Turns out I didn't really need much help with finding Sakura after all.
I found her sitting by the hotel's doors with her head buried in her knees, being harassed by one of the employees... or at least that's what I think it was since it was the logical conclusion to what I saw.
A guy in a valet uniform was reaching for my sister's shoulder.
So, I took the most reasonable course of action available to me.
"Special move: Magical Punch!"
I lunged at him and kicked ...

Shirou Emiya sat on a wooden bunch, holding a cone of ice cream as he curiously took in his new surroundings.
It was a stereotypical park, with neatly cut grass, a tree here and there, a fountain in the middle and happy or depressed people scattered throughout the place, either enjoying themselves with friends or family or lamenting their life decisions.
His 'friend' had taken him for quite the wild ride but Shirou couldn't exactly say no when he was asked for help.
Still......

I cut off the stereotypical receptionist looking brown haired dude like mf Baldwin, "You don't need to go through the trouble."
If you recall, the Clock Tower placed a number of sanctions on the Matou family for causing a crimson explosion in a residential district and demanded a part of the family crest as punishment for breaking the rules.
Of course they would never have the guts to try this with Zouken but I'm a kid, kids are gullibl...

I have come to the realisation that running your mouth can bite you in the ass at the most unexpected of times, in ways you wouldn't expect it to.
This is not to say it has happened to me, but I've seen it happen too many times for me to write it off.

So, you know how both the English and French go on about there's actual distance between the two countries?
Yeah, no, there isn't.
It cost barely 40 bucks per person for a seat on the Eurostar trains that took us all the way from Paris to London in less than 3 hours. That's a total of 200 bucks give or take for all of us.
The ride was unexpectedly uneventful after Tiamat punched someone in the face at the start.

The sky was covered up by grey clouds, the air was humid and smelled like wet earth... This wasn't something I was used to, Fuyuki had mostly clear skies even in the winter.
But enough of that, I wasn't really affected by the change in temperature or scenery and was pressed for time as it was.
So I won't waste time complaining, instead I'll do what I came here and be back at the airport in time for my flight to London.

As many have probably come to learn since my short yet oh so long time in this world, I am, by the admittance of many, a reasonable and benevolent individual who can charm all with the natural charisma I usually slap them in the face with.
A little bundle of joy that brings smiles to all, if you would.
But as you might understand, I can not behave in this way at all times, there will always be exceptions.

Sometimes, in a world like the one I've found myself in, all a real man needs to stay calm about the prospect of being curb stomped by an Assassin that earned his name because he killed all witnesses or a Lancer that may or may not be the Roman version of God King Zeus, is a bubble bath.
Yes, you heard me right.

Raiga was a cool old dude, with a strange obsession with motorbikes.

The Sun was about to set, and darkness had started rolling into the city when, like an atypical emo protagonist, I exited the Emiya residence in a dark frog suit that perfectly masked my age and identity.
Tiamat was in a mini-pocket sewn into the suit's belly so I'd have no problems if a fight broke out.

Apparently magi inheritance is just as annoying and lengthy an ordeal as it is for the normies if there's no clear will left behind.
It's been a few days since my family's 'unfortunate' passing and I still haven't had any contact from the Clock Tower, which is basically the head of magi government, or the local authorities about what was supposed to happen next.
A few neighbours stopped by to express their condolences, some interested in 'adopting' me and my bereaved sister out of...

Nicholas stood at the helm of the Golden Hind, hands on the railings as he looked down at the Francis Drake's crew... and his own.
After Blackbeard 'regrettably' lost his life, his crew, namely Anne Bonny and Mary Read, joined him to avenge their captain. But he had more members too including Cu, Mash, Elisabeth, Carmilla and Altera.
There was also one other person but nobody gave a shit about her so it didn't matter.

I sat on a bench in the park overlooking the Mion river that divides Fuyuki in half.
Or to be exact, it separates the cultured individuals of society like myself from the rabble. Please forget that most of my so-called wealth is just inheritance and I have zero feats to my name.
On that note, I found out why magi are so rich.

No, it's not particularly dangerous or annoying. I've been feeling quite nice and free since I pulled Tiamat out.
It may have been suicidal and made me a target for the powers that be but it puts me at complete ease.
