A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1237

"─────"

In order not to let his momentum be overwhelmed, he also looked back and stated the so-called policy decisively.

"No, I do. But that's just to prevent the Holy Grail from being handed over to bad people. I don't have any reason to want the Holy Grail."

"Well─────"

"But that doesn't mean I won't fight. Even though I'm still a trainee, I'm still a magician. I understand that I'm in a point of no return. I won't be hurt, and I'll live if I don't do anything. I know not to go down here.”

"Then the war that a magician cannot avoid──meaning that you are not fighting to get the Holy Grail, but to prevent the conflicts caused by the Holy Grail, right?"

"?...Ah, it will turn out like that. That's right, it must be what you said. Although it's hard to say, but since it's a battle like this, it must be valuable."

That's right.

To be honest, even if he told Emiya Shirou about the Holy Grail, he wouldn't be able to get the feeling of reality.

But if it was for that, he thought he could do his best and fight in an upright manner.

"...I don't understand. Shirou, you said you are a magician. In this case, you should want the almighty Holy Grail. It is only when you have a wish that you cannot realize that a magician will study magic, right?"

"What are you talking about? I don't have what you call unfulfillable wishes. I pile up the things I have to do as high as a mountain."

Um.

So now we just have to do our best to prevent innocent people from getting involved.

"────Does that mean Shirou doesn't need the Holy Grail? He won't fight for the Holy Grail, right?"

"I didn't say that. Since I'm going to fight, I'm going to get the Holy Grail."

"That's a contradiction. Why do you want something that you don't need to the point of fighting?"

"?"

No, because.

Winning and staying until the end means that you will get the Holy Grail, and more importantly.

"Isn't it necessary for Saber? Then you must get it."

"─────"

"Yes, I don't know what kind of people the other Masters are. Maybe there are good people among them. However, I have decided to stand on Saber's side. And if Saber wants the Holy Grail, then whatever It’s only natural to help to the best of your ability, right?”

"─────"

"...Well, although I learned it from my father, he said that if you want to be a partner of justice, you have to be a selfish person. There is no point in taking sides no matter who you are, so I just It’s better to be on the side of someone you can trust and like.”

"I haven't thought about it until now, but now I think I should. I can't fight for myself. But if I fight for Saber, that's fine."

Besides, let’s be honest.

This girl expressed her desire to get it with such a serious attitude, so it is only natural to want to help her get it no matter what.

...Well, after all, he is also a man.

"Then you won't fight if I give up the Holy Grail, right?"

"─────Hmm."

That's nerve-wracking.

If Saber says something like that, then all the premises so far will collapse, but───

"...No, even so it's still the same. I said I'm going to fight. So I won't run away. This is absolute, Saber."

Looking into Saber's eyes, she declared this.

Saber didn't answer right away. She took a long breath and raised her head to look at Shirou Emiya.

"I understand. Since you, as the Master, say so, I have no choice but to obey. My purpose is the Holy Grail, and your purpose is to mediate disputes. Even though the destinations reached are the same─── ─But, Shirou..."

The words stopped.

Saber seemed to be looking into the distance,

"I'm not sure, but Shirou will regret it... he will definitely regret it."

She spoke these words.

······

Because I didn’t have breakfast and it was already noon,

So I had Chinese food first.

Saber cannot become a spirit like Archer.

The magic power that could have been obtained from the Master was not provided.

Of course, no matter which one, it was because Shirou Emiya, the Master, was not yet a good person.

It seems that the consumption of magic power can be prevented by sleeping, but the replenishment of magic power cannot be said to be perfect.

In this case, the only energy replenishment is eating.

So as a cook, you must never relax.

"The Servant is materialized by magic power, right? If that's the case, that────Saber's magic power will not be restored, so will she become weaker the more she fights...?"

After putting away the tableware, Emiya Shirou asked while folding his apron.

"It doesn't mean that it won't be restored at all. Magic power is generated continuously as long as it is active. Even if the servant does not have a supply from nature, he can still replenish some magic power through his own magic circuit. "

"What? If that's the case, isn't there any problem?"

"...Okay, how should I explain it? Let me take a look, let's take the water pipe over there as an example. The faucet is dripping water now, right? Please think of it as my own magic power generation. Then , then the glass with water drops is me. Judging from the current situation, although it is drop by drop, the water is indeed accumulated in my body. "

"Next. Regarding the falling water droplets, the heavier the cup, the larger the faucet will open. As long as there is water in the cup, the water will continue to flow out of the faucet. But once the water in the cup is If not, that is, when the magic power stored in my body is used up, the faucet will be completely turned off."

"If this happens, the supply of water will stop and the cup will remain dry - that is the annihilation of the servant. If he is injured and cannot maintain his body, he will still be unable to maintain the magic power to maintain himself... Although the latter case is unlikely."

"...But, wouldn't it be enough if only one drop of water is left in the cup? Even if it's just a little bit, there's magic in the cup─────The faucet will turn on if it has weight, so as time goes by, the water will accumulate. ?”

"Maybe that's true. But the water accumulated in this cup is being lost at any time. The water will also be used when it is accumulated, and as long as we fight, the consumption will increase even more... and vice versa. To put it bluntly, the more powerful the action, the more water will be consumed. If I use my Noble Phantasm, even if the cup is full, there will be a danger of it being empty."

...The words have become complicated.

To put it simply, Shirou Emiya, a Saber whose faucet is turned off, recovers her magic power very slowly. After all, it's just a drop of water slowly dripping down.

