"Rustle rustle rustle …"
Fine raindrops fell from the sky and hit the dense leaves, creating a natural sound unique to the summer night.
It was night time, and the rain and fog were like an illusion, shrouding the entire city in a hazy mist.
"Tap, tap …"
At this moment, a series of unstable footsteps faintly came from the night sky.
Then, after two minutes, accompanied by a "whoosh" sound, a figure appeared from the misty forest.
It was the silhouette of a woman with a graceful figure. She was wearing a dark robe, and her head was covered with a mask that covered half of her face. She looked like the ancient Egyptian temple priest's attire, making her look very mysterious.
The woman staggered, and her body swayed as she moved forward.
However, at this moment, she did not know if she did not have a firm footing, or her body was so tired that she could no longer support her movements, but the woman staggered and fell forward.
The woman closed her eyes and braced herself for the pain.
But in the next moment, a warm chest caught her.
"Midea, I've been waiting for you for so long." An unfamiliar male voice gently rang in her ears.
The woman named Midea raised her head and looked at the man who called her name with her gem-like eyes.
It was an ordinary man with a young face and ordinary clothes. There was nothing special about him.
At this moment, she heard him say again, "Sleep. When you wake up, everything will be fine, Midea. "
Demetrius stared at the man's face quietly for a while. She blinked twice and fell asleep as she was told.
"Who is he … Why does he know my name …"
But before she fell asleep, Midea could not help but think about the current situation with doubts.
…
After some time.
Midea's eyelids trembled slightly, and she woke up from her sleep. In an instant, the pure white ceiling entered Demetrius's sight as she opened her eyes.
Midea turned her head slightly and looked at the room.
It was a small room, about 20 square meters in size. The decoration was simple. There was only a small desk, a wooden chair with a back, and something that looked like a wardrobe.
Midea, who had obtained some knowledge about the modern world, immediately determined that this was the bedroom of a commoner.
After coming to this conclusion, Midea moved her body slightly and forced herself to sit up on the bed.
Only then did she notice that her clothes had been changed. It was not the priest robe she was wearing before. Instead, it was a clean and tidy white bathrobe. As for the clothes she was wearing before. They were neatly folded into a small square. It was placed at the foot of the bed.
"Is it that man …" Midea thought to herself.
"Crack."
Just as she was deep in thought, a soft sound suddenly rang out, attracting Demetrius' attention to the door that was slightly opened. Then the door opened. The figure of the man she had seen before she fainted appeared behind her.
"You're awake." A man holding a glass of water saw Midea lying on the bed and smiled.
"Thank you for saving me." Midea thanked him softly.
"That's what I should do." The Man closed the door behind him and walked to Midea's bedside with the glass of water. He handed it to her and said, "Drink some water first."
"Thank you." Midea took the glass of water with both hands, brought it to her mouth, and took a small sip.
"I finally meet you, Midea." The Man looked at Midea with a gentle face and said.
"… Who are you? How do you know my real name? "Midea's eyes changed slightly. Her expression was full of caution as she looked at the Man and asked.
"My name is Sei Itō. I've been waiting for you, so when you appeared, I knew your name. "The Man, Sei Itō, said with a gentle smile.
"What do you mean?" Midea, who had vaguely guessed something, narrowed her eyes and asked again.
"Long before the Holy Grail War began, I knew you would descend, so I've been looking for you." Sei Itō replied. Midea's expression changed slightly, and she became silent.
"Fortunately, hard work pays off. I've finally found you." Sei Itō, who did not disturb Midea, continued.
"Why are you looking for me?" After a moment of silence, Midea, whose head was slightly lowered, asked in a low voice.
"Because I want you." Sei Itō said.
"You want to become my master." Midea, whose face was in shadow, smirked and said with a disdainful smile.
As a Freedom Color who had just killed a master, she had every reason to believe that Sei Itō had spent so much effort looking for her just to become her master. As for why he knew she would descend before the Holy Grail War began, it could be attributed to the former master falling into his trap. He used a specific Holy Relic as the price to summon her.
"No. Oh. I want to make you my woman. "Sei Itō said softly.
Midea, who did not expect this answer, raised her head in shock. Her eyes flashed as she looked at Sei Itō.
"Why? Since you know my name, then you should also know the legend about me. Aren't you afraid of a vicious woman like me? Aren't you afraid that I'll betray you like the legend said? "Midea said with a trembling voice.
"Of course I know about your legend. However, all I see is your naivety for love, the death of your heart after mourning, and the uneasiness and resistance of a homeless woman." Sei Itō reached out his hand to cover Midea's face. He gently rubbed her face with his thumb as he spoke softly with a smile on his face.
Midea, who felt her heart being hit by a torrent, felt her eyes heat up. Tears of excitement gushed out of her eyes.
Sei Itō's thumb moved slightly. Wiping away Demetrius's tears with his fingertips, he smiled and continued, "As for me, although I'm a playboy and can't devote my feelings to a woman, as long as that woman doesn't choose to betray me, I will never give up on that woman. You can observe this in your life in the future."
"So, Midea, are you willing to become the woman of this fickle man?" Sei Itō asked softly.
Midea's face revealed a hesitant expression.
In her heart, love was actually more inclined towards monogamy. However, as a woman who was born in the feudal era of ancient times, where one man had many women. She was not particularly resistant to sharing the same man with other women. However, because of the emotional pain brought by her first love, Ison, what Midea was most afraid of was the man she loved ignoring her in the end. Just like the legendary Ison, she did not want to experience that kind of pain again.
