me surrounded by women

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't answer, but raised his hand, and lit up the Command Seal for the other party to see.

"Here—the contract is completed."

The girl king put away the sword in her hand, and looked at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"...Let's go."

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the other party quietly for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Yes."

Saber slowly followed behind Emiya Kiritsugu, walking with Irisviel.

【My lord, I have come down】

Artoria, who was far away in Fuyuki City, received the message from her servant, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, cold and helpless.

【Is the Holy Grail War finally about to start...】

[I have a mission to come down this time, if I need it, I will tell you]

【Understood, my lord】

After the conversation was cut off, Artoria exhaled lightly. She was going to go shopping first, confirm the road conditions in the city, and then take action. This can be regarded as her first time participating in the Holy Grail War.

In the bustling area of ​​Fuyuki City, Artoria is extremely eye-catching.

A dark windbreaker was put on over the neat and elegant black shirt, and black trousers lined up her slender legs, her hair was tied up at will, and there was a smile on that pretty face.

Such a beautiful and handsome foreigner is very rare. Many passers-by stopped and stared at Arturia. The reserved Japanese would not go forward to disturb her. If they were in Britain or In the UK right now... Arturia might be harassed all the way.

"It seems that the level of technology here is not very high."

After comparing the levels in the other two worlds, especially after experiencing the technology of the 1448963 world, she sincerely hopes that the technology level of this world will develop as soon as possible.

"and……"

[There is a feeling of being watched...]

【Is it an assassin】

Artoria went shopping in silence, she stopped, turned and walked into a cake shop.

"Please pack it for me."

While watching behind her from the corner of her eye, she spoke to the waitress who was staring blankly at her.

"Oh, oh...Okay, welcome to visit next time."

The waiter blushed and helped a heroic spirit pack the cake, and even tied a perfect knot.

"Thank you."

"No, you're welcome."

After politely thanking her, Arturia left the shop with the cake.

"It's so beautiful... This foreign woman..."

The waiter covered her face, looking very intoxicated, she was fascinated by the other party.

Arturia doesn't know about this, and even if she knows, she doesn't care. She must dispel Assassin's suspicion now, otherwise it will be very troublesome, after all, she hasn't reported to the church yet.

Fortunately, Assassin may just be particularly sensitive to the appearance of foreigners at this time, because she soon felt that the feeling of surveillance disappeared.

【Looks like I have to go to the church】

Artoria thought so.

Immediately, she was attracted by a ramen shop next to her, subconsciously clutching her stomach, Arturia looked at this old shop that looked old, opened the door, and walked in happily.

It's still early today.

So, in the evening, Artoria finished shopping. I have to say that she still seemed very happy about this shopping activity.

"Now, it's time to go to church"

After a good day for her, Artoria finally got to work.

"Although I don't know where the church is, I can definitely find the way if I have the [intuition] skill."

The dumb hair on her head started to turn, pointing in one direction, and Artoria nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's go."

The church is outside the suburbs of Xindu, Fuyuki City, and there are usually no people there, except devout Christians, and the participants of the Holy Grail and their servants.

"Welcome here, ruler"

Half an hour has passed since a heroic spirit explained her identity. Now, she is negotiating with the supervisor of this church.

"All in all, there are loopholes in this Holy Grail War, so I was summoned by the Holy Grail (actually Gaia) to be the manager of this Holy Grail War—that is, the ruler."

Arturia is now wearing armor and returning to the form of a heroic spirit, which can add credibility to what she said.

"Don't worry, the ruler will only maintain the Holy Grail War and its rules. I will not intervene in it, as a ruler."

She didn't talk too much, after all, she still had a Saber class to participate in this Holy Grail War.

Kotomine Ri is showing a gentle smile, which makes people feel good about him involuntarily, but it has no effect on Artoria.

"Then I will trouble you, this Holy Grail War, ruler"

"Do not worry."

ps: Cough, this is actually yesterday.

ps: Although it is said that Saber was summoned earlier than my king, it takes a lot of time to be summoned. In addition, my king was directly thrown by Gaia, so it can come earlier than Saber.

Chapter 193 Departure on the third day, preparations

Looking at the scene outside the window, Saber showed a slightly surprised and curious expression.

"What are you looking at, Saber?"

"Your daughter and Kiritsugu are playing in the forest outside."

Regarding this, Irisviel just smiled slightly, she stood beside Saber and looked out the window.

"You were surprised to see Kiritsugu's side, right?"

"No, I'm not surprised by that, Irisviel."

Seeing Emiya Kiritsugu and Iliafel running towards the forest together, Saber looked away.

"I'm just thinking of Mordred."

"Mordred...? I remember it was yours, Saber..."

"She is my daughter."

Expressing understanding of the other party's unfinished words, Saber's eyes showed gentleness.

"It seems that Saber is very proud of Mordred."

