[Fate] Falling Sun

On the originally calm river surface, a wave pierced the air and shook the ground, and Rider's barrier was broken.

A huge alien fish landed from mid-air, "Really, why did it take so long!" Rider also jumped out of it driving a chariot.

The King of Heroes stood tall on the bridge, looking at Saber standing in the middle of the water with great interest. "Come on, show it, Saber──let me appreciate your value as a Heroic Spirit."

The petite girl knight held the golden holy sword that liberated her real name, and her emerald green pupils stared solemnly at the huge demon fish that had just been positioned in front of her.

The moment she held the holy sword high, considerable changes occurred in the surroundings. Countless rays of light rose from the ground, like dots of stars, like flying fireflies, converging on the golden sword in large numbers and powerfully.

Yes, that light is through the past, present, future...

Countless heroes who hold strong ideas on the battlefield, the lofty dreams they cherish when they are dying.

Take their will as pride, and their true meaning as their ambition.

Now, the ever-victorious king sings—the true name of the miracle held in his hands.

──The Sword of Victory of the Excalibur Oath──

A huge beam of light galloped out centered on the holy sword, and the expanded energy pointed directly at the demonic fish from the other world.And Caster in the center, at the moment of being reduced to ashes, saw the saint whom he missed day and night, and stretched out his catkin to him with a smile.

Caster, completely wiped out.

"Have you seen it? The King of Conquerors, that is Saber's radiance. Seeing this, can't you agree with her kingly ways?" The King of Heroes looked down at the moment the radiance disappeared in a good mood.

"Hmph—it's just because she bears the wishes of the people of the times all in one body, the prestige is so dazzling." Obviously, she should be loved as a little girl and experience the ups and downs.But this kingly way killed her happiness as a woman.The King of Conquerors could not accept such a king's order anyway.

"That's why she looks so pitiful. What she bears has surpassed her own dreams, and she will eventually go on the road of self-destruction──The tears of Xiang Xiaoyu's death must be sweet and tempting to lick." The King of Heroes evil Laughed.

"I really can't get along with you, King of Uruk."

"Oh? Did you just find out now? It's a felony to provoke the king. Do you want to fight now?"

"Forget it, another day──you and I have consumed too much today, we will fight another day."

The King of Conquerors waved his hand, and drove his chariot towards the Masters.

On the other side, after witnessing the moment when Saber released his real name, Lancer communicated it to the Master who was watching from afar.

"Mio, can you still move? 』This battle did consume a lot of Lancer’s mana. After all, it was a one-on-one battle with that Berserker alone. Whether it was the special release of mana or the magic weapon of Brahma, the master would quickly consume a lot of mana.

"Wow, it's really convenient not to use a communication device──cough, of course I can move, why do you ask like this?" 』On the tall building, Mio breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the battle was over, and she also relaxed a lot.But for some reason, she felt that her body temperature seemed to rise a lot. Could this be the so-called boiling blood?

"...Really, that's good. 』The white-haired young man also noticed that the magic power on his body was still being provided steadily, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange—not to mention the magic weapon of Brahma, if the special skill of releasing magic power exceeds ten seconds, an ordinary magician will almost Because the magic power is instantly exhausted and unable to move, even a first-class magician will face the dilemma of being unable to cast spells in a short period of time. Doesn't Mio feel it herself?

With a puzzled look, Lancer was about to leave with Ritsu, but was blocked by Rider.

"I heard it's Lancer, right? I've just seen your skills. What a hero!" The King of Conquerors smiled boldly. "How? Do you want to conquer the world with me?" It is still the personality that is eager to win over a good talent.

"I appreciate your kindness." The white-haired young man replied calmly. "I don't care about two masters."

"Alas──after hearing this, I want you to be my subordinate even more, what a pity, what a pity..." The burly giant shook his head, his face full of regret.

"I remember you—your surname is Jost, right?" Kenneth who was on the side looked at the clock tower student who appeared suddenly at the beginning.

"It's a great honor for the director to remember my surname." Li replied calmly.In terms of temperament, this pair of Lancer master and slave on the surface is quite similar.

"Can you really understand that this is a battlefield? Even if you're just a student, I won't show mercy." Kenneth narrowed his eyes, and raised the corners of his lips maliciously.

"The implication is that you want to issue a challenge letter? Director." The black-haired boy raised his eyebrows, and a look of warning flashed across his eyes.

"You're a really smart student. But since you're still a child, if you hand over the Command Seals, I can spare your life and go back to further your studies, okay?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't think my Servant will lose."

"Then let's have a fair duel──Two days later, at [-]:[-] pm, see you at the abandoned mansion on the east side of the city. How about it?" Kenneth grinned, and it was a gift sent from heaven to solve such a small problem. Meat.

