In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Irisviel gripped the handrail of the gangway, smoothing her silver hair that fluttered in the wind with her other hand, and looked at the city that was faintly visible in the distance, feeling a surge of joy in her heart.

"Saber, what are your thoughts on air travel?"

"Nothing special, more mundane than I expected."

Saber's crystal-clear pupils remained calm, a stark contrast to the pure white-clad girl whose face practically beamed with joy.

"What a pity, I thought you would thank me with a look of surprise and delight~."

"...Irisviel, you don't think I'm a caveman, do you?"

"Hehe~"

Irisviel winked playfully at Saber's furrowed brow and displeased expression.

Saber was somewhat displeased with the girl's teasing attitude and explained in a serious tone:

"Servants are given modern knowledge when they are born into the world. If necessary, I can also freely pilot this machine called an airplane!"

"Is it even possible to pilot an airplane?"

Irisviel looked surprised.

"My riding skills are applicable to all 'vehicles' except for mythical beasts and divine beasts. As long as I'm straddling the saddle and holding the reins, I can leave the rest to my instincts!"

Irisviel finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, but the laughter wasn't annoying; instead, it made Saber look puzzled.

Did I say anything that was funny?

"No, it's just that I realize Saber is just as naive as I am in some things~!"

"I think it's still different!"

Saber immediately retorted seriously.

Perhaps she was just as lacking in common sense as Irisviel in her understanding of modern knowledge. For example, Irisviel would mistake a silk shawl, knee-high boots, and a silver fox fur coat and hat for the attire of a commoner.

Saber had reservations about whether this was clothing for commoners. At least in her time, it was definitely clothing worn only by nobles.

But Saber's view on naivety has never changed—

She didn't think there was anyone more naive than Irisviel in the world.

When they passed through customs, the combination of the woman dressed as a man, the noblewoman, and the maid whose hair was covered up undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention, which immediately made the two of them feel uneasy.

Saber muttered to herself:

"My clothes are really weird, aren't they?"

Although Saber knew Irisviel lacked common sense, she didn't find the outfit she had personally chosen objectionable. She had always been accustomed to wearing men's clothing, and this style made movement easier. Besides, many people wore similar attire, so she wouldn't stand out like Irisviel.

Despite this, the fact that everyone they encountered along the way was staring at them made her vaguely feel that something was wrong.

Irisviel said matter-of-factly:

"No, that's not true. It's just that we're too pretty, so it's inevitable that we get attention."

Irisviel looked the girl up and down, praising Saber's clothes even though she had personally selected and customized them.

A navy blue shirt and tie, paired with a French-style black coat, makes for a perfect menswear combination.

Wearing this on Saber, who is only a little over 1.5 meters tall, doesn't look awkward at all; on the contrary, it looks absolutely stunning.

Her beauty is not the kind of beauty that is gender-bending, but her dignified temperament makes her beauty different from the glamorous beauty of ordinary women. Perhaps the only way to describe her is as an exceptionally beautiful young man with an ethereal temperament.

Her slender figure, fair skin, and youthful purity would inspire genuine admiration in anyone who saw her.

That's why Irisviel felt that the girl named Artoria might be even more naive than she was.

Saber didn't find Irisviel's explanation strange at all; on the contrary, she thought it was very reasonable.

Although she never considered herself a woman, Saber did not deny that she possessed extraordinary beauty. But she felt neither ashamed nor proud of it.

On the way out of the airport, Saber asked in confusion:

Aren't they coming with us?

No, it won't.

Irisviel smiled and explained, "Kira and the others are going to other places first, so they won't be coming to Fuyuki City with us."

"Other places? Where is he going?"

Saber frowned deeply. "He's not worried at all about letting his wife face danger alone?"

The Holy Grail War is no child's play!

Anyone who participates in the Holy Grail War must be prepared to be killed at any time. Even ordinary people who are accidentally caught up in the Holy Grail War may be killed by Servants or Masters for the purpose of 'secrecy'.

