One With Nature 2

FSN: 8

"Hmm, not bad, Tree," Gilgamesh commented, swirling the wine in his glass.

"Glad you like it. Nice clothes, by the way. Good to see you're opening yourself to modern fashion," I said, motioning to Gilgamesh's leather jacket and black jeans.

"One of the few things this modern world has not failed to gain my attention with is their fashion," Gilgamesh said, sipping his wine.

We were in the café. The kids and their Servants were standing in the background, watching this happen with confused faces, except for Sakura who went behind the counter to prepare refreshments.

The wine Gilgamesh was enjoying is from Scathach. She's the one who stole it from the gods during one of her feuds with them. I may have... borrowed it without asking.

And, I also may have left a note saying it was Cu Chullain.

Obviously, she won't fall for it. She's the one who taught me how to write in my puppet body. She'll recognise the handwriting instantly. Luckily for me, she's locked up in the Land of Shadows.

"Rin, can you help Sakura prepare snacks and drinks, Emiya's family is coming to confirm Berserker's Summoning," I told the still shocked student.

"Huh? Oh, uh, okay," Rin hesitantly nodded before heading behind the counter to help her sister, all while keeping an eye on Gilgamesh.

"Zack," Artoria finally spoke, her body tense since they got here. "You... know this person?"

"Oh, yeah, Gilgamesh and I go way back," I answered.

Rin sputtered from behind the counter. "D-Don't just reveal my Servant's True Name!"

I raised an eyebrow at her before turning to Gilgamesh. "Hey, Gil, do you care?"

"Does it look I care to you, Tree?" Gilgamesh, as expected, sounded almost insulted.

I did a 'see?' motion at Gilgamesh while looking at Rin, who just groaned and went back to helping Sakura, looking close to giving up on life.

"Why don't you join us?" I offered to the other Servants since the kids weren't of drinking age.

"I don't really like drinking," Medusa replied and shrugged her shoulders.

Well, that fits. Drinking has always been her sisters' thing.

"I'm more of a Sake man, myself," Assassin declined with a shrug.

Artoria, on the other hand, stepped forward and took a seat. She reached for a wine glass with one hand, but I can tell she was still holding Excalibur in the other.

Taking a sip of wine, her eyes widened. "This is good!"

"Well, it has to be, less Gil destroys my cafe," I stated and Gil didn't even pretend to not agree with the look on his face.

A tray was almost slammed on the table. "I'm still mad you've been hiding drinking wine, dad," Sakura grumbled, placing her hands on her waist and looking disappointed.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Hey, like I said, I don't drink this stuff. I only keep it for guests."

"I can vouch for that. I've never seen Zack drink any alcohol before," Artoria backed me up.

"He didn't even drink or eat when we knew each other," Medusa added.

"Hmph, seems you still lack taste in the finer things in life, Tree," Gilgamesh added.

Sakura stared at me for a few more moments before sighing in defeat. "Fine, I believe you," she then went back to the counter with her sister.

"Well, with that out of the way," I turned back to Gilgamesh and Artoria. "Wanna play Uno until Emiya's family shows up?"
