"Aren't you worried that after I become your Master, I might use the Command Seals to force you to do something?"
You know, including the Command Seals that were previously plundered from Irisviel, Aika Sajo currently has a total of five Command Seals on hand.
If she had used the Command Seals directly after Alvin became her Servant... with the blessing of the five Command Seals, even if the White Dragon had the strongest anti-magic power, it would have been impossible to withstand it.
Hasn't he thought about this problem?
"If I were worried, I wouldn't have come to you so openly in the first place."
Alvin looked up at the girl and smiled, "And didn't you choose to believe me?"
"Because I don't think you'd lie to me."
Sajo Aika's tone was as matter of course, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
Alvin looked at her figure and her bright smile, and he suddenly became a little curious about how Aika Sajo had survived in her own era.
She was initially interested in Alvin because Alvin was not within the perception range of "Omniscience and Omnipotence", and it was very likely that there was no other person in the world who could block Omniscience and Omnipotence.
Alvin suddenly asked, "Do you have any other friends to play with? If you really stay in the Clock Tower in the future, won't you feel lonely?"
"friend?"
Sajo Aika thought for a moment and said, "If I must say there is one, but that's my sister."
"Most of the time I perform by myself. When I was little, I loved studying all kinds of magic. Many elders praised my talent, but everyone in my family said I was too withdrawn because sometimes after I invented a new trick, I would laugh to myself in the corner."
Sajo Aika recalled her experience at the Sajo family, "But my parents are quite confident in me. They both think I will be an excellent magician in the future."
Perhaps it was because of the busyness of the past few days, or perhaps it was simply because of Alvin's presence, her body was extremely relaxed, she rested her face on his legs and closed her eyes lightly.
Alvin looked at her soft, light golden hair in the dim light. A candle was lit on the terrace in the wind and snow, and he could faintly smell the coolness in the air.
He moved his fingers slightly, and suddenly had the urge to reach out and touch her face and rub her head.
Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have never asked about Aika Sajo's family affairs. Being omniscient and omnipotent does not mean having a happy life. On the contrary, because of the overly dazzling talents, it is easier to feel lonely.
Because there is no one who can resonate with her.
When he first arrived at the Clock Tower, Alvin was also a loner, often playing games in his room. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would look out the window at the night sky and suddenly feel inexplicably empty inside.
If he hadn't met Kenneth and his sister, he might still be an ordinary student in the Clock Tower and wouldn't have had so many magical experiences later.
Even though his teacher was a little harsh towards other students... at least he was quite caring towards him.
Because of this, he had deliberately manifested in the form of a Servant this time, hoping to at least get Kayneth back to the Clock Tower safely.
"You are already a very good magician."
Alvin suddenly said.
Sajo Aika opened her eyes and said seriously, "But whether or not I can become a good magician is not important to me."
“I don’t need other people’s approval.”
Those who need recognition from others are usually those who did not receive much attention when they were young, or those who have little confidence in themselves... But Aika Sajo has been the most dazzling person in the family since she was a child, and a highly anticipated genius.
The approval and praise from those around her, the envy from her peers, and even the longing from her own sister... She has experienced so much similar feedback that she has become numb to it.
But there's only one thing Sajo Aika truly wants.
And there is only one person who can make this wish come true.
"Saber, before the real battle begins, I have one more question."
Shajo Aige stared into Alvin's eyes and said, "You said you would wait for me in the Clock Tower..."
"So, you're not a true Servant, right?"
Alvin nodded.
Sajo Aika looked up into the boy's eyes and whispered, "...Even after the Holy Grail War ends in the future, will you always be with me?"
When she asked this question, she stared at Alvin. Even if he hesitated a little bit, it might make her heart waver.
But Alvin had already thought about it on the way here, so he nodded immediately.
"……certainly."
When she heard the boy's answer without hesitation, Sajo Aika seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, she suddenly had an incredible feeling.
When she asked that question just now, she actually felt an inexplicable "tension" for the first time in her life.
Although she is omniscient, she cannot guess what Alvin is thinking. She also doesn't know how Alvin would react if he suddenly changed his mind or rejected her.
Lost? Sad?
Or...will life, which is already boring, become completely boring?
Of course, there's no point in thinking about this now...
After hearing Alvin's words, a sweet smile quickly bloomed on the girl's beautiful and pure face.
She knelt down beside the young man, placed one hand gently on his thigh, and whispered, "Then let's re-sign the contract, Saber~"
……
In the Tosaka family's mansion.
