"……above."

Xi Jian nodded slightly, reached out and took a sip from the tea cup in front of her.On the opposite side was Karna who looked calm. It seemed that what she just said was nothing special to him.

Because she wanted to gain the other party's trust, Yumi could be said to have unreservedly confessed her purpose to Karna.

I am neither a magician nor a human being, and my goal is not the Holy Grail, but the "underworld crack" that will appear on this land, and the things that should not appear that may be brought about by the "underworld crack".

"This is a very tricky thing, especially now that there are almost no one who can handle it." Xi Jian squeezed the teacup slightly, staring at the small half of the tea soup left in the cup, "I'm not very good at fighting... That's why I want to use Karna-kun's combat power. Because it's not just the rift, we will definitely face off against the participants of the Holy Grail War in these few days.

"Besides, there is no need to worry about the 'magic power' that Karna-kun said. I still have confidence in that."

Xijian raised her head slightly. As the daughter of a god, she has a gift from her father. In this respect, she is completely confident that she will not lose to anyone. Besides, her father is the ruler of "Night Plain", inheriting Yumi, who is half of his bloodline, has a special physique that gains extra spiritual power recovery at night.

As she spoke, she stretched out her right hand and looked at it with some hesitation: "But... Actually, I don't have a 'Command Spell'. Maybe it's because I'm not a participant? It's like a participation permit. Hmm...Karna-kun, is it okay if you don't have Command Seals?"

"...No, if the master is not at ease, I can make an oath that I will never betray."

Karna said such words calmly, maybe he just gave a solution he could think of in an ordinary way, but when Yumi heard it, he immediately exploded.

"Mr. Karna, no need," the girl's complexion sank slightly, she raised her head, her pair of clear dark blue eyes met Karna's, the anger in those eyes made Karna startled For a moment, "If you don't trust me, I swear by my real name, I will never suspect you, please..."

"Master, I'm sorry for causing you such a misunderstanding," Karna interrupted Yumi's next words, "I don't distrust you, but the Command Spell does have such a function, it is used to help the Master to restrain Servants stronger than themselves."

"Then do you think it is necessary?"

Xi Jian's tone softened a little, but still sounded a little stiff.

"...I don't think it's necessary."

Karna stared at Yumi who seemed to be getting nervous again, and replied.

What he didn't say was that he did see that his master this time really believed in him without reservation.It was a kind of sincerity that was so naive as to be ridiculous, but he would not laugh at it, he only felt slightly moved.

As a "hero of giving", Karna not only has a glorious character, but also loves and praises all good qualities.Trust, tolerance, understanding, acceptance - aren't these beautiful things?

However, it is also very difficult to completely trust a person you meet for the first time.What's more, she even made an oath because of it-he knew how powerful the oath was.And just from the anger of his master just now, from her oath, he saw the precious pure heart she possessed.

He seemed to understand why he answered her call.

The meeting was successfully completed.

……Maybe.

Xi Jian said that she was going out, so she dragged Karna out.Karna was silent for a few seconds before stopping in his tracks.

"Master, although I only obtained the knowledge of this era when I was summoned, but," his eyes fell on Yumi's simplified but still very complicated and gorgeous big furisode, "this kind of clothing , it should not be suitable for wearing at this time."

"...It's so troublesome. I don't have any clothes that fit the style of those people outside. What's more, don't you, Mr. Karna, wear something different from them?"

"But I can transform into a spirit body, which is different from the Master."

"Then let them not see us, we're not going shopping anyway."

As she spoke, she took Karna's hand naturally: "Try not to get too far away from me, Mr. Karna, the scope of this technique is limited."

The hand was surrounded by a warm and soft touch, the girl's hand was as soft as boneless, as if he could crush it with force.Then he felt that the "magic power" transmitted from that hand surrounded him little by little, surrounding his body like a tulle.

They walked to the street like this, and sure enough, even though two guys in strange clothes were standing hand in hand on the busy street, not even one person cast a strange look at this side.

Yumi seemed to be very adapted to this situation, and walked forward naturally holding Karna's hand. Sure enough, as she said, they were not shopping.Yumi seemed to be walking along a specific route, turning a blind eye to the various shops and restaurants on the street along the way. Karna didn't know what she was going to do, but was quietly pulled forward by her.

If you ignore the white butterfly-like pieces of paper that keep flying out of Yumi's cuffs along the way, this is not much different from a walk.Karna had observed a few of those pieces of paper, which were very flimsy paper with strange symbols drawn on them.These pieces of paper flew out from Yumi's cuff, landed on the street wall or on the treetops, and then disappeared.

They left from the bustling business district, crossed the Miyuan River from the bridge, and then returned to the shrine in the suburbs.

By the time they returned to the shrine, night had fallen, and Yumi let out a long sigh of relief as he removed the spells that had been cast on the two of them.

"It's much more tiring than I imagined..."

She leaned against Karna wearily, putting half of her body weight on him.The white-haired Heroic Spirit gently supported her, allowing her to sit down by herself.

"Master has amazed me very much. After all, judging from your physical condition, it is difficult to support such physical exertion." Karna said seriously.

"...Suddenly found that it sounds really strange to still use honorifics at this time," Xi Jian choked back when she was about to say thank you. She organized her words for a long time and said dryly, " Karna-kun, is it because I said 'please call me what you want' that you keep calling me 'Master'?"

