As the Master, you essentially had the job of making sure that every Servant under your command was alright. That said, working for Chaldea multiplied the difficulty of said task.

This also meant additional hours and barely any breaks when troublesome individuals caused trouble. It had already taken a toll on your body, judging how your first Servant / best friend saw you almost falling asleep during dinner.

"Senpai, are you really sure this is ok?"

"I am alright, don't worry Mashu! Heh..." You weren't.

"But it's not every day that Hyde causes trouble, so it's really fine." Hoping that your little smile convinced the Shielder, you stood up from your seat and carried the now empty food tray back.

To both of your obliviousness, someone had watched your discussion in the background and already made plans to see who could serve their Master better.

Well, more than 'one' at least.

...

Waking up from your gratefully given slumber, you stretched in bed as today's plan didn't include any big singularities.

'Great...but I still have to keep watch on the other- huh? Who did...?' To your confusion, a plate containing a fried egg, bacon, toast and some fruits was neatly placed next to you; silverware included.

'Strange...normally the kitchen doesn't serve breakfast this early...' Looking around your room in hopes of spotting someone else, you ended up fruitless and simply accepted the gesture of kindness.

As you ate, your eyes missed the single black-cloaked figure that sneaked out of your room and lightly smirked in victory.

...

As the day went on, many more oddities occured around you which left you perplexed. For one, after Shakesphere had accidently set fire to his coat (you didn't know how), it had already been put out after you arrived to where you heard his panicked screams.

Then later on, Kiyohime would try cornering you into becoming her husband (once again). Before you needed to run away though, she had already dissapeared before anything bad happened...

However, the biggest (and most odd) case was when you heard Hyde trying to stab a certain small writer. As you ran towards the source of trouble with Mash in tow, all of you went blank as you only spotted the frozen Jekyll in front of an unconcious Hans.

"What...happened? Why did Hyde...suddenly retreat?"

You wish you had the answer to that question-

*Thud*

"OW!"

"Master, are you alright!?"

"Uhm, yeah- oh, hello Personas!" Staring down at your fallen figure was none other than one of the many Hassans, mainly the one sporting a long ponytail which gently swayed as she pulled you up.

"I deeply apologize for such careless behavior!" Thinking that she destroyed her chances in serving her master, Assassin bowed while falling to her knees.

"I-It's fine, don't worry. That was on me anyways..." Seeing her stand up, you relaxed while a certain question crossed your mind.

"Say...where were you and the others the whole day?"

"We...were busy dealing with important tasks around our Master's field." Hearing this confused for a minute...

At least until realization kicked in.

"You were the ones...solving the issues today, weren't you?"

They didn't wait for long before the many concious minds of Personas suddenly appeared in the hallway, nodding together once at their Master's question.

Except a small sigh, you didn't know how to answer to this. Well, at least you solved this situation once they admitted on their current challange.

As long as they wouldn't go overboard or injure any other Servants, you'd let them have their rivalry until it dissipated. I mean, at least you would be able to properly sleep this way.
