Chapter 29. Not Emiya Archer's best days
In Tokyo
"Toshi..."
Sir Nighteye says as he adjust his glasses for the twentieth time this past hour, as Allmight continues to take down notes and trying to prepare himself to become a teacher for the new semester at UA.
"Mirai I know, it may seem impossible but I promise you I can do this!!"
Nighteye shakes his head before adjusting himself in his seats,
"Nono... I do too believe you can be a teacher, but...it doesn't help that you literally burst out of this room every ten to fifteen minutes to be a hero. You have been overworking yourself these past years so that's why I thought Your proposal is totally valid to not only search for a successor at UA but also for you to take a rest. This way you as the Symbol of Peace will still stand, as you teach the future Generations and at the same time other Heroes may also cement themselves as fellow pillars of our society. So when the day something does happen to you or when you retire we can still stand strong..."
There was a pause before a gust of wind return to the room,
"Did you hear anything I said?"
"I...uhh...no.."
Allmight said as he looked down back to his notes. Nighteye stood up and begin to reach for his phone,
"That's it we will sadly tell the dear principal that we're not up for the task..!! Allmight get off my phone..."
The two stands in place as Allmight nervously holds onto Nighteyes's hand which was just about to press Principal Nezu's personal phone number.
"Can I have one more chance please, I mean after I become a teacher I can't be as active as I am now...I auumm ..."
The pause continues as Nighteye reluctantly agrees, after all these pass years Allmight has slowly gotten back his normal smile. Or rather gotten away from his constant frown that he would only show around his closes friends. So it wouldn't be right to just deny him something that simple.
"Fine but I do wish for you to sit down and really study for atleast two hours a day, before doing your daily duties as a hero. After all Nezu is pulling some tough strings just to make you a teacher in these short times..."
Allmight smiled at his sidekick's understanding,
"Thank you Mirai, if you don't mind me asking...but have you personally found any interesting Candidates?"
The simple question made Nighteye smiled tirelessly at his piles of paperwork, sure Allmight also helps but his efforts take too long and were a bit inefficient so the Sidekicks and the staff at Mighttower help finish most of them. After all the end day reports were quite Massive as Allmight tends to work a lot, but back to his partner's question,
"No not really, although you have an agency we generally don't have other side kicks here besides me, Centipeder, and BubbleGirl...those two were hired by me to do our usual hero paper works while you serve the people. The staffs are of great help here and there but aren't really hired to do these types of paper works...But I did have time to take a look at a few interesting candidates from UA, that is... I still wish for some time before we actually pick them out as a successor..."
Nighteye then looks back at Allmight,
"Are you still sure about this, it's been four years there hasn't been any news of him..."
The sidekick felt that although Allmight is in need of searching for a possible successor for his quirk, but does he need to anymore?
AFO was possibly dead, although the body was no where to be found, but Allmight is still in peak condition does he truly need a successor as of now? Before Nighteye finished his question, Allmight made a serious request.
"Then use your quirk on me once again!! I can't wait until he appears and then just suddenly drop this quirk on someone, we need to be prepared or else something like that event will happen."
His declaration made Nighteye freeze as Nighteye looks and speaks to himself while looking down on his hand,
"I... should I even do this...last time it failed the events the date unknown I saw Toshi's downfall but he lived in a terrible state..but now that future changed he lost but still maintains his health...Well mentally perhaps not..."
Seeing no other way to possibly turn down Allmight's plan Nighteye used his quirk foresight, to see Allmight's future, perhaps what he could see may stop or even change Allmight. But he could never have imagined what he saw next.
--
Cities all around the world sent into chaos, like when quirks first appeared no perhaps much worst. There was no riots but rather people falling onto the ground struggling to breathe.
Some peoples quirks went out of control, others exploded while some just dropped to floor dying. Those who survived fought off beast of fiction that came from out of a strange crack that appeared through thin air. The monster cover the ground and sky attacking everything, and Allmight was there fighting to the best of his abilities along with everyone. He seemed to be weaken possibly a sign that OFA has been passed on. But where was his successor?
It wasn't long before he saw many enormous and monstrous looking structures burst into the sky covering the world in a dark mist. Before Nighteye quirk ended he saw something a drip of blood, and a explosion heard globally.
