"This is troublesome..."

Chapter 102 Alvin: Mom! (5.5K)

With the arrival of winter, the night sky becomes even darker, and heavy snow mixed with cold wind ravages the glass windows.

This was the first snow of the year in Fuyuki. Not long after, the snow had covered the woods outside the Einzbern Castle, the roads, the entire castle, and even the entire city with a thin layer of silver.

Emiya Kiritsugu was standing by the window, staring into the deep darkness outside.

Known as the "Magician Killer" in the outside world, his unique skills have also attracted the attention of the Einzbern family, who hired him as a Master to participate in this Holy Grail War.

buzzing...

The cell phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. Emiya Kiritsugu picked up the phone very familiarly and answered the call.

A woman's cold and calm reporting voice came from the phone.

"We just discovered traces of suspected Master and Servant activity in a shopping mall on the south side of Fuyuki."

Emiya Kiritsugu's expression remained indifferent, his emotionless eyes staring silently into the deep darkness outside the window: "Do you know the other party's identity?"

"It's not clear yet. The servant was wearing a black robe and a mask to hide his appearance... As for his master, she's a little girl who looks only fourteen or fifteen years old."

"I felt something was very wrong, so I didn't dare get too close."

Emiya Kiritsugu remained silent.

Very strange.

It should be said that it is very strange.

In theory, a servant can follow the master in the form of a 'spiritual body'. The advantage of doing so is that the enemy dare not act rashly, because no one knows whether the servant is nearby.

But this servant actually appeared openly and stayed by his master's side... What exactly is the other party's plan?

"Do you know what they are doing?" Emiya Kiritsugu asked.

"From what we've observed so far, they're simply shopping in the mall... or, more like, a date between a man and a woman."

This answer finally added a touch of weirdness to Emiya Kiritsugu's calm expression.

The Fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki is a 'game' in which seven Masters fight each other by summoning Servants, and the winner will receive a wish for the Holy Grail.

Today is the eve of the Holy Grail War. Although according to the rules, Masters can only summon Heroic Spirits on the day the Holy Grail War begins... almost every Master has secretly cheated and summoned their servants in advance.

Under normal circumstances, once the master dies, the servants summoned by the master will also disappear due to the loss of magic power supply.

The night before should be the time when all parties are most cautious, because they are still unsure what kind of servants the other party has summoned, and they are also unclear about the other party's identity and trump cards.

What does this mean for the master and the slave...?

Was he deliberately using himself as bait to lure others in? Or was he simply too careless?

"Keep a close eye on the movements over there...but don't act rashly for now."

Emiya Kiritsugu said in a low voice, "It's time for me to prepare for the Heroic Spirit Summoning Ceremony."

……

Alvin obviously didn't realize that when the two of them went out to relax, eyes from all sides were secretly watching them.

To be precise, he had already noticed the eyes that were secretly following him when he went out with Sajo Aika, but he was just too lazy to pay attention.

"Saber, what's wrong? You've been distracted since a while ago."

At this moment, a girl's clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from the side, and she looked at the boy with some questions in her eyes.

Alvin shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing. I just sensed some interesting auras a while ago, so I couldn't help but stay for a while."

Interesting scent?

Shatiao Aige tilted her head slightly, then quickly realized the meaning behind Alvin's words. She smiled and said, "Are you talking about those mice hiding in the dark?"

"Okay, forget about them. Let's go buy some ingredients first. I've looked at some recipes over the past couple of days, so I can try some new dishes for you tomorrow."

After saying this, she naturally took Alvin's arm and walked towards the mall.

Faintly, one seems to be able to smell the delicate body fragrance emanating from the girl, like a clingy kitten.

If only Ti Ma were here… Alvin suddenly thought to himself.

Although she is called the Mother Goddess of Creation, she seems to be quite interested in human cuisine... maybe she will be a perfect match for Ai Ge.

In fact, Aika Sajo doesn't really like cooking.

The girl named Sajo Aika just wanted to make delicious food for the person she loved. Just seeing him eating the food she made would fill her heart with a joy called "happiness".

Because she was once too lonely, and because no matter what she did, the future would be spoiled in advance by the "omniscient and omnipotent", so when she was in Britain, when she saw the young man whose future could not be spoiled, she cared so much about him.

Most girls of this age are obsessed with looks, and their values ​​are determined by their facial features. Alvin's appearance fits Aika Sajo's fantasy of a "lover".

Britain's night watchman, King Arthur's husband...a love story that spans history, just thinking about it can satisfy a girl's pink fantasy of love.

Because it was winter and snowing heavily, the ground outside was covered with a layer of snow that was not up to the knees, and there were few people in the mall.

