One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"Yes, but you didn't say what the Lesser Holy Grail is."

"..., didn't you mention the knowledge you were instilling?"

"No."

"Well, the Lesser Holy Grail is a container for the spirit essences of retired Servants. After about three Servants have retired, her body will be paralyzed; and when four Servants have retired, she will die."

!!!

Zhi couldn't believe that Irisviel, who was as pure as snow... would end up like this. "Bronya, you and Bai Ye will help, right? Just like before."

——After all, strictly speaking, she only survived because of the intervention of Byakuya and Bronya.

As for Sakura, Kallen, and Fujino, they hadn't worried at all. Although they couldn't quite understand what their sisters were saying, they trusted Byakuya and Bronya.

If fate is destined to be tragic, then the brother/sister will definitely intervene and change the future to what they want!

……

At the fast food restaurant, at Saber's insistence, Irisviel turned her head slightly away from her and spoke in an extremely gentle tone, "The Einzbern family..."

After this, there was a long silence. The androids created as tools, the Holy Grail destined to be sacrificed... all kinds of information assaulted Saber's mind.

"Ellie..."

Saber was about to say something when suddenly a slender index finger pressed against her lips. Irisviel leaned closer to Saber, her crimson eyes filled with tenderness. "It's okay, Saber. I've been prepared for this."

"Instead of talking about these things, why not cherish the present moment, right?"

"..."

Silently gazing at the pure, elf-like Ai Li before her, Saber slowly exhaled and performed a standard knight's salute. "Then, Madam, will you accept my invitation?"

"...Of course, it's an honor."

Looking at Saber like this, Irisviel was stunned for a moment, then revealed an extremely pure smile, like an angel.

205. Gun and Sword

Although Saber wanted to accompany him, Fuyuki City was too big and time was ultimately too short. Finally, under the cold moonlight, the two of them arrived at the beach.

The moonlight is like frost, sprinkling on the vast sea, adding some silver waves to the sea, quiet and beautiful.

“It’s so beautiful, like a mirror reflecting the night sky.”

Irisviel flipped up one side of her white hair, and with her flawless face, she looked like an elf under the moon.

In the past, she had always lived in that castle and had never come out in person. Now, seeing the endless sea and the brilliant starry sky... she was suddenly moved.

She took off her boots and walked barefoot on the beach like a child, stepping on the waves and releasing her innocent heart.

Seeing Ai Li like this, Saber's depression faded a lot and a knowing smile appeared on her face.

What a pity...it's already dark~

During the conversation between Irisviel and Saber, an undisguised fighting spirit soared into the sky, challenging all the Servants to a fight.

"Saber, do you want to accept the invitation?"

Irisviel remained as gentle as ever, her crimson eyes turning towards Saber. Although she was nominally the Master, she still left the decision to Saber.

"Oh, I wish for that."

Saber was slightly stunned, her holy blue eyes tinged with a hint of fighting spirit, and she accepted the challenge.

……

At the edge of Fuyuki City's port district, a vast array of containers and cranes piled like building blocks, barely a human figure in sight. Furthermore, a magician's repelling barrier enveloped the area, completely separating this area from the city center.

A rare handsome man was bathing in the moonlight, wearing dark green light armor, with short black hair gathered behind his head, and a bunch of flowing bangs made him look even more handsome.

In his hands, two guns, one long and one short, were wrapped in special cloth, making it difficult to see their true appearance, and it was impossible to use them to determine his true identity.

"This clear fighting spirit...it seems that you are Saber, right?" Dimuldo said his guess with a smile.

"Yes, you are Lancer, right?"

This kind of thing will become clear as soon as they fight; there's no need to hide it. Saber admitted it generously, then burst out with a burst of magic power, and silver-white armor covered her body in an instant.

"Exactly. I didn't expect we couldn't even tell each other our names before a decisive battle. What a disappointing restriction..."

As he spoke, Lancer flipped the two guns in his hands and took a stance, the perfect muscle lines on his body were fully highlighted, and it was obvious that he had undergone countless trials and tribulations in his life.

"Oh, Charm Magic?"

At this moment, Saber realized something and exchanged a few words with Lancer. Unfortunately, she failed to use this to connect the dots with Brush Brother's identity.

That's right, after all, there are so many heroes in history, how could it be possible to remember them all? And historically, Brush Brother is more famous for his twin swords, "Grand Fury" and "Tiny Fury," rather than his twin guns.

Lancer also noticed the invisible sword in Saber's hand... Was it deliberately hidden because of her fame? Her identity would be confirmed as soon as she saw it.

After a brief moment of deliberation, the two sides finally engaged in battle. Saber struck first, her invisible blade tearing through the air as she fiercely slashed down at Lancer!

"Chong-"

But it was obvious that it was impossible to defeat him so easily. Lancer parried the attack with the spear in his hand, then deflected his wrist, allowing the spear to miss the sword and quickly launch a counterattack.

However, as the Knight King, Saber had been on the battlefield for a long time. She took a step back to avoid the spear and swung her sword again.

The seemingly simple confrontation was actually condensed into a short moment, which was too fast for ordinary people to react to with their naked eyes. Even a magician could only see a few afterimages.

(Those who can fight against servants are all wall-hangers, these few are not good enough.)

The spears and swords collided with each other, and the wind pressure generated was enough to tear the earth apart, leaving the battlefield devastated.

During this time, the other groups also turned their attention here, and then...

"Kirei, are you sure it's Saber and Lancer?"

Located in the basement of the Tōsaka family, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt confused for a moment. After all, these two servants... had been confirmed before, so how could two more of them appear?

"Yes, Master. At least judging from their fighting style, it should be a gun and a sword."

"Ah this..."

