Märchen Meines Lebens (FGO × Twisted Wonderland fanfic)

Ch48: Colleagues

AN: Sporadic updates.

Fuck... I have a Terrible headache that lasted for 3 days last week. It was very terrible for me since it made me lose my appetite and force myself to rest and sleep for most of the time of those 3 days... Then it makes me lose the contents of my stomach.

Terrible and those shitty headache pills are doing their shitty job.

The good news after those 3 days was that I managed to re-watch the assassination classroom and it made me cry again. However, it was terrible since my mind wouldn't stop on those ideas that would appear in my head so suddenly.

Why did I also re-read Re Zero: Pride If? And the side story Once Upon a Lugunica?  Now I have a terrible idea added to my summary fanfic about a Trash of the Count Family and Re Zero Crossover.

Sigh... I was looking forward to when it became the Pomefiore Chapter in this fanfic but that would be still so very far away.

Arc 3: The Start of Troublesome Year

Chapter 18: Colleagues

   
Andersen remained cool and indifferent as he stared at the blazing woods. Andersen lifted an eyebrow as he looked at the headmaster opposite to him; his blue eyes were keenly focused on Crowley.

"The employee contract that we have is between a headmaster of a learning institution and a professor of this college. I don't recall being your personal problem solver, Gothic Bird Clown."

If the headmaster was intimidated by Andersen's gaze, Andersen couldn't tell because of the mask. He merely saw the headmaster pause for a moment and smile carelessly.

"The Ignihyde student who witnessed the culprits behind the burning woods claimed that one of the perpetrators is a heartslabyul student and the other is a little flaming gray monster cat, which was recognized by the witness Ignihyde student because of the entrance ceremony. Currently, Grim-kun is staying in your residence just like the 4 humans under your care."

"Just because they are staying under the care of my property, that doesn't mean that they are my obligation. We only have a landlord-renter relationship."

"Aren't they also your errand helpers? One of those errand helpers has Grim as his pet."

Andersen pursed the corners of his mouth and glared at the headmaster.

"I remember from those student files that you provided to me that you have a student capable of solving this problem."

When the headmaster stared silently at him, Andersen felt agitated.

"Don't you have your Scarabia Housewarden capable of solving this problem for you, Headmaster?"

Andersen reflected silently as he looked out at the flaming trees.

Even if the headmaster had sent him here, there was nothing in his stories that might help him solve the burning forests problem. And what he learned from the other servants is unrelated to any water-related mage craft.

He learned about alchemy and potion-making from Paracelsus, as well as the other servants back in Chaldea. He has his reasons for learning.

Even his explanation was petty. Like seeking revenge on a privileged vampire-like fairy princess by belittling his height and appearing haughty. Unfortunately, the outcomes were not as satisfactory as he had anticipated due to an overprotective mother of the spoiled princess.

Other things he learned from Chaldean servants included some illusion tactics from Merlin during the Babylonian singularity and from Rider, who claimed to be the Hare of Inaba. Her true identity is Georges Méliès. During the early days of cinema, she is the person credited with spearheading numerous technological and narrative breakthroughs.
