Fate/stay night ~French~ セイバールート九日目-00.ks

• page0|&f.scripttitle

 The sounds of the shinais echo.
 The substance of the fight is the same as always.

• page1|

 I attack desperately, while Saber blocks my blows easily and counters with an attack twice as sharp as mine.
 I manage to block it, attack even stronger, and lose[line2]we are repeating the same match over and over.

• page2|

 "Ha[line2]Haa, haa, hah."
 I stand still and breathe deeply.
 Wiping the sweat off my forehead with my arm, I calm my breathing.

• page3|

 "What are you resting for? You would not have given up at this point yesterday. Here, come attack me."

• page4|

 "No[line2]hold on. I need to catch my breath. Let's rest a bit."

• page5|

 "What are you saying? If you will not attack, I will just attack. You do not mind that?"
 Saber stares at her bad student.
 But I cannot move my body to my satisfaction, even if she looks at me that way.

• page6|

 "...Sigh. What has gotten into you, Shirou? You are like a different person from yesterday.
  Your blows that came straight for me were the only thing that amazed me, but I do not feel any power from you this morning."

• page7|

 "...I know that myself, but... I just can't do too well."
 Well, uh, the situation is too different from yesterday.

• page8|

 "Is the heat in your body still present? But it is no good if your performance decreases just because of that. Please cool down a bit and calm your mind."

• page9|

 "[line2]No. Before that, do something about that thing."
 I point to the observer by the wall.

• page10|

 "What? Don't mind me and just continue your training."

• page11|

 "......"
 Tohsaka doesn't understand at all.
 When she's staring at me like that, I can't concentrate on fighting with Saber.

• page12|

 "You are worried about Rin? That proves even more of your lack of training.
 "...I understand. In that case, I will make it so that you will not worry about observers."
 Saber grips her shinai hard.

• page13|

 "Whoa, hold on Saber, my breath isn't[line2]"
 "There is no problem. You should fix such a problem during battle."
 Saber disappears from my view.

• page14|

 "[line2]!"
 The instant I realize this is bad and block my face, Saber's shinai hits me right on my head.

• page15|

 ...And so, the training this morning was severe.
 I wasn't worried about Tohsaka watching after I got knocked out once. As I devoted myself to blocking Saber's blows, it was lunchtime before I knew it.

• page16|

 "But man, Saber really is calm.
  You didn't even twitch your brow during the whole three hours you fought with Shirou. You don't talk much normally, but it's even more true when you're in a battle. It feels like you're a machine or something."

• page17|

 Tohsaka is in a good mood, I think because she saw me getting beat around a lot.
 The two are in the living room, resting.
 As for me, I'm preparing lunch by myself as a punishment for not being serious this morning.
 ...Geez.
 I want to cut corners and finish quickly by making something like white noodles.

• page18|

 "Machine-like...? I see, I have never been conscious of it, but I may be turning off my emotions while I wield the sword. It must be the same even in training."

• page19|

 "Hmm. Could that be in preparation for holding a sword even though you're a girl? Like, not losing in spirit because you're inferior in physique?"

• page20|

 "That is incorrect, Rin. Being calm is part of readiness for battle, but that should be no different for a man or a woman.
  Even you should shut down your emotions during battle. You are the kind who is able to."

• page21|

 "Hm... you're pretty direct. Well, it's true, though.
  But yours is definitely different from mine. I only shut out my generosity. I can't be as objective as you are."

• page22|

 "It seems so. That must be why you are so gorgeous.
  You keep the elegance of a woman even during battle."

• page23|

 "What, is that sarcasm? I can't beat you in gorgeousness. ...I'll admit it since Shirou is way over there, but I was fascinated by your beauty when I first saw you."
 ...No, I can hear you, Tohsaka.

• page24|

 "[line2]You must have been misunderstanding. If my figure looked gorgeous, it must be that my class of Saber looked gorgeous."

• page25|

 "That's not it. I just felt like I've lost as a woman. ...I wouldn't have been so shocked otherwise."

• page26|

 "...I am saying that you are mistaken. I have never thought of myself as a woman, and I have never been treated as one.
  It cannot be true that I am gorgeous."

• page27|

 Saber's comment stops the conversation.
 "[line5]"
 As I use the kitchen knife, I feel irritated by Saber's comment.

• page28|

 "...I've been wondering for a while, but just what does she think she is?"
 I take a big swing at the chicken meat.
 For some reason, I'm getting annoyed.

• page29|

 [line2]I have never thought of myself as a woman

• page30|

 "[line2]Heh. It's none of my business...!"
 I strike hard at the cutting board with my knife.
 But doing so doesn't make me feel even one bit better.

• page31|

 "These are today's task.
  We've got more than yesterday and you seem calmer today, so you should succeed."

• page32|

 I don't know how she brought them here, but Tohsaka brings out about forty lamps.

• page33|

 "I'm going outside. I'll be back in a while, so finish up by then."
 Saying goodbye, Tohsaka leaves the room.

• page34|

 "[line2]Sigh."
 Well.
 Yesterday night was bad, so I should at least succeed at one or two tonight.

• page35|

 "...Phew. Half done, for now."
 It took me one hour to try "strengthening" on about twenty lamps.
 Half of them broke, and the other half showed no change.
 But out of the ones that didn't break, five of them had magical energy successfully channeled into them. All I have to do now is to challenge the twenty that are left, but[line2]

• page36|

 "...... Hold on. Maybe five is enough as a test?"
 It seems like all the lamps are antiques.
 I feel bad about breaking any more of them.

• page37|

 "...Hmm."
 Yeah, I should[line2]
