I had a lot of trouble writing this chapter, so it didn't turn out as well as I would like it to.
I don't own anything. Duh.
Right after adopting the boy, Kirei explained to him everything about the world of magus, and the Holy Grail War. After the explanation was finished, Hakuno had no doubt that he really is, in a completely different world. He remembered that back in his world the world's mana supply is completely dried up, which makes it impossible for people to use as his 'dad' called it 'magecraft'. The second big difference to him was the Holy Grail War. In this world, it isn't held in a virtual reality, but in the real world. The rules were different as well. The amount of masters and servant was tiny compered to the amount in the Moon Cell. And the battles weren't announced, the masters had to find each other themselves.
At first he thought that the war in this world was not as monstrous as in the previous one. But the more Kirei explained, the more Hakuno realized that both of the wars were inhuman in their own way. While the number of participants in the Moon Cell far exceeded the number in this world , the thing that Hakuno considered horrifying, is the potential destruction of this worlds war. Kirei told him that he was one of the wars masters, and about Caster actions in the war. He also told Hakuno that the fire was caused by the war. But that was only half true, he decide to keep the other half to himself. Kirei also mentioned that the war happens every 50 years. Hakuno felt relieved when he heard that. 'Maybe my luck is finally getting better.' he thought to himself.
But he has forgotten that lady luck does not favor Hakuno Kishinami. Nor will she favor Hakuno Kotomine.
Three month have passed since Hakuno Kotomine started to live at Kotomine church. If he would describe how he felt about the first months of his new life the word would be 'unique'.
Gilgamesh chose to make his presence known immediately. Since Hakuno already knew about servants, and the grail hiding himself was just ridiculous. And in his opinion 'the boy should acquaint himself with his future king!' But Gilgamesh felt horrified when he understood that the boy and Kirei had more things in-common than you would expect from an adoptive family.
The thing that terrified him the most was their tolerance for Mapo Tofu. Kirei just brought it one day and said that it's dinner. Gilgamesh felt like he was being burned from inside. As for Hakuno and Kirei, while they were sweating bullets they didn't seem to be slowing down and just ate one portion after another. And Kirei while enjoying the agony Gilgamesh was going through, could not help but to be pleasantly surprised of his son's tolerance for Mapo Tofu. Looks like Kirei picked a boy with more potential than anticipated.
After understanding that the father, and son could probably survive on Mapo Tofu alone, Gilgamesh decided to use his right as 'king' demanding that Hakuno learned how to cook. Hakuno didn't refuse, since he never got a chance to cook during the Holy Grail War he gladly took the opportunity.
At first Hakuno was decent, he could cook almost anything with mixed results. The more time he spent on a single dish the more masterful he became with it. But the king's whims changed fast, not giving the boy enough time to learn the intricacy's of any dish. But the amount of dishes Hakuno learned to cook put most people to shame, and while no one would call him a master chef in the future, he definitely will be considered the 'Jack of All Trades' of cooking. The king was pleased.
Kirei wasted no time, and started to train Hakuno the art of Bajiquan. He decided that Hakuno will first learn all the intricacy's of normal Bajiquan, and when he is ready, Hakuno will be taught Kirei's own unique take on the martial arts. As a student, Hakuno was diligent, if something was within his reach, he would not stop until he attains it. But if something was impossible for him, he would wait until he is capable enough to achieve his goal. After three months of training, Hakuno almost mastered all of the basics.
But then something strange about the boy caught both Kirei's and Gilgamesh's attention. The boy possessed magic circuits. The amount of circuits was 12, a below average amount, but all of them were high-quality. Kirei believes that at some point of his life Hakuno mutated and received his magic circuits, since being born with them is almost impossible, unless you're ancestors were magi.
