I should mention, in case anyone met her - Caster, the fiancee of my brother, is no longer among us. Her phone number no longer works, so it isn't temporary death, but disappearance.

I should also mention, in case someone sees me with it and has a heart attack - I have a sword and I don't really know how to use it.

He was. They deeply loved each other, to the best of my knowledge.

He... did realise she was going to disappear at the end of the Holy Grail War, I assume? Or did he meet her here?

To be honest, you would have to ask them about the specifics. My brother was no magus, but he was certainly informed about his position.

The Grail does sometimes choose people who have no aptitude for it. Ironically, the Caster in my time had a Master on the same level - only, I believe, far less informed.

I've heard of him in passing. I would hope that even you wouldn't put a teacher and a serial killer on the same level, by the way.

Far from it; teaching is a noble profession. The passing of knowledge from one to another is a time-honored tradition that helps everyone to grow and benefit. I'm a teacher myself.

But I meant more the lack of magical aptitude. Not that it means much in most regards.

All of the great magical families spawned from origins of the like; people who simply passed on their lesser levels of magic to the next generation and thus amplified it. Each generation is stronger and more capable by the passing of knowledge and power. That is the way of things.

However, Caster's master... I doubt he would have survived that long. He entered a war with no knowledge of it and spent much of his time kidnaping and murdering children. There is no way that would be permitted. We were trying to destroy them both when I came here.

Ah. He's here now, and so is Caster. If you didn't know that yet, you should well be warned.

I did not. Thank you for the warning. [Her voice is still rather curt; she remembers what Issei did to her.]

You should be careful also. If children start to go missing... do warn us.

Of course. I would be ashamed of myself if I did otherwise.

Hm... perhaps you are more fitting to be a monk than I thought.

Haaa, is that in question? Just because I dislike you, that doesn't mean I would put you further at risk from a crazed killer. I doubt any monks would disagree with me there.

You are ungentlemanly at best. Monks are meant to be rather more serene and non-judgemental, after all.

However, it does seem your heart is at least in the right place.

[If only your mouth was.]

[If that was an insult it pretty much sucked.]

I'll accept that as an ungainly attempt at a compliment.

[small>It was the truth, as far as she was concerned.]

You can expect little more on that from one such as I. Complimenting those who insult me is not my style.

Too much praise from one such as you would disgust me, anyway.

Hoho, is that your way of asking me to praise you, child?

No. It's my way of telling you that I don't want a woman like you to ever become fond of me or I would fear my character had irreversibly sunk to your level.

Hmhm... I see. Well, don't worry. I'm sure that possibility will never arise...

Ah, good. Very good.

So far, I'm not seeing much worth admiring.

That's fine with me.

Well, you'll figure things out once you become an adult.

Thank you for the vote of confidence.

Thank you for the rare show of respect.

You're welcome.
