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

Only two Masters appeared, and compared to Lancer's Master who is a magician, Irisviel was undoubtedly a better target.

"I'll shoot and stop him!"

Kuyu Mai said.

"No!"

Emiya Kiritsugu's expression shifted slightly, and he calmly analyzed the situation:

"Aim at Lancer's Master and fire the shot the same time Assassin launches his attack!"

He considered it a very worthwhile deal to exchange the death of a homunculus for the life of an enemy Master.

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

"Irisviel!"

Even though Saber immediately turned back to defend, and even though she was loudly warning Irisviel.

But Assassin was too close to Irisviel, so close that Saber, who was struggling in the battle, could not come to her aid in time. She could only watch helplessly as the dagger pierced Irisviel's neck and Assassin's shadow blocked her vision.

Snapped!

A tiny pink figure, resembling a suit, gripped a dagger aimed at the girl's skin, even though the tip was only 0.1 millimeters away. Yet, that 0.1 millimeters seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Assassin's expression changed beneath his mask. Startled by this sudden turn of events, he immediately tried to retreat into the shadows, otherwise he would definitely be killed by Saber's sword as she returned to defend.

But before that, Assassin heard a cold voice:

"You can see me, right?"

BOOM!

Before he could react, Assassin's body was still in mid-air, maintaining the posture of jumping from the top of the container to assassinate, and had not yet landed.

But next second.

Without a sound, Assassin's body suddenly 'exploded'.

This scene shocked everyone present; they were completely unable to understand how Assassin had died.

But they don't need to understand.

Because no one will remember what's happening right now.

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

"Saber, Saber?"

On the path in the seaside park, the blonde knight girl snapped out of her daze, and Irisviel was watching her with concern in her wine-red eyes.

“Irisviel…”

Saber's voice was a little hoarse as she trembled and reached out to touch Irisviel's cheek, as if to confirm whether this was real.

“Saber,”

Irisviel, oblivious to the girl's unusual behavior, took Saber's hand and whispered a word of advice:

“I know this is unbelievable, but…”

Saber hugged Irisviel tightly, the girl's voice trembling, her eyes filled with intense guilt and fear:

"I'm sorry, Irisviel, I misspoke. I failed to protect you!"

"Huh?"

Irisviel, who was just about to explain Lancer's real name to Saber, paused slightly, then widened her eyes in surprise:

“Saber, why do you remember…”

Chapter 220 Your wife is in my hands!

The third bomb: Losers eat the dust.

Once Bites the Dust is placed, it will activate regardless of the danger and kill the person who obtained the information, then rewind time to one hour earlier.

Furthermore, after the time rewind, only those who were set to "Bite the Dust" retain the memories of the time rewind; everyone else, including Yoshikage Kira himself, will not retain the memories of the time rewind.

But what's happening now is somewhat unexpected for the girl.

Because Saber clearly possesses memories.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have hugged him for no reason, her voice wouldn't have trembled, and she wouldn't have looked so guilty as if she was about to cry.

"Perhaps it's because I'm a Heroic Spirit?"

Saber hesitantly proposed this hypothesis.

"possible!"

Irisviel nodded solemnly.

Beings who become Heroic Spirits are freed from the shackles of time and move to the Throne of Heroes, located outside the world. Since Heroic Spirits are freed from the shackles of time, it is not impossible that they would be unaffected by Bites the Dust and retain memories from before the time reversal.

But if that's the case, then not only Saber, but also Lancer and Assassin would retain their memories.

Since Servants can retain their memories, they will inevitably tell their Masters about this.

In other words...

“Saber!”

Irisviel gripped Saber's hand tightly. "If Lancer truly retains her memories, please, no matter what, kill her!"

"it is good."

Faced with the girl's slightly pleading gaze, Saber remained silent for a moment, then nodded firmly:

"I would just unleash my Noble Phantasm to kill Lancer, but Assassin..."

"Don't worry, Assassin will definitely die!"

Irisviel's tone was full of confidence.

Even if they retain their memories, it doesn't matter; Assassins cannot change their predetermined fate.

Assassin will still die when the time comes!

Irisviel added:

“I have already informed Kira-kun, and he is on his way here.”

Saber was about to ask if they should wait to meet up when he suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance.

There, someone was recklessly releasing their aura.

It's Lancer, it's exactly the same as before the time travel!

Something seems off?

Irisviel blinked in surprise.

If Lancer retained his memories, he shouldn't be the same as before.

"Are you going?"

Saber asked.

"go."

Irisviel nodded slightly; she needed to confirm.

Is it only Saber who can retain memories, or can all Heroic Spirits retain memories?

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

Warehouse and dock.

Diarmuid stood in the middle of the road, raising his eyebrows slightly:

"This fierce fighting spirit... it seems you are Saber, isn't it?"

Saber didn't answer, but exchanged a glance with Irisviel, their eyes conveying a subtle tension.

It was a perfectly normal question.

But for some reason, it always seemed to exude a kind of naive stupidity.

So Lancer really has no memory?

Or is he actually faking it? Pretending he has no memory?

No.

Unlikely.

Even a knight as honorable as Diarmuid cannot lie completely freely, a fact Saber deeply understands.

and so.

He probably truly doesn't have any memories from before the regression.

Since Lancer doesn't have it, the possibility of other Heroic Spirits possessing it is very small.

"So, only Saber can retain her memories?"

Irisviel was both relieved and somewhat surprised.

If it weren't for her status as a 'Heroic Spirit,' how was Saber able to retain her memories?

Although I'm curious, since not everyone retains their memories, there's no need to worry too much.

"Should I unleash my Noble Phantasm?"

Saber asked softly.

"Need not."

Irisviel shook her head. If Lancer had his memories, she would have to kill him without hesitation.

But since he has no relevant memories, there is no need to erase him immediately.

Let's hold onto our trump cards for now, until we encounter other Servants.

Irisviel looked up and asked, half-jokingly:
