*Kusanagi Ken's Perspective*

"China's representative?" I asked

"Yes, it seems like we have already met" Li Jing replied

"We have?" I asked again

I am pretty sure with that striking feature of hers I would remember her…

"Though I was asleep at that time"

"Ah!" Now I remember. She was the girl being carried by archer "I'm sorry I forgot you for a second"

"No it's fine" she replied

"So are you done now?" Lein interfered

"Teacher, It is basic etiquette not to interrupt when others are speaking" She lectured Lein.

Uwah! Did she lecture Lein of all people? Starting an argument against Lein is something… I don't really recommend haha.

"Talking about basic etiquettes? That's Princess Li Jing for you" Lein retorted

"Of course, etiquette is a must for a Princess like me" she proudly declared

A princess? Now we have a royalty… but how would Lein retort back?

"I see I see, but little Jing. Isn't it also a basic etiquette to knock before you enter?" Lein said while smiling.

"Wha!?!" the princess was dumbfounded

Lein poured another cup of coffee "And you were the one who interrupted me earlier" he said as he take a sip.

The princess went into full silent mode.

"Now then little Jing? Do you have more problems with etiquette? Or do you want me to teach you 'basic etiquettes?'"

"I apologize I was wrong, teacher" Princess Li Jing bowed her head

"Its a good thing you are brave but try and learn when to pick a fight" Lein lectured her now

"Yes…" she whimpered

"Take a seat"

"Yes" she sat down quietly

"That was fast…" I commented

"Well… Where were we?"

"About ruler" Kiya answered

"Ah right about ruler…"

"Yea. The princess here said that you already have a plan" Kiya replied as she looked at the princess

"Truth be told… I still have no plans against ruler" Lein answered calmly

"That's not like you, teacher"

"It seems like you know each other for a long time" I commented

"Indeed, He is my teacher ever since I was 12"

"Excuse me but how old are you now?" I asked

"18" she answered

"Hol up… so you are saying…"

"Yep I've been teaching her when I was 11" Lein answered

"You genius piece of…"

"Calm down, Ken"

"Moving on to the topic" Lein continued "I can't create a plan right now because I am lacking information about Ruler" he added

"That's true" Li Jing replied

"That is why" Lein looked at Lupin "Give me anything you can give me. Arsene Lupin"

"That's what I was planning to do" he agreed

"I don't have a plan against Ruler… But it doesn't mean I don't have a plan against Saber"

"You've been saying saber this saber that. But you haven't even told us his true name" I replied

"You will know soon~" Lein teased

"Yea you are that kind of character" I sighed

"So with that being said. This morning and afternoon will be preparation for the battle…and at night will be the war the true finale as they would call it"

"What should we prepare?" Kiya asked

"Just take a rest. I need everyone to be physically and mentally fit"

"So you are already prepared" Li Jing commented

"Yep! I have already prepared everything" he replied "That is why chop chop everyone go ahead and enjoy your day. I cannot promise everyone will return alive"

"Can't you at least be positive about that?" I asked

"I'm a proud member of the realist faction, Ken. And I won't ever deny it~" he replied "That is why there is no use in sugarcoating words"

"I forgot you are that kind of person…"

"Have fun, everyone! We will be having a last meeting with everyone around 6 PM sharp"

Everyone nodded and left the room one by one. Before I left I approached Lein.

"Have you seen Haruka?" I asked him

"She is training with Berserker"

"Now her switch is on huh?"

"Yep. I can't stop her" Lein ranted

"Well she is your sister"

"Yea yea I can't say no to her"

I sighed "I just hope that she won't push herself too hard"

"Same I hope she won't kill herself"

"Please don't jinx it"

"HAHAHA you already know that she won't die easily"

"That's true she won't die easily"

"Yep yep. So stop worrying about her. She might be covered in cuts and bruises now but that won't be enough to stop her"

"You always speak like you know her for years"

"Haha it's weird, isn't it? I also don't know… as a philosopher myself I want to find out why"

"Do you really need to find out why?"

"I don't know… anyways you should rest now. I have some things to do"

"Alright. You should know when to take a break" I told him and left the room
