The blonde woman shielded the white-haired woman behind her and slowly walked forward.

The rather handsome man in front of her smiled slightly upon seeing this: "I've been swaggering around this city all day, but not a single person has been willing to show their face. You are the only hero who has accepted my challenge to battle."

"This clear fighting spirit... it seems you are Saber, isn't it?"

The girl called Saber did not respond, and her expression became much more serious.

Magic power surged, air currents churned, and white light flashed.

A blonde woman underwent a transformation, displaying an aura akin to a magical girl's metamorphosis. Her clothing changed into a blue and white dress-like armor.

In her right hand, she held an invisible blade; however... for some unknown reason, no one could see what kind of weapon it was...

Bathed in moonlight, her beautiful face resembled that of a living Valkyrie.

"As a knight, how can I remain indifferent after being provoked?"

Saber responded in a deep voice.

Lancer smiled upon hearing this, brandishing his twin pistols, the gun barrels clanging in the air with considerable force: "Then, let's begin, Saber."

The two sides are locked in a stalemate, and a major battle is imminent.

......

"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused. Isn't this about Alicia? Who are these people?"

The transition of the light screen left everyone somewhat bewildered.

Especially for humans in the ordinary world, if we say that Alicia's jump towards Fuyuki City was something a normal person could do.

Saber's transformation was beyond what a simple human could achieve; they had never seen anything like it before. Saber's transformation was unforgettable for all the characters in the slice-of-life anime.

The blonde female knight is much cooler than any American blockbuster, and the comments section instantly became lively.

Aki Tomoya: "So, there are female knights like this in the real world."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Supernatural power? Did that girl named Alicia really travel to such a dangerous world?"

L: "Supernatural power... If such power exists in our world, then... perhaps we can use this to explain Kira's methods of killing."

Conan: "Are you kidding me? Even Kaito Kid couldn't make a skirt appear out of thin air. This is completely illogical."

Ai Haibara: "You don't actually think this light screen and that Alicia who travels through worlds are scientific, do you?"

The sudden appearance of the light screen was enough to raise most people's guard, but... what was even more shocking than the light screen itself was the task it issued.

"Saber and Lancer? Is a mere clash between mongrels really that captivating?"

Sitting on the sofa, the Hero King had to admit that none of the treasures in his treasury could penetrate even the slightest bit of the light screen before him.

His ministers, however, seemed quite puzzled: "Saber, Lancer, I didn't expect it to be them, but... when did they start fighting?"

Tokitomi Tohsaka was somewhat confused. The entire Fuyuki City should be under Kirei's surveillance, so why was something happening that he didn't know about?

The King of Heroes raised his wine cup and took a small sip: "Truly utterly useless. Shichen, watch closely, this is what the Thousand-Mile Eyes see."

Although the minister before him was always thinking things he shouldn't be thinking, the Hero King still chose to answer his questions in the face of a minister who was still extremely respectful to him.

Shi Chen was flattered; the unpredictable king had actually chosen to answer his question, something that would have been impossible before.

But... is the clairvoyant eye capable of seeing the future? In other words, is what this light screen is showing the future of their world?

No wonder Alicia wasn't found in Fuyuki City.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was not surprised that Gilgamesh possessed the ability of clairvoyance; it was not unusual for this mythical king to have such abilities.

However...surprisingly, the King of Heroes, who had always looked down on the Holy Grail War, actually used his clairvoyance to observe the Holy Grail War...

No... judging from the King of Heroes' previous attitude, he didn't care to observe the process and outcome of the Holy Grail War at all. What was truly worth the King of Heroes using his clairvoyance to observe...

Is it this light screen...?

Shi Chen thought to himself silently.

Chapter 3: When Kiritsugu Emiya Sees the Fairy Girl

The light screen continues.

The battle between Saber and Lancer has begun.

In the blink of an eye, the two men's spears flashed and swords clashed, followed by a metallic explosion.

The two launched an incredibly fierce attack from the most cunning angles, igniting a battle between heroes.

The ground beneath their feet either shattered or was split open, turning the once smooth cement floor into a pitted mess.

Even the air itself was overwhelmed, emitting a mournful cry of compression and detonation.

Waves of air rolled and surged, ravaging the earth beyond recognition, accompanied by thunderous roars and howling winds.

It took less than five seconds, and everyone was stunned.

Because it was impossible to see clearly, in just a few flashes, the two had changed their movements dozens of times. Only at the moment of impact could their bodies pause briefly due to the collision, causing shockwaves to surge and making it difficult to follow.

At this moment, countless mouths were agape. The speed and the sheer force of the impact—the constant spray of metal sparks and the flashes of light from the clashing weapons—were like light pollution assaulting the eyes of the world.

The battle was so intense that it left the viewers on the screen, especially ordinary people who had never encountered supernatural powers, quite shocked.

At that moment, they seemed to have forgotten who the protagonist in the video was.

Just as Saber and Lancer were locked in a fierce battle, the image on the screen suddenly changed once again.

This inevitably disappointed everyone. Although the fairy named Alicia was indeed very beautiful, they were more concerned about the outcome of the battle between Saber and Lancer.

However, to their surprise, the image on the light screen appeared in the shadows on the other side of the harbor.

The person sitting here is not the protagonist, Alicia, but a man wearing a black trench coat. In his hand is something that even characters in slice-of-life anime would be very familiar with—a sniper rifle.

Instantly, this style of work, so out of place with the Holy Grail War and the extraordinary battle between Saber and Lancer, stunned everyone.

