“Are you my master?” she asked , he stood in place, in shock, for a while before quickly asking.
“Master?”
“I, the saber class servant, have come in response to your call.”
“ah…” in response Emiya seemed to grab his hand in slight pain, I couldn’t see why but from what I could tell it was something that answered the woman's question.
“From now on my sword is in your hands and your fate in mine thus the contract is made.” she said.
“Contract? what are you talking about?” she didn't answer. She then turned around and noticed the blue man. She then summoned something into her hand before tightening her grip on it, which I couldn’t see, and rushed to the blue man
Emiya on the other hand seems to rush after the girl seemingly worried for her, even in these types of moments he is still trying to help people. I quickly get up to follow him. We soon see the blue man in response to her rushing to him, responding by bringing up his spear to block the attack. they dance with power and skill as I saw them battle in just that moment, I could tell that these 2 people were someone I don’t want to mess with.
During their clash I could hear the blue man speaking something but I wasn’t able to hear it over the loud noise of the clashes, the sounds they produced were immensely loud for me, I had to cover my ears to not go deaf. Even though I covered my ears I could still hear something coming from Emiya's mouth.
“What is she….” he was in shock by what we were watching, this battle between these 2. Compared to these 2, the battle we had with him is more like a parent playing with a child, no, it was more like an ant to a mountain.
In the noise I could hear the man yelling something, it was “dammit” I think at least. He had a good reason to ask well as he was being pushed back by the woman, the woman paired or blocked his attacks while attacking back as well, her strikes were powerful.
She then attacked his ribs and he blocked the attack before having to block another coming towards him. His spear shined with power as the attacks caused what seemed to be basically explosions.
I could hear him shouting again but it was overpowered by the noise that they were creating, I was starting to worry that they might wake up the neighbor’s from all the noise but to my surprise he suddenly disappeared, noticing that the women was looking up, I followed suit and noticed that he had jump which had made him seem as if he disappeared.
“tch don’t underestimate me.” he said. the woman had struck the air causing dust to blow away.
As soon as he landed he jumped back into the fight, he charged with strength and at the point where he was about to hit her, she quickly spun around and deflected it away.
There was distance between them again, they were silent.
“What’s wrong lancer? it would not give you credit to your name if you just stand there. If you shall not come to me then I’ll come to you.”
“Hah, you're going to come and die, I wouldn’t mind that but first what is your noble phantasm? Is it that sword you’re wielding?” he glared at her in response.
“Who knows, it could be a battle ax, a spear or even a bow.”
“heh, keep talking.” he seemed to be actually laughing before he put down his lance slightly. looking at I could tell that he thought that he was giving up but looking into the eyes of the so called lancer I could tell that he wasn’t to give up yet, it was also the stance that was supposed to end the fight during the scuffle at the school.
“I'll just ask this in case since this is our first meeting, but do you want to end this and call it even?” he asked before continuing. “It’s not a bad deal right? See that senile master over there is useless. It also happens that my master is a coward. I think it would be better to call off this match and get better prepared for the next one.”
“I refuse.” she answered to his question, “you shall fall here, lancer.”
“geez, alright I just wanted to check things out, I wasn’t going to stay here for long once a servant came out.”
Lancer made his stance lower as the air around him seemed to distort slightly, the sound it was producing was loud, it felt as if my ears were going to burst.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“Noble Phantasm!” I could hear her say slightly, she gets ready for something.
“See ya, I'll take that heart of yours.” he said before he disappeared. He appeared in front of the woman as if he teleported and thrusted to her feet. It was a bad move and the woman could tell as she jumped over it.
“gae….”
“.....bolg!”
And just as quickly the spear thrusted from her legs to her heart in an instant. I could see her being thrown up into the air before crashing into the ground with force.
“agh uh…” I could hear her groaning from the pain, I could see the blood coming from her chest.
“a curse…. no. a reverse on causality…” I was confused by what she just said, how was that even possible but I didn’t dwell on it for too long, I looked back at the wound. Even though it was supposed to be fatal, if it was a reversal of causality, she was able to dodge it slightly and not get hit in the heart. the man, even with the woman not being able to do anything currently, didn’t move.
“You evaded the ..” his voice didn’t sound exactly happy but I was more focused on what he said. The Gae was from the story of the Ireland man of light, Cu Chulainn.
