Mordred Pendragon was walking down Chaldea's hallway, minding her own business. As she was walking down, she ran in Blackbeard carrying a bunch of doujinshis and video games.
"Jeez...that pirate seriously needs to lay off with the doujinshis and video games...if anyone can get him to..." Mordred thought as she accidentally bumped into him, making him drop all of the stuff he was carrying.
"Ah! The stuff I borrowed from Osakabehime!" Blackbeard thought as he saw the stuff fall over. "Mordred!"
"Hey! You bumped into me first!" Mordred argued.
"You weren't even paying attention to where you were going!" Blackbeard argued back.
The two then glared at each other to make the other back down before both thought it was pointless arguing against each other any further.
"Anyways, can you help me pick all of this up?" Blackbeard asked Mordred.
"Whatever..." she said as she grabbed a few doujinshis that had dropped from the pile. As she was picking up the doujinshis that dropped from the pile Blackbeard was holding, she noticed a piece of paper on the ground. "Hm? What is this?" she thought.
As she picked up the piece of paper, what she saw on the paper completely shocked her.
It was a drawing of Emiya Shirou.
Blackbeard noticed Mordred picking up the drawing of Emiya Shirou and nearly was in shock. "Ah! Oh shit! Mordred picked up the one thing I did not want anyone to take a look at! Well...other than the collection of doujinshis, figurines, video games, and visual novels I picked up over the years...but still!"
"Blackbeard!" Mordred yelled out.
"W-What?!"
"Why do you have a picture of mother?! Were you the one who drew this?!"
"Uh...well...I'm not the one who drew it..."
"Then who?!"
"Uhm...you see...I already made a promise not to tell..."
"Huuh?! What do you mean by that?! If there's someone else involved, then tell me! Or else I'll shove Clarent down your throat!" Mordred said as she had Clarent ready and to shove it down his throat.
"All right! All right!" Blackbeard said fearfully as he did not want to return to the Throne of Heroes. "Sorry Osakabehime...but it seems like I can't keep your promise..." Blackbeard thought as he brought out his smartphone and started texting to Osakabehime.
(Meanwhile in Osakabehime's room...)
Osakabehime was at her kotatsu, working on a new drawing on her tablet. As she was working on her digital drawing, she had a new notification on her PC.
She stopped for a moment and checked the notification. As she checked it, she noticed that she received a message from Blackbeard. "Blackbeard? Is he finally done with the stuff I lend him a while ago?"
However, as she checked the contents of the message, she was terrified.
"Mordred-shi saw the pic of Emiya Shirou drawn by Okki! Sorryyyy!"
Osakabehime was terrified about this. In an instant, she sent a message back to Blackbeard.
"Huuuuuuh?! Didn't you promise not to show it to anyone?! Stuuuuupid Blackie!"
"Is it okay if I tell her that you're the one who drew it?"
"It's embarrassing, so definitely not!"
"But if I don't tell her, she'll kill meeeeee!"
"Then die and go back to the throne!"
"That's mean! You're not human!"
"Duh! I'm a yokai!"
"Just help meeeeeee!"
"Sorry, but you're on your own!"
(Back to where Mordred and Blackbeard were...)
"Great, now what am I going to do?! Mordred's definitely going to kill me if I don't say anything!" Blackbeard thought with a sigh.
"Well?! Who's the person that drew this picture of mother?! Now tell me or else I'll kill you with Clarent!" Mordred yelled out.
Blackbeard sighed again as he gave up for his life's safety. "Follow me..." he muttered.
Blackbeard then went to Osakabehime's room with Mordred following him. As they arrived at the front door of Osakabehime's room, Blackbeard knocked on the door.
"Okki...it's me...Mordred's here as well..." Blackbeard said dejectedly.
No response came from the room.
"If you aren't responding, then I'm coming in!" Mordred yelled.
In an instant, the door opened, revealing Osakabehime wearing her hood down enough to cover her top part of her face.
"H-Hi Blackie and Mordred...please come in..." she muttered.
Mordred and Blackbeard then went into Osakabehime's room, which looked like a hardcore otaku's room. There were posters of anime characters hanging around, multiple video games, doujinshis, manga, and visual novels stacking in piles, a kotatsu in the middle of the room, and a desk with a PC and tablet in the corner of her room. Osakabehime, Mordred, and Blackbeard sat down at where the kotatsu was.
"So, you're the one who drew this...?" Mordred asked Osakabehime.
"Ah...y-yes...I'm s-sorry..." Osakabehime said.
"Why did you draw my mother?"
"Well...it happened a few days ago. You see, I was going through a slump then and I didn't have any inspiration to draw something. It was then that one day, I came upon the servant known as Emiya Shirou in the training room, and BAM! My inspiration came back!"
"I see..."
