Chapter 6. The Target

"Trace On."

Judging the concept of creation

Blue energy started to burst out from the young man's palm, blazing and swirling like an uncontrollable wild flame.

Hypothesizing the basic structure

The wild and untamed blue aura paused for a moment as if the time around it stopped, then it resumed and began to expand, extend, taking the shape of a blazing blue pole that soon turned to spear-like flame

Duplicating the composition material

The color of steel began to morph around it, the blueish wispy aura slowly becoming solid such that it could be gripped now. It born from skull of Monster, Great Beast that capable to bring tornadoes and catastrophe with it single roar, a spear that wielded by slayer of men and even Gods

Imitating the skill of its making

Sounds of gears and wheels spin resonated inside Shirou's mind. His Magic began to work at producing the best steel, the best materials that originally were used to become part of this spear. What impossible made into possible with his Magic as the skull of the Great Beast Curruid reproduced and recreated

Sympathizing with the experience of its growth

From the moment it was created, it only has one purpose, to kill, to hunt. It's spear that create from sea demon and thus it purpose has no meaning but to claim the lives of those who oppose it, a cursed weapon that will pierce heart the moment it name declared

Reproducing the accumulated years

Spear that created from skull of the great beast, wielded by Witch who slays men and Gods, then given to the child of Light who has face entire army alone by himself and come out as victorious, a man who has been called Hound of Ulster

Excelling every manufacturing process

It was a Cursed Spear that has bathed in blood of thousands, a spear that devastate army and feared by country, a spear that has claim the lives of brother and son, a spear that will always pierce Heart the moment it name declared regardless of what happened, a spear that has claim it owner life in the end

It was the Cursed Spear Gáe Bolg, Spear of the Cú Chulainn, the Son of Light and apprentice of Scathach the Great Sorceress

And it was also a spear that once has pierce his heart

Just seeing this spear make him unconsciously rubbed his chest. Despite there is no scar anymore in there but he will never forget how it felt when his heart claimed by this spear, only Avalon and Rin Tohsaka pendant that has save him from dead

After observing the spear the moment it created, his eyes wandering to the stopwatch he brought and read the timing

"Five point seventy one seconds." He murmured, his forehead crinkled in thoughtful manner before he frowned at the result

Slow... Too slow... It almost three times longer than Tracing swords

He knew he would having hard time to Trace something that not swords but... Almost three times? That was bad, he need to be faster than this seeing right now his live started to back to dangerous

Shirou let out sigh and crumpled in his position, hand massaging his temple. The last time he create something other than sword it was eight seconds, that was month ago and now the duration only reduced by 0,29 seconds, hardly an improvement

The gray steel and honey golden eyed man tilt his head upward, facing the full moon that shine down upon him and the trees around him

It was eight o'clock in night and right now Shirou is not in his home. He is currently at somewhere that located near building that used to be Sainan's old school building in past.

The reason why he was in here is simple, this place for some reason was avoided by people. He don't know why truthfully, granted this building look creepy, old and seems haunted like those building he watched in horror movie but as far he knew there is no malevolent mana or aura like Fuyuki's Central Park where Angra Mainyu's curse lingering in there. Seriously that place was so bad and the area is full of grudges, and strong negative feelings left over that make people wish to be anywhere but there just by got close to it

He already check on it of course but not to the details, he only circling the building and getting familiar with the place structure. It's not like he don't want to or what but if this place indeed have something that usher people away then it better to leave it be

He is not expert in Boundary Field after all, if he do something careless then there chance the whole building will blown or spreading nasty things to entire city

That doesn't mean he won't leave it just like that of course. Shirou always come to this place four times per week at random days to check on it, to make sure that there won't be anything nasty in there

Meanwhile since this place is isolated and avoided Shirou also use this chance to training his Magecraft to the fullest here, so do his combat skill. He can't always training in home after all, it was risky since there chance Riko or Mikan barging in to his place

Not to mention there chance it could go wrong and his Projection explode

Magus is always walk with the death after all, small mistake can take away their life

"Uaaa Shirou-kun, what is that? That thing seems evil."

Shirou troubled face melted and turned to small smile, he turn around to see his unique friend that watching him and seems cowering at the sight of the demonic spear

"Don't worry Oshizu, it's nothing dangerous." He reassured

The girl briefly floating, yes floating, I shit you not, she floating. She float to him and start to getting closer, her head poking from his shoulder and observingn the spear

"You and I have different opinion of dangerous." Oshizu remarked with cute glare "I can sense something dark from that spear, it's like a cursed or evil thing!"

'Well, Gáe Bolg is Demonic and Cursed spear.' Shirou thought dryly "Well, it is demonic spear."

Oshizu Murasame is not your normal girl. She is a ghost, yes a ghost, one that floating without legs and invisible to many people. Shirou meet the girl six months ago when he practice his Magecraft in his current location. The ghost is come out from the old school when he Trace Durandal as she apparently drawn to the Holy energy and Durandal's nature that capable to produce miracles

At that time apparently there misunderstanding where Shoru instantly tracing Black Keys and several ceremonial swords that normally used to exorcise spirit. Thankfully Oshizu proved to be not malevolent or evil spirit, and after few talk and conversing -which is shocking for the ghost that Shirou seems able to see her without she willing to

Oshizu herself is odd existence to Shirou, if he have to say it, she feels like a Servant, a spirit, however Servant in a way is have physical aspect, meanwhile Oshizu is not entirely like that. She similar like Servant but she doesn't have any physical aspect at all, her body is entirely constructed of mana that have conscious

Very mind-boggling and confusing for Shirou. How does that even work? If Rin is with him he sure she will inspect every inch of Oshizu's "body"

After clearing misunderstanding they become friend. Whenever Shirou come to the old school Oshizu will be there and waiting for him. The ghost apparently seems lonely and seeking someone to talk with, Shirou do not mind at all about that since it's harmless and also make the ghost girl happy

And in a way... Inside his heart, in the deep part... Perhaps it because Oshizu bearing similar appearance to Sakura Matou

Make no mistake, Oshizu did not look like Sakura. Where the latter is beautiful and have aura that look like a flower the former is not, Oshizu appear to be almost like a child with her curiosity and bubbly personality. Her kindness perhaps remind him of her but that's it, other than her blue-violet hair and eyes, nothing part of her that remind him of Sakura

Unlike Haruna Sairenji who...

"D-Demonic spear?" Oshizu squeaked out, her high pitched voice cut Shirou from delving further to his thought

"Well..." Shirou racking his mind and try to find word that would reassure her "This spear despite it origin is used by Cú Chulainn, the Hound of Ulster-"

"Dog?! It used by a dog?!" She shrieked and her panic level seems increase than before

"What? No, err well, he did called-"

"Banish it! Banish it! Banish it! It evil! It evil!"

The ghost float away from the spear, creating distance between them with speed and at same time the demonic spear also flung away from it position as if just kicked by someone

The young man feel sweat dropped from the back of his head as he saw the spear lodged to tree that located ten meters away from him.

'Well... That was the farthest from all her throw.' Shirou noted dully

As a ghost or spirit Oshizu seems capable to interact with physical World to a degree somehow. She able to use telekinesis and sometime there also eerie blue flame that surround her when she depressed

Seriously how she able to do that Shirou doesn't know, he is never learn that much after all and all information he get from Archer's arm is barely coherent save for the weapons and things that related to combat

"You not need to do that Oshizu, it's harmless." Shirou said with sigh as he dismiss the spear. He's being truthful, if it not activated or wielded it is only a spear. Granted it is a spear that can survive blow from nuclear bomb but weapon is a weapon, without wielder it is pretty much harmless

"It belong to dog! It anything but harmless!" Oshizu said indignantly, her eyes glaring at where the spear moment ago

Shirou bewildered face just increased further at the statement "I... Take it you're not dog person huh?"