Kirei found it strange that Hakuno had little affinity for magecraft. The only thing that he could use was reinforcement, and healing magic. He could control his prana, but for some reason most of the spells he tried to cast did not take form and caused intense pain all over his body. This confused Kirei and disappointed Gilgamesh. At first Kirei thought that the spells Hakuno was using weren't connected to his elemental affinity, but the more time passed the more apparent it became that it was not the case.
Hakuno had no elemental affinity, and his origin is a mystery. The only way he could utilize his magic circuits was by ether using reinforcement, healing magic or utilizing a mystic code. Kirei did not possess a mystic code, nor will he be in a hurry to attain any. The boy still has much to learn, and finding a mystic code can wait.
"Dad, what is this place?" Hakuno asked while he and Kirei were standing in front of a mansion.
Five months have passed since Hakuno was adopted. Right now he's wearing a brown jacket, underneath he's wearing a black t-shirt with the same design as the one in the Moon Cell, brown shorts that reached below his knee, and like Kirei, he is wearing a golden cross around his neck.
Kirei grew his hair out, and now looks almost exactly like Hakuno remembers him, minus the height.
"A mansion, obviously. As for why we came here, a girl lives here. While I adopted you, she was put under my care by her father and mother before they died, which make me her legal guardian. And she doesn't leave the house too often." Kirei said that with a smirk.
"So, she's like me?" Hakuno asked in a curious tone.
"Yes, it would be a shame if the children under my care became shut-ins, and never saw the light of day." Kirei said those words in a ironic tone which earned him a questioning look from the boy.
Kirei ignored his son's look and walked towards the mansion's front door while being followed by the boy. After knocking on the door, there was the sound of footsteps, and the door opened.
Hakuno's eyes went wide-open right after he realized who opened the door
It was Rin, or mini-Rin to be precise. There was no doubt that it was her. Her dark wavy hair is tied in a twintail by black ribbons and her eyes are clear like water. She was wearing a white shirt, a red necktie, long black socks and a dark skirt. Yes, there is no mistake that it was her, even the same look of annoyance and hostility is on her face.
Rin didn't notice Hakuno standing near his father, and stared at her like he was lovestruck. She was focused on giving Kirei the most hostile look she could. Of course, Kirei didn't flinch, how could he, Rin was a little girl, while he lives with the King of Heroes.
"Good day, Rin. I see you're diligent as usual." Kirei said while a smirk was present on his face. Rin never liked when he smiled like that.
"What do you want Kirei?" Rin asked, while focusing her glare on him.
"Rin, such a facial expression and tone of voice are unbecoming of the Tohsaka family head." Kirei didn't change his facial expression, but his tone sounded mocking. "As for why I came here, when was the last time you left the mansion?"
"That is none of your business." -she answerer in a quiet, but annoyed voice.
"From your pale expression, I would say that you shut yourself inside for a week. That won't do Rin, while improving your magecraft is admirable, socializing with others is important as well. Your parents would be disappointed." Rin flinched when she heard a mention of her parents. Kirei knew what buttons he needed to press to make her do what he wants. "That's why you will be spending this whole day outside with Hakuno."
"Hakuno?" Rin heard that name for the first time. And then she finally noticed, that next to the priest stood a boy with brown hair and brown eyes. She also noted the golden cross hanging from his neck. Hakuno was staring at her with wide-open eyes until she turned her head and took a look at him. Then he started to feel worried. "Who's he?" Rin asked.
"This is Hakuno. I found him in the fire, and decided to adopt him. And for today, he will be you're playmate." Kirei answered.
"Why do I have to spend the day with him? Can't you just leave me alone and look after him yourself." Rin said in an annoyed and hostile voice. Hakuno was now really worried, he didn't even say anything yet, but Rin is already in a bad mood. And he did want to be friends with Rin again, so her disliking him was not a good.
Kirei's smirk widened.
"Rin, if I left you alone, you would never leave the house. As for looking after Hakuno, today is impossible for me. I have an appointment for the whole day, and he had never left the church before, meaning he does not know anything about the city. So today you will show him around." when Hakuno stepped out outside, he showed no familiarity with his surroundings. That managed to surprise Kirei, since he thought that Hakuno lived in the city.