Although this was a vision from his quirk something strange happen, a strange being grabs ahold of Nighteye, and it stares into his eyes,
"How did you get here...no one should've been able to foresee this moment...but human know well that you can't change what's to come..."
--
Nighteye fell to the floor blood came from his noses and eyes as he gasped for air,
"Mirai!! What's wrong?!"
Nighteye holds out his hand telling him it was fine,
"It's okay, but I have to tell you something and it's not looking good for the future..."
In Izuku's Dream
"Its nice to see you again Izuku.."
Solomon/Romani spoke as he sit upon his throne,
"Doctor Romani!! Its been awhile!!"
"Haha Not really, if you think about it, we talked just not so long ago, or perhaps not...after all time within this place time seems to be none existing ."
Izuku ponders a bit before nodding the times he has been here he was never able to make heads or tails of this place. It all just seems to float as debris, and no sign of time whats so ever.
But suddenly Izuku decides to ask a burning question within his heart,
"Umm Doctor, do you perhaps know what will happen in the future...for Matou and AFO to be exact..."
A slow shake of the head was given,
"No I am afraid not as you know already you won't retain any memories of our meeting, and even then I can't say for sure, I once threw away my title to live like a normal Man...so I wasn't able to use my clairvoyance to see into the paths...and Now my current status makes me more like a fragments of memories then a servant so I am afraid I can't provide you too much help."
"I see thank you Doctor..."
"No I am sorry for not being able to provide more insight, but I do have to say happy birthday to the current last master of Humanity..."
Izuku looks at the doctor who gave him a kind smile,
"I know Da Vinci and the others are planning the next step so talk with them, and this maybe just a instinct of an old man but something tells me you won't need to wait much longer...your paths will collide once more and as always one side will win, even though one of you have won something new but yet old will arise..."
The doctor finishes his words before turning into Solomon and Smiling as Izuku awakes from his dreams, before he could ask question about the Doctor's words.
"Uhhh...my head...sigh* a nice calming tea would probably help...I wonder if Emiya or Benienma has some tea leaves that I can drink...wait where is Emiya(archer)?"
Naruhata
"Huh... so this was one of the location Kojiro helped out in, he did say it was a unique place, brimming with interesting indivuals... quite the numbers of Vigilantes I see...well I feel it's no harm to assist...sigh* again?"
Emiya was on top of a building looking around to find anyone needing help and let some time past, but before he could even start he turns to let a white scarf past him.
"Aren't you ever bored of doing these?"
He asked as he dodges again elegantly letting the scarfs past by him once more.
"Then why don't you make this easy and turn your self in?"
A tired voice says as he walks out from the shadows retracting his scarfs back to his sides,
"Ha...after all these years you still look like a walking zombie, are you eating well... three meals a day is definitely better then those juice or jello pouches you eat."
Emiya says as he walks around the edges of the building,
"Have you been spying on me?"
"No but it easy to tell because every time I see you, you would be throwing those away."
Emiya point down towards a trash can filled with the juice pouches down below,
"...that being said I can ask you the same are you spying on me?"
Eraserhead grabs his capture tool and begins to position himself,
"Your a Vigilante, by law your supposed to be turned in...pretty self explanatory so yes and no, it's not like I really want to just doing my job."
"Hmm, Vigilantism...yes I do see where your getting at, but hear this I am merely just doing community service, I don't claim fame or fortune so if you can be so gracious to turn a blind eye. After all I will be having quite the long nights and maybe a few more days ahead."
After that Emiya hops on top of another building and was about to disappear when he ducks under a sound base attack.
"GOOOOOODD EVENINGGGGGG!!!"
Emiya disappears and reappears behind the attacker and thought to himself,
"Hmm, never really cared for the hero's outfit but this one seem like something Kintoki would appreciate...but thoughts aside I seriously don't have the best of luck do I?"
Before Emiya could knock his attacker out, the Zombie like man came from behind throwing his scarf at Emiya but misses once again. The noise of the scarf hitting the fence causes the DJ hero to turn around,
"Yo, Eraser you think we're enough this time?"
Eraserhead using his capture tool jumps over and goes after Emiya,
"Tsk. Mic if it was so easy you think it would've taken us this long to get any of them...beside if we don't stay close we'll barely remember him...Is this your quirk?"
