"Go ahead and buy whatever you like to eat."
Looking at the wallet handed over by Shinji, Saber-chan stuffed all the remaining Osaka yaki into his mouth, took the wallet, glared at Saber again, and turned around to leave.
After all, it's Master's order, so you should obey it, not because you want to eat it, just because it's Master's order!
It is said that Black Card cannot be used at this kind of stall. It is really unreasonable that only banknotes can be used. If it could be used, I would have... ahem!
Seeing a man on tiptoes ordering takoyaki Saber-chan very "arrogantly" in front of a certain stall, Saber clenched her fists and let out a bitter tut.
At this moment, Saber completely regarded herself in this other possibility as another existence instead of herself.
This also proves that it is impossible for these two sabers to live together peacefully in daily life. After all, each has his own ideas, just like Emiya Shirou and Red A.
"Shinji Matou, what possibility is she talking about? I don't believe there is such a possibility!"
"Anyway, don't worry about it. Just treat her as another existence. It's probably best not to let her thoughts affect you."
As he said that, Shinji put his trouser pockets in and glanced behind Shirou, "You should have seen similar things, right? Just like Archer and Emiya."
"Isn't it the same as Shirou and Archer's example..."
Before Saber could finish her retort, she was interrupted again by Shinji. Shinji's expression turned unusually serious and she said seriously, "Saber, there is nothing different. In fact, it is the same in a certain sense. And you should listen to the advice. The answer you want will one day be found in this era. That ending (returning to Avalon) is the best happy ending for you."
And she (Saber-chan) will also have her own ending. You should also understand that because of different experiences, the two of you are no longer the same person in a sense. If you care too much, you may even lose the happy ending that you can touch. "
After all, I don't want to be annoyed by two Sabers!
Shinji added silently in his heart.
"But... but I just care so much! When I hear those words, as the king, how can I not care?"
"It's my fault that I didn't tell her in advance, but it would be better if you take note of what I just said, and maybe tomorrow she will change her mind and choose the same path as you."
"I..." Saber wanted to say something else, but finally gave up.
However, at this moment, Illya on the side suddenly got his IQ online. He looked straight at Shinji with eyes like Ruby and said.
"I think the hope that Saber mentioned must be related to you, right? Shinji Matou..."
Seeing Illya with a hint of subtle cunning flashing through his eyes, Shinji also admired this little devil who looked harmless from the bottom of his heart.
She really never gave up at any time to drive Saber away from Shirou, leaving Shirou with only herself!
"Really? Shinji Matou!"
Shinji, who was being stared at by Saber, curled his lips under Saber's huge pressure and said casually, "I told you not to be affected. There is no existence in this universe that can do that kind of thing. Illya, I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense. I'm just an ordinary person! No more, I have to look for Sakura and Rider. I don't know where they went for a while. Really..."
Having said that, Shinji was about to turn around and flee. The tauren would never do such a thing, but...
I'm afraid she will send it to her door herself!
"Wait! Shinji Matou!"
Saber stretched out her hand and held Shinji's shoulder. Shirou looked at the scene in front of her with a subtle expression of dilemma.
Don't even know what to say.
Of course, Shirou didn't understand what it meant.
"What's wrong?"
Rin was walking slowly with Red A. What he just saw was Saber holding down Shinji. She couldn't help but feel confused. There should be no intersection between this large Saber and Shinji. What's wrong?
As for Red A, although he had no idea what was going on, he still folded his hands and snorted softly as before, as if he understood everything.
"Speak clearly to me, Shinji Matou!"
"Didn't I make it very clear?"
Shinji was really helpless and sighed, "Don't be influenced by others, Saber. Otherwise, you will really lose everything you could have gained and the happy ending, and in exchange for deeper despair, don't you think it's okay?"
"But..."
"No buts!"
After that, Shinji broke away from Saber's hand and quickly got into the crowd of people coming and going. Shinji completely disappeared if a few people didn't pay attention.
A few seconds later, looking at Saber who had her head lowered and her expression hidden in the shadows without saying a word, Shirou called out tentatively.
"Sa... ber? What... why don't you eat something too?"
What was rare was that Saber didn't say anything for the first time after hearing such words. She still lowered her head and remained silent.
"What's going on? Shinji Did he do anything stupid again?" Rin asked, then waved her hand, "It's okay to be normal about this kind of thing, after all, that's the kind of guy he is."
"I heard everything..."