Well he planned to leave Hakuno with Rin for the whole day anyway, so adding her the task of showing the boy around the city would not change much.
"And if I refuse?" instead of giving an answer, Kirei lifted his hand with a key hanging from it. Rin's eyes widened when she saw the key. Looking behind her, she saw that the door of the mansion was completely shut.
When Rin turned back with a look of major annoyance.
"How did you-"
"The key was left in the keyhole. And when Hakuno drew your attention, I took it and closed the door. You should pay more attention to your surroundings." -Kirei said as he put the key in his pocket. "Well then, I'll leave everything else to you, Rin. I will return the key after my work is done."
Kirei turned around and started to walk away, leaving the still, annoyed Rin alone with Hakuno who was still really nervous. They stood in silence for some time. Hakuno was desperately thinking of something to say. He was scared, he, who stared in to the face of death, time and time again, was scared of being disliked by one girl. That's how much her friendship meant to him. Even if she wasn't the same person, she acted and looked the same as the person Hakuno considered his closest friend.
Then Rin sighed and turned her face to Hakuno. He expects to see a glare, but instead her face was neutral. There was no anger or annoyance, just a little bit of curiosity.
"Oh well, I might as well show you around, Kirei took the key from my house anyway." she said in an indifferent tone.
"...Huh?" Hakuno let out the first noise since he saw Rin. His face was blank, he expected Rin to be mad at him, the response she gave threw him off guard.
"Is something wrong?" she asked him. She noted that his body was well built, for someone his age, and he was slightly taller than her. Then she took a look at his facial expression which for some reason started to annoy her. "What's with the blank look, never saw a girl before?" she tried to get some kind of reaction out of him.
It worked, Hakuno blinked a few times, but the blank look was still present on his face.
"You're not mad?" he asked her with a concerned voice. Now she was giving him a confused look.
"Mad? Why should I be mad?" -Rin said after she crossed her arms.
"Well, dad did just take the key from your house. He also dumped me on you." Hakuno said in a nervous voice. Rin just gave him another sigh.
"While the whole exchange did put me in a bad mood, I'm not mad." after a short pause she continued. "...At least not mad at you, Kirei always gets on my nerves. And he's right, I shouldn't sit at home all day." Rin said the last sentence with disguist.
Hakuno noticed that Rin seems to dislike Kirei. While Hakuno grew found of Kirei over the five months, they lived together, he still was somewhat 'wary' of his adoptive father. Something just didn't feel right about him.
Which was strange since Hakuno grew to like even some one like Gilgamesh. While the lessons in life, and the advice the king gave him were not something he took close to heart, Hakuno still kept them in the back of his head. It's not every day that the worlds first king gives you life lessons. And the feeling that the King of Heroes gave of was not 'malicious' like Kirei. In the end, Hakuno couldn't figure it out.
"So is there anywhere you want to go in particular?"
Hakuno shook his head.
"No, this is the first time I went outside since being adopted, and I don't know much about this city except it's name." he decided to keep quiet about the Holy Grail War since he didn't know if Rin was aware of it.
"Hmm, I guess I'll start with telling you, about the layout of Fuyuki city. First off, do you remember the river which is on the way here?"
Hakuno gave Rin a nod, and she continued.
"That was Mion River it separates the city in to two parts: Miyama town, and Shinto. Right now we're in Miyama town which is the residential area for the most people living in Fuyuki. And the second is Shinto, that's where the Kotomine church is." Rin stopped and remembered that the fire happened in Shinto. And that's where Kirei found Hakuno, who probably lived there before the fire. She wanted to face-palm, she goofed up again. But Hakuno didn't really react, he just held his curious gaze and waited for her to continue her explanation. The gaze didn't contain any sorrow or grief which was strange to Rin. But she decided to go with the flow, she knew what it felt like to lose family. And if Rin could help it, she didn't want anyone else to feel the same pain.
