Chapter 8: Side Stories (4)
"Man...that OP for Volume 8 RWBY was awesome!" The voice cheered. "Can't wait for the rest of the season to play out."
"What are you talking about." A voice belonging to Guadako said as she looked confused. "Actually, what is RWBY?" Oh, right. He spoke out loud. Eh, whatever.
"Just a little thing I watch when I'm not here." The voice just commented.
"But...you're always here?" Ritsuka pointed out, as how would the voice even have any time to leave. He's been with them since the beginning, having never once left. The voice didn't care.
"Moving on." The voice then turned on the movie screen. Which turned on ready to show the next world. "It's time to see another set of short stories of you guys and your happy times...or me showing embarrassing stuff about you."
"Please don't." Billy the Kid says.
"Too bad!" The voice laughed. "But don't worry, not all of you would be embarrassed."
"That's a relief." Lancelot smiled.
"After all, a good chunk of you aren't considered popular to be made fun of." The voice then revealed the harsh truth. How in other worlds (fanmade-stories), many Servants didn't even have their own appearance in such things. Only the more popular ones had little fanmade comics.
A few Servants feeling a bit hurt at that reveal.
"Is that a good thing...or bad thing?" Medea (Lily) asked her aunt Circe.
"On one hand those who don't make the cut aren't humiliated," Circe pointed out, before her expression fell a bit. "On the other hand, it makes it seem like you aren't important." And everyone wanted some attention. Even that NEET in the bat themed hoodie wanted some interaction.
"Yep." The voice then continued on from that. "Some of you are famed in this thing we call a world, others, not so much." Though it did make him feel bad for a few Servants like that. Placed in the game, used a bit, then thrown aside for the better ones. The voice himself is guilty of that and having no regret for it. But that's what life is. Being unfair.
"Now then, before we continue. I should say this." The voice then says with everyone looking at the position of the voice's er, voice. "This next scene will be embarrassing. On that you can trust me on."
"Of course it is." Da Vinci shakes her head. Worse. She did believe the voice.
"Yeah. Embarrassing for the two Masters." Now that caught the two Masters' attention.
"Eh." They both said. While also being alert and getting a sense of a dark chill on them. The type made them fear what was about to happen. A good feeling, since that was about to happen.
"Now then," the voice said with no mercy. "On with the show." The two Masters of Chaldea instantly felt dread.
Guado ½
It was a fine day at Chaldea, where today was the day recruitments were gathered. One in particular was now meeting two members of Chaldea to review him. To see if he would be a good member of their organization, which was experiencing no trouble at the moment.
Unfortunately most of the assigned people who spoke with the Master candidates were busy, leaving one person out. As such, only two people could talk to him at the moment.
"Ugh," One of them was Olga, leader of Chaldea, who looked frustrated at this candidate. By her side is Romani, and the person they are interviewing is an attentive Ritsuka Fujimaru, or sometimes Guado as his nickname.
So interviews start.
"This...doesn't seem so bad." And Ritsuka hoped it stayed that way.
"For now." His sister wasn't as optimistic. Instead just wondering if she should conjure some earplugs and a blindfold. Because whatever they were about to see, wouldn't be good she bet.
As for Mash, she sighed as she then saw two familiar faces. Two people she knew before she met the Masters.
Roman and Olga.
'It's...nice to see them again.' She thought as she recalled the memories of both of them. Roman helping her out, and Olga doing her best to run Chaldea. Two people that were now gone from her life, because of the cruel hand of fate.
The latter by her closest friend turned demon, and the former by wiping himself from existence, to help them. Mash has moved on, but she's fully aware that just because she's moved on, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. With even the voice saying he couldn't bring back Roman and…
'...Did he...ever mention anything about Olga..?' Mash's eyes slowly widened, as the voice never mentioned anything about Olga at all. Not once did he say he couldn't bring her back. Just Roman.
Gulping, Mash decided to take the chance. "Um. Mr Voice."
"Hm. Yeah." The voice looks at Mash who quivers. "Well, what is it?"
"Um. I was just wondering," Ritsuka and Guadako looked at Mash, feeling something was off with her. As she seemed nervous.
"Wondering." The voice asked, wanting to get this over with.
Mash swallowed, and then just decided to ask, "C-can you bring Miss Olga back?"
