3rd Person PoV

Sunday - May 12 / Daniel's house / Morning

Daniel: "Assassin made the Master of Archer reveal herself, and she was a friend of your's too...well isn't that a thing" Said the Master of Caster taking a sip from his cup of tea, not getting burnt despite it still being too hot

Daniel and Nanashi were sitting one across the other on the main table, Caster and Sarah were at his side each with a cup of tea that Caster recently brewed

Nanashi: "Same happened to you, Daniel?" Caster passed a cup to Nanashi too, to which he gratefully bowed in response before taking the cup in his hands

Daniel: "Only friends i have are you and Caster, therefor i doubt it will happen soon"

Caster: "Should we give milk to the kid?" Asked Caster pointing at the Servant at Nanashi's side, who had been balancing a spoon in his finger all along

Kazuki: "For the record, i'm not a kid, i'm sure i'm older than you!"

Nanashi: "Not in this era, grandpa" Kazuki rolled his eyes, tossing the spoon upwards to let it fall straight inside the cup in Nanashi's hands

Daniel: "Grandpa? Is that a nickname or..?" Wondered with curiosity over the choice of words that Nanashi gave to his Servant

Nanashi: "He's my ancestor, long story short there has been a legend about a member in my family that was immune to a curse which affected everyone, i didn't believe them until i summoned him" Using the spoon that Kazuki threw, he began to mix the tea so that it would get colder for him to drink

Daniel: "I see, would you mind telling me more about it?"

Nanashi: "You want to know? Sure. Grandpa?"

Kazuki nodded, understanding that it was his turn to share his side of the story about the curse of their bloodline. Daniel and Sarah both stared awaiting the answer, meanwhile Caster remained silent to hear them out too

Kazuki: "So where do i start..."

Nanashi: "You start to sound like a grandpa now, good job" The Lancer grabbed the spoon from Nanashi's cup and threw it at his head, making the spoon fall back in the tea once it hit, right where it was before

Kazuki: "As i was saying. Our family had been blessed by a God, he granted us all we needed, included a great supply of mana that we used to perform spells and increase our capabilities all for the wellbeing of our bloodline, i wasn't there to see it of course but my father told me how it was before, our life was really easier back then..."

Sarah: "And...what happened?" Asked with curiosity Daniel's sister, leaning forward more intrigued by the story

Kazuki: "I'm not quite sure, but from what i was told the God lost his name to a curse casted by it's siblings or something...it fell over all of us like a meteorite and killed all our family members until only four remained, per generation there could only remain four of us, and all of them were cursed with one grave illness each"

Daniel: "And that's your family's background Nanashi? Doesn't sound so fun, do you have one of those illnesses too?" Wondered Daniel turning to the quiet guy at Kazuki's side, shaking his head in response

Nanashi: "Lancer said me and him were the impossible fifth children, but...while we both carry all the effects of the curse yet are unaffected by it, Lancer is able to manifest it and i can only use it with specific methods" Kazuki summoned a black spear in his hands while Nanashi pulled out a straw doll from a bag at his side