"No." Oshizu answered, her voice was swift and stiff "No, I'm not."

It was clear by her expression and tone that she don't want to talk about it anymore so Shirou decide to not pry that particular topic and leave it be

"So Shirou-kun!" Oshizu said, a bit louder than usual "Why in this week you only visit once?" She asked

"Well... Right now I'm in a bit complicated situation." He said in unease tone and rubbing the back of his neck

Saying it was complicated is understatement. Seriously, he was only ordinary student -his lifestyle, not himself- but in one day he fought against two alien with superpower and in next day got himself engaged with alien who happen to be daughter of the Emperor of Galaxy

No shit, it is indeed complicated

"Hmm? Complicated?" The ghost girl asked, head tilted slightly "What is it?"

Shirou considering to not tell the ghost girl for a second, however he realize that she is ghost, whose she going to talk into? Beside she already know of his Magecraft, something that no one know other than him

"Hmm... The truth is..."

He begin to explain everything to her. He explain what alien is -apparently Oshizu doesn't know what Alien mean- then continue to Lala's first appearance to his current predicament

The ghost girl by the end left speechless "Wow... That... That was..."

"Strange?" Shirou offered as he sighed "Yeah, I know."

"Well... It's not sounded entirely bad." Oshizu replied, apparently seems trying to cheer the magus "I mean, you going to marry princess Shirou-kun!" She said with smile. Her smile though slowly melted down and she began to float lower "Princess who have real body, real beating heart, warm temperature and can be touched." She murmured in sulking tone

'Oshizu, I'm the one who supposed to be cheered in here.' Shirou yell internally as he sighed "It's okay Oshizu, being ghost is fine and all." He comforted the ghost girl that surrounded by blue flame that not unlike spirit "Beside, I think you are cute, with being transparent and floating around like that." That was true, Oshizu kinda remind him from one of anime that Mikan and Riko watch when they were child, the protagonist is a girl that turned to half ghost after her parent experiment went wrong and she goes around to defeat the bad ghost

Strange, yes he know but it a bit fun to watch

The ghost girl snapped from her sulking at that, then she stare at Shirou who smiled at her gently

Then branch of tree above him snapped and hit him in the head

"Ouch! Oshizu! What the heck?!"

"Y-You not supposed to say that!" Oshizu stuttered with high pitched voice "Y-You not supposed to say that! You're engaged! It's forbidden!"

"Say what? What is forbidden?!"

"That! Shirou-kun! You can't do this to meee!" The ghost girl whined with red face and she harrumphed "Forget it." She huffed "You're nincompoop." She grumbled

Shirou stare at the ghost girl with bewildered face before shaking his head. Women... He never understand them, their mind is already strange enough but their ghost? Enough said

Shirou you bloody moron

"But still.. Alien, living being from outside of our World huh?" Oshizu murmured in astonished voice "I never thought they were real."

"You're a ghost." Shirou spoke with incredulity as he stared at the translucent girl. Her existence itself is already unreal and defying logic! How the hell she not believe in that?!

"Ghost is more normal compared to alien." Oshizu huffed again "I mean, from space? I never thought there other living being than us in there." She muttered "Not just me, I'm sure everyone from this era or mine also think such thing."

'Well... If you put it that way...'

Following Earthling logic and giving their culture, that was true. Ghost existence is more logical and acceptable than alien. In religion and all folklore there never once existence of alien mentioned after all. The existence of things like Asgard or Olympus can't be counted as "alien" since they were bonded to earth in first place despite they located in different realm

"Wait... If there living being from outside the space then..." Oshizu face scrunched to realized expression "Then, those that staying in old school is real alien?"

"What?" Shirou asked, it was his turn to be shocked this time "Alien? Oshizu, what are you talking about?"

"Well... In last two years there few strange creature coming to the old school." Oshizu started "There one that look like wolfman, giant octopus, fishman, something that wrapped by countless bandage, giant with one eye and the other." She informed "They were coming one by one, and soon their number grew. They talking about how living in this planet is hard and how their home stars have been downsized."

Shirou feel cold ice dropped to his stomach

Alien... Not just one but many of them. Living in this city for two years and has done God know what in that school.

"And you... Never thought to mention this to me?" He asked after finally manage to found his voice again

"No." Oshizu said "I mean they didn't do anything in there. They gone in morning and back at evening while bringing food. They often eat alone or together and..." She paused and look a bit hesitate "And... They look... Sad." She added

Shirou blinked, once, twice "They look what?"

"Not their expression. I mean, they look sad, the way they living." Oshizu explained "So I think it best to leave them alone until they solve their problem and leave." She then lower her face and mumbled "Though it has been two years and they only getting noisier."

Shirou stared at the ghost girl, then his eyes darted to the old school, then shifted back to Oshizu. What the heck? No, seriously what the heck? They're alien right? So why the heck from Oshizu's description they sounds like bunch of neet and unemployed people?

"I should check them." He murmured

Ghost is one thing, especially if it like Oshizu, she is anything but malevolent after all. However alien is matter that different on another level. Too many unknown and mystery, at least he should check on them to see how they living with his own eyes directly

'But if I go now...' He look to his watch and noted that it was close to nine, it already quite late, if something happen then he would go back more late and thus making Mikan and Riko worried about him "Oshizu, tomorrow I will check on this building, can you accompany me?"

"Huh? Why?" Oshizu asked back "I mean, it's an old building, you won't find anything there."

"I want to check on those alien." Shirou answered "I just want to see what they doing with my own eyes."

"Is that so?" The ghost hummed with thoughtful face "Okay then, I will take you to look around. When you going to come?"

"Probably around seven."

"Sure! Seven o'clock in night then!"

Shirou nodded with smile, glad that Oshizu willing to accompany him "Well then, it's already quite late, I guess I will see you tomorrow then."

"Yes, see you tomorrow." Oshizu smiled and waving her sleeved hand

Shirou nodded to her before turned and walk away, giving one last wave to the ghost girl who smiled beautifully at him

Now... What reason should he gave to Mikan, Riko and Lala so he can go out alone tomorrow?

Meanwhile high above from Earth, Outer Space, Devilukean ship

"How's your feeling Maul?" Zastin asked

The red skinned Devilukean in response whipped his fist to inhumane angle, smashing a dummy that set in the room not far from him and send it to the wall, snapping it into two and fell to the floor

"I'm not fully recovered, there still part of my joint that stiff and but..." Maul said as he flex his fingers "It far more than enough to keep me down." He finished as he roll his shoulder, creating noise by doing that

"Well, I guess it can't be helped." Zastin let out small sigh. Maul injury while not fatal but still dangerous. He got directly hit in neck, chest and hip, and all of them was broken. If it not because his elastic body he would be death any moment

"I will be more worry about Smutts though. He been sulking lately."

Zastin snorted at that. Smutts taking his lose very badly. Obviously because he got beaten from surprise rather than fair fight, and what worse is it only take three hits to bring him down and Shirou Emiya not having hard time doing that

His pride bruised badly, as one of Lala's personal bodyguard to be taken down with only few attacks, and also got his guard caught off like that... Yeah, it's safe to say that Smutts right now sulking in his room

"If there would be rematch I'm sure Smutts will be the first one who want to fight Emiya-sama." Maul chuckled

"Well I afraid that won't come for a while." Zastin said "With his current situation, Shirou-sama cannot be harmed, he need to be in prime condition to fend off Lala-sama ex-suitor that soon will come." If the boy can't defend himself from those that after his or lady Lala's life due to injuries that caused by them it will be their heads that got chopped by Emperor Gid "Well I only came here to see how you doing and seeing you're fine I will be back to my office."

