In the confines of his room, Shirou was sleeping peacefully on his bed. As he was sleeping, a certain servant then came into his room quietly.
"Master. Wake up."
Shirou didn't say anything as he was still asleep.
"Master. Wake up."
Upon hearing the command a second time, Shirou mumbled and opened his eyes. As he did, he saw a certain servant that was next to him.
It was Rider Arturia Alter, who was wearing a maid outfit.
"A-Arturia?" Shirou moaned as he was waking up from his sleep.
"Call me Rider Alter in this case master," Rider Arturia Alter said.
"I see. What are you doing here in my room?" Shirou asked as he was getting up.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm here to wake you up."
Shirou was surprised. "Why? I can wake myself up you know. And why are you calling me master?"
"It's my duty as your maid for today master."
Shirou was shocked at what Rider Arturia Alter said. "What?"
"You didn't hear me correctly? It's my duty as your maid for today master," Rider Arturia Alter repeated as she folded the bed sheets while Shirou was getting dressed.
"Um...but why though? Why are you my maid for today?" Shirou asked as he was still confused with the situation around him.
"Well...it's a long story...and it involves Irisviel..." Rider Arturia said as she soon began to explain the story of how she ended up becoming Shirou's maid for today...
(Earlier...)
Irisviel was walking in the hallway of Chaldea, minding her own business as her mind was on one thing.
Her adoptive son's life.
"Hm...what should I do about Shirou? Lately, he's been working a bit too much and It's starting to influence his body and health. And no matter how many times he tells me he's okay, I can see through the injuries and exhaustion he's going through. Jeez, what am I going to do with him? From what I heard; he's been like this ever since his world's Kiritsugu's saved him from the aftermath of the Fourth Fuyuki Holy Grail War in his timeline. He could use some relaxation time you know! Wonder what should I do about that problem of his..."
As Irisviel continued walking in the hallway, she then had an idea come into her head.
"Wait. That's it! I can do that! All I need to do is find her and my plan will be complete! Oh why didn't I think of this earlier?" she thought excitedly. She then started to run in the hallway, finding the one servant she needed to fix Shirou's problem, or at least relieve him of his stress.
Soon, she found Rider Arturia Alter, who was walking in an opposite corner of the hallway Irisviel was in. As she did, she came up to her with a smile. "Hey Arturia!" she said excitedly.
"Hm? Oh, hey Irisviel. What do you want?"
Irisviel let out a smile. "I have a favor to ask of you, and it involves Shirou's wellbeing. Will you help me out?"
That immediately got Rider Arturia Alter interested. "Give me more of the details," she demanded.
Irisviel's grin grew even further as her plan was coming into place. "Well. How would you like to be Shirou's maid for a few days?"
(Back to the present...)
"And that's what happened Shirou," Rider Arturia Alter said as she was done explaining the current situation and how it all started.
Shirou was surprised with what Rider Arturia Alter said. "So, let me get this straight. The reason why you're here is because my mom was worried about me because of my habits. During that moment, she came up with a plan to help me relieve my stress and that plan would be you being my maid for one day?"
"That's exactly correct master."
Shirou let out a small sigh. "Mom, sometimes I will never understand what goes into your head along with your plans..."
"Master?" Rider Arturia Alter said, snapping Shirou out of his thoughts.
"Hm? Oh, it's nothing Rider Alter. So...what happens now?"
"Isn't it obvious, I'm here to act as your maid for today. From now until the next day, whatever you want or ask for, I will do as you wish. Now hurry up, we got things to do."
Shirou was both and nervous and confused with the orders Rider Arturia Alter said. However, he still moved on. "Okay. Then shall we leave the room then?"
"As you wish master."
Shirou sighed. This was going to be a long day...
Shirou was walking with Rider Arturia Alter by his side as many servants were looking at him. Some servants were looking at him with wonder while others were looking at him with jealously. While Rider Arturia Alter didn't care about the attention she was receiving, Shirou mentally groaned at the attention he was getting from the other servants.
"Jeez, this amount of attention is even more creepy than the time where I wore that weird magic wand mystic code Da Vinci made a long time ago. And this is going to last for a few days..."
As Shirou continued walking along with Rider Arturia Alter, he bumped into a certain blue lancer.
