Author's Note:
I have a little question for other Blue Archive fans. In your opinion, where do female students come from?
The population of Kivotos is made up of sentient animals, sentient robots, and schoolgirls with halos.
Sentient animals certainly reproduced like humans.
Sentient robots may have been built by a factory, another alternative is that a robot dad and a robot mom built a robot baby.
But where do the students who are all girls come from?
Were they grown in tanks in a laboratory under a hospital?
Or is it something stranger, little girls appear like mushrooms and whoever finds them first takes them to their schools?
If you have a theory or explanation, I'm happy to hear it.

Story Arc: Welcome to Kivotos
Episode 1: Let's take back the SCHALE Club building (I)
Chapter 1: Welcome Bruce-Sensei
Plot: Rin Nagami is facing a difficult week, but fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, Bruce-Sensei has arrived.
Shortly after the meeting with the eccentric Bruce-Sensei, a certain pink-haired Servant Rider will also appear on the scene.

Narrator's POV
The school town of Kivotos is going through a period of deep crisis that is getting worse with each passing day.
It all started a week ago, when the GSC President, the leader of Kivotos, disappeared without a trace.
The simple power vacuum is not the main problem or the cause of social disorder.
Without the GSC President, who holds administrative rights to the Sanctum tower which, in turn, controls infrastructure critical to the city's functioning, things quickly fell apart.
Electricity and running water throughout Kivotos went out, making it difficult to carry out most duties and public administration.
The only good thing is that all schools, large and small, are equipped with an emergency generator and a supply of food for emergencies.
Unfortunately, the generators and supplies were not designed to last long, currently most small schools have reported the death of their generators and have begun rationing food and water.
No one was surprised that in this situation problem students and delinquents decided to take advantage of the situation for their own gains.
The rate of micro and macro crime has skyrocketed, making the already precarious situation of Kivotos even worse.
These are only part of the problems that are affecting the city.
Everything seems destined to get worse, but from today things are about to get better.

Inside the Sanctum Tower, the heart and brain of the Kivotos school town, all people are working to find a solution or mitigate the damage as much as possible.
The person most aware and stressed about the current situation is Nagami Rin, the Vice President of the General Student Council, and the acting leader of Kivotos.
Rin is a 17 year old girl, 160 centimeters tall.
Rin has long, straight black hair, dark blue on the inside, which becomes more saturated towards the bottom, with an all-black fringe over her blue eyes and elf ears.
She wears a pair of silver oval reading glasses and a blue four-pointed star earring.
His halo appears as a dark blue crown that becomes lighter at the front with three stars of different sizes aligned a little to the right of the front.
Rin wears a standard white uniform with buttons and neck accents. He has a dark blue tie with three gold stars on it.
On his hands are a pair of short white gloves and on his waist is a white belt with gold buckles, holding a gun holster.
The uniform skirt has dark blue vertical lines and the General Student Council logo on it.
In addition to these, she wears a long-sleeved cape trench coat with a similar design. The inside of the coat has a blue starry print black tights and white high heels.
Rin's weapon is a Desert Eagle Mk. XIX L6 with dark blue grips, trigger and integrated muzzle brake.
Rin is walking in a hurry through the corridors of Sanctum Tower, needing to get to the missing president's office.
Unusually, Rin is carrying a black briefcase under her left armpit and in her right hand she is carrying a sleek black case for a keyboard or a sniper rifle.
Rin has been trying every possible way to find the GSC President for a week, but hasn't found any clues as to where she might be.
The same is true in his attempts to gain administrative rights to the Sanctum tower.
However, among these failures, Rin has managed to find a solution that can solve the problems that beset the school town of Kivotos.
When Rin searched the GSC President's office for clues to find her, she discovered the existence of a letter addressed to her.
The letter explains that the GSC President herself personally appointed a teacher, a person who comes from outside Kivotos.
