Star Railroad: Great Guardian of Beloberg

"Servant Saber, you have obeyed the summons." Saber's sight finally fell on Alex. She took a step forward, and the overflowing magic power destroyed the entire warehouse of the Emiya family like a storm in an instant.

She didn't seem to have expected such a commotion, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

The terrifying power, the magic power provided by her master, made her feel that her body was filled up. If she didn't control the power carefully, she could destroy everything around her with just a wave of her hand.

"It seems you need to get used to your current strength." Alex raised his hand to block the falling ceiling and said with a smile: "Don't tear down other people's houses."

"Cough cough cough." Emiya coughed a few times because of the dust he ate, and Rin, who was standing aside, immediately showed an envious look when she saw the female knight.

Ahhh, the Saber I miss so much.

"Master, please give me your instructions." Saber didn't say much, but asked directly, who to kill.

Alex thought about it, touched his stomach and said, "Let's eat first."

……

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

Chopsticks were beating eggs in a bowl, and Emiya was wearing an apron and preparing ingredients for a midnight snack, making some tamagoyaki. There were also some vegetables and shrimps at home that could be used to make some tempura. Emiya, who was capable of living independently and doing housework, quickly decided on the menu, but...

Uh.

Why should I cook for them in my own home? Emiya looked back and saw that Mr. Alex had already sat in the bed, peeling an orange and eating it comfortably.

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

Emiya shook his head. Being a nice guy, he couldn't refuse other people's requests. Since the gentleman said so, then let's do it.

"Ahhhh!"

Rin looked at the silent, handsome and beautiful Heroic Spirit Saber sitting on the tatami, and couldn't help but hold her head, lying on the ground with her butt sticking up and saying in pain: "So, I didn't summon Saber at all? Even if it was Archer who appeared successfully! I really screwed up."

"Rin, pay attention to your image." Alex glanced at Rin who was shaking her butt after being hit, and said, "Be careful of others who will hit you."

"cough."

Lin blushed, and immediately sat back down, adjusted the hem of her skirt, and said, "We should have absolute initiative now... huh?"

Rin used Lancer's location to find out that the place where he stayed was actually the church.

The church is a neutral and supervisory place, which is also where Kirei is. Why would Lancer go there?

"Come to think of it, now Alex is both a Servant and a Master..."

"It's okay. I'll just give Saber to you when the time comes." Alex said, "I just want to see the Holy Grail. You're responsible for winning."

Saber pricked up her ears and listened. If it weren't for the movement of the ahoge on her head, she might have been mistaken for a wax figure - she didn't move at all. She had just arrived here and was still unfamiliar with the current situation.

Let’s talk about it after dinner.

"We now have the absolute initiative." Rin looked at Saber, then said to Alex: "Maybe we can take the initiative to attack."

"Okay." Alex nodded in agreement, "Eat and get some sleep. Tomorrow's mission is for you and Saber to complete the Holy Grail War in one day."

"One day is too dangerous." Saber couldn't help but say, "Master, I think we should make a better plan."

"No, Saber, you've been strengthened." Alex said directly: "Just go ahead."

Chapter 240: Start fighting

Although she did feel an unprecedented power, Saber still felt that this was a bit too reckless.

If I were to describe this power, Saber now has just one feeling—I can do anything.

"Okay, just listen to him, Saber." Rin propped her chin up and sighed. She felt like Alex was giving her homework, so she said, "Okay, then let's just clear it tomorrow. The school barrier and the various recent cases must be solved as soon as possible."

She didn't know Alex's strength, but from the glimpse that was transmitted to her, it was terrifying.

It's so terrifying that it's hard to describe. If he says he can pass it, then he definitely can.

"Then it is happily decided. Let's eat."

I have to say that Emiya has some cooking skills, and the midnight snacks he made are very delicious. Alex was generous with his praise, and praised the boy so much that Emiya felt a little embarrassed. Rin didn't say anything, but there was also a look of amazement in her eyes. As for Saber...

She gracefully and quickly devoured any food placed in front of her.

Looks very edible.

After a full midnight snack, Alex shook his stomach with satisfaction and asked Emiya, "Are you interested in being a chef? Among all the chefs I've ever eaten, your cooking skills are in the top ten."

This is already a very high evaluation, mainly because the food cooked by Emiya is very attentive and you can feel the chef's careful thoughts. Even the tempura, which is used as a midnight snack, is made softer and less oily, and plum tea rice is specially made to relieve the greasiness.

"Thank you Mr. Alex for the compliment." It was late at night, but Emiya was still obediently cleaning up the dishes and preparing to wash them before going to bed. He said, "As long as it suits your taste. As for being a chef, I haven't considered this for the time being."

Emiya glanced at the photo in the cupboard in the distance. He also had his own dream. Alex followed his gaze and said, "Is that your father? What's his name?"

