~7 min read 1,210 words

【Kaito Kuroba excitedly waved his fist.】

【However, he noticed that the red-haired giant, who was as sturdy as a mountain, was still focused on playing his game. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and his mood plummeted.】

【"Could it be another disguise? Rider?"】

【"Whoa~~, this is amazing."】

【Without answering his question, the sturdy King looked at the scene in the game, which had turned into a brilliant white, and exclaimed in wonder.】

【Kaito Kuroba glanced at it: "Tch, a weapon that brings world peace—of course something that makes the five great nations sit down and talk calmly is amazing."】

【The King stroked his chin: "Where can one buy this? If my legion were equipped with this thing called a 'nuclear weapon'... Never mind, if only it could be turned into a Noble Phantasm."】

【Kaito Kuroba rolled his eyes.】

【Noble Phantasms are the crystallization of concepts; they don't just change whenever you want... Uh, considering the impact of nuclear weapons on the course of history, if it were a future Heroic Spirit, maybe they really would have this...】

【Imagining some Heroic Spirit with a wild expression, launching nuclear-bomb Noble Phantasms across the sky, Kaito Kuroba's face turned pale with fright.】

【Pah, pah, pah... Children's words are unintentional, children's words are unintentional.】

【But then again, Servants are also flesh and blood; even ordinary nuclear weapons should have some effect, right?】

【"Yo, Master, it seems you have some doubts about the power of Servants."】

【With a bang, the King tapped Kaito Kuroba on the head with a finger, making him wince, then picked up his coat and stood up, walking toward the door.】

【"Let's go, I'll show you the power of a Servant."】

……

【Under the moonlight.】

【The dark blue seawater pushed in layer by layer, lapping against slender, fair ankles.】

【Yukinoshita Haruno took a step in the seawater: "A Servant has already been defeated, Saber."】

【"Berserker?"】

【The blonde girl in a black slim-fit suit stood on the shore, her azure eyes quietly watching the girl.】

【"It's not certain yet..." Haruno narrowed her eyes.】

【She always felt something was wrong, but that violent posture, like a fierce tiger ravaging the sky, should indeed be Berserker, no mistake.】

【But she always felt that Caster was a bit too weak...】

【Forget it, let's just enjoy this rare time.】

【Under the tranquil moonlight.】

【"By the way, as the King of an island nation, does Saber like the sea?"】

【Yukinoshita Haruno lifted her foot, splashing water, and suddenly asked.】

【"Like or dislike, it's hard to say. In my era, in my country, the barbarians across the sea called the Saxons often invaded my country."】

【The night sea breeze gently stirred the girl's drooping blonde hair, and scenes of the past seemed to be reflected in her amber-blue eyes.】

【"Therefore, I have only ever loathed the ocean; I have never yearned for it."】

【"A King's life is truly difficult. Unable to like anything, one can only pin one's hopes on such a matter-of-fact thing as eating."】

【Even the blonde King was caught off guard.】

【No.】

【I eat a lot just because I'm hungry...】

【Wait, is Haruno's budget already unable to support my food expenses?】

【"Only in such a moment, as if short-circuited, does Saber reveal such a girlish posture?"】

【Haruno burst into laughter.】

【"My, Haruno, really."】

【The blonde girl subconsciously soothed her heart.】

【I thought my food was going to be cut off; it's not easy to be able to eat my fill.】

【Suddenly.】

【The girlish posture was swept away; Saber turned around abruptly, looking toward the distant pier.】

【The tyrannical majesty even materialized, eroding reality, forming an invisible force that pushed back the rising tide by who knows how many tons, revealing the dry seabed.】

【With the ground beneath her feet suddenly empty, Haruno reacted instantly, looking over solemnly: "Saber, is it a Servant?"】

【"Indeed!"】

【The blonde girl's suit faded, transforming into solemn silver heavy armor: "A Servant is recklessly radiating their aura in that harbor; they are issuing a challenge."】

【"There is no reason not to respond."】

【Haruno narrowed her eyes, calculating.】

【In that case, that Servant's Master must have come too, right?】

【The blonde girl was smiling.】

【Smiling heartily, with relief and seriousness.】

【In this era, to still be able to meet a Heroic Spirit with such chivalry, how fortunate.】

【"Are we going? Saber?"】

【"I wouldn't have it any other way!"】

………..

【"Ah—————!!! Let me down, let me down, Rider!!!"】

【A series of screams spread along with the swirling thunder dragon.】

【Kaito Kuroba was truly about to pee himself.】

【Damn it. I shouldn't have believed a single word from Rider.】

【He promised to show me the power of a Servant, but it turned out to be speeding through the sky in the middle of the night, carrying a scorching white thunder dragon winding for several kilometers, speeding at over seven times the speed of sound.】

【And it's a damn ox cart, too.】

【Not a shred of protection.】

【He's just a magician, okay? His magic level is still at a novice level.】

【"Hahahaha, if you're a man, stand up, Kaito."】

【The King drove the chariot of divine might, laughing loudly against the storm.】

【This is a chariot pulled by divine oxen possessing the bloodline of Zeus; if not for considering Waver's fragile physique, it could even catch up to lightning.】

【Suddenly.】

【The King turned his head abruptly, looking at the other side of the city, far away. He was silent for a moment before laughing heartily.】

【"Exposing yourself to issue a challenge? What a heroic hero of the past. Sit tight, Kaito..."】

【He grabbed Kaito, who had been thrown to the bottom due to the sudden stop and was clinging to the edge of the cart, scared to the point of fainting, and tossed him back onto the cart.】

【The red-haired giant pulled the reins, turning into a bolt of lightning and heading toward the horizon.】

249. Luo Shu: Saber, in front of me, you are as if naked

【Fuyuki Bay.】

【As one of the four major harbors in Japan, the daily cargo throughput is an astonishing number.】

【Dense containers, like building blocks, were stacked layer upon layer, forming a square world, like a great labyrinth.】

【However, it was late, and most of the manual laborers had already rested.】

【"Da da da..."】

【Amidst the clanging sound of metal colliding, the blonde girl in awe-inspiring armor stepped up the stairs onto the spacious pier.】

【At the end of the road paved with containers.】

【Under the dim lights, the fishy sea breeze blew slowly.】

【A towering figure, one hand behind his back, the other clutching a struggling man in a black bodysuit, turned slowly and looked over with a smile.】

【"I've been waiting for a long time, Saber."】

【Crack.】

【The martial artist, whose aura was wantonly tyrannical, snapped the neck of the man in the bodysuit like he was killing a chicken, and tossed him aside.】

【With a bang, he turned into a pale golden stream of spirit particles and slowly dissipated.】

【"Assassin?!!"】

【The blonde King, who was walking step by step, and Haruno, who was smiling, had their pupils shrink sharply.】

【"Indeed, I have been walking in the city without any concealment for a day, and only this rat in the gutter tried to kill me. Unfortunately..."】
