Restaurant Of In Between Chapter 17: Servant
🕑 Added 2024-06-18 12:24:47 +0000 UTCI realized that I have a very, very terrible reputation on this app. But then again I begin not to care at all.
Honestly it's kinda been my fault, cause my story gets dropped and all. But it's just a hard thing for me to do since I get bored most of the time.
I write whatever I want to, if these people dislike that then there's nothing I could do.
But I'll try to finish some story I started, I mean I really do. But it's extremely hard to do when I can't even visualize the ending.
None of my stories doesn't really have an ending plot but if I do think of one. It makes me feel unsatisfied. That's why most of them contained fillers and stuff cause I have really no idea how to proceed toward a decent ending.
Anyway forgive me for my rant.
—-
I was stunned by the sight before me, but before I could reply and come to my senses. I heard Shiro from behind.
“Akihiko-senpai! Are you alright?!”
I shifted my attention toward my kouhai and saw the look of concern on her face, and honestly it made me feel happy knowing that she at least cared for my well-being.
But then again this was the Homurahara fake janitor we're talking about someone who helps literally anyone if you ask, basically a well-known pushover.
“I heard you screaming all the way to the house, I thought something bad happened to you..”
I smiled at her worried look. “No, I'm fine it's just someone was-...huh?”
I looked back in the direction where the woman appeared, however she wasn't there anymore.
“There was someone? What do you mean senpai?” Shiro tilted in confusion.
I blinked a couple times and said. “I swear there was someone here..”
“Really…?” She asked him curiously.
“Yeah I'm sure of it…” Although I said with doubt because I'm pretty sure that was no hallucinations or at least I think it wasn't.
Shiro looked around the shed and saw no one and thought. “Maybe you're just seeing senpai because it's really dusty and dark here..”
No, there's no way that's the case if it was really it, then he shouldn't have heard her talk.
I'm certain that she's not a fragment of my imagination but insisting that she's real is another thing entirely.
There's no way I'd want my kouhai to think that I'm mentally unstable so I decided to agree with her for the sake of not being labeled as mentally unstable person.
“Yes, you might be right.. maybe I'm just seeing things..” I laughed it off, even though I knew that I was lying.
Thankfully she seemed to buy it and smiled. “Anyway, senpai, did you get the tools?”
“Oh right, I was about to ask what tools you use exactly..?”
And after that she told me what she needed and took it from the shed, as we left.
I couldn't help but look back at the shed, then I let out a sigh thinking that it wasn't worth thinking about this for now.
As we disappeared entirely out of the place, a familiar figure reappeared looking at the building where we disappeared to.
“What a curious development…” Then she disappeared once more and followed her ‘master’.
—
I went home directly after helping my kouhai with fixing the broken pipe. It didn't take long for me to arrive at my place and I stared at it and said. “It didn't change at all..”
I'm a bit disappointed that nothing was changed outside, but when I decided to go inside the difference was apparent.
“What the fuck-”
Pardon me for my words but, it's only natural after all, the change inside was truly shocking.
I could even barely recognize my restaurant, it's like the place was straight out of michelin star restaurant.
Not to mention the expansion of space, this shouldn't be possible without some sort of supernatural powers.
Like, the inside was bigger than the outside.
“Man, I know I'm expecting some changes but this definitely takes the cake.” Honestly, how powerful was this system of mine?
I mean, to basically expand space without changing anything from outside is something that science can't replicate.
At very least the current modern science.
While looking around with undisguised awe, I noticed something strange on my right hand.
“Eh? A tattoo?!” I stared at the tribal looking tattoo on my hand that I definitely don't remember adding to my right hand.
I tried to remove it, but I was met with failure. To be fair I wasn't really expecting it to be removed either. After all, I have a feeling that it takes more to remove these tattoos.
As I was trying to remove the tattoo from my hand using some brush, suddenly someone spoke behind me.
“It would be unwise for you to do that.”
I swore I never snapped my neck faster than today, as I shifted my focus onto whoever was behind me.
I saw that it was the same woman I met in the shed. “It's you! The strange woman I saw in the shed! I knew you were real!”
I pointed at her head, while she shook her head with a sigh. “Haah..based on how you reacted, you don't know if I am correct?”
I blinked at that odd question and replied. “Was I supposed to know what you are?”
The woman crossed both of her arms and despite the cloak covering her face I could feel the disappointment on her face.
And to be honest, I'm not sure what to think of that.
“I thought I was mistaken…but it seems that I was correct of my earlier assumption after all…” The purple cloaked woman let out an exasperated sigh.
Honestly..? I'm getting a bit annoyed at her disappointed tone, because I'm not sure why she's like this but it's definitely not a pleasant feeling of being looked down like this.
“Look, I don't know why you look so disappointed at me, but to judge me like this without even knowing me is kind of unfair don't you think? Who are you-, no the right question is what are you? Because you're definitely not a normal person.” I said with a bit of heat on my tone.
I didn't notice that my tattoo was glowing due to the strong emotions I'm currently feeling.
While I may not have noticed it, this woman in front of me was making her cringe.
“I-look, I'm sorry master. I didn't mean to offend you like that. It's just we're at a disadvantage..” The woman quickly answered.
“Disadvantage at what exactly..?” Confusion was visible on my face.
“It seems that I have to explain everything from the beginning, very well. Listen closely master, you want to know what I am and what will soon come? Well everything started with a wish granting device called Holy Grail..”
—
After listening to what this woman or Caster her prior explanation of she is and the holy grail itself.
To say that I was shocked was an understatement.
For me to know that my world wasn't a magicless one, and the myth and legends of the past wasn't just actually a mere fantasy but a real history according to Caster.
My perspective of the world greatly changed after she explained things to me.
Staring at the woman, the being known as a servant in front of me. I couldn't help but say. “What in the world did I just stumbled upon?”
“A war, that's what you stumbled upon.” Caster said with a sigh.
“Right that too, what's going to happen now?” I genuinely asked.
“We should be preparing, luckily the war won't start until a month later. While it's unfortunate that you lack the means to sustain me due to the fact that you don't have prana.. Fortunately I was summoned as a caster meaning I would last for a while without prana, however it wouldn't last long that's why I needed some alternatives to get some prana to sustain myself and there's a few ways to do it with our current situation.” Caster explained.
“And that being..?”
“The most efficient one is to kidnap someone and drain their blood and convert them into prana–”
Hearing that, I immediately stopped her. “No, I won't allow it. Pick another one.”
While I may not be the nicest person around, I'm not cruel enough to ruin someone's life because it's convenient.
Hearing that from me, I swear I could see her lips smile a bit, however it quickly disappeared as soon as it appeared.
“Is that so? Very well, then the other one is…” Caster looked reluctant to say it, but eventually said. “Mana transfer.”
I blinked at that unfamiliar term. “And what exactly is that?”
Caster scowled and answered. “It's having sex.”
“Oh…ohhhh!” I became embarrassed as I realized the implications.
“You mean, me and you-”
“No, if you're thinking that I'm going to do it with you master, then you're mistaken…” Caster spat.
Okay, that actually hurt me a bit, I mean I know I'm not attractive but damn.
“However, if you're that desperate for the pleasures of flesh, you could use the command seal to force me.” Although she said that, I have a feeling that if I did force her she would do something that would kill me.
After all, she seems the type to hold a grudge.
Yep, I'm not going there.
“I won't do that, besides from what you told me. Command seals are extremely valuable, to waste it like that…anyway I promise that I won't ever use the command seal to force you to do something you dislike.” I promised her.
Caster stared at me, analyzing my intention and after a minute her expression softened as she realized that I'm being genuine.
“You have my thanks for that..”
“No problem, it's not a big deal.” I shrugged.
“It is to me, I could have been summoned by a vile master…I certainly could be worse.”
Oh right, that. It certainly could be worse like she said.
“Anyway, there's another way that doesn't involve kidnapping people or having sex.”
“And that is..?”
Caster looked at me in the eyes and said, “Finding a leyline.”

