Kayneth, Waver, and Iskandar.
The three of them stood in front of the summoning circle.
"Hmm..." Iskandar looked at Kayneth, who was in the process of summoning a Heroic Spirit. Iskandar looked at the summoning circle thoughtfully. If the summoning succeeded this time, they would summon Attila, the King of the Huns.
Another renowned king.
Unfortunately, they ended up in the same faction! That meant they couldn't have a battle.
He had read the entire "Fate" series, and honestly, he really wanted to have a good fight with the Heroic Spirits from that world. Especially that golden one. He had actually lost to him. Even after using his Noble Phantasm "Ionioi Hetairoi", he still lost! It really made his blood boil!
Buzz——
"Oh! Here it comes!" Rider exclaimed, then he saw a white figure. "Huh? What?"
In the next moment, Rider was taken aback and said to Waver, "Hey kid, are all Saber-class supposed to be female?"
That's right, what was in front of them was not the conqueror they had imagined but a girl with tanned skin, white short hair, and long white veils trailing behind her.
"I don't know, how would I know?" Waver shook his head. "But... maybe... it's true?"
After all, the previous Arthur in the manga was a female. And now, this Attila was also a female.
Of course, there was another possibility, that the summoning had gone wrong, and the one in front of them wasn't Attila.
"Tch," Kayneth's face darkened for a moment, but he still asked, "Servant, state your class and name."
"I... I am Altera, the King of the Huns, the embodiment of destruction!" The female Servant who called herself Altera said. "My class is... Saber. What do you need me to destroy?"
"Altera, not Attila?" Kayneth asked directly.
"Both are fine..." the girl who called herself Altera replied. "But I prefer Altera as the name."
"Alright, then we'll call you Altera," Kayneth said. Just this simple thing would have to do for now. "So, Altera, what is your wish in response to the Holy Grail's summoning?"
Although Rider Iskandar's abilities and Noble Phantasms had already been exposed, he was a powerful Heroic Spirit who didn't care even if they were exposed.
Moreover... this guy had even said recently, "That dark mud... I also want to have a soak in it! If that Heroic Spirit can endure it, there's no reason I can't! I'll use my conqueror's might to conquer all the evil in this world! Hahaha!"
So...
His wish was also clear - to obtain a physical body.
But now, in front of them, they didn't know what Altera's wish was.
"Destruction..." Altera said directly. "Destruction of civilization, destruction of everything... that is my destiny."
"I'm not asking about your destiny; I'm asking about your wish!" Kayneth repeated.
"Wish?" Altera fell silent for a moment and then said, "I... have no wish."
"...Ah, well, I understand," Kayneth said, holding his forehead. Just take it as it is.
These Heroic Spirits were one prouder than the other.
Saying they had no wish might be true.
But—
This made things difficult.
It would be fine if they had a clear wish, but the key was that they didn't!
"No, wait!" Rider suddenly spoke up. "You have no wish? That's not right! You do have a wish!"
"Who are you?" Altera looked at Rider.
"Heh heh, I am Rider Iskandar! Your expression says it all. You definitely have your own wish, so why don't you tell us?" Rider asked.
"I... already said, I, have no wish," Altera said, and a colorful sword appeared in her hand. "Don't do anything unnecessary, Rider. I will destroy you!"
"Haha! Well, let's give it a try then. I also want to see what kind of hero the King of the Huns is!" Rider said, and he swelled up with wind. His modern attire instantly turned into his battle robes as a Heroic Spirit.
"Alright! Everyone calm down!" Kayneth shouted. "Now you're all in the same faction, there's no need to do anything unnecessary like this. And... Altera, right? You wanted to destroy, didn't you? Well, for today, let's take a break, and tomorrow you can fight with the other Heroic Spirits!"
"I understand," Altera said, and her figure dissipated.
Rider sighed, "She's a strange Heroic Spirit..."
"What's the matter, Rider?" Waver asked, somewhat confused.
"Didn't you see?" Rider looked at his Master. "What's going on in that girl's heart? Seriously... why are all these Saber-class girls so awkward?"
...
It was a vast stone chamber, the floor of which was covered in gold. On the gold lay a massive bed, and on that massive bed lay a giant white figure that nearly filled the entire space, making the already enormous chamber feel small.
The white giant had been in this room for fourteen thousand years.
During those fourteen thousand years, she had not taken a single step outside of this room. For her, it was a room where she could only lie down and curl up her body. She couldn't even stand up.
During those fourteen thousand years, she had not slept.
Even in her dormant state, her consciousness remained awake.
"My... wish..." the giant said, and then closed her eyes, looking at her own dream.
...
Einzbern.
"Kiritsugu... how's it going?" Irisviel asked with some concern, looking at Emiya Kiritsugu.
"Don't worry, it's all over now," Emiya Kiritsugu breathed a sigh of relief. "I've already bought a house in the countryside in Japan. There's no need to prepare any luggage here. You can just buy everything you need there. Oh, and I haven't told Illyasviel about this yet, have I? This... matter..."
"Yeah, not yet," Irisviel nodded. "After all, she's still young. When the time comes, we can just tell her we're going on a trip, and I'm sure she'll be delighted."
"I see. Then let's start now!" Emiya Kiritsugu said and began chanting the incantation for summoning a Heroic Spirit.
Soon, with a burst of light, the summoning of the Heroic Spirit was successfully completed.
A red figure told Emiya Kiritsugu that he had made the right bet!
That appearance... yes, this was indeed the Heroic Spirit...
"Servant, A... Archer..." The red figure, who had just wanted to make a cool entrance, opened his eyes and looked at the black-clad man and the white-clad woman in the room, and froze.
What... what was going on here???
