Chapter 6: Shower Thoughts

11/1/2030

18:34

After finally getting two days of rest, I've decided to head back to my castle, it's not like I don't want to check on Tamamo and her search, but knowing her she'll not go too far, I hope.

Getting on to the ship I am at the top deck watching the horizon while having a bored face.

I did get used to teleport, to the point that I didn't even travel by foot before. While mumbling under my breath Nameless suddenly walk up to me.

"Hey, Master."

"Hey Nameless, so any report?"

"No nothing so far, but from what I've heard is that after announcing it to the public, it's been chaos ever since then."

"I knew it," I sighed, Tamamo, I love you, I do, but you need to know when, or when not to go overboard, I guess she never changes.

"Also, another piece of news I heard, the boy tries to flee to the next city, likely it's Mare Carcer since it's the closest City, he can't even hide in the small towns in between."

"I guess we're going to Nero's territory then, so did we find him yet?"

"As of right now there's still no new report the last time, we've seen of him is when he tried to flee from the Millennium Capital."

Well, I guess his a slippery one, after deciding to go to Nero's territory instead of Tamamo, I sat down and relax for a moment.

Even with two days of rest, my body still feels stiff, but I can't even remember what I did to make my body get so tired.

I try to make sense of what is happening to everything around me, but thinking only gets my head hurt.

As I massage my head, my mind instantly goes back to him:

Ritsuka Fujimaru

Ever since I've seen him (in my dreams) I, for some reason, feel so nostalgic.

But I've never even met him even before I became a master, so who is he, why do I feel so nostalgic seeing his face?

I look out the window to see the sun setting.

It's almost supper, I guess I'll eat dinner, and after that, I'll go to sleep immediately.

In a world full of fire, I've seen him struggle, finding refuge or signs of life, not one did he find.

With skeleton monsters trying to attack him he dodges; I try to help but my feet are stuck on the ground.

So, I can't help but just watch.

He is suddenly cornered with no escape he just closed his eyes, accepting his fate when suddenly.

*CLANG*

A big shield blocks the attack of the skeleton and I hear a voice.

"Are you ok senpai?"

"Mash?"

The Previous girl now wears a knight but a skimpy outfit wielding a big shield, as she blocks the attack, then bashes the skeleton.

"Stand back, Senpai- no I guess I call you officially, stand back and give me orders, Master!"

And with my own eyes, I saw how Ritsuka Fujimaru became a master.

I open my eyes, still feeling tired, and remember my dream just now.

"Another one of those dreams again?"

I got up from my bed yawned, and stretched my back.

I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth, before taking a shower.

While feeling the hot water falling on my naked body, I began to think about what will happen when the two of us met.

What would I feel when I finally saw him face to face?

Would I be angry for him stealing the regalia?

Would I be glad to see him?

Would I even care if I saw him?

This is running through my thoughts as I clean myself.

But thinking about it now, I'm kind of excited to meet him. Maybe because I'm curious to know what kind of person he is.

But even then, what would he think of me?

Would he be shocked?

Would he be confused?

Would he even care about it?

These are my last thoughts as exit the shower and dry myself with a towel.

After getting my body dry, I dressed up and exit my room.

"Master good timing we're almost on land now." Said Cu while twirling his spear with a bored face.

After a few more minutes we were already on land and began to walk towards Nero's territory.

"Hey, does Nero know we are going to her castle?" I ask, while Cu and Archer, look at each other, and have a wry smile.

"Yeah, well we did inform her you are going there and well…

"My praetor is going to visit?! Thein this is marvelous, indeed marvelous! We will throw a carnival befitting for my praetor's arrival in my beloved kingdom, Gawain inform the others already!"

"And that's basically what happened."

I only look at them dumbfounded, before pinching my nose.

"Of course…" I muttered before just smiling, well I am, pretty hungry myself so a carnival would not be a bad idea, I just hope that Nero, won't go overboard, again.

As we continue our walk suddenly, Cu and Nameless suddenly stop.

"Cu? Nameless?"

Instead of answering my question Cu twirls his spear, and Nameless summons his twin swords.

"Master, run."

Nameless suddenly said that when…

SCREECH*

A large screech sound is heard and a giant worm-like monster appeared, shock I can't react in time before, but at the very last second, Nameless saved me, and Cu engages the monster, and in a matter of seconds the monster is cut into pieces by Cu's spear.

"Wha…What happened...?"

I ask, the attack is so sudden, I'm frozen in my place, if Nameless hadn't saved me I would've been dead by now.

Just as I began to question what going on again, I hear a clapping noise.

"Clap, clap, clap, impressive, what I expected on Nero Claudius Knights." Said the person on top of the cliff.

"Who are ya'?"

Cu said not even acknowledging her remarks and only taking his stance with his spear ready to attack when given the signal.

"Sorry child of light, but I've got no business with you same with the Guardian over there." Said the person who I know now is for sure a girl's voice.

"Oh, where are my manners, normally as a heroic spirit and a servant I would never reveal my true name but, not in this case, me revealing my name is not a disadvantage to me at all so let me introduce myself."

I finally get the full picture of the servant's appearance, she is a teenage girl, definitely Japanese, with long black hair that reaches to her knees and some part of her hair is dyed blue and red, she is wearing a revealing outfit with an open jacket that shows her breast.

A pretty face that unfortunately is covered by a smug arrogant smile, that is full of hatred.

"My name is Sei Shonagon, an Archer Class Servant, one of the servants of Velber, unpleasure to meet you, you trashy wielder of Regalia."

I'm back sorry for the short chapter on this one I'm busy finishing up some clearance for my school year.

Also, Chapter 7 will be a continuation of this chapter so we wont see what will happen to Ritsuka for another chapter atleast.

I hope you like this chapter, if you have any questions feel free to comment on them, I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability.