For this reason, if there is a battle, the winner must be determined as soon as possible, and then sleep for a long time and stop meaningless activities.

You have to let the water droplets accumulate in the glass, so be it.

"────Sigh. So using a Noble Phantasm like this is very extravagant?"

??????????.??????

"Probably. But it's not impossible to use it. As long as the power is suppressed, it's possible once."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I let you do something like that? Saber, using a Noble Phantasm is forbidden. If you die because of that, I really don't know how to apologize to you."

Shirou Emiya placed the tea after dinner in front of Saber with a bang.

"────Hmm."

Saber frowned and stretched her hand in the direction of the soup.

─────At this time.

With perfect timing the phone rang.

"…Sunday, call at this time…"

Although he already knew this, he was afraid of what kind of counterattack would be waiting for him if he pretended not to be there.

"─────Hello, I'm Emiya."

"Hey - this is Fujimura -!"

"……………………"

I felt dizzy.

This is the strongest in a certain sense.

The events that happened one after another since last night were like riding a roller coaster. With this person's voice, the world was turned upside down and the life as before was turned back to the past.

"...What are you doing? I'll say it first, I'm very busy, Sister Teng."

"Whatever, I'm very busy too. Today I sacrificed my day off to take care of the students!"

It's incredible.

He looked very proud on the other end of the microphone, as if this illusion was happening before his eyes.

"Really? Then this is not the time to chat. There are no fires, no thieves, and no circus coming here. You can just enjoy the club activities with peace of mind."

A concise "Bye" cut off the conversation.

"Wait, wait a minute——! My sister is calling you with all the humiliation. If you dare to hang up without asking anything, you will be in trouble!"

...He has been miserable since last night, but there is no point in telling this person.

Besides, from the words "bearing the humiliation and bearing the burden", it sounds like this is a small life crisis for Sister Fuji.

"...Received. And then, what do you want?"

"Shirou, I want to eat a bento. How about the sweet egg omelette that Shirou made?"

"……………………"

"The above, ordering is complete. Please send it to the Kyudo Club as soon as possible. Click."

……Really are. What's going on, that teacher?

"...I can't stand it. I really can't help it. After all, the beast will make nonsense when it's hungry..."

Emiya Shirou put the apron he had taken off back on.

...But, there is still leftover lunch anyway. If you bake this small amount of eggs, you can add more immediately.

"It's done────Saber, please take a look at home. I'll be back soon, please wait a moment."

I walked to the corridor with Fuji-san’s special lunch box.

Next to me is Ms. Saber, who has followed me for some reason.

wear shoes.

Okay, pick yourself up and look to the side.

Saber was also putting on her shoes in silence.

"...Saber?"

Emiya Shirou called her nervously.

...No, I guessed how she would answer, but even so, I still felt like I had to ask.

"Um, what's the matter with you?"

"If you want to go out, I will accompany you. Because the servant is here to protect the Master. It will be dangerous for Shirou to walk alone outside."

...Sure enough, this sentence came out.

But this road must be taken sooner or later.

This is a good opportunity, so let’s make it clear.

"Saber. Master, don't you have to avoid attracting attention? In this case, it is safe during the day. As long as you don't stay in a deserted place, the other party will not take any action."

"I know that. But it's just in case. Because Shirou is still a young man, it's not okay if I don't follow you from morning to night, right?"

“What───────”

Does following him from morning to night mean that we are together at all times─────! ?

"Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, there's no way you can do that kind of thing! Besides, what should we do when we're together all the time?"

"Is Shirou testing me? People are the ones who should be protected most during sleep. Of course, I will be by Shirou's side."

"Stupid───────!"

Emiya Shirou hurriedly concealed his reddened cheeks and took a breath of air to calm down.

"──────"

Damn it, how could he be so stupid.

It was only now that I finally noticed such an important thing.

Fighting with Saber, doesn't that mean this...!

"Shirou, what's wrong with you? This shouldn't be such a surprise. I just did what Rin did last night, didn't I?"

Well……!

Are you kidding me? If that were the case, something would happen to me before I even fight...!

"That, that kind of thing is absolutely not allowed! I will prepare a room for Saber, just go and use that one!"

"……………………"

……Well.

Even if you look at him with strange eyes, he won't admit defeat.

"Shirou, I hope you won't go too far. I have tolerated most of the conflicts, but I can't give in on this point. Your policy is full of mistakes for a Master. If you don't tell me the reason, I will Won’t comply.”

Saber looked at him unconvinced.

Suppressed by this pressing momentum, he still looked back desperately.

"W-what's the reason...! Just don't worry so much and just stay calm. Nothing will happen during the day. Saber can just go and rest!"

"───I refuse. If you don't tell me a clear reason, I won't give in."

"But... damn, you really don't understand...! Saber is a girl, how can she sleep in the same room...!"

Saber's movements froze.

"Well... Anyway, after I come back, I will help you prepare a room. Before that, you can rest for me...!"

Emiya Shirou rushed out from the door.

Yes, it was a shameful escape. Moreover, he ran away from the battlefield without even any room for excuse!

"...Ah~ Really, that's too childish for me...!"

Patting the 80% red face, he quickly rushed outside.

...But, all in all.

Saber can understand that he said something so tough.

After you come back from school, apologize for scolding her and ask for her forgiveness───

Go down the ramp.

It takes thirty minutes to walk to school. Although it's a distance that you don't have to rush,

However, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but quicken his pace.
