[] Speed Dial Luvia now. Emiya was gonna do something dumb again. Better tattle now than later!
You stared at him before setting down the glass of water you had on hand. Emiya blinked before he saw you take out your phone. He realized too late what was happening before Medb grabbed him behind his back as you held up your phone to him as you showed Luvia's number.
His eyes widened and you've never seen a grown man so scared as he slowly shook his head, "Don't. Brie, please don't."
"Hail Hydra," you replied as you hit the speed dial.
There wasn't even a ring before it was picked up by a familiar haughty voice.
"Yes? This is Edelfelt."
"I have Emiya. He's planning on doing something dumb again," you quickly reported as Emiya's eyes widened.
"It's not what you think, Luvia-san. I was just helping someone!" Emiya said as he struggled to break free from Medb's hold.
"He could be in danger of attracting Caster's attention but he doesn't care. He already got caught and barely escaped but he's gonna try it again," you continued while the redhead shook his head.
"I have a plan! Please don't do anything hasty!" Emiya said before Medb yawned as two Celtic Warriors appeared by her side and grabbed the man by his shoulders.
".... I see. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Brie. It seems that I can trust you better now. An admirable job. Ah, but Shero?"
Emiya winced at the tone Luvia's voice took.
"Consider your funding for your next mission halved. Also this will reach Tohsaka and Pendragon. Expect a call later."
Emiya looked like someone just cut off his strings and fell limp. Poor guy.
"We had our agreement that I will indulge your heroics but not at the cost of your own life. Tohsaka is already insufferable and I'd hate to make it worse. Not only that but be more responsible! You're going to be Father after all. You have things to leave behind if you die."
Emiya tried to say something but found that the words died in his throat before they could escape. He simply kept his silence before the Warriors let him go. He let out a sigh and nodded as if someone has splashed water in his face.
If it was the only way to make him stay put then you'll do it. You took no pleasure from this before you turned off the speaker and placed your phone on your ear.
"This is Brie. Target has been calmed down," you said as the Warriors dragged Emiya to the sofa where he could think, "Still you don't hold back, do you?"
"Give me a report of what happened."
It wasn't a request but an order. You sighed before you explained what you knew. From the abandoned resort, to the wolves and the castle you saw hidden beneath layers of bounded fields. You reported how Saber was still missing and Emiya had brought with him a girl he saved from Caster's castle.
That caused something to shatter on the other end of the line.
"That fool! No wonder he's in danger of Caster's wrath. Stupid, stupid man!"
"It's fine. I'll keep watch over him until Saber gets here. I'm just trying to keep Rider from seducing him in his moment of weakness," you replied as you glanced at your Servant eyeing the older gentleman like a cat would a mouse.
You should have gotten some pocket cheese.
"Make sure she doesn't. Now, the girl. What can you tell me about her?"
"Civilian named Akuta Hinako. She was part of a hiking trip up the mountain but her group was attacked presumably by Caster's minions. She's the only survivor by virtue of being taken alive and locked up in the castle. She's unhurt but she's weak," you briefly explained as you stared at the glass of water on the table before you.
"And what are your insights?"
"Caster wanted her for something most likely. Whatever it was she was being kept alive for it... But..." You said as you looked down at your left hand.
"What is it?"
"Can't place where I saw her before. I don't know, I'm not exactly doing well either. I had to run from zombies on steroids," you growled before composing yourself.
".... Hand the phone to Shirou. I need to talk to him. Keep an eye on the civilian for now."
You grunted in affirmation before walking to the dazed man and handed him the phone. He took it and spoke into it.
"Yes? Hello?" He managed to start.
Rider waved at you then as you took the glass and walked back into the bedroom. The girl was still there waiting, perking up upon seeing you. She was studying your with a calculating look while you walked towards her with the glass in hand.
"Here, I brought you something to drink," you said as you handed it to her.
"Thank you," Hinako replied as she accepted the glass and took a sip.
"You must have had it pretty bad back in that place. You look like you're really thirsty," you said with a sad look, "Can you tell me what happened there?"
Hinako was quiet for a moment before she replied, "I was only questioned by this woman with black and white hair. A madwoman. She simply said that I was a good specimen for her works and hoped to create what she was destined to do. They took my blood and kept me imprisoned in a cell or chained to a wall. I had... Started to lose hope until I was saved unexpectedly."
Create? What the hell was Caster doing in that place? Blood of a girl like Hinako and the corpses of a hundred people? What made this girl so special in particular?
"You'll be all right now but as of the moment you can't leave our sights yet. That madwoman you mentioned, she may just come back for you," you said as you glanced at the girl, "We'll make sure she doesn't before we let you go back to your home."
"I... I would appreciate that," Hinako replied as she politely bowed her head.
"It's not safe here anymore... Guess I'll have to move again," you sighed as you stepped back.
Hinako reached out and grabbed your left hand. You tensed in surprise before she asked you a question, "Tell me. What's going on? Why is this happening? Who is that woman and were my companions killed?"
You flinched at her questions before you felt your command seals sting for a moment. Or... Did it? You're not sure either way but the girl seemed to be starting to panic.
"I can't really explain it but you're safe now and that's all that matters. Knowing more could be dangerous for you. I know it's too much to ask right now but please trust us," you asked her as you squeezed her hand reassuringly.
"I see..." Hinako murmured as she lowered her head, "Okay I'll trust you for now... You seem like a person that could be trusted."
You blinked at that before managing a small smile, "Thanks. Just rest up for now. We'll be changing locations soon."
You turned away and walked to the door. Once you were out, you saw Emiya seated on the sofa with a contemplative look while Medb was helping herself to some ice cream. Emiya glanced at you and held out your phone.
"How was the call?" You asked him with a raised eyebrow.
"Could be better... You really put me on the spot," Emiya chuckled as he had a weak smile.
"No regrets. Better than having your blood in my hands. Still, isn't Saber taking too long? He might be lost," you frowned as you looked at the front door.
"You're right. He hasn't been in contact with me," Emiya said with a concerned tone.
"We could go look for him," Medb suggested from the side as she scooped a spoonful of ice cream.
"I'll go. You two stay here in case Caster comes," Emiya said as he got up.
"You're the one she wants dead, dummy," you said as you crossed your arms.
[] You'll go out to find Saber. It's much safer for everyone that way even if you just want to stay at home. You have lower chances of being jumped.