Emiya smiled a bit at the questions,
"And why do you think I will tell you?"
"It's a hunch, but from all of your past action I don't think your...or any of your friends are truly any dangerous individuals. So it was worth it trying to see if we can get anything from you..."
Eraserhead honest words made Emiya laugh a bit, he walk towards the edge of the building and sat,
"No, but it was worth a try from you,"
He leans forward and falls off the building,
"But an A plus for your attempts."
Emiya disappears, just as Eraserhead and Present Mic came to see where he went,
"Hey, Shota...isn't this a bit much for a single quirk, I mean from I heard from you and what we are able to recall now he not only has enhanced speed, strength, summoning weapons, enhanced durability, and disappearance or some sort of teleporting quirk...you think he has his Allie's around here. I mean for the disappearing act and memories erasing quirk..."
"No, a big portion of what you mentioned is defiantly his quirk, but as for some others it's seems to be from others. It only takes effect when he is gone... tell Midnight she might be meeting him soon. Come on we'll take the stairs!!"
"Gotcha!!"
Both heroes ran into the building to get to the street level meanwhile in the alley Emiya sighs as he ran into Midnight.
"Ara ara so you...!?!"
A hand was raised by Emiya as he face palmed himself,
"Good lord my luck is the worst, I should've stayed around my usual place. But because of something that happen a while ago here I am...getting confronted by a lady of the night right I meet a DJ and a old Zombie!!"
This was slightly unexpected for Midnight though she used to all sorts of insults, or even comment about herself she always enjoyed or played along with it to a certain degree. But This silver haired Vigilante just straight up denied her intro and didn't even bat her an eye while calling her a prostitute.
"Excuse you, I will have you know that I am indeed a pro hero, this costume just serves a distraction and great practical use if you must know!!"
Emiya looked at her tirelessly before turning away to walk off. Seeing this Midnight smiled as she released her quirk, pink and purple gas slowly flows through the air until it reached Emiya. Midnight smiled as she saw Emiya sway a bit only to be surprised to see him shaking it off and continue to run off.
"What?! But how...is this what Eraserhead means when he said quirks doesn't exactly work on them?!! Eraser!! Mic he's headed your way!!"
Midnight says as she chased him.
"This is quite interesting her quirk works on me only as much as Eraserheads...so that's something worth telling Da Vinci.."
Emiya thought as he ran, while reflecting on his experience of these past years as vigilantes.
With Midnights call Present Mic screamed once's more letting out another series of sound shooting towards Emiya. He stayed still until he felt it was time and using his surroundings Emiya jumps from wall to wall avoiding all the attack. He lands right behind Present Mic and quickly turns off his equipment.
"Hey, that's no fun, Yo Eraser Now!!"
With that Eraserheads capture tool springs out only to grab Present Mic,
"Tsk, he disappeared again..."
"Cough* I know it isn't the time to say that's great...but Shota...can you undo this bind it's making me...hard to bre...athe...cough*"
Eraserhead loosens the bind, and turn away into the street,
"Sorry Midnight, Mic dragging you both here during your usual schedules...you may leave if you want..."
"It's alright, but Shota why are you so uptight about these Vigilantes? I mean you are pretty lenient about them...well usually...if their obeying the laws...erh besides being the vigilante part..."
Present Mic stutters at his words until Midnight came along,
"What Mic probably mean is why are you so focused on him or rather them?"
Eraserhead stopped and turn around,
"Because something feels off about them, their too organized and their activities rival that of many top pro heroes except their at times more efficient. Im worried that they are part of something bigger, until I can clear that doubt I probably won't stop trying to catch them."
This was one of the few times Eraserhead ever teamed up to try and pursuit these Vigilantes. Over the years he tried confronting all of them but this was proven futile as they all avoided capture. In the end he only recently asked his close friends for help, as he believe they could hold down even one of the Famous Vigilantes with their quirks combine. He tries to avoid using his friends to keep them out of danger, but even with their help it bore no fruits.
As Eraserhead walk further away from his two colleagues he felt a familiar presence. At first he couldn't recall who it was until he looks at the figure once again.
"Tsk...your quirks are annoying messing with peoples minds like that..."
"Pff...this generation all about quirks huh...well I can't help it as it not part of my areas of expertise to turn that aspect of our abilities off..."
