"I have no name any longer. When I was once human I had a name then. But I threw that name away. I am only called Archer now."
Chapter 1: rebirth
Why?
Why did it happen this way? Why master?
I was meant to disappear after the 5th Holy Grail war ended. But somehow…I live again. But this time as a human.
How could this happen?
"Hey! You aren't day dreaming are you, archer?"
"No…I sorry I was lost in my thoughts."
How can I be alive again? Is it thanks to you master? But I didn't wish for this. I wanted to disappear all together. I am…a failure as a hero. I shouldn't be alive still. Even more so sense…you aren't here any longer.
Why? How could this happen this way?
This isn't right.
"Well hurry up! We need to have everything ready! Those kids will be here soon to eat they're lunch! And we need the line ready!"
"Y-yes, ma'am."
I been working in this school sense I appeared in this world; feeding hungry students. Would you laugh at me if you saw me like this? Or would you just smile at me like you always used too?
Yes in this world I am called Archer again. It's the only name I can be called. Because it's the only name I haven't left behind.
No matter how much time has gone by I can't forget you. I would be lying if I said didn't say I wished to see you again. I miss seeing you day in day out. I guess I just got used to your kind face and the way you would smile at me.
Master…
At the least you did finish what you said you would. You ended the Holy Grail war. You saved lives doing so.
If anyone a hero here…it would be you.
I heard the bell ring. Quickly the door to the lunch room opened and students started to race in.
"Remember Archer! Remember to smile!"
"Y-Yes, ma'am."
I don't hate the job. It isn't bad. I don't care about money or anything in this life really. But…I feel somewhat heart-broken.
"Welcome would you like the special?" I asked trying my best to smile. "Me eat that crap? Yeah right." I knew that voice it was Rin. Why was she even in line? "Why are you in line then…?" I asked her. She quickly glared at me, "Well I am showing someone around who just started here. Not as if it's any of your business." She quickly said back to me.
"Hmm…do they have the same stuff daily Rin?" a softy voice asked, "hell if I know. I don't need this crap in the lunch room." I glared at Rin and slowly looked toward the softy voice. I quickly gasped.
It-It couldn't be. That face…was master's faced.
"Is this pasta?" she asked me. I just stared at her I couldn't come up with any words. "Hello? Idiot she asked you a question!" Rin yelled snapping me back to me senses. "Y-yes it is." I had trouble just getting three words out of my mouth. It-it really was her. "Hmm…I see pasta, sandwiches and all kinds of other stuff." I was staring at her.
I couldn't get myself to look away from her. I guess I was just too shocked to see her.
Why? Why was she here?
"Stop staring at her you pervert." Rin glared at me, "eh?" she looked at me confused as I quickly looked to the side. "You know him Rin-san?"
"More like he's an idiot that got a job he shouldn't have."
Why did she have to pick a fight with me in front of her?
"I'm just unlucky that's all." She quickly gigged to herself. "I wouldn't say that. The job doesn't look that bad. Just a bit different." Yeah I was sure of it now. She was my once master alright. "Archer." I told her, "Excuse me?" she asked, "I'm called archer." I told her, "oh. That's your name. What an odd name."
"Kaze Sara." She greeted me with a smile.
Master…it really is you. You are alive in this world. To see you standing before me. You don't know how happy that makes me.
"You don't need to be friendly with an odd man with him, you know."
"Eh? Odd? Different isn't always a bad thing Rin-san."
That was clearly my master before me. The way she spoke. The way she saw things. It was clearly her. Even if she didn't remember me. I would remember her no matter what.
"What is older men your thing?"
"W-what I never said that!" she blushed.
Cute.
"If you say so. Well you have seen the lunch room. Let's leave before this pervert stares at you anymore!" I frowned and Rin pulled on her arm and the two girls left the lunch room.
Even with a frown across my face I couldn't feel anything but happy see and knowing she was alive in this world. Perhaps she could live a happy life now that the Holy Grail war was over. She wouldn't have to feel pain anymore.
She could just live a normal live. Like a normal girl her age should right? This is the best thing for her isn't it?
