This kind of statement is tantamount to expressing one meaning - that is, "I hate the current Master."
In a way, this is actually very disadvantageous behavior.
This is also the reason why Altria feels that she should not confess - although she does not want to be summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu, it does not mean that she will not fulfill her duties.
After all, once the Master and the Servant begin to distrust each other, it will sooner or later escalate into an irreconcilable conflict.
She didn't want things to turn out like this.
But whether Irisviel could accept what he said was an unknown.
However, the result was not as bad as expected.
After hearing what Altria said, Irisviel was not angry, but became a little depressed.
She tilted her head slightly, looking like a scientist who had come across an unsolved mystery.
"You and Kiritsugu really have a tacit understanding in a certain sense."
"One is unwilling to summon the other."
"One is unwilling to be summoned by the other."
"Do you guys... really hate each other that much?"
"Well..." Altria shook her head and forced a bitter smile, "I don't know either."
"But don't worry, Ellie."
"Although I do not like being summoned by him, I will never slack off because of this - I will do my best to give you the chance of victory."
"I know~"
Irisviel responded with a smile.
"After all, Saber, you look like a serious person~"
"But then again—"
Irisviel's eyes fell on the weapon in Altria's hand.
It was a long cross sword that looked quite old.
Its surface was covered with red rust, and it looked as if it could break at any time.
But Altria seemed to treasure it very much and always held it tightly in her hand, not showing any intention of loosening her grip.
"Your weapon... looks like it's about to break down?"
"Eh?"
After hearing what Irisviel said, Altria looked down at the weapon in her hand.
In an instant, the eyes as green as the sea of trees were filled with a bit of affectionate memories of the past.
Irisviel grasped this point keenly.
"Oh... From what you say, this weapon seems to be very important to you?"
Perhaps he felt that there was no need to hide it from Irisviel, or perhaps what she said really hit the nail on the head about how he felt in his heart.
After a moment's hesitation, Altria responded directly to the question.
"Ah."
"This weapon is truly important to me - it is a gift from my favorite person."
"Hey?"
Irisviel's cheeks flushed slightly, and she seemed to be quite interested in this romantic love history.
"Saber, tell me more!"
"Let me learn more about this."
"..."
Faced with the "order" from the acting Master, Altria looked a little embarrassed.
After all, the one who was summoned this time was not the king on the throne, but a girl who still had beautiful fantasies.
In the end, Altria nodded and chose to share her story with Irisviel.
I saw Artoria gently wiping the rather ordinary long sword in her hand, and then she recounted the past in a rather nostalgic tone.
"Ellie, it's like this..."
Ten minutes later.
Irisviel learned from Altria how she and Ian met, and also understood the true origin of the sword.
"God..."
The lady who had lived in the castle for many years covered her mouth, looking very moved.
"Is this actually your love token sword?"
“It’s so romantic~”
"Probably..." Altria's expression seemed a little happy, yet a little shy.
The girl actually really liked others praising herself and Ian in this way, but etiquette told her that it was a little too frivolous.
"Anyway, Ellie, now you can understand what this sword means to me?"
"I understand, I understand~"
Irisviel did not hide her inner thoughts.
"But--"
"If you hold a weapon like this, will it affect your combat effectiveness?"
This is a very reasonable doubt.
After all, that sword doesn't look that reliable.
“Don’t worry.” Artoria responded to Irisviel, “Because of the special nature of this weapon… I will never use it in combat.”
"Instead—"
The old sword in Altria's hand began to transform into blue particles and dissipated.
Then the golden light quickly gathered in her hands, and finally formed a shape like a long sword.
Altria reached out and grasped it, allowing it to finalize its shape.
It was a gleaming golden blade, somewhat similar in appearance to the previous weapon, but with a completely different texture.
Alice had naturally never seen this thing before, and her brows were full of confusion.
And Artoria realized this, so she quickly explained.
"This is the golden sword of victory (Caliburn)."
"Compared to the previous sword, it has better combat capabilities - I will use this weapon to fight for you."
“I see~” Irisviel nodded thoughtfully, “Is it a knight with two blades?”
"That's really exquisite... As expected of King Arthur!"
"It's just a little habit." Altria politely responded to the compliment from the acting Master.
"No, no, no, small habits are what best reflect a person's essence~"
Irisviel said so.
"But that's enough for today."
"I'm a little tired. I need to go and rest first."
"Next time—"
Irisviel looked at Altria in front of her, her eyes full of smiles.
The experience from this servant seemed to remind her of many happy past events.
"Let me tell you the story of me and Kiritsugu~"
"I see. I will be looking forward to that day very much."
[This happened thousands of miles away from the Clock Tower]
【You know nothing about this.】
[However, the moment Altria was summoned, you found yourself feeling touched.]
[But you don’t take this feeling too seriously.]
[After all, as Sakura Tousaka opened her own magic circuit, you found yourself having similar feelings from time to time. ]
【Everything is going on as usual.】
Clock Tower, Edelfeldt's "branch".
Luvia listened to her stepsister's story attentively, then exclaimed.
"what?"
"Vivian wants us to stop sending things over there?"
"Yeah!" Toosaka Sakura nodded, "Teacher Vivian also said, 'If you send it again, it will definitely be wasted in the end.'"
"This……"
Luvia bit her lip, looking quite embarrassed.
She never expected that the superpowers that her family had always been proud of would fail at this time.
But now doesn't seem to be the time to worry about such things.
"alright, I got it."
"If that's the case, don't bring it over again."
"Yeah!" Toosaka Sakura nodded obediently.
"That--"
"Sister Luvia, I'm going to learn magic from Teacher Vivian now!"
"it is good."
Seeing her sister turn and leave, Luvia sighed.
She was not jealous of Sakura Tousaka's magical talent, but was worried that Vivian would not do her best to teach her adopted sister.
I hope this great magician can do what he says.
Just as Luvia was worried, a servant leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.
The Finnish lady immediately shouted out.
"what?!"
"You said Kenneth's things were stolen?"
[You were not aware of the Clock Tower theft.]
[As usual, you followed Sakura Tousaka to Vivian's office. ]
[And this powerful Clock Tower magician is also teaching his only student attentively as usual. 】
[But you can clearly sense that there is a hidden tendency in Vivian's words.]
[She seemed to be guiding Tousaka Sakura towards a different path than before. ]
[This makes you a little worried—what is Vivian doing? ]
Inside the magic workshop in the clock tower.
Toosaka Sakura opened her eyes.
Under Vivian's guidance, she, despite being still young, has already gained an extremely deep understanding of her own magic circuits.
This is something that some magicians who are several times her age have never been able to do.
The Tosaka family's magical talent got a great opportunity to show off in a foreign land.
