"Hey Paimon you have been awfully quiet for a while, did something happen?" Jouichirou questioned while dragging the half-conscious body of Shirou back home.
[...] But he got no answer.
"Paimon, you ok there?!"Jouichirou started panicking a little.
[...Z...]
"Huh? Right now I just heard a sleeping sound effect." Jouichirou listened more carefully this time.
[...Zzz...Zzz]
"She... is asleep... but I guess that is for the better, we can make Sticky Honey Roasts tomorrow."
[Did someone say Sticky Honey Roasts because Paimon is hungry.]
"..." Jouichirou was left speechless.
"Welcome back... I guess... Anyways, Paimon you should introduce yourself to the others first."
[Others?]
Paimon came out of Jouichirou as they both walked back to the living room where everyone was. Jouichirou looked at the clock.
"Took approximately 1.26 minutes to subdue him," Jouichirou noted and took his seat.
"So, what is that flying... mascot?" Rin asked.
"Hey, Paimon is not a mascot," Paimon shouted at Rin.
"Paimon is a friend." Jouichirou said.
"Yes, Paimon is the greatest friend!" Paimon said puffing her chest proudly.
"And a traveling companion."
"Yes, Paimon is the greatest traveling companion!"
"Paimon is emergency food."
"Yes, Paimon is the greatest emergency fo-" Paimon paused realizing what she had just said now. She turned around to see Jouichirou chewing on her night blue cape.
Paimon tried to run but Jouichirou caught her and imprisoned her in his lap with his hands holding her in place and his chin placed on her head to prevent her from flying upwards, during which he almost got pierced by her crown. 'Soft' was his thought as he squished Paimon in his embrace.
"Also talking about food, Gil-Gil, take out the stuff."
"Pfft!" Rin almost laughed at the nickname Jouichirou gave Gilgamesh.
"Gil-Gil... What is that outrageous nickname brat?!" Gilgamesh said obviously pissed off.
"So, you don't like it... then how about Gil only, sounds good right, Gil."
"It is just as outrageous!"
"You should actually be thankful that I gave you a nickname, cause if I didn't Paimon would have, and I will tell you, her naming sense is even worse than mine."
"Hey, Paimon can name things and people properly, and to prove it, from now on he will be called Goldie Gilly!"
"PFFT *Cough* *Cough*" Rin spat out the drinking she was drinking and started coughing as she choked on her drink.
Archer bit his lower lip so as to hold on and not laugh.
Saber had her ever stoic face which started twitching and her hands shaking.
"Hahahaha!" Whereas Jouichirou laughed his ass off. "So, how is it, Gil or would you rather prefer, Goldie Gilly~"
Gilgamesh was about to burst from anger and attack them all when he suddenly felt a servant, moving toward them.
"We got some company heading right towards us." With those words, everyone went serious.
"The garden is already a mess, we should take it somewhere else, plus the neighbor's house might get rekt next and we are just past the 12:00 mark, meaning I can't fix anymore stuff,"
"Paimon has a question, when will Paimon get to eat the Sticky Honey Roast?"
"Sorry Paimon, but we can't right now, but I promise after this is over I will let you have all the food you want."
"You promise."
"Promise Promise~"
"Pinky Promise." Paimon held out her pinky finger.
"Pinky Promise~" Jouichirou sealed the promise by intertwining his pinky finger with hers.
To the rest, this looked like a scene in a movie when a father would promise his daughter to bring her lots of gifts once he came back from war.
Rin looked a bit solemn, looking at them, both of them reminded her of her father and her as a child.
(A/N: I detect a strong need for headpats. Who else is with me.)
We made our way to a cemetery near the church were the rule enforcer of the war happened to be staying.
They stop at a spot they think of as the best and wait for the intruder to come.
"Something about this seems familiar as well." Archer muttered in a low voice as some memories start to resurface.
"Oh, we are all dead!" He instances went into spirit mode or invis mode or something.
"Archer where are you going?" Run questioned Archer.
"I choose life!" Were the final words Archer left behind before completely disappearing.
Suddenly a big boom was heard behind them as everyone turned back to see who it was and not so very surprisingly, it was a small girl with white hair and red eyes riding on the shoulders of a big muscular Herculean man.
"Hello everyone. My name is Illyasviel Von Einzbern." She bows and the points at the man next to her who was growling.
"And this is berserker."
"Berserker, huh, I liked you more when were Berr-Zerr-Carr." Jouichioru said.