Ritsuka and Guadako's eyes widened as their mouth opened. That's right, Olga! She...she could be saved. It made the duo sibling feel ashamed to have not thought of this, but maybe, just maybe, Olga could be saved. Recalling the horror that was her death. Even Da Vinci winced as she had forgotten about the former director, but also looked a bit hopeful.
"Her huh." The voice mused. Recalling her current position. "Well, her situation is tricky, but not nearly as bad as Roman's." She still existed after all. Just in a tormented state because of that Demon God bastard did to her. However, the problem with her was that she was in possession of that thing. "I can technically get her."
"Can you. Please." Mash said loudly with the Servants rather invested in thi to. Having heard what happened to Olga, which wasn't a pretty death.
On one hand, the voice would rather not as he'd have to deal with the being who had Olga's body. On the other hand, it'd give him an excuse to read a story he just bought. So…
"Eh. Sure, whatever." The voice said. "Give me some time and I'll get her body."
A smile came on Mashs face, with Guadako and Ritsuka also feeling joy with Da Vinci looking just as happy as Mash. It would seem Olga could come back.
"You guys continue watching, and I'll be back later. Bye." Then like that, the voice was gone. With many looking a bit glad that former Director Olga would soon be returning, but until then, they decided to just watch the show. Though a few Servants did conjure up some celebration food for later when Olga did return.
"It's that commoner." Olga crossed her arms and looked away. "Why did someone like you get chosen?"
Roman was also the same. While not as blunt or rude, he didn't recall anything special of this candidate. So he asked, "I don't see anything special about his magic affinity. You, do you have a special ability or something?"
"Hmmm, I don't really know." Ritsuka admits sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head. "But if you want an ability or something different," Ritsuka then put both hands on his hips and thrust his lower half just a bit forward. "Then it's my SEX DRIVE."
Ritsuka's jaw dropped and were it possible, his eyes would have popped out of their sockets.
His sister turned green yet also red because she couldn't decide whether to laugh or throw up.
Mash was just embarrassed, and certain Servants like Fergus and Blackbeard gave Ritsuka a thumbs up with a toothy smile.
It was then Ritsuka added, "I can do fifty people everyday, easy."
EMIYA Archer gave a slight gasp. Okay, that was impressive.
Cu Lancer and even his teacher Scathach gave a nod of approval.
Jeanee D'Arc simply fell over with her eyes spinning.
Atlanta gulped with Medea herself flinched.
Fergus just gave the shocked Ritsuka a manly hug for his alternative version following his footsteps, with other male Servants also being largely amazed by this achievement while the females either were grossed out or embarrassed by such an amazing human
What a man.
Olga and Romani were more than a bit surprised, both taking a step back.
"Se-!?" Without realizing it, Olga hugged her chest and looked embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Romani just stared in shock and amazement while saying, "Fifty!? Now that's a fine special ability! It's so special, you might have to be sealed."
As Mash leaned back while red with Fou rubbing her to get her functioning, Ritsuka was unmoving while his sister looked at him. So this was the embarrassing part the voice mentioned.
While she normally would laugh, the voice said both would be embarrassed. Meaning...what will happen to her?
After a few seconds, Roman regained composure. Olga on the other hand, was bent down with both hands on her head repeating, "Se-Sex. Waaah."
She wasn't used to that word.
"I see." Roman then says. "It does look like you can keep up with the mana-transfer for huge amount of Servants." There was a problem however. "But its not only female Servants, there are male ones too…"
Instead of looking concerned, Ritsuka smiled. "Aah! That's not a problem."
"Can it be you play for both sides?" Roman fearfully says while grabbing himself tight, believing his chastity was in danger.
"No, well, I am both sides." Ritsuka ominously says, but realizes this explanation won't work. He then grabs his collar and says, "I guess it's faster to show than explain…"
As he did this, Roman just looked scared wondering just what was about to happen.
Here, Ritsuka then declared one thing. "Sex MODE change SWITCH! HOI~!" Then like that he spun around and when he stopped, his uniform had changed to a female one. His hair turned orange. Not to mention he had a rather bountiful chest.
"...Eh?" Mash went as she saw Senpai...turn to Senpai?
"Ugh!"
"Gla!"
Meanwhile, both Masters were throwing up in conjured bags as they just saw what had happened. Ritsuka turned into...Guadako...While it was certainly embarrassing, the implications also severely grossed them out. As such, they would be rather out of it for a while.
