S3 Chapter 12: A Slice of Life

The city of Unisburg, with a population of 44,044 individuals all looking for a way of life that suits them in their unique and adventurous home. A city where not only the people strive for their ideals, but also the Heroic Spirits among them who have made themselves known loudly and clearly. This dignified city would without a doubt not be as prosperous if it weren't for the fact that the grail was supplying the land with figures of renown creating all sorts of attractions. It is that very grail in all its mysterious ways that the Second and Third Master as well as the Mages' Association's Reines seek out to keep under watch. Two days after the Second Master's attempt and one after the Third's, a meeting had to be held the following evening. However the day was still full of excitement, each Master with their own way of going about it...

"Shou!" Nero shouts, swinging from the stairway.

"Nero?" Shou says turning around after reaching the ground floor.

"What do you think? Absolutely breathtaking isn't it now!?"

Shou stands there observing the Emperor of Rome, her golden hair shone as radiant as ever, her smile wide and proud, chest held out, and dress elegantly flowing in her constant twirling on the stair landing, and to Shou she looked... exactly the same as she always did.

"I... yeah, did you... you look... Did you do something to your hair?"

Nero stops, "Umu! The top lock of my hair now points to the right! That mirror could be useful sometimes! Hahahaha!"

Shou lets out a relieving sigh, seeing how he managed to avoid causing a nuclear meltdown.

"Shou, how can you care about such trivial matters, look upon my legs and see true beauty," says Melt sitting on the couch kicking out one of her most valued legs.

"Did I hear that right?! The only thing trivial about me is your standing in comparison to my genius self, no I far exceed genius!" Nero starts shouting, marching down the stairs.

"My standing? You must be referring to your trivial height compared to my tall, slender grace, hmph," Melt says with a smirk.

"Your height is fake hater! Fake legs!"

"Do you want to die, I have plenty of techniques to make you regret what you just said," Melt snaps.

"Ladies! Ladies! Stop! Nero you're beyond gorgeous and Melt your legs are beautiful, there's no need to fight! Damn it is too early for all this," Shou holds out his hands to get in the way of Nero and Melt from clashing any further.

"Rgh," Heracles lets out as he stands in the corner of the living room.

"Hold on Heracles, we'll go on your walk in a minute," Shou says.

Melt and Nero fold their arms, turning the other way with puffed cheeks.

Meanwhile, at the Third Master's residence, things were nice and quiet in part to the fact that the so called troublemakers of the house were occupied if not absent. Not naming any names of course.

Julius,"Hehe, and now for the final touches... yes, and a little bit of this... swirl that... and done."

The Master stands back from a cake he had baked that morning and was dressing it up for a delightful combination of flavors.

"Master, give me half," MHXA says, coming into the kitchen.

"I can give you a piece, I may not be the most adept but even I can feel your mana is loaded right now, did something happen to your core this morning?"

"Um... I actually had manga to read, save me some," MHXA says, leaving.

"She's hiding something..." The Master thinks to himself, as he cuts the cake.
