I, the sword in the stone, want to take the knight king

: The True Essence of Magical Girls

Foothills of the Alps, above Einzbern Castle.

Char, who was floating above the sky, looked at the building below that was almost perfectly integrated with the snow mountain with a kind of amazed gaze.

What he had to admit was that this castle was a real work of art.

Standing on the top of the mountain, it is all white and slim. Like a white swan about to spread its wings, it appears in this inaccessible world with an elegant posture.

The beautiful castle is like walking out of a fairy tale.

And here, it is not difficult to understand. Why did Irisviel and Illya who came out of this castle have a pure and innocent temperament like ice and snow.

Born in this land, they are indeed the real “Snow Princesses”.

And the funny thing is.

As if it was destined.

Princesses in fairy tales are often kidnapped by giant dragons.

And at this moment, above the sky of this castle.

There is also an angry “dragon” aiming fiercely at this castle, which is like a fine work of art.

“Full output power mode.”

Char didn’t give Einzbern any chance to counterattack.

Right now, he just wanted to resolve this ridiculous battle as quickly as possible.

And in this case, [Bombardment Magic], which can carry out super-long-range strikes on the enemy, is naturally the best choice.

This altitude of nearly 500 meters is beyond the reach of the magic of the Einzbern family.

It is also an excellent stage for Sakura, who is a magical girl, to show off her skills to the fullest.

“Prepare for shelling.”

Accompanied by a voice that was so cold that it was almost indifferent.

A magical power with a strong destructive aura was bred on the top of the Thunder Light Tomahawk.

This is Shaar’s own power.

——Considering that this might be the last cooperation with Sakura, Xia temporarily decided to make this little girl blow up.

“Didn’t you say that you want to become a real magical girl?”

“Then I’ll let you see what a real magical girl should look like?”

He stated a fact in an emotionless tone.

[The so-called love and hope are only within the range of the magic cannon! 】

And after five seconds.

Accompanied by more and more condensed magic power.

A real golden magic ball, as dazzling as the sun, also appeared in the sky.

This “sun” seems to be bright and warm.

However, when countless destructive beams were released from this “magic sun” and hit the earth——

“boom!”

“boom!”

“boom!”

“…”

Successive explosions rang in Sakura’s ears.

But this time, it never caused any avalanches.

Because under the light that can melt everything, whether it is ice and snow, trees, or solid marble walls…all disappear without a trace, just like water encountering magma.

Sakura, who saw this scene with her own eyes, has fully understood how naive she was once:

The power of heaven and earth may be really terrifying.

But that doesn’t mean it’s out of reach.

For example, this magical sun that seems to be able to dispel everything.

In front of it, the avalanche that seemed to be able to swallow all life in the world just now… is really nothing.

At the same time, it is even more amazing.

Just when Sakura was worried, the target of their operation this time. Will he be in any danger due to the impact of magic power:

“On the left, a little lower.”

“Hit it with a sword, five points will do”

In front of the ruined castle.

Sakura, who obeyed Char’s command, vigorously waved the [Thunder Lightning Sacred Blade] in her hand.

“Ugh—”

The sharp blade passed through the ruins, directly opening a passage more than half a meter wide and more than ten meters long.

A small figure, curled up, hid at the end of the passage.

With the help of the faint light released from the Lightning Sacred Blade, Sakura could see the look of fear on the child’s face.

And a flower pot that she held tightly in her arms.

“Mom… I’m sorry…”

Looking at the blade that was about to be pointed at his nose, the terrified little guy immediately closed his eyes.

“Illya… is going to miss the appointment.”

she thought so.

The flower pot in his hand was hugged even tighter.

…

Ten minutes later.

Outside Einzbern Castle.

Sakura was very relaxed, and lifted the little guy holding the flower pot out of the ruins.

Then, she couldn’t understand the language, and it took her a lot of effort to make this little guy who looked a little cuter than herself understand what the situation was.

Of course, the reason why she was so difficult was because Xia Ya was “making trouble” on the side.

“Tell her her mother is dead.”

“Her father is dying too.”

“She is about to witness with her own eyes how she became an orphan.”

This is what Shaar told Sakura.

he originallyBen’s intention was to frighten this overly cute little girl into crying.

The white-haired loli is very cute.

A white-haired loli who cries out must be cuter.

Char, who is full of bad taste, thought of it as a matter of course.

But Sakura didn’t want to do that.

——After all, it was when she knew Char’s character.

Although it is reliable at critical moments, it will become very unreliable most of the time.

When he is idle, he takes pleasure in teasing people.

And she, who had already been “tricked” by Xia once, didn’t want those “unfortunate” things to happen to Illya again.

so:

“Your mother is dangerous.”

“Your father is also in danger.”

“There’s a good chance that something bad will happen to them.”

“I don’t know whether they can survive this catastrophe.”

“Would you like to go to Fuyuki City with me and see them one last time?”

Sakura took it upon herself to change Char’s words.

From the content point of view, the meanings these words want to express are actually roughly the same as 4.1.

They are all explaining the fact that “Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu are about to die” and the request “I want to take you back to Fuyuki City”.

But if you look at it from an emotional point of view, the words poured out of Xiao Sakura’s mouth are completely different from the malicious words in Shaar’s mouth…

“I do!”

Illya’s eyes lit up instantly after listening to Sakura’s story, showing a very excited look.

And when Shaar saw the smile on Sakura’s face, he understood:

The current Sakura, even without the power of the [Lightning Battle Axe], is already a real magical girl.

[The true meaning of magical girls is not in magic and miracles at all. 】

[It’s about love and hope. 】

【The one who can share love with others and bring hope to others is a real magical girl! 】.
