I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

"We haven't eaten yet."

Kitagawa Kaimu very honestly pointed to her and Mei's empty plates.

"I'm so sorry!"

Saber slammed her hands on the table with a thud, bowed her head deeply, and even her golden ahoge (antenna-like hair sticking up) drooped down. "I misunderstood Master's meaning! Please allow me to prepare a new breakfast for everyone as an apology!"

"no need."

Gu Ye's voice rang out just in time.

He stood up and walked back to the kitchen at a leisurely pace.

Amid Saber's guilt, Haimeng's curiosity, and Mei's inquisitive gaze, he emerged carrying an even larger tray.

On the tray was another breakfast that was exactly the same as the previous one, or even more lavish.

"I guessed it when I saw how fast you ate."

Gu Ye placed the new food items on the table one by one, "So I made an extra portion in advance."

"Master..."

Saber looked up at Gu Ye, her emerald eyes filled with surprise and emotion.

"Eat quickly, or it will get cold."

Gu Ye pushed a meal in front of her.

"Wow! Gu Ye, you're amazing!"

Kitagawa Kaimu immediately cheered, picked up her knife and fork, and exclaimed, "I'm starting!"

"Gu Yejun, your cooking skills are really good."

Mei took a bite of the scrambled eggs and exclaimed sincerely, "The fluffiness and seasoning are just right."

"I learned it from an Italian chef friend."

Gu Ye explained casually.

The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard after breakfast.

The gate of Ryudong Temple, which was uprooted by Archer last night, now stands quietly in a corner of the lawn, adding a touch of strange Zen to this Western-style courtyard.

"Master."

Saber approached Gu Ye, who was taking a walk, and said, "To thank you for your hospitality, and to fulfill my duty as a knight, please allow me to begin instructing you in swordsmanship from today onwards."

"My fighting style does not require the use of a sword."

Gu Ye shook his head, rejecting her suggestion.

He didn't offer any further explanation, but simply stretched out his hand, and a flash of light appeared in his palm, revealing the magnificent scabbard—Avalon—that radiated a golden glow.

"This is back to you."

He handed the scabbard to Saber.

Saber was stunned. She stared at the Noble Phantasm, a symbol of absolute protection that should have been kept by her Master, her face filled with confusion.

"Master, why is this happening?"

She did not reach out to take it. "Avalon is the sheath of the sword of victory, which will prevent the wielder from aging and allow any injury to heal quickly. This Noble Phantasm should be kept by you, as it will ensure your safety on the battlefield."

"I do not need."

Gu Ye's answer was simple and direct. He stepped forward and forcefully placed Avalon into Saber's hand.

"I just don't want my knights to be fighting on the battlefield without even their own scabbards."

His voice was soft, yet it resonated like a thunderclap in Saber's heart.

Saber gripped the warm, smooth scabbard, her fingertips trembling slightly. She looked up, staring blankly at the boy before her.

That usually expressionless face now held an undeniable seriousness.

She suddenly understood.

This is not a Master's command to a Servant, but rather one person's respect and trust for another.

The next second, the Knight King made a decision.

She took a step back, and under Gu Ye's surprised gaze, knelt on one knee, held Avalon across her chest, placed her right hand on her heart, and solemnly lowered her head.

“Saber, Artoria Pendragon, hereby reaffirms my oath.”

Her voice was clear and firm, echoing in the tranquil courtyard: "My sword will be with you, and your fate will be intertwined with mine—therefore, the contract is complete."

From the window of the workshop in the distance, Medea took in all of this, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

Meanwhile, Kitagawa Kaimu and Raiden Mei, who had just stepped out of the gate, also witnessed this scene.

……

As night deepened, the lights of Fuyuki City wove a hazy sea of ​​light in the distance.

Above the Tohsaka Mansion, the air twisted without warning, and a magnificent flying ship made of gold and emeralds tore through the night and slowly descended.

The flying artifact named "Vimana" hovered in mid-air, resembling a floating palace.

A man clad in golden armor, with dazzling blond hair and blood-red eyes, stood at the bow of the ship, arms crossed, looking down upon ants.

He didn't even speak, but a cruel yet pleased smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, golden ripples spread through the space behind him, and the hilts of countless knives, spears, swords, and halberds emerged from them, gleaming with a chilling light.

"coming!"

Rin Tohsaka gave a low shout in the living room, her expression more serious than ever before.

"What an impatient king!"

Archer stood by the window, arms crossed, his tone as sarcastic as ever, "Can't even be bothered with an opening remark before starting to demolish the house?"

"Everyone, prepare to engage!"

Medea's voice came from the courtyard, and she had already appeared there, her long, indigo-purple hair fluttering in the magical breeze.

