[Fate Gun Brother] The 2.5th Holy Grail War

Knight's honor. Saber replied quite honestly, "If it is a one-on-one battle, I will be very happy. "

As soon as these words came out, Elijah could clearly feel his face stiffen, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be drawn, as if someone had slapped him.

He wanted to stand up, but he didn't do it. He just rubbed and pressed his right temple.

"My fault, my fault. As a Servant, you would have such naive thoughts. At best, I would be speechless, and what makes me angry is that I didn't realize it. Saber, this is mine Combat strategy, or rather, this is the way I expect. On the surface, be hostile to any master, including Aqia; in fact, join forces to defeat the fooled servants one by one. Isn't this kind of strategy the best? Can't you avoid a lot of unnecessary bloodshed? Can your ridiculous chivalry do it? Times have changed, saber, it's 1875! You're still talking to me about that outdated honor of chivalry?"

The long-haired knight took a breath, lowered his head, and looked at the gorgeous carpet on the floor. The overly complicated embroidery patterns on it were just like his unspeakable thoughts now.

When the inhaled air is exhaled, the words come out.

"I'll keep it in mind, master. That situation will never happen again in the future."

He meant that it would never happen again, not abandoning his idea.He was unwilling to deny his worth as a knight.

Elijah focused his eyes on the patterns on Saber's breastplate, then stared directly at the slender cheeks buried in the shadows, without making a sound.What he didn't expect was that Saber would ask the following question.

"How is Aqiya-sama's current situation?"

"It's not very good. It's no longer possible to live there. On the other hand, Berserker's mana consumption is worse than expected, and she will go to sleep early tonight. She has to rent a new house before then. I can't talk to She meets, and she has to do it herself."

"..." Saber didn't know how to answer, and simply fell silent again.

"Although I'm not [-]% sure that it was Rider's master who sneaked into Aqia's house, but I am a little concerned about the Rider group. Please pay more attention to me when you have time."

"Yes, Master. I will keep an eye out..."

Elijah raised his right hand and made a pause gesture, Saber immediately stopped talking.

After a series of questioning and preaching about the knight's honor, Elijah finally brought the topic back to the beginning that made Saber embarrassed.

"The same sentence, Saber, I have no other orders. There is only one thing. Tell me your wish."

"This is really...unspeakable."

"You have to answer, Saber, no - Lancelot!"

When the real name of the sword knight's heroic spirit was called out, it was obvious that Saber's body shuddered.He didn't speak right away, probably thinking about the most appropriate answer.

There was another moment of silence in the room. Saber realized that he had to speak, his master was waiting for him to express his position, and he was already very anxious.

"My lord, it is a great honor to be summoned here to fight with you. In this Holy Grail War, I just hope...to atone for my sins."

"Atonement?"

"Yes."

"What is your crime?"

he pressed.He could see the pain on Saber's face.

"I used to swing swords at my companions, I used to covet my lord's wife...even, I once fought against my lord, which led to the split of the knight order and the destruction of the kingdom..."

This answer is too honest!

Elijah, however, was not pleased with his follower's honest answer, he was even rather displeased.

That's right, in the legend of King Arthur, Lancelot is his most powerful subordinate and the chief knight of the Knights of the Round Table under the leadership of King Arthur.But his love with Arthur's queen Guinevere made him leave the lord, leading to the split of the Knights.These Elijahs are very clear.

However, when these past legends were separated from the books and were recounted by the parties themselves, the unspeakable taste made the red-haired young man unbearable.

"What a knight to brag about, Lancelot! Your reputation as a noble knight really makes me ashamed!" The nobleman said with his own unique aristocratic self-cultivation and strict personality, although It was full of malice, but the tone was more like praising the merits of a great man than sneering.

"Those... are indeed my Lancelot's faults during my lifetime, and I cannot deny it no matter what."

"Then you hope to use the power of the Holy Grail to go back to the past and rewrite all this?"

"Exactly... If the Holy Grail can grant my wish, I will be grateful."

The beautiful young man on the sofa relaxed his frown.He suddenly had the mood to pick up the long-forgotten wine glass, and took a sip of the high-end wine inside.

"Since I got the Command Seal, my thoughts have not changed. According to the legend, the chief knight of the Knights of the Round Table, known as the 'Knight of the Lake', you are highly skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting. I look forward to getting such a powerful servant, That’s why I summoned you as a saber. It’s only now that I realized that this was a major mistake... It’s not too late. How can I ensure that those things won’t happen to me in the future? How can I ensure that you won’t—betrayal I?"

Elijah's words made Saber feel a sense of oppression not so much from the content, but from the tone.

After putting down the wine glass, his master raised his right hand.

"Obey everything I say - command with a spell."

Command spells have a high coercive force for issuing instant orders or specific orders.However, if the execution of the order is too long or too broad, the effect will be reduced.So a command like Elijah's is almost useless.

But Elijah is quite confident, he has this capital.As the young master of Einzbern, he is fully capable of making this order come into effect with his excellent quality as a magician.What's more, in order to prevent the super high resistance to magic power introduced by the Saber, Elijah used two.

"........."

After being given such an order, Saber raised his head, there was unyielding expression in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything.There was only one Command Seal left on the back of Elijah's right hand. Saber can clearly see the expression on the master's face, which can probably be described as stubborn.

He lied, yes, lied, saber lied about the wish.The real desire is not this.Perhaps it is a desire that is much more base and selfish than this, even absurd...

But any wish is meaningless before such an order.The knight named Lancelot, his body and mind are no longer his own.

"This war will never allow any mistakes." Although Elijah's eyes were red like flames, there was no trace of warmth in them.

No one spoke anymore.A full 2 ​​minutes passed.

"Go back."

There is an obvious sense of repelling in the tone.

Saber bowed her head and disappeared without any objection.

Wasting two Command Seals just to guard against his servants was undoubtedly the biggest blow Elijah had suffered so far.The next strategy is mainly to keep a low profile.Aqiya was looking for a new place to live, both Berserker and Saber were slightly exhausted, and Saber... the beautiful red-haired young man didn't think about it any further.Now, what he needs is physical rest and mental calm.

***

Caster's dark purple figure stood against the backlight.

The plundered rich man's mansion seems to be somewhat isolated from the outside world - on a sunny afternoon with white clouds and blue sky, the sky around the mansion is dyed purple, as weird as a devil's kiss.

"So, you failed?"

——Who was he talking to in the empty room except himself?

"Yes, it failed."

——Where did the voice responding to the caster come from?

"Why didn't you come to report to me until now?"

"I lay in ambush over the Charles Bridge for a while. No, more than a while. You could even say that I was the last to retreat. I would have turned back, but time didn't allow it."

"Hasn't it been found again?"

"Of course not. I deliberately stayed away from that couple. I don't want to make the same mistake a second time."

"Oh... you will be discovered unexpectedly. Is it the ability to perceive the preemptive type?"

"It should be that thing."

"It seems that the high perception level is quite a threat to you who are good at concealing aura."

"Being enemies with those two at the same time, it's good that I can retreat unscathed."

"So, tell me, who stood in your way?"

"It's Lancer and his master."

"Oh? Are you sure it's Lancer?"

"Who else is a servant with a gun besides Lancer? I was stabbed by his gun. It still hurts."

"Tell me specifically what they are like."

"The master is a fairly young woman. Her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes are all white like snowflakes. She has blue eyes. She really doesn't look like an ordinary human. Her height is between 160 and [-].
