School will begin tomorrow, so I will have less time than I have now.
Sorry about that
Morning, in the Einzbern's castle, Illya, Berserker and the two maids were in the bathroom.
"My lady" began Sella "I think that things could have gone better"
"What do you mean?" asked Illya.
"If Berserker could have defeated Saber right away, and chosen to protect her…he needs to be punished" answered Sella "This is war, you need to use every opportunity in hand"
"Berserker did nothing wrong" said Illya while taking her clothes off "He acted instinctively"
"What do you mean 'Instinctively'?" asked Sella.
"I've seen something in Berserker's memory that's explained everything" answered Illya while entering the water "As monstrous as he looks like, he is more human than everyone in this world"
"I hope that next, he will act without remorse" warned Sella.
"Don't worry" replied Illya while grinning "If we fight someone other than Saber, Torn while obliterate them, especially Archer"
"Archer, the Servant of Rin Tohsaka" commented Leysritt.
The name of Rin Tohsaka brought rage to Illya who said "How could she dares approach him…"
"Me…kill…red Master…so…Illya…happy" said Berserker.
"Thank you for the support Torn. But if she dies, Saber will not be a challenge to you" replied Illya.
"Illya…no…worry…for…Torn" said Berserker "Next…encounter…Saber…Torn…smash…slash"
Illya giggled and replied "I think that you need to restrain yourself, after all, I want to deal with Archer first"
"But why?!" asked Sella with panic "The Archer Servant can be dealt with, the highest priority is Saber!"
"Not only Saber" corrected Illya "That rat who have the role of Lancer's Master need to be dealt with after Archer"
"Lancer?" said Sella with confusion.
"Lancer…spies…fight" said Berserker.
"I think that the Master already knew about Berserker" concluded Illya "He has some connections with the church"
"Shadow priest (Seriously, play in Fate unlimited code to understand)…cheat" said Berserker.
"I think that there's more than meet the eye" commented Illya with a grin "This war is sure interesting"
"My lady, please be careful" said Sella.
"Illya…safe" said Torn "Problems…outside…other…Masters"
"Torn is right" added Illya "We need to locate the Master of Lancer, and I think that our friend from the church can help us"
"You mean the referee?" asked Sella.
"I have the feeling that he is cheating" answered Illya "But I can't act now, the church is a neutral area, attacking it would be to attract the unwanted attention"
"Shadow Priest attack…Torn…smash…shadow Priest" said Berserker.
"Why are you calling him 'Shadow Priest'?" asked Leysritt.
"Priest…not…holy" answered Torn "Priest…dangerous"
"Disturbing" commented Sella.
"Shadow magic…kill" added Torn "Shadow magic…unholy…near necromancy"
"I'm sure that he uses his place as referee to protect himself" said Illya "We will need help if we want to destroy him"
"Saber…weak Master…Archer…Red Master" said Torn.
"I see your point" said Illya "But let's wait until I get something that might prove my point"
"What are you going to do now my lady?" asked Sella.
"I think that I'm going to observe Onii-chan and make sure that nothing's going to harm Saber" answered Illya with a grin "After all, I want to make him suffer"
Later that day.
"Onii-chan is really stupid" commented Illya while looking at Shirou.
"Saber…worry…Master" said Torn.
"To the point of following him?" asked Illya.
"We…follow?" asked Torn.
"Yeah…" answered Illya.
In the evening.
"How can he stand there without dying with boredom?" asked Illya after watching Shirou the entire day "I don't like school"
"Knowledge…power" commented Torn "Learning…time…power"
"I didn't know that you were like that" said Illya "I thought that you use your axes only"
"Illya…correct…Torn…no magic…but…Torn…read" replied Berserker.
"I-I see" said nervously Illya "Anyways, let's make sure that Onii-chan returns home safely"
They soon spotted Shirou exiting the school with Saber, a violet haired girl and a young woman with brown hair.
"Who are they?" asked Illya "They don't seem like Masters"
"Protection…from…assault…maybe" said Torn.
"I don't think so" replied Illya "It's like they are friends"
"He sure knows how to make friends" commented Illya with a sad tone.
Torn patted Illya's head and said "Illya…big heart…one day…Illya…have friends"
"Thank you Torn" said Illya while smiling, before turning to the four "But why he's always with all those women"
Torn smirked and said "Illya…jealous?"
The girl blushed and said "There's no way I would be jealous, I still want to make him suffer, remember?"
Suddenly Saber turned to their direction and glared at them, Berserker grabbed his axes and prepared to defend himself and Illya. But the Servant of the sword turned and resumed her way.
"This saber is very observant" commented Illya "But we'll still follow them"
"Saber…aware…from…beginning" added Torn.
"I see" replied Illya.
They followed them to their house, Illya sent a familiar to spy on them. It shown the four of them around a dinner and the Violet haired girl was acting strangely.
After the dinner, Shirou washed the dishes while mumbling something before saying "Fugi-nee, it's getting late, could you walk Sakura home?", the young woman named Fugimura Taiga didn't answer, which leaded to call her again, she still didn't answer, Shirou walked to her and said "Hello, earth to Miss Fugimura, are you ignoring me?"
This time, the young woman responded with "Sorry, request denied, I won't be able to walk Sakura home for a while"
"Why is that?" asked the boy with worry.
Fugimura got up and answered with "Because starting tonight, I'll be staying here too"
"What?" asked Shirou in disbelieve.
"Care to join me Sakura?" asked Fugimua, totally ignoring the boy's state "I can call your home to make sure it's okay with them so you don't have to worry?"
Sakura smiled and responded with "Oh yes, thanks, I can always count on you Miss Fugimura"
In her part Illya wasn't pleased by the result, "Why are they attached to him like that?!"
Saber got up and began to move outside, Berserker moved toward the entrance.
"What is your objective?" asked Saber "I don't think that's just following us"
"Obeying…orders" responded Berserker.
"What orders?" asked Saber.
"Making sure that nothing happens to you of course" answered Illya "After all, you still need to fight Berserker in a one-on-one"
"Illyasviel Von Einzbern" began Saber "No matter what you are planning, I won't let you harm Shirou"
"Don't be so full of yourself" replied Illya with a grin "I will take care of Onii-chan after taking care of you"
Saber materialized her invisible sword and took her stance.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you now" said Illya "I will let you to be the lasts in my list"
"What do you mean?" asked Saber.
"Just that I won't let any harm come to you, until the end of the war, where you and Berserker will fight to the death" answered Illya.
I hope that you enjoyed this chapter.
