Stray Chapter 76: Girl

"Huh?"

Raising her eyebrows, Xia Ran ignored such an inexplicable phone call, and didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, there are often people who make the wrong call, so it's not bad.

Especially in such an early morning, it's not uncommon for people to be less conscious and to press the wrong number. If the other party's consciousness is more awake, as soon as he hears his voice, he realizes that he made a wrong call...

—and immediately hang up.

It's not impossible, it just seems a little rude, but as a polite person who talks about five things and four beauty, of course he doesn't care about such things.

"I don't know who's calling, but there's nothing wrong with it. We'll follow the previous plan now... Oh, right, saber, don't you know? This is a mobile phone, a portable communication tool."

Putting the phone in her pocket, Xia Ran looked at the knight girl in front of her again, and prepared to continue the previous topic.

But seeing the slightly puzzled expression on Arturia's face, he understood it after a little thought, so he explained.

"It's the same as the phone you understand, but it's more convenient, you can carry it with you, and it has more diverse and powerful functions, basically everything. It's hard to explain to you for a while, but I can help you later. If you buy one, it will be much more convenient to have it..."

"Oh."

Alturia nodded somewhat incomprehensibly. She really doesn't know much about these things, so naturally she can only let the master arrange these things.

—Mobile phone?

—a portable communication tool?

These terms are indeed difficult for her to understand to a certain extent, which makes her somewhat troubled.

Because she was given basic common sense in modern times by the Great Holy Grail when she appeared in the world before, but it was only until 1994. However, the development of modern technology is changing with each passing day, and Xia Ran's world has been more than 20 years since 1994.

So, the world feels very unfamiliar to Saber. Although she can still understand a lot of things, there are more things that she doesn't understand.

I understand many things because basic facilities such as cars, planes, lights and telephones have not been eliminated, and the main way of life has not changed. After all, it has only been twenty years of work, and it is impossible for human beings to develop by leaps and bounds to the stars. The times are gone.

I don't know because of the changes in many details. The rapid advancement of technology makes electronic products move towards miniaturization, such as the popularization of wired telephones and portable communication tools. Naturally, these are things that she has not been able to grasp. Intelligence—

You must know that during the Fourth War, even a professional magician like Tohsaka Tokiomi used a communication device made of gem magic to solve the communication problem. It was already a special magic dress.

If you want to popularize that kind of gemstone device to ordinary people, the cost is very high, or it is impossible to do it at all.

But who would have thought that only ten or twenty years have passed, and the progress of science and technology has brought the era of the global village? And Saber naturally would not have thought that in the current era, magical communication methods similar to magic devices have been completely popularized.

—probably so.

In addition, the space does not provide convenient services in this regard. For example, Saber is like a Servant summoned by the Great Holy Grail, directly giving a basic common sense about the current era of the Master's current world... …

So there are many things she still needs to learn and understand by herself, master and use by herself.

Of course, because there is always a certain foundation, it will not be said that it is really like the return of ancient people to modern times. As long as you are careful, there should be no jokes... Well, it should It won't.

But when it comes to mobile phones, Xia Ran thinks that the problems that Artoria needs to solve are actually more complicated. If you really think about it from a long-term perspective, it is best to directly assign her a real identity. would be better.

Because there is no identity in modern society, it is simply impossible to do anything. When handling real-name business, using long-distance transportation, etc., it is often necessary to provide proof of identity. He also didn't want to use special means to help Saber hide the past every time he encountered such a problem, which would be too troublesome.

Xia Ran thought about it carefully, then shook her head again——

"Forget it, I don't really have anything to say right now. As for other things, I'll talk about it later. Anyway, I'll do it as it should."

About the matter of arranging an identity for saber and solving the problem of black households, the trouble is actually not that troublesome, as long as he is willing, it can always be solved relatively easily...

But the problem is that he is a lazy person. He only has a ten-day rest period after each mission. During this period, he is just a salted fish. He just wants to relax and does not want to do anything. .

Saber still nodded her head in a vague way. She didn't know what Xia Ran was talking about, but she did as the locals do. She didn't know much about this era of the world. It was the best choice to follow the master's arrangement. .

