" Good job, Lancer. " Praise Naruto
Jeanne Alter doesn't reply her Master's praise. She look at Alcides and point her spear to him. She try to intimidate him to not move closer to his Master.
" Calm down. He's not our ally, but he's not our enemy either. At least. " Said Naruto to his Servant. Jeanne Alter lowering her spear, but she still keep an eye to Alcides.
Naruto back to Jeanne. For unknown reason, he suddenly remember a memory from her past.
'Naruto, if something injured, just use healing magecraft.'
" This memory.... Mother...!? But... why this memory just appear out of nowhere. "
Naruto kneeling besides Jeanne. Naruto direct his right hand to Jeanne's injured chest. A bright blue light appear from his right hand and slowly heal Jeanne. After Jeanne recovered, the bright blue light disappear.
" Master.... You can do... a magecraft...!? " Ask Jeanne
" It was.... ARGH! " Suddenly, Naruto feel an extreme pain on his right hand. " ARGH! IT HURT! "
" MASTER! " Said Jeanne in worry. Even Jeanne Alter already closer to him.
Slowly, Naruto feel the pain fade away and disappear.
" Are you alright, Master? " Ask Jeanne Alter.
" I'm okay. I think... my magic circuit was adapting to magecraft for the first time. " Reply Naruto.
" Master, how can you do a magecraft? " Ask Jeanne.
" I don't know. I think my mother taught me, but the memory just... out of nowhere... My memory is still very fuzzy. It seem I can't remember anything about magecraft. "
" Alright. And, what will we do to him? " Said Jeanne pointing on Alcides with her spear.
" I'll go. It was your victory after all. " Reply Alcides.
" Thanks. "
" No problem. " Then, Alcides jump and go away from there.
" Let's back. I'm so tired. " Order Naruto
" Understood. " Reply his Servants.
.
In the rooftop of skyscraper building.
A blonde-hair woman standing there to watch Naruto's fight and eat a pudding. Then, Shirou appear from the room and walk to her.
" Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember I order you to find the seventh Master. " Said Shirou
" I do it.... But I'm bored. " Reply the woman.
" So, you watch his fight, are you? "
" Of course, I am. I get interest to that boy. His father never let me boring, so I want to know about his son. "
" So, what do you think about him, Archer? " Ask Shirou.
" No bad, but not good. " Reply his Servant.
" Of course. He enter the world of mage yesterday. In literal meaning. "
" You right. After hear that, I think he is a good one. He can be a winner. But, he still an amateur mongrel. "
" You and your pride. But, why you help him? "
" Help him? Why should I help him? Isn't it natural to give money to beggars? Give a piece of money will not make you poor. "
" I don't understand your analogy. "
" But... he reclaim one of my treasure. He... just like that mad dog from that time. "
" Berserker Lancelot from last war, huh? Yeah.... He was your natural enemy after all. "
" It will be more fun. Watching mongrel bite each other is so entertaining. "
" Alright, alright. You can watch their fight, but remember your task. I no longer have Command Spells to order you. "
" Oh, c'mon. Don't be so strict. I'll do my job. And you know I'll never betray you, my beloved Master. " Said Archer and hugging Shirou from behind. " But~ buy me some pudding. "
" Heh... I surprise the King of Heroes love pudding. "
" It doesn't exist in my era. "
" Okay, okay. I'll buy it, so remember your job, Gilgamesh. "

In the other room on another place.
A man sit on a chair and looking into a mirror. The mirror display Naruto's fight against Alcides and Berserker. Behind him, two man playing a chess.
" DAMMIT! WHY WE DON'T PLAY A DICE GAME, DAMMIT!? " Said the first man in frustation.
" You are the one who challenge me to play this game. " Reply the second one.
" I think you will make a wrong choice, just like that time. "
" Quiet down, Berserker. " Order the man who sit on a chair.
" Alright, Master... "
" So, what do you think about that young man, Master? " Ask the second man.
" He is Master of Saber and Lancer. He looks more like samurai or ronin instead of mage. I think he just an ordinary kid. His only mage-side is his ancestor. "
" Then, will we move now? " Ask Berserker.
" Yes, we are. But, don't be so rough and hasty. My role is an observer. My job is find allies for the big war in the end. " The man stand up and close his mirror. " Lancer, Berserker, it's time to move. "
" Understand, Master. " Reply the Servants.