"Hm? Oh, hey there kid! And is that the Altered King of Knights over there?" Lancer Cu said as he looked at the pair.
"Hey there Cu..." Shirou muttered.
"What do you want Lancer?" Rider Arturia Alter asked.
"What? I'm just trying to have a conversation with him. Also, what's with the maid outfit?"
"It's my duty as being Shirou's maid."
For a moment, Lancer Cu said nothing. Then after a few seconds of silence, he started laughing like crazy.
"Hahahahahahahaha! No way kid! You actually got a maid?! And the maid happened to be the altered King of Knights?! This is just way too funny!" Lancer said while laughing hysterically.
However, he was soon greeted with a mop at his throat.
"I won't allow such insult at my master. Now shut up or else I'll shove this mop down your throat," Rider Arturia Alter said menacingly, making Lancer Cu shut up in fear.
"Wow. She is taking the role as the kid's maid seriously. It's probably better if I shut up right now," Lancer Cu thought as he felt Excalibur Morgan near his throat.
"Rider Alter, that's enough. Please lower the weapon." Shirou said.
"As you wish master." Rider Arturia Alter then lowered Excalibur Morgan, making Cu sigh in relief.
"Sorry about this Cu," Shirou apologized.
"Nah. I definitely deserved that. Anyways, what's with you two today?" Lancer Cu asked.
"Well, let's just say...my mom came up with this situation."
"Mom? You mean that white haired woman with the flashy dress and crown?" Lancer Cu said as he remembered Irisviel.
"Yes."
"Huh. I didn't know she came up with this. She must be full of crazy ideas."
Shirou sighed. "You have no idea what she is capable of Cu..." he said as he remembered all of the plans Irisviel has come up with in the past.
Lancer Cu shrugged. "Anyways, I got to go now. See you kid."
"Yeah. Bye Cu."
And then Lancer Cu left, leaving Shirou and Rider Arturia Alter alone.
"Well then, shall we move on master?" Rider Arturia Alter asked.
"Y-Yeah."
And the two then moved forward inside the hallway. Eventually, they arrived at the cafeteria. However, there was a slight problem...for Shirou that is.
Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, Astraea, Irisviel, Kiritsugu, Jaguar-man, and EMIYA and his counterpart were there.
And they had various reactions.
For Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, and Astraea, they looked at Rider Arturia Alter in jealously.
For Irisviel, she smiled as her plan was coming into place.
For Kiritsugu, he didn't show any reaction to Shirou and Rider Arturia Alter together.
And for Jaguar-man, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter, they were shocked as they saw Rider Arturia Alter with Shirou together.
For a moment, there was silence in the room but the tension was so thick it could even be cut.
Then Jaguar-man decided to speak out. "Um Shirou...what is this...?"
"Well...you see..." Shirou stuttered as he tried to put the current situation into good words.
However, before he could do so, Rider Arturia Alter spoke out first. "I am his maid."
Those words instantly turned the entire cafeteria go into chaos. "EHHHHHHHH?!" everyone beside Irisviel exclaimed in unison.
"Y-Yeah..." Shirou said.
"But how though?! How did this happen?!" Ishtar and her counterparts yelled.
"It was Irisviel's idea," Rider Arturia Alter replied calmly.
At that moment, everyone turned to Irisviel who still had a smile on her face.
"IRISVIEL/MAMA/MOM! WHY?!" they all exclaimed in unison.
Irisviel let out a chuckle. "What's wrong with a mother watching out for one of her sons' health?"
Everyone was dumbfounded with the answer Irisviel just gave. "What do you mean by that?" Arturia and her counterparts asked.
"Well, I was getting tired of Shirou overworking himself along with him telling me he's okay. However, in my eyes, I can see the stress that has accumulated over in his body. Hence, I came up with this plan."
"But still, why did you think of a solution like this?!" Illya and her counterparts along with Miyu asked.
"Yeah! There are other ways to solve a problem like that!" Parvati exclaimed along with Kama, BB, and her sisters nodded in approval.
"Also, why did you choose her?!" Astraea exclaimed as she pointed to Rider Arturia Alter, who was looking at her with a smug grin.
