Chapter 45: An Unreasonable Brother

Fuyuki, Japan,

Edelfelt Mansion,

"A lot seems to have happened since my excursion." Tamamo's tone was calm and elegant as she sipped tea from a cup, sitting on the floor with closed eyes, her tails waving about idly behind her.. Large and fluffy would be an apt description for them...

Her Master had obtained a new servant, formed an alliance, broken said alliance, started a massive war, brought down a star, made nuclear explosions, ruined major parts of an entire city and only god knew what was coming next..

To say the fox-eared Caster was a bit taken aback would be an understatement, "...But, master wouldn't be Master if he didn't do all that." As someone who'd seen several of his memories, Tamamo no Mae was well aware of his enigmatic and whimsical personality.... That too was strange though....

"One would expect a broody and depressive person.." It appeared as if the Caster was speaking to herself but, that wasn't the case. Sakura sat on a chair right in front of her, staring down with empty and mostly clueless eyes.... was she being used as some kind of therapeutic existence?

"..."

Still, the young girl found no words to really deny that, she herself was a very good example of what a cruel upbringing could do to a person..

"Or a person that jokes around and appears uncaring only as a facade to cover up his circumstances?" Tamamo's ear twitched, so did her lips, she doubted that was the case with Roman. Recalling a very distinct image of him being extremely genuine even in his eccentricity flashed through her mind...

"Rest assured, that isn't the case at all."

"Of course, not one day can go by without me hearing your savage remarks can it?"

Tamamo looked at Thea visibly displeased and the maid answered with an equally or perhaps more dissatisfied gaze of her own, the two hadn't made any progress when it came to getting along.

Why?

Well, Tamamo no Mae wished to do her duties and perform any menial tasks around the residence as well as take care of her Master. Only problem was, Thea had been doing those duties for nearly a decade now and she was NOT willing to have what defined her taken away from her even if it was only for a week or two.

It seemed as if the two would be at odds for quite some time to come.

"My~, boys don't like girls who fight a lot."

"Great, now she's here too..." Thea clicked her tongue, turning away her head mildly annoyed, it didn't matter if they were flings, why the hell were they staying? The homunculus maid didn't like this at all, it wasn't as if her Master hadn't taken an interest in the opposite gender before but it often just ended in days, it was selfish but she would rather not have a place where he was at peace be defiled by 'women'.

"..." Sakura only observed the three women in silence, mostly because this was a situation she had no real way of handling, weren't they just wasting time?

"You doon't have to like me you know?" Minamoto no Raikou had a very different outlook on the matter, these trivial quarrels didn't matter much to the berserker, "I wasn't here to join in..." She admitted, pushing the room's curtain's to the side to reveal a fog covered Shinto District in the distance, "They seem to be actually going to war now."

As someone from war ridden times, she too could only evaluate this 'war' as a sham.. They were quite literally refraining from extensive damages until spurred by her own Master... though, that wasn't necessarily a bad thing considering it meant less innocents would be needlessly involved.

Fuyuki, Japan,

Miyama Town (Razed),

Rain poured down on barren and cracked earth, wetting it and subsequently causing the smell of wet dirt to permeate the area. This was what remained of the luxurious and incredibly high end Miyama Town after Roman, claiming to be the Sixth True Magician, had brought down a star to destroy a servant that 'almost killed' him.

A scene that one would never encounter under normal circumstances.

But then, right in the next moment, a distortion in space appeared right where the enemy servant had appeared, slowly taking the shape of a spherical ripple that buzzed about, expanding to larger size and then immediately compressing, disappearing in an instant.

What was left behind, was a small, insignificant crater.

It did leave something else behind too though.

"Hm.... I see."

A heavily tanned girl with long pale hair, colourless pupils and a blade several times her own body held in one hand.... She wore a long black and crimson coat that hid most of her figure...

This girl, was someone any current Master would recognise. It was the very same girl that had attacked Roman Trambelio not moments after the second set of servants were summoned.

Okita Souji.. Alter, looked at the ground only momentarily, understanding that her task wasn't quite as simple as she'd initially judged it to be.... That only meant the Counter Guardian was now going to go all out right from the start and completely end her target...

He had been deemed an unnecessary and unfit anomaly best culled before more damage.

Okita leaned forward ever so slightly, staring in the direction of her target.... He was certainly one for going overboard wasn't he? Still, the Counter Guardian couldn't care less about something like that as she shot forth, leaving ripped ground in her wake.

Each time she changed directions, or her feet touched the ground, a supersonic boom would follow right after as a natural consequence of her insane agility.

"Something seems to be wrong with these people."

"You don't say."

"My lady, you should be more reserved."

"..."

"Your father would be disappointed otherwise.."

"I see."

The conversation between the two individuals making their way out of the Fuyuki Airport seemed to be a strange one.

The 'lady' in question was a well proportioned dark skinned girl with short dark hair dressed in a buttoned up shirt and blue jeans... She observed her surroundings with a hand on her hip, "My 'brother' wouldn't have something to do with this right?"

(A/N: Pic here.)

"I doubt someone of his... 'prowess' could induce something on this grand a scale." The older man accompanying spoke respectfully, wearing a neat black suit that quite clearly conveyed his standing. His eyes were closed and his short grey hair was combed back.

"Watch your tone, my sisters may have no problems with ridiculing their own blood but I do."

"Of course, Lady Asheara." The older man bowed with a hand over his chest, silently lamenting his lady's attitude. There was nothing wrong with treating people as they deserved.

Asheara Mystras, adopted daughter of McDonell Trambelio Elrod and Roman Trambelio's 'youngest' sister, her adoption was only recent and her views were rather different. She disliked their treatment of their own family greatly. Roman wasn't even that bad a person in her eyes..

The family butler accompanying quietly followed behind her, not daring to speak up unless addressed...

It appeared as if domineering attitudes were something common in the Trambelio Family.

"Well, I guess I get to meet my brother, finally." The girl slightly sighed, it was as if he'd been actively avoiding her for the last few months. Around the same time she was adopted by her current father, "I will agree that he's unreasonable though, not one decent conversation." Asheara slightly complained.

"I believe it's his way of coping."

"I believe you need to shut up before I make you regret it."

".....Understood."

By now, they were outside the airport and her butler was already holding an umbrella over Asheara. She thought it would be a simple trip but the sight that greeted her eyes upon exiting the building left her wide eyed, "What even is .... That's not natural is it?"

"It isn't, my lady."

Asheara Mystras rubbed her eyes in disbelief, "What kind of idiot magi fight in open?" She should have understood it the moment she noticed the mass hypnosis, some kind of large scale battle seemed to be ensuing here at the moment....

"What's my brother doing in all this though?"

"What ca-"

Asheara punched her butler in the face with twitching lips, annoyed with what the man was about to say despite her repeated warnings.

Share thoughts.

What's this? Roman has reasonable family members? How's he gonna react to his new sister?

btw, Roman has a total of 11 sisters.
