Fate/White Parmesan

[] Meet up with Emiya and tell him of the plan.

Making an effort to this gathering of allies of yours would be a better use of your time. After all, there were a lot of unknowns when it came to Archer's faction. They've mostly sticked to harassing Ruler and keeping out of the way of other battles. The Cult was more focused on creating chaos rather than fighting through the war themselves.

Texting Emiya, you messaged him if you could meet sometime today. A reply came quick, making you raise your eyebrow in surprise. He said that he can meet you this afternoon at the coffee shop in front of his safehouse. He mention that you already knew the way.

Well you did and you had some time to kill. It'll be just you wandering the city until you get there later. It was still a little early after all.

"We're being observed," Medb yawned as she tightened her grip on your hand.

"Wait, we are?" You blinked in surprise.

"Don't show signs that you noticed. Damn, if we had a Druid we could disrupt their vision," Medb said as she looked ahead.

"Well we're in daytime. The unspoken rule of the war was that combat should only happen at night," you pointed out to her as you stopped by a store to browse at the items for sale, "We'll be safe for now."

"If they want to peep then they could at least be direct about it," Rider fumed with an unhappy tone.

"That's what you're mad about?" You asked with an incredulous tone.

"Hehe. I just know the place they won't follow us in," Rider snickered as she pulled you along. You were curious as to where she was dragging you before you noticed she was making a beeline for the Adult Shop.

You hit the brakes on your feet and resisted, "No. No! Goddammit, no! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

.....
....
...

Fortunately the observers didn't follow you then. It was also fortunate that Rider didn't buy anything and that's only because you would have died first before she wrenched the wallet you both shared from your cold dead hands. While she promised that it was only for her thralls' use you didn't trust her, you wouldn't trust her with shit.

You liked her yes, she was pretty and you were her retainer but that's a no. You're okay for cuddling but she'd have to play a complicated Mind Game before you let her reign free in this relationship. Maybe this was why Scathach warned you during that time if only to prepare for this madness.

You owed that lady a lot now.

"Come on, I'm sure you would have liked the one I picked for you. It's made in Germany too!" Medb said as she pouted while sipping her latte.

You raised your head and gave her the stare of a dead woman walking.

"Honestly for all your bluster, you're just as adorable as Ruler," Rider huffed as she set down her cup, "It was just 9 inches on both si-"

"Keep talking and I will stab you with this fork," you cut her off as you held the fork in a rather menacing grip, "Also you're banned from going to clubs until we deal with Archer."

"What?!" Medb cried out in surprise, her eyes widening in alarm.

"I need to wash my eyes..." You groaned as you covered them with your hands.

"Oh you're no fun at all, aren't you?" Rider huffed as she crossed her legs.

"I... I don't think I'm ready for that stuff yet. I want to get to know you better and maybe spend time with you like this before we... Take higher," you admitted as you rubbed your thumbs together.

Rider stared at you for a second before an evil smile curled upon her lips, "Oh... Oooh. Oh this is gonna be good."

"Oh I hate your fucking guts sometimes," you hissed as you flushed red.

"You're just so adorable when you're not resisting. I just want to spoil you rotten," Medb purred as she leaned on her palm.

The cafe door opened and a man walked in. You recognized him by his tall stature and red hair, his suit crisp and clean and his aura. Emiya turned to see you and Rider sitting on the booth before you got up to meet him.

"Sorry. I was just managing my plans... I also have some stuff you might want to see," Emiya said as he shook your hand.

You sat by Rider's side as Emiya took his place on your opposite side. He brought his briefcase up before you nudged Rider to move a bit.

"Making plans already?" You asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. I looked into Hans Derrinsmith and Luvia's connections helped. I have some information on him if you want to see that first," Emiya said as he looked through some documents.

"We're interested," you nodded.

"Well he's from born in Britain. London to be exact, the place where the Clocktower is located. Of course, this is because he's a part of two known families within the organization, which is to say the Derrinsmith and the Luctworth," Emiya reported as he read through the list of things you were already aware.

"That's the first thing I found out about him... He also had a sister. A girl that has my face and appearance," you pointed out as you leaned back.

"Yes. Celine... She must have been used as your base for your appearance. Most likely the Luctworth's work. I have my suspicions that they're the last Master we haven't seen yet," Emiya said as he glanced at the documents, "Anyway, at 25 he popped up here, running as council member... Afterwards he's balanced a life of dealing with mage affairs and his political career for two years."

"Were there any information about conflicts with his family?" You asked with a raised eyebrow.

"There is. A year ago at age 27, he was accused of stealing confidential materials from the Luctworth workshop. However when brought to trial, they couldn't find anything on him and was left off. No doubt the old family was left angered by that," Emiya said as he set down the piece of paper.

"I see. Then I could see why those people would create a Killer Doll like me to assassinate him. And what better event to do that than this Holy Grail War," you murmured as you crossed your arms.

"Indeed. Plus there's the fact that there's three Heroes from Irish myths here. He probably stole Lancer's catalyst as well," Medb said as she drank her coffee.

"I take it that your meeting with him didn't end well?" Emiya said with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh it went well enough. He'll fix me... And given his background, I wouldn't be surprised that he could. He has a plan to take out Berseker but it involves not being associated with him for now, otherwise Berserker will rampage," You answered as you thought back to the other day.

"I see. Don't trust him too much. He's a Magus through and through and I've seen enough of them that I can get how they think. So did he ask anything of you?" Emiya asked you with a look of concern.

"Take out Archer to throw off the Luctworth from our alliance... After that, we'll give support while he and Lancer duel Berserker. It'll hopefully end in one day," you said with a grim tone.

Emiya's eyes widened before he rubbed his chin and looked to the side, "I see... When is it happening? I'll need to prepare."

"Can you help us at least deal with Archer? The Church has already agreed on taking him down and Ruler's coming too. It would be to our advantage if we worked together," you said with a nod.

Emiya cracked a smile and said, "Well... If you put it that way, sure. I'll be happy to fight alongside you. Saber would too."

"That's a relief to be honest," you sighed as you held your chest, "I'll be counting on you."

The man before you nodded before placing his documents in his briefcase, "One more thing, Brie."

"What is it?" You wondered as you noticed his thoughtful look.

"Have you ever seen a girl with white hair wandering the city at night?" Emiya asked with an uncertain tone.

You stared at him before you and Rider glanced at one another. Only one other girl you've met had that description...

"Yes. That's Assassin's Master," you replied with a frown, "Wait... Don't tell me she's still alive. Rider and I blew her up!"

"Did she expend all her command seals during the fight?" Emiya asked with a worried tone.

[] Yes.
[] No.
[] You're not sure.
[] You killed her. She was blown apart by Rider's Noble Phantasm. Her surviving that would be a miracle!
[] Write in...
