Minami had done nothing but sit on her bed ever since Gilgamesh left a few hours ago. Perhaps what worried her more than the fact that Gilgamesh was going to take a life or two at random was what was to come next. Minami knew her life couldn't keep going on like this; she was forced to keep secrets for the sake of a man she wasn't entirely sure of yet. Just what did she find so appealing about him? Minami felt that worse was to come; she was to inquire about that suspicious book she borrowed at the school library in hopes of discovering it's author and whether any more copies existed, as she assumed the book in itself was somewhat occult.

Minami's train of thought was then interrupted by the ringing of her mobile phone, which she picked up and answered.

"Hello?" What followed was an eerie silence until an answer finally came about.

"Minami Iwasaki correct?" The voice sounded like that of a professional male; Minami was completely unfamiliar with the voice.

"...ummm, yes." Minami had no choice but to cluelessly follow this voice.

"I'd like to congratulate you for your first contribution to Death Service; I hope you'll continue to serve us in the future." The voice continued. Minami couldn't find it in herself to answer, and the voice hanged up.

"What was that about? I've never heard of this 'Death Service'...was that some kind of joke?"

Minami arrived at the library just as she planned. All she had to do now was inquire about the mysterious book she used to summon Gilgamesh.

"It's not like you to not return a book to the library, Minami. Let's see...oh! The book somehow returned to the library...that's strange...there was only one copy to begin with..." Unnamed and unspecified library attendant told Minami. The girl wouldn't believe it until she saw it with her own eyes; the very same mysterious black book she borrowed weeks ago was sitting on the shelf in the very same condition as before. This made Minami hesitant for a moment but she knew she had to get to the bottom of the situation and thus took the book from it's shelf and opened it. What she saw on the inside was nothing short of strange; the words of the page she remembered reading from were glowing gold...not the same as beforehand.

"These words weren't glowing before..." Minami was rather confused but dismissed it. She continued to read through the book thoroughly but found page after page of weird sentences. "I can't find anything...this book is filled with nothing but strange incantations of foreign language. I'm not sure what the incantations themselves mean but I know their effects are very real."

"My, I didn't know you were interested in occult too?" Minami was interrupted by a serene voice; she turned to it's owner to find none other than Fuyuki Amahara standing next to her! She greeted Minami with a warm, welcoming smile.

"Amahara-sensei?" Minami was a bit confused; she obviously didn't know about the School Nurse's passion for the occult, as it wasn't what you'd expect of someone with a gentle nature such as hers.

"The text in that book has always intrigued me; such incomprehensible lines are fascinating to look at." Fuyuki's explanation was a bit out of the blue, which confused yet struck Minami's interest.

"You know about this book?" Minami sounded rather surprised; Fuyuki knew this wasn't normal of her, which piqued her interest about Minami's reasoning for being around the book.

"Why yes. It was originally in my possession until I gave it to the library; I hoped that someone out there would be as interested in it as I was." Fuyuki explained.

"...who would want to read a creepy book like that in the first place? But then again, I ended up reading it." Fuyuki's reasoning didn't go well with Minami, but this at least shed some light on the situation she was in. "Oh...Amahara-sensei, did you ever read out a passage of that book only to find something strange happen to you?"

"No, why do you ask?" Fuyuki tilted her head in curiosity, which made Minami rather nervous to speak her next words...

"...I...never mind." Minami gave up halfway as she held her head down, leaving Fuyuki standing there confused. "What was I thinking? She wouldn't know anything; her level of interest on the occult must be an innocent one."

"Did you yourself read out words from the book yourself Iwasaki-san?" Fuyuki asked eagerly.

"...no." Minami lied. She didn't want to involve Fuyuki in the situation.

"I don't believe you; something interesting must have happened. You wanted to ask me whether I experienced anything with that book because you did, correct?" Minami couldn't believe that Fuyuki managed to see through her; the girl had no choice but to involve this gentle school nurse in her situation now.

"You're right; I did read out a passage from that book a few weeks ago. When I finished a light surrounded me and a strange being appeared before me..." Minami was starting to hesitate not out of embarrassment but fear; fear of whether Fuyuki would believe her or scold her for her foolishness.

"You can tell me the rest later." Minami had a hard time telling whether Fuyuki was really being serious or taking the situation halfheartedly.

As it was rather inappropriate to continue the conversation at school, Minami had been told by Fuyuki to meet her at her house. That very fact felt extremely awkward to Minami; was something like this really worth the time of Fuyuki Amahara? Minami would find out as her time with Fuyuki passed. Currently the two were sitting down with the mysterious book flat on the middle of the table.

"So Iwasaki-san, you're telling me you summoned a fictitious 'Heroic Spirit' into our world who's still lingering?" Fuyuki had been questioning Minami for a while, which made the girl a bit scared; Fuyuki was actually sounding extremely serious and dedicated to the conversation.

"Yes. I don't know why, or how it's even possible." Minami raised her left arm to show Fuyuki her Command Spells. "If my words aren't enough proof for you, I can summon Gilgamesh right here and now."

"Really!" Oddly enough, Fuyuki's strangely serious tone had fluctuated to an excited one. Seems she was looking forward to seeing this supernatural event.

Minami closed her eyes as she held her left hand; although it was her first attempt everything felt completely natural to her...she didn't know why. "I, Minami Iwasaki, command my Servant Gilgamesh to appear before me." With those mysterious words chanted, the floor beside Minami lit with a miraculous light that called forth the Servant Gilgamesh; the first thing Fuyuki did was gaze at the Servant in awe, who took no heed of her.

"Heh, you really that desperate to see me that you'd use one of your precious Command Spells?" Gilgamesh said teasingly. "And what was that about being called a lowly Servant?"

"Fuyuki, this is Gilgamesh." Minami said solemnly.