The gray haired Deviluke says that and turn to his back to leave, his subordinate give respectful bow to him

As he walk back to his place Zastin can't help but pondering about the boy in question, Shirou Yuuki Emiya or Shirou Emiya in short.

Truthfully the young man first impression to him is quite good. From beating Maut and Smutts to the way he talk with him. He was sharp alright, not the smartest person he would say but he is sharp nonetheless. The young man seems know already what kind of mess he got pulled into just by reading the situation around him briefly and seems taking them seriously

Briefly his mind wonder to few days ago, his conversation with Maul about the boy just after he given the news about his engagement to lady Lala

"Speaking about him, you have yet to tell me fully about Shirou-sama's fighting ability." Zastin said as he walk to nearby chair and relax himself in there

That was true, last night Maul and Smutts was instantly treated and their report is barely give anything important about him, other than someone manage to beat them and seems mistaking them to kidnapping her and now protecting lady Lala

In fact Zastin only able to track Shirou Emiya because tracker that planted on Peke secretly -it already removed by now, Lala-sama obviously notice it- and using that he manage to analyze the robot movement, where she stop for the longest ever since she came to Earth, and he found it was Shirou Emiya house.

"You only said he is swordman." Zastin continued, his voice taking interested tone "Please tell me more, how good is he?"

Defeating Maul and Smutts even if only by a luck is not something that ordinary, Shirou-sama obviously have some skill, Zastin will give him that but he curious just how strong he is, especially since he also using sword

His interest has none connection with his wish to take apprentice and teach him the way of sword, especially said apprentice will be husband of lady Lala, nope, not at all. Whoever said that is a liar that soon would meet his blade

"He is... Unorthodox if I must say." Maul said after short pause "He wield dual short swords but at same time he also uses long and slim one."

"Long and slim one?" Zastin murmured, his eyes then narrowed slightly "Is it like the one she wield?"

"She?" Maul blinked, then her eyes widened in small margin as he realize who Zastin talking about "Yes, yes. Judging by their basic stance that similar, I believe so." He nodded

"I see..." Zastin face marred by slight scowl. Just remembering that woman is enough to bring unpleasant feeling but he brush the thought away, now is not time to think such thing "How good is he?"

"He able to deliver three strikes at same time."

The devilukean swordman blinked, once, twice "Three strikes at same time? You mean like... One swing but the result that come out is three?"

"Yes, but I think the details is not that simple." Maul shook his head while rubbing his neck where the sword nailed him "The attacks not just come from one direction, but three, and all of them contain equal power. It's not like something that give multiple strikes with single move, no, it more like three moves become one but still produce three result."

"... That quite complicated..." Zastin muttered, and indeed it was. While the result is not something that very amazing -he has seen stronger thing- but the way it come out is not simple "Could it be... Dimensional Attack?" He questioned in low voice

Dimensional Attack is something that affected the World in a way and their surrounding, to do such thing by any mean is not simple or easy, it was proof that you manage to breakthrough the rule and law of physic, something that absurd and only can be done by extraordinary individual

"Now I also want to spar with Shirou-sama." Zastin whispered with small smile, his shoulders shaking slightly in excitement at the idea "He is that good with sword huh?"

"... I don't know truthfully." Maul remarked, making the gray haired devilukean turn to him "Zastin-sama, if Emiya-sama is that good then the battle wouldn't go like before. It will be different one. True he use that sword to knock out Smutts but when facing me he use two swords and he didn't look hesitate or holding back when using them."

"Ah yes, the two swords..." Zastin hummed. That was technically true, if Shirou-sama is good using that longsword then why he still use other swords? "What they looks like?"

"They're twin actually, identical save for the color, the other white while the other black. They're also quite short but at same time longer than dagger. It's uncommon one."

Which is true, they never seen sword with design like that. No, morelike the had but it the sword is uncommon and rarely used, they did not give thought to call it with different title other than sword

"And how he fight?" Zastin asked again

"Like I said, unorthodox." Maul said again "And very confusing."

"Confusing?"

"Yes, the way Emiya-sama move is strange. There is many opening in his stance, however I did not manage to land hit to those opening." Maul explained "Not even once." He added

"... Style that have too many opening but you can't hit them?" Zastin murmured, the idea itself is sounded ridiculous in his mind

"And then there his swords as well. Zastin-sama just so you know, all his swords is not brought, I don't know how but he able to pull them out of nowhere."

"Really?" Zastin inquired

"Yes, and..." Maul paused and try to recall what else happened during that night "And swords is not the only thing, he also shoot arrow to us, which mean he also able to produce bow." His eyes then narrowed slightly "And the speed of his projectile also rivaling our own gun."

"Fascinating." Zastin murmured "Our data about Earth still not complete and I only contact local government but such ability is unheard of." He said. Compared to Deviluke, Earth is very primitive and their technologies is not even able to touch their level however what make Earth is salvageable in their eyes is their gene is quite malleable

In a way it like gene of Royal Deviluke, compatible and always bring new power to their descendant when they mixed with another, something that Zastin found to be quite information after he digging Deviluke research about Earth

What make it bad is that apparently Earthling Gene is the one that very dominant somehow. Until now all children of aliens have with Human show that they take appearance of Human instead of them, and while it's true that was not bad thing but the same time they also inherit their weakness

Human are weak... True they are not the weakest race but they still weak nonetheless and it apparently also given to their descendant, weakening their children far more than they blessed by their power

There once was an idea, trying to mix Royal Deviluke Gene to Human's and see how they would react to each other. Considering both gene is malleable and compatible, the idea seems interesting. But apparently Gid doesn't find the idea to be worthy his attention and in his eyes the Earth is primitive and weak planet that can reduced to ash only in few days if he want to. Or single day if he come there personally and decide to kick it in the core

And thanks to that the data about Earth is not much, they were considered as one of many that owned by Deviluke but their existence is not entirely important, like a single tree among forest

'But here we are now.' Zastin held back sigh at their situation as he broken out from his memory 'Who would expect that Earthling will be the one that inherit the Galaxy?' He asked to no one 'That doesn't matter though, what matter is Lala-sama happy and Gid-sama also seems interested on him. And judging by his ability... Could it be that Shirou-sama is descendant of another race?' He thought

A blood test might be necessary to know more about him. It's not like he being suspicious or what, this is just normal procedure, a healthy check up to make sure the heir of Milky Way is fine and did not carry something strange within him

'Yes, I will do that and perhaps it will be better to do this discreetly first.' It's not like he doesn't want to ask Shirou, he sure the young man will give some explanation but it better to have information first. Who know if it was sensitive and he will make the boy feel uncomfortable if he press the issue suddenly

"Zastin-sama!"

It was then sounds of door slided open and broke Zastin from his stupor. He and Maul turned and see Smutts barging in "Yes? What is it Smutts?"

The green alien took one deep breath, he look quite serious "Our radar caught some ship entering Earth's atmosphere."

That make the gray haired knight tensed as he unconsciously stood up from his seat

"Is there some kind of symbol or anything that can identify the owner of the ship?" He asked

"No, they are completely unknown."

Zastin clicked his tongue, he have a guess who they are and it not like it hard to guess seeing what currently happen but... To think only few days and one of lady Lala fiancé's candidate already here

"Send drone and tracker down there! Make sure it was one of fiancé candidate and not assassin that targeting her!" He barked order to his men

Originally the idea was to leave lady Lala in hand of Shirou Emiya while they observe from far and not doing anything. This is suggestion from the Emperor Gid himself who want to see Shirou's capability and strength however there suggestion come from his wife, Sephie Michaela Deviluke, Lala's mother that such thing won't be a good idea because that also can be used as a chance to assassinate Lala, who know there could be remnant of Old Deviluke still lurking around and waiting to enact their revenge

And IF Lala died, let just say Emperor of the Galaxy will sleep in couch for the rest of his life and also going to loss what make him father in first place

Facing such threat Gid decide to accept the idea and tell them to keep an eye of Lala and Shirou more closer than original and if there is assassin plan to target Lala's life then they told to cooperated with Shirou Emiya despite they only should observing him

'Let's see how you handle this situation, Shirou-sama.'

