So... You come here often

People die if they are killed - anime Shirou

(That's some DEEP stuff there Shirou, you shouldn't be thinking about that at your age)

---

Under the bright morning sun, we can see people walking around, adults talking among themselves, and kids having fun.

They are savoring this peaceful time and are just having fun overall and if we look further at a certain area we can see that there's a house that looks way too modern for its time but it does have some classic Japanese design.

It's a huge house made out of pristine wood and clear white stone, it is connected to two other buildings and has a large open yard.

There is also a wooden wall that surrounds the place and is connected to the front gate of the house.

The front gate has a pathway that connects the front of the house and the walkway, along the pathway, you can see many bushes of different sizes and characteristics.

Even though this design would've attracted a lot of attention from the passerby, they would strangely ignore the house and go on their way.

If we were to look closer we can see a kind of bonded field that surrounds the house, the function of the bonded field seems to hypnotize the mind to erase the presence of the house and tricks any passerby into not noticing the house.

As we look Inside the house, we can see Dhurin letting out a tired sigh whiles relaxing on the large gray couch.

"I wonder what's on the news" as he went to grab the remote and turn the tv on.

When he looks at what is on the news all he can see are talks about the destruction at the harbor and the explosion further away. Many theorize that it's some kind of terrorist attack or something similar and many people believe this.

While the minority think it's a gas leak.

"Guess there's nothing new on the tv, it's already been a day since the fight against Berserker and there's only been talk about the aftermath of our clash". He said as he turn off the tv and look out the window.

As he sits in silence enjoying the view out the window and watching people, he starts to think back to how his time here was.

"It's already been a week since I come to this world, I already came to terms that I will stay in this world for possible my whole life".

As he thought back to his experience in this world and concludes that he won't be able to have his normal life again.

When he saw how everyone acted he would compare them to their anime counterparts and notice the small difference in their personality.

"What am I thinking this is reality, obviously it's going to be different from the show, but there come the problems of how different it is". As he grew worried about the consequences of being here and taking Caster's place.

"I've never seen Berserker like this in the show or any other works and with that delusional Caster gone it won't follow the same path and unexpected things might happen". As he remembered that Caster play a big role in how the grail war ended.

As he got off the couch he went towards the door and the clothes on him changed to more suitable clothes for this time.

When he opened the door and look out he saw how peaceful it is and thought back to his home on earth.

"I guess I'll deal with that later when the time come". He said enjoying the quiet nature.

While walking out and locking the doors behind him, he would go along the pathway and see the nature around him as he walk. The feeling of being at peace, this were what he felt being by nature.

Once he's out the gate he would walk along the sidewalk and watch the happy family going by and smell the nice aroma coming from the restaurants around.

While on his walk he would come across a park full of kids and he could see how cheerful the kids are playing in the park.

When he saw this a feeling inside of him grew, the feelings of belonging.

When he was younger he never truly felt friendship as his family would always move away and because of this, he wasn't able to form any deep bond with anyone, leaving him starving for attention from anyone.

And when he saw these kids being happy and playing with their friends, he would remember that they might get caught in the crossfire between Masters.

With determination, he made a promise to himself, "I will protect this place, I don't care what unexpected disaster befall this place I'll protect it, the people, young, old doesn't matter I will protect them all".

Pov: Dhurin

*Bell jingle*

We're the sound the door makes when I opened it, as I walk in I can smell the nice aroma of the coffee here.

I walk towards a small table in the corner and wait for the waiter as I look at what's on the menu to see what they have.

They seem to have many different dishes and some that are from different countries, even the drink here is interesting.

Once I know what I wanted I put down the menu and take a look around the place and noticed that it was quite empty with some people here and there enjoying themselves.

After a few minutes of waiting the waiter came and as me what I want. "How was your day sir and what would you like".

"Well I'm having a great time and may I get a cappuccino coffee". I mean it, I'm actually having a great day, just seeing the people around me having fun is enough for me.

"Then you should continue to have a great day sir and I'll be back with your order". As he bow and left to go to serve my drink.

While I wait I pull out a book from within my storage space I brought with me, the book is one of my favorite and it's about a teenage boy being almost in the same situation as me, but he doesn't have any power that he knows of and is brought to that world by a powerful witch.

Later while on his journey he figured out that he has an ability that doesn't let him truly die, I like him because every time he dies he would learn from his mistakes and look for a way to push forward even if he loses hope.

Currently, I'm at the part where he became a mini version of himself and I'm hoping to see where this goes.

As I put down the book I would look to my left and meet eyes with someone I didn't expect to see here, she is wearing a suit and she also seems to be surprised to see me here too.

"So… you come here often".

"Saber?".

POV: narrator

"So… you come here often". The man in white asks the woman who is in a black suit.

"No, my master told me about this place and I wanted to see what they have to offer, but why are you here?" Saber asks as she looks at Dhurin with wariness not expecting to meet him here.

"Can't I enjoy myself with some delicacies?" I said while smiling at her trying to show that I mean no harm.