Alice Feier walked to the round table, took out two exquisite teacups, poured the black tea from the teapot into them, and the rich tea fragrance spread, which made Saber, a servant who didn't know much about tea tasting, couldn't help but want to go Give it a try.

"Of course, although Mordred is my future daughter, I can see from Yide's memory that she is also a child I am proud of, even if there are some unsatisfactory things."

Saber recalled the memory about Mordred that she got from her future self, a gentle smile emerged on that always dignified and handsome face.

"Saber is the state of King Arthur when he just came to the throne"

"Yes, but this does not mean that I will be worse than my future self, so please rest assured, I will bring victory" [If there is no accident in this Holy Grail War]

Saber thought of the deity who had already descended and had the rank of ruler, and felt that the possibility of this was relatively slim.

Arturia, who was chanted by her servant, was meeting with the archer who participated in this competition.

In the high-profile and luxurious room, a very expensive and luxurious recliner is placed in the middle, and a beautiful woman with blond hair and red eyes is sitting on it, with a careless charm, but the arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes reveals a strange A sense of danger, especially when those scarlet eyes are staring at you.

Artoria couldn't help admiring the beauty of the other party from the bottom of her heart, even a flash of appreciation flashed in her eyes.

"Archer, Gilgamesh, I am the supervisor of this Holy Grail War, ruler, Artoria Pendragon."

In order to show her friendliness, Arturia used the highest etiquette to introduce herself.

"Humph……"

Gilgamesh narrowed her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She didn't sit up, which meant that she didn't agree with Artoria yet.

"Artoria Pendragon, King of Knights, I know your intentions."

"However, this does not mean that the king will agree with you."

As Gilgamesh's words were expected, Artoria nodded, and she continued

"King of Heroes, I know that you came to participate in the Holy Grail War to please yourself. If that's the case, why don't you participate in it yourself? Wouldn't it be better to experience it personally?"

While it worked out well for the other person's words, Gilgamesh felt she hadn't met the desire to get her involved.

"Some things can only be felt by yourself if you personally participate in them, don't you? Why do you want to be an outsider?"

Although Artoria didn't say anything, she just explained the situation objectively, but it was obvious that the King of Heroes was tempted.

"What you said makes sense, King of Knights."

"It's true that only by joining in can you feel the different fun."

"My king agrees and agrees to join this farce."

"same--"

She straightened up, her long golden hair was shining beautifully under the light, and her scarlet eyes shone with a wicked light.

"This king is also interested in you."

"I know this king so well—"

"Hmm..."

The slender fingers raised Artoria's chin, that arrogant and proud face was very close to her, a heroic spirit could feel the warm breath, with a strong interest in his eyes, Arturia still sat calmly in the chair superior.

[As expected of the King of Heroes in his youth, full of vicious humor]

"Please let go, King of Heroes, if you still have the etiquette of being a king."

"You are really interesting, King of Knights. I suddenly want to see your noble expression when it is destroyed...it must be very beautiful..."

Facing the indifferent and awe-inspiring expression of a heroic spirit, the corners of Gilgamesh's mouth curved further.

"This king likes beautiful and unique existences, and this king likes you very much, King of Knights."

"I really want to put you in my collection."

When a heroic spirit came out of that room, he felt that his entire heroic spirit was very tired and mentally exhausted.

"Sure enough, I can't get along with Gilgamesh."

She rubbed her forehead, frowning involuntarily.

Artoria knows the character of Gilgamesh, the heroic spirit. This is not learned from the seat of the heroic spirit, but in the more distant past, the unlucky one who crashed into the soul fragments in Artoria's body , including the understanding of Gilgamesh.

Although she didn't know how the soul fragment knew about Gilgamesh, it didn't stop her from taking it for a try. If there was something wrong, she could go back.

Fortunately, the Soul Shard's knowledge about Gilgamesh is correct, but the trouble is that Gilgamesh is interested in Artoria.

"Forget it, now I have completed a small goal, and I have a relatively good start with the archer. The next step is to know the information of the remaining heroic spirits. Besides Saber is my servant, I already know the identity of the assassin (I know a certain heroic spirit. After the identification, a certain priest immediately informed) there are four servants, Lancer, Rider, Caster, and Berserker, who don’t know their identities.”

Artoria tightened the coat on her body, buttoned her hat tightly, wrapped a scarf around her neck, and slowly walked back to the city along the path.

"I always feel that I must know the identities of other servants, otherwise it seems to have some impact on this mission..."

Walking on the road, Artoria's murmurs were blown away by the wind until nothing could be heard clearly.

"My lord, you seem to be in a good mood."

Tohsaka Tokiomi stood in front of Gilgamesh with a respectful look.

"Don't guess at the king's mind at will, Tosaka Tokiomi, a subordinate should act like a subordinate."

"The minister is terrified"
