The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

The relationship between the two of them improved a little because of this.

Irisviel really treasured this opportunity to communicate with other people, especially when the other party was polite.

She quickly took the initiative to find a new topic.

"You are really young~"

"I thought it would summon a middle-aged woman."

"Really?" Artoria felt a little embarrassed after being praised like that.

"That may be why I want to be summoned by someone the most at this moment."

"Summoned by someone?"

Irisviel seemed to sense the flavor of the story.

She held Altria's hand and said with a smile:

"You seem to have a lot of stories~"

"Come on, let's go upstairs!"

"You must confess everything to me, the acting Master~"

280. The Love Story of a Girl with Dai Mao/Morgan's Obsession/The Mortal Sword (4k)

The walls of a German castle.

Artoria came here with Irisviel, under her guidance.

The cold wind blew past the two of them, revealing the chill of the north without any concealment.

"Are you cold?" Irisviel turned to look at Altria behind her, "Do you want me to go back and get you some clothes?"

"No." Altria shook her head.

"I don't feel cold, don't worry."

“Is that so~” Irisviel smiled sweetly, “Then I feel relieved.”

"Come on, tell me—who is the person you are expecting?"

"I'm so bored here that I'm going to molder."

"..."

Altria's lips trembled.

It can be seen that Aliceviel's easy-going personality is more to her liking.

but--

Artoria seemed to be thinking about something, so she didn't respond to Irisviel immediately.

Seeing this, the acting Master spoke again.

"what happened?"

"Before you came here, didn't you promise to tell me everything? Why are you silent now?"

"Could it be..."

Irisviel moved forward a little and came in front of Altria.

"You actually hate me as your acting Master... so that's why you're like this?"

"That's not the case."

Altria quickly rejected the possibility raised by Irisviel.

"Since the real Master has appointed you as the deputy, then I will certainly recognize you."

“Then why didn’t you say anything?” Irisviel held her hands on her waist, looking very unhappy. “It’s not easy for me to come across something that interests me!”

"because--"

Altria looked at Irisviel in front of her, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"I'm afraid that after I tell you, you'll be angry."

"Eh?!"

Irisviel exhaled a breath of hot air.

"Why do you think so? Am I an easily angered deputy master in your mind?"

"No, that's not the case." Altria answered calmly, "I just know it's not the right time to speak my mind now."

"..."

Hearing this, Irisviel narrowed her eyes slightly, as if examining Altria in front of her.

Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the Servant in front of her.

"I made a decision!"

"No matter what you say, I won't be angry!"

"Under these conditions, you can always speak out what's on your mind, right?"

"..."

Her acting Master had said so much, and Artoria knew that if she continued to be stubborn, it would be a bit disrespectful to the other party.

She took a deep breath of the northern air, and then gave a formal response to Irisviel's question.

"Ellie."

"I... don't actually want to be summoned by your husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, that's all."

After saying this, Altria secretly observed Irisviel in front of her.

She knew that what she had just said should not have been said.

After all, the Holy Grail War requires close cooperation between Masters and Servants.

This kind of statement is tantamount to expressing one meaning - that is, "I hate the current Master."

In a way, this is actually very disadvantageous behavior.

This is also the reason why Altria feels that she should not confess - although she does not want to be summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu, it does not mean that she will not fulfill her duties.

After all, once the Master and the Servant begin to distrust each other, it will sooner or later escalate into an irreconcilable conflict.

She didn't want things to turn out like this.

But whether Irisviel could accept what he said was an unknown.

However, the result was not as bad as expected.

After hearing what Altria said, Irisviel was not angry, but became a little depressed.

She tilted her head slightly, looking like a scientist who had come across an unsolved mystery.

"You and Kiritsugu really have a tacit understanding in a certain sense."

"One is unwilling to summon the other."

"One is unwilling to be summoned by the other."

"Do you guys... really hate each other that much?"

"Well..." Altria shook her head and forced a bitter smile, "I don't know either."

"But don't worry, Ellie."

"Although I do not like being summoned by him, I will never slack off because of this - I will do my best to give you the chance of victory."

"I know~"

Irisviel responded with a smile.

"After all, Saber, you look like a serious person~"

"But then again—"

Irisviel's eyes fell on the weapon in Altria's hand.

It was a long cross sword that looked quite old.

Its surface was covered with red rust, and it looked as if it could break at any time.

But Altria seemed to treasure it very much and always held it tightly in her hand, not showing any intention of loosening her grip.

"Your weapon... looks like it's about to break down?"

"Eh?"

After hearing what Irisviel said, Altria looked down at the weapon in her hand.

In an instant, the eyes as green as the sea of ​​trees were filled with a bit of affectionate memories of the past.

Irisviel grasped this point keenly.

"Oh... From what you say, this weapon seems to be very important to you?"

Perhaps he felt that there was no need to hide it from Irisviel, or perhaps what she said really hit the nail on the head about how he felt in his heart.

After a moment's hesitation, Altria responded directly to the question.

"Ah."

"This weapon is truly important to me - it is a gift from my favorite person."

"Hey?"

Irisviel's cheeks flushed slightly, and she seemed to be quite interested in this romantic love history.

"Saber, tell me more!"

"Let me learn more about this."

"..."

Faced with the "order" from the acting Master, Altria looked a little embarrassed.

After all, the one who was summoned this time was not the king on the throne, but a girl who still had beautiful fantasies.

In the end, Altria nodded and chose to share her story with Irisviel.

I saw Artoria gently wiping the rather ordinary long sword in her hand, and then she recounted the past in a rather nostalgic tone.

"Ellie, it's like this..."

Ten minutes later.

Irisviel learned from Altria how she and Ian met, and also understood the true origin of the sword.

"God..."

The lady who had lived in the castle for many years covered her mouth, looking very moved.

"Is this actually your love token sword?"

“It’s so romantic~”

"Probably..." Altria's expression seemed a little happy, yet a little shy.

The girl actually really liked others praising herself and Ian in this way, but etiquette told her that it was a little too frivolous.

"Anyway, Ellie, now you can understand what this sword means to me?"

"I understand, I understand~"

Irisviel did not hide her inner thoughts.

"But--"

"If you hold a weapon like this, will it affect your combat effectiveness?"

This is a very reasonable doubt.

After all, that sword doesn't look that reliable.

“Don’t worry.” Artoria responded to Irisviel, “Because of the special nature of this weapon… I will never use it in combat.”