So she decided to tell the boy only about Miyama town.
Rin continued her explanation.
"Miyama town is is split in two districts: the northern and southern. The northern district is full of traditional Japanese houses. While the southern is inhabited by foreigners which is why the most houses here look different."
"I remember passing an intersection on the way here. Where do the other roads lead to?" Hakuno said in a curious voice.
"Well, there's Mount Miyama, it's a shopping district-" Rin couldn't finish her sentence. Hakuno took her hand and started to walk at a slow pace towards the intersection. "What are you doing, idiot!?" Rin shouted. This was the first time that a boy was was holding her hand.
Hakuno didn't stop, he turned his head towards her. She was walking at the same pace as him so he didn't need to slow down. As for her face, she looked mad but there was a hint of red on her cheeks.
"Well, you said there was a shopping district, so I decided that we should go spend some time there." Hakuno answered like it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Not that, why did you take my hand?!" Rin yelled. She was walking at the same pace as the boy, like she's following him willingly. Rin noticed that Hakuno seemed to be holding her hand really carefully. She guessed that the boy was holding back his strength. And guessing from his built, he could easily break her hand if he wanted to.
"Oh sorry, I just got over exited." Hakuno stopped and let go of her hand. He gave her a warm smile.
"Geez, at least warn me the next time you do something like that." Rin still had a blush on her face. She turned her eyes away from the boy out of embarrassment.
"I promise I'll give you a warning before I do something like that again." From the way the boy spoke, Rin could already guess that if he gets a chance, he will take her hand again. "So where is the shopping district?"
Then she finally noticed that they were standing at the intersection.
"It's over there." She pointed in the direction of the shopping district. "Why are you so eager to go there anyway?" Rin asked, turning her head in the the boy's direction who was looking around restlessly.
"Well, this is the first time I left the church in five months, so going anywhere sounds good to me."
Rin gave him a look of disbelief. But then she remembered that Hakuno was adopted by Kirei. It was possible that the fake priest forgot that all people need fresh air. Then she noticed that the boy was looking at her.
"What's wrong?" Rin asked.
"I just realized, that we haven't even introduced ourselves." While he knew who the girl was, she did not know him. Kirei did call him Hakuno once in front of Rin, but they never actually told their names to each other. "I'm Hakuno Kotomine, just call me Hakuno. I don't really feel comfortable being called Kotomine."
"Rin Tohsaka. Well if I'll call you Hakuno , then you can call me Rin." she gave him a smile. It was the same smile he remembers but only more childish and he smiled back at her.
"Ok Rin, let's go to the shopping district." she gave him a nod and they started to walk side by side.
After a few minutes both children were standing in Mount Miyama. It was filled with small shops, cafes and restaurants. It wasn't anything grand, but to Hakuno it looked like a wonderland compared to the small shop in the Moon Cell.
"This is Mount Miyama, the shopping district of Miyama Town. I come here shopping for groceries since everything here is cheap." Rin explained.
"Can you cook?" Hakuno asked. Honestly he wasn't surprised, if the Rin he knew could cook why wouldn't this one. Heck, even he learned how to cook because of Gilgamesh.
"If not me, who else? I live alone, so I have to cook myself." Rin said and started to walk further in to the district, Hakuno followed.
After walking for a while, both of them decided to sit down on a bench near a small park for children, which was close to Mount Miyama.
"But how are you getting the money to buy food for your self, if you live alone?" Hakuno asked. When he noticed that the girl frowned he started to worry that he asked something insensitive. "Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have asked." he said in a, apologetic voice.
Rin shook her head.
"No, it's just that the way I'm getting the money doesn't make me proud of myself." she replied in a quiet voice.
"What do you mean?" the boy was getting curious.
