NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3: Ai Hoshino
~ ARTORIAS PENDRAGON POV ~
It's been a couple of weeks since both Masha and Alya (who had gotten used to her pet name) started to come over every weekend to hangout with me. On another hand Masha and I had made a new friend, his name was Masachika Suou.
We had met him at a nearby playground sitting on top of the jungle gym, to which Masha, being the kind person she was, quickly befriended him and brought him into our little friend group.
He also had a little sister that was a few months younger than all of us named Yuki Suou, she however couldn't go outside due to having extremely bad asthma.
However she quickly grew attached to me because the few times I am in Masachika's house I bring my Nintendo 3Ds to let her play some games. I also introduced her to anime and manga.

That turned out to be a bad Idea because the first manga I introduced her to was a romance manga where the little sister was in love with her older brother (The MC of the manga) romantically and would try multiple times to get him to accept her feelings and sleep with her.
Now why was it a bad idea? Simply because after reading the manga she would ask for more like it and would start calling me 'Artorias-nii' or 'Big Brother Art'. I at first thought it was weird but soon let it go as I thought it was a phase and she would get over it soon.
(A/N: What an idiot!)
Now onto the more important things: my date with my fiancé, Masha, was tomorrow, nothing really special other than walking around the city, of course with Alexis trailing behind us as no sane parent would let two, 6 and 5 year olds walk out and about alone.
However my dad suggested I think ahead and find some places I think Masha would like and that's what me and my personal maid Alexis are doing at this moment.

As Alexis and I were going around the city and scouting for places I could take Masha when I came across a flower shop. I wouldn't stop for a flower shop but something about this flower shop was calling out to me, compelling me to go inside…or maybe something inside is calling to me.
As I was about to walk in I heard Alexis speak up behind me loudly "Young Master!" Quickly turning towards her I see she has a worried expression on her face.
"I'm fine Alexis, just got a bit distracted by all the pretty flowers and was thinking about which flowers Masha, Alya, and Yuki would like." Giving her a reassuring smile, I looked back towards the shop and the urge to go inside the shop was still there.
"Let's check it out Alexis, and since I'm not knowledgeable about flowers I'm going to depend on you, so don't let me down, alright."
"Yes Young Master!" I heard her say loudly which caused us to get more stare's than usual.
After going inside the flower shop the feeling intensified however it was all focused on one thing or rather a person, a man of average height wearing a black hoodie that had white strings and black pants, I couldn't see his face because he had the hoodie up.
But there was no mistaking that, that compelling feeling was definitely coming from him. And it looks like he was still picking and choosing which flowers he wanted in his bouquet.
As he was walking around I kept my eyes on him occasionally looking away when Alexis suggested something to which I just agreed to almost every flower she showed due to it seeming like the man was done and was ready to purchase.
Looking at Alexis it looked like she was done as well…with one out of three the bouquet he wanted to get.
As the man paid for his bouquet he turned around allowing me to get a good look at his face. He was a man of an unhealthy pale complexion, with brown hair and brown eyes that had prominent bags under them.
The man walked by with one hand in his hoodie pocket while the other was carrying the bouquet. As he walked by he gave me a brief glance before walking by, as if time slowed down we made brief eye contact before time returned to normal and he walked past me.
As he left I turned to Alexis "Alexis, hurry and pay for the one bouquet we have, we're going to follow that man that just left." Not even waiting for a response I quickly left the flower shop, following the man.
And seeing as I had only left a few seconds after the man he wasn't far so followed closely from a distance.
~ NARRATOR POV ~
Artorias followed the man, he found himself at an apartment complex he saw the man getting on the elevator but hid as he didn't want the man to see him.
So when the elevator door closed he got out of his hiding spot and looked to see which floor he would stop at.
"Young Master Artorias, you shouldn't run off like that. That was very dangerous!" Alexis had caught up to him after minutes of searching where he could've gone. "Young Master, can you tell me why you're following that man?" Alexis asked curiously.
Artorias was about to explain but seeing that the elevator stopped on the third floor he spoke quickly "Third floor… Alexis, we have to hurry and take the stairs to the third floor!" Once again not waiting for a response he took off towards the door where the stairs were, with Alexis being prepared this time took off after him.
He moved quick, way too quick for a 5 year old and in 35 seconds was already on the third floor. He made it just in time just to see the man about to speak to a purple haired woman and pull out the bouquet he had, but he also had a knife in his other hand that was hidden behind his back. However, just before he could do anything.
"Hey, you! And what exactly do you think you're doing with that knife behind your back?!" Artorias yelled from down the hall, this caused the man and the purple haired woman to be stunned, but for completely different reasons.
The man was stunned because this was the same kid he saw at the flower shop with the beautiful white haired woman 'Did he follow me?!'
The purple haired woman was stunned because of what the Artorias had said 'A knife!?' She looked at the man and saw that while he had a bouquet outstretched towards her in one hand the other was still behind his back.
Her fight or flight instincts kicked in and she quickly slammed the door causing the man to quickly turn towards the door and bang on it while shouting things about how much of a liar she is and that she never really loved him or her fans.
But seeing as he wasn't getting a response from her he turned to the one who caused him to lose his target "YOU!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID!?" He yelled historically while wildly swinging the knife.
"Uuuuh yeah, I just saved someone from a psycho lunatic loser like you…" Artorias said, waving his hand dismissively, making the man get angrier.
"Y-YOU! YOU! YOOUUUUU!" The man said aggressively, getting louder and louder with every shout yet Artorias only smirked and pointed at himself "Me?" This caused the man to snap and he ran towards Artorias ready to kill
"I'LL KILL YOUUUUUUU!" He yelled but before he could touch Artorias he was stopped by a soft yet strong hand, tracing the hand he traced it back to the woman that came to the flower shop with the kid, and from the looks of it she did NOT look happy.
"Did you…Did you just threaten to kill the Young master!" Alexis grip tightened around his wrist causing him to wince and drop his knife. Alexis didn't give the man time to do anything as she started to wail on him masterfully landing devastating blows on him left and right.
Artorias sweatdropped, he sometimes forgot that while she is a maid she is also a master at hand to hand combat along with being a weapon nut (more precisely bladed weapons).
"Wait Alexis, don't kill him we need answers or rather the woman he tried to kill needs answers." Artorias said walking past them towards the purple haired woman's apartment.
"But Master he tried to-!" She tried to explain the reason as to why he didn't need to be spared but was cut off by a glare from Artorias "That's an order!"
Alexis dipped her head down a bit before responding "Yes Master…" and gave the man one final punch knocking him out. Artorias, seeing this nodded and knocked on the door of the lady of the person he had just saved.
The door opened slowly revealing a beautiful young woman of average height with blueish-purple hair and gradient coloured eyes from purple to pink with six-pointed stars in each.
Behind her were two kids about 4-5 years of age with blonde hair, it was obviously obvious that they were twins with one being a girl and the other a boy.
The girl had a side ponytail and pink-ruby coloured eyes with a six-pointed star in her left eye. The boy on the other hand had long bangs framing his face and aquamarine coloured eyes with the same six-pointed star both his mother and sister had in his right eye.
After looking at the twins for a while Artorias presented the same bouquet the man had with a smile on his face and said
"I believe these were for you."
