Date: 21th of May 2042|7:00 AM

Location: Lumeria, Ybalish

*Kusanagi Ken's Perspective*

The deal went on as Assassin wager his deals.

"I just hope that you can protect her in your humble dome" Assassin proposed

"Charlotte huh?

"Yes that is all I wish for"

"I see I guess that is fine then" Lein agreed easily as he casually took a bite of the cookies

"That…was easier than I thought" Assassin was dumbfounded

"Want me to make it harder then?"

"Please no. I am satisfied with the outcome" Assassin replied immediately

"So? Do you have any information about the other servants of the west?"

"I have some…"

"I see that makes things a lot easier. You can rest for now… No, you should write what you know about the other servants of the West. I will be needing them by the afternoon"

"Is it because both sides want to end this war as soon as possible?"

"It is. And it will all end. Using the original rules of the war" Lein answered

"Original? You mean at night?" Kiya asked

"Yep. We still have plenty of time to prepare"

I sighed "Just what will happen"

"You just want to ask if we can win" Lein interrupted me "Don't worry. We only have one problem in this war… And that is Saber"

"I haven't seen Saber of West yet" Kiya said

"You would be dead right now if you did"

"Is that how strong he was?" Kiya asked

"He is much stronger than that" Lein exaggerated

"Indeed, he is the strongest servant of the west" Lupin agreed

"That is why, Lupin. You can use the other room of this house but you will be giving all the information that you have to my assistant" Lein asked

"I don't mind. But before that… Do you know about the existence of the Ruler?" Lupin asked

"Ruler? Have you met him?" Lein asked

"So you knew he exist!" Lupin grumbled

"It is natural for a ruler to exist in this war"

"But it is not natural for him to intervene"

Lein was silent for a moment and placed his coffee cup down the table. He crossed his legs and his arms.

"Tell me more" he demanded

"I do not know his true name nor his origins. All I know is his strength."

"That's fine. What about his appearance?" Lein asked

"He was carrying a staff… He might be from the Jewish Mythology? That's the feeling that I get"

"A staff? Who is he? Moses?" I replied as a joke. But everyone stared at me.

"That's not impossible" Lein answered

"Oi oi… that was just a joke" I said again

"But Master what you said might be really possible" Kiya also commented

"She is right Monsieur Lein" Lupin added

"Come on… Are we seriously planning to fight against him?" I grumbled

"That…. I am not sure…" Lein replied

"So you really did plan to fight him? For what?" I asked loudly

"He is right Lein. Why try to pick a fight with a ruler?" Kiya added

"I said I am not sure" he sighed "I just have a feeling that it will end up like that" he answered

"As long as we don't break the rules of the war… wait? Break the rules?" Kiya commented

"Yes. That is what I also thought of" Lupin added

"The rules were broken many times yet Ruler… Did nothing" Lein added

"So you think that Ruler has a plan?" I replied

"A very bad one…though that is all just an assumption" Lein shrugged it off like it was not a big deal.

"We should prepare just in case" Lupin commented

"I agree" Kiya also replied

Lein sighed "But I am so lazy right nowwwww" he shouted "I am doing a lot of things now you want me to prepare dadaadadadadadaaada" Lein started to rant… seriously where is the charisma he showed earlier.

"You talk like that but you are already planning your next move, teacher" a girl's voice appeared

"So you are awake now. Li Jing"

The girl entered the front door and bowed "I have fully recovered, teacher" the girl was calm. She didn't showed any expressions yet her aura is dominating. Her long red hair left a striking impression and her eyes were just like flames.

"Why the formality? Jing" Lein asked

"Well. There are visitors so I should be formal as much as possible" she answered with a smile

"So you just want to show of your good side?" Lein sighed

"If it weren't for teacher's misconduct when teaching me I would have recovered earlier"

"That one was your fault"

"Ok so who is this girl?" I asked

"You already met her, Master" Kiya answered

"I don't remember…"

"I apologize for that. I am Li Jing. The representative of China and the Master of Archer" she said and bowed gracefully.
