[] Lie through your teeth.
"A miracle," you replied as you met her gaze, "To witness a miracle, that's why I've been hiding them."
Miyu stared at you from the side.
"There's someone I want to meet but i could only do so using the power of the Grails. So I wish to study them as any Magus would," you said as you met the Edelfelt's gaze, "You know what I'm talking about, Miss heiress."
"I never took you to be that sort of man," Luvia said with a narrowed look.
"The Grails are important to my research. I have no wish to ask it save for extracting it's functions for my purposes. And especially since using the Grail as it is will kill Miyu, I won't be doing that of course," you said with an equally steely look.
You didn't need to research the Grails. You already have an end purpose to them. That was to create a Holy Grail War that would truly grant you the blueprints of your sister's soul.
It was another War to be fought, certainly something the Edelfelt and Matou would want to stop.
"Interesting. Even when you could just skip your research altogether with the Child of God's power? Their Wishcraft capabilities rival that of the Fuyuki Grail," Luvia challenged you.
"Like I said, I won't harm Miyu. I simply want her capabilities. That's what I want, not her life," you argued with a shake of your head.
Luvia judged you before closing her eyes, "I see. You would fight Seven Wars for your Wish?"
"I would seven more if that's what it'll take. I have nothing malicious planned for the Grail so can we end this farce?" You scoffed as you squeezed the arm of your chair.
Luvia smirked and leaned forward, "Eager, aren't we? But then I would take this as you willing to join hands with us?"
"Your purpose is to make sure the grail doesn't fall to the wrong hands. I agree with that sentiment and I'll help you win... So long as I get to take it in the end. You monitors have no wishes after all," you figured as you leaned back on your seat.
"That would depend on the Grail's decision... Isn't it, Miss Sakatsuki?" Luvia said as she crossed her arms.
"You shouldn't count your eggs before they hatch, Hans," Miyu warned you as she met your gaze.
You smiled at her and nodded, "Apologies."
"In any case, we cannot leave her unattended for tonight. Do we have your aid for tonight's defense?" Luvia asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Assassin will help you. But I can't come in account of my injuries," you said as you looked down your arm, "You'll have to keep her safe. Because if you don't..."
"Sakura won't let you down. You've fought well these past two weeks, Mr. Derrinsmith. Leave this battle to us," Luvia assured you with a nod.
"Right," you said as you got up, "Guess I should return to my room then."
"Um!" A voice cut between through the room.
You turned your gaze upon the girl beside Miyu. The older girl winced and clung to the younger one in fear as she met your gaze.
"I-I'm... I'm sorry," Kirishima Ayumi said as she lowered her head. She looked up and withered almost immediately underneath your gaze.
You held the spot where Beowulf hit you with a spear because of her. It ached slightly...
You Didn't Forget
[] You gave her the most pleasantly bone chilling smile you could muster and said, "It's fine."
[] "Apology not accepted, girl."
[] You're not equipped for this. Just ignore her and head back to your room.
[] "Good to have you back. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better," you said with a nod. You should just take it as water under the bridge.
