"Do you think the universe fights for souls to be together?

Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences."

Da Vinci couldn't hold her laughter. As she stands in front of Romani and Izuku's sleeping form.

Trying to stop laughing as her shoulders shake in small quivers. Da Vinci was amused and torn by the fact of whether she should take a picture of Romani and Izuku cuddling together or wake Romani for duty. As she first steps into the hidden bedroom after she has completed today's mission and brought lunch with her. She adores the cute scene in front of her.

However, Da Vinci needs Romani to get to work right now. As she already managed to finish the lab set up in secret without anyone knowing. Even before one of the servants or unaware staff members caught on. Especially those who would likely become a threat to Izuku. That particular servant that's called the Gilles de Rais's caster version.

Would be the biggest threat to the injured boy since Gilles' history related to murdering and kidnapping boys. Especially young boys.

Whether or not Ritsuka knew the actions of Caster Gilles de Rais' actions and his crimes. She still summons him but bends to agree on a condition, sealing Caster Gilles in a cube where he would remain in unless he was summoned when the necessary is in dire condition.

However, even if the Caster version of Gilles is not a threat at the moment. There's no guarantee that his Saber version and the other servants are welcoming like Da Vinci to accept the boy so easily.

With the appearance of Izuku popping out of nowhere, could only make things worse if the servants suspected him to be a spy as Izuku could be killed in a misunderstanding scenario. However, if Da Vinci and Romani introduce him later on as an excuse. Perhaps, the servants might buy their lie and leave the boy without harm.

However, Mash and the staff might be suspicious about it. So they can't bring Izuku out quite yet. Before she just remembers her modified project in her lab. It is not complete and it wasn't supposed to be launched until the time has come. But perhaps, she could use that excuse with that project... The project will be finished at a much earlier date than she planned. But now, she lay down the things before raising her arms and tickling Romani.

Causing him to squirm out of the bed and onto the floor with a thud. As Izuku squinted at Da Vinci for waking them with a pout on his face as he woke up from the short nap. Romani shouted in surprise,

"Why did you do that?!"

"Because it is already lunchtime and you two both need food as energy. Not sleeping right now. And it is not bedtime yet." As she passed Izuku, a wrapped-up sandwich with a cheery smile on her face. " Here is something to munch on since we don't have a lot of food at the moment..."

"It's okay... I can eat it." She smiled as he slowly bites his sandwich. At least, the spelling of the translation is working fine. So communicating with Izuku wouldn't be a problem with the language barrier.

"That's good. Since we are in a bad situation where danger is everywhere outside this room. So we can't let you out just yet until the time is right. While we wait for the right time. Is there anything that you want to play?" As Romani scowled at her. Rubbing his sides where Izuku couldn't see his expression.

Swallowing his chew. Izuku pondered a little for a moment.

"Books."

"Books?" He nodded at Da Vinci's question.