This Sensei should reactivate Sanctum Tower's permissions and become the advisor/manager of the Schale club.
The letter also contained information on when and where Sensei would appear, as well as some precise advice and instructions to follow.
Rin finding out this information was both relieved and stressed. She is relieved because there is a solution to their problem, stressed because the solution is a stranger who could do more harm than good.
Shaking her head and trying not to think about the hypothetical negatives, Rin continues walking through the halls.
Soon, Rin arrived at the front door of the GSC President's office.
Putting down the long, thick rectangular case, Rin takes out his Smartphone and checks the time.
"There's still a few minutes until I'm supposed to get into the office." Rin mutters, putting her smartphone away.
Rin decided to take the letter written by the GSC President and reread it one more time, to make sure that she is following the instructions she received from her dear missing friend.
XXX
To my dear friend, Rinny.
I'm so sorry I had to leave and leave you to look after Kivotos.
Don't worry about me, I'm in a safe place and it's unlikely that anything bad will happen to me, at most I'll put on a few kilos.
But don't worry, even though I will have to leave for a while, I have taken steps so that Kivotos' future is secure.
Exactly one week after my disappearance, at 1:00 pm sharp in my office, a Sensei will arrive, a person from a very distant place.
His name is Bruce Bel Bahamut Belmont, but you can call him Bruce-Sensei, despite his androgynous/feminine appearance, he is a 24 year old adult man, with a lot of experience, qualities and an... eccentric behavior.
If there is a problem of political, war, administrative, medical, magical or scientific origin, Bruce-Sensei can help or manage the situation.
In my closet you will find a black envelope and a black case, you will have to bring them to Bruce-Sensei when you receive it.
The official and complex documents of what I want you to do with Bruce-Sensei, you can find them on my computer.
Rinny, I want to give you some warnings and advice on how to deal with Bruce-Sensei.
First of all, absolutely do not call him a half-breed, that word triggers a destructive rampage that will at the very least end in a demolished building and a long stay in hospital.
Second, don't try to make fun of his intelligence, if you call him stupid, you'll end up having to drink your meals through a straw.
Third, don't touch him or invade his personal space, he hates being touched without permission. So keep your hands at home until you receive permission.
Fourth, Bruce-Sensei is a Tsundere and a Kuudere, a Kuutsundere, at first it will be very difficult and demanding to get into his good graces, it will probably take months, but once done I shouldn't have to worry about anything.
Fifth, beware of his charisma, Bruce-Sensei has a long history of stealing women's hearts. But if you want to have a one night stand or a romantic story you have my blessings, but I would have many rivals
Sixth, I hear that Bruce-Sensei has a thing for girls with long ears who wear glasses and uniforms. So you have a head start, Rinny!
If that's not enough, try dressing up as a Witch, Magic Girl, Swordswoman, Priestess or French Maid ;-)
Seventh, if you can't wait for me to return to do the wedding, please take a nice video of the events and lots of photos.
Eight, if you don't end up enchanted by Bruce-Sensei, then you should check in on him at least once a day about what's going on.
Bruce-Sensei is a workaholic who could work day and night non-stop, whether it be bureaucratic chores, laboratory work or guerrilla operation.
Every now and then I have to bring someone back down to earth and take him to a restaurant.
I could give you more advice, but I have little space left on the letter.
Rinny, I'm sure you and Bruce-Sensei will keep Kivotos safe and happy.
XXX
Finishing rereading the letter, Rin can't help but blush at her friend's advice.
' Has the GSC President found a capable teacher to help Kivotos students or does she want to give me a boyfriend as an apology gift for disappearing.' Rin thinks, not knowing what her friend was thinking about her when she wrote the letter.
When 1pm arrived sharp, Rin grabbed the handle and opened the office door, hoping that this Bruce-Sensei was inside.
As the GSC President's letter said, inside the office there is a person who does not appear to belong to the city of Kivotos, as he does not have a halo above his head.