The man reply's as he taps his head, he later walks alongside with Eraserhead,
"Not a moment ago we were trying to capture you and here you are, now let me ask you are so confident as to avoid our capture?"
"Yes, and even at my worst state I can still avoid a whole cities worth of heroes... or perhaps render every hero in this city to be unable to work, but let me ask you if I were to tell you what we are is it true you'll stop bothering us?"
This caught the pro heroes attention as he Immediately stops in his tracks.
"This isn't the best place to talk about it follow me..."
A few minutes of walking the man and Eraserhead walks into a ramen shop,
"Really a Ramen shop...I don't think this place would be a...oh you've got to be kidding me..."
Eraserhead turns around to look at the man who was with him, after seeing nothing was wrong he helped himself to a seat and gesturing the other man over. The Vigilante or rather one of many that Eraserhead chased after sat across from him, Eraserhead didn't know what to say as it seems that he(Vigilante) was distracted by the ramen chef.
"I don't suppose you dislike ramen?"
"No no it's not that I was just wondering...Umm why here exactly aren't you afraid others would intrude into this conversation?"
Eraserhead stares at him dead in the eye,
"Not like it matters anyway if we can't remember any of you...so just tell me what all of your goals, yourself and the organization your with."
"Hmm...I guess we can start with a name...you can call me by my class "Archer," and for my goals well...it's to be a...'hero' for those in need..."
After finishing his opening statement Eraserhead's eye narrows in on the man called Archer,
"Archer...so I guess we won't be going off by names then...tell me Archer, if you want to be a hero why not get the license these past years your skills along with many other ones that are out there...I am going to assume their your associates' skill have also been proven. You all are very efficient."
There was a moment of silence as Archer reluctantly wrote down what type of ramen he wanted, but he quickly gave an answer,
"Tell me...do you believe the world itself is perfect?"
Eraserhead shooks his head,
"Hardly so... but that doesn't..."
"Then there you have it, I don't trust the so called hero society or rather we don't trust the hero commissions...too much restrictions on just some basic task. Along with their ideals of maintaining the Hero based Society. But even so I know what's it like to put too much trust in something, and even more so about trying to be the one to save other...it's an endless job."
Archer voice sounded tired, Eraserhead knows of the tone that voice came out in. It was the voice of not someone who isn't only physically exhausted but of one that was of both Mentally and Physically exhausted. The pro hero now see this Vigilante not as the average person, but for some odd reason a war torn veteran...whose truly done with it.
"I see it's understandable that when the topic of trusting anything not everyone should give the full one hundred percent...but if you know this is an endless job why do wish to do it...why not just hang up and go home..."
Archer laughed,
"Home? I've called many place my home, and done many things to stop doing what I am doing...even some quite drastic measures. In the end I guess it's my Nature .."
"What to be a hero...?"
Eraserhead remark was quickly cut off,
"No, being a hero means many things, but if you were to ask me about todays term of being a hero then no...I am long gone from being that ideal hero. I am simply but a man doing what's right."
"Alright then, Archer you or you all distrust the hero commission, and being a licensed hero isn't on the plate for your group. So what is it you all are truly after."
"Like my last statement to do what's right."
Eraserhead eyes glow,
"Are you playing games with me if so this conversation is over!!"
"No, these past years that's all we've doing, Erasehead think about even if we have heroes like you who choose to stay hidden and fight in those less fortunate areas can you do it alone. Majority of heroes care about ranking or gets called to huge conflicts. But not enough for those who are in the minority or away from the populous then what, there only so many underground heroes and only so many vigilantes who actually can do something for the smaller folks."
Archer drinks his water as he awaits for a response,
"That is true...I've seen how things are even under the law, those areas that are neglected or just flat out ignore...I can't say for sure I agree with everything that you all do but I can agree that you all aren't villains."
"I'm glad we can reach an understanding..."
Eraserhead nods only to say one last thing,
"But don't thinks we'll stop going after you after all the laws the law..."
"Understand..but you can turn a blind eye every now and then...also what is this I thought I ordered Ramen..."
Archer stares at the bowl as red glow came off of it, the bowl was still steaming hot but ramen was no where to be seen on it was...
"It's Mapou Tofu."
"I thought I order ramen?"
