A couple of hours later Shirou and Liz entered the school grounds of Kuoh, the university was still going normally but the rest had their capacities reduced with only some clubs meeting at the moment. The residents of the Emiya household were both carrying bags with two on Liz's hands and a briefcase in Shirou's right and a bag on his left.
Getting to the club they see Akeno getting inside. "Ara, don't you two are here a little bit early?" The question carried her usual teasing attitude.
"I brought some stuff for my match and also wanted to start with the cake early." Baking can be difficult and even if Shirou has good practice there is nothing wrong with an early start.
"Is that why Liz looks so tired." The poor white haired woman was looking about to pass out.
"She stayed awake watching a marathon of an anime she likes." The results were there for all to see. Her face was not bad at all, but her clothes were a mess with jeans with a leg pulled up, a messed sweater and her hair that needs to be combed. Even her disposition is a bit different than normal since the woman could look lazy but was actually quite alert. "The only reason she didn't stay in bed was-"
"Caaaaaaaaake." She says almost zombie-like. "Caaaaaaaaaake."
"Oh my~ she looks about to attack." Akeno teased. "Why don't you go and talk with Buchou for a bit while I take her to one of our extra rooms?"
They enter the club and Shirou asks a thing that was making him curious. "Why are you in the school uniform."
"Oh, we slept here yesterday and I only had other uniforms to change in."
"Are the others here too? If so I can make breakfast for everyone." Akeno just smiled.
"No. Koneko is too young to be awake for the whole day and night, she will probably only show up in the afternoon. Kiba left early while Buchou was waiting for me, he will be here later to watch the spar but I think he will probably have eaten by that point." They stopped in front of one of the many rooms when Akeno opened the door. "I will keep an eye on her, go say hello to Buchou before you move to the kitchen. It would be a shame if you didn't at least say hello."
Shirou didn't disagree with her. "But Liz-"
"CAAAAAAAKE!" Akeno moved to find the white haired woman on a bed.
"After talking with Rias, go make something for her to eat, it will help her more. For now just go and let her with me." The Queen then promptly shooed him out of the room. "Now sho, sho. Let me take care of Liz."
It wasn't that he minded she expelled him from the room, it was that she looked in a hurry to do it. Shrugging he makes his way to Rias' office not noticing that Akeno was watching him leave with a grin.
Making his way, Shirou starts to think on what is going to be for breakfast, either he can go for a classic japanese meal or something else. Both devils liked japanese food well enough but it didn't hurt to check.
Knocking on the door he waits for a few seconds. "It 's open!" That was Shirou's cue to enter and not see Rias in her office. He started to hear a noise of water and looked to a door that he never paid attention to before, he had used most of the time to set up his workshop and read the book of materials.
There he sees a silhouette of a woman, a very familiar one. 'I shouldn't be doing this.' His face goes red and he turns to march out of the room only to trip on his own feet.
"Akeno? Wait for a minute will you. I'm almost done."
'Damn hormones!' Shirou screams in his head while getting up. "It 's me!" He couldn't stop himself from answering. 'Damn it!' "I got here early and just wanted to wish a good morning!"
"Shirou! Good morning!" He heard the shower stop and close his eyes taking a deep breath and in a few moments Rias was there, still drying her hair but she was dressed. "Did something happen?"
Shirou had a more pressing question. "Why is there a shower in your office?" His voice almost cracked.
"Shirou… it always had been there." She explained calmly.
"Yes I just… never paid attention."
"Are you embarrassed again?" Rias gave a shot and his red face told it all. "That is so cute." His ears were redder than her hair at that point.
"Why did you tell me to enter?" The male redhead tried to change the subject.
"I thought it was Akeno." It was with that comment Shirou knew the reality of his situation, the realization must have shown on his face because Rias laughed a little. "She setted you up." Even if the Queen couldn't see the result she was probably laughing at his expense.
"I'm going to the kitchen." Before he left Rias placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Shirou, is completely normal for a boy of your age to have those feelings." She said with a serious face.
"Take a deep breath Shirou." He mumbles to himself much for her amusement. "I can either go to the kitchen and make a good breakfast or you can go make it."
"That is a great idea." Rias got excited. "We can cook together!"
"Promise to not tease me?" It was a request made by a man that wished for peace.
"Of course, I think you had enough for today… Akeno on the other hand…" And wasn't that scary?
Finally Shirou decided to place the briefcase on the devil's table before opening it. Inside was EM, the scalpel was in a velvet purple pillow that looked fancy but was for practicality. "The briefcase is keyed to open by me or by the last person who closes it. A gift from my sister when I finished my first success."
"And you are going to let it on your forge?" Rias picked the scalpel and examined it. It looked the same as always, polished and sharp.
"Yes but I want you to close it when we get it there." Once Rias placed it back she looked to his other bag.
"And that one?" Shirou smiles a bit.
"My best."
…
Toujou Koneko arrived at the clubhouse last, everyone else either slept there or arrived much earlier. Once she entered the first person to greet her was Setsuna with a nod followed by the others giving her good mornings.