"There are indeed such considerations." Karna agreed very naturally.

"Well, this is my negligence. In fact, just call me by my name. The pronunciation of 太见 (ユウミ) shouldn't be difficult, right? I'll call you by your name directly for the sake of uniformity."

"So, see you," Karna said kindly, "Although I don't know much about it, I can see that today's ones do not belong to the category of 'magic'. Is this part of the plan?"

Yumi leaned on his soft cloak and just wanted to take a nap. Hearing Karna's question, she cheered up and replied, "Yes, this can help me bring the spiritual power fluctuations of the entire Fuyuki City under my surveillance." Barrier. I am not a god believed by the residents of this place, and I have no right to conduct surveillance at this level... Ah, you reminded me, I am still one step away."

Xi Jian turned over into a half-kneeling position, and violently pulled the Gouyu hanging from her neck.She held the hook jade with one hand, and after concentrating her spiritual power, she slammed it down on the ground.

Gouyu hummed slightly, and then, the blue lines of spiritual power visible to the naked eye spread to the surroundings along the place where her hand touched, covering the entire night sky like an explosion in an instant.Karna watched all this, and when the spiritual power exploded outside the window, he also turned his head away.

—night fell.

It might be puzzling to say that, after all, it was indeed night at this time, but, in his eyes, the night sky outside the window changed in an instant.The lights of those modern cities seemed to be completely extinguished in an instant, and the sky returned to what it should have been. That was the night sky of the mythical era a long, long time ago, thousands of times longer than the beginning of all technology.If you want to describe it, it is a dark blue that is so thick that it is almost ready to settle, and across this amazingly beautiful sky are extremely bright stars.The stars are slowly rotating according to mysterious trajectories, if you take a closer look——

...the illusion is gone.

The boring modern night replaced this beautiful scene. Karna turned his gaze back thoughtfully, but saw Yumi's face turned pale, as if he was struggling to support his figure.

Sure enough, it was too reluctant.

Just when she thought she was going to faint, a hand reached out to support her.

"Being brave is not something very commendable, see you later."

Karna's calm voice rang in her ears.

"Last night and today are things that are beyond your ability," he continued, watching the pale Xijian grab his arm and try to stand up, "Although you should go all out, but, You should also do what you can, which is not contradictory.”

He looked at Yumi, who was trying to support himself, as if he could see the "something" she suppressed under the calm surface.

"Karna-kun...the only thing you don't understand..."

"So, are you afraid?"

Hearing this sentence, Xi Jian froze and retorted subconsciously: "No! It's not—"

"But you are indeed afraid, and it is because of this fear that you are brave," Karna was not affected by her rebuttal, "See you, fear is not something to be ashamed of. I will not despise you because of this, That's unacceptable behavior."

"..."

Why would he say such things to himself, Xi Jian only felt that the whole person was in chaos, obviously they just knew each other for less than two days, didn't they?He... Why can he do this, ruthlessly tear away the appearance she has put up so hard?

But, but... Even so, he can be relied on.

Apart from the relatives whom I can't see for the time being, and the only friend who is far away from home, it must be someone I can rely on.

After all, although it was terribly embarrassing, no matter whether it was his aura or her intuition, they all told her to trust this person.

Karna suddenly felt something cold dripping on his skin, he turned his face sideways, and saw Yumi who buried his face in his sleeve.

It was tears, and she was crying.

Even crying is silent, the girl covered her face with her sleeves, so as not to show her fragility.But Karna could feel the strength of her hand grasping him.

All the fear and struggle in her heart could not be hidden in front of him. If it was an ordinary person, she might choose to continue to escape by luck. However, Yumi's voice sounded from behind the wide sleeve covering her face.It was a trembling voice that had just stopped crying.

"Yes, you're right, I'm scared..."

If he hadn't pointed out her fear directly, perhaps she could have continued to suppress it.But now, it would be better to face that fragile self.

— After all, she hasn't grown up to be strong enough, has she, Xi Jian?

"I'm afraid... because it's the 'unknown'...Yes, Mr. Karna, I was afraid of the 'unknown', isn't it funny?...It's really funny."

"No, it's a very good courage to be able to face your fears, see you."

The girl suddenly became quiet, she raised her head, and looked at Karna with teary eyes, and then she saw a very shallow smile on the heroic spirit's originally expressionless face.

He went on to say: "Of course, this is also the reason why I am here as your servant. See you, my gun will wave at your command. No matter what kind of enemy I face, I will fight against you." Pierce it—as a reward for your awareness."

"Of course I believe in Karna, it's just, just... I'm too bad myself."

"Please don't say that, Yumi, in my opinion, you are not 'bad' as a master, such a self-evaluation is inappropriate."

Xi Jian was stunned.

What, this man, for a moment she couldn't figure out whether he was too bad at talking or too good at talking.

In order to conceal the weird feeling in her heart, she had an idea, and pointed out the window casually: "Look over there, Karna, it seems that something happened."

At a glance, he saw that she was covering up, and Karna, who was about to correct him, heard Yumi's exclamation in the next second: "Wait, what is that...?!"

Two beams of light, one in the mountains of the urban area, and the other somewhere in the suburbs, soared into the sky at the same time.
