Other Dimension's Knight

Chapter 5 - V: Enemies Near

" So... now that I understand a bit more about the Holy Grail War, let's have breakfast " said Shirou, getting up and heading towards the kitchen.

But Shirou noticed that both Saber and Alexander were wearing normal clothes instead of their battle attire. Alexander was wearing a black suit that was making his white hair pop out even more and Saber had a blue skirt and a white blouse.

" By the way, where do these clothes come from? " asked Shirou.

" Oh, Alexander created clothes for me since I can't astralize and made a pair for himself. " said Saber.

" Created? " asked Shirou.

" Well, I've used a spell called Gradation Air that I've modified a bit and with enough prana, I can pretty much create anything. The downside is that it requires prana as long as the object exists but since I have ample Mana reserves I can create a lot of objects and keep them created. " answered Alexander.

After a while, Shirou brought breakfast for both of his servants.

" Sorry, since I'm not a proper master, I can't give you any Mana. " said Shirou, putting an exquisite looking meal in front of his two servants.

" It's no problem, I can minimize the Mana cost by sleeping " said Saber.

" I don't need any Mana since I have a physical body. " said Alexander.

Saber stopped what she was doing and looked at Alexander with wide-opened eyes.

" You... How?? " said Saber.

" Is it really impressive? I mean you don't look like ghosts to me? " said Shirou.

" It should be impossible, every servant is dead and therefore what you see is a representation of their bodies before their death using prana. " said Saber

" So a servant with a physical body that can astralize is impossible " she added.

" Every servant is dead huh? " said Alexander looking at Arturia who flinched at his remark.

" Well, let's just say I'm something of an exception " said Alexander.

" Also, since I have something resembling a dragon core, I can sustain Arturia if you want Shirou. " added Alexander.

" What??? How?? " shouted Saber, suddenly standing up and looking at Alexander once again.

" Why are you getting agitated like this? It should be a good deal right? If you can use your full potential you might be able to win the war right? " said Alexander.

" That is true however I cannot understand how you are supposed to give me Mana when you're not my master. " said Arturia, sitting down once again.

" Oh... You're sure that you don't know? " said Alexander with a mischievous smile.

Saber went silent for a few seconds before her face started to get red. She stood up and nearly summoned her sword for a second.

" YOU, you scoundrel I am never going to do this with you! " shouted Arturia at Alexander.

" You're getting quite rowdy aren't you Saber, It was merely a suggestion. " said Alexander while smiling a bit.

Saber didn't say anything but her glare never left Alexander after this. Shirou wondered how Alexander managed to make Saber react like this when she usually looked composed and even dignified. Also, he had no idea what they were talking about, as a beginner magus, he was lacking in knowledge.

" Although it is possible this way, I was thinking about another method. I must say, Saber here is perverted " said Alexander with a grin.

Saber didn't answer to his provocation, but she looked like she was about to try and kill Alexander right here and now. Not that she would succeed anyway.

" Alright give me your hand Saber " said Alexander now looking serious.

Saber narrowed her eyes a few seconds before complying to his demand, she stuck her hand out towards Alexander, who grabbed it and suddenly Saber felt Mana flowing through her from Alexander's hand.

" How can you even give Mana like this? " asked Saber who felt at full power and ready to use Excalibur many times in a row.

" Just a specialization of mine. No need to worry " said Alexander, releasing her hand.

" You have too many secrets Alexander. " said Saber with a sigh.

The phone started to ring, and Shirou went out of the room to answer it. Meanwhile, Saber and Alexander started to eat and couldn't help but feel like their master had a talent in making food. Saber, while having manners, actually had the appetite of a lion, and Alexander didn't look surprised by it, he even gave her some of his food, which earned him a questioning look from Arturia, but she took the food nonetheless.

" Uhm, I need to bring food to Fuji-Nee to school right now so I'll be back later. " said Shirou as he wrapped a lunch box and put on his shoes.

" Shirou, I hope that you're not thinking that we're leaving you alone as our master " said Saber as she finished her food.

" I agree, what if a servant or a master attacks you on your way to school " said Alexander.

" But no- " started Shirou.

" No Buts Shirou, at least one of us should go with you to ensure your safety. " said Saber.

" Since I'm supposed to be Rin's servant, I should astralize, only keen servants would be able to detect me " said Alexander.

Shirou could only sigh in defeat as his servants didn't even let him say anything.

Shirou and Saber could be seen walking in the streets of New Fuyuki while Alexander was right behind them in his astralized form.

" Saber.... aren't Masters supposed to avoid attracting attention? Something like last night won't happen now. " said Shirou.

" But there is always a possibility, however small. We can't allow you to walk alone without being safe. " answered Saber.

" Indeed. If you think the light of the sun is enough to stop those magus, you're mistaken Shirou. " said Alexander.

A voice behind him without actually seeing anyone put Shirou off slightly, but he got used to it in the way.

They arrived at the high-school where Shirou was supposed to give the lunch box.

" Saber, if anyone tries to talk to you, just shake your head without replying. It'd be best if you act like you don't know Japanese. " said Shirou to Saber.

" Stop right here. " said Alexander.

Both Saber and Shirou stopped, looking confused.

" What is happening Alexander, an enemy? " said Saber getting ready for action.

" Yes, but what I can see is that a master is planning to use students as meals for his or her servant. Although small, I'm sure you sensed it as well Saber? " said Alexander.

" Yes but this amount doesn't seem dangerous. " said Saber.

" It's because they didn't start the process yet, but they plan on s.u.c.k.i.n.g the students dry of their Mana. I suppose the master who is employing this strategy isn't talented enough and plans to use this formation to replenish his servant's Mana. A useful but cruel tactic. " said Alexander.

" We have to stop him from using the students. I can't understand. Aren't magus supposed to not bring innocents in their conflicts. " asked Shirou looking worried.

" There's a huge difference between what they should do and what they do trust me. The correct fact is ' You can whatever you want as long as the public isn't aware of it ' " said Alexander.

" No way..... We have to stop this! " said Shirou.

" Calm down Shirou, there is no use to panicking when we don't even have a lead of who is doing this " said Saber.

" Yes, I suppose " said Shirou gritting his teeth.

" I shall visit the school to search the source of the formation, Saber, go with Shirou to protect him please. " said Alexander.

" No problem, be careful Alexander " said Saber.

Alexander had already rushed towards the school. He scanned the whole building with his mysterious eyes. He found the presence of a master in the school but no servant. Although he found residential traces of a servant, he or she wasn't there right now. The master was a teacher named Kuzuki. Considering his breathing and attitude, he was certainly an assassin of some sort. Also, he had very little Mana in his body. While a master that had very little Mana in his body would certainly have to do these sort of formations, something felt off. A servant would never let his or her master alone except if he or she had a way to get him out of dangerous situations in an instant, so Caster. But a Caster wouldn't do such a lousy job at setting up a formation. Instead, the one at the temple nearby was surely the work of a caster. So that meant that there were two masters here and that the teacher named Kuzuki was the master of Caster since this was the only class that would be able to teleport his or her master the moment they sensed danger.

He quickly deactivated the formation and headed towards Saber and Shirou to tell them the situation.
