'Huh...?'

'What's going on..?'

"Emiya-Senpai..?"

The two Lily's were still in the same positions as before only now a sword had been imbedded into Lily no.1's left hand

"D-Damn..."

Lily couldn't lie, this hurt like a bitch it didn't help that his left arm was reacting to the weapon being inside of his hand

"A-Ah..! I'm so sorry..!"

Saber Lily quickly withdrew her sword from his hand luckily it wasn't so noticeable considering he had a red shroud around it

But the damage that she had inflicted almost looked metallic... "Don't worry about it..."

At this point they had both gotten up, both a bit fatigued by the battle they had just had "Are you okay...?"

"Nah i'm fine...i was very impressed with your sword skills though!"

"A-Ah! Thank you Emiya-Senpai!"

Lily gave Saber Lily an odd look, maybe once was okay but this was the second time "Uh...just Lily or Emiya is okay..."

"Ah..! i was calling you by Emiya-Senpai's name...!"

"I mean...we do have the same name soo..."

Yeah this was awkward especially in the names department ain't no way i'm calling someone Jeanne D'arc Alter Santa Lily that shit is long! Type-Moon and Nasu be damned!

"...Do you have a nickname Saber?"

"Just Lily would be fine but-"

"-We're both Lily's..."

Oh so were back to the long ass names huh...

"Well...how about we make a nickname for each other!"

They had started to walk together for some reason it just felt natural to them i suppose "Nicknames...?"

"Yeah..!"

"Do you have any nicknames for other people Emiya-San..?"

Lily quickly shrunk at Saber Lily's statement it was true. He had never make a nickname before with the person's knowledge it was more of a sarcastic quote if anything

...Oh so that's where the Archer part grew from "W-Well...No...but we have to start somewhere y'know!"

"Well said Emiya-San...but where to star-WOAH-"

Almost as if plot demanded i- i mean if 'fate' demanded it she had slipped over

Over what..? Literally nothing

It seems Lily's bad luck was spreading

Luckily as every eroge protag does he saves her from falling

Only to fall himself with Saber Lily in hand

"...damn...my...luck..."

"Ah! How Silly of me! I'm sorry Emiya-San..!"

An idea quickly came into the boys mind

Which for once wasn't swords

"Silly..?"

"Well...yes i didn't notice the wet floor sign..."

She then pointed at the obvious sign in front of them like comically obvious it was almost sad that they missed it

"No-I mean your nickname!" "Huh?"

"Silly! Saber Lily...it fits"

An 0 came onto 'Silly's' face

"It's a bit...well Silly but i like it..." "Well that's good.."

And thus that was the end of the chapter-

"Now for your nickname..!" Ah okay nevermind-

"M-Mine...? Can't you just call me Emiya-San..?"

"It's only right that i give you a nickname back...Please..?"

That smile

That damned smile

The red haired boy simply smiled as he spoke

"Sure...what do you got in mind...?"

"...pretty..."

"...i don't think that's a nickname.."

"I-I mean how about Red.."

If it wasn't obvious enough this two looked like cute couple on the floor, i'd say 'aww' if it wasn't for an omminous fast moving-

"Found you"

Altered King of Knights...

"S-Salter..?"

"Saber..."

The two each gave different looks to the altered servant but Salter doesn't care "You're mine boy"

"I'm what-"

And then Lily was kidnapped by the altered saber .

.

.

.

Today was not a good day

--

"So...why am i getting dragged around-"

This poor boy had been dragged around by Salter for while now, and his inner Archer had been coming out in the form of patience here

"Because 'Emiya Lily' doesn't include your first name..."

The Altered Saber was quickly going tiresome at the attitude he was presenting, it had been a whole 7 hours since his arrival and at this point everyone was trying to sleep

The Red-Haired boy simply sighed

"You're not getting it out of me.."

"Then i'm never going to leave you..."

