In the quiet auditorium, the silver-white light emitted by the magic circle carved by mercury has not completely disappeared, and only a small breeze blows.

The dust dispersed, and a young figure gradually appeared

"May I ask, are you my [Master]?~"

"Who are you……!?"

Emiya Kiritsugu made a somewhat surprised sound.

"...Girl?"

Irisviel's smile also froze on her face...

Where is the promised heroic spirit? Where is the promised heroic warrior who is two meters tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted? At the worst, he should be a magician with a mysterious temperament, or a masked weirdo with murderous aura, right?

But...what is this cute creature that looks like an eight or nine-year-old girl standing in the magic circle now?!

"Ahem, you two, how about a reaction? Since you have summoned me, everything is a done deal and I can't return it?"

Moreover, this little girl who should be a side servant of the Heroic Spirit seems to be still dissatisfied with the indifferent attitude of Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel, so she started to introduce herself:

"[Servant Saber] is here, which one of you two is my [Master]?"

It was obviously a very serious occasion, but it was broken by a little girl's deliberately pretending to be serious. Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly felt a sense of grievance that he was holding back in his heart and didn't know how to vent it. In the end, he could only remain cold.

With an unshaven face, he said:

"...I am your master, don't you even have the ability to sense the contract?"

Hearing what Emiya Kiritsugu said, the little girl swordsman sighed exaggeratedly and said in disappointment:

"Is that really so? I really hope that my perception is wrong. There is a cold-faced middle-aged man and a beautiful elder sister. Of course I hope that the beautiful elder sister will be his master. Isn't this natural? →_→

"

"knock"

Emiya Kiritsugu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, trembled, and tried his best to hold back the anxiety in his heart.

He felt insulted, but he had no words to reply.

"puff"

Irisviel on the side also trembled all over and turned her head away, but what she held back was an unscrupulous smile.

She felt her husband was insulted, but she couldn't stop smiling.

Emiya Kiritsugu had no choice. At this point, as a rationalist who was committed to efficient use of resources, he could only first confirm the combat power and utilization value of the little girl in front of him.

"Tell me your real name, Saber!" Emiya asked with a cold face.

But the little girl looked very strange and said:

"Huh? It's so obvious, [Master], can't you see it?"

As she spoke, the little girl opened her arms and turned in a circle to show her posture.

He is less than 1.2 meters tall. He is wearing a pure white knight uniform and a shiny silver-white armor skirt. His long, light golden hair is tied into a ponytail with a black bow, showing a bit of heroism. There is a huge hanging on his waist.

The silver-white gold-rimmed scabbard can be used by this little girl as a shield...

Um, no, scabbard?

Emiya Kiritsugu took a closer look. The more he looked at the scabbard, the more familiar it looked. Then he confirmed that although the color was not quite right, blue turned into silver, the style was correct...

"King Arthur...? Arthur Pendragon?!"

Emiya Kiritsugu felt like he was struck by lightning.

"Is it so obvious? It seems that this sword is indeed very famous in history..."

The little girl who looked like King Arthur took off the scabbard on her waist, pulled out a slender and gorgeous knight's sword from it, showed it to the two of them, and then said:

"What about you? [Master], why don't you introduce yourself?"

"…Emiya Kiritsugu."

"Well, Emiya Kiritsugu... remember, from now on, my sword will be with you, my destiny will coexist with you, and the contract is established here.

[Master], do you have any orders?"

"..."

Seeing the little girl in front of him reciting the lines that should have belonged to the knight as if performing a drama, Emiya Kiritsugu, an emotionless killer, felt the discomfort caused by the serious inconsistency in the style of painting.

This left him speechless for a moment.

Perhaps seeing her husband's embarrassment, Irisviel showed a helpless smile, walked forward slowly, came to the little girl's side, leaned down, and said with a smile:

"First meeting, Your Excellency King Arthur, my name is Irisviel von Einzbern, and I am the wife of Mr. Kiritsugu Emiya."

"Well, this is our first meeting, Mrs. Irisviel. You can just call me Saber. Aren't we going to fight the Holy Grail War next? I think we should hide our identities!~"

I feel that no matter whether you hide your identity or not, you are the most conspicuous one... Irisviel couldn't laugh or cry in her heart.

But the little swordsman looked even cuter in this way, making her feel closer to him.

"Well, okay, little Saber, you can just call me Ellie, okay?"

Irisviel couldn't help but hold the little girl's hand and said kindly.

"Well, okay, Mrs. Ellie, I really think it would be better for you to be my [Master]." The little girl said, deliberately glancing in the direction of Emiya Kiritsugu.

And Irisviel quickly explained:

"Ah, little Saber, you have actually misunderstood Kiritsugu. He is just scared by your age. Who would have thought that the world-famous King of Knights is a little girl?"

"Hmm...? Mrs. Ellie, with all due respect, I have just come to this era, but do people in this era have to be tall and tall as adults from birth?"

The little girl looked very dissatisfied and said:

"Whether you are a great man or a commoner, everyone should have a young period of growth, right? And don't look at me like this, I am very strong..."

"Saber..."

Emiya Kiritsugu interrupted the little girl's boasting with a voice. At this time, he finally came out of his meditation and had a plan in his mind.

"Didn't you say that you want Ellie to be your [Master]? I can satisfy you... From now on, you will follow Ellie in spirit form and protect her."

Then Emiya Kiritsugu said to Irisviel:

"Ellie, you take him to see Ahad, tell him that this is the legendary King Arthur, and then ask Ahad to prepare the magic ritual of handing over her magic supply to you."

After saying that, Emiya Kiritsugu turned around and left the auditorium quickly... He wanted to take a quiet moment and think about his future plans.

After Emiya Kiritsugu left, Irisviel seemed to have remembered something. She once again looked at the girl next to her who made her feel very kind and lovely, and asked doubtfully:

"Little Saber, although it's a bit rude, but the legend I heard is that King Arthur has blond hair as bright as the sun and blue eyes like emeralds. Why are your eyes red, little Saber?"
