"I guess we'll just go."
"You're serious?"
"Where to, Richter?"
"Thank you, Saylest. It's in Rose Town."
I hang up the phone.
"But first we're to stop by the overseer, right?"
"No. Let's just go help them. Get this over with."
"I...I am shocked at you."
"What for?"
I turn the car around and start heading for rose town. Glad I wasn't take the south route to the church, or this would be hell.
"This is...quite generous for you to do."
"It's also smart. There's a chance they're fighting Lancer or Rider. In which case, that'll be our chance to end it."
"I highly doubt that, and I do not believe you really considered it."
"No...I didn't. But it's still there as a fact."
"...Saylest, I am proud of your decision."
Servant Relationship+4: LV5(29/35)



---Day 13, 12:00PM---
We were about halfway there when my phone rings. I handed it to Saber.
"...One moment."
Saber presses the phone to her shoulder so the other person can't hear I guess.
"It's Miri and Rider. They're under attack."
I swerved on the road alittle.
"Seriously!?"
"Where are you?"
Saber puts it back into her shoulder.
"Rose Town. It's definitely them."
I try to not swerve off the road entirely.
"T-tell her we're on our way."
"We'll be there shortly. Don't die til we get there."
Saber hangs up on those words.
"Good choice of words."
"Oh I figured as much. Besides, if we intend to keep Berserker alive, they most certainly must die."
"I'm not a fan of having zero privacy around someone."
"Ironic coming from such a lewd person, but granted I know the feeling. More promptly, I do not like his disregard for ownership."
"Can we take them?"
"Oh most easily. How long til we arrive?"
"A few minutes at best. After this it's just Lancer."
"Then you have this and one more day to make up my mind."
"Oh that's fine. I can just make up your mind for you tonight."
"Planning our celebration already? Well I don't mind."




---Day 13, 12:05PM---
We park and hop out of the car. Saber picks me up in her arms and we're soaring through the air now. She sets me down to slap away a knife.
"We're here to help. Find your Captain Richter, he will confirm."
And now we're just standing here waiting...On Richter.

"There he is."
Richter walks up and nods to Saber...while blatantly hugging me.
Okay. Awkward.
Oh...Then again...I guess I did bang his brains out, nearly literally.
"It is good to see you, Saylest."
Saber clears her throat.
"And I am glad for your assistance, Servant."
"Right right. Now where's your fiery little Lieutenant?"
"...Saylest, you do not keep the most loyal of company."
Saber smirks. It's an evil smirk.
"Can we...focus?"
"Of course."


Richter leads us to the fight.
Saber has him call his troops off of Rider and Miri.
"Yo, Rider."
"Yo, Saber. You're late."
"We got here as soon as we could."
"Yo, Saylest. Nice of you to betray us."
"Good to see you too, Rider. Don't worry, it's the last time you'll hear what I have to say."
"Sheesh, but working with Alondite though? That's low. You know they're gonna seal your magic after this, right?"
"They would have to get through me."
"Oh, yeah. About that."
Rider's massive shield unravels and the two threaded massive needles return to his hands.
"Your noble phantasm is pretty nice. I don't think even you can beat me if I use it."
"Where's Miri?"
"She's safe. Didn't want her to get sneak attacked while I dealt with this."
"Ah, that would explain the echo on the phone. She's in a building."
"Yeah, but she's also hidden pretty well, so don't bother looking for her."
"So no trace of her mana?"
"Yup. Not a trace."
Oh that's fine, I don't need to track her mana down to find her. I have other means.
But I won't say that outloud. Rider doesn't need to hear it.
"Tell me, how much have they weakened you."
"Oh they've been stalling ever since Mister Blue Sword showed up."
"So very little?"
"Yeah. Very little."
"So long as you fight me alone, they will not join in."
"You can do that, right Richter?"
"Of course. I am their Captain afterall."
"Until Rudolph finds out..."
I didn't notice Esmere get behind us, but I do notice her voice comes from behind Richter. Her probably put himself between us to make sure she couldn't get me.
I lean into him to whisper.
"They don't know?"
"As far as...everyone else is concerned...Richter agreed to let you go in exchange for giving you the grail."
"They're...okay with that?"
"Why don't you tell her the Rest...Captain?"
There's a lot of bitterness on her tongue.
"I told them that you would give up your magic for me after the war ended. That Saber, as a human, was killed during a raid on a witch's guild. In their mind, both servant and master are useful pawns to use the grail to wipe out all magic in the world at once."
Esmere pulls me in closely.
"Don't. Say. Anything. Otherwise. Here."
"So he talked to you too, huh?"
"Saylest, leave Esmere alone for now. She will sort out her feelings on her own."
"If you don't trust me, why don't you just seduce me?"
"I kind of--"
I was going to say I can't while she's wearing that bracelet, but she lifted up her sleeve slightly, and I can tell she isn't wearing one.
That's...Really nice. I guess I made my point before that if I wanted to seduce her, I would have. She hates me, but she's also atleast trying to put her trust in us alittle.
"Thank you."
"Just...shut up."
I stop whispering and call out to Saber.
"Saber!"
Saber turns around to wave.
"You wanna take this alone?"
"Oh I'd be delighted. Instruct me as you will."
"One question then. Hey Rider!"
"Yo, Saylest. Got a last question for me?"
"Yeah. I was wondering...And hear me out if you've heard this story before. But I recall a pretty good historical Detective. Never one to really engage in a fight thanks to his calm mind. With blonde hair, known for wearing yellow and black."
"A little off, but sure does sound like me."
"Servant Rider, your true name is Resident Pichu!"
Rider flips a needle in his hand.
The command seal flashes above my back and burns alittle.
"Nope."
"...Huh?"
"Do elaborate..."
"I'm not him. I got in a lot of fights. Sure, my mind is all vitrified and calm or whatever...but I still got in tons of fights. I just always acted the same despite that. Sorry, not the guy you thought I was."
"I can't really fault her for that. You were close enough to mistake I suppose."
"Oh yeah. It's not like she really misunderstood me, she's just wrong. But I don't think the Grail will care either way."
Saber makes a fist and opens it a few times.
"Luckily, the penalty is cumulative. It'll take awhile before the effect becomes noteworthy."
"That's funny, because it's basically counteracting most of your natural benefits. Right?"
"I suppose so. Well then, shall we begin?"
Dammit, I screwed up.