"Shirooouuuuuu! Got you!"

The red-white haired young man actually have to hold his ground to prevent himself from falling when the pink blur with melodic voice slammed to him like a missile found it target

"Lala." Shirou called aloud as he balance himself to not fall "Don't run at me like that." He chided with small scowl

"Ehh but it's fun." Lala pouted as she hug the young man from behind, unconsciously pressing her asset to his back "I mean, it feels nice to hug you like this!"

The heterochromatic eyed boy narrowed his eyebrow "Nice?"

"Yeah." Lala beamed "Whenever I did this I feel warm on the inside." She touch her middle chest with affectionate look

Well... That... That was blunt alright. And he doesn't know how to respond to such blatant confession. If it was in house or private place perhaps he would know what to say to her but...

"Aww that was so sweet!" One girl gushed with longing look

"I know! I know! It's look like in soap opera!" Another girl responded with matching voice and expression

"God damn you Emiya!" A male student cursed aloud

"May your soul got swallowed to the deep of abyss!"

"Lucky asshole!"

Problem is, they're not in private area, they are in public, in school to be precise, under the watching eyes of dozens students

'Alright, alright, think Shirou, think. What should I say to defuse this situation?' His mind frantically searching for good words to make Lala and him not look bad in front of other "I'm... Flattered Lala but.." He put apologetic face "Can you.. Pull back a bit? People are staring and it started to getting uncomfortable."

The pink haired princess blinked her eyes once before she flash him smile "Okay." She remove her hug from him

"Thank you." Shirou said with sigh

"Do you already have lunch Shirou? Let's have lunch together."

"Well, I already ate some sandwich from canteen this morning so I'm not too hungry now." Shirou informed "You can go eat by yourself, I also have some business to take care."

"That's no fun, I want to eat together with Shirou." Lala pouted "And what business you have?"

"I want to check on vacuum cleaner in janitor office, Hyoudou-san -the janitor- said it broke and he want me to see it."

The Deviluke tilt her head and show wonder expression "Vacuum cleaner? Like the one in house?"

"Yes."

"And you can fix it? Wow, you can do engineering Shirou?"

"I won't say I'm expert but yes, I do can fix some machine."

"Liar! You responsible for fixing the whole broken things in this school!"

Shirou and Lala turned and see Riko approach them from distance, the orange haired girl have exasperated expression

"Riko! Hello!" Lala greeted cheerfully

"Hello Riko." Shirou also greeted

"Shirou, Lala." Riko smiled at them "Lala, Shirou is always like that, when at lunch time he gone wandering around and look to things that broken so he can fix them."

"Really? Why?" Lala asked curiously

"No particular reason." Shirou waved his hand "I just do that to help the janitor and staff here."

"You help them just like that?" Lala look at Shirou with marvel expression "You're so kind Shirou!"

"And thanks to that the staff around here become lazy and too dependent on him." Riko deadpanned "Every time there something that not working Shirou here will be the first person they asked instead calling proper engineer."

Shirou let out small laugh at that. In beginning it wasn't like that actually, the school doesn't want to trouble or asking help from him, however he insist to them that he was more than willing to fix things for them. After several argument and he always help them despite not asked, the school relented and allow Shirou to become their unofficial janitor

He didn't get anything in return of course, that was to be expected. However apparently that kind of behavior attract few teacher attention, those teacher saw his deed as a noble and honorable, so sometime they give Shirou leniency and a bit lax to him.

For example there was time when he forgot his homework, the teacher told him that he can give it tomorrow or in their next meeting instead. There was also time that he came too late with Riko due to the latter awake got overslept and the gate of school got closed, the security guard though open it for them without reporting their late attendance to teacher

"Anyway, Lala why don't you come and eat with me?" Riko offered as she raise her own lunch box "Let Shirou do his own thing."

"Mmm,, okay!" Lala said after moment of considering "See you in class later then Shirou!"

"Yeah, see you in class." Shirou smiled, he shoot grateful look to Riko as well who give nod to him

Then the trio begin to take different path, Shirou alone goes to the janitor office while Lala with Riko to the cafeteria

Unbeknownst to the alien and magus, the orange haired girl face briefly turned around and her eyes meet with certain trio who watching while hiding in the corridor. She give nod and thumb up to their direction before ushering Lala to walk faster

"She manage to separate them. Good job Riko." Mio complimented from afar while adjusting her glasses with smirk

"Riko-chan is kinda klutz but you can rely on her when the time come." Risa commented with grin

"That she is, that she is." Mio agreed while nodding before turned to Haruna who looked nervous "Now he is alone, this is your chance Haruna!"

"I... I don't thinkt it's a good idea." Haruna said in nervous voice "I mean, Emiya-kun will be busy so..."

"He always busy when lunch break." Mio rolled her eyes in exasperation "Always goes here and there, and sometime he forget to eat because of that." Seriously that guy really need to take a rest, he always make himself hungry like that "He probably won't eat lunch again, that would be bad for his health!"

"That's true but..."

"Oh come on, you agree to this plan in beginning." Risa said with stink eye "You even made lunch for him!"

The blue-violet haired girl face flushed, she pressed the boxes she bring to her back, hiding them as if they were something that embarrassing

"This is your chance, you can spend time with him when he fix whatever thing that broke!" Mio said while grasping her friend shoulder "Or better! You feed him while he fix that thing! He can't eat while fixing at same time after all!"

"Good idea Mio!" Risa grinned

Haruna sputtered at her friends, the image of her feeding Emiya-kun crossed to her brain and her sputter turned to small squawk. It wasn't unpleasant image, as matter of fact just thinking such thing make her chest warm and her heart beating faster

"Now, go! Go catch him before he gone!" Mio pushed her friend and make her walk "You can't let this chance to gone just like that!"

"W-Wha! Mio! Don't push me like that!"

"Hey you three there."

The three girl tensed when heard firm and stern voice calling over them, they spun around and see there teacher approaching them

"Ah, Sasuga-sensei." Haruna said

The handsome teacher give nod to the trio, his eyes locked to each girls for moment "Hello Sairenji-san, Sawada-san and Momioka-san."

"Sensei." Mio greeted with small smile "What's up?"

"You three moment ago talking about Emiya-kun right?" Sasuga asked, his eyes narrowed slightly

"E-Emiya-kun?" Risa tilt her head, putting innocent face "No, we not talking about Emiya-kun."

"Don't lie Momioka-san, I heard you three very clear, you're not as quite as you thought." Sasuga replied with strict look, making the busty girl grimaced "You three... What did you three planning to him? Emiya-kun already had enough in his hands, if you three trying something..."

"What? No!" Mio cried out with frantic face "We did not plan to harm Emiya-kun or something like that!"

"Really?" The teacher of tennis club did not look bought what she said "Then what are you three doing talking suspiciously about him in here like this?"

The trio squirmed as their teacher giving them look. It wasn't secret that the staff of the school favor the fake janitor, without doubt it is because what he always done to this school. From repairing machine to helping teacher that needed, true there few teacher who neutral and didn't care but most of them did

"We... We just want to give Emiya-kun lunch." Haruna confessed, she realize immediately that if they say something wrong then it will be trip to teacher office for them "Emiya-kun often fixing things and help the janitor at lunch break thus he doesn't get eat much, so we decide to made something for him."