"Looks like you're still hesitant about me. However, that's fine. We still have time. However, I hope. I hope to get your answer before the end of the Holy Grail War in this world. "Sei Itō said softly as he retracted his palm from Midea's face.
"Thank you." Midea's voice was sincere.
"Alright, you should rest first. Wait until morning. In the morning, we'll sign a servant contract. "Sei Itō said.
After saying that, he smiled at Midea and walked out of the room under her gaze.
"Creak."
The door gently closed and opened.
"Eavesdropping is bad behavior, Medusa." Sei Itō, who came to the corridor, turned his head to look at the empty space in front of him and said with a smile.
After saying that, the air trembled slightly and Medusa's figure appeared from it.
"Please try not to be alone with perverts in the future. That kind of behavior is very dangerous." Medusa warned.
"Don't worry, Medusa. Normal Heroic Spirits can't hurt me. "Sei Itō said without much care.
Medusa was silent. Obviously, she didn't believe Sei Itō's answer.
"Do you want to have a competition?" Sei Itō, who also felt Medusa's attitude, suggested.
"Okay." Medusa, who wanted to know Sei Itō's level, agreed without hesitation.
Following which, the two of them quietly left the villa without alerting anyone else. Using inhuman Movement Speed, they dashed into the distance.
During this process, Medusa, who originally stood proudly among the other Heroic Spirits with her average agility, found out that Sei Itō's movement speed was actually not inferior to hers. For the sake of competition and testing, she increased her speed from time to time. However, to her surprise, no matter how much she increased her movement speed, Sei Itō, who was a human in Medusa's eyes, was able to easily follow behind her. He was relaxed and didn't look like he was struggling at all.
After running like that for more than ten minutes, the two arrived at an empty space.
However, when he saw the scenery around him, Sei Itō couldn't help but smile.
"It seems like I'm really fated with the Not Far River. Every time I want to do something, I'll come here." Sei Itō shook his head slightly and smiled.
"I'm ready. Let's begin, Medusa." Sei Itō looked at Medusa, who had already drawn her weapon, and said.
Whoosh ~
As soon as he finished speaking, Medusa suddenly threw the chain sword in her hand at Sei Itō.
The chain sword flew like a bullet and instantly arrived in front of Sei Itō.
Sei Itō slightly turned his body, raised his hand, and punched the outside of the chain sword. "Clang!" The chain sword immediately bounced off into the distance. Medusa pulled the chain sword back to her hand with one hand and threw the chain sword in her other hand at the same time. Then he stomped on the ground and rushed toward Ito Sei at an extremely fast speed.
Sei Itō dodged the chain sword attack, but in the next moment, Medusa appeared in front of Sei Itō. She reached out her hand and grabbed the chain sword that flew past his ear. Then, she swung her arm and slashed at Sei Itō's head.
Sei Itō raised his arm and blocked Medusa's attack with a "bang". But in the next second, an exaggerated force came from Medusa's arm, and she forcefully slashed the chain sword at Sei Itō's face.
Medusa's defensive skill — Monstrous Strength.
Unable to defend himself, Sei Itō could only stomp his feet and jump back. Immediately after, a chain sword in Medusa's hand flew out and shot straight at him.
Sei Itō's right arm shook slightly, and a crude obsidian dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. He skillfully blocked in front of him.
"Clang!"
The chain sword was instantly knocked away.
But then, the chain sword's appearance changed. It turned from a metal chain into a long, pitch-black arrow. It turned around and bit at Sei Itō.
It was Medusa's magic.
Sei Itō's left hand moved quickly. His fingers moved quickly and made several magic gestures. Then, a fist-sized fireball flew out from his hand and collided with the black snake.
"Boom!"
Dust exploded and covered Sei Itō's figure. Using this opportunity, Sei Itō quickly retreated. But before he could stabilize himself, Medusa suddenly appeared beside him and stabbed her chain sword at him.
Sei Itō used one of his hind legs to forcefully stomp on the ground. Then, with his hind leg as the center, he quickly rotated his body. Medusa, who missed this time, moved one hand to the side and swung the chain sword at him.
At this time, Ito Sei, who had just turned around, did not dare to hesitate. He quickly patted on the back of Medusa's sword, making her palm fall down. At the same time, he raised his left foot and kicked Medusa.
"Bang!"
Medusa, who was hit in the stomach, immediately slid back. Her feet plowed two deep marks on the ground.
This time, Sei Itō was the one who took advantage of the situation. At this moment, he waved his hand, and several streams of light instantly shot toward Medusa, who had yet to come to a stable stop. After that, they exploded with a boom, forming intense flames that burned Medusa.
Sei Itō didn't stop and shot out several streaks of light.
"Boom!"
This time, the explosion was a freezing magic spell.
The pale cold air turned into ice crystals and covered Medusa's body as she crossed her arms in front of her.
However, Sei Itō, who had obtained Medusa's data from Sakura Enaka, understood that Medusa had a Rank B magic resistance and could even ignore the damage from magic spells. Thus, after releasing two waves of magic attacks, Sei Itō immediately used Shrink Ground to rush in front of Medusa. He stretched out his arm and punched at her.
"Bang!"
Medusa, who had her arms in front of her, was once again forced to slide back.
But this time, Sei Itō didn't chase after her. After all, the two of them were only sparring this time to understand each other's strength, not to kill each other. Otherwise, when they took out the obsidian dagger, the Spear of Torahuiska Bontic Utori, they could have launched a sure-hit attack on the Medusa. Why not use it?
Therefore, it was enough for him to reach this point.
