"Because I have a good impression of you and want to be friends with you, I'm telling you this…Is this reason enough?”
"…You're really a strange man.”
Luo Men smiled without any intention, which made Saber's mood drop.
She could no longer vent her anger. She only felt tired. Ever since she saw this heroic spirit called Luo Men, her mood had changed faster than ever in the past few hours.
After that, Saber regained his composure and didn't say anything else. The group crossed the bridge and went up the hill along the slope. They could see the foreigner cemetery on the slope of the hill.
After passing through the cemetery was the church at the top of the mountain, one of the oldest buildings in Winterwood Town.
"In that case, Luo Men, please wait for us at the entrance.”
Ling said calmly, but his expression was serious.
She didn't want Luo Men to see Yan Feng's polite attitude. Luo Men wasn't a proper Heroic Spirit. If this matter was discovered by the Overseer, Yan Fengqi, it would be very troublesome. However, since Roman wasn't interested in Father Mapo, he stayed with Saber.
In the end, it became a one-on-one relationship between Saber and Roman. The two of them leaned against each other on both sides of the door in silence.
…Knight King, King Arthur, the girl who sacrificed herself to save the country…
Looking at Saber's unwavering face, Roman said,
"Saber, what wish do you have for the Holy Grail?”
Her emerald green eyes glanced at Luo Men, but she was no longer as agitated as before. She had more or less expected Luo Men to say something so strange.
"I don't think that's something you should say to an enemy Servant. Even if you say that you don't want to be my enemy, from my point of view, all the other heroic spirits are enemies.”
"Is that so? However, I feel that it will be very difficult for us to fight based on the current situation.”
Luo Men raised his thumb and pointed at the inside of the church.
"Although my master is a very strong magician, he is not mature enough. It will be difficult for him to attack your master. But I also like this about her. I think if this continues, the two of us will join forces sooner or later.”
“……”
Saber couldn't refute this. Emiya Shiro was a complete layman who knew nothing. If she were to participate in the war, Ling's help would be indispensable, and the cooperation between the two sides was also a good thing for her.
After a moment of silence, Saber said,"
"What about you, Archer? Why are you chasing the Holy Grail?”
"My words are simple. I just want Ling to win. To be precise, it was fine as long as she survived. My wish will be fulfilled by myself. I don't need the Holy Grail to fulfill it.”
"…Impressive loyalty and determination.”
Saber praised Romen and closed his eyes.
Luo Men's honesty made her feel envious.
However, she had her own goal, and she would do anything to achieve it.
"I did it to save my country. This was something that I couldn't do on my own, so I had to rely on the miracle of the Holy Grail.”
Saber's expression was extremely determined. It was completely unlike the expression of a 14-year-old girl. Even though Luo Men knew that her actual age was much older than this, he was still displeased.
She had shouldered too many things on her own. She placed the fate of everyone who followed her and the fate of the country on her shoulders. She felt that if she failed, it was all her fault, so she wanted to redeem herself.
This kind of thinking wasn't only arrogant, it was also quite excessive in Luo Men's eyes.
"Do the people living in your country and those who used to follow you want you to do this?”
"What…?"
"No, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"What are you trying to say, Archer?”
Saber frowned and turned around to look at Roman seriously.
Luo Men glanced at her after letting out a frustrated sigh.
"Humans are not machines. We can't be determined by right or wrong. You said you wanted to save the country, right? Did that mean he wanted to change history? Are all your former companions willing to do this?”
"…Why wouldn't I be willing if I could avoid the destruction of my homeland?”
"Do you think an era can last forever? Or do you think that you don't have to take responsibility for changing history and making yourself non-existent?”
“——”
Saber was stunned. From Luo Men's words, it seemed like he already knew what he wanted to do.
Her goal in pursuing the Holy Grail was to return to the past and change the history of her pulling out the Sword in the Stone. She felt that as long as she did not become the king, that country would become better.
"Listen up, Saber-chan. There was only one life, which was why people could devote themselves to it. If they denied the past and wanted to start over again, it would be treating the lives of everyone involved as a joke. This was an insult to them.”
After saying all that he had been holding back, Roman walked up to Saber and lowered his head to look at her.
"Don't make those who volunteered to serve you regret it, Saber-chan.”
“……”
Saber gritted his teeth and lowered his head, as if he had been forced into a corner.
It was as if everything about her had been seen through by this person. Her contradictions and persistence had been dug out by him and placed in front of her so that she could see it clearly.
Her long-cherished wish had been denied, and her heart was already in a mess. This man was even more abnormal than she had imagined.
"…Who are you?"
"It's Luo Sect. If you can call me by this name in the future, I will be very happy.”
Saber lowered his head with a struggling expression and stopped talking.
At this moment, the doors of the church opened. The relaxed Ling was in stark contrast to the stern scholar.
Ling raised his eyebrows as he looked at Asura and Saber's current state.
"Ah La Luo Men, did you make Saber cry?”
"How could that be? We just talked about some old topics. I'm a womanist, I won't do that kind of thing.”
Luo Men laughed heartily. The scholar looked back and forth at the three of them without knowing the situation. In the end, he obediently shut his mouth.
…This was enough for now. Saber's persistence had lasted for hundreds of years, and it was not something that could be dissolved in a short time. As long as he planted a seed in her heart, it would sprout one day.
After finishing what they wanted to do, the four of them left the mountain feeling refreshed. Saber was the only one who kept his head lowered throughout the journey. He looked very depressed.
However, this kind of depression was forced to wake up when they reached the cemetery halfway up the mountain.
"Hey, are you guys done?"
Her tender voice echoed, sounding as pleasant as a song.
The moon was very bright today, so he could see it clearly. Like a demon in a child's picture book, a petite little girl stood beside the huge opposite sex.
"Berserker!”
Ling said with a pale face. Although this was the first time they had met, the giant that didn't look like a human could only be the Heroic Spirit of a Berserker.
However, Luo Men's gaze was more focused on the innocent white-haired girl. He had just finished his conversation with Saber and wanted to stretch his muscles.
…I really want to see who is stronger, Heracles or not.
