Volume 3 The Place Closest to the Sky Chapter 23 The Situation Changes Suddenly

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The warm afternoon sunlight gently warms the exterior wall of the warehouse, gradually sloping towards the west.

    But the air in the warehouse is still silent and cold.  A few rays of sunlight came in through the small skylight, and the warehouse seemed to be bathed in the faint twilight of dusk.

    Saber sat on the ground against the wall, waiting for that moment to come.

    In the magic circle beside her, Irisviel was still lying on her back with her hands folded in front of her chest.  She is still sleeping.  Ever since he brought her here in the morning, Saber had been staring at her sleeping side face motionlessly.

    Yesterday, will the magic circle she and Irisviel drew together work as expected?

    For Irisviel, who is an android, resting in this magic circle seems to be the only way to recuperate.  In the past, ceremonies would have been held at the same time, but as things stand now, that seems to be very far away in the past.

    It¡¯s been a really long night.

    The total destruction of Assassin and the disappearance of Caster.

    The winner was decided in a decisive battle between the cavalier and the rider, and the cavalier was defeated.  Did that knight actually lose, that dazzling knight?

    Saber knew that now was not the time to think about this. After all, there was no doubt about Rider's power.

    After that, there was a tough but enjoyable duel with Lancer. Lancer was indeed an excellent knight.  Even now, the sound of guns and swords fighting on the battlefield can still be heard in my ears.  It's a pity that he still hasn't found a good lord.

    In the end, Berserker was killed and Archer was injured.  According to the information sent by Kiritsugu, Berserker's new master seemed not to take Berserker seriously at all.  This is also the most mysterious thing at present.  What happened, that kind of blind attack with no tactics at all and no backup at all.  Is it possible that Berserker is not an important combat power?

    To be honest, that berserker gave her a very special feeling, as if she had seen that black knight somewhere.

    That is why.  Last night, the Holy Grail War made great progress. Four servants withdrew from the battle and one was completely missing.  No matter what the battle situation is, Saber has fulfilled her most important responsibility.

    It would be a lie to say I¡¯m not tired.  But now she was more worried about Irisviel's condition.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ¨C???????????????????????????????????????????? ¨C????? Remember that there have been signs since morning.  Irisviel calls this a functional flaw in the android.  But Saber couldn't figure out what happened yesterday that caused her physical condition to suddenly deteriorate.  It wasn't because she was injured or because she did too strenuous exercise.  If this happens to a master who has officially concluded a contract with Saber, it is most likely due to Saber's fatigue and increased supply of magic power, which has increased the burden on the master.  But if that were the case, the one who fell should not be Irisviel as the acting master, but Kiritsugu.

    The soft sunlight shines in through the skylight, and as it passes noon, the angle of the sunlight gradually changes.

    Finally - Irisviel moved slightly, and the still air seemed to ripple.

    Saber immediately opened her eyes wide and saw Irisviel moaning uncomfortably as she slowly sat up.

    ¡°¡­saber¡­?¡±

    She lazily brushed away the silver hair from her eyes, staring blankly at Saber who was guarding her.

    "Irisviel, how is your health?"

    "Uh, um. It should be fine."

    This is impossible, Saber was about to refute, but saw that the blood color on Irisviel's face had returned to its usual healthy state.  It's hard to imagine that she was still asleep just now.

    Ah, she stretched out a little, as if she woke up happily in the morning after getting enough rest.

    "Well - it seems I have made you worried."

    "No, no. It would be great if everything is finebut"

    "Well, I understand what you want to say, Saber."

    Irisviel smiled bitterly, combed her long hair with her hands, and straightened her clothes that were a little messy.

    "It seems that a lot of problems have arisen since I got here. If I just stay quietly like this, it should be fine, but¡ª¡ªsaber, I may not be able to support you by your side in the future."

    "Irisviel"

    Irisviel said somewhat dejectedly, which actually surprised Saber slightly.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, although it¡¯s embarrassing, but compared to being a burden to you¡ª¡ª¡±

    "No, that's not the case. I hope you can be more careful about your body. It's all my fault. I think this is a reminder to me that it's because I keep fighting against you that you"

      Saber stopped, fearing that what she said next would hurt her.  Irisviel smiled lightly and said.

    "You don't have to worry about this. We artificial beings are different from humans and have a very clear understanding of our own body structure. Just like a car, if a car doesn't light up to warn you when it runs out of fuel, then it's really broken down."

    ""

    Although this is correct, the metaphor is not appropriate enough.  Saber fell silent gloomily upon hearing this.  Then she looked at Irisviel from the front with very serious eyes.

    "Irisviel. Although you are indeed an artificial human, I have never thought of treating you differently from ordinary humans. So no matter what, you don't need to describe yourself as so humble."

    Saber put it bluntly.  This time Irisviel gave in.