Sasuga blinked once "Is that so?" He asked, his gaze lingering to Risa and Mio who nodded quickly. Seeing this the strict expression broke into smile "Well that's good then. It's nice to hear Emiya-kun have friend who care for his well-being."

The trio let out sigh of relieve, apparently they manage to avoid bullet

"So who made that? Was it your three or..."

"Oh it's Haruna here." Risa smirked in teasing manner as she slung her arm over Haruna shoulder "She made cute and lovely bento for our beloved fake janitor."

"R-Risa!" Haruna squawked, face become red. Why she said that in front of teacher?!

"Is that so?" Sagusa seems amused as he looked at Haruna who have her face become redder at the attention "You tow must be very close then, to made lunch for him."

"N-Not really." Haruna stuttered "W-We are just friend. There's nothing special between us."

"Yet." Risa added

"Risa!"

Sagusa let out laugh at the girls interaction, it was amused to watch he must say "Well, good luck then Sairenji-san. I suggest you go fast, only half hour left before lunch break over." He said "I will keep this secret though." He added with wink

"S-Sensei!"

"Sagusa-sensei right Haruna, quick leave now! We will see from far until you manage to catch up with him!" Mio said as she pushed her friend again

"Mio! Don't push me!"

"Yes, yes, now start walking!"

"See ya later sensei!" Risa said as she start to walk

"G-Good day sensei!"

"Have a nice day Sagusa-sensei."

"Good luck girls." Sagusa chuckled as he watch the trio leaving with gentle smile

The smile though slowly gone, turned to leer that unfitting for someone with his face, his eyes that kind and warm hold ominous gleam as he stare at the purplette back that pushed by her friend

"You going to need a luck." He stated to no one with sneer "Trust me, you will."

"So how is it Emiya-kun?"

"Hmm, it already done." Shirou said as he stood up and brush the dirt in his pants "Why don't you try it first?"

The janitor took the vacuum cleaner, he connect the wire and turn on the machine and it let out voice before started to work "Ohh, it fixed." He said in awe "This thing look bad and even have smoke come out from it! To think it can work again..."

"Well, there problem with the electric motor part, one of cable got damaged." Shirou informed "I already use some tape to connect it, it's not permanent solution and will broke down again later but it will work for few days or a week at most." He explained "I also clean the fan, apparently there one big dirt that stack in there. I suggest you go to the principal and ask for replacement Hyoudou-san."

"Right, right." Hyoudou nodded while tapping the vacuum cleaner "I will go to principal office after this and ask for the new one. We still have plenty though but buying extra won't bring any harm just in case." He give the boy small grin "You did it again, maaa, thanks a lot Emiya, you fix so many things. It almost like I didn't do anything in this school ever since you come here, I kinda feel bad to you."

"It's fine Hyoudou-san." Shirou said nonchalantly "It's not like I did anything special, I just glad I able to help."

"Not did anything special you say, seriously." Hyoudou rolled his eyes "Emiya, ever since you came here I able to get some slack. Do you know how troublesome that principal is? Me and my boys having hard time to handle mess he cause. Seriously, the staff was very close to give up if it about his perverted behavior. Make me wonder how the hell he still able to keep his job."

Shirou only let out unease laugh at that. Truthfully he also wonder about the same thing. The man perverted behavior and attitude sometime was too much. How he still able to stay as principal is beyond his comprehension

"Anyway, thanks a lot Emiya." Hyoudou said "I will pay you back for this one day, I promise."

"No need for that, I help because I want to Hyoudou-san."

"Don't be like that. Maaan, I swear you're almost like a saint or some kind of Angel you know?" Hyoudou shake his head in exasperation "Oh by the way, Emiya can you..." He make random gesture with his hand and put strained face

Shirou immediately understand what he tried to say and he give the janitor nod "I won't tell anyone that I fix the vacuum cleaner for you."

"Thanks Emiya." Hyoudou beamed "It's not like I want to take credit from your job, you know I can fix things myself but not at your level so..."

"I understand, not need to worry Hyoudou-san." Shirou reassured "Though my sister is already know, I kinda tell her that I got asked by you to check the vacuum cleaner before."

"Riko-chan? Ah, it's fine if it her, she can keep secret." Hyoudou waved his hand in uncaring manner "You're really like a saint aren't you Emiya? Damn, if only my daughter at your age, I will be more than happy to have you as son-in-law."

"Ahaha..." Shirou doesn't know how to respond that so he only let out strained laugh. Seriously, what should he say about that?

"Speaking about son-in-law I heard you got yourself engaged." Hyoudou commented "And pretty one to boot. I already see her by myself. Maaan, congratulation Emiya. You deserve it." He give the boy pat on the back

"Ah... Thank you Hyoudou-san but it actually not what you think." He said as his mind briefly drifted to the alien princess

"Huh?" Hyoudou blinked "What? What are you talking about?"

"Our engagement... I... I did not mean to be rude but... Truthfully I never agree on it." Shirou told him, he seems a bit hesitated

"What? Why?" Hyoudou sounded genuinely confused "Did... Lala? That's the name right? Did Lala is not good enough? I mean she is pretty enough, the most beautiful girl in school dare I say." He said, his eyebrow quirked a bit "Is it her personality?"

"No, nothing like that. Lala is kind and good girl, she is pretty much like a child, innocent." Shirou smiled "In fact, I can imagine how she would be like in future." Judging by her personality it will be mixture of Taiga and Illya perhaps. She is clingy annd cheerful like them, but at same time she also not stupid -that part come from Illya actually- she can be sharp when things come down

"Then what's the problem?"

"... I guess it would be me..." Shirou muttered, his eyes become dazed as face of certain purple haired girl with red ribbon flashed to his mind. His heart tightened and he feel invisible pain in there but at same time he also feel warm and joy.

It was feeling that absurd and make no sense at all, how can he feel so much pain but also so much joy at same time just by remembering one person?

"... You love someone else."

Shirou blinked, once and he turned to Hyoudou and look shocked "Wha?"

"I know damn well that look Emiya. You love somebody else don't you?" Hyoudou chuckled "I know that because I have same look you know? I also in your position in past."

"You were?" Shirou asked with surprise

"Yeah, I'm thirty one old Emiya, I have daughter and wife. However before that I also love someone else." Hyoudou said "My wife and I, we did not marry because we love each other, it was decision from our family."

"Ah..." Shirou didn't need to say anything else, he perfectly know what the janitor head mean

"Advice from me. If you really love that girl then I suggest you go chase her before it too late." Hyoudou said to the boy "It not like my marriage is bad, I love my wife now and my daughter too but sometime I also wondering..." He turned and his eyes seems loss "What it would be if I persistent? Maybe I won't be stuck in this damn job." He murmured "Marriage without love is same with a food without salt Emiya, trust me, it was that bad. Even if you succeed but there will always be a hole, and if you can't escape from that hole..."

Shirou for the first time stare at the head janitor with new light. He knew that Hyoudou-san is not the brightest bunch and have reason for that, but to think it actually from marriage... It make him wonder just what happened to him in past

"Ah, what I talking about. It's like I'm an old man." Hyoudou said with snort. He then cracked his neck and roll his shoulder "Anyway, that's all I want to say. Now I want to get back to my job, see you later Emiya. Take my advice with serious okay?"

