065, The Holy Grail's Choice

Most greatness in this world was mixed with the word sacrifice.

But if that kind of righteous greatness required sacrificing those around him and his own happiness—

Rimuru would not hesitate to trample it beneath his feet and grind it into the dirt.

Perhaps even Rimuru himself had not realized it. Though he kept saying he wanted to give Shirou Emiya a chance, and though his rational mind had convinced itself because he doted on Rin, subconsciously, he had been constantly accelerating the Holy Grail War—shortening the time Shirou Emiya had to grow.

For Rimuru, Shirou Emiya's biggest problem was his extremely twisted way of life. It often affected and provoked those around him. Rin was somewhat better off; under Rimuru's constant influence, she was gradually taking on Rimuru's shape. But Saber was different.

Sylphiel, who had silently watched the show all along, saw everything. She licked the corner of her lips with the tip of her tongue, then smiled as she took tiny steps after Rimuru.

During that time, Rimuru did not idle around either. He summoned Animusphere and transferred the Command Seals to him in front of Saber.

With that, Saber's Master changed once again, and her attributes changed as well.
