We're not really Doctors. (Shirou x Harem) Arknights x Fate

Chapter 37 - 1

=== MOSTIMA ===

Mostima opened her eyes when her alarm played. It was a soft melodic tune that leaned more on relaxing than waking someone up.

The Sankta slowly rolled over and silenced the music coming from the phone. She had awoken some time ago because of her body's tendency. When operating as a messenger and ambassador for Laterano, one had to travel around a lot. Mostima was used to sleeping out in all sorts of places while on duty. She and Fiammetta had slept out in the rocky outcrops of the wilderness. They had slept inside motor trains when traveling between landships and cities. Sometimes, they crashed in transit terminals while waiting for the next motorcoach out of the small town or village they were passing through.

Rhodes Island was a nice break for her and Fiammetta. A nice comfy bed, showers, hot meals at the dining hall.

This was her version of paradise.

Mostima decided she could roll over in bed for a few minutes longer. They were in no rush. Their superiors ordered her and Fiammetta to stay at Rhodes Island until they could meet the Fuyuki Clinic doctors. For now, they had no other missions. No messages to carry. No travelling.

She rolled over and blue eyes met orange.

"..."

"..."

"Exu. You're awake early."

"Mmhmm. I've been awake since a while ago."

Screw that. There goes her relaxation out the window.

"You know, it's rude to watch someone sleep."

"You've been awake 20 minutes ago."

"That's not the point."

Mostima and Fiammetta arrived on Rhodes Island four days ago. They boarded the ship after news reached them that the Fuyuki Clinic doctors left for the pharmaceutical organization. They managed to catch them once they returned from Chernobog, but another urgent priority stopped the meeting. Mostima and Fiammetta updated Laterano of the progress and events that took place since. Today, they finally received a message from Doctor Rin that the Fuyuki Doctors were ready to meet them.

Exusiai...well she stuck to Mostima like a rock for that entire duration. Texas had to return to Lungmen on her own on the second day.

"We're getting further from Lungmen everyday. Your return trip is going to get longer." It was a weak excuse Mostima brought up to make Exusiai leave.

Nope. The red-haired Sankta who left Laterano to hunt down Mostima wasn't going anywhere. Not after she finally caught her target.

"It's fine. I told boss I'd come back later."

There goes that attempt out the window.

"Fiammetta, you awake?"

"She's your problem." The other occupant in the room answered from the third bed.

Her second option just jumped out the same window.

"I'm not leaving until I get answers." Exusiai kept a serious expression while rising from her bed.

Mostima sighed. She really tried her best to put some distance between her and Exusiai for the girl's sake. The answers she was searching for would bring more danger to her.

"How about we go grab some breakfast?" Mostima sidestepped.

Exusiai was about to argue when her stomach growled. Mostima smiled when the younger Sankta looked away. Exusiai was the first at the shower, followed by Mostima and Fiammetta. After each one had their turn, they headed for the cafeteria.
