Operation 'Annoy Assassin' 1/2

Rin was genuinely confused when she saw the actual king of knights coming down the stairs in a maid outfit. However her doubts about why she would have done this were cleared the moment she saw Aqua coming down the stairs behind her while sporting a proud smile on her face.

"Sigh, did Aqua blackmail you or did you get yourself into this?" Rin asked Saber, who with an embarrassed look on her face looked down while saying "I got myself into this..."

"I see... well then you must also get yourself out of it." said Rin, clerkly not wanting anything to do with this.

She would have gotten involved if Aqua was bullying Saber into it or something like that, but if Saber was the one that gave Aqua the opportunity... well then it was not her problem.

She definitely was NOT trying to avoid ending up in a cosplay outfit as well.

As Rin tried to make her way out of the room, she was interrupted by Aqua's coughs.

Rin turned around and saw Aqua face coughing, most likely trying to get her attention. Looking at the proud expression on Aqua's face, she assumed she wanted to be praised for her work.

Rin however was obviously not going to praise her for making the king of knight wear a maid outfit, so she turned around and continued walking out of the room.

Aqua noticed this and jumped in her master's direction to grab her.

"B-But master! I turned a mighty lion into a cute kitten! I should be praised and rewarded for it!" screamed Aqua while holding onto her master's leg.

Rin ignored Aqua's tantrum and turned her attention towards Saber.

"We are going to leave in a couple of hours to talk to Caster, so get changed Saber." said Rin.

However, Aqua instantly stopped her fit and stood up while answering Rin. "Uhhh, sorry but no can do master, she needs to wear it for the rest of the day. That was the deal."

Going to the temple where Caster and her master lived was quite awkward for Rin. On one side there was a blonde maid, while on the other side there was a blu-haired woman with two alcohol bottles, one on each hand.

"I didn't expect you to be serious, but it appears I underestimated you once again Aqua." said Rin while looking in Aqua's direction with slight disappointment.

"Hahaha thanks master, it is easy to underestimate someone when even describing them as perfection isn't enough. In the end it doesn't matter what you do, you will underestimate them regardless." said Aqua proudly.

"That is not what I meant... sigh, forget it." said Rin.

"Emmm Aqua, why are you bringing so much alcohol? I don't think it is appropriate, but even then, one bottle should be more than enough right?" asked Artoria.

She didn't understand at all what line of thought Aqua followed before making decisions, nor was she clear about why she acted like all those decisions were the most logical ones.

"Okey before we get there, there are certain things I haven't said yet." said Aqua suddenly, catching Rin's and Artoria's attention instantly.

"First of all is Caster's master, the guy used to be an assassin or something like that so he is pretty baddass. Most likely would kick your ass master, maybe even cause some solid damage on you Saber if you underestimate him too much. He was able to kill Ruider, even if she was still extremely weakened it is nothing to scoff at." continued Aqua without waiting for them to talk.

"So... my teacher is not only Caster's master but also used to be an assassin?" interrupted Rin.

"Yes, but you really shouldn't focus on the small and unimportant details now master." said Aqua dismissing her concerns instantly.

"Yes yes of course, I am just wondering here, why you haven't said anything about me going to school with a killer!" said Rin.

"Yeeeshh master if you worry so much about such pointless things you will get wrinkles faster. How are you going to manage to conquer all sorts of beauties and convince them to join your harem if you get old fast huh?" said Aqua.

"I don't want to have a harem!" said Rin while veins were popping on her forehead.

"Come on now master, this isn't the time for you to get angry, this chapter is all about annoying Assassin and we haven't even gotten to him, how do you think the readers will feel if I take all the time to annoy you?" asked me muahahhaha, fourth-wall break losersss.

"I don't understand anything that just came out of your mouth... but did you just admit that you are indeed annoying me on purpose?" asked Rin while more veins popped on her forehead. Aqua, while being extremely shameless, never actually admitted to annoying others on purpose and instead said it was her being 'helpful'.

"The second thing is that there will be two servants there, Caster and Assassin."

"You are gonna move on just like that?!" asked Rin, currently having trouble about how someone had such a thick skin.

"The Assassin there is weird, but don't worry, Saber will play with him if he doesn't let us through. If the does let us through then I will give him one of the two bottles I brought. Poor guy is always there standing up without a drink for himself..." Aqua said, not paying any mind to her master's anger.

"The third thing is that I can fulfil Caster's wish, in other words all we are going to do is make an offer to them to become our allies. I would try to get her to join our harem master, but she should have already fallen for her own master by now, truly a shame, she is total waifu material, but I guess you can't have them all..." continued Aqua.

Rin felt a headache dealing with her, so she opted for the best possible solution for now... ignore her comments.

"Now, for the fourth and final thing, don't call Caster a witch. She is quite sensitive about that and I have a feeling we will have trouble as it is."

"You still haven't told us her identity." said Rin seriously.

"Well I know, however if I were to tell you her identity and then she joins us, she might be angry or sad. I would usually not care, but identities are an important thing, to some names should only be shared among those they consider worthy. I may be a goddess but not because of that will I trample over this." said Aqua seriously.

Rin and Artoria were surprised when they heard Aqua's words.

"Besides, there isn't much time for me to tell you all that anyway, we are already here after all."

"Sigh, look at what you did master, the chapter is over and we didn't even get to Assassin, much less annoy him."
