[h2]Celestial Musician[/h2][/center]"I suppose you are right. Nevertheless, let's set this matter aside for now. Lamenting fate won't get us nowhere," Subaru said to Saber as the duo left her temporary home. "For the time being, I shall put my mind on the task at hand. Being indecisive isn't like me at all."

It didn't take long for them to reach the heart of this rural town. Unlike Tokyo and London, this place didn't have anything resembling a nightlife. As soon as the sun found its way behind the mountains, the city would be dead silent. Strangers walking around aimlessly would certainly gather attention, but that didn't particularly bother Subaru.

"Let's look for a place where we can do our business away from prying eyes. I doubt anyone will choose to fight where any random passersby can spy on us," Subaru said to Saber as they continued their walk. "I remember seeing an old bridge halfway between the town and the train station. I imagine it'll be quite desert at this time. The perfect place for a duel. As long as we don't run into Benkei we should be fine, right?" She joked.

Subaru took her violin out of its case as soon as they about to arrive at their destination. To the untrained eye, it would look just like any other old instrument. A knowledgeable musician would certainly identify it as a Stradivarius. But, only a magus would know its true worth as a superb Mystic Code, much like all the other instruments produced by the great genius. It was no wonder why they commanded such high prices in the market.

"Say it, Saber," Subaru began as she got herself ready, resting her back against one of the street lights at their side of the bridge. "Since you are a monk, do you know how to play the shakuhachi?" She asked as she played a note, opening her magic circuits, a move that any other magus nearby would likely notice.

[h2]Caster[/h2][/center]"I'm quite confident that not even my Ushiwaka could sneak on us while I'm around," Caster said as she materialized in front of her Master, balancing her whole body perfectly on the tip of a single geta while flashing a broad—yet distinctly inhuman—smile. Her ringed staff jiggled pleasantly as they made their way out of the bounded field marking the edge of her Master's home.

"Oh? That's most excellent. I can make a base almost anywhere, but if I can secure a good shrine with a connection to this place's mountains then this war is pretty much in the bag," Caster said as she followed her Master with swift steps, not exactly bothering to go back to her spirit form. "I'll let you know that, once I have set up shop, even that annoying Shuten wouldn't be able to break in without coming through the front door," she added in a rather prideful tone.