"Do you know what the Clock Tower is?" Rin wanted to make sure that Hakuno knew about the Mage's Association. Although she was sure that Kirei already told him everything about magecraft.
Hakuno gave her nod.
"It's the main headquarters for the Mage's Association, but what does have to do with you?"
"The Association pays out royalties because of the patents that my ancestors left behind." Rin said in a quiet and ashamed voice.
"But, isn't it a good thing? Isn't that something anyone should take at least a little pride from?" the boy didn't understand why the girl was ashamed. Her family had done something that made the Mage's Association in debt to them.
"It is, but it's not something I take pride in. It's thanks to my family's achievements that my life is easy. Until I achieve something that would lives up to the Tohsaka family name, I have no right to take any pride in my ancestors achievements." Rin finished in the same quiet voice, but now there was no shame only a hint of determination.
Hakuno knew that she will live up to her family name.
"You will Rin, I know it." the boy said with a voice full of confidence. The girl turned to him with a surprised face, the boy was smirking. The smirk looked exactly like Kirei's. But while the fake priests smile was mocking, his son's was making fun of her because he knew that someday she will achieve something great.
"D-don't be an idiot, how can you be so sure?!" she yelled while having a faint blush on her face.
"Because you're Rin Tohsaka." Hakuno answered. This made the girl blush deeper. How can he have so much confidence in her? They only met today. But, Rin couldn't deny that having someone believe in her felt nice.
Then a sound came. The sound of hunger, and it came from the girls stomach. Hakuno's smirk disappeared instantly while Rin's face only reddened further. She was expecting the boy to make fun of her, but...
"Are you hungry?" Hakuno asked with a concerned voice.
The girl only let out a nervous laughter.
"Ehehe, I might have forgotten to eat breakfast this morning, and Kirei did lock us out of the house." she said in a embarrassed voice. Hakuno already guessed that all of her money was inside the house.
The boy reached in to the pocket of his shorts and pulled out a 500 yen note.
"No wonder dad gave me some money today. He probably planned for all this." when the priest suddenly handed him, his first allowance ever, Hakuno was somewhat suspicious of that, but Kirei just replied. 'You will understand soon enough.' And the boy now understood that his father planed to take the key from the mansion since the very beginning.
"So he planned this..." Rin said in a quiet but angry voice. That wasn't good.
Hakuno decided to change the subject.
"Is there any place around that sells something for a cheap price." he asked hurriedly.
"There is some kind of food stand somewhere. I don't know what it sells since the only things I buy around here are groceries." Rin said angrily. She needs some time to cool down. Hakuno quickly stood up and started to walk towards the shops.
"Ok I'll go and find it. Stay here I'll be right back." he said while walking in a hurry.
Rin gazed at the boy until he was out of sight. He was really friendly to her. It was a long time since she spoke to some one who was the same age as her and the boy probably did too, since he didn't leave the church for five months.
The girl had put her chin in her palms and started to wait patiently for her new friend to return. And if she looked in the mirror she would be able to see a huge smile glued to her face.
Searching for the food stand was harder than Hakuno expected. In the Moon Cell when he needed to find something or someone, it was either on the fake campus or in the arena. The campus was small so searching around it was easy, while the arena was big it was easy to navigate the only problem were the invisible pathways and he was pretty sure he found all of them.
So why is he having so much trouble finding one small shop?
"Hey, is something wrong?" a voice that sounded both boys and girlish said from behind Hakuno. Turning around Hakuno saw a boy with short flaming red hair and golden-brown eyes. He was wearing a yellow jacket with a black shirt underneath, and black jeans. Hakuno was taller than him.
"...Yeah, I'm kind of lost." Hakuno had to admit that he was lost.
"Lost? Were you separated from your parents or something?" the red-head said in a confused voice.
