Under the Root

"I am very grateful to the two ladies for coming here at Your Majesty's invitation." As a courtesy of the host, Tokiomi graciously offered the opening remarks.

"Stop talking nonsense, Tohsaka Tokiomi. Tell me, why did you negotiate with us before the Holy Grail War reached the halfway point?" The one named Irisviel asked the question in a cold and clear voice. female.

"Didn't I tell you all the reasons, why bother to ask?" Tosaka Tokiomi replied without changing his expression.

"Archer and Saber are needed to join forces just to deal with mere caster?" Irisviel questioned.

"No, it's Lancer and Caster. Just today, we confirmed that Lancer has become the subordinate of Caster Master Li Lin." Tokiomi calmly pointed out Irisviel's mistake.

"Oh? It turns out that your servant is so vulnerable that he doesn't even have the confidence to fight against Lancer and Caster. If that's the case, honestly handing over the Command Seals and hiding in the Holy Church would be a way out." Irisviel recklessly Said.

"Ai Li!" Artoria, who was next to Irisviel, couldn't help pulling her arm. No matter what, what Irisviel said now was provocative rather than negotiating, which was not appropriate. The strategy decided before Irisviel left.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Irisviel finally came to her senses. She gave Artoria a sorry look, turned to her and said, "Saber, I'm not in a good state today. Can I trouble you to do it for me?" Let's negotiate."

"Well, Irisviel, it seems that your injury has not fully recovered." Artoria showed a look of understanding, and then walked forward, covering Irisviel's body behind her.

"For the radical remarks just now, I only apologize on behalf of my master. I hope you don't take offense." Although she said this, Arturia's eyes were fixed on Gilgamesh. It is doubtful whether the proud Heroic Spirit can accept the apology.

"nothing."

Gilgamesh skipped over the previous unhappiness lightly with such a sentence, but his next sentence made Irisviel's face change drastically: "After all, you are already very restrained to speak to me in this tone, aren't you?" ? An artificial human who has received a 'gift'."

Chapter 38 Be My Girlfriend

Saturday, Saturday, the sky is still dark.

Irisviel and Artoria walked side by side on the silent commercial street.

Previously, the alliance negotiations with Tohsaka Tokiomi had been successfully concluded.Although it was a bit unpleasant at the beginning, after all, the combination of Caster and Lancer is very troublesome even in the eyes of Artoria and Kiritsugu.

Therefore, when both parties have this intention.The temporary covenant, which was only implemented until the "defeat of Liudong Temple" forces, was thus established.

But what exactly is the "gift", I really care about it.While guarding Irisviel, Artoria was thinking secretly in her heart.

Although the King of Heroes did not speak again after only mentioning Ai Li, but combined with Ai Li's previous attitude, this situation has to make people care.

"What's the matter, Saber, do you feel cold?"

There was also a warm scarf around Artoria's delicate neck.

Artoria raised her head reflexively, and saw Irisviel's concerned eyes.

"No, as a heroic spirit, I won't feel cold just because of this temperature." Arturia smiled gently at Irisviel, gently pulled the white scarf, and wrapped it around Irisviel's again. neck.

"On the contrary, Ellie, your injury has just healed, so it's better not to catch a cold just in case."

"As a woman in the Northland, she won't fall down because of this coldness." Irisviel blinked playfully, and then stubbornly put the scarf on Artoria again.

"Oh..." Artoria sighed helplessly.Can only accept this unnecessary gift.

"However, what's the matter with you, Saber? You looked a little absent-minded just now?" Irisviel asked.

"Eri, the King of Heroes..." Arturia carefully observed Irisviel's expression.

"King of Heroes, what's wrong with him?" Irisviel asked as usual, as if the offensive words just now didn't come from her mouth.

"No, it's nothing." Artoria opened her mouth and swallowed back what she wanted to ask.Everyone has things they don't want others to know.As long as Ai Li is still the same Ai Li, why should I worry in vain?

"Since there is no problem, let's take this opportunity to go around together. It must be very interesting."

Irisviel walked forward without waiting for Arturia to reply.Her pace is crisp and clear.Even Artoria's footsteps beside her were a little messed up.

"Ai Li, don't take it lightly. You haven't forgotten what happened before, right?" Arturia hurried forward to try to stop Irisviel's reckless behavior.

"I trust you, Saber, if it were you, you would definitely protect me, wouldn't you?" Irisviel looked at Artoria with tender eyes, without any hesitation in her words.

However, that night.Guilt once again captured Artoria's heart.The person in front of him trusts him so much, but he...

"Can I ask you? Saber, even if it's only once, I want to take a good look at this world." Irisviel said.

"Once? What do you mean?" Arturia was stunned on the spot as if she didn't understand.

"This is the first time in my life that I am free to walk in the outside world. I have been in my grandfather's castle before, and I have never gone out. So Saber, can you forgive my little waywardness?"

Irisviel showed a lonely smile, and looked longingly into the distance, as if there was something sublime there.

Artoria lowered her eyes quietly and nodded.Then she bent her thin elbow and pointed at Irisviel.

"Saber?"

"Although I am here for the first time, it is the duty of a knight to protect the princess. Although I am not good enough, I am trying my best. Please."

"Thank you."

Irisviel's eyes flashed with emotion, and then she hooked Saber's arm.

The night is still long.
