I Love You, Ma'am! (Continued)
If it's a Servant who talks about chivalry all the time, has their own ideas, or is foul-mouthed and backstabbing, even if the other party obeys your orders, so what? At most, you can just vent your anger, but your life is not guaranteed at all!
"Saber, let's go eat at the buffet."
After spending an afternoon of fun and excitement in Fuyuki City with Old Saber, Alice Phil passed by a shop and pointed inside, laughing, "I've always been curious about buffets. If it were Saber, I'd definitely get my money's worth."
Old Saber: "..."
Madam Irisviel's words made Old Saber feel a little hungry. After all, he was a humanoid red dragon, and even with Kiritsugu's Dad's magical energy supply, he still had plenty. But the satisfaction that food brought was incomparable to magic.
So he nodded and said:
"Indeed, replenishing physical strength before a battle is a serious and necessary matter."
After saying that, the two walked into the buffet restaurant, ready to educate the owner about what it means to have the appetite of ten people and the truth that opening a buffet restaurant in Fuyuki City is a dead end.
Half an hour later, Alice Phil was already full. She rested her chin on her hand and watched the knight beside her devour the food on a certain table with the most elegant eating posture and the most terrifying speed.
Until
"Madam and Sir, do you mind if we sit here?"
A male voice rang out from across the table, causing Alice Phil and Old Saber to look up and see a couple who looked like high school students about to sit down across from them.
"This--"
Alice Phil naturally wouldn't mind such a trivial matter. What surprised her was the undisguised red Command Spell on the back of the other person's right hand.
"Master?!"
Old Saber also discovered the 'fact' of Mo Yi being the Master, and his expression changed as he prepared to protect Alice Phil beside him.
Alice Phil gave the other person a look to reassure them, and said, "It's alright, Saber—"
"This is a public place, there won't be a fight."
"Um--"
After responding, Old Saber sat back down and looked at Mo Yi. Only then did he have time to observe and scrutinize the girl next to Mo Yi. His pupils dilated instantly, and he couldn't help but shout out.
"Aika— "
Upon seeing the innocent girl who resembled an elf, Old Saber couldn't help but recall the Beast 666 that he had finally managed to defeat in his previous world. It was only with the combined efforts of him, Old Saber, and Old Saber, along with incredible luck and miracles, that he managed to defeat it. It was the strongest boss he had encountered in all these years.
Now that this boss has reappeared before him, how could Old Saber not be shocked?!
"Snort--"
Aika had already recognized the Old Saber. She had seen it before through Clairvoyance EX. The Servant she originally summoned should be the Silver Knight sitting opposite her, and the ending where the other party betrayed her.
For Aika in this parallel world, this is just a future that hasn't happened yet. After meeting Mo Yi, she completely forgot about him. She never expected to see him here, and she couldn't help but feel disgusted—compared to the great Lord Mo Yi, this guy is just trash!
Of course, Green Song didn't dare to show it. Even if it was only in the future, she didn't want Mo Yi to know about the possible connection between her and Old Saber.
But now that the other party had directly called out her name, Green Song could no longer pretend. She looked at Old Saber with a cold gaze and said, "In this country, it is very impolite to address strangers by their names!"
"This is our first time meeting, although I don't know why Mr. Saber knows my name."
"However, I don't want to hear you call me by my name a second time, or don't blame me for being impolite."
"Love... Miss Sajou—"
Old Saber calmed down, realizing that this was a parallel world, and encountering someone he had met before was quite normal. However, the slight aura the other party had just emitted strongly suggested that the blonde girl before him was essentially the same as the final boss he had fought in his previous world—a monster connected to the Root!
In that instant, Old Saber had no time to pay attention to the old friend's sentiments. What concerned him more was whether he had to try to defeat the Beast 666 again. He knew that the last time he succeeded, he had a lot of reliable teammates and luck, as well as the special feelings the other party had for him, which, even if he was unwilling to admit it, objectively existed, and the fact that the other party had spared him countless times when he could have killed him.
This time, it's clear that the other person has taken a liking to the guy next to them.
The thought of a girl who, once in love, would become recklessly crazy would only make things worse. If the man beside her was an ordinary person with no particular desires, then at most, Aika Sajou would just become a clingy girl in the throes of passionate Aika.
If the other party has some strange wish, such as becoming the most powerful person in the world, Ayaka Aika might take action and use any means necessary to help them achieve their wish, which would be troublesome!
However, the Command Spell on his right hand revealed his identity as a magician, and magicians are rarely good people. At the very least, in this Holy Grail War, he will likely face the invincible Ayaka Aika again.
"I was just thinking of someone from the past who was very similar to you, and that's why I offended you. I apologize."
"Snort--"
Green Song snorted coldly, but remembering that Lord Mo Yi was still by her side, she couldn't show anything and said, "What an old excuse, Saber."
"However, I don't care about a stranger like you."
Mo Yi used the "head pat" technique, which he had developed over the past two days specifically to soothe Ayaka Aika, to calm her down.
Mo Yi will bring Sajou Aika out today. On the surface, it's to gather intelligence and see if they can encounter that unlucky master and servant and have a door-opening kill. In reality, it's just to take Sajou Aika out for a break, because he can't farm Redemption Value at the Sajo Family anymore, so he has to come out and unlock a new area.
Then, sensing the presence of Servants halfway there, Mo Yi led Green Song over to see which Servant dared to be alone, and then he saw Alice Phil and her ahoge... Old Saber?!
Okay, since Assassin can become Red A, then Saber simply being gender-swapped as the Old Saber doesn't seem like a big deal... what a load of rubbish!
King Arthur couldn't possibly be a girl!
The War of the Broken Cups without Saber is meaningless!
Without Gold Fertilizer —no, I mean Excalibur —who's going to chop up the Holy Grail? Am I supposed to Joan of Arc -destruct the Holy Grail again?!
Although he was unhappy, since he had seen her, Mo Yi still went up to greet her. This was basic courtesy for a boss. After all, Madam Irisviel was once a character Mo Yi liked. Well, she wasn't a two-dimensional wife. Mo Yi wasn't the kind of person who would say things like, "I like you, Mrs. I like you more, Mrs. I still like you more." The only two characters who could become Mo Yi's two-dimensional wife were Miss Mei... and similar pure girls!
"Don't be nervous, I just happened to run into you and thought I'd come over and say hello."
Mo Yi smiled and looked at Alice Phil, saying:
"I am Mo Yi, the Master of the Sajo Family. Hmm, that sounds a bit strange, but it's understandable, since the Master of the Einstein family is also an outsider like Emiya Kiritsugu."
"Don't you think so, Madam Irisviel?"
Alice Phil: "..."
The other person seemed very kind, unlike any magician she knew. Yet, just a few words from him made Alice Phil feel very upset. How did he know that her husband was Saber's Master?
They had clearly split up since the Einstein family's residence, with Saber always by her side. Unless the other party had installed a familiar surveillance device in the Einstein family's castle in Germany, it would have been impossible for them to see through the scheme so easily.
"There's really no need to be nervous, Madam Irisviel— "
Mo Yi continued evading taxes, laughing:
"How about I perform a little magic trick for you to relax?"
