Fragments of the Lost [Fate/Grand Order] [Abandoned]

Chapter 17

"Emiya! You're back!"

"We've been saved!"

"Emiya has returned I see..."

"Ara... Truly such a miracle~"

"Alright..." Archer sighs deeply. "What happened while I was gone? Also, from here on out today, we got a recruit here."

"Yo." Senji said. "It's been a while since I've worked in a kitchen. Hopefully, my skills haven't rusted up in a bit." Senji said with a grin. Moving his arm around.

"Well..." Tamamo Cat started. "Due to the holiday season, we were given a job specifically by the director and the staff to help with the Christmas party. Specially speaking, the food." Tamamo Cat said with a sigh.

"Not to mention that with all the new Servants appearing into Chaldea months and months as time goes on... There are much more mouths to feed on a daily." Raikou said.

"Hmph. Hmph. The worst part is dealing with the gluttons." Beni-Enma said. "Honestly, you're the only one who can always deal with them chirp." Beni-Enma said towards Archer.

"Well... Now that we got Emiya back. Alongside a new recruiter. Perhaps things can go smoothly now." Boudica said. "Ehe. Any more, and we would have been fried. Truly, being a cook is stressful." Boudica whined.

"Not to mention that we're losing tons and tons of resources as well, that we had to limit the number of servings a Servant can get!" Tamamo Cat said.

"WHAT?!" Archer yelled. "This is worse than I anticipated... Chaldea has fallen into a shortage. Truly terrifying." Archer pondered. 

"Well then, it's time to get to work." Senji said with a grin.

"We'll plan out what to do from here on out. For now, you can prepare." Beni-Enma said.

"Understood." Senji and Archer said.

"I leave and disaster happens while I'm gone..." Archer whispers. His red mantle disappears and a black apron appears.

Unlimited Cooking Works

"Seriously?" Senji asked looking at the plastered red words in the apron.

"I didn't come up with it. It was gifted to me."

"By who?"

"Who else? Master, of course." Archer said with a smirk.

"You're wearing that with pride, huh?" Senji asked with a raised brow, smirking.

"The gift doesn't matter in the end, it's the thought that counts. Besides, things like this help improve bonds with one another." Archer said with a smile of his own. "Gifting things shows signs of relationships, whether it be a master and servant relationship, friends, foes, mentors. Gifts show signs of gratitude and thought. This just proves that our bond of master and relationship is there." Archer said.

"I get it... Gifting things helps build up things." Senji said. "Though you say your relationship is strong with Master, then how come I hardly see you in battle?" Senji asked.

"Master has much more reliable and dependent heroes with him now. Just because one doesn't go into battle doesn't mean that they don't need you anymore. If anything else, there's just too many of us." Archer said with a small frown. "From time to time, he would come to the kitchen at night to talk about how his day went. He tries to give everyone an equal amount of time with them, but frankly..."
