Chapter Two:

"SON OF A BITCH!" That was what Plutia's colleagues heard a clearly angry Plutia shout after she had slammed the door to her room shut. The fact that some of the colleagues were on the opposite side of the building but still heard the half-yokai escaped pretty much everyone.

It was something of an open secret that Plutia had a history with Magical Europe, specifically Magical Britain. Having effectively been abandoned by her old family before somehow ending up in a Singularity, where she met her (blood adoptive) mom. Due to the weird mechanics of the Singularity, the at-the-time five year old Plutia, or rather Belladonna Potter, and Osakabehime grew close like mother and daughter. By the time that Chaldea entered the picture, the two had already gone through with the blood adoption and already magically changed Belladonna's name to Plutia Osakabe. When Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight ended the Singularity, some rather strange things not only happened but were also revealed. For starters, both Osakabehime and Plutia for some reason got dragged along with the Master and Demi-Servant back to Chaldea. A revelation that shocked the half-yokai when she checked the date was that it was the very same day that she had wound up in the Singularity and that she hadn't aged at all, despite having been within the Singularity for who knows how long. Apparently, time flowed independently from the outside world within a Singularity, or as some of the employees of Chaldea used to say about something that didn't make sense to them, but still worked somehow: "Singularities are bullshit!" Then again, they actually said that about a lot of things that didn't really make sense, like magic or Noble Phantasms.

Returning to the present, Plutia was busy packing her bags in preparation for her mission, during which she would enter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft under the guise of a transfer student. And she wasn't happy about it in the slightest. But orders were orders. At least she could, and definitely would, bring most of her manga with her since it meant that she could continue to feed her addiction to Japanese culture in a (relatively) safe for work manner, despite knowing that she most definitely would wind up pissing someone off. This was definitely gonna be a long mission… but at least she was getting paid extra for it… and she was somewhat glad that she had a decent excuse to drag her mom out of her room, not wanting to do the necessary shopping (which was paid by Chaldea) alone, even if she was fully capable of doing the shopping on her own.

Hearing a sudden and rather timid series of knocks on her door, Plutia went over and opened her door and was greeted by one of the Servants that she viewed as a little sister-figure. Like Plutia's mom, the Servant was of the Assassin-class, but unlike Osakabehime, the Servant was a child. The Servant was a rather quirky one, but then again, the same could more or less be said about just about everyone at Chaldea, and one of this Servants quirks was the habit of calling Ritsuka and Mash Mom and Mother respectively. Something that made the (as of late) Director of Chaldea and Demi-Servant blush, which Plutia occasionally teased the two about. Despite the slight irony that the Servant was one interpretation of one of the world's most infamous yet mysterious historical figures from the half-yokai's former home country, Plutia didn't actually mind the little girl of an Assassin-class Servant, even playing with the girl on occasion.

"Something troubling you?" Asked Plutia gently as she kneeled down to the same level as the Servant.

"Big sis sounded angry, so we came to help." Replied the Servant rather timidly.

"Sorry I made you worry. It's just that the mission is in a country that I have no joy being anywhere near, let alone in."

"We get it. Can we come along?"

"Heh. While I definitely wouldn't mind, you'll have to ask Mommy about it."