"Wha!?" Naturally, both Olga and Roman were severely shocked by this display. No magecraft or some psychic ability. Just...something!
As for the gender changed Guadako, she just smiled at the both of them. "I can change my gender whenever I want, just like this."
"What's up with that!?" Roman just shouted with Olga behind him. "So you did have a special ability after all! We can set this person to be sealed, right?!"
The screen went dark.
"Gender change huh." A certain French Spy with long blonde hair and masculine combined with feminine clothes said. "Eh." They then shrugged. "Not that special."
"Yeah right!" Cu Lancer shot back at them. "Maybe not powerful or super strong, but that's still weird."
"To turn from one gender to another." Medea sighed. "I suppose that does give..options."
"Options I'm not sure I wanna think about." Sieg shivered.
"I thought it was...nice…" Mash glanced at a recovering Ritsuka and Guadako. Feeling interested in the world where her Masters had become one.
"I liked it." Naturally, Da Vinci enjoyed the show. A few of the more...gender ambiguous Servants also didn't mind it. Though now that it was done, this did leave a question.
"So...are we done?" Billy the kid asked, as the voice was no longer heard. Did this mean it was now over.
"I don't think so." Merlin smirked as suddenly the screen went on. "The voice must have put it on some automatic control."
"I just hope it isn't like the last one." Ritsuka muttered.
"Oh yeah. Did not need to see that." His sister followed in agreement. I mean, she didn't mind gender-bender manga. But to see her bro turn to her was just...yikes!
Maybe this next one will get their minds out of it.
Chiron and his experience with Artemis-sensei & Cat girl and Horse man reminiscing about their greek goddess sensei…
"Uh double huh." Cu Lancer grinned. "This should be good."
"..." Meanwhile, both Chiron and Atalanta gulped.
"Yay!" Artemis naturally just cheered while Orion groaned.
It was a fine day in Chaldea, where inside the holographic training room Chiron is training for a bit. While doing so, Guadako then came looking interested about something. Particularly how earlier he trained a few people, making her curious about him.
"You sure are great at teaching, Chiron-sensei." She complimented. "Did someone teach you in the past perhaps?"
"Huh. You don't know who he was trained by?" Babbage asked Guadako who just scratched her head.
"Well, uh...you do realize there's a lot of you historical figures here." Guadako started, with her brother then taking the next step.
"Not to mention we weren't exactly history readers, so…..yeah."
In other words, they had very little knowledge on the Servants themselves up until they joined Chaldea. They had to learn the hard way, and even then they didn't know everything about the Servants historical lives. Only what they either read or were told by the Servants themselves.
"I suppose that makes sense." Mash agreed with the two. "Even living here all my life, I only read the basics of most Servants. Not their entire history." Only a few did she really know about, and that was limited to the most famous like Hercules or Achilles. Everybody else, a bit tougher as they either weren't as famous, or not well known in places that weren't there country.
"Well then," Chiron smiled, not minding if the Masters didn't know his full past. "Get ready to see a bit of my past." Even if it was a...tough time back then.
As Guadako said those words, Chiron smiled as he remiscided of the past. Thinking of his old teacher from long ago.
It was a normal day. Chiron was doing some training, and was doing rather well. Little did he know however, a certain Goddess saw this training and thought he could be better if he had some...help.
In a flash of light Chiron turned around and saw...Lady Artemis!?
"Ah. Good times." Artemis said joyfully.
"Good time." Her lover Orion snapped back. "You just came to him from nowhere and instantly declared yourself his teacher."
"Wait. What?" Atalanta looked at Chiron who gave a strained smile. Meeting Artemis did help improve himself, but how she came so suddenly was...off.
"Howdy!" Artemis instantly introduced herself, to Chirons shock. "The Goddess of Hunting Artemis is here!"
"Eh-" Chrin started to say, but couldn't as Artemis continued on.
"How to get good at Archery: Tip No. 1! Throw away your common sense!"
"Eh-" Chrin tried saying once more, only to again be interrupted by the Goddess.
"Also, let me give you one nice little hint!" She came closer to Chiron who was barley even able to process this unnatural meeting of immortals. "You don't actually need an arrow to shoot with a bow!" She then ridiculously said with once more Chiron saying the same thing.