This person wears a skin-tight jumpsuit that looks like something out of a science fiction movie, with a short jacket over it that has a translucent veil that reaches down to the top of the knees.
This person has snow-white skin, slightly pointed ears, one golden eye, long lavender hair held in a long braid.
In his left hand is a block of obsidian the size of a Rubik's cube.
"You… are…" Rin asks with some hesitation, not being able to finish the question.
Taking a deep breath, Rin tries to ask her question again, "Are you... Sensei?"
The person stands up, revealing that he is six inches taller than Rin.
"I don't understand your question, can you be more precise?" The lavender haired person asks in a stoic voice, keeping his gaze fixed on Rin.
"You, you're Bruce-Sensei, right?" She asks Rin in a hopeful tone, desperately needing some good news.
"My name is Bruce Bel Bahamut Belmont." Proclaimed Bruce out loud, as if his name were something important and worth remembering.
" Primarily, I am an Occult Detective, but based on the need and requests of clients, I can provide other services.
In my ten years as an officer, I have taken several people with potential under my wings, training them to be extraordinary people." Bruce explains in a calm and eloquent voice.
Rin blinks, slightly surprised by how Bruce-Sensei speaks.
Based on the advice received from the GSC President's letter, Rin expected a tough person with a bad temper or a classic womanizer.
Instead, Bruce-Sensei seems like a rather calm and professional person, even if he is dressed strangely.
'However, my dear friend was not mistaken that Bruce-Sensei appears to be a woman or of indeterminate gender.' Rin thinks, sure she has met popular girls who are uglier and less elegant than Bruce-Sensei.
"Now that I've answered your question, can you tell me who you are?" Bruce asks, wanting to know who he's talking to.
"I am Nagami Rin, executive member of the student council of Kivotos School City." Rin replies, introducing himself properly.
"You are definitely the teacher we summoned here." Rin said, happy that the right person came along at the right time.
"Let me guess, something has happened that threatens your world, you don't know what to do to solve the crisis and you have decided to call in an external factor to solve the problem?" Bruce questions in a bored voice, placing a hand on his right temple.
"Has the GSC President informed you of what is going on?" She questions Rin with a surprised voice, believing that she should have spent hours to inform Bruce-Sensei of the recent events.
"I didn't have time to get any kind of briefing, I was just guessing." Bruce said as he leans against his desk and plays with his Black Cube.
"I don't want to speculate. I don't even know the specific details of your coming here, but have you ever had long-term, demanding assignments under less than favorable circumstances?" Rin asks, curious about Bruce-Sensei's CV.
In Rin's humble opinion, from the way Bruce-Sensei speaks it seems like he has faced similar situations before.
Bruce raises his right hand and makes the gesture that more or less means yes.
"Could you elaborate?" Rin asks kindly, wanting to know more.
"A third of my life story is about falling from the sky into disaster, meeting a woman who gives me a mission or a guideline, then I have to make the impossible possible to fix the situation." Bruce said, as if having an Isekai style experience was something that was everyday or at least something that happens regularly.
Bruce stops leaning on the desk and stands in front of Rin.
" In short, give me a brief account of where I am, an objective, a target and a weapon." Bruce states in a serious voice, looking the elf girl with glasses directly into her eyes.
' The GSC President wasn't joking. Bruce-Sensei is someone who isn't afraid to throw himself into work. Admirable, but I can't let him go blindly into Kivotos.' Rin thinks, feeling slightly intimidated and worried for Bruce-Sensei.
"Bruce-Sensei, you are probably confused and have many questions." Rin said, trying to start a reasonable discussion.
Bruce, seeing what Rin is trying to do, decided to sit back down and go at a slower pace.
"Confused is not the right word. I would say I'm a little disoriented and have a slight migraine." Bruce replies, placing a hand on his right temple.
"This situation is regrettable, but it is still something we have to deal with." Rin said, slightly more relaxed than before.
