[Fate Gun Brother] The 2.5th Holy Grail War

In the past, what he saw was the thick flaxen curly hair that gave a simple impression, and the black top hat on his head.The face is fair and pure, as delicate and beautiful as the saint on the mural.

But, look further down...

The petite woman, whose whole body was wrapped in heavy armor, wore an armor skirt made of iron sheets.A girl who is only about 1.6 meters tall puts on such a suit, and anyone who sees it will feel that it is too heavy.Haierwen couldn't help imagining what a miserable scene it would be if those iron blocks were pressed against him.However, no matter how weak a Servant looks, it still has a strange power that ordinary people cannot achieve.

If this is a girl with gentle and peaceful qualities, then the battle armor covering her body adds a bit of awe-inspiring temperament to her.It can only be described as admiration.

"Master, do you want me to escort you back home?"

Until being woken up by Rider, Helvetia had already completely forgotten the original intention of calling Servant out.

"Go back?... Did you make a mistake!... There's no reason to go back in a shameless manner after being kicked out of the house, everyone will laugh at you...!"

Hai Erwen yelled on the spot stomping a bit, and coughed a few more times.When he saw that simple face looking at him worriedly, the boy turned his head away as if trying to avoid something.

"... Rider."

"Yes."

"I'm going to the train station."

"Yes."

"To Prague to participate in the Holy Grail War."

"Ah."

"But I don't know which way to go. You say... what to do."

"Hey?"

The flaxen-haired girl froze on the spot as if she didn't understand.In front of her, the blond boy hung his head like a child who made a mistake.After a while, he finally made up his mind to confess to Rider.

"This... this is the first time I've left home since I was born..."

Rider showed a helpless expression upon hearing this.She couldn't help but feel sympathy for the Master who was confined in the castle like a bird in a cage.

"Although this is the case, don't force yourself. Please allow me to send you back."

Hearing Rider's calm words, the boy wanted to smile wryly, but his face was so stiff that he couldn't control it.Heilwen got colder, he shrank back.

"...This matter is not discussed, Rider."

The female cavalry sighed, perhaps expecting him to say so.Rider, who chose between his master's safety and his mind, nodded knowingly when he saw the unyielding and stubborn expression on the young boy's immature face.

"So, let me show the way, okay?"

"Um……"

"First, turn left at the intersection ahead, and then...Master, it's a long way from here to the train station, are you sure you want to walk?"

"Let's go and see first... If I can't even walk this far, how can I go to the battlefield..." The young man in front of Rider was a little embarrassed, because he had a little inferiority complex that he didn't even realize. On low temperature, Hai Erwen hesitated while shivering, "When I really can't do it, then..."

"Okay, Master."

Rider felt his master's tenacious will, and gradually smiled.

In the evening, the two were walking on the way to the train station.Heilwen didn't speak all the way, and Rider, who has always been reticent, was silent most of the time except for pointing out the way occasionally.

If you walk around with a girl in armor, will you be caught as a suspicious person?Reminded by this uneasy thought, Heilwen looked around from time to time to see if there was anyone.

Fortunately, everything on the street was soon shrouded in darkness.Few of the hurried passers-by stopped to pay attention, and occasionally a couple of people looked at them strangely—most of their eyes were on Rider—and all of them were ignored by Helvetian cheekily.

Rider's familiarity with the city is like a moving map, which makes Helvin feel incredible.And he himself would believe anything Rider said for no reason, this is what makes people feel even more amazing.

There is neither fear nor insecurity.The night and the cold seemed to be far away from him.Only the coughing every once in a while is real.

"...You, you...have you been here before, Rider?"

Such a light and soft voice came from the girl's ear.Rider, who was leading the way, turned around caressing his chest, looked at Helvin with a peaceful smile like an ordinary peasant girl, and shook his head lightly.

"About your ability, can you explain to me? Why...you know the way?"

"This... I can't explain it clearly, I always feel that I know it."

…Helvin looked at her speechlessly.Was it because it was too cold, a faint blush appeared on Rider's snow-white cheeks, making this girl who used to be unsmiling look so innocent.

The purpose of Rider's reserved skill [Revelation] is not for the sixth sense in battle, but for the selection of certain problems in daily life. Rider can find the right way in a strange city familiarly, as if he has been here before.Because it was an unfounded intuition, even Rider himself couldn't explain it to others.

"So...the feeling of believing something you say for no reason..."

I've had enough.

Almost blurting out the second half of the sentence, Haierwen swallowed it with the last of his self-cultivation and perseverance.When he saw Rider's bewildered face looking at him with a still otherworldly demeanor, he suddenly felt even more absurd and insignificant.

A noble girl like an angel who has fallen into the mortal world, but he is just a little bug lurking in a dark corner waiting to die. What is Rider's opinion on this contract?Let such an incompetent person become the Master, if he can partner with an excellent magician, at least he won't have to waste time on the icy road like he is now.

"Master, are you not leaving?"

The blond boy had stopped in his tracks for a while, and Rider saluted Helvetia with his blue eyes.

His Servant seldom let her show up because his body couldn't take it anymore.The Servant was originally summoned against his grandfather's wishes, so he couldn't show Rider in person in front of his family.Although there is no obstacle to talking with the heroic spirit who has turned into a spirit body, the time for the two of them to be alone is quite small... Anyway, take this rare opportunity to ask something, even if you are despised, it is because of your own strength, and you can't blame others ——

So, thinking this way, Hai Erwen suddenly asked on a whim:

"Rider, why would a saint like you... covet the Holy Grail?"

"Ok?"

"Ah, you heard me right. I'm asking for your wish. Be honest, or I'll order you with Command Seals!"

"The sustenance of the Holy Grail..." In front of his master who raised his hand and pointed at him, Rider quietly lowered his gaze and shook his head, "Actually, I never thought that I would be in contact with the real world again. I don't have any wishes. .”

"Huh? How is it possible?!"

He really didn't have time to prepare any holy relics related to Rider, so he forcibly summoned her out. Even Helvin himself didn't expect the ceremony to go so smoothly.But he is still clear about the Servant's cognition, and the pursuit of the Holy Grail maintains the cooperative relationship between the master and the slave.A heroic spirit who serves the public without compensation is simply a fantasy...

"Don't Heroic Spirits obey the Master because they also have a wish to be fulfilled?!"

"Maybe, it's - 'you'."

Heilven was completely speechless. Rider uttered such sincere words with a solemn expression, and he once again believed without any resistance.Then, another reserved skill [Saint] that jumped into my mind along with the ability value... Ahh, it must be the ghost of that thing.

"This thing...can't you turn it off, really..."

Haierwen blushed a little in the night, calling meaninglessly.He didn't dare to look at the girl's simple smile, and simply turned his head away.

With Rider's performance in history, no one can doubt his character.Heroic spirits who dedicate themselves to their master regardless of their interests are almost unique, but—this one in front of them is.

Rider tilted his head as if watching his master's expression.As for the young man who felt he didn't know what expression to use to face Rider, a chill surged up from his chest and suddenly spread all over his body.

"cough……!"

Haierwen hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his pocket to cover his mouth, and coughed violently.Sure enough, I stayed outside for too long, and my physical strength was exhausted.The boy spat out blood from his throat while making a choked sound.They slowly melted away, making the center of the white handkerchief gradually turn into a light red, all of which were noticed by Rider.

"Master... you still insist on not letting me do it for you?"

The blond boy felt very uncomfortable when he heard Rider's usual calm voice, but now there was a slight wave of uneasiness.

What a gaffe.But Rider saw this gaffe.let him
