lurking enemies

I sat on the bed looking at Lancer with a little embarrassment for the scene that just happened

"I see, so my body is overloaded with mana? Makes sense! Sorry for causing you trouble Lancer" I apologized lowering my head

"Don't apologize, you didn't mean to" Lancer replied calmly and then looked at me seriously. "Why did you do that, I mean, use magic if you knew you didn't have the physical condition to do a spell?"

I chuckled at Lancer's words and closed my eyes and concentrated my mana on my hand. I felt Old forming in my magic circuits and becoming mana

"Trace On" I whispered

"Master what you?" lancer yelled

She appraised herself by paying my shoulder and looking at me with concern. I could understand she got scared that I tried doing this same spell a few hours ago and my body almost died from mana overload.

"Don't worry Lancer" I comforted her "Look, this time it worked"

I raised my hand to show Lancer a black mist forming around my hand. For a minute I was surprised that the fog on my hand was black, but I ignored it.

The fog took the form of an all-red .45 calibre revolver, the gun was customized to have a more powerful shot than normal revolvers of its calibre. it was a relatively old revolver that I had a vague memory of from my childhood.

That was my Grandmother's weapon of choice… She was the first female police officer in my town and she loved collecting guns, a passion that passed from her father to her. she tried to show my mom the beauties of guns, but my mom was a radical disarmament.

"Master is it?" Lancer took me out of my thoughts

I looked at her sighing and flashed a smug smile. Rotating the revolver on my finger. I prepared to brag about my creation when the revolver slipped and accidentally pulled the trigger

bang

The sound of the gunshot echoed through the room, and all I saw was Lancer with his head tilted back and the lamp that lit the room partly broken.

He didn't take the part that has the light only on the glass, so the light didn't go out

Lancer lowered his head, stroking his forehead, which had a small scratch on it that soon healed. In his eyes was a cruel glint of anger.

She smiled licking her lips and leaned in front of me, bringing her knee up to the nurse and coming face to face with me.

"Master, did you try to kill me?" Lancer asked narrowing his eyes dangerously, "I thought we were fine with each other Tch, it's a shame it looks like I'm going to have to find another master! I liked you."

"No, No" I shook my head and hands "Just accidentally shot! It was an accident"

Seeing the revolver swing from side to side in my hand and the fear of firing another shot, I put the revolver on the bed and tried to explain myself once more.

Laughter

"of course you didn't" Lancer chuckled taking the revolver and sighed "This thing can't harm a servant"

She pointed the revolver at me making my eyes widen

"lancer what you… Lancer stop it no fun!" I yelled angrily, but I saw in Lancer's eyes that she wasn't kidding.

She had a cruel smile filled with resentment and her finger tightened on the trigger. No, it's not possible. she has a seal of command that keeps her from hurting me. She is kidding!

Damn! she wasn't kidding

bang bang bang

The sound of three gunshots resounded in the room and I cringed in fear, closing my eyes and curling myself into a ball waiting for death.

The pain did not come. the pain did not come?

I opened my eyes in confusion and saw Lancer grinning at me with a wry smile and with a sigh I looked back only to see three fist-sized holes in the wall.

Each at a favourable distance from the other, none of them were close enough to me. This means she was kidding

"Hoo, it's gone" Lancer hummed shaking his now empty hand and looked at me with a smile wagging his finger "don't do that again master"

"I nearly died from my heart! What the hell do you think you're doing?" I screamed in rage letting my emotions take over me and. I raised my hand with everything stopping in the middle of the act to hold my hand and squirm letting out a sob of suffering "Do you think that was funny MEDUSA? It wasn't! If you did! do that again I'll use a command seal to punish you"

Angry tears streamed down my face and I raised my wrist angrily making the command seals on my hand glow. My heart was pounding a million and my vision was almost completely blurred with anger.

"Sorry" Lancer apologized. I could see real regret in her voice.

