After getting out of my house, I hailed a taxi and go straight to the clock tower. After paying the fees, I go inside to look for some magus to hunt. I'm searching for a suitable target to test my new skills. Someone not very hard to deal with. While searching, my superior came near me and told me to come with him as he needs to tell me about something.

Superior: The Queen ask for your presence.

Vergil: What?! The Queen?! Why?!

Superior: Do you think would I know what the Queen is thinking?! Now, go… go… Shoo… Shoo…

Vergil: Argh… Alright. I'll go.

After talking to him, I went straight to Lorelei's office. She was the one who called me first; which is really rare. She was always busy with her work that she doesn't have time to write a full page of letters to me sometime. She called me to come to her office this time. I'm sure there's something very important. After walking through the hallway, I'm now standing in front of Lorelei's door. I gently knocked on the door 3 times. She told me to always knock her door 3 times. No more, No less. She and her perfectionism.

Lorelei: Come in.

When I got into the room, I saw mountains of papers that are neatly stacked. How?! Each stack is at least 2 feet tall! How far will her perfectionism go?!

Lorelei: Ah… Vergil, you're here.

Vergil: Yeah… it must be something serious that you need to call me.

Lorelei: Yes. I want you to be our representative for joint operations with the church. You and the representative from the church will be hunting a Dead Apostle.

Vergil: Wait. Wait. Wait. You, of all people, telling me to hunt an apostle?! Instead of hunting by yourself?! Damn… Are you feeling well, Lorelei? Do you need to see the doctor? I know a very good therapist. I'm sure she'll help you.

Lorelei: Can you stop now, Vergil? It's not that I'm not feeling well, but, I'm not free enough to hunt it. Can't you see these mountains of paper works? But, thank you. I'll take that offer. I really need a therapist for my stress.

Vergil: Okay, then. By the way, Lorelei.

Lorelei: What?

Vergil: *nervously rubbing the back of my head* I have somehow become the Average One…

Lorelei: You, WHAT?! HOW?! Never mind that. Who knows about your previous elements?

Vergil: Aside from Kiritsugu Emiya? None.

Lorelei: Why did that spell caster know your element?

Vergil: We got along pretty well. It's like "I know his element, He knows mine".

Lorelei: Are you sure no one other than that spell caster knows your elements?

Vergil: Yes. Aside from my family, only you and Mr. Emiya know my element. You know that I don't have many friends and I always work alone. Mr. Emiya was the first person I've worked with.

Lorelei: Then, it's easy. I'll just need to give you Average One title and everything will be alright. Now, tell me. How did your element change?

This is the part where I lie, right?

Vergil: To be honest? I don't know. But I blame Zelretch or Merlin for it. You can't stop me. I'll always blame Zelretch or Merlin if something I don't know happen to me.

Lorelei is staring me with "are you kidding me?" look.

Lorelei: Are you kidding me?

And there she said it.

Vergil: Nope. I really don't know myself.

Lorelei: Fine… I know I won't be able to get the answer with your stubbornness. And you should know that you got lucky by telling me first about this. If others know about this earlier than me, I know I don't need to tell you what will happen.

Vergil: Yes, mam'. Now, what you want to tell me is, I need to go on joint operation with the representative from the church. So, who is the Apostle?

Giving me a file, she said

Lorelei: Silvan Alaric. A potential ancestor.

Vergil: What?! You want me to hunt a potential ancestor? You know that I'm not that level, right?

Lorelei: If it was you from before? No. But current you will be able to hunt down that vermin just fine.

Vergil: What do you mean current me?

Lorelei: I can feel it since the time you got into the room. Your aura, it changed. Something has changed about you. And the amount of prana oozing out from you has become much stronger too.

Vergil: Wait, seriously?

Lorelei: Yes. Now, back to the topic. You will be meeting with the representative from the church tomorrow morning in Battersea Park.

Vergil: I got it. Anything else?

Lorelei: Yes. Make yourself free at 7 P.M. We'll be having dinner together.

Vergil: Hahh… Fine.

Lorelei: What's up with that sigh? You don't want to have dinner with me?

Vergil: It's nothing. Where will we go? Same old place?

Lorelei: Yes. It is also the place where we had our childhood memories after all.

Vergil: Ah… Yeah. Good ole days. It was also the time when you were much cuter. Without being Miss Stuck Up.

Lorelei: I'm not stuck up, okay? I'm just better than others. That's the fact.

Vergil: Hahh… okay. Should I wait for you?

Lorelei: No. I'll be working here till 6:30 P.M. 15 minutes to get ready and 15 more minutes to get there. Come and call me at 6:45 P.M. sharp.

Vergil: Okay. I'll be going back now. Bye.

Lorelei: Bye.

After getting out of the office, I went straight to the cafeteria. I need to change my plan for the Fourth Holy Grail War. I can't kill Uryuu anymore. *That guy* would know immediately if I stop the summon of Gilles de Rais. I can't afford to anger him now. Not with my current state. That monster didn't die even after being killed 30 times by Touko Aozaki. Plus one last time. So, 31 times. And I need to thank that old worm for being his natural repellent. He couldn't participate in Fuyuki Holy Grail Wars because of that ra*e worm gramps. I need to be really cautious in the Holy Grail War then. With the idea of being the master of Caster is out, I need to think whose place I should take place. Three Knight Classes are a big NO. Saber is Einzberns. Archer is Tohsaka. And I can't force a Lord to give up his position in Holy Grail War. So, Lancer is also no. Rider is also BIG NO as Broskander is needed for the character development of Waver. I don't know how he became Lord El-Melloi II in Apocrypha universe but I'm sure Iskander also plays a big part in there. Caster, as I said before, no. As for Berserker, even if I adopted Sakura, Zouken will try to find a way to make Kariya be the master of Berserker. So, the only one left is Assassin. I can try and make it work. I can try and teach Kirei how to play pranks just like I've read in a fanfic. Okay. Assassin it is then.

After eating, I went back home as I can't take any assignment because I need to be ready for tomorrow. At 6:30 P.M., I went to the clock tower to pick up Lorelei and went to our usual place. Goodbye my wallet, I'll be missing you. At least I don't have bad luck with money like certain magenta hair enforcer. After eating, we went back to my home walking while holding hands. Good thing that both of her hands are still here. When we got home, changing into pajamas, we went straight into bed. I don't want to tire her more than she currently is. So, we cuddle each other and went to sleep.