The man left after saying that without giving Shirou chance to reply, and the red-white haired magus did not make any attempt to chase or call him. It was clear that the janitor head don't want to talk about his past, he make an exception to Shirou because he has helped him a lot

'The problem is Hyoudou-san... The woman I love is in entirely different universe.' Shirou thought bitterly as he recall the janitor head advice. It won't be problem for Shirou if Sakura is on another side of Earth, he will chase her until the end but another universe? Now that was entirely different matter

A sounds from his pocket halted him from delving further to his memory. Shirou glanced down and notice it come from his cellphone, he pull it out from his pant and blinked when there call from number he doesn't recognize and registered in his phone

Deciding there won't be any harm in answering it, he tap the button and put the phone to his ear "Hello?"

"This is Shirou Yuuki Emiya right?"

A voice that familiar come out from it and Shirou eyes narrowed slightly "Yes, I am. Who is this?" Who is this person? Why he seems recognize that voice from somewhere?

"My identity is doesn't matter." The speaker replied swiftly "What matter is that princess of the planet Deviluke you currently engaged with."

Shirou tensed immediately, only few who know about Lala true identity. If there's someone else then they must be come from outside faction, and giving his current situation those people is not friendly

"What about her?" Shirou asked, his voice stolid and blank

"Well... Why don't we meet directly and have a chat? I will be waiting in tennis club storage room. Plenty of space in there and soon there won't be other bother us." He answered with smug voice "If you refuse... I believe the picture I send to you is more than enough to tell what the consequence would be."

"What? What are you-"

Shirou stop talking when the phone got hang up immediately after that. He notice there messge come in when he talked with the mysterious caller, quirking his eyebrow, he open the message and see the content

...

Green line that glowing like a nerve stretch to his foreheads and his heterochromatic eyes shimmering with their own color

"Hmmm, that food was good." Lala said aloud cheerfully while swinging her legs with every step

"Of course it was, it made by Shirou." Riko replied in matter of fact voice as if such thing is World's law

"Uhm! Shirou really know how to cook." Lala commented happily "Even the chef from my home can't make food as delicious as him. I'm sure Papa will be happy to eat food made by him."

'Well hopefully he will be happy enough to accept his refusal to your engagement.' Riko thought wryly

It's not like Riko hate Lala, no, on contrary she like her. The girl is cheerful, easy-going, polite, kind and always wish to know something. She remind Riko of Mikan when she was young and cute -she still cute but it overshadowed by her smartass attitude, seriously that girl really become bully now- so Riko doesn't have any problem with the alien princess

The problem is... Shirou future...

Emperor of Galaxy? That... That was... No... Seriously, what the heck is that?! There is no way she going to let her brother become something like that!

Imagine the live of people under his rule! Imagine how he would be in future!

To be honest Riko herself can't imagine how Shirou's future would be. His brother is odd, like really odd. He is... Perfect, one could say that, he is smart, kind and never hesitate to lend hand to those who need it. However at same time there something, something that... Bothering her and those that close to him

Shirou lacking something...

She doesn't know what, but to her Shirou is always like that. He lacking of something despite his gentle and kind personality, and that make him somehow got himself isolated and distanced by people. He is not admired or such thing, rather he is looked like some kind of solution, it as if he have answer for all problem, be it in good and bad way

It as if... Shirou always steps ahead of his peer... It as if he was too far from them, he walking in his own pace and no matter what those people would never be able to catch up with him...

Including her... His own sister...

"Rikoo~~~!"

A yell to her ear directly made the orange haired girl squeaked and jumped from her position. The eldest female from Yuuki's children spun around and glared at Lala, her heart thumping loudly "Lala! What the heck?"

"Sorry, sorry." Lala apologized "But you were spacing out." She said "What were you thinking?"

"Ah..." Riko put strained face for moment before banish them with smile "Nothing much, just... About Shirou." God damn it Riko! You not supposed to say that! Wrong line! Wrong line!

"Shirou?" Lala perked up and show interested face "What about him?"

"Well... It just..." Quick, try to open subject to change the topic! "About his future."

...

Riko really wish to stuck her own foot to her mouth now

"Future?" Lala tilt her head "You mean Shirou as Papa's heir?" She asked

"... Yeah."

"Ohh, don't worry about that." Lala smiled jovially "Shirou is reliable person, I'm sure he will be good Emperor in future!"

"Agree, like Lala-sama said." Peke suddenly chimed in making the oldest daughter of Yuuki's glanced at the hairpin "Shirou-san may not look like it but this far he show maturity and behavior that made him reliable." She agreed with her creator "If he keep this kind of mindset and personality, there won't be problem in future when Shirou-san become Emperor of Milky Way."

"Peke?" Riko blinked "You bring Peke with you? Lala, wasn't that dangerous? I mean." Riko began to look around "What if someone heard you?"

"Don't worry, I can presence around us Riko-san and I do not detect any Human signature ten meter around us." Peke assured

'Well... That probably because class will start soon.' Riko thought "Detect? How you do that?"

"It's easy." Lala smiled "I made Peke to be able sense heat signature."

"Detect heat signature?"

"Yep, it's like infrared vision! Peke cn detect the heat ten meter around us."

"... Like snake?"

"Snake? It animal species that long, without limbs, crawling in ground and scaly right?"

"Yes."

"Then yup!" Lala bobbed her head positively "Peke have many functions! She is multi-tasking robot!" She puffed her chest in proud manner while declaring that

"Really?" Riko sounded genuinely interested as she stare at the hairpin "What else she can do?"

"She can made cloths! Copy one, turn into one, fly, and she also comfortable to be cuddled with!"

"Heee, it kind of amazing." Riko whistled, and they did, the last part is extra though "How can she made cloths though?"

"I'm robot that designed all-costume machine, so of course I can do that. The complete explanation would be complicated, so I shall give the short version. In a sense,n my 'core' able to create fabric and material that necessary for cloth, after creating that all I need is design them as I wish." Peke explained

"That sounds amazing. So you can become any dress Lala want?" Riko sounded amazed while saying that

"Correct."

"That sounds very amazing." Riko said with awe as she turned to Lala "Is that why you made her? And you also made her by yourself?!"

"Yes, Lala-sama made me by herself." Peke the one who answered "Riko-dono, just for your information, Lala-sama is genius, even among researcher and other engineer Lala-sama brilliance is unparalleled. Her invention is the best and if she put her mind seriously Lala-sama can be the head of technology of Deviluke."

Riko gaped at the pink haired who smiled at her like an Angel. She's that great? Riko was aware that Lala is very smart, she answer all the homework and surprise quiz few days ago with perfect score, all while she never read the material of the school's lesson -Riko know because she with her the entire night- but to think she genius at that level...

"Then why didn't she?"

"Well..."

"Because it's booring." Lala said with syllable "When I go there all they made is boring and ugly stuff. I don't want to work with them." She stated "I made Peke because it fun and useful!"

"Well..." Riko hummed and scratch her chin "I guess making costume robot will be useful, you not need to waste money to buy cloths after all."

"What? Of course no silly." Lala said with giggle "I made Peke because it will be more convenient if my cloth able to equip themselves to me."

"... What?" Riko asked in dull tone

"It's too troublesome to pick cloths sometime, not to mention when wearing underwear. So I made Peke, not just she can equipped herself to me but whenever I want I can change my cloth!"

Riko stared, stared and stared. Then she turned to the hairpin who despite doesn't have expression somehow manage to look sheepish and ashamed

"Lala-sama have unique perspective regarding her priority." Peke said weakly

'Unique my butt.' Riko thought flatly. Seriously, she made all-costume robot just because she is too lazy to put on cloth? What kind of reason is that?!

Meanwhile Peke suddenly sense someone approching them, she about to warn Lala and Riko but paused and her swirly eyes twitched when there something strange about this one

'Hm? This heat signature... Wait, it coming to this direction too fast!' Peke thought frantically "Lala-sama! Be care-"

A thumping sounds reach Lala and Riko ears before the robot can warn them. They turned to the source and blinked when see who it was

"Ah!" Lala smile brightened "Shiro-whoaah!"

