Kishinami Hakuno, one of the female Masters in SE.RA.PH, is busy looking out through the window of her private room. It was a rest day after many Elimination Battles. She's got a few more days before her own selection begins.

She tries to think of what her life could've been like if she was born as a real human. Yes. She isn't a human. More of like a complex accumulation of data that became aware and took the form of that of a human.

Without knowing, something falls from her face...

And at the same time, her Servant struts in the room, her emperor aura swallowing the atmosphere. On her hands, she held some Yakisoba and Curry bread, some food she bought from the Commissary using her Master's money.

"Hey, Praetor! Are you ready for lunch? I've bought some bread!" she yells as she puts it on her makeshift throne, beside her Master who was looking through the virtual window. The sight of her see-through dress was hard to miss and she usually uses it to tease her easily-flustered, innocent Master. But when she was about to do just that, she stops dead in her tracks, noticing her Master's current state...

"H-Hey! Praetor! What happened?!" she pulled Hakuno to her feet. She tries to talk to her but it seems nothing was being processed in her Master's mind right now. The red-clad Servant knew that for she could see that her Master's eyes were blank along with her tears.

The Servant put her hand on her Praetor's chin, trying to make her look at her, then she wiped her tears away. But...to no avail. Hakuno looked like she was caught in a Reality Marble inside herself.

"So my emperor voice isn't enough to pull you from your sorrow, Praetor?" the Servant blushes "W-Well...let me try something more attention-worthy..." she stands on her tip-toes and...

Kisses her Master.

It took a bit but Hakuno's blank eyes suddenly gained color once again. And she realized what the Emperor of Rome was doing to her.

And although she knows that Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus will murder her if she goes too far, she wanted to thank her anyway.

She lifted her Servant and made her sit on her lap. They both pulled away and Nero was as red as her dress.

"P-P-P-Praetor...I..."

No, on second thought, maybe Nero would not murder her. She was too busy being embarrassed. Hakuno smiles at her which made the Emperor look redder than she already is. Hakuno laughs and hugs her Servant tighter, her face rests in between her breasts, feeling the warmth of her love...and also her cheetah-paced heartbeat.

"Nero?"

"Uh...y-y-yes? Wh-What is it, Praetor?"

"Thanks."

"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything special, Master."

"But you did."

"What do you...?"

"You aided me as far as I am right now. And even comforted me whenever something important comes up. And you trusted me when I don't trust myself. You gave light to my world. I didn't know how to survive in an environment such as this. Then, I found out that I was just some random pieces of data pieced together and I am worthless-AGH!!" she stopped her rambling when Nero pushed her down, both of them falling off the throne, Nero atop her Master.

"Don't ever say that, Praetor!!!!"

Hakuno flinched at the sternness and loudness of Nero's voice.

"Everyone has a purpose of their existence. Nothing exists without having a purpose. And I believe...your purpose is to be by my side...the reason why you existed in the first place is that even SE.RA.PH willed you to exist. And Fate allowed me to meet you! I...would always come to your aid, Praetor. So..." she pauses as she rests her hands on either side of her Master's head, her green, vibrant eyes gleamed with determination "DON'T EVER SAY YOU ARE WORTHLESS! The next time you say that, I'm going to leave you to die in Robin Hood's poison!"

Oi, oi, that's overkill...

Hakuno smiles and pulls Nero down and kissed her. The Red Saber just blushes even more...

After many kisses, Nero was now a blushing mess...and she had fallen asleep after Hakuno had played with her hair and hummed a tune for her.

Letting herself drift off as well, Hakuno realized...

That's right...I hadn't told her I love her yet...

"Nero...I know you can't hear me 'cause you're asleep but...thanks for the remembrance...those kisses we shared today, I'll forever treasure them. Maybe next time we can go even further than just kissing...I'm ready for you if you are. I love you, Saber." she smiles as she plays with Nero's ahoge. Then, her eyes close as well, signalling that she was asleep.

And there, on the floor, Nero blushes, her green eyes showing happiness for she realized that everything was not unrequited anymore. Both her and her Master shared the same feelings; both of them loved each other and...both of them wanted each other. And she couldn't help but smile.

"I love you, too, Master..."