Letting Irisviel participate in the Holy Grail War alone is just sending her to her death, isn't it?

"That's not how it is~ The place Kira-kun is going to, I think it's called Itomori-cho. We were originally going to go with Kira-kun, but going to Fuyuki City was my own request."

"why?"

Saber blurted it out.

"Because of you~".

Irisviel smiled faintly, "Saber is looking forward to this Holy Grail War, isn't she? I don't want to hold you back because of my personal matters."

"..."

Saber's expression shifted slightly, and he remained silent for a long time.

Irisviel didn't want to restrict her with her personal matters, so she chose to go to Fuyuki City with her.

What about her?

Alice was forced to abandon her trip with her husband and go to the dangerous battlefield with him. Isn't this proof that she was bound by him?

Seeing Saber remain silent, Irisviel continues to smile:

"As for danger, I don't think so~, because I believe Saber will definitely protect me. Or perhaps, does Saber lack confidence in her own abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Saber's expression immediately became extremely solemn, and he said seriously:

"Irisviel, no matter what happens, I will protect you, I swear on my life!"

"Ah, I believe you, Saber."

Irisviel gently took Saber's hand and said with a smile:

"Since we've come all this way to Japan, let's have a big meal before the war starts!"

"eat……"

Saber wanted to refuse to tell Irisviel by saying, "Even before a battle, you can't be too relaxed, because the enemy could launch a surprise attack at any time"—but she said she wanted to have a big meal!

"It's really easy to understand!"

Irisviel wore a bright smile, but beneath that radiant smile lay a cunning, fox-like quality.

Just like Kira-kun said!

The legendary Knight Queen, if stripped of the heavy responsibilities she bore, was essentially just an innocent young girl.

Naive.

That means they are easy to fool.

Just like she was back then, she was easily tricked by Kira-kun.

That's how Saber is now. She's easily fooled by just a few words, without suspecting any ulterior motives. She doesn't even consider that going to Itomori and going to Fuyuki are not actually contradictory, and she makes the promise so easily.

That's not a good habit!

For some, a promise is a piece of paper that can be torn up at any time.

But for Saber, who is serious by nature, once a promise is made, she will do everything in her power to fulfill it.

But if she fails to fulfill the promise she made, she will surely be overwhelmed by guilt.

This kind of guilt is exactly what Irisviel needs.

A sly glint flashed in Irisviel's eyes as she muttered to herself:

“Saber, I haven’t given up on that suggestion from back then.”

-----------------

Standing atop the mountain, Yukino gazed at the lake shimmering in the bright afternoon sun at the foot of the mountain and the small town built around it, and asked curiously:

Is this the place?

Yoshikage Kira nodded slightly:

"That's right, this is Itomori Town."

Although I've only been here twice, and almost each time it was just a quick glance without staying for long.

But he was certain this was Itomori, the second most desirable town he had ever visited that he would want to settle down in.

The first place goes to Einzbern Castle.

The beautiful hands of the androids don't really matter; what's important is that Yoshikage Kira likes snow.

"Itomori Town?"

Yukino murmured softly.

"Eh~ it's pretty common."

Yukino Yukinoshita stuck out her tongue. "If Kira-kun likes this country style, Chiba has it! Compared to the Einzbern family, the Yukinoshita family may only be a minor noble family in the countryside, but they still own a lot of land there. So, Kira-kun, why don't you come and settle down with the Yukinoshita family? I'm sure Mother will welcome you!"

"elder sister!"

Yukino Yukinoshita scolded in dissatisfaction, "Don't make things difficult for Kira-kun!"

"Eh~ Yukino is so dishonest. You clearly wanted Kira-kun to come too, didn't you?"

Yukinoshita looked at her younger sister with a smile, not exactly confrontational, but with a hint of provocation in her expression.

Although you were here first, my aggressiveness far surpasses yours!

Love is something that you always have to fight for.

Especially when you assume there are other people competing with you, you might not even get a taste of the soup if you don't take the initiative!