Alvin followed Aika Sajo, thinking about how to find Kenneth and persuade his teacher to give up the Holy Grail War and go back.

I don't know which servant my teacher summoned...

Will it be like in the original game's fourth war, summoning a Lucky E Lancer, or... will it be another servant?

While thinking about all these messy things, the two of them had unknowingly bought a whole bag of things.

Before leaving, the teller gave Alvin a puzzled look.

Someone who wraps themselves up tightly in a shopping mall, even wearing a 'white mask', looks suspicious no matter how you look at it...

Alvin took the heavy shopping bag from the singer Shajo Ai, held an umbrella and walked silently beside the girl.

Before they knew it, they had passed through the bustling city center and were walking along the quiet streets towards the building where they lived.

Sajo Aige couldn't help but look at the boy twice more, and then quickly said: "Saber, when you are with me from now on, please take off your mask?"

“Wearing a mask always makes me feel a little distant.”

Alvin said helplessly: "I mainly don't want to be recognized by acquaintances."

If I meet Kenneth, I wonder how he would react when he sees that I appear in Fuyuki as a servant.

Moreover, in the original work, the servant summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu was King Arthur.

If possible, Alvin doesn't want to return to the world with great difficulty only to encounter a large-scale Shura scene.

But then again, since the world line has changed, maybe the servant summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu will be someone else?

Sajo Aika thought for a moment and said, "Okay... I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to do."

"But if possible, at least don't wear a mask when you're at home from now on, is that okay?"

In fact, if Aika Sajo wanted to, she could use the "Command Seal" to order Alvin to do things, but the girl didn't like to use commands to express her love.

"If it's just at home, it wouldn't matter..."

Seeing Alvin nod slightly, Sajo Aika was satisfied and took Alvin's hand: "Then let's go back."

Her smile was pure and charming, exceptionally bright, and her eyes held the joy of a girl in love.

The instantaneous beauty made Alvin reach out and gently touch the girl's fair and delicate face.

Aika Sajo lowered her head shyly.

However, just as Alvin was about to leave holding Aika Sajo's hand, the lights on the street suddenly flickered.

Snowflakes slowly fell from the inky sky, and the surroundings were so quiet that there was not a sound.

However, at a certain moment, a golden light quietly lit up in the darkness.

Aika Satiao still looked shy, with her eyes slightly lowered, but a hint of coldness appeared in the depths of her deep blue pupils.

Fuyuki's servant... really doesn't know how to read the mood at all.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a weapon wrapped in golden light was fired, breaking the silent atmosphere.

The golden blade cut through the air and headed straight towards Shajo Aika.

Alvin suddenly moved, picked up Shatiao Aige horizontally, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

boom!

Accompanied by a startling explosion, the golden blade pierced through the floor, and there seemed to be an astonishing magical power spreading faintly.

"You reacted quite quickly. It seems you have already sensed my presence just now?"

After the explosion, a high-pitched and arrogant voice echoed in the street.

Alvin held Shatiao Aige and moved away from where he was just now, then looked up at the sound.

A pair of scarlet eyes were looking down at them from above the streetlight.

He was wearing golden armor and was quite tall. He had his arms folded across his chest and never lowered his proud head. He just looked down at Alvin and Aika Shajo on the ground... as if he was looking at two bugs.

Behind this servant, several golden halos quietly lit up, and indistinctly, one could seem to see weapons coated in a layer of dazzling golden light.

The weapon that just attacked Alvin also came out from this circle of light.

The King's Treasure is a special treasure that belongs only to the Hero King Gilgamesh. The spaces in the treasury are connected, so he can freely take out the items in it.

The King's Treasury contains the prototypes of all Noble Phantasms, or in other words, the prototypes of human inventions and treasures or treasures from ancient times to the present.

Sajo Aige stared at the Golden King standing on the streetlight, and then quickly whispered, "Caster...? No, are you Archer?"

It was clearly an Archer, but the Noble Phantasm used by the opponent was more like a Caster... This Holy Grail War seemed to be more interesting than she had imagined.

Alvin looked up and stared for a moment before muttering to himself, "King of Heroes, Gilgamesh? I didn't expect him to come to me so soon."

Although he already knew that there would be such a servant in the Fourth World War...but when he actually saw him in person, Alvin couldn't help but be a little surprised.

No wonder Gilgamesh was called an 'exceptional' servant. The magic power he displayed at this moment alone far exceeded that of an ordinary servant.

Gilgamesh's tone was filled with interest. "Oh? You actually know my identity?"

After putting Sajo Aika down, Alvin smiled and said, "You have collected the prototypes of all the Noble Phantasms in the world. You are the only one in the world who can open the King's Treasure."
