Three days, three whole days!
Except when going to the toilet, taking a shower, and sleeping, Shinji can feel Saber's gaze staring straight at him all the time!
The third Monday in July.
Five o'clock in the morning.
After waking up and feeling the same sight as before from the side, Shinji kept an expressionless face and opened his eyes.
The little man with a cushion sat on his knees beside the bed upright. After seeing Shinji getting up, he immediately sent the greetings that Servant should have.
"Good morning, Shinji."
Shinji, who sat up, forced a smile and nodded slightly in response, and then put on clothes that were suitable for exercise while Saber-chan's sight was not diverted.
The same was true even when going out. Saber-chan's sight never shifted. It wasn't until he completely left home that Shinji felt that his sight had completely disappeared.
After she warned Saber that night, Saber indeed stopped asking her to help, but she just didn't say it, and her sight never stopped!
Shinji, who ran all the way to Ryuudou Temple, attended morning classes and breakfast at a temple and was kicked out by Isshin.
Throughout the morning, Shinji passed through the house three times without entering, which fully demonstrated that Shinji was not very capable of dealing with Saber's type of person who would stick to one thing after seeing it for sure.
No one else would be able to stand staring at him like that every moment. This Young Golden Flash is so deceiving! The result of the nonsense was that Saber took it seriously.
"Brother, you look a little troubled~"
Talking about the thief, the thief arrived, looking at Young Golden Flash wearing a summer dress with his trouser pockets inserted, Shinji followed the way saber looked at herself and stared at Young Golden Flash closely.
Realizing that the blame in Shinji's eyes was about to turn into resentment, Young Golden Flash shrugged his shoulders and cried out in humiliation, "Don't look at me like that, big brother, and I think I'm not wrong. If there is really hope that Saber's wish can come true and that her subjugation can break Human History Human Order's rules and continue, you should be the only one, right?"
"I told you that I can't do it anymore, why don't you all listen to what I'm saying?"
Shinji held his forehead and sighed heavily, and then muttered in a low voice, "Speaking of which, your expectations for me are really very high. There is nothing in this universe that can do that kind of thing. Why do you think I can do it? Alexander..."
"Of course because..."
With that said, Young Golden Flash started up again and continued softly as he passed by Shinji: "You don't belong to this universe, big brother..."
Seeing Young Golden Flash who left such a sentence drifting away, Shinji was silent for a moment and then lowered his head and sighed again. It seemed that he really had to find a way to calm Saber down for the time being, otherwise he might be tortured by his gaze from time to time for a long time.
Squeak——
At this time, Saber-chan, who pushed open the door of the mansion, looked at Shinji who was standing beside the door, raised his face and said seriously, "Shinji, it's time to have lunch soon, come in quickly."
Saber-chan's straight gaze came online again. Shinji also chose to surrender at this moment. Under Saber-chan's non-stop gaze for a second, he lowered his head and silently stepped into the door.
After lunch, Shinji was also the first to speak.
"Saber, please forgive me for today. It is a holiday after all. Can you let me spend this holiday comfortably?"
"Holiday?" Saber-chan was stunned.
"It's Marine Day oh Saber-chan." Sakura on the side took over the words at the right time and explained with a smile, "The so-called Marine Day is to thank the day for the grace from the ocean. There will be a festival at the seaside, and there will also be a fireworks display at night."
"That's it." Saber-chan nodded, but then he thought of his country's subjugation. He lowered his head and clenched his fists, showing a bit of unbearability. "This country has established a festival to thank the ocean for its grace.
But my former country has never enjoyed the grace of the sea..."
"Isn't that Great Britain also close to the ocean?" Sakura showed some confusion.
Saber-chan nodded. "Hey, the sea in my hometown has high winds and waves, just like the temples of thousands of white horses galloping together. Or if you look at the land from the headland now, you can see the long coastline across the sea fog. The sea is dangerous and scary for the people on our border."
"That's it..."
Sakura nodded. Although Sakura had only seen the fierce waves tens of meters high that crashed onto the shore in movies, she could understand Saber-chan's mood because of the disaster movies she had watched.
"Yes, the sea is dangerous."
Rider rarely showed hostility towards Saber-chan, but said this silently.
Perhaps in Rider's heart, the "warriors" who came from the sea to attack him from time to time while alive were no less ferocious than the ferocious waves of Saber country in a sense.
Shinji, who saw the unbearable emotion on Saber-chan's face, stood up slowly after a moment of silence.
"Saber, let's have a nice chat after the celebration."
After listening to Shinji's words, Saber-chan was inexplicably stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shinji in surprise.
