Reflection.
Chapter one: Situation
"Call it karma, do your best guys", he said as he disappeared into the myriad of worlds beyond the hallway he left us in.
"God damn it! That rainbow scented jackass", the kid shouts.
"Satoshi, do you know what this is about?" Shirou asks in his usual, naive way.
"Something stupid, I'm sure", the blonde groans, running a hand through his hair.
Before they can manage kill my brain cells with a stupid plan, I grab both of them and start dragging them down the hall until we find a room.
There, we find a message on the wall. Its statement is simple, if odd. “Emiya, for all your deeds, ill and fair alike, you shall serve the residents of this place.” Collars and bands form around our necks and wrists as Shirou reads the words aloud.
"As the servants have finally arrived, would the residents please report to the main hall for introduction and first stage judgement", a voice announces, seemingly from nowhere.
The plain white room fades, revealing a massive ivory hall with stairs near the back and an ornate red carpet with gold trimmings. It reminds me of the Einzbern castle somewhat.
Many steps come suddenly, echoing into the hall. A sea of faces, all women.
I can't recognize all of them, actually, even half is hard, but the look on the kid's face says he could name each one and their favorite food.
"Barring an insidious turn, like our mana powering a doomsday device, and excepting the jewelry we've been forced to wear, I'm not opposed to serving this group", Satoshi says, drawing a bright grin.
Admittedly, with people like Saber and Rin around I'll have an alright time of this. As for the rest, the kid is, if nothing else, a good judge of character. Plus, just seeing the nervous look on Shirou's face means this will be entertaining.
