True Magician

Chapter 52

Emiya residence.

- "Wonderful weather, isn't it, Sage Fou?"

- "Fou."

- "The coffee's not bad either. How do you like your croissant?"

- "Fou, kyu."

- "I agree with you completely, Mr. Fou."

Fou and I occupied a round table set with hors d'oeuvres and servings, reminiscent of an English tea party. Fou sat upright on the table and devoured the pastries with his ears twirling. I, on the other hand, was enjoying the clear and sunny weather while sipping my favorite drink. Behind me, Grandpa stood silently looking at me as if into nowhere. To summarize, I was culturally and calmly spending my vacation. Although...

- "I've had enough!" shouted Archer and, taking off his protective helmet, threw it aside, "Why should we hump if you can just use the 1st magic?!"

- "Faker is right!" Gilgamesh supported him and did the same as Emiya, "Let the commoners do manual labor! I am the king! And I shouldn't waste my precious time on such nonsense!"

That is correct. At this moment, the construction of the Emiya residence was in full swing not far from the table. I took their strength and dressed them up in construction uniforms with vests and helmets. They had already finished the foundations and set up the frame of the building. Heracles and Enkidu carried logs from the forest. Artoria, Mordred and Medusa were working them, while Merlin and Lancelot were taking them to Emiya and Gilgamesh, who were either joining them or nailing something together.

- "Put on your helmets and get to work quickly!" I shouted back, "Who's to blame for the house being destroyed, hmm?! Be men and take responsibility! Women don't complain, unlike you!"

- "But we didn't destroy it!" shouted Archer and slammed on the frame, then pointed sideways a little to the side of me, "And why are they idling anyway?"

Where was he pointing? A little to the side of us was another table occupied by a certain Fairy Queen along with Arthur and Le Fey. And a maid, as it turned out her name was Elaine, was serving them.

- "Oh? You were right husband, Queen Shirou is indeed worthy of her king." Morgan said with a smile on her face as she sipped her tea aristocratically, and then looked at Emiya with a sneering look, "I only invited you to my mansion. No one forced you all to follow me, did they?"

- "Uh... Your Majesty, I wouldn't mind helping them." Arthur mentioned it casually, to which Morgan remained silent and just looked at Le Fei.

- "It's alright, brother," said the younger of the Pendragons, "You shouldn't take responsibility for other people's mistakes."

- "But..."

- "Your sister is a smart woman, Arthur. Let them sort it out for themselves. I'm not making them work themselves to death, am I?" I grinned, to which Arthur sighed tiredly but accepted, and Le Fay looked at me and blushed. Then, my gaze went to Emiya and Gilgamesh, "And anyway, even Artoria works silently, and you whine. However, exclusively for both of you, I have a solution."

- "A solution?" Gilgamesh crossed his arms.

- "Something tells me I'll regret it, but I'll ask, what's the solution?" Archer raised an eyebrow.

- "Well..."

-0-

Kuoh Academy.

- "Look, who's that Romani-sensei going with?" whispered some student, to another.

- "Who are they?" The other one asked intriguingly.

- "Who are those chicks?! Why are they near him!!!" joined in.