"Emiya Kiritsugu."

Alex remembered that there was a man named Wei Qishi in Beloberg, who was currently serving as the chief justice. Because of his outstanding ability and pursuit of justice, he was now ranked in the top ten in the entire political and legal system. He was a capable person, and Alex remembered that he also proposed to supplement the legal provisions.

He is a person who cares deeply about procedural justice.

Exactly the same person as in the photo, is he from a parallel world, or is he the other person? Alex has no signal now, so there is no way to contact him to ask.

"He seems like a nice guy." Alex nodded and said, "Then I'll leave breakfast tomorrow to you, Emiya-san. Please accept this."

Alex dug over a piece of gold, and Emiya accepted it and quickly declined it, but Rin said in surprise: "Breakfast tomorrow? Aren't we going back today?"

"You and Lancer's fight just now made quite a lot of noise. Someone might have seen us. We can't let our classmates get into trouble. So we'll stay here today. Is that ok?"

"There's nothing wrong with me."

Emiya had no objection, as his house was big.

Lin wanted to say that she wanted to go home and take a shower, but she saw Alex took out a blanket from somewhere and went straight to sleep.

He had to see if he could contact Walter through the Ninth Agency and check something.

"Uh, Toosaka-san, I'll go prepare the bedding. And this Saber."

"No need." Saber said after eating and drinking: "I will be responsible for standing guard."

"Oh, really." Rin sighed helplessly and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Emiya-san."

……

The next morning.

A purple-haired girl came to the Emiya household. She walked in with a familiar look, and when she heard no movement, she opened the door and asked, "Senior?"

She was wearing a school uniform, with a smile on her face and a gentle look in her eyes. However, when she saw that the person sleeping there was not Emiya but another woman, the light in her eyes disappeared instantly. But after seeing the person clearly, she turned to surprise again. She asked in a weak voice without confidence, "Why is senior here?"

"Eh? Sakura?" Rin rubbed her eyes. She chatted with Saber until late and accidentally couldn't sleep. She looked up at Matou Sakura. For some reason, she felt that her expression was a little strange. She yawned and said hazily, "Why are you here so early in the morning? This must be Emiya's home."

"I..." Sakura Matou lowered her head, her falling hair covering her eyes. She didn't know how to answer for a moment, and her mind was full of thoughts.

"Yawn~" Rin sat up, shook his head, and said, "Speaking of which, what is your relationship with Emiya now?"

It was a simple question, but it could be heard as a question. Ying stood at the door in a daze, and at this moment, a man suddenly walked up to Rin and stretched out his hand to hook Rin's shoulder.

The new teacher you met yesterday?

Rin's face suddenly turned red, looking at Alex who was so close to her, and Sakura who was still watching beside her, what was she doing?

"Sakura, is that right?" Alex put his arm around Rin's shoulders affectionately and said, "I know Emiya-san, and I'm staying here for one night. Also...please keep it a secret for me and Rin at school."

Ying's eyes lit up again, and she covered her lips in sudden realization. It turned out that they had that kind of relationship. A smile appeared on her lips again, and she seemed to have regained her energy and said, "I know, that..."

"As for Emiya-san, he's in the kitchen. You can go look for him."

"Yes, then, I won't bother you two anymore." Sakura ran away with a red face. Lin had a strange expression on her face, pushed Alex who was hugging her, and stammered, "You...you...let me make it clear first, my dad won't let me date an alien."

"What?" Alex loosened her hand, pointed at the direction Sakura left with her eyes, and said, "As a 'sister', you are too bad at observing other people's emotions. She might have 'given' Emiya to you in her heart just now and was ready to leave. Besides, no matter how you explain, it's useless. It's better to let her figure it out herself."

"What makes..."

"She has an admiration for Emiya, she is insecure about herself, she admires you, and she is a little jealous." Alex said, "I don't know what she has been through, but it may be something you dare not imagine. She is not far from the abyss. On the contrary, I am surprised that she can still maintain normality now."

"Hey, Alex." Lin reached out and grabbed Alex's sleeve, looked at Alex with self-blame and disbelief, and said: "Has Ying really experienced something terrible?"

As they spent more time together, Rin began to believe every word Alex said.

If something that she couldn't even imagine really happened... She didn't know how to face Ying, the sister who had the same blood as her but was adopted by someone else. As a sister, she couldn't do anything.

"She's right here."

Alex released Rin's hand and encouraged, "You should go straight to her, right?"

"I understand."

"Remember to brush your teeth first."

Rin was frightened, and she exhaled and sniffed it, then glared at Alex with a red face. Alex turned around and looked at Saber who was silently in a corner.

"Master seems to be a very sociable type." Saber said this as a compliment. She had been watching from behind the girl, and like Rin, she had no idea of ​​the girl's reaction.

