I look at my servant, no, my partner in front of me. Did she just say, Ruler Servant? What? How? Why? She waited patiently after asking if I was her Master.

Vergil: Ah… Yes, Ruler. I'm your Master.

I said it while showing her the back of my right hand. My command seals looked just like Devil May Cry 5 logo. If I am to describe with color form the series, one command seal at the blue, one at the red and last one at the middle body.

Ruler: With this, our seal is set. I'll be working together with you, young man.

Vergil: By the way, my king. Why would Ruler servant be summoned? As far as I know, the Grail War is not the Great Grail War.

Ruler: Oho… you know this one's identity?

Vergil: Yes, my king. You are Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, Oda Nobunaga.

Yup! The servant that answered my summon is Demon King Nobunaga. Not Archer one, mind you. This Nobunaga could be said to be in possession of a Saint Graph that is the aggregation of every possible Nobunaga from the past, present, and future.

Ruler: Very well. Make sure to engrave the Demon King of Sixth Heaven, Nobunaga's lifestyle in your soul! And you, young man. Tell me your name.

Vergil: Vergil, my king. Vergil Frost. By the way, my king, shall we leave for our base? It won't be good if others hear our conversation.

Ruler: Very well, Vergil! Lead the way and I will allow you to call me Demon King! And to answer your answer, I also don't know. But, what I know is that we would need to make sure that thing inside the grail never comes out. And also, to make sure to prevent servants from killing non-magus. I don't hate humans. Even if I am the enemy of the gods, Buddha, and all living beings, it's not as if I hate them.

Vergil: I see. Our job is to prevent The Beast from manifesting, right?

Ruler: I see that you catch on quick, young man. But, as the master of Ruler class servant, you won't be able to get your wish. Is that okay with you?

Vergil: To be honest? I'm relieved. This is not the Grail War that I had in my mind. So, I don't mind. I will take it as a trial Grail War before the one I was preparing to fight. And Ruler, the war does not start yet. There're six months before it starts.

Ruler: I see. You are a courageous fellow, aren't you? Thinking of the fight that others stake their lives as a trial one before your war.

Vergil: No, Ruler. I'm scared. Really scared that I might die in this war. But, I would rather die than give up hope. I want to be stronger. I want more power. So, Ruler. You know how to use katana, right? Train me.

At that point, I didn't realize that Yamato's l.u.s.t for power is corrupting me.

Ruler: Very well, young fellow. My training will make you feel like you want to die.

Vergil: I don't mind. I'll count on you.

Ruler: By the way, I was meaning to ask you. What catalyst did you use to summon me?

I answered with as quiet as I could.

Vergil: Nothing.

Ruler: What did you say? Speak loudly.

Vergil: Nothing. I used nothing to summon you. I just make random summoning. I'm sorry!

I apologized to her with a perfect dogeza. After hanging around Raiga and his men, I had perfected the art of dogeza. The good news is that we're already at the hotel I'm currently staying in. And don't underestimate the art of dogeza. There's nothing it can't solve. And look! Even the Demon King looked trouble by it!

Ruler: Er… young man. Why are you apologizing? (And what's up with that perfect dogeza! In my lifetime, I can count with one hand that can do this perfect!)

Vergil: It is because it wasn't my intention to summon you. I was trying for Assassin class as I will be summoning that class in the next war.

She doesn't look trouble with it. And strangely, she laughs aloud.

Ruler: HAHAHAHA! That is what troubling you? Do you really think I would be angry about that kind of stuff? Fool! I'm not that petty.

Vergil: Of course, Ruler. By the way, there're still six months until the war. So, what will you do until then?

Ruler: Nothing. I will just make you suffer during the training.

Vergil: You said you are not petty!

Ruler: But I never said I will not make you suffer.

She said to me with a smug on her face. Okay! Fine! I would need to find a home if I am going to be trained by her. And make sure to set up a bounded field.

Vergil: By the way, Ruler.

Ruler: Hmm?

Vergil: Do you mind if I do a part-time job?

Ruler: Why?

Vergil: I've always wanted to do a part-time job.

I wasn't able to do any part-time jobs because my parents didn't allow me to. This time for sure!

Ruler: Do as you like. Just be on time for our training session.

Yes! I can finally do a part-time job! I want to work at a café like those anime characters!

Ruler: By the way, how do you know that I'm Demon King Nobunaga if you didn't use any catalyst?

Vergil: Ah… It's all thanks to Root.

Ruler: Root? Wait. That's mean you are already connected to Root?

Vergil: Yes? Connected to Root since birth. But only know how to make a connection 2 months ago. But there's also a problem with this war.

Ruler: What?

Vergil: There's also a person who's connected to Root since birth and use it since young. Also, she's participating in this Holy Grail War.

Ruler: That's a lot to take in. It seems that I was summoned because of these. Tell me, young man! What will you do? You are going to face a person who's connected to Root and can use its power easily.

Vergil: As I said before, I'm scared. But, a person named Riku Asakura aka Geed said this, "Sitting around doing nothing will get us nowhere!" So, I will do everything I can and even if I die, I could die without any regret which is "Why didn't I do that?" For that, I need power. I need strength.

Ruler: Young man, no, partner! Lives with me, and perishes with me. Until the distant end of the Nirvana, we shall continue desiring the karma of humans. For, I am Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, Hajun, Oda Nobunaga. Let's die without regret!

Vergil: Sorry, Ruler. But, I don't want to die yet.

Ruler: Don't mind the details.

Vergil: And you said that you're to be Avenger Class servant, right? Why are you a Ruler Class now?

Ruler: Well, I don't have any wish now. Japan is already unified. Although it wasn't me who did it, I'm satisfied. All in all, my wish is already fulfilled. If I got myself a grail, I might use it to maintain my body. Hey, why are you looking at me like that?

Vergil: Anyway, I will go house hunting tomorrow. Do you want to stay here or come with me?

Ruler: I'll come with you.

Vergil: Then please be in spiritual form. I haven't made your identity yet.

Ruler: Very well.

Tomorrow morning, I first, contact the Fujimura group to request them an identity for Ruler. Then, I went house hunting, again. I found a very good, neat, beautiful, and traditional house. After buying it, I went part-time job hunting. Luckily, I found it near my new home. A week later, identity for Ruler arrived. I spit my coffee and almost cursed out. Her name is Noah Frost. Half Japanese, half British. That's not important. What almost shocked me to death is that she's married to Vergil Frost. I'm somehow married! Lorelei is going to kill me. I can feel it. Ruler said that she doesn't mind. And so, we spent our days sleeping, eating, doing a part-time job, training, and sleeping again.

Like that, two months have passed. You see, if you avoid a person because you don't want to meet him or her, you would surely meet them. It's not like Tokyo is a small place. But against all odds, I met her at my part-time job. She has light blonde hair and light blue eyes and has fair features, with her buttoned-up green dress. She was stunned looking at me. After that, she came in front of me and said the word that would almost send me to jail.

???: I love you.

For fu*k's sake. My luck is almost as bad as EMIYA's.