Hachiman Hikigaya: "Hey, hey, hey, are you sure you're not mistaken? That guy is holding... a sniper rifle. Is he planning to use that to kill those two superhumans?"

L: "Judging from the battle just now, it's almost impossible to kill them with ordinary firearms."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "That's not necessarily true. Haven't you heard the saying 'high attack, low defense'? My lady, times have changed."

Kenneth: "Hmph, to use modern firearms in a magician's ritual, Kiritsugu Emiya... People like that only slander magic."

With the appearance of Kiritsugu Emiya, the comments section became lively again. After all, someone who lurks in the shadows like an assassin doesn't seem like an ordinary person no matter how you look at it.

Perhaps he really could kill those two people with a sniper rifle.

[From the shadows, Kiritsugu Emiya glanced at the battle between the two Servants and then said to Maiya Hisau on the other end of the communicator: "It's started. It looks like it won't be a clear winner for a while. Maiya, find a good vantage point to snipe from, find that Lancer's Master, and then find an opportunity to kill him."]

Kiritsugu Emiya was never a fair and square person; he preferred to win in this way rather than in a battle between Saber and the Lancer knights.

After instructing Maiya, Kiritsugu Emiya found a sniping angle and tried to locate Lancer's Master. However, just as his camera panned to his wife, Irisviel, behind him...

But then she suddenly noticed an unknown figure hiding behind Irisviel, her gaze fixed on the battlefield.

A sense of unease arose in Kiritsugu Emiya's heart as he wondered who could possibly appear at this hour, so late at night.

Upon seeing her figure, Kiritsugu Emiya immediately ruled out the possibility that she was a participating Master. Before the battle, he had collected information on many participating Masters, but this person was not among them. Could she be a civilian who was accidentally caught up in the chaos, or... a Servant?

Kiritsugu Emiya thought to himself, but... just then, the girl in the camera suddenly turned her head, faced him who was holding a sniper rifle, and gave him a kind smile.

not good!

He'd been discovered; the girl in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.

Irisviel is in danger; almost instantly, Kiritsugu Emiya realized the danger posed by the strange girl before him.

He got up as quickly as possible and immediately moved away from the battlefield. As for firing his gun, given that someone could spot him instantly and confidently make eye contact with him, firing would be the worst possible choice.

Moreover, Lancer's Master is lurking somewhere, watching this place. If they open fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Bishop of Schicksal: "A wise choice is to kill the Master rather than slay a Servant with unpredictable abilities."

The cutest in the world: "Grandpa? What are you talking about? What do you mean by killing a Master? What do you mean by Servant? Could it be that you understand what this light screen is saying? Two people are fighting and suddenly an assassin appears. Don't you find that strange?"

Bishop of Destiny: "My dear granddaughter, haven't you noticed that some of these spectators are from that world? If you don't know, you can ask them..."

Bullet comments aren't just a channel for吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or complain); they can also be a channel for communication. There are quite a few people in that world who are willing to share information.

Otto's words jolted most people in the myriad worlds awake. Indeed, they knew very little about Saber, Lancer, and the Master that Kiritsugu Emiya spoke of. As a result, many people began to ask the audience of the Type-Moon world about the relevant settings.

L: "A war to gather seven Servants around the Holy Grail? The omnipotent wish-granting machine, how could such a thing exist?"

Conan: "Another completely unscientific incident, but by now I should get used to it."

Ai Haibara: "A clone of a deceased being summoned from history, legends, and myths... In other words... are these two heroes from different eras?"

Eriri: "Doesn't anyone care when Alicia appeared behind Irisviel?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Abandoning his wife and running away alone, this Emiya Kiritsugu is clearly not a good person."

The barrage of comments kept scrolling across the screen, while Kiritsugu Emiya remained silent.

Irisviel is the Holy Grail itself, and with the Saber scabbard in her possession, there's no way she could be in any danger. As for Kiritsugu Emiya, he should have remained hidden in the shadows, but he never expected to be noticed by that girl in a single encounter.

They made that decision decisively for their own safety and to ensure the continuation of the Holy Grail War.

However, there's no need to send this explanation in the comments or explain anything further, because Irisviel will understand what she means.

But... to abandon his wife? Perhaps Kiritsugu Emiya is just that kind of shameless person. The more Irisviel understands him, the more pain he suffers.

Chapter Four: The Pink Fairy Miss Who's Planning to Steal Someone's Job

The eye contact between Kiritsugu Emiya and Alice was just a simple interlude.

[In the light screen image, the battle between Saber and Lancer continues, but both sides are still testing each other and neither is going all out.]

Even though they weren't fighting with all their might, the superhuman strength of both sides still left a fifty-meter radius area in ruins, with many containers destroyed by the attacks of spears and invisible blades.

Such a level of combat intensity gives the impression that even those standing by and watching might be unable to withstand the aftershocks of the battle, resulting in a clash between gods and the suffering of mortals.

After some more testing attacks on each other, the two men retreated in tacit understanding.

Lancer stood still, his left short spear hanging naturally at his sides, his right long spear resting on his shoulder, and he praised with a smile, "As expected of Saber, such powerful skills. You must have been a very formidable knight in your lifetime."

Saber: "A knight? I suppose so. But you, with your superb marksmanship and martial arts skills, must have been a powerful warrior in your lifetime."

Lancer chuckled upon hearing this: "Such crude martial arts are far inferior to yours as Saber, but... even so, I will dedicate the victory of this Holy Grail War to my lord."
