Well... I'm back.
Firstly, I'm going to answer a few reviews:
Jimbobob5536: Please, don't give her any ideas... she's already pushed herself above her station.
Paxloria: The Disgaea Anime is a very loose adaption of the first game... beyond that, in the video game franchise, there are also:
Disgaea 2, Disgaea 3, Disgaea 4, Disgaea D2, Disgaea 5, Phantom Brave, Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome, Soul Nomad and the World Eaters, Prinny: Can I really be the Hero?, Zettai Hero Project, La Pucelle Tactics and Disgaea Infinite.
There may be more that I'm not aware of, but that's all I can name off the top of my head.
Guest: Not exactly... they're not actually meant to be anyone else.
cj1of4: Actually, he currently does have an Evility... he just doesn't realise it... as for the Gender Change Evility, he'd have to learn how to equip it in the first place for it to take effect.
Magus of Dream: That only applies to Trinity... because she's annoyed him that much.
fray100: I'll be honest... I'm still trying to decide on that.
allen Vth: Indeed, he most certainly could have.
Impstar: The issue with Trinity... is that she was never meant to be so important... she's just meant to be a generic unit and not a main character... so the fact that she's managed to push herself into the latter role makes that a bit more awkward.
Anyway... that's all for now, so let's get on with the fic.
"I'm being serious here Trinity," Shirou said as they returned to the house with the two new members of the group in tow, "what was with all that 'detective' nonsense you were spouting before?"
"What do you mean?" she responded with confusion clear in her tone, giving him the same response she had given all the previous times he had asked.
"You two," he directed towards the Overlord's daughter and Alyssa, "didn't she talk about being a detective, me being a 'pimp' and you being turned into sex slaves?"
"No," the duo answered without delay, causing him to freeze in disbelief.
He knew they had commented on it when Trinity was blurting it out… so why were they suddenly acting like they had no idea what he was talking about?
"You talked about it when she said it," he told them with a blank expression.
"What are you talking about?" the silver haired warrior responded without hesitation and he found himself silently wondering just how short term their memory was.
"… you don't even remember," he stated with disbelief before he shook his head and proceeded to turn his attention back towards the house he had just returned to.
"Welcome back Emiya-kun," the voice of Adari called out and he found himself wondering just how the plant-like demon would react to seeing the Overlord's daughter once again, "hello again, Princess Plotz."
The complete lack of surprise in the former greengrocer's tone made him wonder if it had been expecting him to do this.
"You don't seem surprised," he pointed out, earning a shrug off the green skinned creature.
"Well… she's a unique character… she'd naturally join you at some point in the story," Adari's response made him blink.
Then he facepalmed.
"I'm surrounded by idiots."
"I-I'm not an idiot," the voice of the Overlord's daughter called out and he found himself silently questioning that given that she had chosen to leave him alive just because he had a pink shield.
"That's debateable," he declared bluntly.
"Then I'll prove I'm not!" she declared and he found himself raising an eyebrow at that.
If this world had taught him anything, it was that demons were idiots.
And she was a demon.
So the chances of her being an idiot were high.
However… there was something he could use if she was willing to try and prove herself to him.
"If you want to prove yourself, then set up an Innocent Farm," he told her bluntly.
He noted the way she looked surprised before another voice cut in.
"No," Trey spoke firmly and he once again turned to the boy with irritation at the refusal to use whatever was necessary to win, "it's too early for you to get something like that."
"And what about an assembly?" he asked, earning a sigh off the healer.
"What would you even use it for?" the boy asked but he simply narrowed his eyes.
"You're the one who's supposed to explain that too me," he pointed out.
"Look, if you're not going to listen, then you're going to have to find someone else to heal you," Shirou found himself surprised by that declaration.
To be so against him asking about these facilities that he would refuse to heal him really was extreme.
"… fine," he conceded.
"Good," the boy said with a satisfied smirk, "trying to bypass the effort to grow stronger isn't something a main character should do."
