Chapter Thirteen The Search for Cherry Blossoms(2/2)

"Sirou, you and my magic are in common. Once you use magic, I can feel abnormal. So come out to find you right away."

This immediately means that it must have happened a long time ago.

"Because Shirou did not summon me, I did not come out to meet you, but went to look for Sakura from the other direction."

Hearing my shouts of looking for Sakura, I quietly went to Sakura.

"Saber, thank you."

"No, I couldn't find Sakura either. At night, the city was always shrouded in abnormal magic, which made my originally low perception drop even more."

Saber admitted his failure.

"I was wrong with not notifying Saber Sakura. As long as Saber says hello to me, I can apologize to Saber."

"No, master doesn't need to apologize to me. If you don't talk about this, there are more important things to do now-"

Saber looked up at the top of the roadside roof.

"Come out and serve. If you want to fight, I'll be here to accompany you."

A clear laughter sounded on the roof, flowing towards the ground like a clear spring, turning into a familiar form in the air.

"It's rider..."

The long purple hair is flying, and the master's captured servant is as relaxed as a bird, falling lightly on the ground.

"rider, are you here to attack my master? Or are you going to attack humans?"

Saber took a step forward, holding her invisible sword in his right hand seemed to be able to take out her invisible sword immediately.

Faced with Saber's questioning, rider smiled happily, without any annoyance, but looked at me with interest.

"Hmph, before answering this question, I want to ask, what purpose is your master's family following my master in the middle of the night?"

"I was worried that Sakura came to protect her."

I defended myself and felt my face blushing and feverish.

"Master's family is also my protection. I am worried about it. If Shirou Emiya, you have any ideas, as long as you summon saber, I will have no choice."

"How could I have other ideas? Sakura is my most cherished sister."

Thinking that Saber is next to me, and under the guidance of rider, I could not help but be so excited that I couldn't control my tone.

"I believe Shirou won't do mean things. Rider, please be aware of your language."

At the most critical moment, Saber was standing on my side as always, and I was so moved.

"It turns out that Saber also believes in Shirou Emiya, your character is the only one who is sad."

Rider said strange words, and the corner of his mouth under the mask touched the happy smile of a cat playing with a mouse.

"So, are you here to protect Sakura? Are you going to take Sakura home now?"

I try hard to change the subject.

"No--"

The smile at the corner of the rider's mouth disappeared, and the purple servant lowered his head as if he was making a difficult decision, choosing his own words word by word.

"——Sakura, it was her wish to come to you, and I have no objection to her decision."

"Hey, if Shinji ordered you to protect Sakura, then she would be more suitable for her to be by your side."

I asked rider in confusion.

"Because this is Sakura's decision, she believes you can protect her. Besides, after the defeat, I don't have to worry about you using Sakura to threaten me."

The rider once again stated that he had given up on the fight and would not pose any threat to me and saber.

"rider, we were enemies before, why are you so relieved about me?"

"Because Shirou Emiya, you are too simple, anyone can tell you that you are innocent and upright at a glance."

rider said bluntly.

"Others can hand over the things to you with confidence, or they can betray you without any burden. Saber, I'm right."

Saber, who was standing beside me, nodded in agreement.

"Yes, this is Shirou's strengths and may also be a burden to him."

Saber's voice had a deep feeling.

"That's not something I need to care about. I just need to ask Shirou Emiya to take care of Sakura."

The Servant, who is beautiful in shape, stands in the quiet streets at night, with long purple hair like cherry blossoms hanging down to his legs. He wants to kill my rider many times, put down his hostility and asks me.

"I understand, I will definitely take good care of Sakura."

Although I was once an enemy, rider's trusted look made me unable to refuse. Perhaps as Saber said, such integrity will definitely become a burden to me in the future.

"Remember—please protect her, only you can save her."

After another solemn statement, rider took a few steps back and jumped up and disappeared into the night.

After watching rider leave, Saber clenched his fists and said unwillingly.

"Strangely, rider recovered so quickly. I thought she had attacked humans, but she didn't smell the blood on her."

"Is that so? Does rider have the ability to restore magic from other places."

"It is very likely that rider would not be trusted to give up the Holy Grail if he did not."

Saber said hesitantly.

"I understand, when attacking the Riyutoji Temple, I and Tosaka will be careful."

I nodded to agree with Saber, thinking about another question in my mind.

I always feel that rider has nothing to say.

What is she hiding?

Confused in my heart, I picked up Sakura's light body and walked towards home with Saber.

Saber walked by my side like the most loyal knight, paying attention to his surroundings.

No, saber was originally a knight, the only knight king in the world.

No matter what difficulties we face, as long as we go with Saber, we will definitely win.
