[Fate] Falling Sun

Two days after going to the church, Mio returned to the residence with a shopping bag, then took out a can of curvaceous bottle and put it on the dressing table, then began to squeeze the liquid in the bottle, and applied it on the back of the right hand where the command spell was located. superior.

"Okay~ you're done!" The black-haired girl seemed very satisfied that she couldn't see the back of her right hand with Command Seals at all. The liquid she just applied covered the back of her hand, which was almost the same color as her original skin.

"... Mio, that's it?" The voice that suddenly came from her ear made her jump in fright, and the culprit was naturally the servant who had been in the spirit form.

"Lancer, if you're here, show yourself! I thought you weren't here... You really scared me to death." Regardless of the deep foul voice that would make any girl's waist weak, everyone just heard it and disappeared. Everyone else would be intimidated.

"Sorry, Mio." The Servant in golden armor suddenly appeared, his usually indifferent face was stained with apology. "I thought astralization would make you feel more comfortable."

"Thank you very much for your kindness...but I think it's better for you to show up and talk to me in my room." The girl waved her hand. "Also, are you curious about this?" She picked up the bottle and shook it.

"Yes. Is that a potion or something?" He knew very well that his Master was not a magician, but how could he conceal the existence of the Command Seal?

"This one──" the girl showed a rather cute expression. "It's not a potion, it's the same as what you put on your face."

"...I didn't put anything on my face."

"Huh? How is it possible—it's unscientific for the son of the sun god to be so white?" Mio approached Karna, reached out on tiptoe and touched his fair face.The girl stared carefully with a puzzled face──"...It's actually real muscle." She almost couldn't believe it and whispered in amazement.

"........." It was the first time to be touched at such a close distance. The faint fragrance of the girl's body came straight to her nostrils, and the sharp eyes of the white-haired young man who always looked directly at the other party rarely wandered away.

"It's such an advantage that girls envy..." Mio finally backed away, seemingly not noticing Karna's unusual reaction. "Then let me tell you—this thing is called BB cream, and it's something girls use for makeup." Although girls don't usually have the habit of putting on makeup, in order to be able to retreat from this Holy Grail War, no matter what method they use All have a try.

"...Really, I'm really educated." The white-haired young man nodded, and returned to his usual indifferent look. "There is one other thing that bothers me."

"Oh? What is it?" The girl also felt that Karna seems to be very talkative today, but it's okay, if he doesn't talk usually, he will really forget his existence, just like that flying... No, take the heroic spirit It's too impolite to compare it with the cotton that I need every month. She hurriedly pulled back her thoughts of not knowing where to go, and listened to the question that the white-haired young man wanted to ask with bated breath.

"If Mio is not a magus, who built the spirit barrier here?" He understood that Mio hadn't lied to him, but he knew the existence of this barrier from the moment he was summoned.If it wasn't the defensive barrier created by the Master who summoned him, then──who would it be?

"...Spirit Barrier?" The girl blinked in confusion. "You mean...in the place where I live?" The white-haired young man nodded affirmatively. "I don't know at all... But does Lancer know what this barrier is for?"

"A barrier for defense, not a barrier for malicious confinement."

Both of them fell into a long silence.

"...Well, this question, I think I will investigate it later." The girl decided to give up the spirit barrier that appeared at some time. Since it is not malicious, she will treat it as a magic left by the predecessors or passing by. The teacher kindly gave her a gift... How is it possible!However, since there are no clues at all, it can only be shelved.

"Now, I have another matter that I want to discuss with you." Mio walked into the living room, motioning for Karna to sit down and have a good talk. "About the policy of this Holy Grail War..."

These days, Mio has not been idle.On the day after going to the church, after realizing that she could only rely on herself, she turned to the introduction to magic given by Tosaka Tokiomi, and carefully read it as a textbook many times to understand some basic common sense so as not to Waterloo in actual combat.

However, this alone is definitely not enough.

"Lancer, I actually don't think that if I just hide, I can survive the Holy Grail War." The girl hugged the Kodak duck doll, lying on the sofa very casually. "So, instead of playing peek-a-boo, I think we can first explore the reality of other masters and slaves." On the other hand, the white-haired young man was sitting in a very upright posture, which made the girl feel a little uncomfortable and sat upright. "Ah...Of course it's not a big crowd watching, I mean, just peeping from a distance."

