The mont the Stellaron was recovered, the contaminated Holy Grail lost its luster and gradually disappeared.
"The Holy Grail... it's gone," Rin murmured.
Archer looked up at the night sky, his body beginning to turn transparent. "It seems the source maintaining our existence has disappeared," he said calmly. Golden particles of light also began to emanate from Saber's body. The farewell ca too quickly.
"It's truly fast..." Saber sighed softly, her gaze finally settling on you. Are they travelers of the stars... If only I could be like them, not bound by destiny, but simply… traveling through the boundless star sea. But she knew this was rely a wish. She was King Arthur, a Heroic Spirit fixed by history.
She first walked to Shirou. "Shirou, thank you. This Holy Grail War made understand many things."
Then, she turned and walked towards you. "Orion." She stopped in front of you, looking up. "These days of fighting side by side have been the most enjoyable experience I've had as a Servant. Your swordsmanship was an eye-opener, and your character is admirable. I'm very glad to have t you."
Golden particles began to spread from her fingertips. "If..." she suddenly reached out and gently took your hand. "If, by chance, we can et again in the future... then, let's practice swords together again." She showed her most brilliant, pure maiden's smile. "Next ti, I will definitely defeat you."
You felt the warmth from your palm. "Okay... I'll wait for that day."
Hearing your reply, Saber's smile beca even brighter. She reluctantly released your hand. "Goodbye, Orion. May your sword always be sharp." Golden light completely enveloped her, and she disappeared into the night wind.
On the other side, Archer was also preparing to leave. "Rin," he said faintly.
"I know, you don't have to say anything," Rin turned her head away, her voice trembling slightly.
Archer was silent for a mont. "Take care of yourself." He then turned to look at Shirou. "Emiya Shirou. Your ideal is foolish, but... don't beco like . Stick to your own path." After speaking, he too dissipated.
Only the four of you remained. "Well then..." you looked at Rin and Shirou. "It's ti for us to say goodbye."
"Leaving so soon?" Rin frowned. "At least stay for breakfast, right?"
"Sorry, we have other things to do," Firefly answered for you.
Rin bit her lip. "Hmph, whatever you want." But the mont she turned, she couldn't help but look back. "Um... Orion. You... you're from space, right?" You nodded. Longing flashed in her eyes. "Nothing, just asking. If… I an if, if one day I can also go to space… can I co find you then?" After saying this, her face instantly turned red. "N-no, that's not what I ant! Don't misunderstand!"
Seeing her flustered explanation, you smiled. "Of course, you can. If it's fated, we'll definitely et again."
Rin was stunned, then showed an awkward smile. "Then, then it's a deal! By then, I'll definitely beco stronger, and then... we'll fight side by side again."
The maiden under the moonlight, with a reluctant yet feigned strong expression, was deeply imprinted in your mory. "Yes, it's a promise."
You eventually left, Rin watching your figures disappear into the night.