For a few seconds, there was silence between them as Mordred didn't say anything while both Blackbeard and Osakabehime were nervously waiting for Mordred's reaction.
"She is still scary, even when silent..." Blackbeard and Osakabehime thought.
"Hey, Osakabehime," Mordred suddenly said.
"Y-Yes?!"
"This drawing of mother..."
Osakabehime gulped. "W-What about it?"
Mordred stuttered for a moment before saying, "D-Draw one for me too..."
Both Blackbeard and Osakabehime were surprised at Mordred's words. "Eh?!" they said in unison.
"Y-You heard me! D-Draw one for me too..." Mordred said with a blush on her face.
"But why?" Osakabehime asked.
"I-I just want a picture of mother in my room! Is that hard to do?!"
"Well no...but..."
"If so, then do it!"
Despite being surprised at Mordred's sudden request, Osakabehime smiled and she proceeded to grab her tablet and started doing a digital drawing of Emiya Shirou. As she was drawing, Mordred was impressed with the amount of detail put into it.
"Wow! You're hella good at this!"
"T-Thank you..." Osakabehime replied.
"Hey, can you draw a picture of the Lancer version of my father?"
"Hey! That's not fair! She promised to draw Euryale for me next Mordred!" Blackbeard argued.
"Will you two keep it down?! Both of you are interrupting my work!" Osakabehime yelled out, making Mordred and Blackbeard shut their mouths.
After a few minutes of Osakabehime on the tablet and printing the digital drawing out, Osakabehime then handed the completed drawing to her. "Well?" she asked.
Mordred took one look at the drawing and said, "It's amazing! I'll take it!"
Osakabehime sighed in relief as Mordred calmed down from the earlier rage she had earlier.
"Thanks for the drawing!" Mordred said as she got out of the room in a hurry, leaving Blackbeard and Osakabehime alone in her room.
"Well...that was close..." Blackbeard said.
"Yeah...I thought she was going to kill me..." Osakabehime muttered.
"Me too...good thing it ended without any of us dying."
"That's true...by the way, do you still all of that stuff I let you borrow from me?
Blackbeard's jaw nearly dropped in shock as he forgot to pick them up from his earlier encounter with Mordred. "Aw shit!" he thought.
Mordred was walking down Chaldea's hallway with a smile on her face, happy that she now has a picture of Emiya Shirou to keep in her room.
And in good quality too.
"Well then, where should I hang this picture of mother in my room?" she thought. However, in her process of thought, she accidentally bumped into a servant, making them fall. As she recovered from her fall, she now happened to know who the servant was she just bumped into.
It was Arturia.
"Aw shit! Of all people to bump into with after getting a picture of mother, why did it have to be father?! Great, this is not going to end well if she finds out about the picture of mother...I need to hide it somehow!" Mordred thought.
"Mordred, are you okay?" Arturia said as she got up
"Huh? Y-Yeah, I'm fine," Mordred replied.
It was then that Arturia noticed a piece of paper on the ground and picked it up.
"What's this?" Arturia thought as she flipped the paper over.
"Oh no! The picture of mother!" Mordred thought in horror.
As Arturia turned the paper over, Arturia was in awe of what she saw. The picture of Emiya Shirou that Osakabehime drew for Mordred was a front view of Emiya Shirou projecting a katana with one hand while the other hand was holding his kimono, showing the inside of it. The inside of the kimono was blue with designs of flowers and the katana was in a light blue, showing it being projected. The background itself was a blackish background with sparks of red floating around him.
All and all, it was a high-quality drawing.
"Aw shit! Now she knows!"
"Um Mordred?"
Mordred gulped. "W-What is it father?"
"What is this?"
"Uhm...it's a drawing of mother?"
"I can see that. Who drew this?"
"Uhm...Osakabehime..."
For a moment, everything was silent between the two. "Oh crap, Father must be mad..." Mordred thought as Arturia didn't say anything.
"I see..." she said.
Then in a moment, she gave the picture back to Mordred and started walking away, surprising Mordred.
"I-Is father actually...no way...would she...nah..." Mordred thought.
However, her thought was completely wrong.
Because within a few minutes, Arturia arrived at the front door of Osakabehime's and knocked on the door.
"Who's there?" Osakabehime asked.
"Arturia Pendragon."
"M-Mordred's mother, or rather father she calls it?"
"Yes. I have a request for you."
Osakabehime opened the door slowly. "W-What is it?"
Arturia took a deep breath before saying, "T-That picture of Shirou you drew earlier..."
"Y-Yeah. What about it?"
Arturia took another deep breath before saying her request. "M-Make one for me too."
Both Osakabehime and Blackbeard (who just happened to be in the room) were surprised from Arturia's request and said, "EHHHHHH?!"
