Life As A Chaldean Master

Not All That It Seems

"*Staring At Sonic As He Was Talking With The Servants And Enjoying Himself* (Look at how far you've come, Sonic... From becoming a Master because of a freak accident and never given proper training towards a regular Magus... And being a talking animal from another world, you still managed to gather all these servants around you who looked up to you to the highest degree. Who knew someone like you would be able to accomplish such a thing, considering everything that I just said right now... Even when everything seems impossible, you still have a big smile and never feel the thought of giving up...)" Consort Yu thought.

"*Analyzing The Drawing That Eliza Drew For Him* Wow, thank you, Liz! You made this all by yourself?" Sonic asks

"I did it all by myself! I wanted to show my love to you, Master! You're the best Master I could ever wish for!" Eliza exclaimed

"Not exactly the greatest Master, but I'm doing what I can to keep you guys smiling. It's better than having our heads down and not expressing ourselves. But either way, thank you, kiddo~ *Hugs Eliza As She Hugs Him Back*" Sonic commented.

"Howdy, Master? Do you care to join Gerinomo, Robin Hood, and me in some target practice? Hunting season is just around the corner, and we've been planning on taking it on for a bit now." Billy the Kid asks

"Sure, I'd like to join you three for some hunting. Those Dragons aren't ready for what's coming!" Sonic replies

"Hey, wait a minute! Anchin and I already have plans together! We would travel to his world and visit the Emerald Coast together!" Kiyohime exclaimed

"Since when have you two got to decide to take Sonic away from me?! He and I were going to kick some of that scientist's ass and destroy his machines! Far better than killing Dragons and going to the beach!" Mori Nagayoshi exclaimed loudly

"Ugh... This happens every time someone makes plans with SOnic... Always leads to an argument with no winners at the end..." Super Orion commented

"Ehehehe... Come on, guys, let's calm our horses for a bit here..." Sonic pleaded.

"Oh, My Master, would it be alright if you let Big Brother and I visit Greece in your world? I heard through the great vein that it's as beautiful and colorful as Greece here." Pollux asks

Suddenly, more and more Servants begin to hog around Sonic as they also wish to spend time with the lonely Blue Hedgehog. Sonic was understandably overwhelmed by everything and by the sudden environmental change.

"Someone help..." Sonic pleaded

"Yeah... But there is a downside for Sonic and extreme kindness to everyone... He should check that out himself. A little too nice, if I'm being honest." Consort commented

"There are no signs of anything wrong with Master as far as I can see with him," Nightingale stated

"O-Oh, Nurse Nightingale! I didn't see you heading towards me just now." Consort Yu surprised

"Good day to you, Mrs. Yu; it seems you have been focusing on Sonic for quite some time now. Would it be because you still can't fully grasp that he's a Master with those Servants surrounding him? Or is it something else that you want to know about him?" Nightingale stated

"It's all good, Nurse. I am accustomed to Sonic being a Master; I have nothing terrible against him right now and am happy to be contracted to him. But it's still eye-opening to see Sonic in this position, knowing he had a different path to becoming a Master. Achieving a Master's status without any knowledge and being able to handle this many Servants compared to this many Servants isn't what you hear in the world of Magus. I guess I'm so used to the usual path Magus takes to become a Master that there can be no other way to achieve being a Master that quickly." Consort Yu explained

"I see. Based on the information you've given me, Chaldea recruited you. It was chosen as one of many Master candidates when they discovered your potential—hiding your identity until recently. A description like that wouldn't be seen as suspicious to a regular being compared to Master, who was sent here to this world and became a qualified Master after a freak accident. So I can understand why you'll be surprised by Sonic's history, especially his acting as a Master, which is entirely different from regular Magus. It's surprising but welcoming to have such a Master allowing us Servants to roam freely and choose our paths. *Looks At Sonic, Who Was Calming Everyone From Getting Angry At One Another And Starting A Fight* He may not seem much to an outsider, but he does his best to keep everything situated. I envy him." Nightingale stated

"So you have no issues with Sonic? What about those times when he summons a new Servant? They don't know how to feel knowing someone like Sonic summoned him. I recall a few times when Sonic had to work constantly to gain a certain Servant's trust." Consort Yu said

"It was indeed an issue for Sonic when he was new, increasing the ranks and trying to gain everyone's trust. Some dealt with him, while others didn't trust him as a practical Master. It was difficult for him at first, but as time passed, the more the Servants understood Master's trust, purpose, and reason for fighting, the more They would eventually gain his trust and fight alongside him. Bonds increased dramatically. An amazing story that only a Magus can imagine." Nightingale replies

"Hey, Master! Catch! *Throws A Football Towards Sonic*" Nemo called out

The Servants surrounding Sonic noticed the Football heading toward them as they jumped back to prevent being hit, but Sonic jumped, caught the ball with his chest, and began to juggle it.

"Wow! That's some amazing technique, Sonic!" Alexander excited

"Yeah, you got this, Master!" Kid Gil exclaimed

"Always a show-off he is. What's the next thing? Kick the ball inside a trash bin?" Mordred commented

"Hey! That sounds like a great idea! *Kicks The Ball High And Kicks It As It Comes Back Down. The Ball Enters One Of The Trash Bins, As Everyone Begin To Cheer For Him* It's all thanks to training for the Olympics!" Sonic stated

"SONIC! SONIC! SONIC!" Everyone cheered

"Hmmmm... I guess this proves your point, Nurse Nightingale. It's at least refreshing to see a Master who smiles and brings positivity around. I forgot he allows seconds to those who messed up before, including me. Thanks to Sonic, I could reunite with my loving husband, who allowed me to redeem myself. Someone like me... A former Crypter shouldn't receive this treatment after everything I've done..." Consort Yu stated

"He would be happy knowing you're improving and fixing everything left behind. But he only wants more from you to smile and enjoy life as much as possible. A quote he's told me before." Nightingale replies

"..."

"Overall, Master is a kind and excellent being to be around. Yes, he's a talking animal and wasn't trusted initially, but that has changed for the better. As for me, I'll continue caring for his injuries until the end." Nightingale commented

"I never truly realized his impact on all of you. From being sworn enemies to now allies, I can't think of anything negative outside the cocky persona he likes to put on. But that's what makes who he is, right? So, I'm not that pushy about it. Thank you for giving me more insight into Sonic and his reasons." Consort Yu stated

"Glad to be helpful to you," Nightingale replies

"Yo, Yu!" Sonic called out

"O-Oh, Sonic...! How can I help you, Senpai?"

"Wanna go check up on the Ritsukas' right now? Heard they got a promotion recently, and I wanna congratulate them~" Sonic asks

"... Sure. I have nothing going on now and haven't seen what those two have been doing lately. I don't see any issue doing so." Consort Yu replies

"Great! But I know you're not fond of humans, so I won't force you to do anything." Sonic stated

"Don't worry about that, Senpai. I can deal with those better than anyone else around. They are so easy to tease around, making it more fun. Alright, let's go." Consort Yu said
