True Magician

Chapter 93

Emiya residence.

It's been two days since I've been back. As it turned out, it had only been a week here, and there hadn't been much change. Everything was still roughly the same as when I left: all the same residents, all the same daily activities, and all the same story arc. And while that was the case, I preferred to give all my time to rest.

Goetia returned to my body, but occasionally left it to spend leisure time with Runeas and Rea-chan, chatting mostly about the Underworld and its history. The servants belonging to the legend of King Arthur organized sit-downs amongst themselves. They were even occasionally joined by Morgan, but she was mostly silent as Merlin explained to me.

Emiya, Medusa, and Artoria went on dates and such. Heracles and Lancelot were sparring amongst themselves, Enkidu and Gilgamesh were traveling, and the Assassins were doing my bidding on surveillance. Alaya, on the other hand, like Fou, was busy doing nothing. Since she decided to fully play the role of a schoolgirl and it's vacation, her routine consisted of 'eat', 'play', and 'sleep'.

Among something special, only a couple of letters arrived at Emiya's residence and were addressed to me personally.

The sender of the first was Yasaka, whom I had, frankly, completely forgotten about. She invited me for a cup of tea, which could be considered a light date. Apparently, she had already solved internal issues and wanted to discuss them with me.

The second letter was sent by Michael. In it he informs me that soon representatives of Heaven will come to my house and asks me to accommodate them. Michael argued that in this way it would be convenient to keep in touch with the Heavens, and since I 'agreed' sometimes to give advice to the Heavenly faction, I had nothing to do but to give my tacit consent. Apparently, this was what Zelretch was talking about when he mentioned increasing the number of rooms.

After eating dinner together, the residents went about their business, and only Rea-chan and I remained in the house. Tia decided to visit Tiamat, taking Ophis with her. As she said, to organize a family reunion. Well, I guess she missed her. Let her have her fun.

After a bit of thought, I increased the size of the residence due to the decent amount of occupants. Mostly, it affected the kitchen, the bathroom, now turned into a full-fledged bath, and the rest of the common areas. Even if the Servants didn't need all that, they were no strangers to the comforts and pleasures of everyday life.

As the fourth cup of coffee was pouring down my throat, the doorbell suddenly rang.

- "Hmm? Who's that at this hour?" I raised an eyebrow and gave a short nod to Rea-chan. Seeing my gesture, she made a short bow and went to open the door.

She returned a few seconds later, and right behind her were Sona and Tsubaki, who walked inside and sat down across from me. Sona looked serious. More serious than usual. Apparently, the case she had come with required special attention.

- "What is it, Sona? What's with the late visits to the house of a grown, handsome and charming man like me? What will your parents think when they find out about this?" I began cheerfully.

- "For the sake of my honor and dignity, which you definitely do not have, I'll ignore your obvious provocation and get to the point," she said businesslike and adjusted her glasses, "The day after tomorrow there will be a reception at Lord Lucifer's castle. It will be attended by the heirs of the clans and representatives of the Scandinavian faction."

- "Let me guess, Sirzechs wants me there, right?" I asked, to which Sona nodded in agreement, "And when did you become the liaison between me and the demons? That summit thing and this reception thing."