Chapter 48 W is holding back a big one!

Before the words were even finished, the golden ripples in the sky suddenly expanded, and hundreds of Noble Phantasm prototypes broke free from their restraints, trailing long golden tails, like a meteor shower of apocalypse, whistling as they crashed into the invisible barrier enveloping the Tohsaka Mansion.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The continuous explosions were deafening.

Each Noble Phantasm that struck the barrier would explode into a blinding white light, the powerful impact causing the entire space to tremble violently.

Medea's temple barrier, shimmering with dense runes, resembled an inverted glass bowl, stubbornly resisting the onslaught of storms.

"No! He's projecting too many Noble Phantasms!"

Medea's voice echoed in everyone's minds, tinged with urgency, "This barrier can only hold for another ten seconds at most!"

"Ten seconds?"

Kitagawa Kaimu nervously grabbed Raiden Mei's arm beside her, "What do we do?"

"enough."

Gu Ye's voice was unusually calm. He looked up at the night sky illuminated by golden light, his dark pupils reflecting the scene of destruction.

"Mei Yi, are you ready?"

"anytime."

Raiden Mei nodded, a flash of electricity disappearing from her purple eyes.

"Weather forecast!"

Gu Ye gave a low shout.

The air around him instantly became viscous, and a huge, illusory clone appeared, its arms suddenly swinging upwards.

①○一２２⑧３０９８

An invisible gust of air shot into the sky, forming a violently rotating upward wall of wind above the Tohsaka Mansion.

At the same time, Raiden Mei's eyes turned completely golden, her long purple hair moved without wind, and countless tiny blue arcs of electricity jumped around her, making a "crackling" sound.

She stretched out her right hand, pointing it towards the sky.

"Lightning strike!"

A thick bolt of purple lightning, as powerful as divine punishment, descended from the sky and struck precisely into the metallic storm composed of magical artifacts.

The lightning and the wind wall converged, instantly detonating the immense magical power contained within dozens of Noble Phantasms.

The chain explosions created a massive fireball in the air, and the violent energy shockwaves completely disrupted the trajectories of the subsequent Noble Phantasms, which were deflected elsewhere by the wind walls with a clanging sound.

The Tohsaka residence is safe for now.

"It's now!"

Gu Ye's voice rang out again, "Archer, Saber, Mei, W, come with me!"

Before he finished speaking, the weather forecast had already manipulated the airflow again, creating a strong, spiraling upward channel of wind between the ground and Vimana.

Without the slightest hesitation, Archer leaped into the wind tunnel in a flash.

Saber followed closely behind, now dressed in a silver and blue knight's skirt armor, her petite frame concealing astonishing explosive power.

Raiden Mei, surrounded by electric sparks, also leaped in lightly.

Gu Ye was the last to step into the wind. The four figures were lifted by the gale, like a sharp arrow shot from a bow, against the night sky, straight towards the magnificent royal ship.

"Hey! You guys are really going too far!"

Rin Tohsaka rushed to the door and shouted at the sky, her face full of anxiety and worry.

"So, so handsome!"

Kitagawa Kaimu, on the other hand, looked on with excitement, her eyes shining as she watched the trajectory soaring into the sky.

On Vimana's wide deck, the four landed steadily.

The ground, paved with gold and jewels, reflected the cool moonlight, its extravagance astounding.

Gilgamesh slowly turned around. He seemed completely unsurprised by the arrival of the four. His blood-red eyes swept over Archer, then over Mei, and finally landed on Saber.

He completely ignored Gu Ye's existence.

"Hmph, there are quite a few bastards."

He spoke dismissively, his voice carrying an arrogant condescension, "However, there's actually one that's presentable."

His gaze lingered on Saber's exquisitely sculpted armor, his eyes revealing an undisguised and blatant expression.

“Truly a rare treasure. King Knight, I have changed my mind.”

Gilgamesh raised his chin and said in a condescending tone, "Be my wife. I will allow you to serve me."

"What did you say?"

Saber's body tensed instantly, and a cold rage ignited in her emerald green eyes.

"Can't you understand human language? You bastard."

Gilgamesh seemed to enjoy her angry expression. "I said that you shall be my possession. You should be honored for this; it is the highest honor of your life."

"You guy..."

Archer's lips curled into a dangerous smile. "Still as annoying as ever, King of Heroes."

"Shut up, you fake author. You have no right to speak here."

Gilgamesh didn't even glance at him.

"Are you trying to provoke my Master?"

Raiden Mei stepped forward, blocking Gu Ye's path. The electric arcs around her became denser again, emitting a threatening "sizzling" sound.

However, Gilgamesh was answered with a clear, resonant sword cry.

Saber took a step forward, her right hand gripping the invisible hilt of her sword.
