[h2]Saber - Arturia Pendragon[/h2]

It had ended in light. The last time the Servant King Arthur had been summoned, the Holy Grail had been wiped away to prevent the world being consumed by All the Evils of the World.

It was the only right conclusion there could have been.

The Holy Grail was not the answer. It never had been. And her wish...

It had not been the right path, had it?

But this time...

... This time, she had been summoned in the apartment of a teenaged girl. There was no Holy Grail War. She had been able to discern that fact immediately. There was no great threat to the world. And yet, she had been summoned all the same, a fragment of the crown that once sat upon her head used as a catalyst.

It had been difficult for her to understand the circumstances, even with the knowledge imparted to her by the summoning. But the summoning was legitimate, and she was a knight. It was on her honor that she gave her services to one who had contracted her.

Ritsuko... Fujimaru Ritsuko. Strangely, there was something about her that felt so very familiar.

To be summoned in such peaceful times, and yet in the company of an entire city of Servants. It was surreal, to be certain. Arturia Pendragon had never experienced such a feeling... the magical energy was present throughout the city. Not only of the Servants, but this aberrant island was was flush with magical energy. These conditions were not unlike those of the air in Camelot.

But on top of all of this... the King of Knight's new Master was a kind girl, one she felt comfortable serving, even if she still failed to understand why she had been summoned.

But on top of that...

Her Master's cooking. Her Master's cooking was truly amazing. Yes, it was food of great quality in great quantity, exactly as she had desired! While her Master's focus seemed to be Japanese cooking(understandably, given her nationality) she had shown a great command of a variety of dishes during their short time together. The blonde girl-knight had eaten excellently and in large amounts since her summoning.

Another surreal feature of her current summoning was to simply walk in the open air without any attempt to hide her nature. Granted, Arturia felt this made it far easier to protect her Master from potential threats(and indeed, at all times she was prepared for this fact), but her previous two summonings had required her to wear some manner of garment that concealed her nature. Here, she could walk down thre street in full armor, and saw other Servants behaving similarly.

Indeed, her Master had chosen to step out today to buy food. However, they also seemed to have taken a detour to a district that was selling a variety of different outfits...

"Ah?"

Arturia paused for a moment. She would look good in anything...? That was an overstatement, undeniably. Certainly she was not so beautiful as to look good in any outfit, did she? Besides, such concerns were secondary. She was a Knight.

"... I am not so beautiful, Master," she replied, finally. To waste money on buying her beautiful clothing would be wrong. Arturia would not require such things of her Master. As for what she wanted to wear... Truthfully, she had been uncertain how to answer. She paused for a moment.

"As for my clothing... I would prefer things that are easy to move in."

Arturia glanced towards the clothing on display. Surely, she was not suited to such things, was she...?