“You're Ireland's man of light!” he clicked his tongue, his hostility disappeared and changed with annoyance.
“I screwed up, if I am going to use this move it should be fatal. guess being famous can be too bad….”
“while it is the rule for servants to fight to the death once their identity is discovered, sadly my master is a coward and is ordering for me to leave.”
“you’re going to leave?”
“yeah, you can come after me if you want but be prepared to die.”
“Wait!”
He leaped away from this place, not answering the yell from the women.
I looked around quickly for any danger, seeing none, I grabbed Emiya and dragged him inside.
“hey what are you doing!?”
“taking you inside in case of anything else that might happen.” he just seemed to be confused.
“Another servant is coming!” the woman said before rushing forward. Me and Emiya quickly go after her.
Running after her we could hear the sound of a battle happening, quickly ran forward and i could see that it was Tohsaka and EMIYA. Emiya quickly rushed forward and yelled.
“Stop!” as he said this his hand glowed red before a red aura appeared around the woman and she stopped in her tracks. I could see that if she continued forward she might have killed EMIYA.
“Why did you stop me master!”
“Don’t hurt them, they are friends.” Tohsaka seemed to not like being called that but came forward to talk with Emiya.
“How are you a master! You know what, not important, what is important is that you tell me what is happening.”
“Sure I don't mind, do you want to come in?” Tohsaka just nodded in response.
-----
We were resting in the main room sitting down and drinking some tea that Emiya had made for everyone. EMIYA was outside while Tohsaka sat in front of him while Saber sat beside Emiya. I was sitting beside him on the other side. It was silent for a while as Emiya finished making tea for everyone, Tohsaka started the conversation.
“So why is he here, he isn’t even a master. I could just get rid of his memories.” i just looked at her with bewilderment for how she was able to just say without caring that i was here. Emiya didn’t seem to be so happy at the fact of what she had said.
“You can’t just do that!” he yelled at her, she looked at him as if she was challenging him to do something about it.
“Of course I can, and plus he isn’t a mage or anything. It would be better if he just stayed out of this.”
“Well we could just…..teach him or something!” He was passionate about not having my memories erased.
“If i can say something, it would be better for me to be here due to the fact that lancer might go after me.”
“You… have a point…”
“But we can’t just teach you, we are currently dealing with a war, I don't have the time to teach you and from the looks of things, emiya-san doesn’t look like he would be a good teacher.” She had a point, during the time that was making us tea, she was explaining the holy grail war.
“You have a point. But then what can we do, just leaving him could be dangerous and I am not willing to just let my friend die.”
“You sure are protective to say the least, how about this? We can leave him at the church for protection.” the church, it was a place that i didn’t like to go to because of the priest there. He always had this aura around him that felt dangerous.
“I got a better idea!” a voice was heard coming from outside of the house. It was EMIYA, or archer to them, who spoke.
“What do you mean archer!” she didn’t seem happy, “You barely do anything for me but this nobody just appears and decides to help. HEH, that’s so stupid!” yeah she wasn’t happy.
“Master, would it not be better to have a competent teammate, he could be used as a spy or something similar, if not that then at least we could get him to summon the last servant and have another ally.” I didn't know how to feel about that.
“I mean that would be a good idea but either way, what could you teach him!”
“The basics.”
“-_-” she was not impressed, “Fine go ahead!”
“Wait before we continue. Why is this war even a thing?”
“Huh!? Do you not even know such a thing, tch.”
“Sorry but I'm not that much of a mage!”
“It’s fine, but I have a better question. Do you even want to be in this war, it is dangerous and could end your life.”
“Hey don’t do such things to my master!” the woman finally spoke. It seemed that Tohsaka was trying to get rid of the competition, and if possible try to get a saber probably.
“What do you mean, I'm not doing anything other than trying to protect someone.” Saber started to slightly glare at her.
“Hey let’s not fight now, and to you Tohsaka i’ll go see.”
“Alright then let's go to the church.”
The air wasn’t the most friendly, it was tense. I was starting to worry for Emiya, but I got up and was ready to follow them.
-----
We had reached the church, going in, I could see EMIYA and Saber deciding to not go inside.
Inside, the place was dark and had a dark, eerie atmosphere. At the pedestal I could see the back of the priest of this place, Kotomine Kirei. Turning around he looked at us with his blank stare.
“Well~ it is nice to meet you.”
