Revelation

"What's going on here?" Hanabi looked at the serious expression of both Emiya and Rin

"Hanabi-san, why are you here?" Emiya asked in confusion

"Hehe, though I wasn't planning to tell you but with the greater grail war happening I might as well tell you"

Hanabi removed her sleaved hand and revealing a tattoo, three lines that was connected, both Emiya and Rin knew instantly what it was

"You're a master!" Rin was the first to react, slamming both her hand and jumping up in suprise

"Well yea I wanted to participate in this grail war because I thought it would be fun, anndd I wasn't wrong" Hanabi playfully smirked

"So who is your servant" Emiya asked and I smiled at him

"Xian, you can come out now" Suddenly, Xian ya who was in spirit form appeared right beside me, both instantly knew who she is, she was the one who Archer and Lancer fought together yet somehow lost

Saber felt an overwhelming presence coming from Xian ya and tensed her muscle, Archer also wore a serious expression and readied himself for combat if things goes south

"Calm down guys, we are friendly here, Emiya-san you don't want to fix more furniture in the house do you?" Hanabi pointed out, feeling Genuity from her both Archer and Saber let their guard down a little

Hanabi walked over and sat beside Emiya, still wearing a happy expression completely ignoring the serious expression of everyone, Xian ya also sat behind Hanabi silently

"So are you guys planning to build a team?" Hanabi rest her elbow on the table and placed her head on it

"Y-yeah I was planning to recruit Emiya-san" Rin admits

"Oh oh, then can I join" Hanabi raised her hand high, still suspicious about Hanabi, Rin hesitated a little, that hesitation didn't go unnoticed by Hanabi

"What is your intention" Archer who was quiet asked in a serious tone, Hanabi wryly smiled at him before answering

"Because its fun"

'Fun' that what Hanabi wanted the most, its like a second nature to her, her last life it was like a bland dull life. Go to school, go home, shower, play game, and sleep. That cycle repeated until her death

Here she found a loving parents, new friends she could explore, and magic she can fiddle with, and she found a goal in living here, to have fun, life is just a bland sheet of paper, why not add color to that. Chaos, destruction, love, it was all foreign to her yet she wanted more of it, she wanted attention she didn't receive in her last life

Looking at her smile Archer gave up trying to understand Hanabi, her eyes doesn't seem to lie, and gaining an ally in the greater grail way, especially someone at Xian ya capacity is worth it

Hanabi doesn't need to lie with Xian on her side, Archer felt he only felt 20% of Xian power, it felt like she was holding back, her speed exceeded the speed of the lancer and strength of most berserker but with the swordsmanship of a saber, she is a mixed bag of what class and who she is exactly

Her capability doesn't match any existing legend from any fairytale, Looking at her blindfold, he doesn't know if that blindfold truly mean she is blind but what he know is that she is past her prime as blindfold commonly means they have retired from the life of fighting. Imagining what her capability of her prime send shiver to anyone's bone that fought her

Archer nodded and turned to Rin. Rin who was smart instantly knew what Archer was thinking off and trusted his judgment

"Fine, you can join" Hanabi raised her hands in celebratory manner, and looked at Archer to thank him

"By the way Emiya-senpai, where is Sakura-san and Taiga-sensei" After the serious descussion passed, Emiya brewed some tea for all of us to enjoy

"Ah, they already gone home because they had things to do" Emiya remembered both Sakura and Taiga saying both their goodbyes

"Why do you ask?"

"Nothing just curious" Hanabi continued to drink her tea and paid attention to the news

~~

Xian who was exploring the old japenese household was quite peculiar about the structure design, though it was not best suited for her style, the calming atmosphere is one she enjoyed

After Hanabi let her go to explore the house, Xian complied thinking she has plans to do something but in actuality she was just wanted to feel cautious eyes from Archer looking at Xian. After exploring for a bit Xian stumbled upon a training room of sort, with wooden sword made out of bamboo is resting and a large open indoor area is present

She noticed another presence, Saber who was training in the middle, but after she stepped in Saber instantly noticed a new arrival and turned to see who it was

"Xian.. ya, what can I do for you" Saber who is still cautious of Xian and Hanabi, she doesn't know their true intention, thinking that its something deeper. The reason of 'Fun' felt a little off, especially something like greater grail war, where death is certainly will happened

"Nothing, I was but exploring the area, I quite enjoy the feel of this residence" Xian said her true thoughts

"Well, this house is indeed quite calming if night doesn't mean fighting in an intense battle"

"I could only imagine" Xian posture relaxed a little as she imagine such scenery but quickly back to her usual posture

"Saber, I would like to request a duel" Xian acquired one of the shelved wooden sword and pointed it at Saber
