"Onii-chan, is that red-haired man really the legendary Alexander the Great?"
The silver-green motorcycle had already left the forest and was slowing down, travelling along a dimly lit street. Miyu sat sideways in her seat, looking up, seemingly still able to see the chariot shining with lightning in the starry sky.
In front of her, Sakatsuki, feeling the cool night wind, laughed softly.
"What's wrong? Does it not seem like him?"
"Well~"
Miyu, now out of her magical outfit and wearing what seemed like a school uniform, blushed slightly and shook her head.
"It's just... it feels so... strange."
"Really?"
Sakatsuki's laughter echoed in the wind.
"The shining stars of history, their originally unrelated paths converge in this small city. They converse through the clash of swords, singing of their lives at banquets, freely pouring out their brief second lives. And we, these small humans bathed under the stars, can stand side by side with them, fight against them... it truly is a strange feeling."
"The night is still young, Miyu."
On this quiet night before the storm, the most special Master of this war spoke his wish to his equally unique Servant, his sister.
"But others are living here. Besides a middle-aged man, there's also a little girl I rescued. Miyu, you should be prepared to make friends."
"Eh?"
Miyu froze, quickly becoming flustered.
"But... I..."
Before Miyu could react, Sakatsuki stepped forward, knocked on the door symbolically, then unlocked the magical lock and pushed the door open.
What greeted him was an extremely enthusiastic strike!
Clang!
The double swords clashed with a kitchen knife infused with dark energy, both shattering. Sakatsuki raised an eyebrow and advanced, watching as the broken swords reformed into a fearsome blade that slashed toward the black knight.
Boom!
The small entryway trembled as the clash sent shockwaves. The giant swords screamed as they cut toward the knight but were blocked by the knight's gauntlets, which squeezed tightly.
Feeling the control of the weapon slowly shifting to the opponent, Sakatsuki stepped forward, released his swords, and didn't care as they fell into the enemy's hands. He charged in, slamming his shoulder into the knight's abdomen.
With the sound of the knight's armour shaking, the black knight staggered back a few steps without even groaning, twisted his waist, and swung his swords at Sakatsuki's neck and chest!
"Stop it, Berserker!"
The man's scolding voice came late, and upon hearing the Master's voice, the black knight's fiery red eyes blazed even brighter, but he finally lowered his hands. The broken swords fell to the ground with a clang and dissipated into magic.
"Onii-chan!"
Only then did Miyu snap out of her daze and hurriedly run to hide behind Sakatsuki, tightly gripping his clothes.
She never imagined her brother was not only so skilled in magic but also capable of facing off against a Servant in close combat, even overpowering them!
Sakatsuki patted Miyu's head, then looked past the black knight toward two figures standing behind him.
On the left, Kariya Matou, with three marks on his hand, and beside him, a shy Sakura Matou.
A year had passed, and the two men, each with a girl they wished to protect, reunited in the entryway.
And the first thing they said upon meeting again was.
"Yo, isn't that Kariya? Been a few days, and you've let yourself go?"
"Get lost!"
