The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"..."

"..."

This was a summons that was beyond the expectations of Matou Kariya and Matou Zōken.

but--

The result doesn't seem that hard to accept?

【The story doesn’t end here. 】

【As more and more servants come to Fuyuki due to the summons of the Holy Grail. 】

[The concentration of magic power in this city has also reached an unprecedented level. ]

[That is an atmosphere that ordinary people cannot perceive, but Servants and magicians can see through in an instant. ]

[The struggle and confrontation will be fully manifested in the next period of time. ]

A few days later, on the sea far away from Fuyuki Port.

A cruise ship was slowly taking shape - its destination was naturally Fuyuki, which was facing the bow.

On the deck, a pair of figures were standing side by side, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.

That was Altria and Irisviel.

According to Kiritsugu Emiya's arrangement, they disguised themselves as the Masters and Servants of this Holy Grail War and came to Fuyuki in a relatively formal manner.

This is a conspicuous way to help the real master, Emiya Kiritsugu, hide.

"Master."

Altria spoke with a specially corrected address.

"That man...isn't going to come back with us?"

The "that man" that the young swordsman was referring to was Emiya Kiritsugu.

When more information cannot be disclosed to the outside world, aliases like this are indeed a more convenient way of communication.

Hearing Altria's question, Irisviel closed her eyes and looked like she was feeling something.

Soon, she answered Altria's questions with a smile.

"He's already here~"

"arrive?!"

Up to now, Altria has not spoken a single word to Emiya Kiritsugu.

She had no idea what her real Master was planning.

The one who kept in touch with Emiya Kiritsugu was Irisviel who was beside him.

She seemed to have some special way to contact her husband quite quickly, regardless of the distance between them.

"Ah."

Irisviel nodded.

"Kiritsugu arrived much earlier than us...so there's no need to worry about him."

"I see." Altria believed the acting Master's words without a doubt.

"Let's not talk about this~"

Irisviel put the subject aside.

She looked at Altria, who had changed into casual clothes, and the smile on her face became even more intense.

"Speaking of which, Saber, you really are a clothes hanger."

“You look so good in whatever you wear… I’m so envious!”

"Yes, is there?" The girl who was praised felt a little embarrassed. "No one has ever told me such a thing before."

"is it?"

Irisviel rubbed her hands and blew gently into them.

"But it's not surprising... After all, you are the daughter of the king. When everyone sees you, they will probably be in awe, right?"

"Decided!"

Irisviel pointed a finger at Altria.

"I'll praise you more from now on!"

"Oh, that's not necessary, right?"

"Is necessary!"

"..."

"..."

Irisviel and Altria looked at each other and then laughed.

Their relationship is more like good friends across time and space than that of a proxy Master and Servant.

"Master, let's go to Fuyuki's residence first before considering these matters, shall we?"

"Well, you're right."

The cruise ship finally reached the shore.

Altria picked up her luggage and followed Irisviel off the ship.

But as she walked, the swordsman girl found something was wrong.

"that--"

"Master, have we made a mistake?"

“That’s right.” Irisviel replied.

"Are you sure?" Artoria looked at the road in front of her in confusion, "But this doesn't look like a way out, does it?"

“Eh?!” Irisviel raised her head. “But Kiritsugu said that as soon as I get off the boat, I’ll know what to do.”

"Then I should just move forward now, right?"

"Ah, wait!"

Irisviel looked at the ticket in her hand and stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"Saber, I think I got the date wrong... I'm early!"

"..."

Altria felt helpless.

She could sense that Irisviel was not really that suitable to be the acting Master.

Having lived in the north for many years, she seemed to have become accustomed to that comfortable life. Now that she is out like this, she feels a little out of place.

It seems that I have to be more careful.

Realizing this, Artoria began to pay close attention to the situation nearby with absolute seriousness.

And this serious attitude made her aware of the enemy.

Or should I say——

It was the other party who took the initiative to expose himself.

Somewhere in the port.

A woman in black tights appeared in front of Altria and Irisviel.

She pointed the dark red spear in her hand at Altria, as if she could see through the girl's true identity at a glance.

"You are also a Servant, right?"

"Come--"

"Use all your strength to kill me!"

287. Altria vs. Scathach! Unexpected help! (4k)

Everyone in the world is pursuing what they desire.

Some people are wealth;

For some people, it is life span;

Some are partners;

But what Scathach was looking for was death.

That's right.

As the queen and gatekeeper of the "Kingdom of Shadows", Scathach has been pursuing her own death from beginning to end.

She wanted to be rid of this everlasting life form.

Even though that way of dying might be a little shabby, she would not have any complaints.

of course.

If possible, Scathach would prefer to be killed by her disciple Cu Chulainn himself.

Because in that way, I would have witnessed his graduation.

Thus, with the blessing of this hope, Scathach and the Holy Grail developed a strange resonance.

But this cup, which is said to be able to fulfill all wishes, did not bring her the death she hoped for.

But it was the exact opposite of her, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not avoid the call of a man named Kenneth who was dying.

Under such circumstances, Scathach had a miraculous suspicion about him.

Are there people in this world who cannot escape their own death no matter what?

Ever since——

She responded to the call and came to Kenneth in a rather special state.

Scathach calls this action "contact with death."

of course.

She did not admit that she was his Servant - because the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom would never be anyone's subordinate.

She was also unwilling to tell the man with an extremely dangerous hairline about the future she had seen.

That is something that goes against the code of conduct.

but--

In order to understand how to replicate this fate where death is inevitable no matter what.

Scathach was still very happy to do things according to the other party's instructions.

If there was no woman named Solawu——

Years of exile and control have already enabled Scathach to develop a pair of eyes that can see through other people's minds.

She could tell at a glance that the woman named Solawu did not love her husband at all.

No.

Simply "not loving" is probably not enough to describe this woman.

It was obvious that they were together out of necessity, and to say that they were annoyed might be an understatement.

Scathach was certain that Solau would betray her husband if given the chance.

This can be seen from his resistance when Kenneth gave him the order to offer the demon in order to win the Holy Grail War.

but--
