Rider's respect for Lancer went up slightly as she saw him step forward and defend Archer against Satoshi's aggression. Only slightly, though, since his reasoning still seemed rather too based in his bizarre sense of honour, not to mention the fact that he seemed to be treating Hakuno as a possession.
Then, Archer replied, effectively confirming her viewpoint and, to her relief, making it clear he had no desire to start anything. Whilst Satoshi was a bit of an ass, he didn't seem to have any ill-intentions, and she had no desire to get into a meaningless fight with someone who had no apparent desire to harm her or Kiyoshi.
Rider spoke once more, expressing her desire to leave. Then, Forest spoke up.
"Well, I know the City pretty well, plus I have a GPS on my phone and I have a very wicked car. It can sit possibly four other people, one up front and three thin people in the back", she said, pulling out an old-fashioned but nevertheless rather nice phone from her pocket.
But, before Rider could reply, Forest spoke once more.
"But first . . .", she said, before suddenly raising her voice and continuing, the sudden change in attitude making Rider jump ever-so-slightly.
"Next person that starts something right here and right now before everyone's settled back in my strong hold will get bit by me. So unless you want everyone else watching you get off and then have to change your knickers after I take a nip, I'd suggest playing nice. Understood?"
Honestly, Rider wasn't sure exactly how "I'll give you a mind-blowing orgasm" was meant to be a deterrent. Particularly given that she was fairly certain she could outrun the vampire if she so desired. The thought of being chased down, pinned to the ground and then brought to orgasm as she writhed helplessly excited her.
Then, Rin spoke up, adding her support to the vampire's "threat", perhaps somewhat unadvisedly.
"If you need any help with that, just ask. I'm tired of this stuff happening too, and I haven't even been here that long."
You really know how to tempt a girl, don't you Rin...?
Rider was finding herself more and more aroused at the thought of not one but two beautiful women molesting her helpless body. Only her desire not to irritate her new allies and the fact that she needed to get back to Kiyoshi and get him somewhere safer caused her to hold back.
Then, Satoshi spoke up.
"I'm over two thousand years old, it's not hypocrisy, I just have more information than any of you. When Emiya dies he will become a counter guardian, that is should his attitude remain unchanged from what it is now. By all means Archer if you are prepared to watch women and children die, to have another billion lives on your conscience go ahead and try to kill him. I on the other hand abhor such childish behavior so I will stop you. I save everyone regardless because everyone deserves a chance. No matter what you think of that other Emiya he is still another possible you, and rider, I might have not defended him if you hadn't been such a violent attacker, civility and fairness are the cornerstones of justice and kindness, I wouldn't be a superhero if I lacked empathy. I have seen far worse of Emiya and I know you yourself killed hundreds. The reasons are unimportant, you are still responsible for the lives you took, carry that burden with dignity instead of victimized outrage, you owe the dead that much."
Rider sighed once more. Whilst Satoshi's explanation made some sense, as far as she was aware Counter Guardians lacked self-awareness or independent will and could be duplicated at will, which meant that adding yet another version of Shirou into the mix would not make any significant difference. And, further, his assertion that he saved "everyone" did not sit well with his apparent eagerness to kill Archer. Further, his justification for protecting that Shirou and his apparent willingness to equate intentional mass-murder with acts that she (and, by extension, her master) had performed whilst insane grated with her somewhat. Plus, he seemed to have a very high opinion of himself and his own beliefs, and was seemingly unable to comprehend that others might feel differently.
Overall, Rider was not impressed with what she had seen so far. He seemed to have taken the worst of Shirou's idealism and combined it with the overly-judgemental and lawful nature that she knew his mother possessed from her legend. Still, he didn't seem like a bad person, just a bit of an idiot with a high opinion of himself.
When he drew his sword once more, Rider tensed slightly, worried that he might start a fight. But, instead, he turned and sliced in half some shadow monstrosity that had evidentially been intending to attack him.
"Angra manyu, the world's evil is here, it begins again all because your hostility conjured it up, imma go kill it, you guys have fun"
Wonderful....
Rider knew all-too-well the effect that Angra Mainyu could have on a person and, especially, on a servant. Her master had been contaminated by him, and even to this day she was still connected to him. He had been the source of many of her most powerful spells, although she had over time learnt to perform much of her her magic without calling on his dark power.
Still, Satoshi's attitude was rather grating. Rider was tempted to challenge him, even more so because of the intense orgasm Forest had promised her if she did.
No, I can't.
Whilst being bitten by Forest with Rin's assistance would seemingly be a rather enjoyable experience, as would the proceeding chase, it would be somewhat humiliating to orgasm like that in public, even if changing her knickers was as simple as just turning to spiritual form and back, at least if she had the foresight to change to her battle outfit first. But, more importantly, it would sour their relationship to ignore such an obvious expression of annoyance from both her and Rin, even if their method of expressing it had failed to take into account Rider's rather kinky nature.
And, right now, as always, getting her rocks off came a long way below ensuring Sakura's happiness in Rider's priority list. Perhaps it was something they could explore further later, when Kiyoshi was safely in bed.
Rider laughed, before finally speaking up, looking in Forest's direction with a naughty grin on her face.
"As good as being chased, pinned down and brought to orgasm by two beautiful women sounds, I'm going to have to pass on your generous offer. The time for kinky stuff like that is later, when Kiyoshi is safely asleep in your house.
If you're still interested, though, I'm definitely game. I can show you my idea of a good punishment after", Rider said, teasingly.
Then, addressing more serious matters, Rider responded to the earlier statement by Forest, and Rin's subsequent response.
"So, you can drive us to the apartments then? Lead the way~"
"Rin, whilst I would like to get to the apartment as soon as possible, we do need to stop off at the hotel first so I can get Kiyoshi, or I need to find another way there. I don't want to leave him alone for longer than absolutely necessary, and the hotel isn't far. Also, can we all fit in Forest's car? Including Kiyoshi, there's six of us, plus Forest. And Archer is hardly what I would call 'thin'...."
Rider pondered the situation. Unfortunately she had not been carrying her phone when she had been sucked into this dimension. However, she knew Kiyoshi had his, and she knew it possessed GPS capability, although she wasn't entirely sure if the system was backwards-compatible enough for his phone to work with the older signals likely in use here. She also knew that she could undoubtedly collect Kiyoshi and reach the apartment on foot before Forest could get there by car, although the thought of a ride in Forest's apparently-rather-nice car was tempting.
"Well, if someone can guide me, I can walk it. I can outrun your car, Forest, and I'm faster than anyone else here except possibly Lancer. Unfortunately I don't have my phone on me, but Kiyoshi does, so if you wait for me to get him or someone comes with me then I can enter the co-ordinates and carry him there. It's up to you, though...."
