"Mmmnnn..."

The brunette's eyes slowly fluttered open. Aaah... she'd slept so heavily... it was the painkillers again. Even though her arm was useable again, that didn't mean that she could stop using the medication she'd been prescribed yet. Even if the wound was gone without a trace from the outside, it still start aching if she neglected to take the painkillers.

Really, she'd grown used to it by this point.

Not that she didn't hope it wouldn't last any longer(in fact, she'd been assured it wouldn't), but for the time being she understood that there wasn't really any choice in the matter. She'd taken a crossbow bolt from a Servant through her arm . If not for the facilities found in Fusang, the healing magecraft at their disposal, Nanako could have ended up with permanent damage.

She was thankful that wasn't the case.

But she didn't regret what she'd done, either. That bolt... it wasn't going to miss. She knew it. She'd watched them get closer and closer to piercing her Servant straight through the heart.

She couldn't let that happen. So she had to do something, and the only thing that came to mind... it was using her own body as a shield.

Slowly she sat up, stretched... and noticed the time.

"It's noon!?"

The fact Nanako followed that exclamation by practically falling out of bed couldn't have helped.