Then it was obvious that a Servant had disguised his rank. Damn it, I really can't underestimate others! Tōsaka Tokiomi frowned slightly, but when he saw the Command Seal on the back of his hand...

——It doesn’t matter, the king will take action.

Although as a pure magician, Tōsaka Tokiomi has no respect for the King of Heroes, this does not prevent him from considering him as his trump card.

Then there is the Rider group.

"Boy, are you sure that it was Saber and Lancer you saw that day?"

"What's wrong, Rider?"

They were on the Miyuan River Bridge. Waver stared at the river rushing down below, feeling completely dazed. He had no time to pay attention to the battle in the distance. (He couldn't see that far, after all.)

"Saber and Lancer have appeared again, and they are not the two you described." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Eh?!!"

"Okay, kid, don't think too much. As long as the battle continues, the truth will be revealed." The emperor didn't care about these at all, and his tone was full of heroism.

At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu and Hisau Maiya also arrived at the battlefield, quickly found a sniper spot between the containers, and locked onto Kenneth's position. However...

——On a certain crane, he saw a Servant who should have left the scene, an Assassin wearing a pitch-black cloak!

The sudden change in the situation caused Emiya Kiritsugu to give up his sniper attack on Kayneth. He was not yet ready to face the Servant directly. (The Director saved his life~)

Then there is Bai Ye and his gang.

"Not bad, really good..."

Although Scathach descends primarily as a spearman, she actually has some knowledge of magic, and the "Original Rune" is not just for show.

The group had arrived long ago, but their figures were concealed by Scathach's rune magic, so they were not discovered.

"Wait a little longer, Master."

Bai Ye had already put on his Evol armor, the compound eyes on his black and white visor flickering faintly. "It's very rude to casually intervene in other people's battles."

Scathach didn't reply, but just held the scarlet magic spear in her arms, suppressing her fighting spirit slightly.

On the side, Shi still kept a distance from strangers, silently observing the clash of guns and swords, secretly comparing it with himself.

Of course, Bai Ye also transferred the video to Bronya - he promised to let the four little ones watch, and as an adult, he can't easily break his promise~

206. The Emperor's ridicule

“Clang, clang—!”

Sword and spear collided, the aftermath tearing the earth apart. During this time, Saber also discovered that Lancer's pistol did not seem to be a covert weapon; he wielded it very smoothly.

Unfortunately, in the fierce battle, Saber did not have the leisure to think about these things, and once again missed the opportunity to see through the opponent's identity.

On the other hand, Lancer also felt a little troubled - he had no idea of ​​the size of the opponent's sword, and it was difficult to control the fighting distance.

Another collision, the invisible blade slashed across, leaving a shallow gash on Lancer's face. Relatively speaking, he was the one who suffered a subtle loss.

Finally, Kenneth could no longer sit still. He called himself a "true nobleman," but he couldn't even defeat the other party after coming to the countryside to participate in magic rituals. This was something he could not tolerate.

"Let's stop the game here, Lancer. Don't let the battle drag on any longer. That Saber is a formidable foe, kill her quickly! I allow you to use your Noble Phantasm."

"Understood, my lord."

Lancer casually discarded the pistol and untied the cloth from the spear, finally unlocking Red Rose's magic-breaking ability. (The main film begins here)

When the two sides clashed again, the red rose tore through Saber's Wind King barrier, and the golden light was exposed in the darkness, extremely conspicuous.

"Your sword is exposed, Saber."

As he spoke, Lancer continuously swung the spear in his hand. Each collision revealed Saber's sword, and he gradually gained a clear idea of ​​the sword's approximate size.

Because of this, Lancer's movements became more relaxed, and he was no longer confused by the invisible attack range.

And then……

A classic scene unfolded. Saber attempted to use her armor to block Lancer's spear and counterattack, but the red rose pierced her magical armor, sending a shower of blood.

(The gap between ideal and reality~)

"how come?"

After being healed by Irisviel, Saber touched the armor around her waist and found that it was not damaged. It was obvious, "I have discovered the secret of your gun, Lancer."

"That red gun can cut off magic power, right?"

"Your armor is generated by magic. If you want to use it for defense, you'd better give up, Saber."

Lancer generously admitted this, and then came the famous line: "In front of my gun, you are as naked as a body."

……

"Master, why are they taking a break in the middle of a fight? If it's a fight, shouldn't they kill the opponent instantly? Why give the opponent a chance to breathe?"

Bai Ye imitated Mr. E's temperament and sat cross-legged on one leg, with one hand supporting his head and his elbow resting on his bent knee. He looked quite charming.

"It's the mutual respect between warriors."

Scathach suppressed her voice, and her pair of gorgeous red eyes glanced at Bai Ye beside her from time to time, and her desire to fight grew stronger.

"Is that so~ That's right, after all, we came from the Throne of Heroes across time and space, it's an almost miraculous encounter." Bai Ye hadn't noticed it yet, and was just sighing to himself.

???

Suddenly, a few small question marks seemed to pop up in Bai Ye's head - Saber took the initiative to remove the armor, and was caught off guard by Lancer picking up the yellow rose, and the tendon in her left hand was cut off.

Although he fought back based on his ancestral intuition, a simple wound was different from a yellow rose after all.

"Ah this..."

Is Saber really that straightforward? No one says you can only have one Noble Phantasm. If it doesn't help in battle, why would Lancer bring a pistol?

I thought it was a problem with the animation team, but I didn't expect Saber to be fooled this time. Was it really a mistake in the battle?

Then again, there was no sea demon this time, so what would happen to Saber's hand? Bai Ye's mind was full of thoughts.

On the other side, the emperor finally took action, "No, this is not good."

"W-What's wrong?"
