Gudako was in dilemma. When she went to get ready she found 9 SQ. She had to make a hard choice. Go eat Emiya's amazing cooking. Or go to the summoning room to try her luck and pray to God that there would still be something left.
in the end the desire to summon won. On the way there she ran into the Doctor.
"Oh Fujimaru, weren't you supposed to be at the cafeteria" the doctor was holding a few boxes
"Nope I'm gonna try my hand at summoning Mo-Chan"
"Mo chan?"
"Modred. I already have everyone else from London summoned but Mo still evades me" she shook her hand in the air
"Ritsuka you do realize that you don't have to summon every servant you meet, right?" He asked
"Of course I do. They help me. That makes then basically family. And family stays together"
"You do make family easily…" he muttered
"What about you doc? You do realize you can look up porn online now so there's no need to go hide your physical stash"
Doctor Romani turned red and almost dropped his boxes
"Really Fujimaru, you really shouldn-, I do- these are medical records for the storage room if you must know"
Gudako gave him a playful nudge. It was really fun to tease him. And his reactions were even more enjoyable
"I'm just messing with you Doc, I know you're devoted to magi mari" she playfully added
"Want to go together, the storage room is right next to the summoning room"
Romani nodded
On the way there Gudako stopped to talk to servant who were going about there day
"Hey master, its archer training field tomorrow, let's crush them"
"Hell yeah" she gave Cu a high five
"Mongrel I demand that you not pair me up with that cursed red archer anymore"
"I'll have to talk with Gudao about that King Gilgamesh but I'll see what I can do"
"Where is anchin sama?" a young girl of 14 asked
"First of all kiyohime calm that look on you're face, as for Gudao he was in the library last I checked" she lied
Kiyohime ran in that direction
Romani watched her
"You and you're brother really do get along with all these servants"
Gudako thoughtfully nodded
"As I said. I think of them as my family. Yeah some of them might be conquerors murderer but I'm happy when im around them, they make me feel like I belong, cliche as that might sound"
She had a sad look on her
"I wish these days wouldn't end" she whispered under her breath
Doctor Romani pretend he didn't hear
Inside the summoning room Gudako got the summoning catalyst read. She had err borrowed some of Arthurias hair for extra measure.
"Here goes nothing" she said
She smashed the sain quartz into the summoning circle. The orbs began o circle it, quickly spinning.
Gudako held her breath and…
"Black keys, great"
She sighed
"Okay 2nd try"
Again she smashed them
The orbs started spinning again. Lights cracked. Slowly something began to take shape. When the fog cleared there was a bowl of mapo tofu on the floor
"Well at least dinner is guaranteed"
Gudako was visibly firststed. She wasn't even getting any servants. Even with Athruira's hair. Was it not enough.
Think. She had to go inside Modred's mind for her to answer her summons
A lightbulb clicked. It might be stupid but it was worth a try.
Again she smashed them. But this time she shouted
"FATHER MAKE ME KING"
Outside Robin Hood turned in the other direction and walked away
"God I feel stupid" she mumbled
But she looked up. Rainbow orbs? She held her breath
Slowly a person started to materialize
A person in read stepped out
"I am Saber, name's Mordred.
Is my father here?"
Gudako squealed and leapt to her for a hug
"You came Moe chan"
Modred looked surprised
"Hey wait, Gudako?" Sh peered into her face and a huge grin broke out
"Why I'll be, can't believe ya summoned me." She thumped her on the back
"Of course I did. I promised didn't I"
"Now come on I need to give you a tour of this place"
Modred was astounded at the magical technology of if the place. She grinned at the training simulator and wanted to try it out. Gudako promised on Lancer day. She almost took out her sword when Hans did his usual complimentary critique he was so fond of
Finally they arrived at the cafeteria
"Well you're in luck today, Mamamiyas cooking and makes the best food" she went to walk into the cafeteria but stopped when she saw Modred didn't follow
"Whats wrong Moe?" She asked
Modred looked hesitant
"I can't tell my Fathers in their, and well I don't know how ill face him, I thought I was past it but it still….."
Gudako nodded
"You know something Moe?"
Modred looked at her
"There are enemies inside right now. People who hated each other when they were alive. And perhaps even killed each other. Friends turned enemies. Wife stealers and the people who's wives they've stolen. And you know what there doing?"
"Fight each other to the death" Modred tried to guess
"No there sitting together eating happily? You know why"
Modred went silent for a while
"There are bigger things to worry about" she finally said with an enlightened look
"Correct, well that and good food, you can save anything with good food" she Modred. "Look Modred, I'm not disregarding your past with your father. There might be some feelings and I know those feelings cant be resolved in one day. But the hero's we have summoned. They come from all walks of life. But yet they al have one goal. Svee humanity. For the first time we have people of different backgrounds, countries, alignments all working together peacefully- wellcas peacefully as they could. And besides" she grinned
"If you still have an axe to grind you can always use the training simulator later"
Modred clapped her on the back
"Thanks master. Didn't know you were one for giving speeches, thought that was your brothers forte. You almost looked wise for a sec"
"Hey,me be wise when me want to be"
They both laughed and walked into the cafeteria
Modreds introduction went smoother then expected. Arthuria nodded at her respectfully. Modred was shocked she gave a nod back. Of course Gudako didn't expect tears and hugs especially from those two. But It was nice to know they could put there differences aside and work together
Modred gave a first bumps to Frank and smacked Hyde hard on the back while she went to sit with them
Gudako finally got eat. She was famished
Luckily Emiya was still coming
"Hey mama give me some food I'm starving"
Emiya signed
"Master again. Don't call me Mama, and say please and thank you next time or I'm not giving you any food"
"Eek I'm sorry. Please may I have some food esteemed Archer servant of mine"
Emiya smiled and out the bowl of udon down
"Thank you" she said as she hungrily scuffed it down.
As expected bis food was delicious. It wasn't just that. There was a tate of familiarity to it. Like something she had long forgotten. It wasn't only the food she felt that from. She felt a sort of comfort around Emiya. A sort of nostalgia. But she didn't know what it was. But what she did know sue felt really comfortable around him
As Gudako finished off her last bites she saw her brother and Mashu at a table with Arash, Mata Hari and Billy. Both of them were laughing together
"Ahhh stupid dense brother"
"You say something master" Emiya asked
"Hey Emiya, now much hints does a girl have give before a guy gets it"?
There was a silence
"Well I wouldn't know myself of course but some people are as dense as blackhole" Emiya had a farway look on his face. As If remembering something unpleasant
"I see what you mean. Take my stupid brother for instance. Half the female
servants of chaldea and some of the Male servants too I think are in love with yet he is so oblivious"
She took a sip of water
"And then there is Mashu, she has feelings for him but the poor girl doesn't seem to notice herself. How can you expect my dense brother to notice"
Emiya put down his pan
"Master you cant force love. They need to figure these things out themselves. Love is a great thing, it can save people if its true. But you have to remember that even it can turn ugly fast if it's not in it's natural course"
He was right. Gudako knew that. Still she wished she could shut them in a damn room till they were honest with their feelings
"If I ever like someone I'm gonna grab them by the shoulders look them straight in the face and tell them"
"Well be sure to introduce them" Emiya said with a smile
Gudako got up
"Of course Mama"
She quickly ran away she heard Emiya sighing even louder.
