"My, you saying such things certainly embarrasses me. However, I don't think that he knows enough about the proper way to treat a girl. Either way, excuse me, I guess we all have something more important to do now. Let's talk again during lunch, shall we?" Seyrun replied to Athena before briefly addressing Shinobu again.
"And I'm Seyrun, heiress of the Leviathan household. It's a pleasure meet you."With all pleasantries said and done, Seyrun got back to her feet. She dusted her knees lightly, despite the cleanliness of the summoning room, and proceeded to her own circle. Seyrun began the chant while pouring the contents of a vial of mercury on the circle, causing it to take on a silvery shine unlike any of the others.
"You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――!"
Seyrun's summoning circle shone even brighter as she spoke the final lines of the ritual. Contrary to some of the others it didn't produced any smoke, instead the mercury on Seyrun's circle evaporated into tiny sparkling motes, mingling with the ether.
Soon enough, it all ignited in a flash of silvery light, forcing Seyrun to close her eyes instinctively. And, as soon as she opened them, she Seyrun was sure that before her would stand the most magnificent Servant between them all... right?
From the depths of the Throne of Heroes where many legends laid, Atalanta, heard the call of a weak voice. It asked for her services in exchange for the chance to take on a physical form once again. She was being summoned to fight for another Grail, but not like the other times she recalled more and more vaguely as piece of her consciousness was fragmented and coalesced into her incarnation as a Servant, naturally of the Archer class as most befitted her.
Before long, Keisuke and all the other present would be able to see within the dispersing cloud of smoke the twitch of a pair of feline ears and the swishing of a tail as Atalanta's form was made manifest. She waited until the smoke settled, not because she couldn't discern perfectly the location not only of her supposed Master as well as that of...
"Huh? That's unexpected," were the first words to leave Atalanta's fine lips.
Her feral features now unveiled for all to see, Atalanta turned to Keisuke with a serious gaze, before asking.
"Can you explain what's happening? I don't think any summoning I have ever been through was such as this one." Atalanta said in a serious voice, skipping the confirmation step most of the other Servants were going through, the shared link she felt with the human in front of her was enough of a proof for Atalanta that Keisuke was her Master.
"Why are there so many others being summoned at the same time and place?" Atalanta made clear what was it that she was asking about.
