Double-DecaKiva-DenBlades: nope, I still have no plans adding other extra class Servants, Ritsuka will have a fixed no. of Servants here in DAL universe for now. Anyways, thank you for your review.
loop2: Why not?
Chapter 30: The Benign
Luckily, the island has an infirmary and Circe guided him toward the area where it was located. She also admitted that she had become a bit adventurous when the last time they met after landing on the airport. This is Circe's alibi by the way, since she used her scrying orb to locate the infirmary with ease since this is a modest island.
As expected, the Spirit twins followed them, while still clutching to Shidou's elbow all the way until their way to the hopsital. Also, they are very wary of Circe; Kaguya, since she's the emotional of the twins, was giving her a suspicious stare, Yuzuru on the other hand, was giving a cold vibes everytime she glanced toward Circe. Of course, Circe completely ignore them in favor of making the atmosphere more favorable and light.
Circe has already prepared mystic codes that would muffle her Heroic Spirit nature several folds. However, Circe has a fleeting suspicion that they can still identify her nature based on their reaction.
Shidou was still inside of a private room and for the first time, she was alone with Tohka and Reine. Kaguya and Yuzuru waited outside the private room as well as Circe herself. Caster has already informed of the ridiculous situation and stated that she should continue observing them for a meantime.
Why? Ritsuka was busy with Mashu, as well as Ishtar and Ereshkigal. Caster was a little jealous for them. They are having a tour around the Arubi Island.
Reine was the one who first responded to his situation. Fortunately, Yuzuru and Kaguya's situation were still unknown to the rest of the class so that's why Reine has still some time to formulate an excuse for them; typically, that they are a transfer student on the spot for Tamae later on.
Of course, they didn't inform Circe about this but the Witch already knew it.
The twin Spirit really wanted to follow Shidou inside the private room and continue their challenge but for some reason, the individual name Circe was an obstacle for them, even though she was just sitting idly by the door. Oh, by the way, they have the freedom to enter the room without any repercussion as they believed but they felt something bad will happen and Circe would be responsible for it. Both the twins felt the same way.
As if Circe would challenge them right away and show off her astounding abilities or all of it were just their imagination. Better not test the theory.
In the end they sat at the opposite end of Circe, facing the witch.
"I know you are a Spirit, trust me! My eye of Sauron does not lie…" Kaguya begun talking as she smirked like an arrogant villain and Circe barely listened to her, for the witch's mind was busy as usual. When she noticed that Kaguya's mouth was moving when she caught it within her periphal sight.
"Pardon?"
"*tsk*… ha! You can't repeat what I'm trying to say." Kaguya was agitated when Circe wasn't listening to her and tried to make some sort of strange rebuttal.
Circe meanwhile just tilted her head in confusion and blinked twice, its as if she was trying to listening to someone who was alien. What's worse is that she needed to pretend to.
"Explanation. We suspect that you are powerful entity."
Circe just squinted her eyes as she judged them. It seemed that they somehow indeed knew what she is but there isn't enough evidence to point it out.
"Spirits…? Hmm, I get the gist of it… the two of you are roleplaying, isn't it?" Circe said as she kept on tapping her chin like a detective. She somehow got it from Sherlock Holmes.
"W-what? No! What I've said is true!" Kaguya insisted as she kept on gripping her fist. Circe certainly has the talent in making others furious for a low-levelled reason. Circe this time was the one who was smirking now while Kaguya was angry. Yuzuru, who remained observant throughout the conversation, was quiet but felt a little agitate, not enough to pick a fight with Circe. The twins were too wise and clever to pick a fight with someone who has an experience.
"Anyways, you can't steal our Shidou!" Kaguya pointed out aggressively at Circe. "Correct. If you have feelings for our Shidou, you will face us first." Yuzuru added. Circe indeed has no intention of stealing Shidou from them. Why would she.
"You are really serious about this, the both of you…? Of course, I have no feelings for him if that's what you want to hear." Circe assured them.
Eventually, Shidou opened the door and went outside the room, his face was somehow unreadable but at least Tohka was ok. Circe could catch a glance inside the room. All of what the twins and Circe talking were forgotten immediately.
"Is she alright?" Circe asked Shidou just for assurance.
Shidou just nodded and smiled before her.
After that, Reine emerged out of the room, her hands dugged into her lab. Whatever they were talking about inside the room it seemed that they were already finished. Of course, Circe gave respect to their privacy and never indulge anymore when its connected to the twins this time. Its more fun guessing what they are trying to do with the twins and she guessed that Shidou might have to date them. He really has no choice but to became creative in this situation. At least, the twin didn't hate him.
Reine urge the twin inside of the room for a moment, which they happily obliged. Upon entering, Reine immediately closed the door. Whatever their business is, Shidou has no business with them for a while. The twin gave Circe a smug grin, especially Kaguya. Their contentment was really shallow.
When Circe noticed this, she turned toward Shidou. "It seemed that your new friends were… unique in the sense."
"Well, I don't blame you though." Shidou just scratched the back of his head.
"They are also aggressive in trying to win your affection, Shidou."
"You are really blessed Shidou." Circe clapped her hands once. "May you be blessed furthermore along the journey…have fun." And she prayed him.
"Just… don't make it a reality." Shidou thinks that what happened to him was a curse and he hoped whatever Circe prayed to him will not come to life.
"I'll be on my way, Shidou." Circe eventually left them on their own as she waves her hand at him as she walks away. Shidou also waved him back and waited by the seat.
It seemed that whatever Reine will tasked him, it will be take a long day.
Ereshkigal, Ishtar and Mashu where having a tour around the island. Ereshkigal was the one who was capturing the photos around the island. Even the most mundane that they could ever see, Ereshkigal didn't waste capturing its moment, much to her sister Ishtar chagrin. Mashu also enjoyed being in the company with the twin Goddess, especially with Ereshkigal. Back at the Chaldea anyway, Georgios has thaught her how to use a camera and it seemed that the Goddess of the
Ishtar was the one in charge of talking with the locals, for she has the most innocous tongue of them. She can easily talk to the locals with ease, as expected of a benevolent Goddess, while being supplied with her Charisma. Of course, she redacted everything that is related to being Goddess. This still doesn't prevent her from interacting with the locals.
The locals are very friendly and Mashu wondered why the class didn't even try to talk with them.
It's the sudden schedule of their arrival, even the locals where surprised that they have this large class to be catered and they have been told about them the last minute. This made them a little grumpy the last minute.
Of course, they fully expect tourist like Ereshkigal, Ishtar and Mashu. They are always welcome here on the island.
It was so sad it happened.
Anyways, the local directed them to the more hidden area because they were nicer than they've anticipated and they gladly led them to the more beautiful hidden places. Of course, Ereshkigal has a field day for it.
They were just a little saddened that Ritsuka didn't join them. They knew she was busy with her job as a Library Assistant. If Mashu were to be more honest, she thought her Senpai was enjoying her job, where no danger lurks in a sense and Mashu was happy for her.
So for now, they would take this opportunity to enjoy this leisure.
