True Magician

Chapter 64

Emiya's residence.

Upon returning home, I immediately settled on Tia's lap, burying my face in her stomach and wrapping my arms around her waist. At my actions, she hummed cheerfully and began stroking my hair

Now the training arch had begun, where nothing is essentially happening. Which means I can relax and think. More specifically, I can decide who to replace Emiya with, and then send that Servant to the Underworld for supervision

I don't have any suitable replacements from my current lineup of Servants. Grandpa, Gil, and Hercules are tough, but they will have to be discarded for obvious reasons.

We'll have to call in a new one. But who exactly? The most obvious options would be Chiron, Scatach, Leonid, and Zhuge Liang in the person of Weaver.

The Queen of the Land of Shadows and the King of Sparta are almost perfect options when it comes to fighting prowess and the rigors of training. On the other hand, Chiron and Zhuge Liang would be able to develop tactical and strategic thinking at a higher level than the first two

Right now, there were only me, Enkidu, Archer, and Tia in the hall. At the same time, Artoria, Lancelot, and Mordred occupied the training area underground that I had created at their request. Merlin and Gil had left to check something out, as Lancer had told me. Hercules and Medusa settled in the backyard, clearly wanting to reminisce about the past. Grandpa is still in the Underworld watching the Rias group. Morgana made Arthur and Le Fay introduce her to Vali's group, and Katerea left with them. And Alaia has been out of sight on principle for who knows how long.

Regarding the Beasts. Fou was occupying Enkidu's head, but Goetia found something interesting in the Underworld and decided to see what it was. This is the first time he's left my body for such a long period of time, as he's definitely been gone for a couple days

I sighed tiredly and left Tia's lap, pulling her behind me.

I guess it's okay to visit Yasaka. After all, she and I have unfinished business.

- You're in charge, Shiro. - I said as I was leaving.

- Will you be long? What if someone comes looking for you? - Emiya raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms.

- Who? Who do I need-" I was about to object when suddenly someone started tugging at my clothes.

-Why is Rizevim acting so strange?

I slowly turned around and lowered my gaze, where I saw Ophis looking at me with an impenetrable gaze. At the same time, Tia smiled happily and hugged her, to which Ouroboros didn't react in any way.

- What do you mean? - I asked, not understanding what she was getting at.

Ophis didn't answer me but grabbed my hand. My vision blurred for a moment, and when it returned to normal, me, her, and Tia found ourselves in a large and luxurious room. And no sooner had I examined the details than my hearing was pierced by a scream of anger and bewilderment.

- Why?! What's wrong with me?! Why do I dream about that bastard's face every night?!

I froze and slowly turned towards the source, where I saw a certain person screaming into a pillow on a huge bed. She was wearing a nightgown and her hair was in disarray. Rize-chan was wriggling around with her face buried in the pillow, screaming and muttering, giving the impression of some schoolgirl in puberty.

At the same time, I finally managed to get a glimpse of the room's decoration. And I would not say that its occupant was a stickler for order and cleanliness. Silk curtains covered the windows tightly, so that the room was almost entirely in darkness, except for a single lamp by the bed. Clothes were scattered all over the place, and dust covered some parts of the interior as if no one had cleaned it for days on end. And-
