Code 003 [video]

[Filtered to the Sabers]

I have a question for you. Both of you. I hope that's okay.

[Filtered from Extra Saber]

Um... I have a question. And a request. Is it possible to make things in the tower? Food, I mean. I know they provide us with food, but I'd really like to try making something of my own.

[She frets a little, but doesn't hesitate much when she speaks up again.]

... And that's where the request comes in. I was hoping someone would be able to teach me how to make something. A... a cake, to be exact.

[Irritating energy? She's not really that energetic, is she...?]

Mm, maybe. I don't really have much to do around here, so it might help.

[Well, it's not like even he can come right out and say he hopes she gets less happy. Instead he has to passive-aggressively imply it.]

An irritating person like you needs an obnoxious teacher...

I won't give you much of my time. But while I'm doing Rin's meals and desserts, I won't throw you out for observing.

... If you're willing to teach me, even just a little bit, does this mean you're an obnoxious teacher?

[... It's hard to tell if the girl is joking or not, with how flat her voice is as she says this.]

See?

Maybe you're not entirely stupid.

[... So... he likes it when she says smartass shit like that??? Huh. Weird.]

And you're a little strange. But not in a bad way.

You're more than a little strange. But I haven't decided whether it's in a bad way or not, so you'll need to be on your guard.

I've been told that before. [A lot. Thanks, Rin.] I won't hold it against you if you think it's in a bad way, so don't worry about it.

Jeez. You should stand up for yourself more.

It's hard to change peoples' opinions once they're set on something, don't you think? I'll try and prove you wrong, or change your mind or whatever, but I can't just do that right away. So I have to accept that for now.

Hmm.

[And then, apparently, a topic change!]

Why do you want to make a cake for your friend's birthday, anyway? It's true, birthdays have cakes, but I'm sure you could get someone else to make it around here.

Well... because I can't really buy a present. I can't really make things. Baking a cake on my own is the best idea for a present that I have.

Does your friend expect a present?

I'm not sure. Maybe? [She's certainly incredibly materialistic, so maybe she is expecting something...] But even if she isn't, I still want to do this.

You don't feel it's an obligation...? Something required of you. To do this for your friend.

Then--tell me. Why are you doing it? Why do anything for her birthday at all? The only person you're responsible for here in the tower is yourself.

I'm doing it because she's my friend. My partner. Someone who saved my worthless life many times... I can never repay her for all she's done, but I can at least start by doing something special for her birthday.

But if your life was worthless, was she really doing anything that needs to be repaid?

[She nods.] I certainly think so.

Hmph. You make no sense--

[He's about to dramatically drop her name on her, when he realizes he doesn't actually know it. He shuts his mouth, disconcerted.]

...? What's wrong?

Jeez, I've offered to let you watch me cook, and I don't even know your name.

Oh! [Haha, whoops.]

I'm sorry. My name is Hakuno Kishinami.

--I'm called Archer.

[... Oh. Uh. Welp.]

... You're a Servant?

...you're a Master?

Uh... yeah. I am.

[She raises her left hand, showing off the Command Spells on the back of it - two parts still bright red, one gray and faded.]

But my War is over. You don't have to worry, I promise.
