1 Prologue Pt 1 Smile (1/2)
It was a beautiful summer night. Maybe night wasn't the best term but it was nearly nine and the sun still hadn't set. The way it's diminishing light slowly fell over the horizon made a man sitting by himself in a park bench smile unconsciously.
”I can't believe they actually announced a new Tsukihime anime. So glad Ufotable picked up their game. It's been way too overdue”.
The man rolled a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.
He had long hair that reached his shoulder blades and had a small stubble around his chin. He was wearing what appeared to be a very expensive black suit, complete with a shirt, vest and pants. However his normal jacket was replaced with a red trench coat that had a yellow scarf around the collar. Although it was peculiar, it wasn't by any means ugly.
Flicking his lighter on he took a large drag from his cigarette.
The man held his breath before shooting a large breath of smoke that traveled almost a meter before dispersing.
”Damn that was far. Did I mix the weed and tobacco bags?”.
The man looked to his left and right and only sat back down relaxing.
”Whatever, it's not like people actually come this way anyway”, tilting his head back he looked straight up into the sky, the stars beginning to shine as the sun grew dimmer and dimmer.
”That convention day was really busy though. I can't believe I bought so much stuff”, looking around him, there was half a dozen bags filled to the brim and a single backpack on the park bench beside him. All of it had one thing in common.
It all belonged to the Nasu's Type-Moon universe.
Posters of Rin Tohsaka, Arcueid Brunestud, Ryougi Shiki and a plethora of other characters were all contained in one bag. Figures of Artoria Pendragon, Ishtar, Enkidu and many more were in other bags. Manga and Anime of the final installment of the Heaven's Feel Trilogy, in both DVD and Blue-Ray. And an assortment of other items and gadgets were in the remaining bags.
”I think I'll need to skip the next summoning banner in F/GO... nah! I still don't have NP5 Scathach and Brynhildr”. The man gave a hearty laughter that would've caused anyone to look at him weirdly if anyone was actually in the park.
The man got up and stretched his body a little, ”Well, time to go home. I've got a lot of things to unpack and an even greater amount of liquor to make me feel good about myself for a few hours. Time to go home”.
With a burst of strength the man lifted up all the bags, which easily weighed several kilograms and walked out of the park and to the main road.
Whistling a song while still smoking the cigarette the man had a fantastic smile on his face and pressed the button to cross the road. He noticed a young girl with white hair eyes standing next to a woman with white hair and red eyes as well.
”Ah! Illya and Irisviel, very nice”, said the man.
The mother with her child gave the man a once over before giving a polite smile as well, ”Good evening Zhuge Liang, or should I say Lord El-Melloi II”.
Placing the cigarette in the bin the man knelt down to the little girl and asked, ”What's your favorite character?”.
The little girl hid behind her mothers leg before saying in a voice just above a whisper, ”Angra Mainyu”.
The man nearly chocked on his own spit before looking at the little girls mother.
