As Shirou then structurally grasped the walls he noticed that the ones who built the mansion was quite old and well maintained by two maids? Impressive for two people.. an understatement that is... however as he grasped the walls someone knocked on the doors to reveal Emilia, looking around to find where Shirou was...
Shirou: Hello! Are you okay? That was quite an intense fight back then
Emilia jumped a bit to the sudden greeting and noticed Shirou wasn't in the bed but was admiring the walls? Then the cat then appeared top of Emilia's Shoulder, it whispered to Emilia 'A Strange boy and a strange outfit... for a spy he would be terrible and looks to be someone who is too good for his own' to which Emilia then glanced meaningfully which meant to continue the conversation on a later date.
Emilia: I'm quite fine Emiya... How are you? That fight may have not took a lot of you but you used magic when creating those blades which I sensed, Couldn't you have died if you used too much mana? and why would you?
He didn't know what to do at the moment as Emilia was confused on what he did.. Why would you get confused, I mean saving someone's life can have effects but he didn't think he could have guessed what Emilia was thinking nor the cat he just met earlier this day but in any case there are some matters that will be discussed for later
TIME SKIP*
They arrive at a large dining room, he structurally grasped things that were naturally in his sight in order to not put suspicion of him since the maids were quite suspicious... Since he was unknown to them it would be natural that they would be vigilant, as he felt the presence of someone watching him, though it may probably had been one of the maids as some of the plants, decorations when structurally grasped it can be seen that it was well maintained by on of the maids specifically the red haired one. he looked upon the table and found out a large portion of food in the table, like how nobles eat. to which the blue-haired maid went to you and said
Rem: Apologies Sir, My Lord requested for a presence earlier so we couldn't talk to you during that event
Shirou: That's okay, you have you own duties as well
Rem: Anyway for the time being we will wait for the arrival of the lord
Shirou: When will-
As soon as someone entered the Lord was walking towards the table looking like clown... He really looked like a clown, though when he started talking he really was a clown in all sense. To which he begins from talking about rewards and the like to which I asked
Shirou: I see so because of the political situation here to which leads from me arriving and the rescue of Emilia it seemed to be perfectly aligned which leads me to being suspected here?
Roswaal was quit shocked to his bluntness of the situation of the teenager and the intellect which he is probably smart enough to know why he is the suspect to which, he smiled but didn't show it in his face as it would be confusing.
Shirou: Though about the award... Would it be okay that I would be staying here for a while? I don't know much of these lands nor of these country...
Roswaal: Well then... You could become an official guest here and you would be given lessons about the culture and nature of Lugunica, Rem will be taking care of you for today and tour you of this mansion
Shirou: I'm sorry but could I work instead as I don't want to eat without putting an effort or helping... It would be more like me leeching of you
All of them were shocked by the boy's words, the quickest to recover was Roswaal to which slightly grinned then say " Very well then... You can then work as Butler, while Rem will help you on the choirs"
To which they then began to eat, which the other people talked to him which ended quite fast since Shirou wasn't that much of a talked since a sword didn't need much need to talk that much and would more likely be found in the combat to which most of his replies were "I see" and "okay or some simple reply to a simple question. It wasn't a question in the first place
Time Skip*
As Rem guided the boy she noticed the Smell of the witch from far now that he was here, it would be needed to stay cautious against this guy as he maybe a witch cultist to which she noticed another smell... the scent of metal, that was weird for someone who smelled like the Witch he smelled like metal, that's strange indeed however assisting this boy will be the priority now.
For a few minutes they were talking about households chores, to which he helped her clean even though it was still her job right now to clean, he was quite insistent in some moments when they were cleaning, for a probable witch cultist this guy was weird even just for a him. Why would he? So to which they got to last top to the kitchen. They arrived there at the kitchen to which Ram who entered the same was also there preparing for ingredients in order to cook for today's dinner. As she was about to talk him about how to cook he spoke
Shirou: I've cooked a fair share of mine for a lot of people... So in any case what do you think I should I help?
Ram from the side who was cutting up vegetables from the start looked at Shirou and said "Why don't you try cutting up the potatoes and the meat". to which Shirou responded and started chopping and peeling the potatoes, it had small imperfections considering that Shirou had quite a small time as he was quite focused at that time about the hunt of the dead apostle that he was getting rusty a bit because of the lack of time to cook.