An elegantly dressed man was sitting quietly in the secret room, with a retro telephone on the table.
"How's the situation at Yuanzang Mountain?"
Soon, Tōsaka Tokiomi asked in a low voice.
"Assassin has been sent over to investigate. Not long ago, a great battle took place on the mountaintop. The fighters involved Emiya Kiritsugu, the magus assassin previously employed by Einzbern Castle, and Saber's former Master."
Kotomine Kirei's deep voice rang out through the microphone: "But at this point, we still don't know the origins of that girl, nor do we know what her purpose is."
Upon hearing this, Tōsaka Tokiomi could not help but silently close his eyes and pinched his eyebrows as if he had a headache.
The magus who was connected to the root, although she was now suspected of having parted ways with Saber, but even without a Servant, that girl alone was already troublesome enough.
Moreover, the other party actually found the core of the Holy Grail and even summoned it out in advance...
If we don't rush to Yuanzang Mountain as soon as possible, there is a possibility that other Masters will get there first.
Even though the Masters knew there might be traps there, they would still set out for the Greater Holy Grail.
This is an overt strategy, but it is indeed effective.
The Servants who can be summoned all have their own pride and dignity. The moment they accept the summons, they are ready to fight for their Master or their ideals.
The awakening of the Great Holy Grail deep in Mount Enzo by Aika Sajo is itself a clear invitation to all parties.
How many Servants must be defeated before the Holy Grail truly descends?
Even Tōsaka Tokiomi, one of Fuyuki's 'Three Great Families', didn't know.
But if he does not go to Yuanzang Mountain this time, he will most likely spend the long years to come in endless regret.
But if he went to Mt. Enzo so openly, all the plans he had worked so hard on for the Holy Grail War would be completely ruined.
Besides, it was quite foolish to expose the Master to the field of vision...Tōsaka Tokiomi had always believed so.
Kotomine Kirei whispered, "Teacher, why don't you let Archer go to Mount Enzo to find out the situation himself... If there really is a problem, then use the Command Seal to recall him..."
Tōsaka Tokiomi frowned and said nothing.
If Gilgamesh could listen to others, he would not be Gilgamesh.
Although the combat power of the King of Heroes has been basically confirmed...it is still unclear what Saber's original Master intends to do, and whether he has set a trap in advance on Mount Enzo.
If anything happened to Archer, this Holy Grail War would have nothing to do with him.
"Archer won't listen to me. Maybe he's already preparing to leave."
Tōsaka Tokiomi quickly said in a low voice: "And if nothing unexpected happens, Rider is probably already prepared."
Rider…?
Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously asked: "How do you know about what's going on with Rider...?"
"Because the King of Conquerors is in my yard right now."
There was something strange in Tōsaka Tokiomi's tone when he said the last part.
In the serious context of the Holy Grail War, the Servants of all parties should be rivals, but as a result, the King of Conquerors actually appeared in his backyard tonight.
He's even chatting with the King of Heroes right now... Even Tōsaka Tokiomi couldn't hold back when he thought about this.
"Are you planning to stay in the mansion for now?"
Kotomine Kirei asked.
Tōsaka Tokiomi was silent for a moment, then said, "For the sake of the Holy Grail War, the Master should not be exposed to the enemy's sight. We should proceed cautiously..."
"I understand. I'll have Assassin observe secretly. If I have any intelligence, I'll contact you at any time."
Kotomine Kirei said.
Tōsaka Tokiomi said "hmm" and hung up the phone.
He was alone and silent in the secret room. His face struggled for a moment, then he quickly opened the door and headed towards the backyard.
……
backyard.
It's snowing heavily.
When the two kings had finished their cups, the King of Conquerors exclaimed in delight.
"I've had a very interesting time tonight. I now completely understand your thoughts as a king, Hero King."
It was obvious that the two kings had just had a conversation in the backyard about their understanding of being a "king", and both sides could understand each other's unique insights into the way of being a king.
"It's a pity Saber isn't here... My Master told me that guy is called 'The Humble King'. Perhaps I can hear his opinion on the king from him."
Soon, the King of Conquerors spoke with a hint of regret.
Gilgamesh snorted coldly: "If he truly had the qualities to be king, he wouldn't be willing to assist others."
At the end of his speech, his scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, and he said quietly, "Without the Master, I'm afraid he won't be able to satisfy me."
Ever since their last fight, Gilgamesh has been wanting to truly defeat Alvin head-on, but too many things have happened in the past few days, and Alvin seems to have lost his Master.
