"Okay, they said your size is too big for their clothes. So, join me to the mall. Okay?"
He sighed. This girl is crazy and out of her mind. She didn't think twice to use her command seal and her expression was dead.
"You must stay in your spirit form, Okay? And don't leave from my side."
"How about the changing room? Should I follow you inside when you need to try the new clothes?"
"Huh, don't be silly anyway. I don't have any desire for fashion right now. Oh, here is the scenario. I will say to my guardian that you're my uncle from my mother. You're my Mother's younger brother who lives in Fuyuki City. My grandpa from my mother wants to see me. He asks you to visit me and bring some invitation to move in his residence. Your other intention is you want to visit my parent's grave."
"What a nice way to hide your intention."
"Do you have any problem? No or no?"
"What?!"
"I know you have a nice improvisation. So, don't screw up this scenario. I don't mind any improvisation but don't go out the line."
"What a nice Master you are."
"I am. I will make anything perfect."
"It's not a compliment."
"I know. I can figure it out from your appearance and our pitter-patter anyway. But any negative words from you have no effect for me."
"Yeah yeah… just like a porcelain doll."
"No, I'd love if you call me a cunning fox."
"Whatever."
Mizuki walked to the nearest town. They kept talking but in mere whispers. She smiled when she found some cool clothes. But the clothes itself didn't have any 'cool' side in Archer's eyes.
"What a nice way of choice," he said sarcastically. Mizuki smiled. This Archer is really something. She loves their banter (she didn't admit it out loud).
"Yeah, but you will pay for your great comment anyway. So, do you prefer red or black? Black or blue jeans? Skinny or just usual?"
No answer.
"Okay. I will show you that my taste is better than you."
"Is that so?"
"I will."
Suddenly, an aura from another servant jerked him. He touched his Master's hand and Mizuki know what to do. But despite with some panicked expression, Mizuki remained calm.
"I know. I didn't expect that a servant tried to spy on me. They will pay anyway. Archer, don't show yourself before I give you an order."
"Okay, Master."
Mizuki walked to the cashier and pay the bill. She walked to the supermarket to buy two bottles of mineral water. Archer just followed her until she glared dagger on something.
It's a servant in its spirit form.
"Come on. Let's leave this place. I don't want to expose our identity yet."
"You said yet."
"Yeah, oh I forgot to tell you something. Are you agreeing with me if I use some strategy like an assassin?"
"Why?"
"You're my partner. So I should ask you about this. And you're a heroic spirit. Maybe you want to fight with code of honor."
"I don't mind."
"Oh, I don't think that you will agree with my choice of fight. Okay, don't kill me if my choice is wrong considering your code of honor."
"Like you're the one to talk."
"Yes, I am."
"Whatever. Just go to hell, Master."
"I don't think so. I'm still a teenager anyway. "
"Yeah, you're in late teenager."
"I see."
Mizuki stopped.
"Is there an enemy, Master?"
"No, and don't call me Master anyway. I feel like a woman in her thirties. Just call me Kanade."
"Okay."
"And I will call you Emiya. Is there any problem?"
"If I said yes, will you hear my solution?"
"No."
"What a nice master you are."
"I am. I spent my own money just to buy some clothes for my handsome servant."
"Oh…. I'm honored…."
"You should to."
Archer took his human form in front of Mizuki. Her head crashed on his chest. She rubbed her temple for her strange servant. Is he really a hero like my mother said?
"I said don't show yourself before I give you an order. Nah, it's okay anyway. Here, try this and go change your clothes."
Archer sighed. Here he is with a black polo shirt and a pair of blue jeans. He scanned at two pairs of shoes. His master gave him some determined look while still talking with her friend.
"Yeah. Can I borrow one of your suitcases, Engel? No, I'm planning to take a flight to my Grandpa's home. He wants to see me. No, I'm not alone. My uncle will accompany me in next holyday. Can I take that tonight? You know my character, aren't you?"
'Just pick one already, Archer!'
'Okay okay.'
"So, I will go to your house. Oh, anything's is fine. But I love pitch black. Oh, you have it? Yay!"
Archer sighed in frustration. He chose the black Jordan shoes. The color is pitch black with some white line around it. This girl is really something. But her sense of taste is not bad after all. She can choose anything match for a man.
"Woah! Nice choice, Archer. Now you can travel with me without take so much attention. Here as the accessory from me. You look stunning with this," said Mizuki. She jumped up and plopped a black hat on Archer's head. She reached the edge and rotated it till reach Archer's ear.
.