"It won't be the first or last time I have to do a job when I'm not at my best." Bruce comments with a bittersweet smile, moving his gaze to his left arm.
"Do you need medicine for a headache or something else?" Rin asks kindly, wanting to help as best he can.
Bruce slowly shakes his head in denial.
"Thanks, but I don't need any medicine, I'm a fast healer." Bruce responds, refusing to receive a painkiller.
"If you're sure you don't need medicine, I won't push." Rin said, respecting Bruce-Sensei's choice.
For a moment, the two stood in an awkward silence, embarrassing for Rin and an opportunity to think for Bruce-Sensei.
'Due to my unique and enhanced physiology, suffering from migraines is not natural, it must have been caused by something or someone.' Bruce thinks with a harsh note, hating when someone plays with his mind.
'When Zelretch sent me into the gap between worlds, I met a ghost woman with blue and pink hair... then everything was clouded, but I'm sure I made a promise. After that, I came here.' Bruce thinks, having the rare difficulty of remembering an event.
Rin not supporting the silence, did something to put an end to it.
"The GSC President, has given me clear instructions to hand over this dossier and this case to you." Rin said, handing Bruce the two items prepared specifically by the GSC President for him.
"Put them on the desk, I'll see what's in them right away." Bruce replies, pointing to the free desk in the office.
Rin without saying anything else places the file and case on the desk surface.
Bruce stands up and walks over to the desk, leaving his Black Cube sitting next to the case.
First of all, he takes the file and opens it, revealing it to be an employment contract for him.
"Rin, your boss has the sense to make a written contract with me, most of my ex-employers settle for a verbal agreement." Bruce said in a stoic tone, appreciating that he was receiving a real, authentic paper contract.
"Do you need me to give you a pen to sign? I don't see any pockets on your dress." Rin said with a light blush, trying not to look too much at Bruce-Sensei's tight space suit.
" Before signing a contract, I want to see the situation with my own eyes, read the document and have time to think about the pros and cons." Bruce said, not being stupid enough to sign an employment contract without reading it or understanding where he will be working.
"It's a very logical and reasonable thing to do." Rin said, seeing nothing wrong with Bruce-Sensei's actions.
Detective Occult quickly leafed through the contract, finding a letter addressed to him at the bottom of the file.
Setting down the employment contract, Bruce opens the letter and begins to read it in his head.
XXX
Dear Bruce-Sensei, I am sorry that I cannot welcome you personally and help you sort out the internal and external problems of Kivotos.
But Mr. Zelretch has convinced me that you are the most adaptable and hard-to-kill candidate I could hope for.
I'm even more sorry that I ruined your birthday by taking you to Kivotos instead of letting you celebrate with family and friends.
If it were up to me, I would have taken you the day after the celebration, but Mister Zelretch said that was the only time available due to the alignment between the two dimensions.
As an apology, I have prepared a welcome gift for you and taken steps to make your move to Kivotos as convenient as possible.
Finally, SCHALE's Sanctum Tower and Club Room are built under Leylines, so you can summon one of your Servant lovers.
Ps. If you have some free time, you could look after my friend Rinny, my disappearance must have deeply disturbed her and all the stress of keeping the city in gala, until your arrival, taking her to dinner every now and then.
Psst. Please do not disrupt Kivotos with your First Class Servants, forbidden magic, unstable experiments, or teaching overly advanced Magecraft to female students.
XXX
'This GSC President is proving to be a good person.
The other times I have been invoked, things are more chaotic, I receive no official apology or gifts or preparations for my arrival or information about the Leylines.' Bruce thinks as he closes the letter and puts it back on the desk.
"What did the letter say?" Rin questions, immensely curious about what was written.
"Several apologies from your missing boss and a request to take care of Rinny, she wants me to take you to dinner sometimes." Bruce said, giving a short summary, omitting certain contents of the letter.
Rin blushes slightly at the idea of having dinner with Bruce-Sensei.