    "Saber is so gentle."

    "Everyone who has come into contact with you will think so. Irisviel, you are a very charming person."

    Saber deliberately joked in a light tone in order to make the conversation less heavy.

    "For nvxing, there will always be discomforts in the body of one kind or another, so you don't have to be embarrassed."

    When she said this, even Irisviel could only smile in embarrassment.

    "If you put it like that, Saber, you are also a daughter¡ª¡ªwell, wouldn't it be troublesome? At that time, you have to act as a man."

    "No, this is-"

    Seeing that the smile on Irisviel's face had returned to the past, Saber couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so she continued in a more relaxed tone than usual.

    "You don't know, I was protected by the Noble Phantasm during my lifetime. Not to mention disasters, even aging stopped, so I won't have any discomfort on my body. Even after ten years, I will still be like this."

    ""

    Speaking of this, Saber suddenly noticed that Irisviel's expression became worried, as if she was a little uncomfortable, so she hurriedly stopped talking.

    Although she didn¡¯t understand why this small talk topic made her depressed, Saber discovered that Irisviel was not in the mood to talk or laugh with her at all.

    Indeed, Saber doesn¡¯t know the nature of the Holy Grail. It seems that the magic power of the defeated heroic spirits has flowed back into Irisviel¡¯s body, and the Holy Grail system has begun to work.  Now, in Irisviel's body, there should be assassin, lancer, berserker, and

    "Saber" Irisviel said to Saber solemnly. Because her expression was too serious, Saber swallowed the words she had just intended to comfort her. Irisviel spoke slowly, which made it difficult for Saber.  Accepted words: "It is true that Cavalier was defeated by Rider, but now I have this suspicion. First, he may have pretended to die in battle, and second he is not a heroic spirit."

    "¡ª¡ª!" Among these heroic spirits, who has given Saber a positive impression is none other than Lancer and Cavalier, but now such an accident has occurred.  As a knight, it is difficult to accept whether he is cheating death on the battlefield or using his identity as a lie in front of the heroes. It would be understandable if he were an assassin or a caster, but as a knight, it is actually  "How, how is it possiblethat is an excellent knight!"

    "I'm sorry, Saber, there are only these two possibilities Maybe that knight also has his own reasons, but" Aliceviel paused, "Maybe there is some huge conspiracy behind this, so that such a knight  The knights have to surrender, and then, there may be a conspiracy that is worthless compared to the combat power of Berserker"

    "" Saber knelt on one knee in front of Irisviel, "I swore that I would protect you until the end, and I would definitely bring you the Holy Grail."

    "Yes, I believe it. Now, Saber, to me, the Holy Grail is equivalent to myself. Because from the moment I was born, I have had a [vessel] that can make it come."

    After hearing what Irisviel said, Saber nodded.

    "I heard, your mission is [Guardian of the Instrument]."

    However, Saber and she acted together 24 hours a day, but we still don¡¯t know how and where she hid the [Holy Grail Instrument].  Since they trusted each other, there was no need for her to ask.  After Saber wins all the battles, all she has to do is take the [Weapon] from her hand.

    "So, no matter what happens, I hope that my [baby] can be in the hands of the people I love - Kiritsugu, and you, Saber."

    Irisviel said like a prayer, Saber nodded resolutely.

    "Before, I had sworn to protect you when I was first summoned,"And to win the final victory.  I have no intention of breaking that oath.  No matter what kind of crises and conspiracies we face next.  "

    ""

    Irisviel could only smile and nodded with an ambiguous attitude.

    If you want to realize the original goal of [The Founding of the Three Families] - [reach the source], you must use a command spell to require Saber, who defeated all the Servants, to commit suicide, and use all seven heroic spirits as sacrifices to the Holy Grail to end the war.  However, what Irisviel and Kiritsugu placed their hope in the Holy Grail was not such a wish.  Although the desire to "change the world" to end all struggles seems very huge, in the end it cannot escape the scope of "miracles".  The changes that occur as a result can only be carried out on the "inner side of the world" at most, which is much easier than the "outside" of the world where the target is the "source vortex".  But if you just want to achieve miracles in the real world, then there is no need for the ancient Saint of Winter woman herself to be the [instrument] to fully awaken the Great Holy Grail.  As long as the other six hostile Servants can be defeated, it will be enough to replenish the magic power to make Kiritsugu and Saber's wishes come true.

    However, the point is not here now. I originally thought that there was an extra cavalier, and there was an eighth heroic spirit in history, but in this current state, what else, what kind of huge shadow is lurking

    The remaining heroic spirits saber, archer, rider, caster.  Among them, Caster was nothing to worry about. Irisviel thought of Kino, who had no hesitation in protecting them when faced with the siege of the Assassins.

    I really hope it¡¯s not you