"Don't you think Saber can do it?" Alex asked curiously, and said, "As a king, this ability is a must."

Saber looked at Alex in surprise. As Heroic Spirits, they were basically heroes with prototypes in history. But she did not reveal her name—or rather, Alex did not ask.

“I don’t really understand people’s hearts.”

Alex looked at Saber. This seemingly weak girl was actually the famous King Arthur in history. Because she picked up the holy sword, her physical growth was frozen, so she still maintained the figure of a girl. I didn't expect that King Arthur didn't understand human nature.

Yes, how can you win people's hearts without big breasts? With Saber's figure, she can only pacify the world but cannot win people's hearts.

“Master?”

“By the way, does Saber have any wishes?” Although Alex didn’t think that the Holy Grail could fulfill anything, since it had been summoned, he might as well ask.

Saber hesitated for a moment, and Alex smiled and said, "Just say it. Even if you don't understand people's hearts, you have to express your inner thoughts frankly. It's not good to keep everything to yourself."

“Since the Master knows my identity.” Saber knelt against the wall and raised her head and said, “I hope that someone wiser and more suitable will replace me and lead the country to glory again, instead of suffering from war and division.”

"Oh, the regret and remorse."

Alex understood that King Arthur felt that he had not done well enough. Soon after Arthur's dynasty was established, it was divided and destroyed. He thought for a moment and said, "Successful people should reflect on themselves from time to time, but the purpose of reflection is to do better in the future, not to regret that they did not do well in the first place."

Saber looked at Alex in confusion. She could sense that the other party felt that her wish did not seem very good.

Since she is fighting as a Servant, she must want to obtain the Holy Grail. I talked about this with Rin last night. The situation of their group is very complicated. They occupy two places, but she is the only actual Heroic Spirit - and neither Rin nor Alex has much interest in the Holy Grail itself.

So, she wanted to win and fulfill her wish.

“If, Master, you witnessed that everything you had worked so hard for was ultimately destroyed.” Saber asked in a consulting tone, “and you were given a chance to return to the past and fulfill your wish, what would you do?”

"I?"

What if everything is destroyed? Alex's thoughts drifted away, and then he smiled and said, "If there is such an opportunity, I will not expect others to take my place. I will only work harder to solve all crises. Saber is also a king who is surrounded and loved by others."

He looked into Saber's eyes and said, "Then don't run away and rely on others. It's better to make yourself better. You don't understand human nature, do you? Have you ever heard of the truth doctor Veritas Latio, who is unparalleled in wisdom?"

It was definitely something he had never heard of, but Alex felt that saying this was very ceremonial.

"Who?"

Alex couldn't wait to share his "happiness" with anyone he knew, and said, "His courses also include courses on feudal monarchy, sociology, psychology, and a variety of engineering foundations suitable for national construction. After learning them, you will definitely be an almighty wise king."

Saber stared at Alex blankly, feeling that they were talking about one topic and yet not another.

"Come on, study hard." Alex was about to export some of Professor Latio's lessons and share them with him. He said, "Learning will make you progress, Saber. You will learn as long as you live. Even if you become a Heroic Spirit, you still have to study hard."

"Uh……"

……

My name is Shirou Emiya, an ordinary yet somewhat special boy. My father, Kiritsugu Emiya, is not my biological father. Ten years ago, a huge explosion occurred in Fuyuki City. I lost my parents and was seriously injured. It was Kiritsugu who treated me and adopted me. Under his guidance, I learned a simple magic trick - projection. I thought I would live an ordinary life, fulfill my father's wish, and become a partner of justice. Unexpectedly, I am now involved in the Holy Grail War.

"Involved? Just because I took one more look at the crowd." Emiya sighed, but it was still an interesting experience, and I could see a world I had never known before. He stood in front of the stove, cooking breakfast for many people, and thought: It doesn't seem like I was involved, it seems that I have become a logistics person for no reason?

"Senior."

"Ah, it's Sakura." Emiya smiled as he looked at the purple-haired girl who came in, Matou Sakura. The two of them had actually known each other for a while. At first, she was the younger sister of a friend, and later, due to some opportunities, Sakura came to his house to take care of her for a while, and also learned to cook. They became familiar with each other.

"There are so many people at the senior's house today."

"Ah, yes, yes." Emiya scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain. Sakura smiled and put on her apron, saying, "Let me help you, senior. Otherwise, we will be late for school."

Should we go to school? Emiya thought to himself: Something big is going to happen in Fuyuki City today. Mr. Alex and Ms. Toosaka will go and put an end to this war.

"Thank you, Sakura."

She is a gentle, smiling and skillful child. Emiya smiled and nodded, then suddenly saw some red marks on Sakura's hand and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"Ah, no." Ying quickly covered the back of her hand with her sleeve and said, "I'm not injured, senior, don't worry."