'Why does my friend want match-ups? ' Rin thinks, unable to understand the GSC President's reasons and actions.
Bruce leaving Rin to solve her questions on her own decided to open the rectangular case.
Opening the two clamp-lock fastening straps, Bruce reveals the contents of the case: an arsenal of weapons, Batman-worthy gear and other small things.
Above are a mix of modern and archaic weapons, all well organized and brand new, placed so they're easy to see and pull out of the case.
A folding bow and a set of ten arrows; ten throwing knives; a pair of semi-automatic pistols and two magazines; a whip; a futuristic-looking short sword and a pair of retractable escrima bastions.
At the bottom of the case is a paramilitary combat suit with different protection, a black cloak with a hood, a futuristic-looking gas mask, a utility belt and other gadgets.
"Promises well." Bruce mutters, before taking out one of the throwing knives and starting to examine it closely.
'Why on earth would my friend give a teacher from outside Kivotos a case full of equipment and weapons, including some obsolete ones?' Rin thinks, taking a small peek at the contents of the case.
Rin like all the students of Kivotos, except for some anomalies, do not use sidearms, making use only of firearms and their unique abilities.
Bruce who clearly has a different ideology did several knife tricks, followed by some stabs into the air.
Once he finished playing with the edged weapon, for the first time since Bruce arrived here, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Rinny, your boss is a person who knows how to treat her business partners well. Many people have something to learn from her." Bruce said, maintaining his faint smile as he puts the throwing knife away.
'I admit he's cute when he smiles.' Rin thinks, unable to deny that Bruce-Sensei is aesthetically pleasing.
Bruce took off his jacket, throwing it straight towards a coat rack in the office.
Then, Bruce fools his fingers and the clothes he's wearing slowly begin to melt...
"Bruce-Sensei your clothes!?" Rin exclaims with a worried voice, pointing to the tight spacesuit of the GSC President's chosen teacher.
The part of Bruce's spacesuit covering his back has melted away, revealing a couple of scars and a huge dragon tattoo.
Rin's cheeks turned red.
"This is a function of my suit, it is made of a special rather malleable material that can easily switch between solid, gelatinous and liquid states." Bruce explains in a calm voice as the parts of the suit covering his arms and legs have melted.
Rin couldn't help but stare at Bruce-Sensei's arms, noticing strange tattoos on the inside of each forearm.
Rin's heart begins to beat much faster than before, feeling like she's doing something bad, she looks down at the floor.
"Why would you ever create such a dress?" Rin questions, her face all red like a tomato.
"This technology allows you to take off and put on complicated clothes in a few tens of seconds.
A suit made from this material fits your measurements perfectly and has limited self-repair and self-cleaning capabilities." Bruce explains in a calm, stoic voice the benefits of his invention.
Currently, Bruce's skin-tight suit resembles a school bathing suit, but much tighter and ready to fall off at any moment.
"Aren't you embarrassed?" Rin questions with a trembling voice as her elf ears also turn red.
"I am a man without shame, incapable of feeling embarrassment and shame. Honestly, I don't understand the taboo of nudity and other social taboos." Bruce said, finally showing the eccentric or antisocial side of him.
Bruce turns and begins to take the equipment out of the rectangular case, wanting to try them out before leaving the office.
"I have no problem if you see me naked or watch me wearing my welcome gift." Bruce said in a voice before emotion or discomfort.
At that moment, what was left of Bruce's suit melted completely, forming a black-purple puddle on the floor.
Rin's eyes saw Bruce-Sensei's white skin marked by some scars and several tattoos.
The most elaborate and complex tattoos are a raven tattoo on his left shoulder, a snake tattoo around his neck and a huge crimson tattoo on his chest in the shape of a diamond from which seven pairs of wings extend.
Rin's vision drooped to her bottom and her brain short-circuited.
Rin covered her eyes with her hands, not wanting to look any further at the slim and cute body of the GSC President's chosen teacher.
