“Sure, take some more time to work on it if you wish.” You answer, deciding that you can fill Jen in on what happened later, and perhaps convince her to be more sociable once everyone else is used to her presence. Come to think of it, you haven’t directly heard anyone’s opinions on her (save Avenger’s) yet, just secondhand reports. Maybe you could bring that up in the meeting.
Smiling gently, Jen answered, “Thanks, I really do appreciate it.”
“Let’s go, Avenger.” You tell your Servant as you turn toward the elevator.
“Yes, Master.” She affirms as she follows you to leave.
You find Truvietianne, Matsuda, and their Servants had just returned and were exchanging pleasantries with Rushorou and his Lancer in the building’s lobby. Shortly afterward, Rushorou leads everyone to a conference room with all the amenities to be expected, such as coffee, water bottles, white-boards, and TV screens mounted on the walls. You suspect he’d taken a break from training and spent some time getting everything ready here; what a helpful guy.
“I heard you went on another survey, how did it go?” You ask, addressing Truvietianne and Matsuda.
“Not much happened, actually. We saw a few of that Rider’s scouts from a distance when we went down the coast, but no one attacked us.” Matsuda answered, “Guess people are playing it safer on day two when they realized some Masters prefer to fight at night.”
“Did something else happen last night?” You ask, wondering how much you missed.
“None of us decided to sortie, but we could tell even from a distance that battles were sporadically breaking out all night, then dying down at dawn.” Truvi answered, grumbling, “No doubt our Dead Apostle friends are to thank for that.”
“I believe it’s time we present an official report of our recent excursion, Master.” Caster told Matsuda before showing an updated map to everyone and copying the updated sections onto the other maps. They found one leyline convergence point to the south in the Shinagawa ward, and two more to the northeast of your current position. Aside from the aforementioned scouts, they didn’t see any other hostiles, and refrained from investigating the occasional sounds of battle they’d hear in the distance. One other location of note was a foreign structure erected in the Chiyoda ward, where the Imperial Palace normally would be. Truvietianne said she recognized the architecture as fitting somewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean and had a few ideas of what it might be, but she couldn’t come to a definitive answer.
“Do you think an internet search could narrow it down? Suzaku was working on booting up the building’s wi-fi.” Rushorou suggested before sipping from a coffee cup.
“Ah, maybe I’ll ask him about it later.” The lady replied, letting the topic drop at that. You got the impression that something made her a little embarrassed just now.
