the difference is.

No one lives here anymore.

"How is this going?"

Yukinoshita murmured unconsciously.

"It's a meteorite."

"Huh?"

Yukino Yukinoshita pointed to the gourd-shaped lake below and said softly:

“Sister, weren’t you curious about how the wetlands where the divine body is located were formed? They were formed by meteorite impacts, including the former Lake Itomori. Every 1200 years, Comet Tiamat passes by Earth, and each time it breaks off a small piece of meteorite that falls on the land of Itomori Town.”

"You already knew?"

Yang asked in surprise and doubt.

Yukino Yukino denied this.

"No, I only just remembered it myself. Five years ago, when Comet Tiamat passed by Earth, I was still abroad. I just happened to see this news at the time, so I had some impression of it. Although I felt a little strange when Kira mentioned Itomori, it wasn't until I saw these ruins that I connected everything."

Yukinoshita blinked, then suddenly burst out laughing.

Yukino Yukinoshita is acting strangely. What are you laughing at?

"I suddenly thought of something, Yukino, why do meteorites always seem to land precisely in the impact crater?"

"boring."

Yukino Yukinoshita had a cold expression on her face; she should have guessed that Haruno would ask that question!

"It's not because I'm bored!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's playful smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression as she asked:

"Otherwise, how do you explain why meteorites always seem to hit Itomori?"

One time was a coincidence, or just bad luck.

But comet Tiamat, which only passes by Earth once every 1200 years, breaks off a small piece of meteorite every time it passes by, and every time it happens to hit Itomori Town. What a coincidence!

There must be some special reason, right?

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

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Irisviel gazed out the window at the bustling streets and sighed softly:

"It's so lively..."

"Kira...when will he arrive?"

Unlike Irisviel, who was enjoying the atmosphere, Saber simply observed the surrounding plants and trees coldly through the window.

For her, the moment she entered Fuyuki City, she was already prepared to be attacked at any time, and it was essential to scout out the surrounding environment.

"It'll probably be tomorrow, right?"

Where is Kiritsugu Emiya?

"I don't know, but he should already be here."

Irisviel shook her head. She had no contact with Kiritsugu Emiya, not even a way to contact him.

However, Kiritsugu Emiya set off two days earlier than them, so he should have arrived in Fuyuki City long ago.

"So what should we do next?"

Saber's brow furrowed even deeper.

Irisviel thought for a moment:

"Hmm~, I think there's nothing that absolutely needs to be done."

Saber finally couldn't help but ask loudly:

Don't you have any concrete plans?

This is the Holy Grail War!

Do you really think you're here for tourism?

And there's also Emiya Kiritsugu!

He was clearly her true Master, but he simply disappeared.

Isn't this just using them as bait?

Even if Kiritsugu Emiya really does that, don't you have any countermeasures prepared?

Who would recklessly step into the battlefield without any preparation?

Yes, there are.

Irisviel said in a serious tone:

"Kira told me that I should find my own differentiated track, realize value transformation by simply reusing the accumulated potential, find my own vertical field through unique means, realize industry co-construction and platform integration, and find the refined tipping point of the red ocean industry through a point-line combination of focused tactics... um~ I forgot the rest."

"so?"

Simply put, it's not finished yet.

Looking at the bewildered Saber, Irisviel grinned mischievously, like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank.

Before Saber could lose her temper, Irisviel grasped the hand of the woman dressed as a man and looked directly at Saber with expectant eyes:

"Hey Saber, this is a rare opportunity, let's go shopping!"

Saber's expression turned serious, and she straightened her face.

"Irisviel, the Holy Grail War is a war declared without warning. The enemy may be lurking all around us. We can no longer afford to be so leisurely!"

"Didn't Saber say she would protect me?"

Even so…

Saber wanted to tell Irisviel that she should be more careful, but Irisviel only gave a faint smile:

"It doesn't matter what kind of enemy we encounter, because we are already in an invincible position!"

Saber hesitated, though she certainly possessed a confidence that rivaled that of any Servant.

But my dear wife, do you really trust me that much?

I'm not even your Servant!

Chapter 219 We are already in an invincible position!

As night deepened, only Irisviel and Saber remained on the quiet beach of the seaside park.

The howling sea breeze swept across the room without any obstruction, blowing the girl's long silver hair, which danced like the tail of a shooting star.

Gazing at the boundless ocean, with the sound of crashing waves filling her ears, the girl took off her boots and danced barefoot in the waves. Feeling the coolness of the seawater, a faint blush rose on her fair cheeks, and a satisfied smile gradually spread across her face.

"So beautiful!"

Looking at her like this, no one would guess that she is already married and has children.

Her smile was so innocent and pure, as if she were still a 9-year-old child.

"It's so pleasant to be accompanied by a man while walking in an unfamiliar city~".

Are you satisfied with me as a 'man'?

Saber, who was usually serious, asked in a slightly teasing tone.

"Impeccable! You are the most perfect knight in the world today!"

“It is a great honor, Your Highness.”

Saber, like a true gentleman, touched his chest in thanks.

The most perfect knight?

A hint of sadness flashed in Saber's eyes; that was how everyone described her.

He was a perfect knight, but only a knight.

"Did Saber ever imagine that she would become a princess?"

Irisviel winked playfully, even though she knew Saber would deny it in a serious tone, she just liked teasing Saber.

Saber remained silent for a long time, then surprisingly nodded calmly:

"Have."

"Huh?"

Irisviel's mouth was slightly agape, unable to hide her astonishment.

"Before I died, I kept thinking, if I hadn't been the one to pull the sword out of the stone, would Britain have had a brighter future? And would I have been fortunate enough to become a beloved princess?"

Irisviel stared blankly at the longing look on Saber's face. Could it be that Saber, who was so serious, had ever had such childish fantasies?

Before this, Irisviel could never have imagined that Saber could have such a girlish side. Even after seeing and hearing it with her own eyes and ears, she still wondered if it was some kind of illusion.

Because this was completely different from the Knight King she had imagined!

Irisviel stepped forward, took Saber's hand, and asked in a gentle tone:

"So, this is Saber's wish? To go back to the time when the sword was pulled from the stone and to choose a new king."

The fleeting look of longing on Saber's face vanished, replaced by unwavering determination in her eyes:

No, I don't regret it.

"Even if Britain is destroyed, even if I am destined to die, I will not regret pulling the sword from the stone. My wish..."

The girl paused briefly, then forced a smile:

"I'm sorry, Irisviel, please forget my ramblings."

"But……"

Just as Irisviel was about to speak, Saber suddenly grabbed Irisviel's arm, pulled her closer to herself, and shielded her with her body.
