The King of the Grail's Fate (Fate/Nasuverse)

Chapter XXXVI: Calm

Harrison awoke with a groan as if he had a terrible hangover, or what he thought one would feel like though he had never participated in drinking like some of the other people at school. "GOD SCHOOL THAT'S RIGHT," Harrison shouted as he jumped out of bed, the dizziness hitting him like a sack of bricks a moment later. He held his hand in his hands and he slowly recovered, once his vision stopped swimming he looked to his left back to his empty bed. "Gosh what a dream it felt so real," Harrison mumbled to himself before Salter opened the door, and she looked absolutely pissed he had woken her up early, "Haha s-sorry," Harrison mumbled. Not only this but, similarly to when Harrison had woken up from the contract with Jalter she was sitting on his windowsill reading a manga, this time it seemed like she had started demon slayer, Harrison questioned how long his stockpile of manga would hold out at this rate.

Harrison was still getting used to the abundance of people in his home especially those who were asleep still, that being Sakata and Annabelle who currently took up a lot of space in Harrison's living room. "So what's for breakfast today," a hushed voice came from behind Harrison startling him slightly. It was Yor except she looked half asleep and her hair was a mess, it was the first time Harrison had really seen her not so put together. "Well sadly I haven't had time to go food-" Harrison started before he was interrupted with a point from Yor to the fridge. He made his way to it and opened it afraid of what would be stored within. A sigh escaped his lips as he realized the fridge had been fully stocked along with the pantry. "Guess I'll whip something together," Harrison said resigning him to his work as head chef for his room of stowaways. 

Harrison noticed as he was cooking that the shower was running all morning as first Yor used it, then Salter filtered in followed by Jalter, "Ugh my utilities." However, shortly enough everyone who was up was fed and Harrison got ready himself. Yor wore her infamous way to preppy business attire for a public school look. A white blouse with a gray cardigan and black pencil skirt, simple yet screamed professional. Salter was in her sporty clothes black biker shorts, and the Hat Harrison bought her as her staple, and Jalter was in something Harrison never pegged her to wear especially because she would be in spirit form the entire day. Jalter wore a red sweater that hung off her shoulders, which she must have borrowed from Yor, and a white skirt that fell just above her knees with black leggings. "Jalter, I am surprised you put on a whole outfit for staying in spirit form the entire day," the naive Harrison inquired. 

"What do you mean staying in spirit form all day, I am going to be fully present," she said proudly puffing out her chest slightly. "Oh so you'll be with Salter surveying the outskirts I understand," Harrison said in plain denial of what he knew she meant. "N-no I am coming with you and Yor," Jalter retorted quaintly. "I don't see how that's fair," Salter responded as if already knowing Harrison wouldn't have been able to turn her down. "Hehe uh Salter I don't think I really have much of a choice with this one," Harrison tried to formulate excuses. "It is okay I know the witch, and besides I will always be your favorite," Salter said before bonding away knowing a swift attack would come from Jalter with those fighting words. Sure enough, it did Jalter only cut through the air where Salter had been, however.

Changing the topic quickly Harrison turned to Sakata who was yet to leave Annabelle's side. "Sakata remember if you need anything BB left a trigger on the counter to notify Yor, and we will be on our way in a flash, regardless we will see you soon," Harrison said with a wave as he began to exit the apartment flanked by the other three girls. "YOU ARE NOT GETTING AWAY THAT EASY," Jalter screamed as she chased Salter down the stairs. However, Salter dodged her attempts easily getting on her motorcycle and quickly pulling out of the parking lot.

After lots of harsh words and pouting from Jalter, Harrison and Yor finally coerced her into getting in the car. "Stupid knight, swordsman, or whatever I am way cooler than her anyways," Jalter mumbled under her breath as she clicked her seat belt. Turning on the radio to avoid any further conflict Harrison started humming to the music.

Harrison totally lost himself in the music and the wind rushing through his hair. Soon enough he had forgotten Yor and Jalter were in the car with him. Harrison was still used to driving by himself most of the time and started to sing out. When the song finally came to its close Harrison looked over remembering who was in the car with him and his face immediately flashed a bright red. Yor coughed breaking the awkward silence that ensued. "I think I am going to have BB make some documents and alter the computer systems to include Jalter on the rosters, does Jeanne work or do you prefer Jalter," Yor asked.

"Uhh Jalter is fine Jeanne is a little weird, haha" Jalter tried to laugh off, however soon enough Harrison did pull into the parking lot that was quickly starting to fill up, it was weird for him not to be crazy early. "So Jalter remember no swords, and no threatening people's lives no magic, and no breaking out in full german," Harrison drilled her before school was due to start. Yor and Harrison were both worried the woman from the 15th century wouldn't acclimate well to public high school in the 21st century.

"I understand gosh," Jalter said crossing her arms defiantly. That is when Harrison received a couple of notifications one after another. The one from Garner he checked first, "So what the blonde from last week wasn't good enough you had to steal away another one and Yor?" it read. Harrison quickly responded, "What's this all about?" A couple of moments later he received a response, "People are talking about the girls you have in your car, way out of your league they say, really good job to have more of a target on your back." Harrison laughed uncomfortably to himself, "Haha right," he said aloud.