WHOOSH!

The boy did not even bother to greet or respond to his fiancé call. He simply ran through them with speed that very fast, enough to make both girl skirt blown upward momentarily and show the World their underwear

"Kya!" Riko squeaked as she hold down her skirt, face red slightly "Hey! Shirou! What's the big deal?!" She yelled with anger

However her brother did not reply and keep running, as soon as he come and as soon he gone. In less than few seconds the red-white haired magus already out from their sight

"That guy." Riko eyes narrowed with annoyance "Seriously, what is with him? Why he..." She blinked when something clicked on her mind. Shirou running, alone, by himself. Wasn't Haruna supposed to be with him? Where were she?

Meanwhile Lala also blinked but for different reason. The pinkette stare at where Shirou run to and slowly worried expression crossed to her beautiful face "Shirou?" She murmured with concern laced in her voice

'Why Shirou run away? Does something happen with him andn Haruna? Not to mention he seems in really hurry.' Riko wondered with scowl as she fixing her skirt. Seriously, he was very fast before, it almost like he got chased by some kind of monster, and he blow up their skirt too! Thanks God no one around to see their panties! "Well..." She let out sigh and turn to her companionn "What do you think La..." Riko trailed off when notice that the pinkette also gone. She blinked once, then her right eye twitched few times "What the heck just happened?!" She asked aloud

Meanwhile the princess of Devilukean who already runnning can't help but feel worried, her eyes briefly wonder to the ground and searching for clue where Shirou was

"Peke, can you see them?" She murmured

"I can Lala-sama." Peke whispered back "It's not obvious but I can see them enough if I focused."

What they talking about is the floor, the smooth and clean platform where they walking... Or at least how it supposed to be

It wasn't easy to see, however there is no mistaking that there cracks on there, small and nnot big but it there. The cracks was look like someone just stomped on them too hard, leaving mark in there

And the cracks is located where Shirou's shoes moment ago

'He stomp the ground with enough strength to make it crack. Is he truly Human?' Peke wondered as he analyze the damage on the floor "Keep going Lala-sama." She instructed

"Um." Lala nodded as she follow her robot instruction

She only manage to take few steps before her phone started to ringing, prompting her to pause, she scowled at the disturbance and flip the phone, seeing who call her in this important time

"Zastin?" She muttered, what that man want now? Nonetheless she decide to answer the call and the phone displaying her bodyguard face "Yes Zastin?"

"Lala-sama, sorry for disturbing you but I have news."

"News?" Lala scowled further "What is it? And make it fast, I'm chasing Shirou now."

"Shirou-sama?" Zastin voice become a bit tight "Is something happen with him?"

"I don't know but..." Lala paused and she recall what she saw moment ago

Riko maybe not saw it because Shirou run inhumanely fast but Lala did. Her eyes better than Human after all and she always have keen eyes when she really look at something, so she saw clearly when Shirou ran pass through them

He look mad...

Like really mad... And dare Lala say, very scary

The way his eyes narrowed, his forehead that scrunched, and her lips that pursed to deep scowl.

Lala never thought kindhearted and gentle man like Shirou can make such expression, it remind her of her papa when he pissed

That was why she chasing him now. She worried about him. What make him so angry like that?

"You know something don't you Zastin?"

"... Yes, Lala-sama this early morning there ship entering Earth atmosphere and landed outside your city."

Lala tensed at that, her eyes narrowed in analytical manner

"We don't know the identity of the ship but we do manage to track it down and currently I am inside it now." Zastin continued his report "Judging from the data I manage to gather from the computer, it appear to be one of your suitor."

"Is that so." Lala frown deepened. Right, now she recall Papa did said something about another suitor will try to take her away from Shirou

"Perhaps Shirou-sama in hurry because one of the suitor manage to contact him and hold something over him." Zastin guessed with grim voice "And also, Lala-sama I-"

"Zastin-sama, can you come over here please? We found something important."

Maul voice from behind cut the gray haired swordman from speaking further

"Wait a moment Maul." Zastin yelled before turn his attention back to her "I will tell the rest later when I found something more Lala-sama, and no matter what stay careful. Even if their target is Shirou-sama but they still might going to try harm you."

"Okay." Lala nodded, appear to be not care about "harm you" part "Bye bye." She said as she cut the connection "Now Peke, resume the tracking."

"Yes, go to your left Lala-sama."

The princess alien nodded and follow her creation instruction

Hopefully Shirou won't be hurt

...

...

...

Oh, who is she talking about. Shirou will be fine, he is strong after all!

Einzbern Consultation Room! Please Help Me Einzbern-sensei!

"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome back everyone!" Illya chirped happily as she pacing around the desk "This is Illyasviel von Einzbern speaking!"

"And this is Miyu Edefelt." Miyu said as she bowed to the audience with smile

"And this is Berserker!"

"▂▂▂▂▃▃▃▃▅▅▅▅!"

"And this is Kuro von Einzbern." Kuro grinned while sitting on the desk and swinging her legs "Apparently I still allowed to appear in this room! Thanks WWBG!"

"""Welcome back to Einzbern Consultation Room!""" They intoned with cheerful grin

"Haaaaa, finally! After seven months!" Kuro let out loud sigh "Can you believe it? Seven months! More than half year without update!" She exclaimed while flailing her arms

"I know right!" Illya throwing her arms in exasperation "That guy is the worst! Just when this story has chance to reach 1k+ he throw it away! Seriously!" She huffed "If his update schedule of this story is like "Re:Zero, Why Me?" Then now this story probably already close to 2k+ fav or fol." She grumbled

"Agree." Kuro nodded "One of WWBG's specialty is his absurd update schedule. If he truly motivated he can write 20k words in single day. Like what he did "Crimson Dragon Emperor and Crimson Eyed Knight" in past."

"Well, it can't be helped." Miyu smiled at the duo "WWBG-sama steam suddenly got cut off. Not to mention he was busy with exam at that time as well, so his motivation got cut down entirely."

"Yeah, I guess his real life started to take bad turn now." Kuro murmured

"I don't care! He still neglect this story for seven months! Seven months! The reader demand refund and their support to gived back!" Illya protested

Kuro stared at her albino counterpart that slamming her tiny fists to table repeatedly like five years old child throwing tantrum, then she turned to Miyu who smile in beatific manner as if she just got confessed by someone she love

"Okay, what with you two?" Kuro asked with twitching eye "You, look so upset to the point it become annoying." She pointed Illya before turned to Miyu "And you, you smiling too much. Seriously it become creepy since you always silent and put stoic face."

"▂▂▃▃▅▅!"

"Hmm? What Berserker?" Kuro asked to the mad demigod

"▂▂▃▃! ▃▃▅▅!"

"A new movie?" Kuro blinked before her eyes widened in realization "Oh that's right! There new movie about Fate Illya Prism! It's about Onii-chan and Miyu." She palmed her fist to her palm "That's why WWBG writing this chapter, his steam must be awaken due to watching the trailer." She hummed before she turned to Miyu who still smiling "And that's why she so happy. She got full spotlight." She then turned to Illya who sulking in desk "But what about you? Why the heck you sulking?"

"...ot...ir..." Illya mumbled

"Ha?" Kuro put annoyed look "What are you talking about?"

The white haired girl tilt her face up and glare at her counterpart "I said it's not fair!"

"What? Why it's not fair?" Kuro asked in bewildered voice

"She have some private movie with Onii-chan!" Illya yelled while pointing to Miyu

"Haaa?" Kuro put incredulous face "You complain about that? Aren't you and me already have our own series? Heck we even have 3 Season for Root's sake!"