"Shinji, you are..."
"Don't get me wrong, and don't expect too much from me. I really can't do what you want. My abilities are indeed limited."
Shinji carried his own plate and walked toward the door without looking back. He talked casually as he walked. When he was about to step out, he suddenly paused and added.
"At least I can't do it now."
Looking at Shinji walking out, Saber-chan belatedly realized the meaning of Shinji's last sentence.
Just because you can't do it now doesn't mean you can't do it in the future!
Looking at Saber-chan who had a smile on his face again, Sakura and Rider looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
This brother/Master also shows his soft-hearted side at certain moments.
Rider asked softly, "Changing history is equivalent to destroying history and rewriting the history of mankind in a sense. Do you really have this awareness? Saber?"
Saber-chan didn't answer, or in other words, he didn't have this awareness yet, he just found a glimmer of hope.
There is hope out there, so do your best to grab it first.
At night, Fuyuki's beach.
The beach is brightly lit today, like a celebration.
Various snack stalls that are only available during the festival form a special coastline on the beach, with an endless stream of Fuyuki City people coming and going.
Many people even wore yukatas that were not worn at this time to enhance the atmosphere.
For example, Sakura, Rider and Saber-chan.
Let Shinji say, in fact, the so-called festival is just like going to the fair when I was a child in my previous life.
Shinji, who was holding the fried noodles he had just bought with a lot of ingredients in his hand, looked at the fireworks that kept blooming in the sky, and he complained from the bottom of his heart that Marine Day, who was grateful for the environmental protection, was turned into this.
Of course, it is funny enough to have such a festival. After all, while people here are grateful, dolphins in another place are still suffering disasters.
Saying one thing and doing another may be the specialty of this nation.
"Shinji..."
After hearing Shirou's voice, Shinji came back to his senses. Looking at Shirou who was also wearing a gray bathrobe in front of him, Shinji shook his head helplessly.
"Do you really think of today as a celebration? Emiya?"
"No..."
Shirou rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly, and then looked at Illya and Saber, who were also wearing yukata, and continued, "It was just that Fuji-nee said that during dinner, and then everyone wanted to give it a try, so..."
"That's it..."
"Then again, Shinji, have you seen Miyu and the others? I heard they are coming too, but I couldn't find them after searching around."
"I saw it before, it seemed like I was going to the beach."
Shinji nodded, then patted Shirou on the shoulder and reminded, "But I think it's better not to disturb the brothers and sisters. You must know that the little girl's wish is to watch the sea with her brother."
"Huh? Is that so?" Illya was stunned.
"Well, as far as I know, that's the case."
"That's right. If that's the case, then it's right not to disturb them as Shinji said."
Shirou said with some emotion, but then his expression became a little subtle and he looked at Saber-chan and Saber who were looking at each other.
Standing next to Shinji, Saber-chan is holding Osaka yaki in his hand, the sauce on his lips has not been wiped clean, and the large saber next to him is empty-handed and frowning.
Saber-chan has another possibility in this world. Shirou has heard Shinji talk about it before, but after seeing the miniature version of Saber with his own eyes, Shirou's mood became a little subtle.
As for Shinji, he also looked calm. After all, in a sense, although the two people are indeed the same person, they are not the same.
After all, the ideas of two people are different because of their different experiences. UU Reading
How can people with different ideas be said to be the same person?
Therefore, as long as two sabers start fighting without meeting each other, there won't be any problem. Shinji used this reason to hypnotize himself in his heart.
"Other me, I have found the hope that Great Britain can change the miserable experience and continue it! Your mission is over, so you can disappear!"
The first sentence Saber-chan said made Shinji spit it out without hesitation. Can we still chat like this? If you can't speak, why don't you just keep your mouth shut?
"What did you say?"
Saber's brows were completely raised, and there was a bit of anger between her brows. Why did the other possible version of herself in this world speak so arrogantly? Is it just because you followed the equally arrogant Master?
"I said I have found hope and your mission is over." Saber-chan repeated.
"Stop talking nonsense, since you are me, you should know that it is impossible to do that kind of thing! Now you, like me, are just looking for an answer that allows you to let go of yourself completely!"
Saber-chan had a serious expression and said again in a soft but clear childish voice, "So I have found the hope that you have not found. Of course, you can't find real hope with Master like that."
"What did you say?!" Saber was really angry. Her other self not only uttered arrogant words, but even insulted her own Master. Who could bear this?
Looking at the two sabers, they immediately became tense. Shirou immediately stopped the big saber among them. After all, one saber is enough. If the two sabers start a fight, this festival may really turn into a blood sacrifice!