Those words had oddly stuck to him for some reason, a part of him at least He had last heard that from an old friend

Who he didn't deserve to have... "...sorry..."

"Hmm..?"

"Nothing..."

Nothing didn't cut it for this altered servant

"That won't cut it..Lily.."

I told you!

She had started to grab his face, but luckily he was saved by the bell as in it around time to sleep, a bell sounded out at this

At this revelation Lily audibly exhaled, fate had saved him..! "Hmm..? Don't look so relieved boy, I'm not done with you yet..."

Oh yeah E-Rank luck

Salter simply bridally picked up Lily, much to his dismay and embarrassment

"Sa-"

"Arturia, you shall call me that henceforth"

"The Kitchen."

"Oh you're hungry..."

Despite the numerous difiences between the alter and her unaltered counterpart

She was still a lioness at heart

"No."

"...Huh...?"

Huh..? excuse me what?

"Do not make me repeat myself Lily"

Lily was dumbfounded as was i...you cannot blame me for feeling like that, this was the closest thing to a true miracle

"Then...Why are you taking me the-"

"-The Archer in Red likes to cook, he says it relaxes him..."

Lily was dumbfounded once again, it sounded as if 'That guy' was still...

"He likes seeing people happy...i think that's why he always listens to everyone's problems..." "..."

Lily didn't want to admit it to himself but...maybe that guy wasn't so bad...

'What i am thinking..!'

His thoughts were quickly cut off from the two's arrival to the sacred land of the King of Knights The Kitchen.

Lily sighed he quickly got out of Salters arms (you didn't hear it from me but he liked it) and got into the kitchen

He got his kitchenware ready to go and started the element he decided to make a curry in remembrance of a certain curry-loving exorcist

He started with the vegetables deciding to use potatos onions and carrots in this dish of his He started to cut them up with little difficulty

Salter had a unhappy look on her face which shocked Lily a bit

'Does she maybe not like curry..?'

He continued to cut the vegetables without much care- Oh.

The fingers on his right hand were bleeding

He had cut himself

Realising his blunder he had tried to find something to bandage the wound with He didn't even see Salter walk into the kitchen and thus up to him

She quickly ripped part of her dress off and bandaged his fingers with it "Ah...i'm sorry Arturi-"

"Is something wrong Lily?"

Her words usually held such authority that it was almost hard to imagine her voice without it

And yet he was hearing it now

"..."

"The silent treatment hmm? I could have your head on a pike for such arrogance against the king"

"I'd rather not have my head on a pike thank you..." "Then swear to tell the wholehearted truth to me"

They had switched to sitting down on the floor of the kitchen at this point

Lily had a pained smile on his face but simply sighed at the words he heard

"Of course, Arturia"

"What's wrong Lily..?"

The question left Lily unresponsive for a moment

"You just...remind me of someone who i wasn't able to save.."

"They were important to you i presume...?"

His mind flashbacked to the moments after their fight with the King of Hero's

'-I finally understand...you were my shethe-'

"Yes...very much so..."

"If that were the case...they'd forgive you for such an ordeal so..."

"Why is it that you still cannot move on..?"

There was nothing wrong with failure even if you could not learn from it

It was simply natural to fail

"...I cannot forgive myself for failuring her as i did..."

"Then i do."

"..?"

"If i remind you of her so much then i'll forgive you in she stead"

"But before that i have one more question..."

They had gotten even closer, at this point they could make out each others heartbeat "What's you true name Lily..?"

"...Really?"

"You'd best not defy your king..."

Giving into her words was the only real thing to do in this situation

"Promise me you won't tell a soul..."

"I swear on my pride as a king..."

"My name is Shirou, Shirou Emiya..."

The name had no meaning towards her

She had not recognized it

She had not heard of it

She had not known the meaning of it

And yet...

She smiled when she heard it

She was truly happy

"Well then...i forgive you Shirou..."

"Thanks... Arturia..."
