Life As A Chaldean Master

We All Have Those Days

When You Think You're Alone, Remember There's Someone Out There That Cares For You.

"Yo, Ristuka. What are you doing here by yourself? I thought you were supposed to be with the Servants having that party." Sonic said

"*Looks At Sonic* Oh, hey Sonic... Sorry, I just wanted to spend time by myself. Get my head cleared after everything we have been through..." Gudao replies

"You don't look too excited or happy right now, buddy. What's wrong? Do you want to talk to me for a bit? No one is around except the two of us here. You can share anything with me." Sonic stated

"I said I'm fine, Sonic... It's just... *Sighs* My mind has been all over the place for a bit now... I can't focus on anything without having to stress myself... I am not trying to trauma-dump you, but things just haven't been the best for me... Especially when everything is happening around us..." Gudao stated

"Whoa there, where is this all coming from? You don't have to apologize for anything. I'm always here to talk whenever you need it. That goes for you and the other Ristu." Sonic said

"I see... If that's the case, am I useful to you and Chaldea? Am I that necessary for you guys here?" Gudao asks

"..."

"It's just one of those times when it seems like my work here isn't necessary. You and the Servants are strong individuals in your ways. I can't do anything while I'm just a human who has to sit back and watch you guys fight. I watch and hope you come out safe... It seems you guys have it under control and don't need assistance from the other Ritsuka or us..." Gudao commented

"I can tell where you're coming from, buddy. Just because you're an average human doesn't mean you aren't weak, either. I know for a fact that you're stronger than you believe. What about those times you saved me and the Servants from certain death? You can't forget about that, right?" Sonic stated

"Yeah... But that was because my adrenaline kicked in, and I needed to act fast. Besides that, nothing else makes me special or different from anyone else..." Gudao replies

"Don't kick yourself down, buddy. We do have those feelings at times when it seems we aren't needed. We think that our presence is only causing further issues. I have dealt with that feeling before, and it isn't a good one, I can tell you that. But even still, whether you have unique traits or not, you can become as strong and amazing as the rest of us! As if you weren't amazing to begin with." Sonic explains

"But how can I become as great as you or the Servants? I want to do more than what I'm being given right now... I want to prove to everyone that I can fight and defend myself instead of relying on all of you to save me! Sonic, please be honest with me. Am I useful, or am I just wasting space for Chaldea? " Gudao said

"Fuji... *Folds His Arms And Looks Out At The Distance* Listen to me for a second; Chaldea wouldn't be around if we never existed. Humanity still needs help in restoring it. Despite the different backgrounds we all come from, we formed a team to take back what's important. *Looks At Gudao Again* You're home, Fuji. Whether small or not, you have a role in taking back this place you call home. This place means more to all of you than myself; I just happened to be in the crossfire. But I'm still doing what I can to save Humanity, even if it's not my home." Sonic explains

"..."

"Our friends, the friends that are here or no longer with us, we made a promise to finish what was taken from them. We assured them that we would do anything in our power to avenge them; I would rather have myself killed than see thousands of innocent lives taken from them. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is hoping for our victory. A victory that seems difficult but not impossible. And we can't do this without those willing to help; that includes you, buddy. We wouldn't have made it this far without you, even if you don't have powers or anything." Sonic continues on

"... I see... Because of our constant battles trying to save the planet, the stress inside me has continued to build up, and I just kept it all in... Now it's all flooding everywhere... there's a bigger issue currently happening, and I'm here struggling with my issues..." Gudao commented.

"It's okay, buddy. Sometimes, we must take a moment and not push ourselves that much. As tedious as this journey has been, there are always times when we can sit back and relax without worrying about anything. So don't be saddened just because you're a human; you've done enough to prove that you're willing to risk your life to save a friend and more. And as a return, I'll continue to help you no matter what." Sonic replies

"Thanks, Sonic... I'll try to do everything I can to help you guys out. I may not be perfect, but at least I'm doing something to help. I can't let anybody down. You are all my friends, and I love you all as equally." Gudao said

"That's what I like to hear. Just remember to always stop by if you want to talk. I'm always here for a chat. You got that, future master of Chaldea?" Sonic stated

"Heh. You do know how to make someone smile, Sonic. Thanks. *He Gives Sonic A Fist Bump Soon After* Well, I guess I have to get back to work then. I don't want to leave any work behind." Gudao said

"Hey, what's the rush? We have a party that's still ongoing. It's a day to have fun. Everyone is having a blast, and you should be as well." Sonic replies

"Oh shoot, I forgot about that. Sorry... guess my working self came out there just now." Gudao said

"Don't worry about it, you just go have fun with Mash, Ritsu, Olga, Sion, and the rest. Sides heard there was going to be a karaoke soon." Sonic stated

"I can go for some karaoke right now. Alright then, let's get going." Gudao commented
