[h2]Caster - A Shady Conjuror[/h2]

"I assure you, ojou-sama, my preparations have gone off without a hitch."

This was truly an opportunity to be valued. To have a chance to walk this world again... not only for its own sake, but indeed to see those who had shared his time among the living once more.

That would truly be a delight, wouldn't it?

The black-haired young man smirked as he bowed.

"With me by your side, you're going to find nothing but success."

He straightened, slowly.

"Now, if you'll excuse me... I have some observation to do."

With that, the Caster-class Servant turned on his heel. Yes indeed... he had quite a bit of observation he wanted to do. As he walked, his body changed, clothing dissipating into black mist and reforming in a different state... by the time the Caster had reached the doorway, [url=https://safebooru.org//images/2844/d121fb7008674e90050dac39cba08e00faf118c3.png?2963176]a young teenaged girl with casual clothing stood in his place.[/url]

"Bye-bye, ojou-sama~!" she declared, still smirking, before departing.

[h2]Sekiguchi Akane - Higanbana Shoujo[/h2]

The sky was red.

Everything else was cast in black, save for the crimson flowers blooming around the rather stately mansion. There were some who had seen this place, when its owner was feeling particularly bored. When they were able to leave, they simply added to the mystery, and the fear, surrounding the legendary Higanbana Shoujo.

She found it all rather amusing.

Sekiguchi Akane delighted in fostering the fearful narrative that surrounded her. The local people, even those who had never seen her before, often came to believe in the stories of 'Higanbana Shoujo', the legendary spirit said to inhabit the land. Of course, it was true. At least insofar as her presence was concerned.

But there was something new and exciting coming to this town. Not that Akane would simply forget about how much she enjoyed teasing the locals, but this was something new altogether.

The Holy Grail War.

How could she pass up such an opportunity? Even if she had no particular goal in mind, to participate simply for the novelty of it was enough of a reason for her.

The small girl, clad in a crimson kimono, brushed her silky black hair back as she approached the main doorway to her mansion.

Perhaps there would even be opponents interesting enough to bother killing...

"Caster, are you ready to go?"
