---------------

[She brought that glasses girl along. This place looks better than any place she has visited in the island]

"First...What's your name? I am Hakuno"

[Ayaka's dragged along by.. is it safe to call her friend?]

Hah.. hah.. you're fast..

[Now let her breath, new friend.]

Hakuno? Isn't that a cool name?

[Smiled as she said that to Hakuno. Doesn't feel dangerous, or like an enemy to Ayaka.]

I'm Ayaka. Sajyou Ayaka.

"Is it? thank you"

[She feels a bit of relief. Actually that was never her true name, but..let it slide.]

"I hope you are fine with more serious talking. It is not that I want to dissect your privacy life,.."

[Hakuno gulps.]

"Are you...a master?"

[Feels good to make friends. Even though they are.. somewhere.. on what it looks like an abandoned island.]

Serious talk? What do you mean by serious talk?

[Hakuno's question about master surprised her a little. But, still, surprised.]

What do you mean by master?

[Trying to hide it. Pretend to not know about the master she's talking about, if it means Holy Grail.]

[Not sure, but you are a bad liar, Ayaka. Even the airhead Hakuno can realize it]

"Saber is...your servant. .ain't it"

[Gil always suggest her to get things exactly to the point whenever she wants to talk. She is doing it.]

What? How could she..

[Saber is Ayaka's servant. Ayaka is Saber's master. Master, servant, seal, and war. How did Hakuno knows about that is a mystery to Ayaka.]

Unless you're a master.

You're also.. servant..

[She starts to worry if Hakuno and her servant means a part of the this year's war.]

"Well...Yes. I am a Master of a Servant"

[She does not seem like it when she reveal them all. But assuming this girl suffers the same, she has no choice.]

"So..there is another Master and Servant. That means.."

[Hakuno is asking herself. Are you enemy? are we enemy? am I enemy?]

[Sad is they are fated to be enemy of each other and other masters and servants. These two just met.

It would be nice if this is just a competition or something like NBA or world cup. No need for them to kill to win. No need of sacrifice or corpse. Just.. no harm.]

Does that mean.. we..

I can't believe this. If we're destined to be opponents of each other and other masters..

[She could have summoned his servant to attack her or Saber.]

[Shrouded by uncertainty.]

{{Suddenly italics won't work. ;~;}}

[No, She can't summon her servant now, because he is currently not-in-so-tame mode. She is the one alerted that probably Saber will come and harm her out of anything.]

"..I..don't want us to be enemies,"

[Sure, like that is believable.]

"Honestly I dislike the war"

Hakuno..

[Ayaka refuses the idea of them being enemies too. But, curse this war.. or what made it exist.]

I do not wish to fight you, Hakuno.

We both hate the war.

Yes. We both hate the war. Perhaps our background are similar?

Tell me. What makes you a Master?

"I just..."


[Hakuno slips a break because of her traumatizing memory.]

"I was going to die when suddenly a voice heard. As haughty as he is, he saved my life. And he is now my Servant. That is the history"

[Did you listen, Ayaka? Can you imagine? The two of you are alike.]

.....

That must be..

Scary.

Since then, we became the lead character of our own story.

[Bond of Master and Servant, battles, murders, those are no longer nightmare. It's real.]

"Umm..yes. But my Servant is kind of ..more scarier."

[If you have imagined him he's like the all chivalrous Saber class, You're wrong, Ayaka. He is not knight in shining armor. Well..his armor does shines, though. Too bright more than a diamond.]

"Hmm..I wonder if he will obey if I call him now"

[Meet and greet wouldn't be bad, right? A red symbol of her servant's tattoo glows, but it is unknown whether the summon succeeded or not.]

[She didn't call me but Saber is worried so he came even before Ayaka summons him.]

"Ayaka, the sharks and the tsunami is quite a mess, I am worried"

[But it seems she is okay...except what is that wavy girl beside her doing?]

