Fate: Why Don’t You Find Another Savior

It was the earth beneath the eternally unchanging evening sky.

Someone said this to Morgan.

"Let's begin our war."

Then, blood dyed the soil red, and arrows pierced the flowers. Iron hooves trampled the land that grew food, and blood and flesh turned into mud and returned to the food of the land.

...

Morgan opened her eyes from sleep and saw the study of the Suzuki family in front of her.

Servants don't need to sleep. As long as the Master's qualifications are good enough and they can provide stable and sufficient magic power, these high-level servants can continue to fight without sleep.

However, if the Master's ability is insufficient and the Servant cannot obtain a sufficient supply of magic power, they will need to replenish magic power by resting and eating like humans.

Tatsuya Suzuki is a magician who is so good that it's almost a waste.

With his supply of mana, Morgan didn't need sleep.

But she still fell asleep in the study, holding a thick book, and then had a long-lost and slightly distant dream.

This was her first morning as a Servant in the Holy Grail War.

According to the rules of the Holy Grail War, battles are usually fought at night, and daytime is often the time for Masters and Servants to ambush and test each other.

What is my Master doing?

With this question in mind, she came to the living room.

An extremely ordinary morning, an extremely warm scene.

Tatsuya was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen while Sakura stood on a small stool, watching and learning life skills that had nothing to do with magic.

Caren sat on the sofa, watching the morning show on TV. She held the remote control but did not change the channel.

There was some disturbing news on TV for children.

"...The following is a follow-up report on the series of bizarre murders in Fuyuki City. At the scenes of the three murders discovered so far, mysterious patterns that look like magic circles were drawn with the blood of the victims. What is of interest is what the magic circles drawn by the criminals actually mean. Today we have invited someone who is proficient in criminal psychology..."

Serial murders, crime scenes with common characteristics.

No matter which era, history, or world, this kind of thing is inevitable.

Morgan unconsciously folded her arms and looked with indifference at the scholars in the news who were analyzing the so-called possibilities.

"What do you think?" came Tatsuya's voice.

"What exactly happened? No one knows." Morgan did not like this kind of killing that was obviously for pleasure, so she just responded casually.

Tatsuya smiled helplessly. "It is indeed unsafe. Compared with the 'war' carried out at night, which one is more dangerous?"

"What are you worried about?" Morgan heard the hidden worry in his words.

"I'm worried about my own children," Tatsuya answered naturally.

Morgan always inadvertently overlooked that the Master is the father of the two children—even if he is only an adoptive father.

The young man looked to be in his early twenties, but he was bringing up two girls, aged seven and five. Most people would probably question his purpose.

But Morgan wouldn't.

As he spoke, Morgan's eyes fell on the dining table. She was surprised to see that he had placed four bowls of miso soup and four corresponding meals.

"I know that Servants don't need to eat to restore their magic power when they have enough. After all, it's too inefficient." Tatsuya said with a smile. "But since you are here, you are an honored guest after all, so I subconsciously prepared an extra portion when I was cooking. If you think it's redundant, just leave it there. I'll send Sakura and Caren to school later, and then come back to clean it up."

Morgan did not refuse and sat down naturally to have breakfast with Tatsuya and the two children.

During breakfast, Morgan said nothing, silently observing Tatsuya's every move.

During the meal, he kept talking to Sakura and Caren. Sakura would respond to every word obediently, while Kallen would occasionally make some complaints that were beyond her age, which made Tatsuya very embarrassed.

After breakfast, just as Tatsuya said, he would drive Caren to kindergarten and Sakura to elementary school.

Morgan, who could have stayed at home or acted independently, got in the car and followed them around outside, so much so that when she was sending Caren to kindergarten, the childcare teacher thought Morgan was a new mother, and Tatsuya had to explain it to them for a long time.

"There's no need to explain it specially. Isn't it better to just let it go? Or are you still scared of being called my husband?" Morgan leaned against the passenger window and teased Tatsuya, who was driving.

"Are you awake, Morgan?" Tatsuya's mouth twitched.

Privately, he didn't really want to call the other person by her class rank. After all, it was difficult to regard such a rational and cold-blooded magician of the Age of Gods as a berserker in the general sense.

"The Holy Grail War will last no more than two weeks. Even if we win in the end, we will still go our separate ways after obtaining the Holy Grail." Tatsuya reminded her with a smile. "I also plan to continue living in Fuyuki until those two children grow up"

Morgan glanced at Tatsuya calmly. "Where is the Holy Grail... Come to think of it, I haven't asked the Master yet, why do you want to participate in the Holy Grail War, and why do you want to win the Holy Grail?"

"...Is this important?" Tatsuya did not answer immediately.

"After all, those who pursue the Holy Grail are all unhappy people. Would a Master who doesn't look like that kind of person also pursue the Holy Grail?" Morgan said.

Tatsuya nodded. "For example, if you want to reach the swirl of the Root, will you be satisfied?"

"It's better not to tell a lie that can be seen through at a glance," Morgan seemed to be warning, but also seemed to be sighing.

"So what about you? What wish do you want the Holy Grail to fulfill?" Tatsuya asked back.

The moving car was silent for two seconds, and Morgan sneered. "Here's what you did."

Then the discussion about each person making a wish to the Holy Grail ended.

"But—" Tatsuya changed the subject.

"What?"

"As expected, your outfit is still too conspicuous. I suggest you buy some clothes and dress up. Although the Holy Grail War is scheduled to be held at night, as it develops, it is inevitable that people will kill each other blindly, regardless of day or night, and regardless of whether they avoid people or not." Tatsuya gave a suggestion.

"That's a reasonable suggestion. So what kind of clothes do you want to recommend to me?" Morgan accepted the proposal.

"I happen to know a more expensive clothing store, and the owner is an acquaintance of mine, so he won't find your outfit strange." Tatsuya turned the steering wheel to the left, and the car turned into another road.

"Don't worry. Although I don't really want to become a spirit, it is my duty as a Servant to become a spirit when necessary to reduce unnecessary troubles."

Morgan saw through Tatsuya's attempt to avoid options that might cause conflicts with the Servant to prevent her from having any resistance and expressed her comfort.

"That's great."