"Ramen is just the Garnish..."
"But I ordered tonkastu Ramen..."
"I used the tonkastu as the meat sauce for the Mapou tofu."
Eraserhead smiled under his scarf as his dumplings came to him,
"Wait...I thought I order dumpling."
"That you did, and here you are."
"But this is also Mapou Tofu!!"
"Yes, the Dumpling are just the side..."
The Chef then turns and continues his work. Archer and the pro hero reluctantly finished their meal, but before he leaves Archer stares at the Chef once more,
"Kirei Kotomine...?"
Several days later
"So I've been just around in Naruhata nothing else really...but it's good to be back.."
Emiya return was greatly needed after a few days out of the kitchen the other servants were getting a bit tired,
"Indeed it's great to have you back Emiya, have you seen anything related to them?"
Benienma says as she prepares another Onigiri for a series of bento boxes,
"No...but I've seen a descendent of Kotomine, I've forgotten a possibility to see others descendent, but to see his is..."
"Ahh I see well I do hope you don't feel too disturbed as I've also forgotten somethings here and there.But I will be returning to the Inn I hope these few days off didn't let my Sparrows run wild."
As she left she gave a bow to Emiya before leaving to tend to her Inn, after the break all servants were given many returned to their stations right after Izuku's birthday, but some stayed after to help around the house. Before she left she gave a stern gaze at Emiya,
"Under no circumstances are those individuals allowed in the kitchen, unless someone one supervised them closely...Kiyohime stop trying to add in your special ingredients for Master!!"
The little servant yell down the hall causing the dragon Princess to quickly hide away,
"I wasn't going to...plus I improved!!"
"Sigh* that you have, but you get things over your head and then you revert to your old self..."
Emiya pats Benienma's shoulder as he gave her the sign for her to return to the Inn he will handle it from here. The shorter servant looks at the two before nodding and walking out of the home. Izuku was able to see her off before he came into the cafeteria,
"Welcome back Emiya, how are things and Good Afternoon Kiyohime."
"Izuku things went well..."
"Master! Good Afternoon!!"
The trio finished setting Bento for servants who remained here with them in Japan, and for Inko who was Traveling abroad with Penthesilea to create another business. As they walk around Emiya noticed Izuku was thinking about something.
"Izuku is something wrong?"
"No it's not that...I just wanted to see if we could visit my Ancestors or rather the Fujimaru's burial site...since Rin and Sakura will be visiting theirs soon I was wondering if I could too to pay my respect."
The names spoken by Izuku brought a smile to Emiya face, he remembers the past of the old Chaldea. Where many friends and foes stayed to assist humanities future, as well as the little free time to be themselves.
"That doesn't seem to hard now does it, I'm sure we can find the site.."
"Oh, No need since Goredolf's family was the one to place the site, it's actually surprising where since it's near...ummm yours site..."
Emiya paused at Izuku's words,
"Mine as in... oh...please don't tell me we will all be going on different dates..."
"Umm...actually it's Rin and Sakura idea to ask me to join them, along with any servants cough* especially you to come."
It's like a picture of thunder flashing behind Emiya as he process his past few days, and then looks at Izuku,
"Master...my luck has never been great but why do I feel it's dropped even more..."
"Hehe...I'm sorry? But it shouldn't be all that bad just tell Rin and Sakura who you are and we'll be on our way!!"
"Easier said then done..."
Emiya Replied back, meanwhile Kiyohime tries a bit of her own cooking in the back,
"I don't get what Teacher Enma mean...they taste fine..."
As Kiyohime looks up to ask the two to try some she saw that they were long gone.
"Where did those two go?"
The two in question ran out the house, as Emiya sigh he decide to head somewhere to calm himself and asked Izuku if he wanted to come. The boy agreed since he wanted to see what else could be the thing that calm this Servant down after a series of event like these.
Before leaving entirely Emiya sent a text to Cat, telling her she is in charge as he and Master will run a few errands.
"Ha?! But I just got my break!?!"
Cat says as she screams from her room.
Later that Day at bar in Kamino, Yokohama
"Welcome to the Devil's Lounge...ahhh Emiya and Master, well this will be a bit tough Mrs.Midoriya going to give me a earful now for letting Master stay past his bedtime and at a bar at this hour oh dear me..."