"I see." The Master, an ordinary person who has no familiars to command, can only choose such a difficult way to investigate.But for Karna, since he has the adaptive correction of the Archer class, it is a piece of cake to recognize the movement and movement several kilometers away.

"Then, choose the most suitable master and slave from among them...Compared to me who struggles alone and has no foundation as a magician, the survival rate should be increased from 1% to 10%..." The girl buried her face in the soft doll In his arms, the tone of cheering up at the beginning is now a little hesitant.

Speaking of allies, the girl suddenly thought of the magus who suggested alliances from the very beginning.

"Well, let's do it tomorrow." She stood up abruptly, hugging the duck vigorously. "Let's meet the magus who gave me this book first!"

Karna saw the incumbent owner who acted extremely funny but spoke in a serious manner, and felt a sense of disobedience and went on strike for some reason.

***

Tonight's moon is still high in the sky, and the cold moonlight shines lightly on the beautifully organized courtyard in front of the Yuansaka mansion.

"Congratulations, Miss Yuyin." The man with the goatee stood beside the fountain in the garden with a cane. "Then, to show my respect and welcome the alliance—this is my servant, Archer."

Instead of standing beside Tohsaka Tokiomi, he was already sitting high above the balcony railing on the second floor, the golden king looked down upon the two Masters who looked like ants with a condescending expression.And Mio Amane raised her head to see Gilgamesh of the Archer class, her red eyes gave off too much pressure, and she shrank her shoulders involuntarily.

"Hmph──Is this reaction worthy of a little mouse? It really brought me a lot of fun." The hero Wang Hao unabashedly mocked the ally he met for the first time.

"...Archer." Tokiomi Tohsaka sighed helplessly. "Sorry, if I offend you, I would like to apologize in advance."

"No... that, I don't mind." The black-haired girl nodded.He thought to himself how hard it is to have such a servant. Although his own servant has a facial paralysis, it doesn't give people such a sense of oppression. "Then my side is... Lancer──"

The servant who had been in spirit form beside the girl finally appeared.Under the moonlight in the dark night, it looks like a golden bird made of golden sand, its unmodified white hair fluttering in the wind, its silver blue and crimson eyes are crystal clear and sharp, and the golden armor and accessories reflect Moonlight, filled with a deadly beauty.

"──────" The aloof golden king seemed to be stunned for a second. Originally, he didn't have any expectations for the little mouse-like allies, and probably summoned third-rate servants, but in fact, he was surprised. He was really surprised by the strength of the Servant in front of him.

Tohsaka Tokiomi was also surprised.If it was normal, the King of Heroes would definitely ridicule him first, but this development has quietly changed its tone, which shows that this follower must have a strong background.The reason why Gilgamesh didn't say a word was because he was guarding Lancer with all his strength.

Although the servants in front of him were not hostile at all, they couldn't find any gaps.To make the ancient King of Heroes so vigilant, who is this heroic spirit bound by the Spear Seat?

"Master of Archer, I would like to express my endless gratitude to my lord for his mercy." Compared with the impolite golden king, the servants who were also favored by gold on the other side seemed much more humble.

"Where, since Ms. Yuyin is just a non-related person who strayed into the war, the survival rate of the alliance will be higher if it is unavoidable." Patriarch Tohsaka's elegant tone sounded artificial to Archer. "What's more, with such excellent servants, our victory is almost in sight." This compliment praised two servants at once, and it can only be said that Tohsaka Tokiomi is really good at talking about beautiful scenes.

"Hmph ─ did you say it so early? Tokiomi." The King of Heroes raised the corner of his mouth, and his eyes fell on the white-haired servant in front of him.There's a wickedly twisted hostility in that friendly smile. "One day, you and I will have to decide the outcome──After all, this is the Holy Grail War."

"If it really evolves to this point, I won't back down." Karna still had that steady tone.

"Okay, very good──" The golden king seemed to be in a good mood and laughed. "My treasury still lacks treasures that you have never seen before, hero of giving──It's really exciting, whether it's the world's second-best gold armor or sharp spear, I will show no mercy Take it here?" That was not the end of the joke, the black-haired girl had already felt Archer's malicious announcement.