Omake - A different servant
A red blinding flash suddenly appeared in the shed for no reason, in his right hand there was a newly formed tattoo that certainly wasn't there before.
But Akihiko was too busy looking at what was in front of him.
It was a person who wore an old military German uniform and a very familiar symbol on this person's armbands.
As the smoke and dust slowly disappeared from the shed, the person became clearer.
It was a woman with a height of 5 '6, has long black hair and golden eyes, she has a killer body that most women would literally kill to have.
However, despite that. He could feel this authority just from standing there.
Her eyes were now boring into his very being, as if she was analyzing him.
After what it seemed like an eternity, suddenly she spoke. “Servant Avenger, Adolf Hitler. I have answered your call.”
Hearing that familiar name, Akihiko's eyes widened and blurted. “Adolf Hitler?! Isn't he supposed to be a dude?!”
And so, that's how he summoned the most notorious man (woman) in history as his servant.
A/N: This is just a totally random crap I wrote because it's funny to write it, either way if you want me to continue this. Feel free to tell me.

Ravioli Stromboli
Would love to see Medea get so confused with kirito's player tag, pochita, and and actual Elf Serie coming into the restaurant lol. Wonder if medea will notice the restaurant being bigger on the inside or not. Her personality is definitely fun for this lol

I'll stick with FSN for now. Might add FGO thou.
John Grechko
One thing you have to consider is that multiverse is a thing, therefore so is prototype, especially since we do get prototype variants in fgo
John Grechko
It’s still canon though, it’s an actual timeline, prototype Arthur is literally in fgo, and it has been confirmed it is a legit thing. But it’s ok if you don’t want to use it
John Paul
Oh, it only happened in prototype. I don't consider that cheap-ass thing as canon.
John Grechko
Yep, it happened in Prototype, Perseus (I think it was him?, it was rider) got materialized in that war
John Paul
Fr?
John Grechko
Ultimate act of trust lol
John Grechko
Fun fact, by using all three of your command seals, you can materialized your servant
