True Magician

Chapter 45

Emiya residence.

The next day.

The most ordinary lunch at the Emiya Residence. All of its inhabitants were peacefully enjoying their meals after yesterday's tiring events. Though it didn't really bother the culprit herself, given her satisfied face, which was glowing with joy while I was spoon-feeding her, so to speak.

- "Honestly, mutt, I never thought it was possible. You do realize she's a Beast, right?" Gilgamesh began, pointing his fork in our direction, "However, all Magicians are insane, eh?"

- "Oh? You're really calling that bundle of joy a Beast?" I rolled my eyes and poked a finger at Tia's cheek, which made her mewl cutely, "Look at her, aside from her history with Gaia's urges, do you even think she's dangerous? Besides, you think I don't know, about you?"

- "What exactly, mongrel?" He raised an eyebrow.

- "Like you don't go to her and Enkidu to complain about your life, or rather about Archer and his magic, huh?"

- "Only because Enkidu asks me to." crossing his arms, he said.

- "What do you think about that, Emiya?"

- "Well, I didn't know that the King of Heroes himself is a child who likes to complain to his parents about his life. And I wouldn't believe it if it weren't for the excuses that came out of his golden mouth just now," Archer smirked, to which Gilgamesh gritted his teeth and looked at him intently, "I suggest taking him to an amusement park, or a daycare center. Take him out, so to speak."

Hearing Emiya's words, Artoria and Medusa giggled, throwing amused glances at the King of Heroes, making him naturally boil. Even Enkidu, who covered his mouth with his palm, let out a laugh.

- "Do you want to die, Faker?" Gilgamesh growled, and golden portals appeared behind his back with staffs pointing towards Archer. In response, Emiya's smirk grew even bigger, of course.

- "No fighting at the table, Gil-kun," I said, pulling a fatherly smile on my face as if Gilgamesh were a child to me, and then turned toward Lancer, "Enkidu, dear, calm your friend down and explain to him the rules of behavior at mealtime."

- "Yes, 'father'." chuckled Enkidu. Blue flashes of energy traveled through his body, and the next moment Gilgamesh was chained hand and foot, and the portals behind the latter's back disappeared, sucking in the staffs.

At this sight Archer covered his mouth with his hand and his shoulders began to twitch. Merlin, Artoria, Medusa, and Tia found the situation extremely amusing. The Assassins didn't react in any way, and Heracles was just chewing on Emiya's cooking, as were Fou and Goetia.

- "What are you doing, Enkidu?! I must punish these buffoons! Let me go!" Gilgamesh cried out indignantly.

- "You must obey your elders, Gil," Enkidu said with a cheerful smile on his face and, holding a chain in his hand, dragged the bound King of Heroes upstairs while covering his mouth with another chain, "Come, I'll give you a lesson in manners."

After giving them a glance, I stuffed a piece of steak prepared by Emiya into my mouth.

It was good. As usual, though.

Two hours later.

After lunch, I decided to relax a bit and collapsed on the couch, or rather, Tia's lap, and then closed my eyes and, after dispersing the Servants, I reflected.

After a break in the world of Harry Potter, it was time to get back to the business at hand.

Kokabiel's Arc.
