Chapter 20

"Lancer, if I'm not mistaken, there should be an Assassin to the southeast, go and kill him!"

"Assassin?"

Hearing Shirou's order, Diarmuid looked to the southeast without hesitation, and then saw a dark figure crouching on a high place.

In an instant, Diarmuid unleashed his "speed" that reached the A+ level, dragging a green shadow and rushing towards the Assassin!

At this moment, Kirei Kotomine, who sent the Assassin to inspect Warehouse Street, is sharing vision with his Servant, the Assassin.

From the Assassin's point of view, Kirei Kotomine saw the warehouse street with only a faint moonlight and street lamps in the dark night.

"Huh... What ... is that?".

Suddenly, Kirei Kotomine saw a green shadow through the Assassin's perspective, but it disappeared from sight in an instant, which made Kirei Kotomine a little puzzled.

Just as Kirei Kotomine was about to order the Assassin to turn his perspective, he suddenly saw a scarlet spear that suddenly stabbed through the Assassin's perspective!

Whoosh ————!

In just a split second, the visual sharing between Kirei Kotomine and the Assassin was cut off.

"This ...!!?"

Kirei, who observed that scene from a first-person perspective, was frightened into a cold sweat, although his physical combat power was also considered strong among human beings, but after all, he could not be compared with the Heroic Spirit.

Therefore, at that time, kirei didn't even react to see such a scene full of crisis, even if it was very short, it also caused great mental damage to Kirei Kotomine.

"I have to inform Tosaka Tokiomi ... quickly"

Kirei Kotomine endured the discomfort of being mentally traumatized and began to contact Tosaka Tokiomi.

...

"That's it, Master!".

Diarmuid's figure jumped between the tall buildings, and finally returned to Shirou.

"Well, that's great, but Assassin has a lot of clones, and the one you just got rid of might just be one of many. "

Hearing this, Diarmuid raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes..."

"Speaking of which, what do you think of Assassin's strength?" Shirou asked.

Then, confidently, he flipped the scarlet spear in his hand.

"If it's just like that, it doesn't matter how many comes. " While Shirou was talking to Diarmuid, a voice came from the other direction.

"Hey, it's the two of you who provoke without permission, right?" A blonde girl in a black suit with a single ponytail walked towards this side menacingly.

...

Even in the heart of a bustling area, the combination of Saber and Irisviel is just as eye-catching.

A silver-haired girl with a noble temperament in a gorgeous costume, and a delicate and beautiful boy who was hooked by a girl's arm.

Even at a movie star-studded drinking party, you don't necessarily see such a perfect combination.

Images that used to be only visible on screens are now being brought to life on the streets of a city in Japan.

Passers-by often stop at just one glance.

The two just walked indifferently, not as intimate as lovers, not as excited as tourists, just walking along the street like that.

Occasionally, they would stop and smile at the windows glittering in the setting sun, or look curiously at the display windows.

But they just watched, but they never went into a store. They are like bystanders, walking down the street, but not in the midst of the chaos.

The winter sun has finally set completely, and the streets have been draped in another layer of color by the night.

Irisviel was intoxicated when she saw the colorful neon lights flashing incessantly in the landscape.

There are countless cities in the world whose night views are far better than those of Fuyuki City, but for Irisviel, all these things that she sees with her own eyes are the most beautiful and precious treasures.

"It's so beautiful... It turns out that as long as there are many people, the night will become so beautiful..."

Irisviel muttered to herself excitedly, and Saber nodded speechlessly.

For her, this landscape, which is far from the era in which she once lived, also brought her a lot of emotion.

But there was always a string in her head that was tight. This is enemy territory, and that has never changed.

Saber's ability to seek enemies is not very good, and depending on the situation, Saber wandering around may be discovered by the enemy Servant first.

While most enemies don't attack the crowd directly, they may take advantage of the moment to surprise themselves.

Even so, she did not force Irisviel , but chose to accompany her to breathe free air. It's all because she has unwavering faith in her sword.

She is the Heroic Spirit of the Seat of the Sword, one of the strongest classes chosen by the Holy Grail.

If it's melee, no one can be above her. She believes that no matter what the situation she fights, she will be able to handle it in stride.

Therefore, it is most advantageous to be attacked by a sneak attack, as long as you block the attack openly, and then find an opportunity to counterattack.

She will let all the stupid opponents who underestimate her know what it means to be a swordsman.

"... Saber, let's go to the sea. "

Looking at Irisviel 's unconcealed excitement, the boy girl smiled and nodded.

She must not be allowed to notice her nervousness. He had sworn to protect Irisviel , so even the joy that Irisviel experienced at this moment, Saber was determined to protect it to the end.

If you walk across the Fuyuki Bridge across the Fuyuki River, you will see a large seaside park. It was late at night, and only the two of them walked slowly on the silent path.

The north wind on the sea blew directly through without any hindrance, blowing Irisviel 's long silver hair, which danced like a meteor's tail.

In winter, because of the sea breeze, even couples who are dating are reluctant to approach.

And Irisviel , who saw the sea for the first time, did not care because she was endure to the cold.

"Saber, do you like the sea?".

"This ..." Saber smiled wryly, but his thoughts flew back to his distant homeland.

"In my time, my country... On the other side of the sea is a gathering place for invaders, so all I can think of is unpleasant memories. "

"That's ..."

Irisviel 's expression became solemn at Saber's answer.

"... I'm really, I'm sorry, we're both girls, but you're King Arthur, so you can't have time to go on a date with a knight or something..."

"Well, yes. " Saber smiled lightly and shrunk his shoulders.

Suddenly, Saber grabbed Irisviel 's arms and pulled her closer. And because of this action, Irisviel calm gaze met with Saber in an instant.

"... Enemy Servant?".

"Yes. "
