Daily Lives Of My Servants And I

*Diarmuid Ua Duibhne ; "Ability"*

Voiced by: Hikaru Midorikawa

Diarmuid was sullen right now. It wasn't supposed to be this way. He sulked as he sat in the middle of the quiet cafeteria, his gaze on the bowl of soup on front of him but his mind remembering the events before...

When I was summoned...

"Lancer Class Servant. Diarmuid Ua Duibhne. Nice to meet you, Master."

The face of my new Master who was previously so pumped up suddenly faltered

"R-right. Glad to meet you, too, Diarmiud!" she said that but I could see she was hesitant at looking at me...

During the days when I see her somewhere here in Chaldea...

"Ah, Master. Can I do something for you?"

"D-Diarmuid! N-no thanks! I'm alright."

She refused all the times I offer for help. It's like...she was purposely avoiding me. This is like a repeat of my lifetime and my time in the Fourth Holy Grail War.... Did I...manage to...do it even if I do not want to...?

Just like...

"Just like with Fionn-sama's wife and Lord Kayneth's...?"

"Whacha talking about, Diarmuid?"

"GAHHH!!"

Due to his shock when someone's faces appeared in front of him, he suddenly fell backwards, the chair falling on the floor. He groaned in pain "S-sorry...did I shock you that much, Diarmuid?" the one who suddenly appeared before him asked.

He opened his eyes to see a hand being held out to him. He took it as he was helped up straight. When his eyes finally landed on the one who offered him help, he found that it was the one he was questioning in the first place without knowing

"Master Gudako..."

"Mhm. Sorry if I threw off your concentration, Lancer-san of the Knights of Fianna but you seemed so faraway in your thoughts I wanted to snap you out of it." giggled Gudako as she sat across from him, a bowl of noodles in hand as she slurps it happily, sighing in the warm feel of the food soothing her body

Seeing this as a chance, Diarmuid gambled everything and just went to ask "Master!" "Hm? Nani?"

"I...."

"You?"

"Am I troubling you? If I am, I shall redo my conduct and look at myself again. I cannot bring myself to go through a repeat of what happened twice already.... Please do tell me if I am being a burden!" the Lancer suddenly monologued which made Gudako raised an eyebrow

"What do you mean?"

"Eh?"

He was stunned. Gudako didn't know what he meant? Does that mean...she...?

"So you mean...you haven't been..." his hand subconsciously went to that "beauty mark" on his cheek. This made Gudako realize what the Lancer meant. It made her laugh "Seriously, you were worried about me?" she laughed again "M-master! Please do not take this as a laughing matter!"

"Okay, okay. Tell me what's bothering you, then. And can you tell me the story behind that ability of yours?" Gudako said, taking another slurp of her noodles and then drinking the soup. Diarmuid nodded "A fairy gave this to me..." the Lancer then starts telling her his story while, of course, she did this as she listened to Diarmiud telling his story.

"Ohh I see. So you thought I was affected by your "ability" and you were thinking that hard about it..." Gudako nodded in understanding as she finished the bowl of noodles while getting up and getting another bowlful of noodles. Afterwards, she sat back in front of the Lancer

"You were worried that what happened in your lifetime and also the previous war you participated in will repeat..." Gudako looked at him for confirmation and he nodded.

"Psshh. Of course I wasn't worried about your aforementioned ability, Diar. Servants here, the Chaldea Staff and also myself wouldn't be affected by your beauty mark, man. Of course we wouldn't," she gave a small smile at Diarmuid

"Master..."

"'Cause we're all comrades here! That's why you don't have to worry, Diarmiud." grinning again, Gudako ate more of her noodles

"...Of course. Thank you for the reassurance, Master."

"Mhm! And besides," their gazes shifted to the door of the cafeteria that was opened a crack and they saw various people...more specifically, female Servants who [have fallen in love] followed Master, led by Kiyohime

"I won't get away with falling with your ability because we'll both die." Gudako shivered but gave a small smile anyways

Diarmuid sweatdropped but nodded, silently agreeing to his Master.

Nevertheless, Diarmuid was glad for a bit of reassurance....
