Chapter 3: Fuyuki City! Meeting The White-Haired Loli: Illya!
' So this the Fuyuki City, the Great Holy Grail informed about. What an odd City. I can only smell the taste of despair here, it kind of reminds me of a high-level Demon scent.' Arthur thought while in Astral Form, jumping from building to building.
From his knowledge from the Great Holy Grail, Fuyuki City (aka)-(Winter Tree), is separated into two sections by the river Mion that can be considered two towns, Shinto and Miyama City, which are the new and old sections of the city respectively. While not based directly on a real city, many of the locations are based on those located in Kobe. The distance between Fuyuki City and Misaki Town is equivalent to the distance of Kantō and Kyushu, while Fuyuki City, itself is actually located on the island of Kyushu, somewhere in the Kumamoto Prefecture or the Ōita Prefecture.
Miyama Town, where Arthur is, is the suburban area of Fuyuki that contains old houses and traditional buildings. It can be split into two main parts, the traditional Japanese houses district, and the foreigners' houses district. The road to Homurahara Academy, where his Master studies, is set between the two districts.
Furthermore, the intersection road connects to the shopping street, the school, the northern and southern parts of town, and the bridge.
The Matou and Tohsaka residences are located in the foreigners' district, while one of his Master's friends lives in the traditional district. There is a shopping district somewhere in Miyama, apparently a good way from Rin's mansion, where she probably does her shopping, from Arthur's examination.

Looking around and not find anything out of normal, Arthur was about to jump. However, he stopped seeing a young girl around 13-15 with pale skin, crimson eyes, and long white hair. She seems to be at a kid park on the swings, swings back and forth with a sad expression, all by herself. She wears a collared, purple long-sleeved shirt with a light purple scarf to match, a long white skirt, and purple boots.
Watching her, Arthur's eyes flashed,' My Loli senses are tingling. Must protect at all cost!'
Devoid of hesitation, Arthur disappeared and reappeared in front of the white-haired loli.
" Hmm? A Servant?" Feeling someone by her, she looked up seeing an attractive handsome yet beautiful young man with short golden hair and deep ocean blue eyes. He wears elegant bluish and silvery-white armor with a cape. At his left hip rests a frost light blue almost-white long sword. Furthermore, from her look over at him, she noted his facial features are prettier than most girls, she has seen so far in her life.
" What can I help you with, Servant?" The White-haired young girl asked casually with a small smile, looking into his rich blue eyes.
" Nothing much, just bored out of my mind," Arthur said with a smile, sitting on the swing next to her, as he went on to continue saying," And what better way, to spend the night, with such a beautiful young lady such as yourself?"
Hearing Arthur, the white-haired loli expression twitched in surprise a little at that. " Young lady?" she repeated, pouting a little at that. " How old do you think I am?"
" Going off of your appearance, anyone would assume you to be no older than thirteen. But, knowing who you are, I say around nineteen or twenty." Arthur exampled with a gentle smile, swinging back and forth slowly, without actually doing anything.
" Mmmm, I guess that makes sense," The loli conceded, before smirking," But you got it on the first try."
" Nineteen?" Arthur asked as his eyes flashed once more oddly.
" Yup~ I'm that not much of a little girl," She nodded, saying in a sing-song manner, and pressed, with her expression changing from amused to serious, not even questioning Arthur about the first off of his sentence.
' She must be confident in her servant and herself to survive me if I attack her.' Arthur thought with a smile, as he said right after," Huh, what a special little lady you are,"
Chuckling, she hummed at that, evidently pleased," You're quite the gentleman, even if you don't look it," she observed. " You're weird," Then her eyes narrowed a touch," Not like a Saber. Or a Servant. It's as if you don't want the Grail at all. I wonder why's that?"
" Hmm? Trying to figure me out, are you?" Arthur asked with a teasing voice, looking at the legal Loli.
" Yes, I would look like to know if I have to kill you or not. In my personal opinion, I would hate to kill you, because I found you a pleasure to be around. However, my personal opinions don't matter, do they now?" She explained in an emotionless doll-like voice. The way the girl switched from childish to cold so easily was a bit unnerving, to Arthur. It kind of reminds him of some of his younger days, going around saving and destroying Worlds for Alaya.
" Hmm, Grail or no Grail, doesn't matter to me all that much. What truly matters is, if there is anyone worthy of me here to battle." Arthur said in a cryptic tone, housing many different meanings.
" Huh, So all that matters is a promising battle for you. So you're a battle junkie of sorts?" The legal Loli questioned with a slightly amused smile.
" Hahaha, if one sees it that way, then yes." Arthur laughed at this, also with an amused smile.
" Well, Saber it's been a pleasant time with you around, but it seems I will have to take my leave for now." She said hopping off the swing by Arthur.
" Hmm~ I wish you good hunting..."
" Illya." The now Identified [Illya] said with a tiny chuckle.
" Illya, I wish you good hunting," Arthur said with a slight smile.
" Hehehe~ Bye-Bye Saber~!" Saying this, Illya started walking off, humming a happy tune while skipping now and then.
Only after seeing Illya leave the park did, Arthur smile that was nothing sorts of pure," Bye, for now, Master Of True Berserker: Illyasviel von Einzbern."
*Whoosh!*