"I'm not her!" Illya shouted "I'm not Illya the Magical Girl! I'm Illya the badass, Master of the Strongest Servant in Fifth Holy Grail War, and Shirou-niichan favorite little sister!"

"Oh... Yeah, I forget about that." Kuro sweatdropped "Wait, aren't you his only little sister?"

"That's not the point!" Illya snapped "The point is! Why the hell this girl got her own movie?!" She shouted while pointing to Miyu who seems in lala-land "I'm one of original girl in Fate Series! Rather than spending money and fund to made movie like that hey should use it on me! Me! Create my own Route so I can ended with Onii-chan damn it!"

"Well... You already have your happy ending with Onii-chan right? I mean, in Fate Route you're alive and live with him until you die." Kuro pointed

"I don't want to be little sister! I want my route!" Illya cried out while pumping her fist to the air "I want my romance story! I want my lemon! I want to *beep* with Onii-chan! I want to ride his *beep* and have his *beep* on top of me then begin to *beep* my mouth, and *beep* my *beep* and-"

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Okay, okay stop right there." Kuro cut the girl from making any comment further, her face flushed a bit at the crude words. Seriously she was really shocked someone with Illya face can said such words carelessly, her Illya is closet pervert about their Onii-chan but this one? Hell, her Illya look like harmless snail compared to her! "We know you love Onii-chan, me too." She admitted "And well... Doing that kind of thing with him sounds kinky and fun." She blushed in here "But... If Type Moon do that, Onii-chan can goes to jail."

"Ha? To jail? What are you talking about?" Illya deadpanned "I don't know how old are your Illya but I am Eighteen! I'm adult! Older than Shirou! Older than that witch Rin and that bimbo Sakura."

"They have older and appropriate look and appearance." Kuro replied with sigh "You? Not so much."

"So what?! I'm older than them! Those who have Dwarfism is short! Short, petite and like a kid! But people fine when they sleep with other!"

"They and you are different case!"

"No it's not! Dwarfism happened causes there error in there biology gene! Well so do I! I'm like this because I'm half homunculus and human! I got illness! Nothing illegal! People's opinion can go to hell! I'm legal damn it! I even listed to LegalLolicon you know!"

Kuro stared. She stared, stared and stared. Then she take deep breath once to calm herself

It did not work

So she smash her head to Berserker's body

"Ouch!

"The heck are you doing?" Illya asked in flat voice

"I'm trying to repair my mind." Kuro muttered "Seriously, I started to regret for coming in this session, I should appear in next chapter." She grumbled darkly "Anyway, let's stop talking about that, we have Review and Question to reply remember?"

"Yeah, yeah..." Illya grumbled as she slowly raise her head from the table, her mood obviously still sour. Thanks WWBG Nemesis not here now, if she did then... "Oi assistant, give me our papers for today." She demanded

"Yes Illya-san." Miyu said with smile as she hand her the papers

"Stop smiling like that damn it!" Illya yelled "It hurt my heart! Just stop! It also creepy!"

"Stop complaining and read that damn papers already!" Kuro shouted while smacking the white haired girl with board eraser "We already take too much words for this session!"

"Okay, okay." Illya sighed "Well, before we enter the Review session, WWBG want to say his biggest thanks to Masterx01 for his review, it was clearly hapling and clear things a lot. Thanks to him he got to know many things that can be used for future material."

"Especially the part of Heroic Spirit and Servant." Kuro nodded "That helped a lot, so thanks!"

"As for his review about so many things wrong. Well, there one thing that you mistaken. All your comment about Shirou being under rule of Gaia and such thing. While that was true Shirou mana pool and also supposed to be under HIS original Gaia's rule, there problem in that." Illya said while writing on the board "Two to be precise. You see, it' is what Zelretch done to him before he transferred to To Love-Rouverse.

"We all know that his body is breaking down in the end, thus simply reverting him back is not possible and won't do a damn thing. And true Avalon only working when he close to Saber, yet it still working inn here. How? I'd like to explain but it will spoil things. WWBG already have plan to reveal Shirou's Alteration real nature in future.

"And the second, is the Gaia of To Love-Rouverse. Let just say this Gaia is entirely different than Nasuverse, as matter of fact, the World and Universe law is entirely different in here. It is whole different universe after all, and the moment Shirou got here, he subjugated to their law, altering how his Magecraft supposed to work and such thing."

"It will be big revelation and twist." Kuro chuckled "I already read the script and I kinda went"holy shit" for moment, trust me."

"And to answer your question about Gid have heart or not. Of course he have, albeit the way it work different than Human. Can he be killed by Gáe Bolg and Fragarch? Yes, even Gilgamesh and Arcueid can, but only under right circumstance." Illya continued "You will see it in future. And Grand Servant is a big bullshit by the way, they're too OP. As if Gilgamesh not OP enough, another monster just added to the list. Especially Tiamat, seriously, she make Angra Mainyu look worthless in comparison."

"That was done I guess." Kuro said as she flip paper after papers "Now, is there something else that need to be explained? Or another question that need to be answered."

"Let see..." Illya check the papers "Does Zelretch going to make another appearance? Secret. Does Archerko will appear? Nope, maybe in consultation room if WWBG call her. Oh look, question from Sonicdude8."

"Isn't he the guy who asked about alien swords."

"Yep he is. Comparison of Gid full power? Well, that is something that will be answered later unfortunately, this so we not ruin the future confrontation." Illya said

"Another question is about Shirou romance." Kuro mused "Well, that would be spoil thing no? Either he would open his heart or not is unknown, but please noted that Shirou pretty much already throw everything for Sakura and he also love her so much. And we know just how loyal Shirou to the things he love, I mean, look at Fate Route, he keep searching a way to find Saber despite it impossible."

"Lala have very, very long way to get his heart." Illya commented with nod "Well... I guess that's all question answered."

"And the explanation?" Kuro asked "I mean, more about Earth or such things?"

"Will be talked later when we enter the chapter that related to them." Illya said while waving her hand "Right now we already take time more than we should be."

'And whose fault is that?' Kuro deadpanned "But how about that ghost girl? Oshizu Murasame?"

"Ah, her." Illya nodded "Another character that make early appearance due to Shirou's meddling. Yeah, I guess you're right, her existence is need to be explained." She hummed "Unfortunately time is not in our side, this session already too long thus explanation about Oshizu will be discussed on next chapter."

'Again, whose fault is that?' Kuro thought flatly "Whatever..." She sighed

"Well, let close this session now since nothing else to talk about." Illya stated"Miyu!" She called

"Yes Illya-san?" Miyu asked with smile

"... ... Nothing, by the way, I kinda thirsty, can you bring me cold cola from outside?"

"Sure."

Kuro watched as the girl in maid uniform leaving from the room, after few seconds she turned to Illya "What was that?"

"She creep me out." Illya deadpanned "Seriously, she so happy that she still in her lala-land from beginning until now. Let just close this session by ourselves."

"If you say so." Kuro sighed again "Well, this is Kuro von Einzbern!"

"And this is Illyasviel von Einzbern."

"Give this story more favorite."

"Give this story more follow."

""And give more review!"" They intoned while bowing ""See you all in next chapter!""

Welp... That's that...

Like Kuro and Illya said, I have no particular reason for not updating for long time. My steam just got restarted due to watching newest Prisma Illya movie trailer. I mean, holy shit! Shirou was so cool in there! XD

I'd like to speak more but it already 2 AM in my place and I have to sleep so... Yeah, let's close this chapter

Next will be Shirou confront the "mysterious" suitor! Though I bet everyone already knew who it is. However make no mistake there will be slight... Twist in there. What the twist? Well, you have to stay tune and be patient for that!

Ja Ne! XD
