But it seems like I got scammed. Oh well, I guess that's what I get for trying to game the system,"[/color] Alex sighed once more. Things weren't really going like she expected them to.

[color=steelblue][i]"Stay calm, analyze, decompose, reassemble..."[/i][/color] she thought, remembering the steps of the alchemical method. She could do it, she could...

[color=steelblue]"Oh, woah! You are quite a hottie, Emon! Maybe I didn't draw a hand as bad as I thought,"[/color] Alex said when she got to take a proper look at her Servant's features. The greatest alchemical discoveries of all time were made pretty much by accident. Having luck on your side is something every Alchemist has to be used to. Alex was sure she could make do with anything she was given, except probably a Berserker. [i]That[/i] would never work.

After feeling her heart skip a beat for a moment, Alex set the coins aside—they probably belonged to the family that she was living with—and looked at Assassin as he informed her of his next course of action. [color=steelblue]"Scouting, I see... that's a great idea. Just what you'd expect from a professional in the field,"[/color] she said with a smile stamped on her face.

[color=steelblue]"Anyway... would it bother you if I tagged along? I mean, I don't have anything against being one of those crooks that sends an assassin out to stab people in the back while they are in the toilet or something like this if that's the kind of Master you prefer to work for. But, if I could, I'd like to do something more interesting than chilling around for the next two weeks or so,"[/color] She asked in the same bashful from before voice, once again scratching her cheek.

[color=steelblue]"Also, erm... I can help find the other Masters faster with my eyes and this,"[/color] Alex said as she drew a map of the city overlaid with a magical circle in the shape of an astrological chart and a crystal pendulum hanging from a silver chain.

[color=steelblue]"It's kinda rough to do this kind of Divination in a land I'm not used to, but at least we are still in the Northern Hemisphere, so the stars aren't gonna be misaligned,"[/color] she said as she laid the map on the floor and ran some mana through it, before letting the pendulum do its work of pointing towards the next few nearest major sources of magical power.

[color=steelblue]"I guess that... this is where we should be looking at first,"[/color] Alex said, pointing towards a certain direction in the map of Tokyo.

Following that, she extended her hand to her Princess and said, [color=palegoldenrod]"With your choice made, I believe that we should leave this place. If we stay, we ran on the risk of endangering innocents as well as revealing the existence of the Holy Grail War to the public. It would be ideal if we could go to an open place, like a park. If that's not possible, the rooftops of the nearby buildings will suffice. I'd rather not need to duel in a filthy place such as the alleys if it can be avoided."[/color]