And once again, Shirou found his eye twitching at that.
"Huh? But isn't being overpowered the whole point of this series?" Alyssa spoke with confusion and Shirou found himself once again twitching in irritation.
"Of course not!" the Overlord's Daughter cried out immediately, "the struggle to reach that point is why the story exists… the overpowered part is only supposed to come in during the post-game."
"Yep… definitely surrounded by idiots."

Shirou couldn't stop himself from sighing as he moved through the backyard.
He really needed some time alone to try and stabilise his sanity after all the crazy he had just experienced.
He had finally managed to bring out Unlimited Blade Works on his own, to a degree that even Archer hadn't been able to simply through the sheer raw power he now possessed as a demon.
Beyond that however, had been Alyssa's lack of surprise.
Meaning there were some things that demons could do that were similar to a reality marble… he really shouldn't have been surprised… but it had still been a shock to see a demon dismiss it just like Gilgamesh had done back when they had fought.
Of course, he had once again won, though this time had been much easier than against the arrogant king.
"So… how did you find that battle Emiya Shirou-san?" a young and feminine voice he didn't recognize called out and he found himself turning to face the direction it had come from.
He was certain it had come from the edge of a roof not far away, but there was no-one there.
"Did you enjoy the feeling of power as you held their lives in your hand?" the voice continued from directly behind him and he turned to face the owner only to once again find nothing.
"Who are you?" he barked out, silently worried about the power of this foe if they could overcome his senses so easily.
"Someone who is very interested in you," the girls voice spoke with amusement, "but enough about me… what about you?"
He frowned at that as he wondered just who this stranger was.
"Did you like the rush you got when you reduced my big sister to a sobbing wreck?" sobbing wreck?
His blood ran cold as he realized who his current foe was.
"So… you're the Overlord's Youngest Daughter," he concluded easily, even as he considered just how much more intimidating this was than anything the older sister had done.
"Hehehehe…" the chuckle that came from all around him was filled with a hint of jovial malice that he could honestly say was rare for anyone to achieve, "it is so good to see you're not an idiot, Shirou-kun."
The way the invisible foe said his name made him feel as if he had just been violated.
At least he could think of a way to overcome whatever trick she was using… he just hoped it would work how he wanted it to.
"Trace on," he whispered before pushing his structural analysis into the ground and looking for any indications there was another person on the ground near him.
"Oh? Don't bother trying to find me… I'm very good at remaining invisible," she proclaimed but he simply drew Kanshou from the Unlimited Blade Works and stabbed to his left.
"WAAHHH!"
He noted the fact that her feet took a few steps back at his thrust before he turned to face her, pushing his analysis into the air consistency as he visualized the area where the air let a humanoid shaped gap.
"L-lucky shot!" the girl spoke but he proceeded to bring out Byakuya and swing at the human shaped space with no air, causing it to tilt in response.
So he simply thrust his blade straight at where she had moved.
"W-what?!" once again she proceeded to take a couple of steps back and he prepared another attack before he recognized the arm movement the girl made as that of someone throwing a dagger.
Tilting out of the way, he felt the invisible blade fly past his face as his foe put some distance between them.
"Dammit… how are you doing that?" the girl asked and he simply raised an eyebrow.
"Why would I tell you?" he responded bluntly.
"Heh… most people would be more than happy to brag about that," she answered him and he simply looked right at where she was.
"Well… I'm not most people," he stated firmly.
"I know… you're the handsome sadist I have my eyes on after all!" that statement was said with pride clear in her tone.
Shirou however could do little more than blink in disbelief.
"Excuse me?" he found himself wondering if he misheard her.
"I said, you're the handsome sadist I have my eyes on," she repeated and he processed it once again.
"That statement is wrong on so many levels," he stated blandly.
That was almost as ridiculous as that one time Taiga had confronted him about being friends with Shinji because she thought he just wanted to be around the girls that followed the boy around.
