The Collection of The End

My name is Alaya,

Kiritsugu was dreaming.

? ? :? ? :? ?

Rumor has it that King Arthur has blond hair as dazzling as the sun, a voice that is clearer and more melodious than a troubadour, and blue eyes like emeralds.

Although it is possible to imagine a handsome and handsome man based on this, there is no problem with these descriptions when used to describe women—for example, the blond girl in a coarse sarong walking in front of Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Hurry up~ Teacher Meilin, you suggested to sneak out, why are you walking so slowly?"

Judging from the voice, she was undoubtedly Saber Lily, Arturia who was summoned by her own wife and had not yet become king, so there was no doubt that she was dreaming at this moment.

The Einzbern family has recorded this. As the time spent together grows, the master and his summoned servants may enter each other's memories in dreams. This is also a good opportunity to deepen the bond.

If it's the black one, it's okay, but if the white one sees his past, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.

Kiritsugu observed the surrounding environment, and it was no surprise that all he could see were old-style buildings and streets, and the crowded arena not far away should be the place where Arturia just sneaked out.

However, she seems to have called Merlin? But there was no sign of anyone else nearby—

"Let's go, Merlin—" Under Kiritsugu's unexpected gaze, the petite girl named Artoria turned around impatiently, grabbed his sleeve and walked forward: "Although I know you can change your shape at will. , but what is the image of this uncle with a beard and an old coat? Will it become popular in the future?"

"Where are you going?" Although there were many questions to be resolved, Kiritsugu still asked the most important one at the moment.

"Draw your sword," said Artoria, who had dragged Kiritsugu into a cemetery behind a church, "You said you want me to pull out the sword in the stone to scare those big bastards who are fighting, why? Have you forgotten yourself?"

"Of course, this sword was originally born for you, but after they couldn't pull out the sword, they planned to decide the king through a contest, but they thought you were not qualified to participate." Kiritsugu's mind quickly flashed the life records of King Arthur in history , and put himself into Merlin, and finally said so.

Although this should only be Saber's memory, no matter what you do, it won't be affected, but since I don't know why I can participate in it myself, there is nothing wrong with giving it a try.

"[The one who pulls out the sword in the stone is the king of England], uh... can I really do it?" Arturia hesitated before walking to the sword in the stone: "After all, I don't He is mature, his swordsmanship has just been able to match that of Brother Kai, and he can't even ride a horse at all..."

She didn't seem to consider her biggest disadvantage as a woman at all... Kiritsugu was speechless for a moment, and then said in a commanding tone: "Pull it up, immediately."

"Ah!" Arturia seemed to be very afraid of Kiritsugu's tone, and pulled out the sword in the stone in a defensive posture: "Don't suddenly hit me with magic again!"

Very good, it's that sword, that's right, Kiritsugu identified the long sword with a golden body decorated with blue enamel, and he could confirm that it was Saber Lily's [Winning Golden Sword], so he nodded slightly, ignoring his own why It's such a trivial thing to suddenly hit Arturia with magic.

Affected by Kiritsugu's movements, after turning her attention to the Sword in the Stone in her hand, Arturia was stunned: "Well, I'm obviously not ready yet..."

After waiting for a while but not waking up from the dream, Kiritsugu frowned.

If the time passes synchronously, I have been in a defenseless state for nearly half an hour in this world. Although the real time should be midnight and all parties are in a state of truce, if I can't wake up,

He's going to have to—

"Haha, congratulations, Kai." "It will be perfect if you pull out the sword in the stone again." "Perhaps winning this competition is also one of the conditions for drawing the sword?" "You have to try, right?" "Huh? Someone is here ?” “Isn’t that your step-sister?”

A group of armored knights were walking towards a man who was stronger and taller than them.

"That... Brother Kai?" Arturia was trying to hide the Sword in the Stone behind her back, but her slender figure couldn't block such a big sword at all.

"Hehe." The knight known as Kai opened the helmet's mask, revealing a mature and stable face. He looked at the Sword in the Stone and Kiritsugu who stood aside, and suddenly knelt down on one knee to Artoria: "Where my king's sword is pointing, our hearts are going."

"This..." The knights who followed Kai and regarded him as the king obviously couldn't accept this development, and they were all stunned.

"Boom!" There was a violent explosion, and the stone with the sword in the stone shattered into pieces. The frightened knights turned to look at the strange magic wand that was still smoking in Merlin's hand, and finally followed Kai half-kneeling one by one. down.

"What my king's sword is pointing at, what our hearts are going to—"

It's not that he can't play with them, Kiritsugu turned his eyes away from Arturia who was frantically trying to help the knights up, and turned to the "magic wand" in his hand.

After all, in reality, there is no chance of launching a Barrett M82A1 with one hand.

? ? :? ? :? ?

Since Arturia does not think she is a qualified king, and the lords all over Britain will not easily obey a man who has no achievements other than pulling the sword in the stone as king, so the future king embarked on a journey of cultivation .

Although she was doing a practice called the Way of the King, with Artoria's ability to easily feel other people's emotions, she got involved in many unrelated troubles along the way.

Usually it starts with her meddling, Merlin shoots and blows things up until Kay has to call in the other knights to help.

