Final Trial of Mankind

"This is my first time going out."

"what?"

Saber was stunned on the spot as if she didn't understand.

"I mean this is the first time I've been out into the outside world since I was born!"

"Then you have been staying in that city before?"

Irisviel lightly nodded her drooping head, as if she had made a mistake.

"I'm just a doll made for the Holy Grail War, so there's no need to go out, grandpa.

said it to me. "

The life that Saber experienced as Artoria was not happy, and for the ice-bound

Saber couldn't help feeling sympathetic to the people in the city who had been imprisoned since birth.

"However, it's not that I don't know everything, Kiritsugu often brings me some movies and photos, and

Tell me a lot of stories about the outside world, such as New York, Paris, where many people live in various ways

He told me about life, and of course, he also talked about Japan. "

Irisviel showed a lonely smile, looking longingly at the hurried people around.

"But if I saw it with my own eyes, it was the first time, so I was very happy, and it passed without knowing it.

Head, I'm so sorry. " Saber quietly lowered her gaze, nodded, and then she bent her thin elbows,

Pointing to Irisviel.

"Saber?"

"Although it's my first time here, protecting the princess is the duty of a knight, although I can't reach it.

But I'm trying too, please. "

"Thank you." Irisviel's eyes flashed with joy, and then she hooked Saber's hand

arm.

It's a long time before night.

009 Beautiful young woman shopping

Even in the heart of the bustling area, the combination of Saber and Irisviel is so striking.

The elegant silver-haired girl in fancy clothes, and the exquisite and beautiful boy who was hooked by the girl's arm, even in the

You may not be able to witness such a perfect combination at a reception party where movie stars gather.

Images that could only be seen on the screen in the past are now being staged vividly in a certain city in Japan.

On the street, passers-by often stop as long as they take a look.

The two just walked indifferently, not as close as lovers, nor as excited as tourists, just walking along

Walking on the street, occasionally they would stop, smiling and looking at the glittering windows under the setting sun,

Or looking curiously at the displays in the display window.

But they just watched, but never entered any store. They were like bystanders, although walking on this road

On the street, but not in the turmoil.

The winter sun has finally set completely, and the street is covered with another layer of color by the night. When you see the colorful

Irisviel was mesmerized by the constantly flickering neon lights of the landscape.

There are countless cities in the world whose night view is far better than Fuyuki City, but for Irisviel, his double

All that you see with your own eyes is the most beautiful and precious treasure.

"It's so beautiful. As long as there are many people, the night will become so beautiful!"

Irisviel couldn't help muttering to herself excitedly, while Saber nodded speechlessly.

For her, this scenery, which is far from the era she used to live in, also brought her

There was quite a lot of emotion, but there was always a string in her mind that was tense.

This is enemy territory, and that has never changed.

Saber's ability to find enemies is not excellent, and depending on the situation, Saber who is wandering around may be

It is discovered first by the enemy Servant, although most of the enemies will not directly attack the crowd, but maybe the enemy will

Take a moment to surprise yourself.

Even so, she did not force Irisviel, but chose to accompany her to breathe free air,

This is all because she placed unwavering confidence in her sword.

She is the Heroic Spirit of the Sword Seat, one of the strongest classes chosen by the Holy Grail.

If it is close combat, no one can surpass her. She believes that no matter what the situation is,

I can handle it calmly.

Therefore, it is most beneficial to be attacked by surprise, as long as you block the attack openly, and then find a chance to counterattack.

, she will let all the stupid opponents who underestimate her know what a swordsman is.

"Saber, let's go to the sea next."

Seeing the unconcealable excitement on Irisviel's face, the girl in men's clothing smiled and nodded, she must not let

She noticed her nervousness.

【I once swore to protect Irisviel. 】

Therefore, even the joy that Irisviel felt at this moment, Saber was determined to protect it to the end.

As long as you walk across the Fuyuki Bridge that spans the Mito River, you will see a large seaside park.

It was late at night, only the two of them were walking slowly on the quiet path, and the north wind on the sea was unobstructed.

After scraping, Irisviel's long silver hair was blown, and the hair was dancing like a meteor tail, here in winter

Because of the sea breeze, even dating couples are reluctant to get close.

And Irisviel, who saw the sea for the first time, didn't care because she was used to the cold.

"Here, it should be here at dawn."

There is only cold darkness in the sea.

Looking at the sea like this, Saber said apologetically.

But Irisviel, who was staring at the horizon, immediately replied: "No, the sea at night is also beautiful,

Like a mirror of the night sky. "

Listening to the heavy sound of the waves, Irisviel gradually revealed a smile on her face.

Perhaps it was because she had a lot of fun that day, a faint blush appeared on her snow-white cheeks, looking at this

Like her, no one would think that she is married and has a child, her smile is so innocent, as if

Still a teenage girl.

"It turns out that you are walking in a strange city together with the knight. It is such a happy thing."

"I wonder if my fake knight's performance is qualified?"

Regarding Irisviel's joke, Saber, the unsmiling heroic spirit, actually said such a joke

Discourse.

"Qualified and impeccable, Saber, you are the most perfect knight in the world today."

"It is my pleasure, Her Royal Highness."

Facing the sincere girl in black, Irisviel seemed a little shy and turned her face to the sea.

"Saber, do you like the sea?"

"This one……"

Saber smiled bitterly, but her thoughts flew back to her distant hometown.

"In my time, the other side of the sea of ​​my country was the gathering place of invaders, so all I could think of was

There are unpleasant memories. "

"Is that so..."

Irisviel's expression became serious because of Saber's answer.

"I'm really, sorry, we are both girls, but you are King Arthur, so it is impossible

Free to go on a date with a knight or something. "

"Well, yes."

Saber shrugged her shoulders with a relaxed smile, she never regretted giving up her identity as a woman, because she

What matters is the honor of galloping on the battlefield.

"Irisviel, in fact, what you like is not with me, but shopping with Kiritsugu."

Facing Saber's question, Irisviel showed a sad smile.

"I can't do it with him, I will think of sad things."

Saber felt a little confused.

"Does Kiritsugu feel unhappy spending time with you?"

"No, I think he should feel the same happiness as me, but no, he is the kind who will feel happy because of happiness."
