Planning and Relaxation

"so I already sign the agreement, how will we move?"

"we will both wait until the Red and Black Faction fight with each other, in that moment where they are weaken we will take the grail."

"so what will we do now?"

"well we need to relax now, since we will be busy and won't have a chance after we start."

"well I agree, but Modred here is very annoyed looking at your servant."

saying that I look towards Modred and can only smile wryly,

"Modred how about this, I let you fight with Gramps but you must not use your noble phantasm."

"agree as a future king I don't want to hurt the common people."

"well as expected of Arthur child, well don't worry I will ask Gramps to teach you the way of a leader, since he is experienced in that subject to."

hearing my suggestion she gave me a nod of agreement. "Gramps please spar with Modred to let her release some of her steam."

he then stood up and said. "follow me young Knight, our battlefield is on the empty field outside of this city."

they both got up and leave to fight outside far away from the city.

"Alex since Modred is away can you explain in detail what is the objective of Amakusa Tokisada Shirou."

"he want to bring salvation to human being by erasing the sins from the whole world."

"how come you know that?" Kairi asked

"he explain it to me, and invite me to join his side, but of course I rejected that."

"so we will be rescuing the world."

"nope I won't say I am a Hero after all, our objective are not that noble and stopping Shirou wish is just a by product, in a certain sense we may be called a villain that stop the person who tried to bring salvation."

"owh a realist as ever huh, ok then I will borrow one of your room and enjoy a rest moment as well preparing for the fight."

"okay, please do so."

Kairi then enter the room in the second floor.

"Homunculus, how about you pick a name?, how about Sieg since the Hero Siegfried gave you his heart, you should atleast inherit half of his name."

"Sieg, I agree, what should I learn now?"

I then pulled a book and gave it to him and start to explain. "here is a note on how to control a mana reactor, second take the money, and explore the town with Rider, and Rider since Sieg is your master you need to let to help him experience every thing, from food, culture, and people of this town."

"ehh, are you sure, shouldn't he learn books and stuff?"

"he is smart, what he lacks is just simple common sense and ambition."

"wow, Alex you look like a teacher."

"well, I help the Kids in the Orphanage learn, so I have experience in teaching and as an Assassin if I need to infiltrate a university, pretending to be a professor is a basic requirement."

"ok then, thank you Alex for giving allowance for us to play." with that Rider took Sieg and drag him around the town probably, well I will send Gramps to watch over them after he finish with Modred, so Astolfo won't go too far.

while I was thinking Jeanne smiled towards me and said. "Alex is really kind isn't he?"

"well seeing Sieg is like seeing the young version of myself, like I said he and I are similar." I then took Jeanne hand and put it towards my heart, seeing my action she started blushing, continue to talk. "Jeanne focus on feeling my heart." hearing my words she blushed even more but still followed my words.

she then focus and was suddenly shocked. "your heart is a mana reactor, how is it possible?, if the magus association know about this they will dissect you."

"that's why I say Sieg and I are similar, if my adoptive mother was someone who is greedy she will tell the holy church and the church will make me into a trained soldiers for them and because of that I am grateful."

"how did you hide it?"

"it was an item that came with me, it help mask my mana reactor and disguise it into a high quality mana circuit."

"I would love to meet your Mother."

"well, then you need to prepare, since she will barrage you with question on how we met and how my condition?" seeing her being so easy to tease make me want to tease her even more.

"Alex you-." before she finished I took her hand and dragging her outside to have fun. "Jeanne let's go outside, since you came to this era, lets go have fun unfortunately we are in Romania, if we are in other country I will take you around to enjoy modern food, so let's go out and do groceries and I will cook modern food for dinner."

I took her on a trip scouring around for Ingredients, I visit every vendor, the vendor around notice me and started to offer their product, I then appraise their product making them shocked and preplaxed , this result made many housewife and grandma to buy those I approve without caring the price.

seeing this those vendor offer me their product for free, Jeanne looking towards me seeing that I was overwhelmed she smiled since this is the first time I shown this kind of expression with her.

"Alex, so you can show that kind of expression." she then teased me, but suddenly an old grandma come and said. "young girl is this your boyfriend?" hearing that Jeanne become confused and shy.

"girl you need to be careful, a young man who knows his way around a kitchen is very rare, and when you looked at him, you can tell he is very capable, so hold on to him tight, because there's so many girls who is eyeing him."

hearing this I smiled at her and this make her blush.

seeing our action the Grandma smiled then said goodbye to us.

"ok Jeanne let's go to a one of the house and ask where we can buy Milk."

hearing this she followed me while lowering her head to hide her face from me.

after stopping at a farm house, we knocked on the door and the owner answered, he asked what he can help, I asked if there's any place to buy dairy product around here, he said we were lucky because he sold product such as milk and cheese.

I then bought everything that I need a from him, seeing that we finished the shopping, I decided to ask him if I could use the hay pile as a place to rest for a while, he then smiled and said ok to it.

"Jeanne let's rest for a bit, I already asked the owner he said we can use the hay over there as a place to rest for a while."

"eh really?"

"yeah, come on." I then took the paper bag full of shopping goods and put it near the place we will rest.

I then sit slowly, while Jeanne suddenly rolled around and lay in the hay pile, seeing this I say. "now I finally believe that Jeanne is a Village Girl and not a Saintess."

"hmph I didn't lie you know."

"well if they don't know you, they will think Jeanne is a born Saintess, after all Jeanne always show a Heroic side every time, that's why Jeanne need to relax and show her girly side like just now." with that I let my back fall into the pile of hay and closed my eyes.

"Jeanne please wake me up, when it is time to be back, I am a little tired, I haven't slept since yesterday." after saying that I drift to the land of dreams, leaving a blushing Saintess to be stunned.

"it is unfair to say that and went to sleep." she then enjoyed the scenery and suddenly she saw a flash of scene. a picture of a dragon like monster that is roaring towards the sky and took flight slowly disappearing.

'Jeanne, what happend?'

'Laeticia, I just got a revelation it was a picture of a monster.'

'then is that monster going to appear on this war?, where will it came from?'

'I don't know, but I feel the monster gave a very familiar feeling.'

'hmm, maybe it's just you felt wrong."

she choose to put this thought behind and enjoy the moment for now, she misses the moment of peace and simplicity, and looking at the young man on her side who like to tease and make fun of her she smiled.

'Jeanne, do you like Alex?'

'Laeticia now you too started to tease me.'

'I'm not teasing you, Jeanne you just act like a girl in love, and a very pure one at that.'

'is that so, I never know what is the feeling of love, after all I was roaming the battlefield.'

'then how about try and have a date with him?'

'no, Laeticia this is your body, I can't do that.'

'hooh, so if you have your own body you would date him, Jeanne is very naughty.'

'moo please stop the teasing.'

Laeticia both of them was joking around with each other, until Jeanne become sleepy.
