"What's wrong, Momo?"
Astolfo asked curiously, having noticed Mo Shuying had stopped moving after taking a bite of his crepe.
"Oh, nothing, just feeling a little out of sorts."
Mo Shuying smiled and didn't dwell on it.
The two of them sat there on a park bench, eating, showing absolutely no intention of searching for an enemy.
Astolfo couldn't take it anymore.
"Momo? Is this really okay? I just told Master I wouldn't disappoint her, are we being too perfunctory now?"
Mo Shuying looked at Astolfo with some surprise.
"My goodness. You'd actually say something like that? Astolfo, you've grown up!"
Astolfo: "..."
Mo Shuying smiled, looking at Astolfo's disgusted expression.
"We just came out to try our luck. The other party has been hiding from us for several days now. It's not that easy to run into them. If we could, we would have already… uh."
Mo Shuying was about to say, If we could have run into them, we would have already, but before he could finish, he saw a blonde girl walking towards them.
The girl had golden hair and was dressed very lightly. Her beautiful face and excellent figure were eye-catching. She had a red jacket hooked over her left finger, draped over her back, and was grumbling as she walked.
"Hmph! I don't know why she loves sweets so much. She couldn't leave school herself, so she made me come buy them! Eat, eat, eat! Hope she gets fat and dies!"
The blonde girl walked up to the crepe cart and said directly, "Boss, one crepe, with a few Dragon's Breath Chili peppers inside."
Mo Shuying: "..."
Just as the thought, How could a crepe shop possibly have chili peppers?! popped into Mo Shuying's mind.
"Alright! Three enough?"
"Enough! And make the hot sauce extra spicy! Oh, and cover the top with cream!"
"Got it!"
Mo Shuying: "..."
Mo Shuying, not knowing what else to say, immediately entered a state of Presence Concealment. Astolfo didn't even know what was happening before a helmet was placed on its head.
Hades' Invisible Helmet, a Noble Phantasm that Mo Shuying, switching to Archer, immediately projected. Like an invisibility cloak, it provides invisibility, but this helmet is even more powerful, capable of concealing one's presence and sound.
"Hmm?"
Mordred's Instinct skill triggered, and she glanced over. There seemed to have been a slight anomaly just now, but now she saw nothing and felt nothing.
She shrugged, not giving it much thought. Just then, the boss handed a custom-made crepe to Mordred. Mordred took the packaged crepe, paid, and turned to leave. What she didn't notice was that two tails had appeared behind her.
Today was a weekday, and also a school day for students.
Hekigahara Academy, an elementary school in Fuyuki City, was also Illya's school.
As a school, it naturally had to have a school nurse. Though not necessarily useful, it was still required.
Caren Ortensia was the school nurse at this elementary school, the only one.
She was currently sitting at her desk, gently sipping a cup of tea that was half tea, half sugar. Then—
"Too slow."
Caren complained, reaching to touch her stomach. The hunger of afternoon tea was truly unbearable. She had just sent Mordred to buy food, but...
Half an hour had passed, and she still hadn't returned.
"Doesn't she have Riding skill? She can ride a snail as fast as a Harley, so how can she be this slow? Too slow..."
Boundless complaints. As an elementary school nurse, Caren was truly somewhat gloomy and negative.
And just then.
"If you think it's slow, go yourself! You sweet tooth!"
Mordred pushed the door open forcefully, walked in looking annoyed, placed the bag on Caren's desk, then leaned against the desk, seemingly angry.
Caren, however, acted as if she hadn't heard Mordred's complaints, calmly opened the bag, unwrapped the packaging, and then, under Mordred's expectant gaze, took a bite.
"Mmm~"
Caren's expression instantly became one of satisfaction. She seemed to not even notice the terrifying red inside the crepe, eating with great enjoyment.
Mordred's expression gradually changed from expectation to surprise, then to horror!
"Hey, hey, hey, is it really that good?"
Mordred was a little curious. She suddenly thought that she might have been tricked by that crepe boss. It made sense! How could a crepe shop possibly have something like Dragon's Breath Chili?!
"It's very delicious. Want a bite, Saber?"
Caren licked her lips, the bright red a bit tempting. She held the crepe out to Mordred. Mordred looked at the fiery red crepe in Caren's hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally—
"Hmph, it's because you're my Master, and I can't disobey your commands that I'll eat it. Don't get the wrong idea!"
"Hmph!" Mordred grumbled, yet she bent down and took a small bite, just a nibble, not even severing the piece, much less swallowing it.
Only a tiny bit of sauce entered her mouth.
Mordred: "()"
*Thud!*
As a Heroic Spirit, the strongest Class, the incredibly powerful Mordred collapsed stiffly to the ground, a trace of red liquid still at the corner of her lips.
"Huh? What's wrong, Saber? That's strange… what happened?"
Caren watched Mordred lying there, not moving, but didn't help her up. She continued to eat her crepe, unconcerned.
It wasn't until Caren finished the last bite of her crepe that her face began to redden. Soon, her skin turned as red as a boiled crab.
"Ah~ This stimulating sensation is amazing!"
She picked up a teacup and took a sip, then exhaled, her breath visibly red.
After finishing the cup of tea, Caren finally stood up and carried Mordred to a hospital bed, laying her down.
Mo Shuying, who had been hiding outside, watching everything, asked himself, Is this the enemy we've been worrying about all this time? Truly formidable…
*Ding-dong~ Ding-ding-ding-dong~*
With the ring of the bell, school was dismissed.
Caren quickly gathered all her belongings and waved to Mordred, who had woken up but was still dazed.
"Let's go, Saber! We're going to the cake shop in front of the station to buy cream puffs. I heard they have an Explosively Spicy Mapo Puff that's really popular. Want to try it?"
Caren's eyes sparkled with anticipation, but Mordred shook her head frantically. Never mind, never mind, I can't afford to mess with this!
"You don't like it? That's a shame. Fine, you can follow if you want, I'm going alone."
With that, Caren slung her bag over her shoulder, locked the room, and prepared to go find the new cream puff, eager to see if it would be deadly.
Mordred shook her head, then vanished, dematerializing to follow.
Caren walked down the corridor and had just reached the school's front yard when she suddenly stopped.
Someone was blocking her way: a tall, muscular man without shoes, and a beautiful girl with pink hair.
"."
Caren saw the two of them and paused hesitantly, but then she continued walking as if she hadn't seen them.
Mo Shuying was speechless at her attempt to bury her head in the sand. He reached out to stop her.
"Would you like to come visit us? We can all sit down and have a good chat."
Caren, now stopped, looked at Mo Shuying with calm eyes.
"I refu—"
"I can have Emiya make some Mapo Tofu… extra spicy."
"I'm in."
Caren declared righteously, her eyes gleaming with love for Mapo Tofu.
Mo Shuying smiled faintly, thinking, They really are related.