All right, let's not get carried away any more than we already are.

breathe 1 2 3

"Alright, just don't do it anymore" I sighed calming myself

"Alright" Lancer replied "I won't do that anymore"

"Good!" I replied putting my hand on her shoulder and standing up "Let's win this war"

"Yes"

===

Alecs and Lancer walked down the city street calmly. they didn't show anything unusual between them. Apart from the fact that the two are from two different western ethnicities in a city absurdly dominated by an eastern ethnicity

People constantly looked at them around every corner they passed. Fuyuki city was not the most developed. Of course, there were buildings and some other more developed buildings.

But other than that it still looked like an Edo-era town. Alecs glanced at the town's shops and received mixed looks from the vendors.

some were flashy and curious looks at the strangeness of their bodies. others were suspicious to see if they were friends or enemies.

Alecs didn't look like an Anglo-Saxon and gave a slight sense of relief to people. Since the countries, they were at war with were dominated by this ethnicity

Alecs realized that most of the people watching them were spies. He then looked at Lancer who was also looking around with suspicion and discomfort.

She was getting a lot of lewd looks from all over and others were jealous looks. she realized that most people didn't want her there and the other part wanted her body in a bed

Alecs noticing Lancer's discomfort took her hand crossing his fingers with hers he had already completely forgotten about what happened earlier.

Holding anger at Lancer wasn't something Alecs could do as she was in the same shitty situation as him. hers could be considered a little worse since Alecs has not had her body touched by the Einzbern…

*disgusted*

He felt a shiver on the back of his neck just thinking about it and sighed.

Lancer was startled to feel the touch of his hand. But when she looked at Alec's hand in hers, Lancer relaxed, releasing the tension in his shoulders.

She made a slight smile squeezing Alec's hand also feeling very comfortable with a slight warmth in her chest a warmth she hadn't felt in a long time.

The heat she only felt when she was with her sisters was the same as her…

To kill

Lance couldn't finish his thought when he felt a strong shiver on the back of his neck. Her body shuddered and she felt the blood leak from her neck making her kneel on the floor

Cough

She started vomiting blood and her vision started to get blurry. No, that couldn't be happening. was she attacked?

This is bad. she needed to warn the master so that he would provide her mana to save her. She turned her head to the side and her breath caught when she saw Alec's head drop to the ground.

His body fell to the other side, spurting blood. Her blood ran cold, a sob caught in her slashed throat and fear and despair gripped her soul. She tried to crawl towards Alecs to save him to catch him

Stab

Lancer cried out in pain as he felt something burn in her chest. She felt her hair being pulled up and her body responded by standing up despite her legs refusing to move.

She had no strength in her legs, arms or any other part of her body. Everything she could make her move her body slightly

Move. Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha Mecha

In desperation, her body and her limbs moved and she managed to catch her attacker's arm. her leg swivelled to get out of the dominant position she was in and her body spun trying to twist her assailant's arm.

Stab

She felt something go through her chest again

Cough

This time. her body lost all strength and the hand that held her hair released her making Lancer fall to the ground. All she could do during her fall was look into her attacker's face.

He was a stout man with a masked skull that looked at her from inside the mask. with a tired look the wise one like an old monk who lived a long time and acquired all the wisdom in the world

Lancer's back hit the ground and once again she was stabbed by a large sword pinning her to the ground. It was at that moment that her vision went out.

All she could do before she died was look at her master's fallen body on the ground and try to reach for his decapitated head.

She managed to touch his hair and tears will fall from her eyes.

Sorry master, I couldn't protect you, as I couldn't protect my sisters. I am a failure!

==

"Lancer?" Alec's voice caught Lancer's attention causing her eyes to widen

Sigh

She took a deep, twisting breath and felt Alecs' comforting hands touching her shoulder preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Lancer? what happened?" Alecs asked worried seeing her servant trembling and her pale body

"Master? Are you alive?" lancer whispered weakly full of disbelief

"Of course I am! What are you talking about?"

"You idiot! Thanks to the gods" Lancer cried hugging Alecs "You're alive, you're alive"

"Yes, I'm alive" Alecs replied not understanding the situation he hugged her back and patted her head"I'm alive, it's OK, don't worry"

"Humm!"