"Really?" the voice clearly didn't sound impressed, "and what makes you think you aren't handsome?"
Shirou honestly found himself wondering if she was trying to bait him or not.
But he would continue speaking anyway.
"That part isn't something I care about," he stated as firmly as he could, "it's the 'sadist' part that I'm arguing."
"Heh… really?" the voice once again responded, "because I would beg to differ."
Shirou found himself growing annoyed of the girl already.
"But enough of me simply saying you're a sadist," her voice cut in once more, "simply saying it isn't enough… what I have to do is prove to you that you are one."
Shirou was about to charge at her once more, but she proceeded to leap onto one of the roofs.
"But bye for now," her voice cut in once more, "I've got plans to set in motion after all."
And with that, the presence vanished and Shirou found himself silently worried about whatever trial he was about to undergo.
XXX The Fate Of A Hero Complex Overlord XXX
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" the voice of Trey resounded through the area and Shirou found himself releasing a sigh as he moved to deal with whatever issue was being raised.
Looking at the sight before him, he found himself blinking a couple of times at the presence of several new houses littering the clearing that had somehow been expanded since he had left.
However, it was the solidly built, medieval European style castle that really stood out to him.
He was sure he hadn't been away long enough for that to happen.
"This hovel is too small for the home base of the Future Overlord!" the Overlord's daughter proclaimed, and he found himself blinking in surprise at that declaration.
… was she already declaring him to be the next Overlord?
"This is my home!" the healer he had met before responded without hesitation.
"That is irrelevant," the horned girl responded firmly, before pointing towards the castle "this shall be the Future Overlord's new home from now on… and if it becomes too small, then it shall simply be extended."
"Prinny…" he spoke with a detached air before noting the blue penguin like creature appear next to him, "how long was I gone?"
"A few minutes dood!" the Prinny responded instantly.
That made him blink.
"Then how did all that get there?" he asked in confusion.
"Prinny Squad dood," the tortured soul responded easily, "they're really fast once they get to work dood."
That was probably the understatement of the century.
"Oh, hello Shirou-sama!" he almost had to blink at the sudden call from the Overlord's Oldest Daughter, "I have arranged for a castle to be built for you."
"That's… uh… nice," he finally settled on, before he shook his head clear and decided to ask an important question, "anyway… I need to ask you about your sister."
Suddenly the girl's face darkened.
"Why?" she was clearly not happy, but he had already beaten her once.
"Because she just started harassing me," he informed her bluntly, causing her eyes to blink several times as the dark look left her features.
"Oh… well then, I suppose we can call a war meeting in the castle can't we?" she suggested and he found himself wary of an ambush.
"You're calling a war meeting?" Trey spoke with his anger still clear in his tone.
"Of course," the black haired girl acknowledged without delay, "however, it is only for those who are Shirou-sama's council."
"… what?" he found himself asking in confusion.
Last time he checked, he didn't have a council.
"Only the council can participate in the war meeting," Alyssa spoke without delay, "and right now… the council consists of Emiya-sama, Lotsa-sama, myself, Trinity-san and Adari-san."
"Hoi! What about me?!" Trey spoke up in annoyance.
"What about you?" the response by the Overlord's daughter was a clear dismissal.
Shirou however found himself inwardly happy with that.
As much as Trey may have helped him since he had gotten there, he was proving himself to be the biggest obstacle between him and his accumulation of power.
Of course, it all depended on how the group that was part of the so called 'council' would handle his demands.
"Hey! Emiya-san," the boy directed his attention towards him, "you're not going to exclude me from it are you?"
"He has no reason to include you," Lotsa… good lord… did he just think her name? said with a sense of dismissal, "I have gotten him a new healer that will live inside the castle."
Shirou found himself blinking at that declaration.
He had been so used to being treated by Trey that the mere thought of having another healer sounded completely alien to him now.