Maybe it's a hallucination or an unknown passive ability of Rin's, but the halo has started to smoke.
"Bruce-Sensei, you will find me outside the room!" Rin shouts with a completely red face, running out of the office as fast as she can.
By some miracle, Rin made it out of the room without hitting the door or tripping.
Bruce stood at the desk, taking out and examining semi-automatic pistols.
"To this day I still don't understand why people are so shy and modest about nudity, it's not like I have something that others don't have." Bruce mutters, lowering his guns and placing them on the desk.
"Well, my body has undergone internal and external changes over the years.
But I still have a classic humanoid appearance, especially in this form made for everyday life." Bruce said, taking a quick look at his current form which on the surface respects the biology of a male human.
"If I'm alone, we take advantage of the moment and the position." Bruce said, touching the Daedalus Cube, sending them a command.
The artifact emits a faint glow that revises the floor, walls and ceiling of the office.
At the same time, the raven and snake tattoo moved slightly on Bruce's skin, as if they were living beings.
"No one can come in, no one can anyone, no one can spy on what's going on here anymore. The Bounded Fields are so useful." Bruce said, making a circular motion with his right hand.
The black-purple puddle on the floor moved, becoming a perfect circle.
Bruce made more hand gestures, the perfect circle becoming a magic summoning circle.
"Time to bring a trusted assistant to this teacher." Bruce said with a small smile on his lips.
The Occult Detective takes the Black Cube and throws it into the center of the summoning circle.
Instead of falling to the floor, the Daedalus Cube floats in the center of the circle.
Bruce takes a couple of steps forward and raises his right hand towards the summoning circle and the magical artifact.
" The curtain rises again for this epic that is not over yet.
Hear me!"Bruce begins to speak the verses of the spell.
The Cube of Daedalus has begun to rotate on its axis, getting faster and faster.
"Heroic Spirits, Noble Souls, Nefarious Souls, Souls Lost and Found!
I am the one who will lead you into battle and bring you to your resting place."Bruce continues to cast the spell as all the magical components of his body activate one by one.
"Mighty warriors of sword, bow and spear!
I am the one who is blessed by heaven." Bruce said, focusing solely on the invocation of the Servant and nothing else.
"Great tamers, wise sorcerers, mad beasts and masters of shadows!
I am he who is cursed from the depths."Bruce continues to play his part perfectly.
The Cube of Daedalus, using pure and perfected magical energy, is releasing a miasma of Spiritrons which are used to build the body of a Servant.
"Women close to holiness, men marked by vengeance, people created by desires and those who come from the outside!
I'm the one who seeks balance." Bruce said, getting closer to the end of his spell.
The Cube of Daedalus using what is inside it, releases one completely white Class Cards, which serves as a core or vessel for the Saint Graph of the Servant.
"Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker, Ruler, Avenger, Alter Ego, Foreigner!
By your return, I will become your anchor to this world!"Bruce proclaims, feeling one threads connect again between himself and the soon to come Servant.
The Cube of Daedalus is about to finalize the process, using the systems and components inside it, it invokes one heroic soul in the material world.
"I have great heroes and heroines of human history, I invoke you before me!"Bruce shouts aloud, pouring all of his energy into this magic.
Simultaneously, Daedalus Cube released one last burst of magical energy, which serves as the glue to bring the three components together to materialize the Servant.
FLASH!
This process created a blinding flash of light that engulfed the entire church.
The soul of a Heroic Spirit has entered the Class Cards, transforming it into an authentic Saint Graph.
Subsequently, the Saint Graph uses the miasma composed of Spiritron to construct his physical bodies.
When the flash of light disappeared, in the center of the summoning circle appeared, Servant Rinder, Astolfo.
Astolfo is an unparalleled bishounen, 164 cm tall, weighs 56 kg, his three dimensions are: B71/L59/H73.
Her hair is red held in a long French braid and her eyes are purple.