.
"Hey, oh my God. Who's that?"
"He's my uncle. Anyway, is that the suitcase?"
"Yeah. Oh my God, he's hot!"
"Is that so? He kept scolding me when I was in my elementary school. So I think he just like a pedophile back then."
"HEY! I heard that!"
Archer took off his hat and some strand of white hair flew upon his head. Mizuki tried to hold her laughter but it couldn't be helped.
"What's so- oh… sorry," said Archer with bowing head.
"Rose lost her husband some years ago…"
"So?"
"Yeah…. You know…. He has many charming parts…. Oh my God! I think I will change my ideal type of boyfriend!" said Engel. Mizuki shuddered.
"He's already taken."
"Oh, I see."
"So, I can't be with you in the next holyday. I will fly to Fuyuki city to see my grandpa with him. I'm sorry, Engel."
"No, we spent some days together at school. We can spend many days in the next semester."
"Yeah, you're right."
Engel waved a goodbye sign for two 'family member' before closing the door. Mizuki and Archer walked side by side and for some reason she looked up and met Archer's eyes.
"I'm wondering how you can maintain those heights, Archer."
"My cold master just thinks about her fashion right now."
"Yeah, although I'm a killing spree, bastard with no emotion, cunning fox, I'm still a girl."
"Hm, you talk to me about your feeling. I'm honored."
"Yeah, you're a heroic spirit. Maybe when this war is over, you will return to your spirit place. So, you have no time to spill any secret about me in the outside."
What an unpredictable child.
"Okay, do you remember the scenario? I will open the door now…"
.

"Rose… I'm home."
She looked for her guardian and found her in the kitchen with frying pan. Rose turned off the stove after saw Archer in the outside. She approached Mizuki with her charming eyes.
"Is that him?"
"Yeah. Uncle… this is my guardian in here. Her name is Rose. Rose, this is my uncle. His name is Emiya."
"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Rose. Thanks for taking care Kanade," said Archer calmly. Mizuki held her laughter. Rose took some steps backward when Archer bowed his head.
"Okay. It's nice to meet you too. Come in, I'm done with the cooking. Do you mind to take a seat with us?"
"It's my pleasure."
They kept their chats around dinner time. Mizuki sighed with relief when Archer could position himself as her Uncle. She walked out to the kitchen to wash some dishes.
"Is that true?"
"Yeah. My father wants her to come in Fuyuki in her holyday."
"Is he wants Kanade to move out from this town?"
"I don't know. Maybe yes, maybe not. But I see my sister in her. Maybe Kanade wants to stay in here."
"Is that so…"
"He just wants to see his beloved Granddaughter. I promise, I will bring her back when the problems are solved."
"You're her family. You have my trust. Please watch her out in there."
Kanade walked out from the kitchen and smiled. She admired her own servant (she didn't want to admit it out loud). She didn't ask him about his wish. But at the end, she promised to herself that this is the last Holy Grail War.
"How were the dishes?"
Kanade smiled. It was so warm to have a family (although the uncle is fake anyway) like this. She missed her parents. Maybe a little visit before the departure wouldn't hurts.
"I have done all the dishes."
"Take some sleeps then. A girl around your age need some sleeps to enhanced your height."
"What?"
Oh, her servant was annoying. She admired his tall and lean muscles. His exotic tan skin and his enchanting eyes are really something. But all of them were gone by his attitude.
"I'm not in twenty yet! So, I still have some growth spurt, old man!"
"I know it. Some Scientists said that a man around my age have no growth spurt. But believe me, I still have it. I know that it's not as fast as yours. But at the end, your heights never reach mine."
"Yeah yeah, whatever anyway."
.
.
.
'My father and my mother, I will fly to Fuyuki city. I will get the Holy Grail.'
"How's the plane?"
"We will go to the airport in the evening. There's something I need in my school. You're free from now until I come home. Just do as you like in your spirit form."
"You said that I'm free."
"Yeah, you're free in your spirit form. But you're restricted to go anywhere but around my house in your current form."
"Is that so? How's the protection?"
"The war is in Fuyuki city. My school isn't just ordinary school. It will repel the bad things when it passed the barrier."
"Just like a magic school?"
"Yeah. It can recognize someone's aura."
"Okay."
"I will be back at eleven. Don't make any trouble, will you?"

Mizuki opened her locker and took any important books for her sorceries. Then she took a blade with little snake appearance from her locker too. It was a totem from her mother. She walked through the corridor and some whispers stopped her walks.
'Hey, who's that?'
'What a cool man he is!'
'What's he doing in here?'
'I don't know. New teacher?'
'Kyaaaaa…..'
She looked at the glassy windows and smiled. His servant's out of her control. What's with that appearance? And a wink from him made her mad.
'I think he winked to us.'
'Is that so? Oh my God!'
"Hey Mizuki! Wow! Is that your uncle?"
Mizuki sighed when Engel said those words. Some girls looked at her with their bewildered emotion. Some of them also looked at her with disbelief.
"Yeah, I think it's time to leave."
"He came to pick you up. Oh my God! You're so lucky!"
"Thanks. Mata ashita ne…."
"Yeah! I hope you can reach there without any problem in the way."
Mizuki hugged Engel before the good bye. She ran through the stairs. She can jump from the third floor but some teacher will give her many punishments.
"There you are."
"What's the meaning of this? You-"
"I'm worried about some unpredicted attacks."
"So, you came here in this form and… is that a motorcycle? Where do you get that?"
"Rose gave me permission to use it. It belongs to her husband."
"Is that so? Okay, I got everything I need. Let's go!"
"No punishment in this time?"
"No, I'm not in the mood for punishment."
She looked at disbelief for the scenery. Archer on motorcycle? If his class is rider or saber, she can ride with him along the way. From the books, archer class doesn't have riding-related thing ability.
"Oh Archer, I'm so worried with your riding skill."
