Chapter 15 Courting Death(1/2)
Saber opened his eyes: "What's the problem?"
Shirou looked at Saber's eyes and couldn't say anything. In desperation, he changed the topic: "That, Saber, if he got the saint, he seemed a little surprised, and immediately became a little sad: "The Holy Grail is omnipotent. As long as you get the Holy Grail, you can realize any wish, so you want to get it."
"That's why I said, what wish do you want to achieve?" Shirou scratched his head.
After pausing for a while, Saber asked calmly: "Is this question an order as a master?"
"No, no, if you don't want to say it, forget it." Shirou shook his head quickly after hearing this: "After all, no one's wish is completely willing to say to others. Uh, sorry."
Finally, he added: "If possible, please don't call me master again next time, just call me Shirou."
Saber was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "No, Shirou is not wrong. Because as a servant, he must express his wish to the master."
Then, she said that in addition to the reasons for her desire to obtain the Holy Grail: "I seek the Holy Grail reason for being able to fulfill a certain obligation."
"Operation?" Shirou looked at Saber in confusion.
"In order to fulfill a certain obligation in my life, I need the power of the Holy Grail." Saber said with a sad face as if he had thought of something very sad.
"Did you want to fulfill a wish you had been to serve before?" Shirou suddenly jumped in his heart and asked hurriedly.
"Yes," Saber nodded, then quietly closed his eyes and whispered in a low voice as if he was talking to himself: "But maybe I just want to do it again."
Is it an illusion? At that moment, Shirou felt that Saber's face was filled with painful confession.
After pausing, saber said, "Sirou, I want to say something, I hope you understand."
"Hey? My understanding, what are you talking about, saber?" Shirou asked strangely when he heard this.
Saber looked apologetic and did not even dare to look at Shirou's face: "Please forgive me for not fulfilling the most basic obligations of those who follow you."
"Operation? What, fight? No, what?" Shirou was very confused.
"It's just to tell your master who he is." Sabar's head lowered.
"Ah?" Shirou was stunned and then understood what was going on.
It's the real name of the follower.
The summoned servants are all powerful beings in ancient times, and they are very good at in some aspects. As long as you know the true identity of your servant, you can play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, play to your part, fight, and increase your winning rate. This is a necessary job for the servant and the master in the Holy Grail War. But why does Saber say so now?
"That, although I don't mention Shirou's situation, when facing the enemy, he will be intervened by the enemy because his magic resistance is too low. At that time, the enemy will know my true identity. The enemy will attack through our weaknesses, making the situation unfavorable to us." Feeling Shirou's gaze, Saber explained.
Oh, that's right. Shirou understood and nodded.
Indeed, if you know the true identity of the hero, you can find out his weaknesses and shortcomings based on his history. By attacking this, you can break through the enemy. The masters in the Holy Grail War are all magicians. They must have strong strength, and some may also have precious magic eyes. If you encounter them, with your own strength, you will definitely be dug up even the most embarrassing thing when you were a child. Well, so it's better not to know Saber's true identity, if you know...
Wait, it's not right!
Shiro's face suddenly changed drastically and he looked at Saber in horror.
Saber was startled by Shirou's twisted face and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong, Shirou, does the wound hurt again?"
"No...No..."
By the way, what should I do if I already know your true identity and even know your treasure?
Shirou suddenly fell into uneasy thinking and became distressed.
At this moment, Saber's voice sounded: "Shirou, Shirou."
Shirou came back to his senses, his dissipated eyes refocused, and suddenly saw a cute face that was so close to him.
Saber suddenly approached Shirou in a calm voice, and she asked in a concerned voice: "What's wrong? Shirou, her face is very bad, her injury has not healed yet, so did it hurt again just now."
The breath that the girl exuded when she spoke touched Shiro's face, and Shiro's face suddenly turned red.
Saber suddenly realized it, but saw Shirou blushing and his ears changed color: "Ah, it turns out that it was because the wound was not healed, so he forced his movements just now, so the wound was torn open. Shirou, please let me..."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, Shirou suddenly screamed in panic and rushed out far away against the wall: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine."
"Impossible" Saber shook his head and said firmly: "Please let me check the wound, Shirou."
"No, no, no, no, it's really okay, it's okay."
"No, I insist."
"It's really okay, it's okay, it's okay!!!"
In the afternoon, Shirou planned to talk to Saber about the next step, and asked Saber when his body would recover. However, as soon as he arrived in the living room, he found Sakura there. He immediately adjusted the expression on his face and greeted him with a smile. Then Sakura began to cook evening meals. Shirou had no choice but to give up and sat alone thinking about the next step.
Tosaka seemed to really not believe in herself, but planned to investigate herself. Although she didn't know why, but in the current situation, she might have found out that the school had suffered a catastrophe. Therefore, she could only take the lead and destroy the school's barrier, but this also means that she would go to war with rider.
The rider who uses the treasure must not be underestimated. Even the saber must use the treasure to fight against it, but in that case... no, no, you must not let the saber use the treasure.
Therefore, if you want to defeat the rider, you can only find Shinji himself, seize his spell book, and order the rider to stop attacking.
Shirou is still confident of dealing with Shinji, who should be considered a playboy. Although his order book has some aggressive means, it seems that he is not too strong and he should be able to deal with him. The next one is Saber.
Without the help of others, Saber was seriously injured again. She really could...
"Senior, senior."
A gentle voice called Shiro back. He blinked, and then he realized that there was a sumptuous meal in front of him. Sakura smiled and woke Shiro up the lost Shiro.