"Separated? Nah, dad just left me with a girl whose house keys he took, and she got hungry so... do you know if there is a food stand is around here." the brunette said like it was a daily occurrence. And then he proceeded to observe the redheads reaction. The redhead boy had a shocked expression, while Hakuno smirked. Now he understood why Kirei told him about the mana transfer ritual.
"Umm, there is a food stand that sells taiyaki for 80 yen." following the redheads gaze Hakuno saw the food stand.
"Ok, thanks for the help." said the brunette and broke in to a run. He didn't want to keep Rin waiting.
Kiritsugu saw the short exchange between his adoptive son and the brown haired boy. The boy his son spoke with, reminded him of someone he'd rather forget. The boy wore a cross around his neck and even had a similar smirk.
But, Kiritsugu Emiya just considered himself paranoid. He shot Kirei Kotomine through the heart. There was no way anyone could survive that.
Thought the man who's heart was literally 'crushed' once.
After giving the boy one final glance, Kiritsugu went to pick up his son.
After buying six taiyaki Hakuno returned to the small park where Rin was waiting.
"That was quicker than I expected." Rin said in a surprised voice.
"Some other kid helped me out. If he didn't, it might have taken more time to find the food stand." the boy said while siting down next to the girl. He opened the small bag, pulled out one taiyaki and gave it to Rin.
For some time there were only the sounds of chewing. Both of the children were eating slowly.
After finishing eating her first taiyaki Rin decided to brake the silence.
"I wanted to ask you, what in the world did you do while being locked up in the church?" She said while raching in to the bag to take another taiyaki.
"Well, mostly martial arts training and sometimes cooking too. And just recently dad started to teach me magecraft." Hakuno said after swallowing his food. Rin wasn't surprised when she heard that the boy was learning martial arts, she already guessed that. She was only a little surprised when she heard that he can cook, maybe they should have a cooking duel sometimes. But when she heard that he could use magecraft she was really surprised.
"You can use magecraft?" Rin asked.
"Yeah, sort of." Hakuno said quietly. "For some reason I can only use reinforcement and healing magic."
"What do you mean, only reinforcement and healing magic?" the girl was confused.
"Exactly that, if I try to use anything else, my magic circuit's start to overheat, hurting me in the process." Hakuno said while taking his final taiyaki and throwing it in his mouth. Hakuno didn't really think too deeply about the reason 'why'. It's not like anyone would be able to figure it out anyway, since he isn't an existence that could be considered 'normal'. And there is no way in hell that he will tell anyone what Hakuno Kishinami and Hakuno Kotomine truly are.
"Strange it's the first time I hear about someone only being able to use a only certain types of magic." Rin said in curious voice.
"Well maybe I'm just that special." the boy said after finishing his snack. "And how about you, Rin? What kind of magecraft do you specialize in?" he asked half-heartedly.
"The Tohsaka family specialize in using jewel magic. If prana is stored in to the special jewels they make really good Mystic Codes." the words Mystic Codes drew Hakunos attention.
"Does that mean that anyone could use them?" he suddenly asked turning his head towards Rin. Formal Wear and Mystic Codes really similar, both of them only require for the user to store prana inside of them. And if Hakuno could use Formal Wear, that means he could probably use Mystic Codes too.
"Yes, but the jewels are really expensive. Even with the royalties I get, buying one jewel will leave me with little spare funds for food." Rin said after finishing eating. Hakuno sat in the pose of the 'thinker'. This drew Rin's attention and she found his serious face to be amusing.
"Then, lets say someone else comes over to your house, cooks and buys food for you. Will that make buying jewels easier for you?" Hakuno said after a short silence. Rin just looked at him and blinked a couple of times. That would make buying jewels easier. She then gave the boy a look of suspicion.
"It would, but what good does that do you?" Rin already knew what Hakuno was implying, but why is he willing to help someone he meet a few hours ago?
"Well, I get to come over to your house, spend time with you, and maybe you could even help me practice my magecraft. That's it I guess." Hakuno said. Rin just looked at him suspiciously.
