You figured that if you were going to die, then you were at least going to die on your own terms, acting not in a terrified way, but in the same way you’d act if the beautiful woman in front of you wasn’t actively trying to kill you or at least threaten to do so, so… gathering all your courage, you swallowed and spoke. “I’d… I’d prefer being whatever you want me to be, Beautiful.” You said with as much charm as you could while you were so utterly terrified by the fact that your death was likely only minutes away at best!

“Ritsuka, what the hell?!” Olga Marie was less than pleased about the response that you gave the Servant. Well she wasn’t doing anything, was she? If she didn’t want to beg or plead for her life, then she could’ve just run! Not that that would’ve done her any good, probably, you were vaguely familiar with what Servants were, the opportunity to summon one had been plastered all over the brochure after all. Ancient heroes from myth and legend being brought to life to fight alongside a Master, of course you didn’t understand any more specifics than just that much though.

“You… you really think I’m beautiful? A tall girl like me?” That… to tell the truth that hadn’t been the reaction that you had been expecting from the woman who had just recklessly murdered somebody in front of you through the destruction of the petrified girl a moment ago.

“Huh? Why wouldn’t I?” You didn’t let the fact that you were terrified stop you from reaffirming the fact that the woman was indeed very attractive. The fact here though was that for whatever reason, it seemed like the enemy Servant had been touched by what you had said to her… at least to some degree anyway! If you could talk your way out of this one with just your words alone, then you’d expect another promotion from the Director immediately!

“Tell me I’m cute.” The Servant demanded that she be complimented more, and you were a little bit overwhelmed by just how forceful that she was being. Before for had been fairly certain that she had been plotting to kill you imminently, but it was almost as if a change had come over her personality entirely as a result of receiving a single compliment!

“Y-you’re cute.” You smiled awkwardly, unsure as to why the Servant seemed to be so weak to somebody saying such basic things to her, but you were forced to jump out of the way when a spiked chain shot towards your foot, slow enough to give you just enough time to leap to safety!

“Say it again, but mean it this time! Tell me that it doesn’t matter how tall you are, it’s still possible to maintain a cuteness that only the petite claim to be able to have!” The Servant once more demanded that she be called cute, and you realized just how starved for compliments that the woman must be, that she was so desperate to be called cute she was willing to spare an enemy?

“You’re cute! It doesn’t matter how tall somebody is, they could tower over a city and still be cute if they simply have the right face and personality! It’s not something that is restricted to small things! There’s no such monopoly on being cute! It’s a state of mind, not a state of body!” You got a little bit passionate about things as you revealed your thoughts on the matter. “Anybody can be cute!” You had no idea why this seemed to be working on the Servant so much, but you weren’t in a position to be asking questions right now.

“I can’t believe this is happening.” Olga spoke in a deadpan as she looked on at the bewildering situation that had sparked up between you and the enemy Servant, clearly she hadn’t been expecting for anything you might’ve said to the Servant to have actually had any sort of effect at all! However, a few seconds after she spoke up, a thick metal chain shot from the darkness and wrapped around the body of the Director! Completely constricting her!

“Shut up! I haven’t decided what I’m going to do to you yet!” The Servant barked at Olga Marie, and the woman in that moment knew that it would probably be good idea to shut up and not accidentally managed to antagonize the Servant any further by saying anything. The Servant’s expression changed completely when she looked at you again though. “I’ve yet to introduce myself, I am Lancer. I’m so happy that I could finally meet somebody who was willing to think differently for once.” Lancer seemed to be truly happy. “However… do not think that I will spare you just for showing kindness to me.” Lancer tried to gather herself and recover as she looked at you, but it was no good, she’d revealed her weakness to you.

“Not even for saying you’re the cutest person I’ve ever met before?” In a sense, it was probably true as well, the fact that she responded so adorably simply to being called cute, you couldn’t help but find it amazingly endearing… she might’ve been a monster that just moments ago you felt was going to kill you… but despite that,i t had really only added to her charm. A girl who had the exterior of a killer but was secretly about as gooey as a melted bar of chocolate if you managed to unwrap her from that exterior!

“N-no! You can’t say that! You’re only saying that because you’ve never met my sisters! They’re far cuter than I could ever hope to be!” Whatever was wrong with this woman, it was clear that her self-esteem issues were near the top of her list, that she was comparing herself to her sisters that you were pretty sure couldn’t possibly be around.

“I’m sure I’d appreciate you more even if I were to meet your sisters right now.” You continued to praise and flirt with the woman even as she tried to talk down about herself, you really hadn’t expecting flirting to have been able to work at all, but you were consistently being surprised!

“Nnn---” The woman looked at you, her face that had once been full of smug menace now looked full of a desperation, a conflict of interests warring within her own mind. You were pretty certain that she was fighting against her urges to kill you and instead keep you, before finally… she made up her mind. “I should be killing the two of you both now, but… I think I’ll spare you both… in exchange for one thing.” You felt your relief building as it seemed like you’d managed to get yourself and Olga spared through nothing but your own words!

“W-well… what is it you want?” You smiled, hoping that the terrible situation had finally been resolved.

“I want you. I want to devour you in every sense. I’ll grant you the same fate I did my sisters… you’ll be together with me, forever.” Lancer was giving you a real strange look, and you felt like you may have gone a bit too far in your flirting. “See… all I have to do… is devour you, and then when I’ve got you all packed away and gurgled up, I’ll keep hold of that yummy soul of yours and bind you to my hair! That way we can always be together! Finally, somebody who appreciates me for who I am! Somebody not afraid to think differently! Oh… I can already smell you, you’re going to taste so good!” You blinked in surprise as the taller woman got close to you, raising your chin up with a single finger as she got close to your face with her own.

“H-hey… you… you don’t need to do that? If you do that, who’ll be around to tell you how cute you look?” It looked like you’d only really managed to get yourself in more danger! She was going to take your soul?! You didn’t want that to happen!

“Oh… but I do… somebody like you… you’re going to need to be killed anyway, but I can at least give you the honor of truly becoming one with me… and besides, I’ll probably be sooo distracted with you that I’ll accidentally let your friend run away.” Lancer revealed that she was actually willing to let the Director escape with a smile on her face. “Now… let’s get you where you belong shall we?” You could hear the footsteps of the Director sprinting for her life in another direction, which… was probably to be expected. It wasn’t like she could help you here!

Lancer dragged her long wet tongue across your face, leaving a trail of saliva as she did, moaning with satisfaction before she opened her mouth wide and shoved your entire head inside of her maw! So… this was it, was it? Despite having managed to successfully charm the woman, your reward was just to end up as her food anyway? How was that fair…? You braced yourself for the end as your head was dragged deeper down Lancer’s throat, but then...

“Let her go. Now.” A voice from the outside that you could barely hear demanded your freedom! Lancer froze her efforts of eating you for just a moment before she spat your head out of her mouth, causing you to clatter down to the rocky floor, hair drenched with Lancer’s saliva! You looked over to see the person who had demanded you to be released, to see…

[A hooded man wearing light blue!]

[Mash! Though she was dressed differently!]

[Hinako! Just a chubby as ever!]
