Overluck MC

"Hello, it's been a while."

A girl with hair and blue eyes. Her clothing is just a simple white gown. Her expression is something you can see in person that reunited with an important and precious friend.

The surroundings are a flower field with a clear azure sky and a gentle breeze passing through the surroundings which negates the heat.

This is literally a picture of paradise. A wonderful land that can only be found in dreams.

"Indeed, it's been a long time." He said in a low tone.

"Hmmm? You're still depressed about it?"

"…"

"What a stubborn man. There's nothing you can do about what happened in the past. And there's no point in being depressed about it. Also, if that is the result of our encounter, then, I would gladly accept it."

"You still the same as ever. Very optimistic and steadfast. I really wished I got that. Well, I'm still guilty about that, but that's only part of it. The main cause is, I'm tired, very tired."

"Tired?"

"Yeah. I'm really tired of everything. I lived for a very long time and grew tired of everything. Continuously moving forward without stopping, improving myself endlessly, and aimlessly sprinting towards a path with no ending. Haha, I'm very naïve back then, aiming to know what's beyond the apex, how childish of me."

"There's nothing wrong in being childish. There is a saying that men will always be boys at heart, that also includes a man with the looks of a girl. Besides, if you're tired, then rest for a while."

"Rest?"

"You already honed yourself. Knowledge, experience, and might. These three aspects of yours are beyond high already. And you honed them while being in the edge, never giving yourself a rest. In that case, you should fully absorb these three while resting."

"Good grief. Even after your death, I always keep relying on these mundane matters."

"I'm doing these because I want to. There's no need to feel reserved."

"Thanks."

"A good-luck charm, just for you!"

The girl smiled and everything went blank.

________________________________________________________________________

"A dream that is too real to be a dream. Perhaps, I just want to return to that night. No matter, a dream is just a dream, there's no point in thinking about it." (Sai)

Sai looked at the sky.

"Ah, Sai! Welcome back!" Saaya speaks to Sai cheerfully.

She holds a cart that contains chickens and boars. Of course, they are dead.

"These animals are?" (Sai)

"They were hunted by Scáthach-san, Sayo-san, and Chisato-san. We asked Gilgamesh-san, Da Vinci-san, and Scáthach-san for help, and they agreed immediately. And after we discussed what we will do, we decided to do a Barbeque Party! Scáthach-san, Shigure-san, Sayo-san, and Chisato-san are in-charge hunting and gathering vegetables. Yukina-san, Rinko-san, and Nagato-san are in charge of cleaning and slicing them. While Gilgamesh-san, Da Vinci-san, Miu-san, and Jenseits-chan are in-charge of adding spices to the meat and vegetables." (Saaya)

"And Saaya is the splendid event planner that made things go smoothly." Sai complimented her with a smile.

"That's going far. I really didn't do anything that much." Saaya laughed it off embarrassedly.

"There's no in-charge of setting up the equipment, right? I will handle it. Since we are going to do a barbeque party, we might as well as do it outdoors." (Sai)

"Okay, then I will leave it to you. As for where you will be placing them, please place them in the garden. I'll be delivering these to Yukina-san and the others so they can begin." (Saaya)

With that, Saaya pushed the cart and go to her destination. Sai proceeded to the garden to set-up the equipment they will be using.

"And there she goes. Saaya is really dependable." Sai muttered as he walks towards the garden.

Pocket Mansion – Garden

"Wooden table a big one, a log-designed long chair, grills, charcoals, and others. Since, the party will start at night, lighting is needed. I can just make them with Creation Magic." And Sai created items and set them in place. He finished fast and decided to fuse some things to pass time.

[The fusion needs the Corpse of the Saint and a Stand Arrow. Would you like exchange something in return of these items?]

"Oho? This is not the autonomous system, rather, this is main body, huh." (Sai)

[Yes.]

"Is that so? If so, everything makes sense. So, what do you want in exchange?" (Sai)

[The Black Lotus Staff and Purification Blade.]

"Heh. The staff of that royal family and the sword used by that hero, huh? It is clear that you are scheming something, but it does not involve me. Umu, I agree to this exchange." (Sai)

[Thank you very much for your cooperation.]

[Fusion is a success.]

[Gate of Truth Arrow is received.]

"There's a lot of things to sort and it will take me more time to finish all of those. I will hold it for now. Still, that system plans to involve the royal family from the Underworld and the Humanity's Empire, huh. All the reason to never go to Erdmitte." (Sai)

Sai looked at the time at his terminal and saw that it was 4:43 PM. Since he got nothing to do, he took out a book from his Akashic records and read it to pass time.

"I wonder if my Stand will be a white silhouette of myself." (Sai)