"Sorry, I'm distracted." Shirou shook his head embarrassedly, and then heard an excited voice over there saying: "It's amazing, Sakura, your cooking skills are getting higher and higher. One, two, three, four... twenty-four, well, there can be eight of them per person."
Shirou felt strange when he heard this voice.
The person who spoke is Fujimura Okawa, a single woman of twenty-five years old. Shirou has always called her Fuji Sister. She is a teacher at Shirou School and is also the only friend of her father Emiya Kiritsugu in this place... Well, it may be one-sided.
When I was very young, I don’t know when the person who claimed to be his sister often ran to his house to find Kiritsuji. At the same time... Well, Shirou thought a long time ago that the reason why his father Kiritsuji often traveled was because he knew that Sister Fuji had some inappropriate fantasies about him?
Later, after her father died, Fujime organized Kiritsushi's funeral. There was also a small episode, because Fujime cried the most sadly at the funeral. As a result, a few people who came to attend the funeral said to her, "Sadness and resignation", and ignored Kiritsushi's son.
By the way, the cost of the funeral was something that Sister Fuji wanted from her father, and the inheritance rights of her Kiritsugu's house were also handled by the old man. His father was the largest gang leader in Tomoki City. Shirou had seen him several times and helped him repair the car he liked to ride, but he got a very high reward. Shirou felt that although the old man looked a bit ferocious, his temperament was still very gentle.
Kiritsugu once said that the reason why Grandpa Fujimura became the leader of the underworld was because those people needed management and constraints, otherwise, they would not know what they would do.
After the funeral, Sister Fuji became Shiro's guardian. Well, she was very qualified. Basically Sister Fuji came every day. At first, she wanted to comfort Shiro, but later gradually evolved into... a free meal.
But Shirou still couldn't say anything about this woman who had a unclear relationship with her father, because a few years ago, Kiritsugu could go out less... Maybe if he was not careful, this sister would become Shirou's elder. So... well, so five years passed like this.
Now, this sister came to Shirou's house again for dinner.
By the way, if she asked Saber about it, what would I say? Shirou had a headache.
"Senior" Sakura suddenly whispered to Shirou: "That, the lady in the morning..."
Shirou was stunned for a moment, then realized that Sakura was saying saber: "Oh, she..."
At this point, Shirou suddenly woke up and said that he had eaten now, and Saber was still staying somewhere else. Moreover, he had forgotten her so easily. It was really unforgivable.
Suddenly, Shirou stood up and said to the two of them, "Wait a minute, I'll go out and come back soon."
Facing the puzzled sister Fuji and Sakura who was a little relieved, Shirou walked out without explaining much.
At this time, was she still there...
Sure enough, when he pushed open the door to the scene, Shirou saw the saber sitting in the darkness.
The faint moonlight sprinkled in, and one of them shone on Saber. Shirou looked at his face that seemed to be glowing slightly under the moonlight, and couldn't help but remember what happened when he first met.
Although it was only last night, it felt like a different life.
After a moment of silence, Shirou walked forward and said to Saber: "It's such a time, why are you still here? Saber will catch a cold."
Saber opened his eyes and looked at Shirou: "Until the master's command, the server should stay on standby."
"What are you talking about?" Shirou said angrily, and went up to pull up Saber: "Let's go, come with me, and I told you not to call me master again."
"And, let's unify the caliber with me first, a while... forget it, I'll talk to myself later." Shirou suddenly wanted to be discouraged and sighed: "But saber, don't speak."
"?"
In Saber's puzzled gaze, Shirou pulled her to the living room.
As a result, Sister Teng, who was happy to eat the seventh meatball, was stunned.
"Sorry, I forgot just now. Well, although it's a bit late, I'll introduce it." Shirou didn't know what kind of face he should show at this time, so he could only extend his hand to introduce saber with an expressionless face: "She is saber, and she is my father's abroad...a relative."
When he said this, Shirou was really painful, really painful, especially when he thought of his father Kiritsushi's black hair, dark eyes and yellow skin...
Saber was very puzzled by Shirou's behavior. He obviously didn't have to care about anything, just let her stand quietly. However, Shirou's choice was not like this. For this reason, he did not hesitate to tell despicable lies.
"Shirou..."
"Sit down, saber, or the food will be cold," Shirou hurriedly interrupted her and sat down at the same time.
But after a long time, there was still silence around. Looking at Saber who was still standing and Sister Fuji who was still stunned, Shirou thought that he should say something to ease the atmosphere, but what should he say?
Shirou's eyes swept around the dining table. Finally, he set his eyes on the plate where the meatballs were placed, so he said casually: "Well, if you have meatballs, you'll have six per person."
As soon as he said that, Shirou regretted it, but it was too late to cover his mouth again.
Sure enough, the King of the Beast suddenly rose up when he heard this.
"This won't work!!!" Shiro's guardian roared and stood up.
The sound that shook the mountain made Shiro's ears temporarily tinnitus, and his mind suddenly became drowsy. The angry sister Fuji pulled him to her side, then pointed at Saber and shouted: "Shiro, what's going on? Although it's not that you don't go home in the middle of the night to go to another woman's house to stay outside, why did you bring such a foreign girl home? This is not a hotel."
"..." Sister Fuji's words silenced Shirou for a moment, and then said in the most common tone: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the family is as big as a hotel, and there are one person and two more people..."
Yes, make this matter normal, slowly resolve it, slowly...
To be continued...