"Let's go, let's go, don't waste time..." Xia Ran beckoned to the knight girl, and was about to take the lead.

"Master, shall we... just go this way?"

Saber glanced at the silver armor on her body. This is her usual outfit. The armor woven through "magic release" looks very metallic and shiny, giving people a heavy and amazing defense. impression.

Of course, the defensive power is amazing. Whether it is physical defense or magic defense, this silver armor has values ​​close to that of a Noble Phantasm, although in a Servant battle, it can only be said to be better than nothing.

But if you don't look at those non-human standard attack and defense values, this level of defense is stronger than any armor, even if an ordinary person wears it on his body, and then he is tried with a bazooka. A shot will not cause any significant damage.

However, since the armor is completely composed of magic power, although the surface has a metallic texture, giving people a thick and sturdy feeling, it has no weight and is very light.

However, in the current situation, whether it is defensive power or light weight, it obviously does not meet the requirements. Although Artoria is uncertain about many things, she also knows that Xia Ran just planned to take her to buy clothes. What, obviously feel that her outfit is not suitable for daily use.

As a result, I just felt that it was not suitable, and now I will take her to the street in a big way, and I don't even plan to use illusion - it is precisely because she does not perceive the fluctuation of magic power that she will ask questions.

"No problem, if you keep on like this, you will definitely have a lot of inconvenience, but if you only do this once or twice, there won't be any problems..." Xia Ran disapproved of her question. "People who don't understand probably think that you are dressed in fancy clothes, and people who think they know very well probably think you are cospy..."

“Cospy?”

"Well, it's hard to explain this to you, anyway, as long as you know there won't be a problem..."

Xia Ran has some headaches, but after thinking about it, he feels that there is no fate's work information in the main world anyway, and his plot impression is also from the world he has experienced before, so he behaves indifferently.

"If you're really worried, you can also remove the magic armor. It's not like you're wearing nothing under the armor..." He made another suggestion.

Saber was silent for a while, and the magical armor on her body suddenly dissipated, turning into a mist and disappearing, revealing a set of light casual clothes she was wearing, a navy blue skirt shirt and tie, plus French European style black coat...

Although the combination is perfect, although the style is a bit outdated, it doesn't feel old-fashioned at the moment, but full of flavor, and it can be seen that the people who picked them have quite good taste.

But even that doesn't change the fact that this whole outfit is men's.

If it is a petite girl who is only about 1.5 meters tall, wearing such a suit, maybe everyone will feel awkward. But Saber did not have such a situation, even if she was wearing men's clothes, she was amazing.

Because her beauty is not the kind of gender-inverted beauty, but her awe-inspiring temperament makes her beauty different from the feeling of ordinary girls. Men's clothes are also very handsome, heroic and heroic. people.

"It was picked for me by Alice Phil, and I have no objection because I think it's easy to move around, and I've always worn men's clothing."

Artoria explained in a low voice.

"Very good, but I'd better change back to girls' attire later. You also said that you are no longer a king, so don't worry about the past. I think it's better for girls to look like girls... …”

Xia Ran didn't say anything more about this, but made a decision without any doubt. She kept Irisviel's memory as a symbol of friendship. This kind of statement is good, but it is only good , Saber is going to come out after all.

"A girl...?"

Saber opened her mouth to say something, but when she got to her mouth, it turned into a sigh, and she muttered uncomfortably.

……

……

"How do you feel?"

After leaving the train and walking out of the station, what they saw in front of them was a commercial area with huge crowds and a lot of traffic.

"It's prosperous, something I've never seen before."

Saber truthfully said what he thought, and then looked around a little depressedly, "But it seems that many people are looking at me. Sure enough, there is something wrong with my clothes?"

From when she was on the train just now, until now, everyone around her was looking at her, which made her feel uneasy.

"How come? Don't think too much, there is no problem with the clothes, it's great!" Xia Ran gave a thumbs up and said decisively, trying to give Saber some confidence.

"Then why don't they look at you?" The knight girl is a little helpless. This is clearly a problem with clothes. If there is no problem, why are everyone just staring at her in men's clothes?

"Of course it's because I used illusion, they can't see me..." Xia Ran replied as a matter of course.

“…”

“…”

Alturia suddenly stopped talking to him.
