    Not at the church. Remember: Rin never saw her until this story and Tokiomi knows what Archer looked like.

    He's paid by the Church. It's an actual job, you know.

    It's how he managed to get all that expensive wine for Gilgamesh to steal in Fate/Zero.

    Tokiomi is still in charge of that until Rin is old enough for her name to be placed on official documents.

    He's not paid by the Church as just some priest gig. He has connections strong enough to get machine guns and other things on relatively short notice. So there's that too.

    And I'll give you some feedback tomorrow.
    He never sleeps. He never dies.

    Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

    Read this, immediately went and marathoned From Azure to Zero - about to leave a post in there after this.

    I liked the short, but I kinda expected Kirei to say something like "Excellent, now do it without tricks" and for it to continue until she admits defeat.

    It would be pointless.

    By using a trick she admits (or rather, has realized) that some things can't be done just by ability, which was the entire point.

    Training is to help the trainee improve, not to crush their spirit.

    Ah, fair enough - that actually makes more sense, I guess I'm just too used to Kirei being a troll.

    Whenever one of the mods gets around to it, I assume.

    Good short. I'm not too proud to admit that, for a shining moment before I remembered who the main character theoretically was, I actually thought it was going to be Maiya. It's kinda nice to see Kirei being good-ish here, and Noel the idea of Noel as a NEET is just plausible enough to be hilarious.

    Of course, now I want her to interact with Rin beyond this, but that's probably asking too much.

    I'm going to be honest here: When I saw the title, I was expecting porn.

    Then I saw the author and doubted my expectation.

    My doubt was well-founded.

    Yeah I'm not gonna lie, your avatar has almost gotten me in trouble more than once. People keep thinking I'm on a slightly different kind of site.

    Good snippet for a good story. I like this Kirei, he still trolls, but while meaning well, instead of just for the trolling. And that's totally what Rin would do if she can't reach something. So well done there, too.

    Eh... No, it still looks like that. Just a tiny bit less.

    All of the tentacle sex in the picture is implicit, rather explicit.

    Now, Seiba's leotard has a visible crotch opening, but in my actual avatar, she's only visible as a shoulder.

    Yep, it was only a couple of days ago.

    It is interesting to read and I liked it, and for some reason the image of Noel teaching Rin how use a computer to do internet shopping comes to my head as a result of re-reading it.

    And then I laugh at the idea of Rin using a computer until I remember Fate/Extra, even if it is technically a different Rin.