Moriarty says as he cleans a glass and made a fresh drink for the two who entered, but the drink was quickly taken by a rowdy customer who was clearly about to pass out.
"Hey... who...do...you think you are!!? Wa...ing in here...like yah own this place...I'll be taking this drink..."
Within seconds after stealing the two drink he fell onto to his face, Izuku went over to pick him up to see if he was alright,
"Moriarty...did you plan this?"
"Hmm...whatever do you mean, I just simply had prepared him some more drink like he asked, who knew he couldn't hold his liquor...but anyways sorry Ladies and gentlemen but the Bar is closed for the night."
Moriarty declaration made some of the patrons unhappy as the night just started, but many were easy to ask to leave. As this bar provided not only a few wonderful drink but also advices, informations, jokes, and surprisingly therapy. It's also due to the rumor that this bar's owner can be truly a demon so many feared and worried as they left.
The bar quickly empty out leaving only Emiya, Izuku, and Holmes who sat in the back of the bar.
"Tsk...I'm sorry sir but the bar is closed.."
Moriarty says as he continue to pick up the glass and mess spread around the bar,
"And I'm sure that I am a exceptional patron No?"
Izuku seeing the slight tension stepped between the two of them,
"Alright guys, easy now..."
But just as Izuku stepped in between the two he suddenly remembers something and wanted the thoughts from the one of the two smartest minds in Chaldea,
"Holmes...Moriarty what do think about our current operations..."
"We're efficient that's one, I am assuming your asking about our two targets, not our businesses. Hmmm say even though we are efficient it is worrisome on how well they hide these past years..."
The detective of Chaldea takes a sip of his own tea, before Moriarty gave a sly remark,
"I thought the detective would be better then that bringing outside drinks into a establishment that already sells beverages...and also for such a detective you sure give a poor remark.."
"Hmm I do apologies my dear friend, but I would be most upset if you wasted your best on giving me some of best kept surprises. Keep them for a more deserving costumer. And about that I had a feeling you would wish to speak in my place so go ahead."
The reply from Holmes only make Moriarty snort before turning back to Izuku,
"Right right...cough* Master, I've some slightly interesting news if you would like to hear..."
"Do go on.."
"Yes, Giran the man I 'bought' this lovely little space from a few years back seems to be looking for a new space to live... for someone that is..."
Izuku thought to himself a few times before looks up at Moriarty,
"Giran isn't he a broker that works with different people or rather mostly just Villains?"
"Correct, and usually finding a spot by Giran's standard isn't hard, but for some reason he is Adamant on getting this place back...looking through this bar history it seems that Giran was not the first owner...meaning the original owner is coming and isn't someone Giran would want to lose..."
There was a long pause before Izuku clicked the pieces together,
"Since your not gonna tell me I'm guessing it's 'them' if it was someone else I'm pretty sure there will be a stack of papers with their personal history laying infront of me. But AFO...from what we know is good at hiding his tracks, do you think they will comeback to Japan?"
Holmes spoke first,
"It's quite likely, after all Matou's main goal is you Izuku, while AFO probably wishes to settle his business with Gilgamesh...but since the king is else where it most likely he will return to finish business with Allmight..."
There was a sudden sound of cooking as the three turn to see Emiya beginning to cook a very late meal,
"Sorry, it's getting a late and seeing that we've skipped dinner it wouldn't be the best to discuss these things on an empty stomach... do continue."
The three turn around and Holmes Continues,
"As we were it very likely after that display In the US Matou somehow improved the shadow servants, and AFO is more confident or rather have an abundance of Nomus at his disposal..."
"Any evidence to support that?"
Izuku knew the cost of those two creations and both cost many peoples lives.
"Over these past years we seen the rise of missing person cases, individuals being put into comas and those who wakes up losing their quirks...it's hard to say that these aren't concrete evident but it's here."
A tablet with the said information was presented to Izuku, he looks at the statistic and put the tablet down.
"Holmes tell Da Vinci to send out notice to all our areas of operation, to start a full fledge invasion on all of AFO's assets we're going to...!! Emiya?!"
There was hand that held on to Izuku, it was Emiya,
"Izuku, that's why we've hidden...the numbers from you, since you were young the first second you heard lives were being lost to those two to create these abominations you've wanted to jump in or asked us to do so. I truly understand what you wish to do but listen to us."