However, it also meant he didn't have to worry about being kept from healing just because Trey didn't agree with some of his decisions.
"Sorry Trey… but I want to win this war," he proclaimed easily, earning a firm nod off the girl who had arranged everything for him.
Admittedly, he would have preferred to have had a traditional Japanese style in stead of the European style he was seeing before him.
"Well… I guess it's time to deal with this 'war meeting'," he said as he moved to enter the castle, noting the gargoyles that were located at either side of the gate.
They were certainly detailed, he would almost think they were alive.
Then one nodded at him and he realized that they were indeed alive.
"… are they soldiers of yours?" he asked out of curiosity.
"Nah, they're just hired guards," Alyssa admitted without delay, "they're here for money and the chance to guard a future Overlord."
He found himself unsurprised by that.
Otherwise it would raise the question of why they hadn't fought him before.
The fact that they stopped Trey from entering the castle was proof that they were taking their current job seriously.
"Hey!" the boy cried out in clear irritation, "is this the thanks I get for helping you so much?!"
Shirou certainly did feel guilty for leaving the boy, but he had more important matters to deal with right now and Trey was proving to be more of a hindrance than a help with them.

Entering a Throne Room wasn't something he ever expected to do, but here he was, entering the rather spacious hall with a decent size throne and a red carpet leading up to it.
However, there were other matters that caught his attention, namely the people and facilities that were lining the walls leading up to the throne.
One was of course, the Item Worlder who was waving towards him with a cheeky grin while standing in front of a green portal.
He almost did a double-take upon seeing another person who looked exactly like the item worlder standing before a blue portal.
Then there was the Rosen Queen representative, in front of a stall of weapons and armour.
Adari was also there, standing before what looked like an animal pen.
Then there was the blonde woman in a black dress with white frills that was standing near what was clearly a hospital bed, probably the new healer.
There was also another unfamiliar woman with a long blonde ponytail who looked like she was wearing a navy blue trenchcoat and glasses, standing before what he recognized as an active dimensional gate due to the white colour.
And lastly, there was an unfamiliar girl with blue hair roughly the same length as Lotsa's but with a bang covering her right eye, leaving her red left eye to stare blankly at the world. She also had a red ribbon in her hair that almost looked like rabbit ears.
She was also wearing a white sleeveless dress with a red rim, and matching loose sleeves and stockings… she was also carrying a stuffed rabbit toy for some reason.
"So who is everyone?" he asked wondering just how many facilities he had just gained access to.
"I'm sure you know about Rosen Queen and the Item Worlder," Lotsa said and he found himself frowning at how easily her name was coming to him now that he had let the floodgate go, "the twin is the Chara Worlder… think of her as being like the Item Worlder for People."
He snapped his head towards her in disbelief.
"Of course, she only helps improve potential… so you'll have to train to make the most of it," she told him and he found himself still amazed at the mere idea of having access to something like that.
"The woman with the black dress is the new healer," she continued, "while she may charge for her services, she won't refuse your custom unless you have no money."
Shirou found himself silently wondering just how that would affect his ability to afford better equipment… before remembering that he had already accumulated a decent bit of money just from all his trips into the Item World.
"The professor there is in charge of the dimensional gate," she continued, pointing towards the woman with the glasses, "and Pleinair there is in charge of the Dark Assembly."
Shirou followed where she was pointing him and noted the girl with the red ribbon.
"She's a mute, but Usagi can usually speak in her place," the girl informed him and he found himself about to ask when he figured it out.
Demon Stuffed Rabbit.
"And what about Adari?" he asked, earning a laugh off the person he just commented on.
"I'm here as an Innocent Farmer," he immediately turned his sole attention onto the demonic plant, "not everyone here cares about sticking to the rules."
He could feel the relief spread through his body as he realized he wouldn't have to deal with Trey preventing him from progressing at his own pace.
"In that case," he said as he pulled out Kanshou and Byakuya, "can you take the statisticians out of these and start raising them as much as you can?"
