Chapter 16 | Hotpot

Re: Anima POV

I am Re: Anima.

Reverse Series Number 079 Codename: Anima of the Tokyo Homunculus Factory Lab 03, sister to Gear Series Number 123 Codename: Quil of the Tokyo Homunculus Factory Lab 02.

I once served Hein Portley, a Neutral faction magus that belonged to the Department of Curses, Clock Tower, as a mana tank not too dissimilar with practices of certain participants from previous HGWs.

After several complications, I've become a resident of Katsura Apartments.

I'm currently eating a comically small hotpot.

With these 3...

7 p.m.

Room 101

It's boiling!

"You can place the shiitake mushrooms now." Freud orders.

"Can we get the meatballs cooked first? I'm starving!" Hachijou says.

"Why am I the one handling the ingredients? Also, why am I having dinner with you three? I mean, I'm the stranger here, right? Shouldn't you guys be wary of me?" Rider asks.

"Nonsense! You work with us now, so you will be eating the same food that we cooked! However! You buy your own breakfast and lunch! Otherwise, what are your allowance for? You eat soft rice after all." Freud states.

"F-Floyd-san, there's a time and place for everything!"

You shouldn't be dissing Rider like that! He's a Servant! A SERVANT! He can behead you with a flick of his finger, especially when you're not even close to his power level!

Rider scratches his nape.

"I was born the son of a farmer, not a samurai. I know what it's like to eat mixed-grain porridge instead of rice, which was apparently healthier than what we have nowadays? But still! I've been there, Floyd. I'm not the kind of person who would admonish the hard work of our fellow people. That's against my beliefs and what I fight for." Rider scowls.

"... Is that so? It appears there is much to be learned for me. I apologize for my unpleasantries." Freud bows.

"As long as you understand. The fault is on me too. I didn't make myself clear back then." Rider says.

Foo, that was close!

"Meatballs? Doko?" Hachijou demands.

"Xiao Bai Cai and the rest of the vegetables are not enough to give the soup flavor. Mushrooms first." Freud demands.

"Meatballs!" Hachijou argues.

"Mushrooms!" Freud argues.

"Ok, noodles first." Rider says.

Hell ensues.

*Murmur* *Murmur* Murmur*

They are distracted! It's time to use this!

The dollish girl pulls out what appears to be a small monocle.

("This is the Servant Appraisal Lens. It's used by the Einzbern's to read the Saint Graph of Avenger during the 3rd Heaven's Feel. You can at least hold on to this, right doll? Make yourself useful for once!")

("Yes, master.")

("To use it, just point the lens to the Servant you wished to appraise. It took some time to get information, but once finished, it's uploaded to your memory bank/brain. Also, it only works when the target's visible. Maximum uses are 3. Don't forget that!")