The red archer closes his eyes before opening it,
"A full fledge attack on AFO will gain nothing for us, we don't know his exact location just his hideouts, and laboratory. With that doctor and the the Transport quirk user it makes them harder to track, Matou has also contributed greatly to their hidings. After all this is the man who somehow is able to use a human to summon a shadow servant at the cost of the catalyst's life. Their also not exactly alone AFO has made many Allie's during his life, although none are confirmed to be mages he himself has minion and friends within almost every branches. Military, Police, officials within the world government, and many elites within the business worlds."
Emiya raise his fingers to list out AFO's power at his disposal,
"We servants respect your decision and would carry them out, but remember what we've said to you, we'll also be the ones to guide you back into the right path. If we attack them now and reveal to the world or the official, you know well they will cover it up for AFO. If we were to make any moves too huge the Mage associations wouldn't just sit around doing nothing they would cover for us...but... Worst scenario is we would be making more enemies, I know you wish to reveal magic to the world someday, but doing an attack like this wouldn't do well as good start."
Holmes joined in,
"What Emiya said is correct, we although do have influence but it isn't as large as AFO, while the Mage Association seems to be on our side it's only because of Head Master Kischur who runs the clock tower. Along with Ms. Tohsaka, Ms.Edelfelt, and Mr.Musik, but not all Mages are still just complying with Kischur...one wrong move and The mages may all just turn against us, after all those who hide secrets tend to keep it that way. Without enough preparation Izuku your reveal may have just made you more enemies then you wish too."
"I understand that...but..."
"We've also saved almost around the same amount too, as many as there are gone we've also saved many. I understand that numbers don't make it right but we are still doing what we can. We haven't only focused on AFO and Matou but also other activities as well...so Master atleast believe we are doing what we can and when we can. Also wait no longer the time is about to come, AFO return or Matou will be what we wanted, no more chasing them around, but rather luring them out...like a prey attracted to a bait..."
The topic didn't continue as the teen knows the path he has taken, and understood what was happening. The servants await for his next words,
"Haaa...* thanks I would've made a big mistake if you all were to carry out my words...my family and friends would be in great danger. I may also have made more enemies as well...Moriarty...Holmes I wish to have a meeting with all Servants currently summon about our next move if possible."
The two both nod in understanding before starting to work, Emiya passes everyone a bowl of warm beef stew and some piece of toast.
They all eat but before they left Moriarty passed a bill to Emiya,
"This is?"
"A bill of course my fellow archer, you can take care of it whenever you wish to."
"James...are you serious..."
"Very much so..."
The bill was a very much exaggerated amount, but it's because of this Moriarty was able to get many people within his reach due these types of bills. Although it wasn't that much that Emiya couldn't pay he knew what Moriarty wanted him to do, Izuku came back to see what was going on and offers to pay for Emiya,
"I can pay Moriarty..."
"No, my dear master Emiya here is a grown man he can pay...how about this you can work here from now on as as our extra help...!!!"
Emiya places down a business Check and turns to leave with Izuku,
"Yeah, no I'm fine thank you, I don't feel like overworking myself."
The two left for home while the detective Chuckles at the bartender's trick on getting a new employee,
"Emiya sorry about tonight I know you were probably going for a drink to actually relax yourself...but it turned into this whole discussion..."
"No problem...I knew I couldn't have anything going smoothly for me after seeing what's happening these past few days...but when are you planning this meeting?"
Izuku stopped before he looks to the stars,
"Soon."
An: Hello everyone, this has been a very longtime since I last updated. I just want to say thank you for those who are still with this story and sorry about the wait.
Been busy with work and other stuff, that became a bit physically and mentally exhausting. So I do wish to say thanks again for the wait, but that being said I will be clear I'm still working on new chapters but just won't be able to really put them out as usual due to schedules.
I hope this chapter is clear with things as I have changed things here and there to fit, and wrote these late at night...so I hope it goes well. But still very happy for the support.
Keybladelight: thanks as always while I do have a few singularities planned out they won't appear until much later. But still thanks for your comments as always.
SynchroRegis: Yes they are arriving, and soon as we move closer towards UA, so many different things plot related will happen, which I do hope will be put out smoothly.
