An empty room, a hollow prayer and by, the sound of it, he didn't even chose his own Servant. Shirou here is certainly living up to his epithet.

    ...Well, I expected this with Caren, but I expected at least one vote for the other.

    Anyways, Vote's Closed, expect something for tommorow.

    [...]​

    "--I have more information about the disappearances reported in Shinto," I tell her the information, "Apparently, the victims usually go out in the middle of the night, seemingly without reason, and then--"

    "And then they disappear without a trace." her tone is completely even, one could almost think that she is talking about the climate, but...

    "You are displeased with this situation," I say as a matter of fact.

    "I believe that it would make my job easier if some Masters could attempt to keep their squabbles to themselves without needing me to step in to advert any disaster that may happen."

    "Hn." I grunt, this is possibly the most I will get from this theme.

    I take a spoon filled with the dangerous food into my mouth--

    Its painfully hot flavour is just as I remember it to be.

    In front of me, I can see Caren smiling sightly at my reddening face, which is starting to sweat due to the heat.

    ...It won't be enough to get any kind of reaction out of me, though.

    The spiciness of the food in my mouth leaves space to a touch of sweetness that makes me delight at the sensation...

    I may forever curse Father for doing this to me, but I cannot deny that it is a great dish.

    Noticing my lack of reaction, she sighs and continues speaking. "--Anyways, the Servant Saber has been summoned at around 2 AM in the morning, so that leaves just Caster and Assassin to be summoned."

    'Saber, huh...' I think about it for a few moments; Archer was the first Servant summoned three months ago, probably for the Einzberns.

    Lancer was summoned at least two weeks ago, Rider and Berserker were summoned last week almost on the same day.

    "We will summon your Servant tonight." she says in a tone that leaves no room for debate.

    The Church assigned her here after the death of Kotomine Kirei, my Father, five years ago.

    She originally came with a few instructors from her side of the family due to her age, but she was deemed ready to continue her operations alone a year ago.

    After the disaster that was the 4th Holy Grail War, in which the Church attempted to tip the odds in favor of a Magi with close ties to them, Tohsaka Tokiomi, the Church was seemingly willing to abandon their plan with the Grail, only making sure that the one who would be able to get it wouldn't be dangerous to the world...

    Until the command Seals appeared on my hand at least a month ago.

    "--I understand." I will have to wait to see what kind of catalyst the Caren has managed to get for me.

    Father left a safe refuge in case of something like this happened, he said that it could be used as a base in a Holy Grail War.

    She looks at me for a few moments after my response, and shakes her head in an annoyed manner.

    We continue eating our breakfast, before I say goodbye to her and start heading towards school...

    "...Why do you want to take part in a Holy Grail War?" I remember her question; She acted calm, and yet...

    "--I never participated in one before, it is only natural that I am curious about it." That was my answer.     ...True.

    "...You know that you could die, right?" I remember her face at that moment; She didn't like it.

    "--It is a possible ending, but I am not interested in dying." That was my answer.     ...True.

    "...Do you have any wish for the Grail?" I remember her tone; She was worried, even if she didn't say it.

    "--I don't think I have any wish for it, as far as I know." That was my answer.     ...Liar.

    After that, she made her way out of my room, with her usual elegance...

    Yet she didn't seem happy with the results.

    The day is a sunny one.

    The birds are singing, the trees and flowers are waiting for their chance to bloom, and the students are chatting on their way to school.

    It seems like a perfect, peaceful day--

    So then, why...?

    A tiny crowd of students has formed close to the school gates, it should end soon considering the time, and I can easily circumvent said crowd with ease to reach the school, but in the middle of that crowd...

    Lies a really familiar face with her golden, blonde hair shining under the rays of the morning sun.

    "--------------------------" My throat is dry right now.

    I should...

    [] Bite the bullet, face Fate with dignity. (???)

    [] Nyet. Nope, Nada. (???, A girl is watching from the sidelines...)

    [...]​

    ----Regardless.

    After whatever scandal happened in front of the school, the classes continue without fail.

    "--And that should be everything for this part, now go and eat!" says a certain Tiger in the background.

    I start unpacking my lunch, before I hear someone calling me from behind.

    "Excuse me, Kotomine, do you have a moment?" As I turn around, I see a friendly face behind me.

    "Issei? Did something happen, or do you need help with the student council again?" I turn around talking to Issei, who seems a little bit more tired than usual.

    "No, no, it's just that another group of heaters broke yesterday... Ugh, I think that we may need to replace them." He sighs tiredly, he always takes his responsibilities too seriously, I think.

    "--Anyways, Kuzuki-sensei is calling for you on the rooftop, he didn't say what he wanted, but he say that it can wait if you can't afford the time."

    "I see..." I will probably miss the plunch period, considering how things with him usually go...

    [] "...I'll go to see him right now, I guess." (???)
    [] "I was hoping that we could talk after classes..." (???, Two students are talking in the corridor...)
    [...]​
    So, not much to say, some flashbacks, some info...

    Nothing really crucial... Maybe, kinda, surely?

    This seems funny.
    [X] "...I'll go to see him right now, I guess." (???)
    And this seems important.

    [X] "...I'll go to see him right now, I guess." (???)

    I wonder if we, Kotomine Shirou, Master of Assassin, will ally with Toskaka Rin, Master of Archer ... That would be an impressive level of irony.

    Starting the war by turning away from what's flagged as an important character strikes me as a bad precedent, so best to get a taste of that fate bullet. Less sure about the Kuzuki option, but if there's no time pressure, we might as well go for the option that gives us a two for one.

    I think at that point it would turn into a family tradition. Although, for Rin's sake, I'd hope it works out better than it did the first time around.

    I'm kinda happy that there was a difference in the votes this time around, to be honest.