"Eh-" Then again being interrupted.
"You sure don't listen to others." Orion deadpans. In response, he felt his little cheeks being pulled. "Owowowowowow!"
"Let's get right to practice." Artemis then declared without Chirons consent.
"Eh-"
Artemis then sent numerous beams of light at a dummy doll that disturbingly looked like a little bear as it was hit with it. "Look, look!" Arteis called out. "Amazing, isn't it!?"
At this point, Chion finally had the courage, and some process power, to ask something other than 'Eh'. "Pardon me, but...how did you do that…"
His answer was one thing. "Instinct!"
"Eh-"
"You can do it too, Chiron-Chan!" Artemis then gave a wink and a peace sign.
"Eh-"
Those nearby Chiron gave him pats on the back, with the Greek teacher accepting it. Those days were...tough. Worth it, but tough. And a bit mind breaking.
Artemis meanwhile continued speaking despite Chiron unable to handle all of this information with her saying, "The Gods have foretold that one day you can shoot a targeting beam right off a constellation! So have more confidence."
"H-How can I possibly do that?" Chiron asked, unaware that he can do it...after he dies. "Would you please explain it a better way…!"
Instead all he got was, "First you have to pray and shoot 10,000 arrows a day!"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH?"
Back in reality, Chiron only told Guadako this. "I was a student of a certain Goddess…"
Guadako smiled. "Perhaps that certain Goddess is also here in Chaldea."
Once more, Chiron said the same line he said all those years ago. "Eh?"
"Yes...those were the days." Chiron smiled. Tough days. Crazy days. And sometimes absurd days.
But Lady Artemis taught him well. Even if it was tough getting used to her...personality, it was all worth it. As her teaching made him an even better teacher. Thus she had his respect and pride for her.
"Ah, such good memories." Artemis says before looking at Chiron. "How about I teach you my next technique. The jumping action arrow punch!?"
"..." Chiron then looked away, and back at the screen. "We are watching this so...another day…" Or never.
"Well that was a thing." Billy the Kid chuckled.
"Yeah. Guess it was." Achilles always thought he had tough training. But looks like his old teacher may have had it worse. He respected Artemis, but yikes. Talk about out-of-the-box training. No doubt his teacher had trouble comprehending his own teachers' methods.
The screen then turned on to feature the second one.
As the title said it involved Artemis and obviously Chiron. Cat girl...well, many had a good guess who it is.
Chiron had soon left the training area and began taking a nice stroll. However, on his way was Atalanta. A young and strong will-edwoman who is one of Chaldeas best Archer Class Servants.
One who looked at Chiron and instantly made an unpleasant face. As thanks to Chaldea, she recalled that one war she was in with him in it.
"Right, that war." Sieg remembered with the other Apocrypha Servants also recalling that war. Boy was that one crazy. Heck, even more crazy was that Darnic was actually-in a weird way-alive somehow. What a strange event.
As Chiron just looked at her, after a minute of awkward staring, he then spoke. "Is something the matter…?"
"Don't tell me that you've forgotten!" Atalanta angrily said, as she recalled the time when she nearly shot Frankentein dead. Only for Chiron to stop her arrow. "How dare you shoot down my arrows back then..I'll pay you back next time, an eye for an eye. Got it?"
"Someone's a bit prideful." Medea teased Atalanta who huffed a bit.
"Maybe a little." The Archer whispered, admitting that she did sometimes got to prideful While she wasn't trying tolook down on Chiron's skill in the bow, usually she had perfect skill in it. Thus when he shot down her arrow, admittingly she felt some of her pride take a hit.
She may need to quell that part of her down.
Atalanta still kept going. Saying, "And I don't know where you learned that petty trick, but you'd better not-"
Before she could continue, Chiron then stopped her. "Hold on." He told her seriously. "Please don't go any further Miss Atalanta. We don't want to cause any misunderstandings."
"Huh?" Atalanta angrily says, wondering if he was just upset at having his skill insulted.
Instead, Chiron responded with a sentence that shocked her. "My Archer Master was Lady Artemis."
"..." For a moment Atalanta thought of nothing. A second later, his words began making sense, as she knew who Artemis was. A Goddess who saved her, raised her after the bears, and taught her her skills. Being her patron Goddess.
In an instant she then realized that by insulting Chiron skills...wouldn't that mean she insulted Artemis.