"Of course Emiya-kun," the Alraune spoke without delay, "I guess this means I won't have time to grow anymore oranges though."
"That's fine," he responded without delay, "these take priority."
"Okay then," and with that, Adari proceeded to remove the Innocents from his weapons and placed them in the pen.
Despite everything however, there was a single issue he needed to address.
"Why did you do this?" he asked as he faced the Overlord's Daughter.
She had no reason to go this far out of her way to aid him and it was clear that she was being serious about her attempts, even giving him access to facilities he hadn't even heard of before.
"It is only natural for a wife to support her husband with all her might," she declared, and he found himself blinking in response.
"… wait… what did you just say?" he was certain he misheard that.
"I said, 'it is only natural for a wife to support her husband with all her might'," she repeated and he found himself wondering just what was going on.
"Wait… why are you calling yourself my wife?" he needed to understand just why she was referring to herself in such a manner.
"… you demanded that I swear myself to you… doesn't that make me your wife?" her words reverberated through his head as he considered the situation.
For once, he honestly couldn't say she was insane for thinking that was the case… because he could see exactly where her logic came from.
He just hadn't meant it like that.
"T-that wasn't what I meant…" he stumbled over his words as he tried to think of a way to explain his intention without it coming off as callous.
"W-what?" she seemed almost like she was dreading what he was about to say.
"I… I just meant that you were to swear your loyalty to me…" he explained, "I never meant for you to take it the way you did."
"Wait…" Trinity spoke up and he found himself dreading what she was about to say, "do you mean you admit you messed up with that one?"
He almost froze at the fact that her question was perfectly reasonable.
"Yeah, I admit, it was my fault for wording my sentence wrong," he admitted, causing the Ice Mage's eyes to widen in disbelief.
"Y-you admitted you were wrong instead of blaming it on us," the mere fact that he was willing to do that seemed to completely go over her head.
"Trinity… I'm not afraid to admit I was wrong about something like that," he pointed out, "I'm just not prepared to accept the insanity you seem to want to infect me with."
"Heh," he turned to see Alyssa looking on in amusement, "so… you were talking about 'sex slaves' earlier."
He noted the massive blush that seemed to spread on Lotsa's face at that statement even as she seemed to prod her fingers together nervously.
"That's because Trinity kept talking about me turning you into them," he pointed out.
"No she didn't," and once again, his frustration grew at their complete denial of that event happening.
"I-if you plan to make me a 'sex slave'…" Lotsa spoke up and he found himself silently trying to process her demeanour, "can you at least refer to me as a concubine… and show me your shield again?"
He honestly didn't know how to respond to that request.
He had no intention of turning her into a concubine or sex slave or anything like that… but she was being rather accepting of the idea.
… then again, she had apparently decided to fully dedicate herself to him as a wife simply from a misinterpretation of his demand of subservience.
So perhaps she was actually looking forward to having a man in her life?
He wasn't going to make that assumption, it would simply be a theory until it was confirmed one way or another.
… it also raised the question of exactly why he seemed to attract the Overlord's daughters if what the younger daughter had said was anything to go by.
"Enough…" he declared as he rubbed his temples to ease the headache that was threatening to split his skull in two, "we have a war conference to hold."
"True," Alyssa admitted without delay.
"But we were just getting to the really juicy part!" Trinity cried out, earning a glare off him in response.
"Enough Trinity… we have more important matters to deal with," he stated firmly.
"'kay…" she seemed to deflate at that.
"Now… is there a table anywhere?" he asked, earning a nod off the horned princess.
"It's in the room on the right," she told him and he nodded in acknowledgement as he started to move towards the room at the side.
He just hoped everything went properly.
XXX The Fate Of A Hero Complex Overlord XXX
Shirou had to admit, the seat that had been assigned to him was most certainly comfortable.