As he finished cutting, he was met with two surprised maids looking at the cut potatoes as it was amazing such as the first time he started cooking, they were standing there like an idiot seeming that they both were watching him and said
Shirou: Is this satisfactory? He asked with a small some on his face
Ram looked at the Potatoes indeed those were signs of someone who worked as as a cook for a long time however she glanced at the hands of Shirou those were the marks of someone who trainee as a Knight however he didn't wore any clothing belonging to the Knight...
Ram: Very good, Shero
Shirou was surprised at the new nickname that he got, which he was confused but he didn't mind as it wouldn't affect him that much as it's only a nickname... All it has ever needed was the in the battle, analyzing the situation and identifying the problem.
Both of the maids took notice of the sudden silence and stood there for a moment
For both parties were awkward to each other neither had any plans on to continuing conversation merely small talks but even that was short lasted as Shirou wasn't a conversationalist with limited words it quickly devolved into awkward atmosphere to which they wanted to escape, to which it ended to where Ram told him about clothing and about his hair to which he auto responded with " I see" or "I'll think about it". Not much to which he was freed from duties where he checked again upon and tried again to remove it. To which bore the same result it didn't dispersed but more likely removed the scent for a short while but returning back to it's original state? Didn't know so he decided to check up on it later this evening.
He wonders around to find a garden to which smelled flowers unknown to him, he scouts the area before him to check if there's anyone there as he was, there was no on there, so to which he then began meditating there to properly examine himself. he had at least 45 circuits all high quality producing 150 units which is quite high, he continued doing it until a person arrived from a distance approached him along with the cat earlier.
Emilia: Hi! How's your day here at the Mansion
Shirou: It's Fine! It's not that much of a problem at the moment and find it relaxing when working
Emilia: I see!
The cat appears at the center of them as Shirou then sits at the grass to which Emilia asked
Emilia: Why are you sitting at the grass?
Shirou: The grass is quite comfortable, it would be nice to nap here. You could sit by me as it is quite comfortable here and...
They stood there for quite a bit but Puck realized and said
Puck: My Name's Puck btw
Shirou: I see
Puck was astonished at the boy, usually most would encourage to talk further, this boy might be a little bit awkward to talk to but the sheer will found in his eyes was quite surprising to find in this boy, it could be seen as if he was the sun... the sheer intensity of it, Puck stared for quite a long time which Shirou then say
Shirou: Hello? What's in my face?
Puck: It's nothing
they continued in silence to which Shirou stood in front of Emilia and said
"Thank you for accompanying me but break seems to be ending, see you another time!"
time break*
He was wondering around as he was told where his room would have been located as he didn't knew where he was earlier so he then opened a door next to which was supposed to be his room but before that he realized prana from the door was leaking out as he entered to which he tried to backstep but only to enter a library with a girl in the center
Beatrice: What are you doing here human?
Shirou: Sorry about that... I was trying to enter to my room but I ended up entering here!
Beatrice : Now that your here... You reek of the witch and metallic smell, go take a bath, I suppose
Like Rin Tohsaka, quite similar to her though, only thing would do comply and not complain as she always get her answer quite annoying sometimes but that's why she's someone special to me
Shirou was in daze but barely heard an audible murmuring to which he smirked at the resemblance which only grew in volume only to the last second did he realized he was being attacked as he barely traced kanshou to block the wind attack only to be pushed out of the wind crashing to the wall with large thud. Which gave the nearby maid amused look
Rem: For someone who came here and getting to the library with one attempt, is quite a feat
Shirou: It might be related to the fact my nose is like blood hound I guess 'A small confused brow rises up in Rem's face' But in any case what will be I doing this afternoon?
Rem: For this afternoon you will be given clothes as it would be dishonorable for a someone working in the Lord to be wearing inadequate clothing and damage the reputation of the Roswaal Household
Shirou nodded and he was then escorted to a room where they took measurements there and to which Ram then says
Ram: It seemed none of the clothes here fit for you
Shirou: It's okay, I know some magic to change to fit my size
Which he proceeds to grab it from Ram which left a bewildered looks at him to which almost nothing changed apart from the blue lines that appeared in Shirou's hand
Ram: Strange magic you have... Anyway you can now take a bath and I'll wait for you later in your room
Rem looked at Ram weirdly but only nodding which made Shirou confused at the short interactions between them and decided that from that moment
'To this day I've never guessed what women think... But then again why would I have the need to when Rin was already confusing enough?'