Astolfo wears hair ornaments, which look like something a princess would wear.
The pink haired boy is wearing white boots with gold detailing, black thigh-length stockings with garter belt, a tight black one-piece dress with long sleeves.
Above the suit are several pieces of white and red light armor covering the hands, forearms, thighs, chest and shoulders.
{Author's Note: Astolfo currently uses the least amount of magical energy, thus the default aspect of the First Ascension).
" Astolfo-chan is the first to arrive at the party!" Astolfo exclaims with a big smile, making the V sign with his fingers.
'Cute, silly and full of positive energy, this is Astolfo.' Bruce thinks in a fond Tsundere style way.
"I'm sorry, Astolfo, but there won't be any party, there have been some sudden changes in plans." Bruce said in a calm voice, going back to checking the equipment.
"I understand, you've decided to spend your birthday with just me." Astolfo said with a big smile and an emotional tone, clearly not understanding what happened to his Master.
Astolfo approaches Bruce and hugs him from behind, holding him tightly.
"What does my dear husky want to do for his big day?" Astolfo asks in a pleasantly provocative tone.
Bruce remained completely unchanged and immobile at Astolfo's affectionate gesture.
This may seem mean, but the simple fact that Astolfo can do it without fear of consequences or being stopped means a lot.
"My little bishounen, I don't want to recreate scenes from a Yaoi novel with you at the moment." Bruce said in a firm, but kind tone, nipping Astolfo's idea in the bud.
Astolfo's smile weakened, but he remained happy and his embrace did not stop.
"Then why are you naked?" Astolfo asks with a confused tone, having misunderstood the circumstances.
" I took off my clothes to wear my gift from Rin's boss." Bruce explains in a stoic tone.
"Is Rin Tohsaka here?" Astolfo questions, raising an eyebrow, not knowing another person named Rin.
"No, Tohsaka's heir is not around.
An elf with a halo named Rin Nagami stands outside the room, waiting for me to come out dressed and armed, so I can save the school town of Kivotos from disaster." Bruce gave a little summary of what he is about to do.
Astolfo blinks in confusion, having never heard something as strange as an elf girl with a halo.
Astolfo interrupts the embrace, aware that the moments of cuddles have not arrived.
"Master, can you tell me what happened?" Astolfo asks, placing his hands on his hips.
" Zelretch gave me a gift and I ended up getting a teaching job at this place." Bruce said, knowing that Astolfo doesn't need to hear all the details.
"Master, how do you always end up in situations like this?" Astolfo asks, shaking his head slightly.
"I am simultaneously the luckiest and unluckiest man in the world." Bruce replies with an indifferent tone, having grown accustomed to a chaotic lifestyle for years.
"Master, I remind you that I am your sword, your blade, your arrow, you can count on me for anything." Astolfo declares with a serious voice that rarely appears on his face.
"I am aware of your faithfulness and devotion." Bruce said, not needing a reminder of how Astolfo feels about him.
"Help me get dressed, once I leave this office we have a lot to do." Bruce said, wanting to be prepared for the immense adventure/misadventure.
" With great pleasure!" Astolfo exclaims, smiling enormously at the idea of helping his Master wear his new clothes.
"I remind you, Astolfo, not to linger too long or I'll slap you." Bruce tells the pink haired boy a little warning.
Astolfo blushes for a moment and begins to play with his braid.
"And as unpleasant as it is, you will have to remain in your spirit form until I say otherwise." Bruce said with a serious tone, not wanting to reveal the existence of the Servants to Rin and the other inhabitants of Kivotos.
"Understood, I'll be a good boy, but later I want to be able to cuddle with my dear husky." Astolfo said in a sweet tone, placing a hand on Bruce's chest.
Detective Occult doesn't hesitate to pinch Astolfo's cheek to make him behave.
'Master why did you have to be a Tsundere?' Astolfo thinks, while he receives his "punishment".