Of course, the fact that it was at the head of the excessively large, rectangular table and the other end was currently unoccupied made it all feel far lonelier than he'd probably have expected… even with his newly formed 'council' also seated at the table.
"So what do you know about the Overlord's Youngest Daughter?" he decided to ask the most important question of them all given the current situation.
"She's a master of stealth," Alyssa spoke up without delay, "she's also pretty deadly when it comes to throwing knives at people."
"Honestly, simply hitting her in battle is nearly impossible," the silver haired girl stated with an annoyed pout.
"That's fine," he acknowledged, "I've got a way around her invisibility, so I'll deal with her myself."
That statement seemed to surprise the two people who already knew the other daughter.
"S-so then… what is this meeting about then?" Lotsa asked and he found himself releasing a sigh.
"… I think your sister might have a crush on me," he declared bluntly.
Silence reigned after that.
"Huh… I guess you'll aim to add her to your ever-expanding harem," Trinity broke the silence and Shirou found himself wanting to throttle the girl yet again, "does that mean you'll do both sisters at the same time?"
Shirou actually found himself amazed that he had already expected her to make a comment about that… it did go to show that even he could learn.
It didn't change the fact that he wanted to strangle her.
"W-w-what?" the older of the Overlord's daughters was clearly unsure of what to think about that if her wide eyed stuttering was anything to go by.
"Trinity… right now, I'm more concerned with whatever she's planning on doing," he stated firmly, "because she said something about having plans in place for me."
That was naturally the most worrying part.
Especially since he didn't know how long she'd been watching him.
He knew she had at the very least seen inside Unlimited Blade Works but that was all he could determine without more information.
The fact that she thought he enjoyed breaking her sister's will was the most worrying part.
It really spoke about how twisted she was that she seemed to have a crush on someone who she knew nearly killed her sister.
"… well…" Alyssa spoke with a frown of her own, "you're screwed."
He did not appreciate that opinion.
"Why are you saying that?" he asked with narrowed eyes.
"Because she's got a much stronger army than Lotsa did," the silver haired warrior stated without hesitation, "plus, she's actually stronger than me or Lotsa without her invisibility."
He frowned at that, obviously that meant that the only reason he had done as well as he had was because she had been caught off guard by his ability to overcome her stealth.
Meaning their next battle would be far less favourable for him.
"So what is she likely to do against me?" he asked, earning a thoughtful frown off his new foes sister.
"Well… if we knew what her goal was then we'd be better able to figure out her endgame," the 'captive' Princess stated with a hint of annoyance.
He really didn't want to have to admit this… but it was necessary given the situation.
He just knew Trinity wouldn't let him live it down.
"She seems to think I'm a Sadist and in denial about it," he told them, causing them all to blink, "she said she'd 'prove' to me that I am."
"… I got nothing," Alyssa was the first to speak and he found himself releasing another sigh of frustration at that.
"So… does that mean you are a sadist?" Trinity's voice cut in.
"No," he responded automatically, he wasn't in denial about being a sadist… he knew for a fact that he couldn't stand watching others suffer.
Sure, he was more than capable of cutting down foes but that was just something he did, he felt nothing from taking down those that needed to be taken down.
… perhaps that was the source of her misunderstanding.
Perhaps she mistook his ability to kill his emotions and do whatever is necessary as him being a closet sadist.
That sort of stupidity would be right up there in the sort of ridiculousness he had come to expect from this world.
"So… any ideas on what she might do?" he asked, causing the Former Princess to rub her chin in thought.
"… well… if it was me, I'd probably do one of two things," she started to say and he found himself listening carefully, "either send a lot of minions after you so you could kill them… or set up an elaborate trap designed to make you inflict suffering on an innocent in order to escape."
He honestly found himself focusing on the latter option.
If the goal was to try and prove to someone that they're a sadist, then forcing them to inflict pain on an innocent seemed like the more efficient method of doing so.
Which naturally resulted in the rather awkward matter of what he would do if he was forced to do something like that?
