Chapter 35 - First Fight Of The War

In the dark night, where even the birds have stopped their chirping, two figures could be seen walking down a dark alleyway (man does Fuyuki need better civil engineers – concerned citizen 10086). As they walked, soft clinks could be heard coming from their waist and hands, eyes darting everywhere.

"So, Archer, who are you really? Heroic Spirits from the past should not know these many details about modern cities, and most of the Spirits I know of tend to come from the far past..."

Chuckling at her pathetic attempt to pry answers from him, EMIYA could not help but tease her back. "Oh yeah, and did you ask the same thing back then the last time you came here...?"

"No, cause we had to fight some Cthulu-level shit, and had to partner with a gigantic six-eyed, four-armed freak of a giant. Even when I launched Excalibur, it barely dented its tough skin. Man was it a pain..."

As Saver began talking about her experience of the previous Holy Grail War, she failed to notice Archer's eyes slowly shrinking at the shocking news. It was only after she heard two clinking noises that she realised that there was something wrong with Archer. "Archer, what's wrong with you? Why're you so surprised...?"

Rubbing his head, Archer realised that he must've let something out. "Nothing, nothing really Saber. It's just, well, it's quite surprising really. I don't think there're legends that depict giant six-eyed monsters fighting tentacle monsters anywhere. Say, do you know where they come from?"

"No, I do not. But we did promise hIm that we won't speak about it anymore. Huh, why am I stuttering here..."

As Artoria pondered on her weird grammatical error, EMIYA was meanwhile panicking at the revelation.

T-this did not happen back then. There should've been a giant hole in the sky, with black mud pouring down, burning everything in its path, not this! There is not a single legend in this world which depicts white giants with four arms, but there are some in Greece, after the destruction of Sefar–

"Archer, watch out!"

Pew! Pew! Pew!

A barrage of magical lasers shot at them, of which they were dodged and deflected. Peeking out of their hidey holes, Archer and Saber were met with the culprit:

A bombshell of a woman clad in a purple cloak, magic circles floating in the air behind her

"Damn it, it seems that the Caster of this war has arrived, and it seems that she is a powerful one at that..."

Lips curling at the edges, Caster let out a curt laugh. "Ara~ara, look at what we have here:

Two little bunnies, lost on the street–

Hang on a second. Hey you, little girl over there, why don't you join me? I can teach you things better than what you will get from the Holy Grail War~"

Archer and Saber looked at each other in the eye, both reeling at the sudden declaration from the lesbian in front of them:

One in shock from the degradation of morals the other not wanting to be at the bottom

You know what I'm thinking?

Yeah, let's do it!

With a loud war cry, they began their assault on the Caster from the Age of the Gods:

One to preserve her dignity, the other to preserve their morality

"Hey Gadriel, I sense something coming from over there. Let's go and check it out..."