Emiya Kiritsugu was not surprised at the scene where he was still drawing his sword from the stone before, and then appeared in the traveling carriage the next moment. Rather, if this dream really continued minute by minute, he would have to Take measures to forcibly escape from the dream.

Artoria in front of her was wearing a white skirt similar to when she was summoned, and her temperament was no longer as green and innocent as when she drew her sword. The light of thinking and determination had begun to appear in her eyes, but her whole body was still transparent. A wave of hope for the future.

"That person needs help!" She didn't know what she saw, and suddenly jumped off with a flick of her skirt, and Kai, who was driving, had no choice but to stop the carriage.

On the side of the road where the carriage stopped, there is an exquisite small castle. Judging from its size and location, it has no military ability or enemy defense value at all, but the decoration is gorgeous and the materials are exquisite. It's not as good as it is. On the whole, it was deliberately built by a rich third-rate nobleman to enjoy it.

And the chunky guy with a sad face in front of the castle gate at the moment fits this description perfectly.

With a false expression, an awkward stance, and dodgy eyes, it was obvious that he was planning something.

Even in a dream, Kiritsugu's professionalism allowed him to quickly judge that this person approached Artoria for other purposes. appearance is enough.

"Hi~ My name is Artoria, you seem to need help, would you mind telling us?" Look, the meddling pre-king came over just like that.

"You, hello, respected King of Britain, it is an honor to meet you. My name is Anor, and I am a small lord here." The short and fat middle-aged man rubbed his hands: "Although there is a small problem with the territory , but how can I ask you to help me?"

Very shrewd, he seemingly inadvertently mentioned the issue of "territory", and this is an element that every king will not ignore. He also deliberately made an expression that he was looking forward to help but was afraid of something and dared not say it. Coupled with the fact that most of the nobles ignored the titular King of England, he deliberately showed respect to Artoria, and he was definitely a skilled liar.

"It doesn't matter, just tell me, if I really can't solve it, I won't try to be brave!" Artoria was really tricked, she patted the empty breastplate and said in a big way.

In fact, if it can't be solved by relying on her ability, it's time for Kiritsugu and Kai to fight, right?

"Well, you should see this castle. It's just a toy made by a little rich man. It doesn't have any military value or threat, but the nearby King Bolinor claims that this castle has affected his power. Safe, order me to either hand it over or prepare to fight his army," the little lord who called himself Anor said with a sad face: "But I am a merchant lord, and I don't have an army at all."

"Hmm..." Artoria thought for a while, then suddenly clapped her hands: "He just wants to take your castle!"

Kiritsugu almost wanted to sigh, the most superficial layer of this deception was almost invisible, there was still a long way to go to become a qualified king.

"Yes... yes," the expression on Anor's face was distorted for a moment, but he immediately adjusted back: "And he said that today he will issue an ultimatum at the end, and if he doesn't agree, he will go to war directly. Look..."

"I'll negotiate with him, if it doesn't work, stop him through a duel!" Artoria said firmly.

"Then I will thank you, my king." Anor stepped back slightly with a little pride: "Now please let me show my kindness as a landlord..."

Probably even the liar himself didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed, and since his plan really needed Artoria's help with force, he deceived her instinct of all things to try.

Tread Tat Tat - the sound of horseshoes, in the direction of the front of the carriage, several knights are galloping, they are dressed in silver helmets and silver armor, with silver guns on their backs, before the people arrive, the voice of the leader has already arrived :

"King Arthur! Even if you pull out the sword in the stone, it doesn't mean that you can meddle in the affairs of my king's territory!"

Oh, so that's the case, this Anor seems to have had a conflict of interest with King Bolino for a long time, and received information about Artoria's passing, so he planned to use the unequal information between the two parties to provoke them to fight each other.

What he told the king over there was probably a lie that King Arthur was dissatisfied with this unruly castle and asked him to rebuild or tear it down, and this kind of behavior of casually interfering in the construction of other lords' territories is generally not tolerated by the local nobles of.

Kiritsugu tilted his head, and Kai happened to cast his gaze over, and the two nodded as if they had reached a consensus after meeting their eyes—since they both understand what this misunderstanding is about, then the solution is very simple.

"You two, please listen to me first—" "Bang!!"

Just as Kai opened his mouth to stop the duel, the NTW-20 in Kiritsugu's hand had already fired and hit Anor's forehead, and the liar spun into the castle he used as a deceptive tool, and then something came out Completely shattered, the sound of filling spilled all over the floor.

The audience was silent.

"You! Even if you are Merlin! I want to duel with you!" King Bolino finally reacted, took off the silver spear from his back and pointed at Kiritsugu.

"Oh? Yes, come on." Kiritsugu switched the gun from his left hand to his right hand, and the powerful single-shot NTW-20 swayed like a reflection on the surface of the water, turning into a QBU-10 with strong continuous-fire capability.

"No!" "King Bolino! Please calm down! You will die!"

It seems that King Arthur broke the sword in the stone because of this designed duel, so... Forget it, it was a dream anyway.

Ignoring King Bolino who was clamoring for a duel over there, Kiritsugu took out a cigarette with a blank expression.

99:45:11

"Huh? Did Kiritsugu dream of something good? Even the frown that was always frowning was relaxed."

Irisviel lay sideways beside Emiya Kiritsugu, touching his forehead with a little curiosity.
