Chapter 3: (3) First servant
Somewhere on a snowy mountain, a young man with silver hair, red eyes, where his entire body is covered black cloak is walking in a relaxed manner. His attitude made look like he was walking in a park and not a mountain range that has a temperature below zero.
Alexander is running for hours and ends. Being a demi-servant that has high endurance, he doesn't feel tired one bit. Now that he is near to his destination, he takes his time and enjoys the view.
"Hey, Anna. How far are we to the destination."
(Five kilometers, according to my calculations)
"Alright, enough playing around. Let's go,"
With his High Agility, it only takes him half a minute of running before he was able to reach the tallest mountain in the mountain range.
"Anna, do you have any suggestions for infiltration?"
(I have a few recommendations. The first is violence. Alexander would either break in forcefully, take one of their members as a hostage and force them to accept your request, or you do it peacefully. Your number one priority is to gather their trust. You must make sure that you are not a threat to them.)
"The first option is too risky. While the second option is doable, gaining someone's trust is not my forte... Sigh, what to do... Let's just looked for someone from Chaldea and I'll just deal with it when that time comes... Hm? Perfect,"
Alexander's eyes light up when he sensed someone approaching him from the direction of Chaldea.
"Who's there!"
A young beautiful woman in her early twenties approaches him with caution. Behind her, a group of men in black follows behind with guns in their hands.
"State your purposes, you are in the territory of Chaldea. If proven hostile, we will shoot," the young beautiful woman said.
"I came in peace. I was given the task of joining Chaldea by the Mage's association,"
"I was not informed by this... Who send you here?"
"That... I can't say,"
"Then how could we trust you if you are not even going to mention your supervisor?"
"Well, that's because... Ahh, screw it. The one who sent me here is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, the Wizard Marshall,"
Thanks to the knowledge given to him by Alaya, he was able to form an identity on the spot. The reason why he chose Zelretch from the countless magus from the mage association is that he and Alaya had a history. Zelretch is a famous troll that made countless problems that made Alaya troubled, making her hated him.
Alaya punishes him by sending counter guardians(search it on the type moon wiki, too lazy to explain). Giving him endless troubles. Being the champion of Alaya, this title will protect him from Zelretch if he were to bear a grudge against him by using his name.
"Zelretch?! Why didn't you say so earlier!" the young woman was shocked when she found out that Zelretch sends the young man in front of him. She was not to blame because the name Zelretch is very famous. He was one of the only remaining magus who could use the second magic, Kaleidoscope, which allows him to travel to a parallel universe.
"Well, Zelretch told me to never say his name in front of unimportant people,"
"Are you saying I'm not important?! I'm Olga Marie Animusphere. The daughter of Marisbury Animusphere, and the current director of Chaldea,"
'The director? would you look at that... Guess today's my lucky day, saves me a lot of time.'
"Yes, I know you are important my lady but would you please save me from this cold? I'm freezing here,"
"Ohh, right, follow me,"
Using his acting skills he learns from his past life, he was able to fool Olga into believing that he was nothing but a vulnerable human at her mercy.
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you able to find me?"
"Chaldea has a defense mechanism that detects its surroundings for any foreign entities. It's a boundary field that is powered by a reactor name fire of Prometheus,"
After a few minutes of walking in silence. Alexander, Olga, and her men entered the Facility.
****************
It's been a few days since he joined Chaldea as a staff member because he couldn't be trusted yet, he was assigned to a closed white room. He is monitored by the same black-clothed men. He wasn't complaining since he completed the mission of joining Chaldea.
{Quests\Missions}

"(Alexander, do you wish to accept your reward? Accept/Decline? Beware that, the moment you accept you will automatically summon a servant.)"
"Thanks for the warning, Anna. I'll do it later when I'm alone,"
"(As you wish)"
Closing the panel in front of him. Alexander reviews the information he gathers these past few days. He was able to gather a lot of information from the master's candidate to the leaders in Chaldea. The people that stand out the most for him other than the director Olga Marie Animusphere, are the advisor and researcher, Lev Lainur Flauros. A girl name Mash Kyrielight, A boy named Ritsuka Fujimaru, and lastly the head of the medical facility named Romani Archaman.
He couldn't tell why those four stand out the most to him but his instinct is telling him that they are very important people. Following his instinct, he keeps an eye out for those four from afar.
He also spotted a weird squirrel-looking creature running around the place.
*****************
A week later, Alexander is getting used to his life in Chaldea. Although Olga still doesn't fully trust him, she allows him to view the process of which how each master candidate trains. They were put in a battle simulation to gain experience in battle.
And honestly, he was very impressed with the technology in Chaldea. Comparing these technologies to his past life is like comparing the technologies of the agricultural era to the modern times.
In the current moment, he is standing in the back of a room listening to a speech of the director about how Chaldea is the future of humanity, blah blah. Honestly, he doesn't care for all of this. The reason he came here is that Lev is acting very suspicious. At least for him. In the eyes of an ordinary person, he is acting as usual. But today, something is off about him that bothers Alexander.
He starting to have a feeling that something bad was about to happen. Since he wasn't willing to take a major risk, he is planning on summoning his first servant today.
*****************
(Olga's POV)
Watching Alexander leave the room, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Knowing him only for a week, she could tell that he was the type of person that loves to do whatever he wants without care for those around him. Well, that's what she believed was the case.
