Light and Dark (I) 

The fake priest sat silently, reading from an ancient book. To the average person, the book contained nothing but passages from the bible. However, to a magus, the book revealed its true information, detailing the limited collections of data on the third magic. After the last war, he was going to be prepared for this one, even if he was not a Master. After all, his father was murdered by a Master and he had no intention of dying. 

Across from him, a hooded figure sat down. Kotomine Kirei glanced up from his book to see who it was that had come here. A woman of European origins sat across from him, an uncommon sight in Fuyuki city. But what was even more uncommon was the amount of power that radiated from the figure. Kotomine could instantly tell this was a Heroic Spirit, most likely the one he was waiting for.

"So, I assume you had a reason to meet me here" the fake priest said, putting his book down.

"Of course, we have to finish planning out how we will oversee this war. I can sense one in another world has gone rather sour due to yet another interference." the woman said.

Kotomine shook his head. "I don't mean that I know the reason, I was asking why this place?"

"Oh, your church smells like dead people and I don't like it. Plus, I like the food here. Did you order some food for me?" The woman responded.

"You'll have to excuse the smell. I assume you know the reason for it. As for the location, a public restaurant is the last place I'd expect you to choose for a meeting. If someone eavesdrop, you know you'll have to kill them to keep this a secret." Kotomine said. "And yes, I have already placed the order you specified"

"Don't worry about eavesdroppers. I've put up a spell so people won't hear a word we say." the woman said as a waiter arrived at their table.

The waiter placed down their meals and left. Eight plates of Mapo Tofu now sat at the table. In Kotomine's hand was already a spoon.

"Since the food is here, let's eat first before finishing our discussion. After that I'll meet you back at the church" Kotomine said, already shovelling food in his mouth.
