"Your actual aim must have been to help the girl named Makoto Sakura, right?"
After hiding Rider and her temporary treatment platform back in Phase Space, Saber, who had been wearing a contemplative expression, suddenly broke the silence and spoke straightforwardly.
"Why would you think that?"
I curiously looked at the blonde girl, while she gazed back with her pure, lake-green eyes, her face revealing unwavering confidence in her speculation.
"Rider mentioned your motives, which led me to some thoughts," Saber turned her head to look at the back of Tsuruya, who was about to head to the kitchen to prepare lunch, "Regarding those seemingly whimsical actions, you always explain them as your own interest or curiosity, but I don't think it was by chance that you wanted to help the girl named Makoto Sakura today."
"Yes, it was planned. For certain reasons, I came to know a bit about the girl's experience and felt sympathy—that's all there is to it."