Her face then changed to that of near despair upon that realization, with her cat ears now down in utter shame.
"Don't worry Atalanta." Artemis, now next to the cat girl who looked down, hugged her. "I don't blame you."
"Yeah kid." Orion patted Atalanta on the cheek with Artemis doing the same. "Don't think to hard on it."
Click.
Meanwhile, Guadako took a picture of this adorable scene of the three Servants with Atalanta looking conflicted by all this.
As Atalanta now realized what she said, she shook and said, "I-I...What have I…?"
Luckily, Chiron didn't seem to blame her. Instead lifting her spirits and told Atalanta. "Don't worry! You were just trying to say that my skill with the bow could still use some more work. Am I right?"
"Oh. Yeah, that's right." Atalanta accepted Chirons words while also mentally telling herself not to let her pride get in the way again. Now thinking a bit more clearly and not letting old grudges get in the way of comradeship. Especially since she was now meeting another Servant who trained under her patron Goddess.
"But still, you learned from Lady Artemis herself…" Atalanta then said, a bit surprised. "No wonder you're quite skilled…" She then looked at a fellow student of Artemis and asked, "How was it when she taught you?"
At that moment, Chiron then remembered his...training. "I'm afraid I cannot describe it."
Atalanta stared in shock...then understood it all with a nod. As she herself began recalling her own training. "I understand." She replied. The two then looking at the other Servants from that one war, who were enjoying themselves.
"We had it tough..." Chiron chuckled.
"Yeah…"
Just like that, the two Servants and students of Artemis watched on, while feeling thor kind but goofy Goddess Artemis watched over them strangely.
"Boo." Artemis puffed her cheeks. "Why does it feel like people think of me as an airhead?"
Orion sighed but patted Artemis on her face, cheering her up a bit. "Eh. Being seen as wise is overrated anyway."
"Ah. Darling." Artemis hugged Orion who reluctantly accepted it.
Meanwhile, both Chiron and Artemis looked at one another.
"...Want to train later." Chiron asked.
"Heh. Why not." Atalanta didn't mind. If anything, it'd be nice to battle a fellow student of Artemis.
"I wonder if this is all now." Da Vinci then said, as with the voice gone, they had no idea if they were going to watch anything else. Let aside figure out if or when the voice will return. Though her answer came when the screen turned on once more. "Looks like it really is on some automatic playback."
"Probably might be the last one though." Ritsuka says while chewing on some chips. "At least for the moment."
"I wonder if it'll show another Servant though." Guadako says.
It was then the title was then shown.
Graduating Senpai
"Oh. Or a school thing." Guadako replies, as graduating usually meant school. "Wait...huh?"
"A school!" Astolfo says. "Oh. A school uniform. Maybe I can look good in that." The Paladin grins, thinking of such a fine wear. Ah. Girl uniforms were so much better than male ones.
"I would look good in such a uniform." Da Vinci also agreed, thinking she'd look beautiful in anything.
"Same." Both Ishtar, and Ereshkigal said at the same time. "Eh?" Then both stared at one another before growling.
"..." EMIYA remembered his time in the school uniform. What boring but good old days.
It was a normal day here in Chaldea Academy. Such fine memories. But all good things must come to an end, as Ritsuka Fujimaru was now leaving this school for good. Having at last graduated with no regrets. A smile plastered on his face.
"Hey." Guadako frowned. "Why is it that most worlds feature you?" Because she realized that a lot of these worlds always featured her brother, with her barley in them.
"Huh." Ritsuka also realized this. "I don't actually know."
"Maybe we can ask the voice when he returns senpai." Mash tells Guadako who nods. That voice better have some answers.
As Ritsuka thought of those wonderful days at school, suddenly he heard a familiar voice.
"Senpai!" It was none other than Mash, who had heard of the graduation and rushed to meet Ritsuka.
"Mash!" Ritsuka looked happy to see her.
"You don't look bad in uniform Mash." Da Vinci teased the Demi-Servant who blushed.
"D-Do I?" Mash asked embarrassingly.
"Of course." Da Vinci thought so. "And, don't you think Ritsuka looks fine as well?"
"U-uh, w-w-well." Yes. Yes he did. Not that she could say it of course. Not to mention some joy was in her eyes, as clearly in this world she and her Senpais-if Guadako was even there-didn't have to worry about saving the world. Instead it appeared as if it was a normal world with her being a student in a human school.