And these types of person that annoy her the most, With the backing of Zelretch, and thanks to his passive skill, she believes everything he said. She could only stare as he leaves the room.
Dismissing the master candidates, she went to look for lev. Finding him in the cafeteria, alone, laughing slowly. She noticed something was off about him...
"Lev?" She asked, gathering the attention of lev to her.
"Is something the matter?"
"No, it's nothing, director. Do you need me for something?"
Remembering her purpose, she ignores his weird behavior and sat beside him.
"Could you believe..." She complained to Lev about Alexander and how disrespectful he was to her.
"Arghh, he's so annoying!"
"Let's calm now. Why don't you just fired him? If you're worried about Zelretch, then don't be. I already investigate that he and Zelretch have no connection."
"So he lied to me?! I know it!"
"Hmm... Lev? It's weird for you to suggest firing someone. You usually on their side, not mine.'"
"It's normal to distrust someone who has a fake identity, don't you think?"
"That's true..."
*opening futuristic door efx,*
"Director!" One of the staff members called out to her.
"What's the matter?"
"We are ready to start the rayshift,"
"Alright, called out all the master candidates. We will begin shortly..."
*********************
(Alexander's POV)
Entering his room, he mentally prepares himself for his very first summoning of his servant. And without further ado, he opens the panel from his system and navigates to the mission\quest section...
"(Do you wish to accept your reward?
Accept\Decline,)"
Clicking accepts, the golden cup in his inventory appears in front of him. He started to feel weak and drain for a moment, but he was able to gain his balance prior. As he was able to focus once again, a blue circle that appears below the golden cup slowly rotates clockwise. As the circle spins, the bright light that he is so used to at this point temporarily blinded him... The moment he opens his eyes...
A beautiful woman with sakura hair that flows down to her back that reaches to her leg. She wears a blue shrine maiden outfit that barely covers her breast. The most unique feature about her is that she has cat-like ears with a foxtail. She opens her and stares at Alexander in the eyes. They stay like that for a few seconds before the girl walked in front of him.
Alexander's eyes widened when the woman hug his waist and started crying...
"I-I waited for you for 1000 years... *hic* We finally meet, m-my beloved."
Alexander, confused about what to do, he could only return the hug and comfort the woman.
'Uhm, Anna? Could you tell me what the hell is happening?'
"(...I'm sorry Alex, I couldn't help you with this one,)"
'...'
After a few minutes, the woman finally calms down and breaks the hug. She takes a deep breath and puts on the most beautiful smile that Alexander has ever seen.
"Hubby, I will be your most reliable shrine maiden fox, call me Tamamo-no-Mae!"
Her cheerfulness caught Alexander off guard. Not wanting to be rude he follows up with his introduction.
"I'm Alexander Lampros, your master. Nice to meet you, Tamamo. I hope we get along,"
"Hm!" She nodded her head enthusiastically.
"Um, Tamamo, why did you call me you're your beloved?"
"Hm? Well, I heard a voice that said that the one who will summon me will be my destined one. I accept the contract and before I know it, I was in front of you." She said while holding Alexander's hand.
"Contract?"
"Hm! it was different from the usual master and servant relationship. Our bond is like that of marriage, till death do us apart! If you think it like that, we are like husband and wife!"
'Anna, what is she talking about?'
"(The true holy grail that you use is different from the traditional summoning of servants. Your grail summons the servants from the throne of heroes, not as a heroic spirit but more like summoning their true soul with a body. Meaning, you summon the original and not a memory or a concept. They will remain by your side until either you die or they die. Although they still have the characteristics of a servant like hiding by entering their spiritual forms...)"
[An: This is a Bullshit I come up with, don't mind the details too much.]
'Wait, true soul and body?'
"(Yes, they are real living being capable of reproduction,)"
'Why do you have to mention the last part,'
"(I just want to let you know so that in the future if your planning on making children-)"
'I have to stop you there, lady. It's too early for me to think about that kind of stuff,'
"Umm, hubby, are you okay?"
Remembering Tamamo who cutely stares at him with concern, making his heart skip a beat.
"I'm fine, Tamamo... I don't know how to say this... Could we start unhurriedly? I don't mind you calling me hubby, but let's start things slowly and get to know each other."
Alexander is a big ass Virgin in his past life. From the moment he was born to the day he died, he has no experience with handling a woman. Being called 'hubby' by a beautiful woman was something that he never believed would happen to him. It's not that he is insecure, but he is a serial killer whose life is at the edge of a cliff, 24/7. Having a relationship with a woman is but a concept he never thought of that he would experience in his life.
Tears started to form in Tamamo's eyes once again making Alexander panicked.
"Wait, why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?"
Shaking her head, "that's not it, I'm just happy. I could finally found someone who sees me not as a monster but as a woman."
"I see, then I'm glad-"
*Boom*
"Hub- No, master. Stay behind me!"
"Don't worry, the explosion is quite far away. Let's investigate for now. Tamamo, you can hide your presence right?"
"Yes, master. I can, I'll protect you from the dark. Please be careful, okay?"
Alexander flashes her a smile which made her blushed. Departing from his room, he went in the direction of the explosion...
(An: I choose her as the first servant because of her tragic past. I want her to have a pleasant and happy life in this story. I will change her personality a bit to a more reserved and quiet woman to strangers but cheerful and mischievous to those she is close with.)