"Are you this nice to everyone?" the girl asked in a tired tone.
"No, only you. Unlike me, you have ambition, that's why I want to help you." Hakuno looked directly in to Rin's eyes. She could only see sincerity, he doesn't want anything else in return.
"...Ok, I accept. But are you really fine with helping me out?" Rin said after a short silence.
"Yeah, the only other things I do are either training or helping out at the church, so coming over to your house is not a problem." Hakuno reassured. 'Ambition' is not something that Hakuno Kotomine possessed. After the end of the war he found the lack of urgency and objectives soothing. There were no weekly time limits, no opponents to fight, and most importantly no one was trying to kill him. So he took everything easy. Maybe the Bajiquan training was intense, but other than that, there were no things to worry about. And a chance to help out Rin with her goals wouldn't change his daily life at all. "I'll start coming tomorrow if you don't mind."
"Sure, just don't come in the morning." she said in a embarrassed voice and looked away .
"Why not?" the boy was a little curios.
"I'm, not good with mornings..." she whispered and turned red. Hakuno didn't know how to answer that. That was the last thing he was expecting to hear from her.
"...Ok." is all he said.
"Kirei, is all of this unsightly work, really necessary?" Gilgamesh says while he lies on a couch in Kirei's study. He is dressed in his usual clothes that he wears in the church. A white shirt with long sleeves, pants with a color scheme of leopard stripes and a golden necklace around his neck.
Kirei closed the door behind him and sat behind his table on the other side of the room.
"It is not, but you didn't raise many objections when I suggested using them as a life source to you." Kirei said as he reached in to the table and pulled out a bottle of wine and two glasses.
"The king must accept what is offered to him it, however, that does not mean that he enjoys the way his gift was obtained. At the very least you didn't make Hakuno share the same fate as the other children. It would be an unpleasant taste if you did." said the king. The priest stood up from his chair and came over to Gilgamesh, passed him a glass, and took a seat in one of the nearby chairs.
"If that would have been my intention I wouldn't have adopted him. And I must admit, I have grow a little attached to him." after saying that, he took a sip of his wine. "What are your thoughts about him, Gilgamesh? You didn't hide yourself and had ample time to interact with him, you must have judged him."
"I don't intend to share my thoughts with you Kirei, but..." the heroes amused expression changed in to a devious grin. "...He is an unusual one."
To this, Kirei just smirked. As Gilgamesh said, Hakuno really was unusual. He did not act like a child of his age should, and if he did it seemed fake and unnatural. The 'fake' child was an anomaly, something that wasn't meant to exist in this world. And the presence of a command seal only increased the interest, of the master, and servant.
Kirei stood up after finishing drinking his wine and was opening the door of the study.
"Leaving already?" Gilgamesh said, the smirks was still on his face.
"Yes there is something I must go and pick up, before I go find Hakuno and his new friend." -said Kirei while having his back turned to the servant.
"Friend?" Gilgamesh was curious. Something told him that this will get interesting.
Kirei turned to him with a huge grin.
"Are you aware that your former master had a daughter?"
To this, the King of Heroes widened his eyes and his smirk disappeared. Soon he started chuckling, and then it was replaced by a large laughter that rang out through the church. Kirei just looked at the laughing king for a few moments and left the church. The fake priest was grinning like a mad man, because he knew that both the boy and the girl will provide an experience like no other. Maybe it will even be something similar to what the master of Berserker went through.
Before the priest went to find his son and apprentice. He had one more stop to make.
Thanks to all of you for your servant suggestions. It will take some time for me to decide which servant will work the best with how I want to write the story.
I would also like to hear your opinion on how fast should I get to the Holy Grail War. I plan on having 1 more childhood chapter where Hakuno and Rin kind of show their friendship, and 2 chapter in highschool to established Hakunos other relationships. Do you think that I should slow my pace down or continue as I planned?
Thanks for the favorites, follows and the reviews.