In the end there wasn't really any choice.
If he simply refused to do anything, then that would just cause further death and suffering throughout the Netherworld.
Meaning he would just have to go through with it if there was no way to get out without doing so.
He hoped he didn't end up in such a situation… but it wasn't impossible for him to end up with that issue.
"I see," he decided to simply acknowledge the possibility.
"What do you intend to do if you are put into that sort of position?" the voice of Adari cut in and he found himself facing it with a serious expression.
"If I end up trapped with no way out except to inflict pain on another," he spoke with his resolve in his tone, "then I will do so."
He hadn't expected Adari to smile in response to that.
The surprised expressions on the faces of Lotsa and Alyssa were far more anticipated… as was the completely oblivious expression on Trinity's face.
"I thought you said you were an Anti-Sadist?" the former princess spoke with a contemplative expression.
"It's more important to be around to stop the Overlo-" he started to say before remembering who he was talking to, "your father… if that means doing something I hate… then so be it."
Surprisingly, that seemed to draw a smile from the girl.
"Good," she proclaimed and he found himself blinking, "if you didn't have the conviction to do whatever it took to win, then I would have to re-evaluate my loyalty to you."
That made sense.
The idea of following someone who lacked conviction wasn't a particularly pleasant thought after all.
He just hoped he could put that conviction into action when the moment called for it.
"… all right," he spoke as he came to his decision on what they would do, "for now, I want people watching over the world, if there are any incidents then let me know."
"Of course Emiya-sama," the rest of the table responded immediately.
"While that is going on…" he spoke up, hoping what he was about to suggest was viable or not, "me, Trinity, Lotsa and Alyssa will be doing some more training in the item world."
He noted the surprised looks on everyone's faces as he finished his commands.
"… what?" he asked in confusion.
"You actually said my name," the Overlord's daughter pointed out and he grimaced, "you actually said my name without hesitating."
She suddenly looked somewhat happy.
"Does that mean you are happy with my performance in my duties to you so far?" she asked and he found himself glancing away as he remembered what she initially considered her place to be.
"W-well… you've definitely done more in the short time you've been here than anyone else," he admitted, earning a hopeful expression off the girl.
"Then can I receive a reward?" she asked and he found himself about to protest before his mind stalled.
There was something he would be able to give her.
"Do you have a bedroom here?" he asked before noting the way her face flushed in response.
"Oh! Are you going to use her now?" Trinity spoke and he found himself quickly punching her on the top of the head, "OW!"
"It has nothing to do with that," he declared bluntly, "I just think I have something I can give her but it'll have to go in her room."
She was proving herself so far… so he would give her a reward he was sure she'd appreciate.
He just needed to figure out how to keep Rho Aias active when hanging on a wall.

Meena Plotz was pissed.
Her invisibility was supposed to be impossible to see through and yet, Emiya Shirou had done so with ease.
While that only made him a more valuable find, it also meant her skill at remaining hidden wasn't as infallible as she had thought it to be.
Meaning she would have to identify exactly how he had seen through her skill (which he was unwilling to share with her), and then figure out how to overcome that flaw.
Then on top of that, she needed to finish setting up her tricks to try and get him to realise he was a sadist.
Once that was done… well, she might be able to take him to her father.
At which point one of four outcomes could happen.
The first, he would approve of Emiya as a candidate for her husband.
The second, he would disapprove of him and destroy him then and there.
The third, he would disapprove but fail to destroy him.
And the fourth and final outcomes… was that he wouldn't even remember who she was and it would all be pointless.
She was hoping for the first option, as if that happened then that would also mean she would own her big sister and have a bigger chunk of the army at her disposal… sure it would still only make up about a third of the army's numbers and less than a tenth of its strength, but it would be better than what she had right then.
It was all just a matter of getting Emiya to join her.
And that is all for now... hope you all enjoyed it.
Shadow out.
