One With Nature 2

The next day, which was thankfully the weekend for the kids, I got up early to make breakfast for Sakura before going to build the little Arena.

"Good morning, sweetie," I said to Sakura as she came into the kitchen wearing her bunny printed pijamas.

"Mornin'..." She yawned as she sat down in the dining table.

A cute habit Sakura had is that she tended to be lazy during weekend mornings.

"I'll be working the whole day on the battlefield to make sure it's good enough. You can't be too cautious with Servants, especially with Gil being one of them," I said placing her breakfast in front of her. "So, the café will be closed for the day. I'll leave a sign that says we're redoing our menu or something."

"Alright," Sakura nodded, eating her breakfast.

"Want to keep me company while I work, Medusa?" I asked, knowing she's always close by to Sakura.

Medusa appeared, dropping her Spirit form and opened her mouth to say something-

"Actually! I was hoping Rider would join me today!" Sakura suddenly cut in, the previous drowsiness gone.

Both me and Medusa stared at her in confusion for a few seconds. "I... Wasn't aware you needed me for something," Medusa stated.

"W-Well... Rin was feeling down yesterday so, since we have the day off and you didn't prepare the arena yet, I offered to take her out to make her feel better, and for Rider to join us to pay her back for all her help!" Sakura declared, joining her hands innocently.

"Oh, I guess that makes sense. You do deserve a break Medusa," I agreed with her.

"I-I'm not exactly the 'going out to have fun' type," Medusa awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck.

"Come on! We'll just go out for a few shops! We can even get you some clothes so you don't have to stay in Spirit form the whole day!" Sakura insisted.

"You should just agree before she uses a Command Seal for it," I added, knowing my daughter can be rather hard headed.

Medusa just stared at us for a few seconds before sighing in defeat and nodding in agreement. "Great!" Sakura got off her chair. "I'll go get dressed and call Rin to tell her, maybe call Illya, too!"

I blinked as Sakura went for the stairs. "Wait, didn't you say you already planned to go out with Rin?"

Sakura froze in the middle of the stairs and raised a finger. "I-I mean I'll call Rin where to meet up and that I'll be bringing Rider, of course!"

With that, Sakura ran up the stairs to her room while me and Medusa looked at where she disappeared, feeling confused.

"I can't understand teenagers. I guess I'm officially old," I joked.

Third POV:

Sakura hoped her attempt to keep her father from Rider wasn't too obvious. Finishing the call to her sister for the date that didn't exist until now, she went to her closet and started getting dressed.

She had nothing against Rider. In fact, Sakura believed she seemed like a good person. But, that didn't change one single fact.

Sakura knew almost nothing about Rider.

The only things she knew was that her name was True Name was Medusa, and that she knew her father when she was alive.

Her father had taught her that history books tend to be off in details, so she didn't exactly trust what she had known about the 'Mythical Medusa'.