That sounded nice.
Mash huffed as she was tired from the running. Saying, "I-I had to put things away, sorry I'm late!"
"Must be taught to be an undergrad." Ritsuka joked as he walked in front of Mash.
The young girl then slowly got her bearings, and asked, "Um, senpai, congratulations on graduating."
"Yes. Thank you Mash." Ritsuka happily responded.
Mash herself, still a bit tired, recalled all the memories she had with Ritsuka. "It was a short time, but I really owe you so much." When he helped her out when she first came to this school. "I don't even know where to start, my thoughts are such a mess…"
"...Mash." Ritsuka then said, as the wind blew by them. "Now that I've graduated, I no longer have any ties to the school." The wind blew once more, and Mash looked up as her Senpai then said his final piece to her. "I'm not your senpai anymore."
"..." Mash felt herself stop breathing for a moment, with Ritsuka and Guadako wincing. It wasn't like the alternative Ritsuka said anything wrong...but…
"So…" Ritsuka continued, now knowing what his words' effects had on Mash. "Just call me Ritsuka. Okay?"
For a moment Mash stayed silent, as she couldn't believe what she heard. Her face turned red, her eyes spinning, why, she felt worse than when she ran all the way here earlier.
Yet what he said did make sense. I mean, he's graduating. Meaning he really was no longer her...her...Senpai.
"Uu...That's…" Ritsuka watched her, as Mash tried to say that one word. "Ri...Ritsu-...tsu…" Unfortunately, Mash couldn't just say it. Instead only feeling sorrow as tears began running down her own eyes. "Uwaaahhh!" She cried out behind her glasses, as tears streamed down her face. "That's not possible!"
It was then she went right at him and hugged him tight while sobbing into his chest. "Senpai is Senpai! Don't graduate!"
Nearby, a few of Ritsuka's friends laughed with one girl calling out to him saying, "Hey Ritsuka, stop going around making girls cry."
"Okay~" Ritsuka responds before turning to Mash and patting her onto the shoulder. Sorry, sorry, that was mean of me. I'll still be your senpai Mash."
Even if he did graduate, he will always be by her side.
'Yep. Always.' Ritsuka smiled. Even though unlike this world, danger loomed compared to their parallels that have a school life, he enjoyed every second with Mash, his sister, and all the other Servants. Guadako feeling the same, while Mash blushed at how the other Senpai would still be with her.
The screen then turned off, where a timer then showed thirty minutes which then began counting down. In other words, a small break.
"I suppose I can use this time for a nap." Waver says as he leans back, with Gray conjuring a blanket for him.
"Oy. Maybe a small fight." Cu Lancer looks at Beowulf who got up in agreement. Who says a man needs weapons. Good old fists can do just as fine.
"The voice blocked most of our powers, but not our ability to decipher." Merlin says as he leans down to the ground and began studying what he could sense was some unknown energy of sorts. "This should be fun."
"I just wish to test the limits of the conjuring power we've been given." Babbage says while summoning things to make a few tests. Wanting to see just what exactly were the limits of this strange pocket dimension.
"I suppose I'll also join in on this fight." Scathach then got up and cracked her knuckles. "Been too long since I last fought with just my own two hands."
"I suppose practicing with hand-to-hand combat isn't so bad." EMIYA Archer nodded figuring even as a Servant, he can gain experience still with training.
"Ah yeah!" Achilles joined in on the fun. "Time for a good arm-wrestling." He then looked at Atalanta. "Hey, wanna go at it?"
"Nah." Atalanta tells him while she, Chiron, Billy the Kid, and some other Archer Servants like Chloe and Orion going to join in on the archery contest. "I believe the others and I will just have a little practice."
"Yes. May as well use this good time to write some stories and poems." Shakespear chuckled. With him and the other literary Servants using this time for good old worlds were certainly good for giving them all sorts of ideas. It was wonderful! Why, they bet they could make some neat stories and songs.
Thus there was no time to waste.
Next chapter will be a fanfiction involving the weakest Servant of them all. Gotta admit, I was surprised when I saw this story since most people don't bother with Avenger. It's a pretty good one in my opinion.
Also, prepare for the return of Olga. Gosh I hope she's okay when FGO is over.