Shirou Emiya was having a weird week.
Well...at this point, a weird week would be considered normal to Shirou.
But this week was especially weird.
Because any time he would interact with any of the Arturias, Rins, Sakuras, Illyas, Miyu, Astraea, Neros, and Jeanne and her alter, they would look at him with a blush and immediately run away.
And it wasn't only them.
Lately, every time Shirou passes by Merlin, he would give him a sly grin.
Like he was congratulating him for something.
Honestly, he has absolutely no clue what was going on.
"Seriously, what is up with everyone today? It's like they're giving me a weird look for something that I didn't do. Especially Merlin, he's seriously creeping me out..." Shirou thought as he was walking down Chaldea's hallway.
It was at that point that he noticed a piece of paper lying down on the floor. As he picked it up, he was shocked at what it was.
It was a drawing of himself.
"What the heck? Why is there a drawing of me here? In fact, why did someone draw me to begin with?" Shirou thought as he examined the drawing. As he examined the drawing, he noticed a tiny signature on the bottom if the image.
And the signature had her name on it.
Shirou sighed as he now knew what was going on lately. "Well...time to pay a visit to Osakabehime..."
After asking a few servants where Osakabehime's room is, Shirou finally arrived at his location. "Well, here goes nothing..." Shirou thought to himself. He then knocked on the door. "Excuse me, but is Osakabehime here?"
For a few seconds, nothing happened. Then a voice came from the room.
"W-Who is it?"
"Emiya Shirou."
At that moment, sounds of items falling on each other were heard along with someone moving around.
"E-Emiya Shirou?!" Osakabehime said with stutter in her voice. "J-Just give me a moment!"
After a few minutes of silence, the door to Osakabehime's room opened. "P-Please come in..." she muttered.
Shirou then went into Osakabehime's room and was surprised at how much stuff he has in her room. "Wow, she must be a collector..."
"W-What brings you here, Emiya Shirou..."
"Well...it's about this..." Shirou said as he showed her the drawing of himself.
Osakabehime sighed. "I knew this day would come..."
Shirou sighed back. "Why did you draw a picture of me?"
"Well...it started out when I happened to see you in the training room a few days earlier. I didn't have any inspiration and was in a complete slump. Then I happened to saw you, and BAM! I suddenly have inspiration again.
"I-I see. And the fan art?"
"Well...originally, it started out as a personal thing. But when Blackbeard came along, he also wanted one and I drew him another one. However, when Mordred came along and found out about it, she also wanted one as well. Then Arturia found about it and wanted one as well. And then-"
"It escalated to the point where her alternate counterparts found out and wanted some as well, which then attracted other people..."
"Y-Yeah..."
"Is that why Arturia and her counterparts, Rin and her counterparts, Sakura and her counterparts, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, Luvia, Nero and her counterparts, Jeanne D'Arc and her alter, and Merlin were looking at me funny lately?"
"Y-Yes.."
Shirou was shocked at the news he just received. "W-Wow...can't believe all of this happened..."
"Yes. In fact, it has even gone even further to the point where Merlin would request for fan art and doujinshis of you and any version of Arturia having-"
"Okay! Okay! I get the situation now! Just don't say anything else anymore!" Shirou interrupted with a blush on his face.
After a few seconds of calming down for each other from the statement she was about to say, Osakabehime said, "So...are you mad?"
"About the fan art of me?"
"Y-Yes."
"Well...I'm not mad about it. However..."
"However...?"
"Next time when you're drawing someone, make sure to ask the person's permission. Okay?"
"Okay..."
Shirou smiled. "Good. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get going, so see you Osakabehime."
Shirou then left the room, leaving Osakabehime alone in her room.
"Emiya Shirou...he seems to be a nice guy..." Osakabehime thought with a smile as she was glad that she didn't get in trouble.
However, another thought came to her.
"Ah! I forgot to ask him for his autograph!"
Omake
Shirou was walking down Chaldea's hallway, minding his own business.
It was then that he found a piece of paper lying down on the ground.
Shirou sighed. "Did Osakabehime forgot to pick up one of her drawings again? Well...guess I'll pick it up and return it to her..." he thought as he walked over to the piece of paper.
However, as he picked up the fan art, he noticed something.
The art style was different. And what's more, the fan art itself was himself and Jeanne D'Arc Alter together.
And the signature on the bottom had her name on it.
"That signature...don't tell me..."
It was then that Jeanne D'Arc Alter came in, huffing for breath with a blush on her face as she saw Shirou holding the artwork she did.
"Uh Jeanne D'Arc Alter...by any chance...is this-"
In an instant, Jeanne D'Arc Alter came up to him, snatched the fan art from him, and said, "Don't...say...a word...about this...got it?" in a menacingly tone.
"Y-Yeah..."