"You can't blame me for being cautious as I didn't expect to see you here, I thought you would be busy given what you and Archer did last night". She said

"Well, you know After all that workload you're gonna get tired of it, and just sitting around doing nothing ain't helping either, so as you can see I'm trying out the different foods they have here". I said explaining why I'm here and partially lying about the food part.

"I see". As they stay in this awkward silence not knowing what to say to the others, the waiter from earlier came to the rescue and also brought back with him Dhurin order and an extra drink.

"Ah, good sir would you perhaps know this beautiful lady beside you". He asks.

"I don't have any business-" as Saber goes to say something she was suddenly interrupted by the waiter as he asks her to take a seat.

"Would you like to take a seat my lady, it must be uncomfortable standing there"? The waiter said as he move the chair for her to sit on.

"We- well, I" as she looks back at Dhurin and turns back to the waiter who is awaiting her answer.

"I'll appreciate that, you have my thanks," Saber said as she released a sigh and relented to the waiter's persuasion.

"Haha, it is no problem, it's my job to help and serve others after all". As the waiter placed down the coffee Dhurin order another drink in front of Saber who only looks at him with confusion.

"I didn't order anything". Saber said as she didn't want to take someone else's drink that they paid for.

"Oh this is from the good sir, he wanted me to get you one since he felt that It'll be inappropriate for him to only be the one with something to have". The waiter said as he gestured towards Dhurin who look like a fish out of water.

"What? But I thought you didn't-" before she can continue she's once again speaks over.

"Then I'll be going as I have my duty to take care of, I hope the young lady and you have a great time here".

The waiter said as he goes to leave. But before actually leaving he look at Dhurin who gave him a look that say 'what are you doing?!

The only thing the waiter responded with is a smile and a wink towards him.

It was at that moment that Dhurin realized that there must have been some misunderstanding, but it was too late to fix that now as he noticed that Saber is looking at him with a stern look.

"So Caster care to explain what that was about". Saber asks as she squints her eyes trying to see if she can find anything suspicious about him.

When Dhurin saw this he started sweating as he doesn't know what to do, "hehe" he scratched the back of his head. "well… you see… look there's this nice curry on the menu and it's really good".

"Even though I know you are hiding something I won't push it now tell me about this great food called curry". She said as she look at the menu.

As she called over the waiter from before and order the curry. "Just wait for a bit and I'll be back with your order miss". The waiter said before disappearing.

After some time the waiter came back with her order and placed the curry in front of Saber, when Saber saw the curry she started to drool as the curry looked really appetizing.

She goes pick up the utensils and got a spoon full of curry she ate it. Once she tasted the curry she let out a small hum and is currently looking like someone who has their favorite food.

When Dhurin saw her reaction to tasting the curry he couldn't help but let out a chuckle, which got the attention of Saber who was enjoying her curry.

"Wa- what are you laughing at". She said with an angry face as her face burn up from the embarrassment of seeing her like this.

"Well it's just that I find it hilarious seeing you enjoying your curry, and you look cute when you get angry".

"Wa- what do you think you're doing, we're supposed to be en- enemies, and don't think your fla- flattering will do you any good". She said while stuttering and with an even reddish face than before.

While they are having their little squabble the waiter in the kitchen is watching them with a warm smile.

After apologizing to Saber she was able to calm down and ate all her curry in a second, she ask for another bowl of curry. The waiter refilled her cup before coming back with another curry but just before he can leave Saber asked for another plate.

As both the waiter and Dhurin look at Saber with shook faces as the curry was just there and the next thing they knew it was gone. "Alright, I'll be back".

And this situation keep happening over and over again before she ate over 15 bowls of curry and said she was done eating.

By this point, the waiter has gotten used to this as when he came back with the check, he actually felt proud of himself that she liked his cooking.

"That will be $120, miss".

When Saber heard this she froze as she didn't have any money on her and the one that she has only amounted to $50.

Just before she could say anything she heard, "I'll pay for it". As she look at Dhurin with shock before saying that she will pay for it as she was the one who ordered all of them.

"No it's fine it's on me this time as I enjoyed spending my time here with you". Dhurin said before realizing what he said.

"L-Look it's not that I don't like spending time with you it's just-". Before he could say anything more to embarrass himself, he heard a small laugh coming from Saber which promptly shut him up.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry for laughing at you it's just that Id never thought that the great Phantom King would be so humble". She said with a kind smile.

'My impression of him has truly changed in some aspect' she thought in her mind.

"So are you still willing to pay for my check"? She said embarrass about saying it herself.

As he sees this he shows a kind smile before saying "of course, I always keep my promises".

As they got out of the restaurant they look at the clear night sky and see the bright moon that shine upon them.

"I have a great time here, I really do it's just that we are contracted to opposing Masters. If we weren't in a grail war I think we could've been great friends". Dhurin said as he look at Saber with a kind smile.

"As do I, if we were to ever meet again it'll be as allies, Caster". Saber said with a sad voice.

When he saw that she was feeling down, he decided to tell her his name. "Dhurin called me Dhurin".

She look at him with a surprised face before letting out a small smile. "Okay Dhurin, I'll be going now as I have to get back to my master, she must be wondering where I am".

"Very well, till we meet again".

(Also I have severely underestimated how annoying it is to write on a phone)