"Well obviously, I was the better choice out of all of you since I am a maid after all," Rider Arturia Alter replied as she held onto Shirou.
At that moment, nearly everyone besides Irisviel, Kiritsugu, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter were almost about to separate Rider Arturia Alter from Shirou if not for Irisviel suddenly getting out of her seat and standing in front of Shirou and Rider Arturia Alter, separating the two groups.
"Now, now, let all of us calm down for a moment and figure out a solution, okay?"
Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, Astraea, and Jaguar-man were still looking at Rider Arturia Alter angrily, making Irisviel sigh.
"I said...let all of us calm down for a moment and figure out a solution, okay?!" Irisviel said in a menacingly tone.
In an instant, everyone felt the anger in Irisviel's tone of voice and quickly complied to her orders. "Y-Yes," they all said in unison.
"Good." Irisviel then returned to her normal mood and went back to her seat with everyone else following her. As they did, Kiritsugu, EMIYA, and EMIYA Alter had one thought in mind.
"Scary..."
For the next few days, Rider Arturia Alter was fulfilling her duty as Shirou's maid.
Wherever Shirou went, she followed him.
Whenever Shirou was doing labor work, she helped him.
Whenever Shirou was exhausted, she helped him relax.
In fact, there were times where she would spoon feed him his meals or help him get dressed, which sparked jealously from her counterparts and everyone else.
Due to these acts, Shirou has been receiving some attention from the other servants and even some of them were jealous at them.
Not to mention the reactions from the other servants as well.
Lancer Cu's counterparts were surprised with Shirou's maid situation.
Medusa and her counterparts were also surprised with Shirou's maid situation.
Caster Medea was a bit jealous at Shirou.
Sasaki was amused with the situation and jokingly said he would want to be in the same situation as Shirou.
Hercules just roared at him.
Archer Gilgamesh was so jealous at Shirou's situation with Rider Arturia Alter that he tried to bribe Rider Arturia Alter to be his maid, but it failed as he ended up getting his ass kicked by her while his counterparts looked at him in disappointment.
Nero and her counterparts were interested with the whole maid getup and wanted to do it as well.
Jeanne D'Arc and her Alter Santa Lily counterpart were surprised while Jeanne D'Arc Alter was not amused with the situation, making Rider Arturia Alter giving her a smug face.
Okita was surprised while Okita Alter muttered that she wanted to try out being a maid, resulting in Okita just sighed at her counterpart's reaction.
Musashi's reaction was that she was in awe of it.
The Knights of the Round were surprised while Merlin had a smug look at Shirou.
Scathach and her counterpart were amused with the situation.
Arthur was surprised with the situation.
Jack, Nursery Rhyme, Abigail, and Paul were in awe with the entire situation.
Hakuno was surprised with this.
Waver was dumbfounded at the situation Shirou was in.
Ritsuka and Mashu were surprised at both the maid situation and how Irisviel came up with the plan.
Da Vinci laughed at the situation and gave Shirou a comment saying, "You've just fulfilled the dream of many teenage boys now." Shirou was confused with the comment Da Vinci made.
Right now, Shirou, Rider Arturia Alter, Ritsuka, and Mashu were in a singularity, cleaning up the enemies inside the forest. "Well, it's been a few days since Rider Alter became my maid. Honestly, I did not expect to start that day with a maid in my room. And all of that was mom's idea..."
"Master? Are you done over there?" Rider Arturia Alter asked in the distance.
"Hm? Oh yeah, I'm done here Rider Alter," Shirou replied.
"Great. Now let's hurry up and head where everyone else is."
Soon, Shirou met up with Rider Arturia Alter and they headed towards to where Ritsuka and Mashu were. As they did, they were nearby at the entrance of a dragon's hideout.
"Okay? Remember the plan everyone?" Ritsuka asked.
"Y-Yes! All we need to do is to destroy the artifact the dragon have secured and that's it," Mashu replied.
"Good. Any questions?"
There was silence as everyone agreed to what the objective is.
"Great! Let's go then!"
And then Shirou, Rider Arturia Alter, Ritsuka, and Mashu soon headed towards the dragon's hideout. Eventually, they arrived at the hideout, where it was empty.
