Fate/School Days 05

Karin dropped her bento box onto the table with an irritated clatter and slid onto the bench opposite Keiko and Sakuya. "This place is boring!" she complained.

Keiko lifted an eyebrow at her sister as she cleaned off her chopsticks and prepared to dig in to her own lunch. "Why is that?"

"Nothing interesting ever happens here," came the reply. "I was expecting things from my school life!"

"She failed in her bid to become Class Representative," Koyuki said as slid into place next to the redhead and opened up her own bento.

Keiko and Sakuya both made ahh's of understanding.

"Take Kyon-chan's school," the irritated redhead continued. "He's got some sort of conspiracy going on with a demi-god and an alien. Next thing you know he'll get some psychic or something... or or a time traveler!"

Sakuya frowned, "That sounds a little far-fetched. Even assuming he's somehow inherited Father's Chaos attributes, having them all focused in one area stretches the limits of belief."

Keiko stirred her curry before scooping up a few bites. "Is this demi-god the one he almost reacted to?"

"I believe so," Koyuki said softly. "Matsu-kaasan was also eagerly looking forward to meeting this alien but Father cautioned we didn't know what Type she was yet so it wouldn't be safe."

"Is she hot?"

The other three turned to stare at a blushing Sakuya, then ignored the question and resumed their meals.

"Think of it this way," Keiko said thoughtfully. "Kyon-nii is in high school, nothing seemed to happen to him... ever before then. Just be patient or something."

Karin snorted, "Like what, some mysterious high school student will transfer in and suddenly turn out to be a long-lost sister?"

Sakuya frowned. "I would think Father would tell us if he had another child. If nothing else, our mothers would never let him hear the end of it."

"Perhaps," Koyuki said. "However, recall the circumstances that led to Shinra joining our family. Perhaps this would be something similar? A tragically lost wife this time."

"Too contrived," Keiko retorted. "Maybe she was kidnapped at birth and Father simply finds her during his travels. Some school half-way around the world."

"If it is one of our sisters," Koyuki mused, "she may also demonstrate unusual abilities of some sort. Perhaps she would be a Mahou Shoujo?"

"With a pretty dress!" Sakuya chimed in. "She'll be like Superman. Mild-mannered glasses-wearing student by day. Ditch the glasses and she's suddenly a Magical Girl by night! With an idol webpage! And stalkers!" She abruptly slapped herself into silence.

There was a moment where only the chewing and the clatter of chopsticks against their bentos could be heard.

Keiko was the first to break into a chuckle, "As if..."

Karin sighed, "It'd be nice though..."

In a school a bit closer than halfway around the world, a red-haired spectacled girl suddenly sneezed. She looked out the window to the brightly glowing, giant tree in the center of the academy and narrowed her eyes.
