream of flame erupted from her mouth, retracting and releasing like a toy, but she still stared at the distant sky as if she hadn't noticed, as if she had felt something.

"Illya? What are you looking at? ”

Alice Fell gently shook her daughter and brought her back to her senses.

"Mom?" Illya came back to her senses, with a holy and joyful expression, and uttered words that made Alice Fell into an ice cave.

"Don't you feel it? Daddy, it's born. ”