"Looks like the dragon isn't here," Mashu said.
"Great. We can destroy the artifact with ease! Shirou?" Ritsuka said.
"Yes master," Shirou replied as he went up to the artifact and destroyed it with his sword, swinging it down on it as the artifact broke into pieces.
"Phew! Well, guess everything is over huh senpai?" Mashu asked.
"Wait, it's not over yet," Rider Arturia Alter said as she saw the dragon landing in front of them. The dragon then roared at the group with Mashu protecting Ritsuka while Rider Arturia Alter protecting Shirou. "See?"
"Everyone, move!" Ritsuka yelled out. And everyone split up into different directions as the dragon brought one of its hoofs down onto the ground.
However, as Rider Arturia Alter landed at the spot he was on, the dragon soon moved its tail quickly, preparing to strike Shirou.
"Master!" Rider Arturia Alter yelled as she moved to where Shirou was quickly and slashed the dragon's tail off, making it screech in pain. "Master, are you alright?"
"Y-Yeah," Shirou replied.
Rider Arturia Alter let out a small sigh. "Good. Now come on, we got a dragon to kill, so don't fall behind on me."
"Yeah."
Soon, the dragon turned its attention to Ritsuka and Mashu and then started breathing fire at the two. However, Mashu brought out her shield and protected herself and Ritsuka from the flames. It was then that Shirou and Rider Arturia Alter began an offensive assault on the dragon as Shirou began shooting swords at the dragon with his projected sword while Rider Arturia Alter injuring it with her mop.
The dragon howled in pain as it was forced back from all the injuries it received.
"Great! It's moving back everyone! Let's charge in and finish it off!" Ritsuka yelled.
However, at that moment, the dragon quickly turned its head towards Ritsuka and others and was about to claw him
In an instant, Shirou quickly moved in front of Ritsuka and the others and moved them, injuring himself in the process.
"Shirou/Shirou-san!" Ritsuka and Mashu yelled.
"Master!" Rider Arturia Alter yelled, worried about Shirou's safety.
"I'll be fine! More importantly, we need to strike the dragon on its head! Go!" Shirou yelled as he moved in front of the dragon, trying to distract it.
"Y-Yes!" Mashu replied. "Come on senpai!"
"Y-Yeah!" Ritsuka said.
Soon, Shirou, Rider Arturia Alter, Ritsuka, and Mashu soon began an assault on the dragon's head. As they did, the dragon raised on of its claws at Ritsuka, but Mashu blocked it with her shield.
It was then that Rider Arturia Alter used that encounter as an opportunity as she went up the dragon's wings and ran on it. As she did, she reached the dragon's head and held her mop up, reading to strike the head.
"HOW DARE YOU LAY YOUR CLAWS ON MY MASTER YOU DAMN DRAGON!" Rider Arturia Alter yelled as she stabbed the dragon's head with her mop, killing it instantly. The dragon let out a giant roar of pain as it felt the mop going through its skull, stopping it from breathing fire. The dragon soon fell to the ground as Rider Arturia Alter got off from the head and then hurried to where Shirou was. "Master, are you all right?"
"Y-Yeah. It's just a minor injury," Shirou replied.
Rider Arturia Alter let out a sigh. "Master, what you did was completely reckless you know," she said as she examined the injuries that Shirou received.
"Yeah. I know," Shirou replied.
"Knowing it is not going to help nor is it going to help you escape from the punishment that you'll be receiving later. Do I make myself clear?"
"Y-Yeah," Shirou said nervously.
"Good. Now just stand still and let me heal your injuries."
As Rider Arturia Alter was healing Shirou's injuries, Ritsuka and Mashu were watching by the sidelines.
"Wow. I've never seen Rider Arturia Alter-san like that before..." Mashu said.
"Yeah. Well then again, Shirou does influence her..." Ritsuka replied.
Omake
"Master, it's time to wake up."
Shirou moaned softly as he got out of bed, expecting to see Rider Arturia Alter...only to see Saber Arturia wearing a maid outfit.
"Um...Arturia...are you wearing..." Shirou said.
"Yes Shirou, and before you could ask, this was Irisviel's idea. And that included my counterparts as well."
Shirou sighed. Just how many plans did Irisviel make...
