I was surprised when she came, and not for the reasons some 'normal' people would be. Yes, she appeared from Karin's camera, but so does Medea-kaa-san, to the point younger kids still lock her in random rooms to see the 'Teleport Trick'. Yes, she was a goddess, her presence marked her as a powerful one, but so were Medusa-kaa-san sisters. Is just that she was so d*mn small! Three-and-a-half feet!

Somehow, I could hear the Root laughing at me.

"Can you stop staring mistress, I'm getting unconfortable." The little girl, Peorth, asked, changing her weight fron one feet to other, with her hands clasped at her back.

"You were cursed into a child form, when you should look what twenty-some?" I resisted my urge to smother her in hugs and kisses. I'm a serious mage, not some cute-loving girl.

"Yes." She answered calmly. And d*mn that voice and speech, so smooth, sexy and mature for tricking me into believing her to be an adult.

"You must look hot then, since you're pretty little cutie as it is..." Karin inputted her two cents, making the goddess eyebrow twich. I roll my shoulders popping them here and there to relieve the tension.

"I made a wish, that grants me your service, and a infinite armory, at my beck and call, with this neat dimensional storage space linked to my own Od?"

"Once again yes, mistress."

"Where is the catch?"

"Excuse me?" The heaven's emissary asks in surprise.

"What you guys from 'heaven'," I made the quote marks with my fingers, and dipped my voice in sarcasm, "gain from this deal? I doubt you guys give high-grade destructive equipment for free."

"I will explain with the technical details, since you're not believing me, mistress:" She seemed offended. "You're aware of heroic spirits, and his weapons right?" At my nod she continue, "We're much the same. We need people to believe in us in order for us to exist. As such we sometimes offer power and presents to people in need, to keep their beliefs in us. You got a class A wish approved, which is probably because you're not only believing in us somewhere later, but also spreading the beliefs of our existance later on."

"So I'll become a nun in exchange for my own Gate of Babylon?" I cast a look at Karin who was making a face of distaste at the notion.

"Gate of Babylon?" Her look became distant for a second. "Oh! Gilgamesh's personal Noble Phantasm. No, you're not becoming a nun. And your Gate of Babylon, so to speak, only contains normal weapons, and C rank conceptual weapons at best."

"Oh. The-" "So Kei have you little angel as a part of her harem now?" Karin interrupted.

"I'm not an Angel, though I have one, and I'm not a part of her harem either." She spoke calm as ever, probably ignoring Karin's perverted antics.

"Dad is going to be mad." I summed it up.

"Why should I be mad, dear?"

Oh sh*t! Speak of the devil... "Erm, she is going to spent the night?" I point to peorth. Dad, from the door, only raise an eyebrow at her clothing.

"Pleased to meet you, Emiya Shirou-san. I've heard incredible things about you." Father looked halfway confused at her adult behaviour, halfway skeptical about my answer.

"A pleasure, little lady. Have you eaten anything?" He asked with a pointed look at us, while lowering a tray with cookies and juice.

Karin looked confused until dad mouthed 'Age Candies' while Peorth picked a cookie.

"Is there anything you need to tell me Keiko-chan?"

I was sweating, no doubt my Od was also flowing irregulary and he picked this up. "Ah, hum, -" The analytical corner of my mind noted that Dad raised a hand at my uninteligible and distraught rant.

"Slowly, daugther, slowly."

"She made a accidental deal with some higher power, represented by Peorth there, for a Noble Phanthasm of sorts, and Peoth services." Karin relayed flawlessly. "I have the recording, should you need."

Tou-san took a deep breath, and tried to mask his newfound rage at the statement. He turned to Peorth "Who do you work for, and what is the price for her deal?"

"Dad-" I try to defuse it. He only raise a hand. Peorth flinches.

"I'm from heaven, and we only need people's beliefs, Emiya-san. No harm will be done to her, you could be assured."

He nodded, but added: "That is good to hear, for both of us. Harm my daugther in any way, and I shall destroy you, your little nifty world, and whatever exists in it. Endangering my sons and daugthers is... Forbidden." And it came. Not the usual Ashura mask, but a blade wielding full bodied Ashura demon, made of swords. Karin fainted, My mind shut off, and I don't know what become of Peoth-chan.