[And of course he comes, a summoning spell isn't something trivial, normally people would use it only in most important cases. And when the spell is used without even contacting him using telepathy before the summoning, it is surely as dangerous as it can be. And he arrives, ready to hit anything that try to harm his "master". But after arriving, nothing seems to be in danger. Not even a murderous intent.]

Do tell me the thing I need to fight suddenly escape when he hears my name or are you foolish enough to call me for something insignificant?

[He uses intimidating stoic smile in the word "insignificant".]

[Before, she thought that the first servant coming was her, but...no, he's different. Could it be he is this glasses' girl master? he spontaneously report at her and seemingly worried.

Before Hakuno has the chance to get to know about that servant, suddenly another light appears, and this time, it is the cocky Servant of her. And as usual, he is in super bad mood..again. Or no?]

"I don't know if we should fight...I mean..they are.."

[Saber was curious about that girl and intended to thank her because it seems that girl had saved Ayaka.

..that is until she summoned the Servant of her. He had no Idea that she is a Master. But he is more oblivious that her servant is..]

"..Archer?!"

[Before Hakuno even explain he immediately pushes Ayaka behind him, acting as a shield. That golden attribute, red eye and haughty attitude. It should be no one but him, no matter how he change look.]

"Bastard, So you chase us here!"

[But there is something weird. He never remember that Archer's master is a high school girl. Saber decide to not take risk though. Ayaka had once almost dying. He does not want that.]

Saber! Wait!

[She didn't wish for this to happen. However, to see the other servant here, THAT servant, Ayaka's shaking in fear.]

Hakuno. I..

[Trying to gain her composure. She shook her head.]

We don't have to fight, do we?

[Who the hell is this guy? Claiming to know him as if they have met before. He is a famous king, so being known is not a weird thing and he can sense that the guy is also a servant. But this guy, out of thin air, called him a bastard.]

The people around here really have a death wish, don't they?

[But he is a bit curious about the situation, so he doesn't kill him on the spot.]

Unless, you want to be dead, remind me of how we have met before.

[Saber holds tight Ayaka's hand. He understand that she is really scared of that servant being. By no mistake..it is that archer! the way he talks and everything cannot deceive him.]

"...Are trying to play prank on us, now? Should I ever remind you how nasty your trick when you tried to rape posses Ayaka?"

[Hold it Saber. don't let emotion got into you. Calm. calm. you are a King. That is what Saber repeats on his mind. ]

Saber!

[Too ashamed to remember. But that was quite the impression she gets from Archer. Will there be another something unexpected given from servant of the other side?]

No need to mention that one! Just..

..don't fight.

[Both masters and servants are here. What to do other than fight?]

[Without her realize it, she hold her servant's hand tighter.]

I did say remind me, didn't I? Or you worms are so stupid that I need to repeat those words?

[Whatever, he doesn't care anymore now it run or die for the foolish blondie. Unless Gil's master is quick enough to use her command spell to stop the attack, he will kill him and her. He summons up a few portal behind him.]

Remind him, he said.

.....

He doesn't remember? What's up with this.. Archer?

[And how are you going to remind him of something and anything else, Ayaka? You were so scared when he was that close to you, if you remember. Now that you see him again. The three of you are on the same floor, in the same place, again. What kind of reunion is this?]

Can we just talk about it? Just.. this time..

[Hm..that is weird. There has been something weird with her Servant. Gil is indeed actually always being self-centered and frank, but even so, He is not easily agitated like that. Even when he is arguing with Gawain or receive insult from Karna.]

"Hold it. We do not need unecessary fight!"

[Even so, that saber servant looks really agitated. what did Gil ever do to her? There must be some misunderstanding. She knows Gil have that potential but he is not that way.]

"My Servant, he..had been asleep for so long and just awakened recently. Perhaps it is another one you have argument with"

[Saber is readily to summon his Invisible Air, upon hearing Hakuno's statement. At first, he is suspecting her being manipulated by that nasty servant. But then again she makes certain sense.]

"Never I would take unecessary fight. But I have no choice when the servant you defend points his weapon at us, do I?"
