[Lancer, Fuuka Academy Dormitories, Japan, Morning]

Lancer phased through the door into the dormitory of his master, having returned from doing himself a personal errand the entire night. Having circled the campus of the academy, Lancer had been busy marking his territory to activate demonic defender of the state. Now that was done, however, Lancer could feel the territorial bonus boosting his power.

"Good morning, master." he spoke as he entered. "I have returned."