"The ancient king of Uruk, the arbiter endowed with the principles of heaven and earth. If fate destined me to lose in your hands, then I will accept it willingly." After hearing this announcement, Lancer still faced Said without expression. "The oldest man who ruled the land only in the dawn of human intelligence. But the premise is that your strength is enough to destroy me." Mio was really impressed by the sudden declaration of choking someone with a carbine.It seems that her servants are not at all vulnerable when faced with provocations.

"That's a good point—one day, my decisive battle with you will make the heavens and the earth howl." The King of Heroes finally jumped down from the high balcony, and looked at Karna from the same height. "It seems that you and I are completely opposite existences."

The hero gives wealth, but the king plunders it.

The hero forbids extravagance, but the king indulges it.

The hero rescues his master, but the king abandons him.

After the two followers revealed their true identities to each other, the King of Heroes was the first to disappear in spirit.

"...I'm really sorry." Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was left behind on the scene, closed his eyes in embarrassment, his own servants always acted so capriciously.The alliance welcome meeting was a bit embarrassing at the end.

"Mr. Tohsaka really worked hard...then I won't bother you at this late hour, so let's take my leave first." Amane Mio left wisely.

After stepping out of the gate of Tohsaka's house, Mio whispered to the Servant in spirit form: "Lancer, what do you think of Archer?"

"If you are an ally, you have strong support; if you are an enemy, you need to face it with a life-and-death attitude." Karna summed it up succinctly.

"I don't know whether it's good luck or bad luck... Sigh." The servants the girl has seen so far are all so individual, but it's just too much for her as an ordinary person.

"Mio, even if the luck is low, there will be moments of great prosperity." His servant seemed to want to comfort himself.

"Thank you, Lancer. It would be nice if I could be half as optimistic as you... I remember that Lancer's luck is not very good, and it's not easy to be so optimistic. It seems that I have to emulate you." The girl Accept comfort very frankly.

"No, I consider myself lucky." Without hesitation, Shi Yu's hero replied.

"... Huh? But I remember the first time I saw Lancer, the servant's ability value shows that the value of luck is... not too high?" Strange to say, when she summoned the servant, the servant itself The ability value is like an automatic transmission, she can immediately understand the level of each ability of her servants.

However, what she remembers is that the lowest part of Karna's ability is luck, the impression is D?

"My luck is A+, there must be something wrong." Shi Yu's hero still insisted, but Mio just smiled lightly after hearing that.

"Mio, what are you laughing at?" Since the master didn't feel the intention of ridicule, it made Karna confused what she was thinking—especially when the girl was walking in front with her back to him.

"No, it's nothing. It's just that I didn't expect that Lancer, who doesn't seem to be interested in anything, has something to care about."

"...So I look like this." It's not a question, but an affirmative sentence. "It seems that I am not mature enough as a Servant." Karna silently began to reflect on himself.

"Although I don't know why Lancer came to this conclusion, but I don't think so." The black-haired girl stopped. "I used to think about it—is it because Lancer is the son of the sun god, so I am not interested in anything in the world." Although she couldn't see where the spirit-formed servant was, her expression emerged Pretty soft smile. "But the Lancer just now made me feel like a human being."

“………………………………”

"What's wrong? Lancer, could it be that what I said made you unhappy...? If that's the case, then I'll say it first—" The sudden silence made the girl think that she might have said something wrong.

"No, my lord, you are not wrong, so there is no need to apologize." The words seemed to be confided after taking a deep breath. If it wasn't for the spiritual relationship, Karna's shaken expression would probably be deeply embedded in the girl's heart. . "It's just the first time I heard such an evaluation, and I was very surprised."

"Yes, is that so..."

"However, let's stop talking about luck here. Mio, about two kilometers ahead, there is the aura of a servant. Are you going to check it out?"

"Does Lancer know what the other party is doing?"

"...probably something like provocation." Karna hesitated for a while, and picked out the most appropriate words to describe it, but it might be difficult for the girl to understand the purpose of that servant by saying that she was provocative. what is it.

"Does the other party already know of our existence...?" Thinking of this, the black-haired girl seemed a little nervous.

"No, I think it's just... I want to test whether other people will pass by. It is also part of the strategy to find out the strength of each team."

"Then even if you want to watch the excitement, you have to go and have a look, let's go!"

"Only follow your orders." After saying this, the white-haired young man appeared, and the next second he hugged the confused black-haired girl, and jumped towards the top of a three-story building beside him—

"Huh? Huh huh huh──"

The girl's high-pitched screams gradually disappeared into the air.
