As Ron gazed through his own Servant's perceptions, he could not believe his eyes. For a moment, the young man had stood by watching the exchange, speechless. There was no words that could describe the two things that he had learned today, as the two different realizations shook Ron to his core. The first was that Santa was indeed real, and he had survived as well, leaving Ron's present for Maider to pick up for him. As for the second realization, Ron had finally found the one thing that had caused countless conflicts in the world, the entity that broke brotherhoods and razed entire communities.

Ron had began to experience the power of love.

"[color=lightskyblue]Another cuter Maider with pink hair??? It's a Christmas miracle! So cute... Bring him to me right now, Maider! I want to uh... discuss the terms of an alliance! Yes, that's totally why I want him in our house. That sole reason, and with no other ulterior motiv-[/color]"

Ron's train of thought was immediately interrupted with the shrill cooing of his familiars. It seemed as if something surging with prana began to approach the territory that Ron had [i]dibs[/i] on. Surely he would be up there, instead of here at dad's house if Issei would just let him sleep over. That nerd wouldn't even help Ron with his homework! So what if he didn't go to school?

Shifting his focus to his lesser familiars, Ron had observed the presence making their way to the top of the mountain. Another Servant for sure. Utilizing the special eyes granted to him as a Master, he had observed this encroaching Servant's parameters.

"[color=lightskyblue]I see... while they both have a similar number of frills, this Servant's panties are striped and made of a much more durable material than Maider's... not that it matters, after all! I summoned the strongest Maider! [sub]Too bad I didn't summon the cutest, though...[/sub] Maider, head to the mountains west of here, and bring that other cute Servant with you! There seems to be yet another Servant attempting to take the temple away from us![/color]"
