Chapter 18: Aftermath
January 24, Graphen residents
It was morning time and we see Makoto and Saber collapsed on the couch. Saber had bandages all over her awhile Makoto had some over his head. Saber herself was just not in the best condition. Her wounds were slowly healing due to her servant body but the way how Koshi had handled her this would take awhile. Even if Berserker used his healing ability she still wouldn't be in the best condition. She sheepishly turned her head to her master who was limp. Last night gave her a whole new look to him. His actions and his words gave her a lot to think about.
First and for most his words. It wasn't just the way he spoke but the way how he addressed things. Even though he had just met Koshi there was anger that came out of him like it was there for years. The anger wasn't that of someone who just heard about terrible things in the world and grew to hate it. No it was that of experience. Something must have happened to Makoto in order for him to think and act that way. Saber could only speculate about what could have happened to him. In the end however, it's best to hold off on asking him about his past until he is comfortable with telling her.
Secondly, his actions. The brutality he showed was not to be trifled with. The deadly look he gave Koshi, which made the killer back up which also shook her as well. The way he relentlessly attack Koshi. How he cut off his fingers instead of his hand instead. And finally the coup de grâce of it all, the way he killed him. Makoto could have finished him of simply but instead he went overboard, instead however he made blood rain after ripping that sword upwards.
Makoto was something else. He may have been recently thrown into this dangerous "world" that involved magic, but he wasn't a slow learner. Saber saw potential in him, dangerous potential, and lots of it. Only time would tell on what would happen to him as this war progressed.
The silence of the room was suddenly filled in by the sound of knocking at the door. Makoto jolted up and his head quickly turned to the door.
Makoto: Shit... Saber go upstairs.
Saber: Master there is no need to worry it's just Yuko. I sense Berserker out there.
Makoto: Yeah and she will kill me if she knows what happened last night.
Saber: You sure?
Makoto: Actually I don't know? Look just go upstairs ok.
Saber: Alright-
Saber got up but then stumbled and almost fell. Makoto grabbed her and pulled her in. However he when he pulled her back she bumped into him and then both of them fell onto the floor. The door opened and Yuko entered into the house.
Yuko: What the hell is going on-
She saw the two on the floor. She blink as she saw Saber on top of Makoto.
Yuko: ...This is so cliché. Also what the hell happened to you?
Makoto: Long story... I'll tell you in a bit.
Yuko stayed quiet for a moment before finally sighing.
Yuko: Berserker get in here.
Berserker: With that voice its something bad.
Yuko: Well kind of. Just get in here ok!
Berserker walked into the room. He looked at the three. Yuko was helping up Makoto and Saber up off the floor. He focused quickly went to the injured Saber.
Berserker: Your hurt.
Saber: I'm fine. There is no need to waste your magical energy on me.
Makoto: You already used it twice so far to make sure I didn't die.
Berserker: I understand.
Yuko: Still your injured-
Saber: I'll be fine... I just don't Berserker using up a lot his mana to heal me.
Makoto: Or me. It's happened twice now.
Both Yuko and Berserker stayed quiet. Theses two were stubborn.
Yuko: In any case I'll make some food for you two since your not in the condition to do so. Berserker... do whatever.
Berserker: I'll make some tea.
Both of them went into the kitchen. Makoto reached over the remote and grabbed it. Pressing the on button the channel that turned on was the news.
Makoto: Hmm... I wonder how long it will be before we see what we did?
Saber: Master can you not be so calm about this?
Makoto: Sorry...
Meanwhile In the kitchen Yuko was walking with Berserker.
Yuko: Those two are being a real hassle.
Berserker: You can say that again. Like how many times have I had to save Makoto's butt?
Yuko: Two times. And now they are being stubborn on not wanting to be healed. Though this stops you from draining your energy.
Yuko cracked open some eggs and spilled out the yolk onto the frying pan. Berserker fixed up the tea and went to the two giving it to them before heading back over to his master.
Berserker: Your not wrong. I can't just keep spamming my... Noble Phantasm.
Yuko; Why did you say it like that?
Berserker: Let me be straightforward with you, I'm actually new to this grail war stuff.
Yuko: Wait what?
Berserker: Yeah.
Yuko: So your telling me you recently became a servant.
Berserker: Yes.
Yuko: ...Wow...
Berserker: Anyway you should focus on cooking. Don't want to burn it.
Yuko: Oh right.
Yuko saw that Berserker wanted to change the conversation. She was about to ask some other things but he himself saw this coming.
Meanwhile
Felon: ...Where the fuck is Koshi?!
Member: We don't know? Shouldn't he have returned by know?
Felon; Yeah I know...
Rider: Hey, Master!
Felon: Yeah Rider?!
Rider: You may want to come see this!
Felon slowly got up from a desk he was sitting at walked over to the room rider was. A few members were gathered in the room watching a TV.
Felon: What is it?
Member: Boss you may want to see what's on the news.
Felon: News?
Felon looked over at the TV. He was confused on what he was seeing until the reporter described what it was.
Reporter: Just of last night fighting could be heard near the park from witness, and just of this morning a young couple found the body of a middle aged man. We do not know the exact identity of this person but we do know that he is connected to the Cult of the Snake Eyes.
The camera showed the body covered up. Next to the body were Koshi's weapons. Felon grabbed the remote and turned off the news. Everyone in the room looked at him. Deeply inhaling, he pulled back back his hair and put on a calm face.
Koshi: What?
Everyone expected a freak out but instead only a simple confused "what" exited his lips.
Rider: Master?
Felon: It's ok... it's ok... this is to be expected. We are gonna lose members in this war.
Koshi started to pace. It wasn't one of worry but one of deep in though.
Member: Man I can't believe we lost him.
Member 2: As boss said it is expected to happen. I won't be surprised if one of use died tomorrow.
Rider: You guys don't care about life and death don't you?
Member: Depends on us. All of us here have done terrible things as you know. We are destined to die sooner or later. Well that's what I've learned. Like I'm a fucking rapist for Christ sake.
Member 2: No need to remind us.
Rider: That's disgusting but I applaud you for being so straight about.
The member sitting beside Rider laughed.
Member: Who said I was straight captain?
Rider: Oh. Hah! Straightforward honestly!
Felon: You see why I got theses guys?
Rider: Totally!
Felon: Anyway you guys are dismissed or whatnot. I don't care, I'm gonna go prepare some stuff for tomorrow.
Member: Yes boss.
The members left the room all except Rider.
Rider: So master what's the plans for tomorrow?
Felon: Tomorrow we are gonna go do a raid. I have some big plans in the future and we need all the weapons we can get Rider?
Rider: Oh? Big Plans you say? Now you caught my interests.
Felon: Come with me and I'll explain everything.
The master and servant left the room. A smile grew on Felon's face.
Felon: Soon, we will take this city and show them what hell is like. No longer will we be shackled by restrictions. Are you listing god?
(Welp just decided just to do this. Hope you enjoyed it and also hope you are having a good day. Peace)