"That's it. It's decided. See you the day after tomorrow, Director." Li said goodbye briefly, and left the scene with Lancer in a swagger.

***

Accompanied by Assassin's spirit form, Mio walked slowly back to her home.

Along the way, the black-haired girl's face seemed to be getting paler and paler, and Assassin, who sensed something was wrong with the other party, said, "...what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing..." She seemed startled, maybe she was thinking about something just now.

"If you're too tired, I can carry you back." Assassin's hoarse voice was reminiscent of his father's gentleness.

"No! No need! I... I just want to sleep! After all, I usually sleep at this time, ahahaha..." The girl quickly shook her head, if Assassin showed up and carried her back, it would be really embarrassing.

There was another reason for the girl's pale face.

Along the way, she saw some scenes that she used to see again—a flying man eating moths under a street lamp, a middle-aged man standing by the bridge and committing suicide by diving repeatedly, half of his body crawling to death in a car accident... Mio thought The yin and yang eyes that she inherited from her mother were closed because of the time, but she seemed to be wrong.Now that she can see these things again, she undoubtedly has not lost this ability.

Mio felt a little annoyed.

"Tomorrow, I will accompany you, go find Ritsu." Assassin said briefly, from today onwards, it will be in the form of exchanging servants and occasionally changing shifts.Although it was a little troublesome for Mio to find Ritsu who changed places to rest every day, but for the inevitable decisive battle the day after tomorrow, a strategy meeting was necessary.

"Well, I see." Mio returned home, just took a hasty bath and then fell asleep.

However, it seems that Mio who went out the next day wore a big mask because she didn't sleep well at night.

"...Did you catch a cold from the night wind yesterday?" In the restaurant of a small hotel, Ritsu looked helplessly at the black-haired girl while drinking fruit juice.

"I don't think it should be..." The girl thought to herself that she was followed by unclean things, and the filth from the cold could easily make herself sick. She has this kind of experience quite often, although she usually relies on the amulet given by her mother Block it, but I haven't gone back for a long time recently, and the effectiveness of the amulet has already decreased a lot.

Lancer, who was at the side, glanced at Mio, and then spoke to Assassin. "...Assassin, when I'm away, please pay attention to my lord's quilt at night—because she doesn't sleep very well." The white-haired young man said seriously.

"...Lancer!" Mio blushed instantly, and she immediately stood up excitedly. "You really did watch me sleep!"

"Mio, I never do anything sneaky." The white-haired youth still had no other changes in expression. "I've always looked at it aboveboard. And your sleeping appearance is really bad, not to mention kicking the quilt, and even sleeping under the bed, so..." Shi Yu's hero closed his eyes and sighed softly .

A new generation of hidden mothers is born.

"Pfft...hahahaha!" The twin brother on the side laughed so much that he rolled over.

"You...you..." The black-haired girl was trembling with anger. If this continues, the table will probably be overturned.

"... Mio, if it weren't for your reaction, I would have thought Lancer slept with you." My younger brother put on an embarrassed expression, but he thought it was very interesting to tease his sister like this.

"Servants don't need sleep." Karna emphasized this point again.

"...It's not the kind of 'sleep', Lancer." Finally, Assassin couldn't stand it anymore and opened his mouth. "Besides, Mio didn't have a cold. According to experience...it should be due to the short-term high-speed operation of the magic circuit the day before, resulting in overheating." Assassin was also a magician before his death, so he was naturally very familiar with this phenomenon.

"... Everyone, let's get down to business." The black-haired girl who found out that she was outnumbered decided to surrender and changed the subject seriously.

"Cough, okay. Then let's discuss the battle plan with Rider." Ritsu cleared his throat, although the corners of his mouth twitched a little hard to recover.

On the other hand, the silent white-haired young man turned his head to stare at the black-haired girl for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and listened quietly to the process of the meeting.

***

Kotomine Risho, who was in charge of the Command Spells of this Holy Grail War, died.

To be precise, he was killed.After the siege of Caster, Saber's master and slaves were killed by a group of master and slaves before they even received the Command Seals for the reward.

Kotomine Kirei, who succeeded his father, became the new manager.

"What? Do you feel sad?" Gilgamesh in casual clothes asked lazily as he reclined on a pew in the church.

“………………………………”

Kotomine Kirei at this moment is still in confusion.My father suffered such a tragic death, but what I actually cry out in my heart is not sadness, nor anger──but regret that I didn't kill my father myself.

"One day, you will face up to your true nature|nature|──Kirei, don't you have anything you are interested in?"

Kotomine Kirei looked at the King of Heroes, those deep black eyes were as deep as the surface of a bottomless lake.
