“As if the Great Mordred would do something like that,” Mordred replied, after Seria told her to pay more attention to her surroundings. “Well… maybe if it’s for you… But, everyone else should be the ones paying attention to not get in [i]MY[/i] way!” she added before letting out a terse laugh to disguise her embarrassment.

After a few more moments of walking in silence, they finally came into a park that Mordred had never been to before. “Oh, this place looks as close to home as I think anyone can get. How did I not know about it before?” Mordred said as she squeezed Seria’s hand and did her best to try to contain her amazement.

“Hey! Isn’t that the place you were talking about, Lance?” the blonde knight shouted out of the blue when they finally came into view of the lake. A really convenient place for her Father and Lancelot to meet, indeed.

“I think I understand how Mr. Watson felt, now. Getting roped into a mystery while following your daily routine is very interesting, indeed,” Othis said as she, miracuously, finished to eat her pancakes. The silver-haired alchemist had another cup of coffee, unfazed by everything as she continued to observe Meltrylis.

“You really are an interesting one,” Othis said idly. By now she had already been able to deduce the other girl’s situation and how much it strained the relationship between her and Nanako, perhaps even more than the latter’s lack of knowledge in Meltrylis’ favored magecraft method.

“Anyway, for the time being, we should concentrate on the most important issues first. You mentioned the City’s computational center, right? I can help you get access to it, since I’m the main technician there. Perhaps it would help elucidate BB’s objectives. What do you think about it, Mr Holmes and Miss Nanako?”

“I see. Even a man of Lord El-Melloi’s fame is bound to have some skeletons hidden away at the corner of his mind. If nothing else, it’s very considerate of you to think about him like that,” Hinami said after Gray explained the circumstances behind her hood.

Even someone who had seen plenty of quirky things in her life like Hinami had to stop and think well at the sight of Grey’s cubic companion. “Well, this is a very… unique friend you have you have there. Also, with an interesting way of speaking,” she said, chuckling lightly as she observed the way the pair interacted with one another. “This kind of remembers me of a friend from way long ago. Though, I’m sure you are not interested in listening to an old lady’s anecdotes right before dinner, do you?” Hinami added, laughing in a dismissive way as the two of them made their way out.

“Well, as long as you don’t mind if it’s cheap food, I do know about a very nice place not that far from here. They have the best yakisoba in Fusang. Also, a pretty great beer, if you are the drinking girl type, that is,” Hinami said as she took the lead, guiding them through a shortcut consisting of a few alleys behind the university’s campus. It wouldn’t take much time for them to reach their destination, a “restaurant” built in the place of an old talisman store not very far from the main street. No doubt the kind of place that only someone well-acquainted to the city, or a completely clueless stranger stumbling about, would be able to find their way to.
