A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Seeing Weber's anxious look, the blonde girl cast a questioning glance at him.

"what?"

"Um... my sacred relic was stolen by someone..."

Weber said with a dejected look.

What goes around comes around; he's finally met his end.

Unexpectedly, less than a week later, Weber would have to return here in disgrace, bowing down to this devilish girl.

"As expected of you, you always manage to run into such bad luck at a time like this."

Reines raised her hand to cover her lips, letting out a silvery laugh.

Weber blushed instantly, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"The relic is in the storeroom on the second floor."

After speaking, Reines smiled and added a reminder.

"By the way, did you know that the current head of the Bartholomew family also obtained a Command Seal?"

"That Barthelo Loreleia, who has the nickname 'Queen'?"

Weber looked somewhat surprised.

Inside the clock tower lives a young queen, the current head of the prestigious Barthezmello family.

Although she has not yet reached the realm of magic, she is praised for her talent, which is equivalent to a magical miracle—her magic circuits—far surpassing those of her predecessors.

"That's right. It seems that as the pinnacle of magicians, she will be your biggest rival."

"Renes said with great interest."

"Ha ha……"

Weber simply chuckled.

"The Holy Grail War, even for magicians..."

Even if it's strong, it's meaningless..."

Just as he was about to blurt it out unconsciously, Waver's mind flashed back to the red-haired boy he had seen before, and the power he displayed in that "Army of Kings" made Waver pause involuntarily.

"Although there are exceptions..."

Waver uttered those words under Reines's somewhat puzzled gaze.

Shaking his head, Waver temporarily put those matters out of his mind and decided to focus all his attention on the upcoming summoning ritual.

He went to the storage room on the second floor and began drawing a magic circle in the slightly dusty room.

After taking one last look at the twilight sky outside the window, Weber withdrew his gaze and raised his right hand, fully focused, toward the magic circle on the ground.

"—Respond to me!"

"I hereby swear that I will commit all evil deeds in the world, and I will eradicate all evil deeds in the world!"

Having gone through the life-or-death ordeal of ten years ago, Weber is now undoubtedly more calm and wise.

Even so, his heart still held the passion of his youth.

"My king... even if I cannot fight alongside you, I will bring the Holy Grail to prove my worth as your subject. When I hold the Holy Grail, let us share the joy of conquering the world together!"

Amidst the dazzling light that initiated the summoning ritual, Waver proclaimed loudly.

……

Meanwhile, in one of the Barthelo family mansions, the same summoning ritual was being performed simultaneously.

The woman with chestnut-haired hair in a single ponytail carefully drew the magic circle and then stood on the outer edge.

Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and her noble temperament made her shine like a star. Her status destined her to be the center of attention wherever she went.

A noble among nobles, the youngest magic marshal in the Clock Tower, and the pinnacle of modern magicians.

Barthelo Loreleia.

“It’s ridiculous that I’m going to follow the same path as that Archibald.” Loreleia chuckled self-deprecatingly, then raised her right arm.

"Declare——"

Despite having the same goal, the girl did not believe she would end up like Kenneth.

This Holy Grail War will only be another chapter in Bartholomew Loreleia's illustrious resume.

The girl firmly believed this.

"Your body is beneath me, my destiny rests on your sword. If you follow the destiny of the Holy Grail, and obey this will and this principle, then respond to me!"

The chanted incantation has reached its final section.

"I swear here that I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world, and I am the one who conveys all evil in the world. Come forth from the wheel of suppression, bound by the three great incantations of you for seven days!"

Under the girl's clear and determined gaze, the magic circle shone brightly.

boom----!

……

After having a meal that could hardly be called dinner, Shirou planned to go back to his room, and Saber followed him, believing that Servants should stay by their Master's side for protection.

But Shirou naturally couldn't let her sleep on the floor, so he pulled the girl onto his bed.

Even Saber blushed a little when she saw a man sleeping next to her after climbing into bed.

"Shirou...is this...not a good thing for us to do..."

"How could that be? We just slept together, we didn't do anything else!"

Shirou explained it to Saber earnestly.

Nothing happened between us. We are completely innocent and have a clear conscience.

Saber, upon hearing this, didn't think there was anything wrong with it and nodded, her ahoge (cowlick) swaying slightly.

"Yes, we have a completely innocent relationship and a clear conscience!"

Then, the two of them quietly lay down. Saber seemed a little cautious in the warm bed, and would pull her hand back as if she had been electrocuted if she touched it even slightly.

About ten minutes later, Shirou stared blankly at the gray ceiling, and suddenly wanted to see if Saber was asleep, so he turned his head to the side.

As a result, their eyes met.

"Why aren't you asleep yet, Saber?"

"I...I can't sleep..."

Saber curled up in bed, her long, loose blonde hair draped over the pillow.

The girl was so beautiful that Shirou's breath hitched for a moment.

"Shirou, your eyes look strange," the girl suddenly said.

"Really? Maybe it's too hot." Even though it's winter, Shirou felt a bit hot under the covers.

Shirou stopped thinking about it and closed his eyes, forcing himself to fall asleep.

After watching the boy in front of her fall asleep, Sabe

Finally, she felt sleepy and slowly closed her eyes.

……

Dreamland.

The clear, azure sky, as if washed clean, illuminated the castle floating in the air.

Shirou stood outside the gates of this magnificent white castle, with no one around and only the rustling sound of the wind.

Stepping inside, the throne stands before you.

But the place was empty, as if it were waiting for someone to arrive.

"here it is……?"

Shirou looked around the empty, pure white castle with a hint of doubt.

He walked around the castle, observing everything.

This is a dream.

Shirou realized this almost the instant he entered the dream.

Whenever he is in the world of Type-Moon, he always has some strange dreams.

Unlike Saber's past as I had dreamt of before, there was no one else here except for this castle.

If that's the case, it means that this place is most likely not a dream-like memory.

After exploring the entire castle, Shirou still couldn't figure out where he was.

I have no recollection of ever seeing this place before, so I have no way of guessing.

As Shirou deduced where he was, he walked to the edge of the castle.

Looking down, all you see is an endless desert.

The endless yellow sand and dust storms made it difficult to see the desolate land hidden beneath the cover.

Just as Shirou was about to jump down to take a look, the dream shattered in his eyes like a bubble.

……

In the early morning, when Shirou opened his eyes, he saw a pretty face right in front of him.

Her blonde hair was scattered on the clean white sheets. As if sensing something, the girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

At first, Saber was a little confused about the situation, but after realizing the face so close to hers, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Then, she trembled like a startled kitten and quickly sat up.

"Um... it's definitely better to sleep on the floor!"
