True Magician

Chapter 104

Kuoh.

- "Master," Medusa began, looking at the object in her hand, "Do we really need to be here?"

- "In these beautiful days of calm, I thought I hadn't been giving you both the time of day when things were happening to the rest of you. What kind of Master would I be if I left things as they were and didn't show concern for my Servants, eh?" I waved it off, then pointed to the side, "Besides, Heracles likes everything."

At the moment I, Medusa and Heracles were in the Kuoh Oceanarium, as it turned out, there was one here. There was no one in it now, as enough money would calmly solve this issue. Berserker wore his usual Servant outfit, while Rider wore her casual one, consisting of a purple sweater, glasses that blocked the power of her eyes, and jeans.

While a skeptical Medusa and I were engaged in conversation, Heracles was looking at the artificial bottom of the oceanarium and the various fish. Nostalgia surfaced in his eyes, because the Argonauts spent almost all their time in the sea, where he himself entered, and the smile on his face only confirmed my thoughts. And that's one of the reasons I brought them here.

Two days had passed since the reception at Lucifer's castle. They passed quietly and measuredly, which was perfect for me, as I could just lie on the couch and sip coffee while enjoying Tia's company.

It had somehow slipped my mind that Rea-chan was also at the reception with me, and I came back for her a couple hours after I'd left. Rizevim's appearance simply knocked that out of my head.

Although Rea-chan herself calmly accepted my apology, offering to forget the incident, I still wanted to give her some sort of compensation. She thought about it for a bit and asked me to organize a small training camp for her with her ancestor, which I calmly agreed to. Leviathan didn't speak out against it either, and so everything went as it should.

As for the reception events I avoided, there didn't seem to be any excesses. Rias and Sona handled it without much trouble, with the help of a copy of Mjolnir, of course. I don't know the details, but considering what I saw during my game with the heirs, there was no point in worrying.

The rewards I promised are still in effect. And since Sona is the liaison, all the cases went through her as well. At this point, almost everyone except Sairaorg, Rias, and Sona herself had gotten them.

Seelvaira asked for knowledge about mechs, and got a couple ideas from anime I watched. Zephyrdor wanted to know about possible enhancements to his aura, to which he got advice to watch some human works, i.e. the same anime and manga. Riser, on the other hand, just wanted me to go on a date with Ravel when she was ready, and now I just had to wait for an invitation letter from her. Diadora, on the other hand, hasn't gotten any, of course.

I have a couple guesses as to what the remaining three will want, especially Sairaorg. But until they say so themselves, I'll just wait and see what comes of it. For now, we can get back to what's happening now.

- "And this has nothing to do with you being bored, I suppose?"

- "Do I look like that kind of person?" I asked, pointing a finger at myself and making an incredulous face.

- "Had anyone ever told you otherwise?" She asked, tilting her head to the side as if she really thought that, and I just shrugged, "And why this place? I understand your reasoning about Berserker, but about me..."

- "Yes, I'm well aware that the sight of the oceanarium makes you uncomfortable. And no, you didn't do anything wrong."

- "Then why?" She asked incomprehensively, to which I sighed and turned my head to the glass, behind which I could see the artificial seabed.
