The White Demon of Chaldea (Error 404 in Fate/Grand Order)

Chapter 5: Something Even Bigger

Oh hell nah

==Chapter Start==

404 looked at Mordred's progress, writing down on a little notepad he had.

404: "How are your arms?"

Mordred: "Dead, sensei."

404: "Good, good. Feel any stronger?"

Mordred: "Uh, I think? I can't feel them after all that."

404: "I see... Well, we should rest for today."

404 shot another beam of mana into her arms, again, enough for them to feel, but not enough for them to get rid of the sore feeling in her arms. Mordred got up, 404 helping her, though, she nearly tripped. He made sure to catch her, Mordred giggling a little.

Mordred: "Guess my legs are starting to feel the burn too!"

404 rolled his eyes as Mordred continued to laugh a little. She stood by herself, no longer using 404 as a crutch before stretching her arms, hissing at the sore feeling. She still wasn't used to it yet, but she saw it as her progress. It was nice, really. He was brutal as hell on her, but she took that as him being serious about teaching her to be the strongest she can get.

This, of course, irritated 404. But at least she seemed dedicated, so he at least respected that to a degree. As 404 exited, Mordred walked alongside him. It was starting to turn into a routine now. Train Mordred, teach her manners, then do whatever he needed to do. While simple, it was...ok for him.

Mordred: "So, sensei, watcha gonna do later?"

404: "Research, why?"

Mordred: "I wanna hang out with you!"

404: "And why should I bother?"

Mordred: "Come on, sensei! I want to hang out with you! You need to make more friends!"

404: "Oh?"

Mordred: "Yeah! I know hanging out with me is awesome enough, but doesn't it get lonely?"

404: "Not particularly."

Mordred: "So how about we hang out? I can introduce you to a friend of mine."

404: "I have better things to attend to."

Mordred: "Come on, sensei! You need to talk to others! Everybody wants to know you, so why not?"

404: "It's bothersome."

Mordred: "If you can handle me, you can handle the others. Now come on, Sensei, I'm introducing you to others."

She grabbed his hand, dragging him around as 404 rolled his eyes. He only let her drag him around. It was less bothersome to do so than to have her bug him until he does to simply shut her trap. And so, they started to go to the cafeteria.

When they entered, eyes were on them. Of course, this was for the fact that both were an odd pair. 404, being the serious god he is, and Mordred, the carefree pupil of said god. But it seemed...fitting. 404 seemed to care for her and helped reign her in when she was being troublesome. And again, Mordred seemed happier around him. Most thought of it for the fact that she now had some father figure in her life that she respected.

Again, Artoria was pleased with this. As long as she was happy, she would be...fine for now.

But as they got their lunch, Mordred being somewhat still salty over the fact she still can't eat her junk food, they started to go somewhere different from their usual spot. They made their way to a table, and there seemed to be a woman there. A blonde-haired one.
