S2 Chapter 14: Respite

Now two days after the invasion of Altera DX, everyone was returned to the city and before anyone could get a hold of the attacker, she had up and left. With people getting their bearings after the ordeal and the Masters barely recovering from exhausting themselves, things were a bit chaotic.

The First Master.

"Yaaaawn," Adam crawls out of bed to find Ushiwakumaru sitting across the room watching him.

"My Lord you--"

"Woah! Ushiwakumaru!" Adam stumbles back a step.

"Yes My Lord?" Ushiwakumaru stands and approaches her Master, hanging her head a bit.

"Oh uh... right. Good job," Adam says while getting up to pat Ushiwakumaru's head.

The Rider wiggles her head and grins like a puppy having their belly rubbed while the Master's hand is on her.

"Let's go see how the others are doing," Adam says, now heading out of his room.

Coming down stairs and into the kitchen, Archer of Inferno and Musashi are preparing rice and fish.

"Ah! You're awake!?" Musashi shouts.

"Good morning Master," Archer says while continuing her task of grilling fish.

"Y-yeah... um so I know about the Valkyries but..."

"But what?! Haha!" Alstofo chimes in, grabbing onto Adam's arm.

"'Stolfo, he's not officially our Master yet! Excuse him. He's lost all reasoning," Bradamante approaches.

"Sure, yeah. But why are you two in my h-- hey quit it," Adam pulls away from Alstofo who was rubbing himself all over him in excitement.

Musashi goes over to hold Adam defensively. Ushiwakumaru stands at the kitchen entrance in silence, but her presence was known.

"Why are you two in my house?" Adam finished his question.

"They are proud warriors who helped us fight against the calamity," Thrúd flies in.

"We are Charlemagne's knights! We were like wow there's our King! So on my Hippogriff we flew through a rainbow and then ended up coming out of a flower! Then from the grail we came to help!" Alstofo enacts their story, flapping his arms about cheerfully.

"I guess that's one way to put it, but the part that matters is the Charlemagne we thought we were following ended up not being the same one we knew," Bradamante steps forth with her explanation.

"No one answered the question yet, " Adam says, sitting down still groggy from waking up. Musashi is yet to remove herself from him to defend against Alstofo.

"We ask that you let us be your Servants. We shouldn't take up too much mana considering our position," Bradamante says with a bit of cheer.

"Yeah! I'm the weakest link! But I'm still pretty useful!" Alstofo throws up their fists and winks with a kissy face.

"Sigh ok... but you two can't stay here. There's not enough room," Adam says, rubbing his forehead.

"And what about you? Did you want a contract too?" Adam asks a blonde haired, and blue eyed girl in his living room across the way.

"Mhm? You are already my Master, Master." The girl says coming over to the kitchen.

"Ah! That's something important to tell you! When you were asleep Salter transformed!" Musashi exclaims.

"I wouldn't say I transformed. I am simply me," Artoria stands there with her hand to her chest.

"Umm. Ok. I've seen enough... I'm going back to bed," Adam says getting up, "We can make contracts when I wake up."
