SECOND WISH ♔ ( AMBER )

[Saber's face immediately appears on the amber surface and, from behind her, there are glimpses of Chime's recently opened shop.]

Good morning. To those who were not aware, the spirit known as Chime has just opened her shop and brought wares that are not available to us in the tree. [She is inwardly pleased to know that means this creature too can leave the tree somehow, but she will try to communicate with her later.] However, these items are not free and we cannot afford them alone. Their stock seems to be very limited as well. The answer is obvious, many of us surely have concluded that the solution is reuniting with close allies to purchase the desired ware with them, but I will suggest something else.

[She has been speaking about this matter with some people already, but she has had no time to propose an assembly outdoors to discuss the organization overall they could have to improve their lives and call a vote. She pauses to make her proposal.]

There are basic items such as food or the string of yarn, among others, that are of a general interest. Why do not we, the potential purchasers, donate them in benefit of all of us? We should assign a space as a storeroom to keep all what belongs the community and be sure that they are given a fair use.

[If this is accepted, she will bring up the delegated tasks for those who are specialized in different fields to optimize their lifestyles. Because raw ingredients could be better utilized in hands of good cooks than inexpert ones.]

If you do not agree, it is fine. I only wanted to address that, for the time being, we are expected to live together and a cohesive group stands stronger than one that lives with cordial divisions.

A store? [ Illya can't help but be genuinely curious. That's good to know that there's some sort of special store that sells those types of items. ]

I don't mind sharing as long as people don't fight over the food...

Yes, a market with stands. I was on my way to the food altar when I noticed it was open. [ Saber and food otp. ]

Disputing over essential supplies is something I wish to avoid.

[ even if this means the sacrifice of giving up a bigger portion of food, she has other priorities right now. ]

Mm! [ The young girl nods with some confidence, agreeing wholeheartedly. ]

But Saber-san, even if there's food over there, wouldn't it go bad if we don't have a fridge? [ Illya's not an eavesdropper, so she hasn't heard any of the other conversations. That would be rude. ] And probably a place to protect it from the bad guys!

If you need someone to protect it from bad people-- or anything that tries to attack-- though, I'm sure me and Ruby can handle it!

...

[She will never be so used to Illyasviel to be so gentle and thoughtful. Give her a moment.]

I see. I was not sure if you were capable of casting an ice spell, Illyasviel.

[She nods.]

Until we make a storeroom to use [which could take days to clean and organize it and food would definitely suffer in that case.] if other people agree with this initiate, we can divide the portions of the meal that corresponds to each house depending of the number of its inhabitants. [unless of course, cooks are selected to handle the food and they would have the supplies.] And they would need ice to keep it from spoiling.

[ ... ]

I think if I use the Caster class card, I can do it! [ Because Caster is amazing, clearly. And it seems like magic is more commonplace here than it was in her world, so she has no need to hide it as much.

Even if it's still embarrassing. ] Though we should make sure we have someone else who can do it too, since Caster's magic relies on prana.

[ Not that she has any problems with doing it, but. . . Two heads are better than one, aren't they? ]

Caster...

[She mutters, suppressing a cringe. Neither of her experiences with those Servants have been pleasant.] These Cards do not affect your personality, do they?

[She nods. All magic relies on prana, but she does not correct Illya's assumptions.]

Yes. I have other volunteer, it would not be only on your shoulders.

[ Illya just shakes her head at Saber's question. ] They don't, so you don't have to worry about that.

[ And well, Illya doesn't know any better! Maybe magic from different worlds works differently? She never fully understood these things. ]

Ruby would keep me in check if anything like that happened!

As long you are in no danger to mimic any of the Casters I met, then you can aid us.

[ She has started to like Illya, because she is using her stern scolding tone. ]

Thank you.

D- D- Don't worry! It won't happen, I promise! [ She's trying to be reassuring even though her slightly panicky state will probably not help matters by much. ]

I wouldn't want to make onii-chan worry anyway, so I'm sure that it won't happen. I mean, it's never happened before... [ Calm down, Illya, she tells herself before sighing. ] Um. I'll try my best.

[ She seems always tense. She wonders if she is not frighten her. Shirou wants her to stay and while, if she were the Berserker's Master she knew, she would have probably objected, this girl was no magus or Master and she was Shirou's sister.

Then- ]

If Shirou worries, it is also my concern. [ She points out. ] Thank you for volunteering.

[ She shakes her head several times in response. ]

It's no problem at all, Saber-san! I'm just glad to help!

[ She gives her a faint smile. ]

Will you donate your stone for the greater good, then?

I don't mind, Saber-san! I'll meet with you whenever you're ready to buy what we need, is that okay?

I am waiting at the fourth floor, meet me now and take Shirou's stone with you.

[ She's confident her Master will support her decisions. ]

...

[ Um. Saber, about that-- ]

Can't I just take onii-chan with me? [ That way she isn't accused of stealing a second time. It's better to ask permission first than get scolded later! ]

[ It is not stealing. It is the lawful loan decreed by the person who rules the household. Shirou is always almost always last. ]

...I suppose it would not hurt if he judges if the ingredients are fresh before we purchase them.

[ He'll cook them, so his input may be of importance. ]

[ ... Poor, poor Emiya Shirou. ]

Mmhm! And since onii-chan's a good chef, he should know if it's good or not.

[ She is an obedient Servant when is necessary. ]

He is. [ She smiles warmly. ] Shirou's food is the best I have eaten.

You must really like onii-chan's food a lot. [ Illya returns the warm smile with one of her own, agreeing with her completely. ]

Yes, indeed. Shirou has a natural talent for housechores. [ She is not letting Archer insult his cooking skills so easily! ] His parameters for this personal Skill must be at least A.

Uhuh, onii-chan is really amazing! Sometimes Sella onee-chan gets angry at him because he ends up doing all the work and leaves her without anything to do.

[ She does not know who Sella is. ]

Hm. I see. He is certainly committed to look after the house. [ This has not changed, even if his primary objective is to become an ally of justice. ] It gladdens me to hear that my Master remains as dutiful in your dimension, Illyasviel.

Mm, he really is. [ There's a determined nod of head as she bobs it up and down like a bobble head toy. ]

I guess onii-chan is onii-chan no matter which world he's in!

[But you are different, she thinks and compares her briefly to the more malicious girl who introduced herself as the first Master Rin and Shirou fought together.

She changes the topic.]

Tell Shirou to make haste. There is only one strip of bacon in stock.