Rin turned around and looked at Shinji behind him with a look of disdain on his face, and said with disdain, "So what if you heard me, I didn't say anything wrong."
"Forget it, I don't want to argue with you today." After saying that, Shinji looked at Saber, who still had her head lowered. "Saber, that's right. If you can't let go, just come with me. I just want to explain to Saber-chan, and if you want, you can come with us."
After saying that, Shinji turned around, took two steps and then stopped again. He raised his head and looked at the sky where fireworks were still blooming and sighed softly.
"I can't even watch the fireworks quietly, really."
Matou Residence, living room.
Ten o'clock at night.
Shinji stood in front of a whiteboard with something written on it like a teacher holding a teaching stick. He pointed at the whiteboard and continued to say something to Saber and others who were listening attentively.
There are eight people participating in the Shinji special course: Shirou, Rin, Sakura, Illya, a senior and a junior, saber, rider and Red A.
"... Have you understood what I have said so far? Now to summarize what I have said before, that is to say, even if you, Saber, really go back and change the past, Britain will eventually meet the same demise due to the rules of the world itself and the corrective power of Human Order, history itself."
"Yes, I understand." Saber nodded, and then pointed to the young Saber aside, "Then what is the only hope she said? What does it have to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter. Okay, next question."
"Don't even think about passing by!"
Seeing that Saber was resolute, he might become another Saber-chan if he didn't say anything, so Shinji finally gave up hiding it.
However, the method he chose was not to speak directly. Instead, he looked at Saber-chan who was listening carefully while eating the snacks he bought at the festival.
"Saber-chan, let me make it clear in advance that changing the past you want is not simply resetting history. Let's put it this way, going back to the past means that the present becomes your past, and the past you return to becomes your future. So changing the past is equivalent to destroying the future and this era in a sense. Do you really have this awareness?"
Looking at Shinji who no longer had his usual playful smile but was full of seriousness, Saber-chan finally fell into some kind of silence.
"I know you don't have this consciousness at all, but because you are my servant, I gave you another option. It is also the only plan I can agree to if you make up your mind."
With that said, Shinji took out a marker and drew a long line on the whiteboard. The initial point was marked with the words Britain, and the end point was marked with the words "humankind's demise and the end of the world."
"Because I don't want to destroy this era, but still want to change the past, the only way is to wait for the day when the planet and mankind will die naturally. If one day I really gain such great power, I can promise you to help you go back to the past and help you."
"I see. In that case, it is indeed the most perfect solution. After all, the world has perished." Rin nodded.
"No, there are bigger problems." Illya shook his head, "The waiting time is extremely long, it could be thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and as I just said, the rules of the world will still correct the changed history."
Shinji said, "So didn't I say that the premise is that I will have great power by then? Since I have great power, then the rules of the world can probably be avoided. As for the life span...Saber-chan is Servant. As long as the magic power is enough, it can always exist."
"I'm talking about whether your life span is good or not..."
Illya complained, UU Reading
But then he noticed something again. Looking at Shinji's extremely calm look, Tong Kong trembled with disbelief on his face.
"Shinji Matou, your lifespan can be said to be..."
Shinji, who ignored Illya, looked at Saber-chan again and asked very seriously, "How is it? Are you sure you want to accept the ending that requires thousands or even tens of thousands of years or more to wait? Moreover, by that time I may not have the power to compete with the rules of this world itself. In that case, your waiting will still be in vain."
After listening to Shinji's words, Saber-chan lowered his head and said nothing. Judging from his clenched fists, he seemed to be engaged in some kind of fierce psychological struggle.
The hope of this choice is pitiful, and it will take a long time to wait. Maybe some obsessions will be wiped out in that extremely long time.
Let alone Saber-chan about this kind of thing, even Saber on the side felt that she had no way to make a choice. This kind of gambling that was not even a gamble was really too desperate.
Everyone present thought so without exception.
"I..." Saber-chan opened his mouth, but then his voice fell silent. It was obvious that he did not have this awareness.
Shinji, who had already expected this outcome, turned around and calmly wiped the whiteboard full of writing in preparation for homework after class.
But just when Shinji was about to push away the whiteboard and announce that everyone was going back to their homes after class, Saber-chan's voice sounded again.
"I want to try it! Shinji!"
Shinji staggered and almost fell down. Then he turned around and looked at Saber-chan with twitching eyes. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath.
"Are you serious?!"
