Arc 1: The Long Winter

Chapter 2: Satisfaction?

     In a world different from where the town of Ledusberg exists, a world called Earth, there exists a secret organization.

This existing organization is known as the Organization for the Preservation of human order, finis Chaldea. It can also be called Chaldea Security Organization or just simply Chaldea. It was named after a small country in ancient times that was soon assimilated into Babylonia.

The secret organization's purpose was to prevent the extinction of the human order. But currently, its current purpose was the restoration of proper human history and the destruction of the lost belts.

Just like the world where the town of ledusberg exists, the world where Chaldea exists has possess properties of magic. Unlike in the former where magic is known even by ordinary people. Magic on Earth is called mage craft in modern times and the magus population of Earth has a strict rule of keeping mage craft a secret from the populace so that the 'mystery' wouldn't weaken.

But currently, this wasn't the focus of this story's narration. What was the focus of this story was certain events that could be described as mundane happening in Chaldea and a certain blue-haired fake shota caster servant as some Otaku servants have called him.

Christian Hans Andersen a fairytale author in his lifetime now summoned to Chaldea as a caster servant was interrupted on his regular 'hole up in the library session.

Despite his activating his ability of territory creation – one of the regular skills of mage class servants, where he created a study room where he wouldn't be found in the library, he was dragged away by one of the masters of remaining masters of Chaldea.

The orange-haired female master named Gudako Fujimura. With a hundred times worse servant-summoning addiction than her twin Ritsuka Fujimaru.

" Unhand me, woman! "

Andersen demanded as he was unwillingly dragged away from the library by one of his Masters on the hem of his lab coat.

Shaking her head, Gudako replied with an apologetic look on her face.

" No, I can't do that. I need you for farming right now. "

There was doubt on Andersen's mind when he heard the word 'farming'. It's been a very long time since Andersen was dragged away to go on a rayshift and farm for materials that enhance the servant's strength and get stronger.

It was at that time in the beginning. When his two masters are just simple rookies who unwillingly become the two remaining masters of the Chaldean organization and humanity's hope in the restoration of the world.

Not confident and fumbling with their orders and tasks. The days when Andersen was dragged around a few times every day to do some farming and rayshift to the singularities to support the other servants.

It was different from his current state right now where he was mostly holed up in the library and thinking of a new story that he could write.

" Farming? Ridiculous! Don't you have other servants for that Master? "

Nowadays, along with other servants, Hans Christian Andersen was forgotten. There are so many 5-star support servants that his 2 masters could choose from for their farming and fighting to the lost belts.

Didn't they already have Zhuge Liang, Tamamo no Mae, Merlin, Skadi, Castoria, Koyanskaya, Oberon, and  Lady Avalon for their needs?

Smiling, Gudako replied with a reminiscing expression on her face.

"I and Ritsu decided to have what we called a throwback farming with our very first servants! Arash is there too! You're important Hans-kun! Aren't you happy? "

Hans scoffed when he heard those words. As he was dragged out of the library he could see Miss Murasaki fumbling and Shakespeare waving at him with a huge grin on his face.

' Bastard! '

Judging by the huge conspiring smile on Shakespeare's face, he was the likely culprit of why he was discovered by his female master.

" You were originally a level 65 servant... And now you were level 100 and currently one of the few servants with a level 10 bond with us... "

Andersen clicked his tongue when he heard the muttering of his horse-obsessed master. Gudako Fujimaru is a monster of her own for making Red Hare a silver 3-tier servant into level 120 and possessing the current max bond with Gudako Fujimaru.

Hans Christian Andersen wasn't jealous of a horse having a max-level bond with his Master Gudako nor was he jealous of Astolfo being the favorite servant of his Master Ritsuka.

It doesn't matter to him that he wasn't important to them anymore. He has lost his purpose as a support and was replaced by golden 5-star support servants.

It doesn't matter that he wasn't the strongest 2-star bronze tier servant of Chaldea anymore and he was replaced.

With Chaldea brimming with a lot of heroic spirits, many servants realized the cruel and harsh reality of Chaldea's workplace environment.

The Strong replaces the weak.

Useless servants with no purpose are discarded and replaced by useful ones.

Andersen couldn't fault his masters for being cold and analytical. He still remembers the days when they summoned Zhuge Liang and both of them insist on bringing Andersen along with them until the battles and performances of other servants started suffering and Andersen insisted to them that they take him out of the team.

Christian Hans Andersen, the very first servant that they summoned. The one who taught his two masters with a pessimistic look on life and become realistic.

As he was discarded and thrown aside by his 2 masters, there wasn't resentment within him.

Compare to the other bronze servants, he was fortunate.

He was glad and satisfied with his current situation. Entering the rayshift room, he could see the exhausted Arash and Zhuge Liang who were trying hard to not fall asleep and collapse.

" Hans, do you want to become level 120 and enter a max bond with us? "

Hans Christian Andersen started struggling when he heard the suggestion coming from Gudako Fujimura.

" Unhand me, horse-obsessed woman, I refuse to become a sacrifice! "

Gudako let go of him as Andersen walk near to one of the rayshift tubes. A device capable of transferring anyone or anything too different locations, periods, or even a parallel world where the history of the world differs from this earth.

Unlike most of the low-tier servants who weren't satisfied with their situation, being holed up in the library as he think of a new story was ideal for Andersen.

He was different from farming servants and supporters who were forced to work many times a day. It was even told that overworked servants like Zhuge Liang are often sent to clinics.

And since that guy who came and replace his title as the strongest 2-star servant, 5-star support servants weren't spared at all under the hands of Chen Gong's noble phantasm and ended up as a sacrifice.

While Andersen and Gudako were in a stalemate, a new servant then entered the rayshift room.

" Master! I'm not a very old servant! Why do you need me here for? "

The loud voice of Jason shook both Zhuge Liang and Arash awake. For the latter who was startled in his sleep, out of reflex he took out an arrow and fired it somewhere.

The somewhere happened to be the rayshift nearest Andersen. The fairytale author's servant doesn't have time to react when the rayshift started releasing electricity and exploded.

When the smoke cleared, Andersen was already gone.
