A certain salary's infinite journey

However, strictly speaking, there is no distinction between master and slave.

At least that's what Weber thinks.

"Rider."

Weber turned his head, and then slowly looked at his good partner.

After getting along these days, he already understood why Rider yearned for the Holy Grail.

Want to see the sea at the end of the world...

For a dream that was never fulfilled until death, this man would answer the call of the Holy Grail.

What a hopeless idiot...

"Name it with the Command Seal, you must do your best to obtain the Holy Grail, even if I die!"

After Wei Bo finished speaking, he used up one of the two remaining Command Seals.

With the onset of the power of the Command Seal, there was only the last stroke of the Command Seal left on his right hand.

Once the red rune disappears, he is no longer the master, and has no chance to participate in the final round.

"Weber?"

"Rider, you must win, even if the hope is slim, you must go to see the sea at the end of the world."

Without hesitation, Weber put the desire to conquer the king first.

And after doing this kind of thing that other masters can hardly think of, this irregular contest participant.

"Webber..."

"I... actually have no qualifications to be your master, and I have no desire for the Holy Grail, but you are different. Don't you still have a wish that has not been fulfilled until you die?"

The master and servant were silent, like a pair of old friends who were about to part.

After tasting the latest dishes of the Chinese restaurant, Kotomine Kirei pushed open the door of the restaurant and went outside.

Although he lost his best tax-evading partner Gilgamesh not long ago, and was almost wiped out by Kiyana.

But at this moment, he was full of energy and felt that he was doing it again.

It's just that he hasn't been stunned for a long time, and the sight from the high platform makes him look up instantly.

"Oh?"

Looking at the instantly retracted head on the roof of the tall building, Kotomine Kirei knew very well that this was the goal he had been longing for.

It's just that he didn't take much countermeasures, and just started wandering the streets of Fuyuki City as if nothing had happened.

He knew very well that with the character of this magician killer, he probably wouldn't attack in broad daylight.

Doing so will not only expose his position, but may also cause entanglement with relevant agencies.

This magician killer would not do such things as causing trouble to his upper body.

Because of this reliance, Kotomine Kirei walked quite steadily.

And his appearance of being so confident made Kiritsugu feel troublesome.

"Find me? Or not?"

Kiritsugu, who was squatting on the roof, picked up the walkie-talkie and talked to Hisau Maiya who had already reached the deployment position:

"Did you find anything wrong?"

"Everything is normal, and no abnormalities have been found so far."

Hisau Maiya quickly responded.

The task Kiritsugu gave her was to protect Irisviel, because the ultimate consciousness needs a container.

This is what she told herself.

Although he could only watch his wife die, Kiritsugu firmly believed that as long as he got the Holy Grail.

All suffering in the world will come to an end.

All mankind will be liberated, and Eri will also be free.

Compared with such a grand and great wish, the current sacrifice is tolerable and acceptable!

Kiritsugu, with such conviction...

Therefore, after instructing Hisau Maiya to protect Irisviel from being robbed.

He then sent a message to Saber.

"Did you sense it? Saber."

"not yet."

"Continue to sense, and report to me any information about any servants you find. And... where is the adjudicator now?"

Kiritsugu asked the question he was most concerned about.

Essentially, the adjudicator belongs to the regulator and will not participate in the specific execution of the Holy Grail War.

But the adjudicator is also a heroic spirit in essence, and belongs to the heroic spirit governed by the Holy Grail.

In this case, the adjudicator may become the last variable in this war.

"She is by my side. According to her, since she promised to accompany me to the end, she won't run around."

"Very well, continue to monitor her."

Kiritsugu ordered like this.

However, facing Kiritsugu's order, Saber did not respond,

Although she knew very well that being a knight meant being loyal to her master.

But don't forget, she is the noble and noble King of Knights.

Although Kiritsugu was wise, he couldn't convince himself after all.

"Kiana."

"what?"

Kiana, who was accompanying Artoria to observe Fuyuki City from another tall building, turned around and asked with a smile.

"Having met for so long, can we be considered friends?"

Artoria asked such a question.

"Friends? Are we friends?"

Kiyana asked in surprise.

"If you don't hate mine, then maybe you do."

Arturia said with a smile.

"Then...what do you think of this relationship?"

Kiyana continued to ask, with a smile on her face, but a bit of inquiry in her eyes.

"Such a relationship?"

Arturia heard Kiana's question, she asked curiously, and then answered after a moment of pondering:

"If you think the relationship between the two of us is a friend, then it should be considered a friend. After all, we have shared weal and woe, and there is not much conflict between each other's ideas. Should it be considered a friend?"

"Is that so? I'm honored."

Kiyana said softly.

"So... my friend, can you hear some of my whispers?"

Arturia asked.

"All ears."

Kiyana simply said.

"Do you think I'm wrong? If you know Lancelot's story, you should know mine too."

Artoria has her own opinion on what is kingly way.

Lead by example, guide the people, and never tolerate evil and injustice.

This is the chivalry she adheres to, and it can also be called the kingly way.

However, in the last years of her life, she felt more powerless and more elusive about human nature.

And in the end, when Kamran died with his own children in the battle.

She suddenly realized that she never seemed to be walking on the path of benevolence and righteousness, but walking on a road full of blood and corpses...

On the way of the king.

"If I hadn't pulled out this sword, would everything have been different? Wouldn't ancient Britain have died? Am I an incompetent king?"

Because of self-doubt and self-reflection, Artoria embarked on the road of longing for the Holy Grail.

This time, she hopes to redeem her mistakes.

She hoped that she would not draw the sword, so that there would be no legend of King Arthur, and there would be no demise of ancient Britain.

Everything will return to normal, and I can be freed from the shackles of the legend...

However, Kiana didn't know the twists and turns.

In her view, a person's complete denial of his past actions is like complaining about why he was born.

So when Arturia asked such a question, the first thing she thought of was to ask back:

"This is impossible, Saber."

"But the Holy Grail makes the impossible possible."

Arturia said slowly.

"What I'm saying is, you can't stop the course of history."

Kiana slowly gave King Arthur a heavy blow.

"Even if you hadn't pulled out the sword of election to unify Britain, this small change is just a little ripple in the long river of history.

Because in the original history, Britain had already perished, so the present human society existed.

Then even if someone draws the sword and no one draws the sword, it will not affect the final result.

Your ancient Britain will still perish. As for the process of perishing... it is caused by man, and naturally it is decided by man. "

"..."

When she first heard what Kiyana said, Artoria instinctively wanted to refute.

However, she couldn't find a reason to refute it, because the theory was very reasonable.

Now that the result is already predetermined, there is no point in changing the process.

That being the case, right and wrong seem to lose their meaning.

So what is the purpose of my existence in this world?

For a moment, Artoria became in a trance.

However, after a short trance, her eyes became firm again.

"Very thought-provoking point, but adjudicator...I shall have the Holy Grail anyway, because the suffering of Lancelot and others must end with me!"

Between denying all her efforts and insisting on going on, Artoria chose the latter.

As for this choice, Qiyana didn't have much thought.

After all, this is her wish, and it has nothing to do with her before it has a huge impact.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Arturia seemed to have noticed some clues, and switched from the state of the spirit body to the state of the heroic spirit.

Because they belong to the same Servant in this world, Kiana also noticed a Servant flying in the distance.
