(I just woke up and these announcements bombed their way here. I'm in a good mood so I will not mind it. Take a bath, then summon a new Servant. I also need to use my Gate of Truth Stand Arrow.) (Sai)

When Sai opened his eyes, a rowdy scene greeted him.

"Oh! This person is awake! I can't believe that your Dark Arts will work!" (Genius Next Door)

"Kuhuhu! Revere me more, mortal!" (Blackish Fallen Angel Something Something)

"At least be respectful! What would we do if he became angry?!" (Sweet and Spicy Personality)

"I'm sorry for having you wake up like this." (Defiant Red Mesh)

"Good morning. Don't worry, I made sure they didn't do any pranks while you were asleep." (Goddess of Kindness)

"...." (Sai)

(Am I hallucinating? I need my glasses.) (Sai)

Sai reached out for his eye glasses and he put it on. He props his glasses twice and he confirmed that he was not hallucinating. (Author Note: Sai glasses propping is the same as Saiga Jouji from Psycho Pass.)

A petite girl with long purple light hair in curled pigtails with matching forelocks and straightened bangs paired with big, sharp crimson eyes is acting like a dark mage you see in some anime.

And besides the petite girl, is another girl with shoulder-length wavy teal hair and sharp green eyes. Her bangs are brushed towards the right and some sections of her hair are braid held by tiny yellow bows. Her eyes are sparkling towards the petite girl's acts.

A girl with black hair with short bangs partially tucked beneath her forelocks, one which is dyed red. She looks at me with sharp dark red eyes with an apologetic attitude for the ruckus that is happening.

Lastly, a girl besides me has long, wavy, soft brown hair with thin curled forelocks and long, thin bangs. A part of her hair is in a ponytail. She gently gazes me with her curvy green eyes.

Sai is about to speak when he heard the voice outside the room.

"Sai, are you awake? I'm knocking several times and you're not responding." (Yukina)

Goddess of Kindness look at the direction where Yukina's voice came from.

"Yukina!" (Goddess of Kindness)

"Lisa is there?" (Yukina)

"It really is you, Yukina!" (Goddess of Kindness to Lisa)

"Lisa?!" (Yukina)

"Oh my (Read as: Ara)!" (Chisato)

"Whoa!" (Saaya)

"Imai-san?!" (Sayo & Rinko)

After Lisa's assault, Genius Next Door and Blackish Fallen Angel Something Something suddenly locked their sight on their targets and did the same thing as Lisa.

"Onee-chan/Rin-rin!" (Genius Next Door/ Blackish Fallen Angel Something Something)

"Hina/Ako-chan?!" (Sayo/Rinko)

"How could the three of you assault people on sight like that?!" (Sweet and Spicy Personality)

"Ahaha, Arisa is still Arisa no matter what place, huh. What a relief." (Saaya)

"You're here, too, Saaya?!" (Sweet and Spicy Personality to Arisa)

"This is getting out of hand." (Defiant Red Mesh)

"It's better if you get used to it, Ran-chan." (Chisato)

(Author's Note: Everyone here is wearing their clothes in their first card in the game. I just went for the shortcut since I'm lazy.)

Sai is looking at the ruckus these girls are causing. As he watched a thought came into his mind.

(This life I'm living right now, is different from the ones I had until now. In the past, I have nothing. That's why, I was able to be invincible. I only had myself, there's nothing to restrain me, betray me, or drag me down. This is not the case now. The world and me are irreconcilable, bitter enemies until the end. If these carefree times that I'm experiencing is dream, surely, there will be a time for me to wake up. As long as this world, doesn't interfere with me, I will leave it alone. I already achieved my revenge, and I was left with emptiness. However, I cannot be so sure that the world will leave me alone.) (Sai)

(I gained my complete self; thus, I need to make a decision.) (Sai)

Sai closed his eyes. It only took an instant, but the decision he made is resolute.

(Okay, this time it is for real. But before anything, I need to know what's going on with these girls.) (Sai)

Sai clapped his hands to gain the girls' attention.

"All right, can someone explain me what's going on?" (Sai)

Flashback: Back to several hours ago.

In the Mysterious Space

"This place is…?" (Yukina)

"Welcome. Although it is rude action of mine to call you here suddenly, I need to do this immediately. I ask for your understanding." (Mysterious Girl)

Yukina looked at the place where the voice originated and saw a girl walking towards her. The girl looks the same age as her. She has her gray hair tied on a ponytail that reaches her waist. She is wearing a sailor school inform that is color black. And the way the girl stare at her with her gray eyes was similar to Sai for some reason.

"I see, so that's how it is. Our betrayal was discovered and we will be disposed one-by-one. Isn't that right, Operator-sama?" (Yukina)

"Dispose? That's not my intention in calling you here. In addition, we didn't view what happened as betrayal. In fact, we are very pleased on the data we gained. With that data, we can prevent the same thing from happening. And feel free to call me Alviria, Yukina-san." (Mysterious Girl to Operator to Alviria)

"Then, Alviria-san. Why did you call me here?" (Yukina)

"Three reasons. First, to solve your problems. Second, to give you the things we must return. And third, to ask your consent for the system upgrade." (Alviria)

"...…." (Yukina)

"Let me discuss the first. Although Fath-, no, Sai-sama has given you an unbelievably accurate data, your personification has been solidified by giving you Goddess Cores, your composition is still unstable. Thus, as token of appreciation to the data we gained, we decided to help you with that. We will have fuse with the real ones." (Alviria)

"Fuse? Will that change us drastically?" (Yukina)

"Oh, that. There's no need for worry. It will affect your emotions or anything of the sort, probably." (Alviria)

(Probably…?) Yukina can only be silent at her.

"Second. We pulled all items from the Gacha that formerly belonged to Sai-sama. We will put the items in his inventory, so please inform him." (Alviria)

"Third. It's about the System Upgrade we were planning." (Alviria)

"You said you want me consent. Why is that?" (Yukina)

"It's because the upgrade will be an experimental one based on the data, we gathered from you. We plan to add the Assistant Function, where you can have an assistant to assist you. It's boring if you only look at the letters of your terminals and click all the time, right? Another reason for this feature is the mental health of the ones that we will have use the System Terminal. We could at least give someone to accompany them. As compensation, we will give the cutting-edge features because the risk is high. That way, you will have a greater advantage from the other System Terminal holders." (Alviria)

Yukina weighs the risk and returns.

(If the upgrade caused malfunction, it will more or less damage the Terminal. But we will not be affected since we have independent bodies. If that happens, all we need to do is to ask for another Terminal. If the upgrade became a success, it will give us more edge. The System is unbiased and only decides what action to take based on merits and demerits. In that case, I must give Sai more advantage.) (Yukina)

"So, what is your choice?" (Alviria)

"I accept." (Yukina)

"Very well." (Alviria)

"On another note, the upgrade and fusion will be done by the time Sai-sama wakes up. And since you are understanding, I'll add more presents (Read as: troubles) for Sai-sama." (Alviria)

"Ah, thank you very much…?" Yukina was unsure to what to say since what Alviria said felt different from what she actually meant. She herself was unsure and decided to ignore it.

________________________________________________________________________

Back to the present

Everyone is sitting on the floor while listening to Yukina's explanation.

"So, that is what happened, huh? And the presents are them, huh." (Sai)

"By the way, Sai. Your eyes…they became color black." (Yukina)

"Hmm?" Sai used Creation to create a palm-sized mirror and confirm it himself.

And he saw that his eyes did turn to black from its former blue color.

"Well, there's no need to worry about it. There are no abnormalities in my body. Back to the topic…" Sai stand up and walk towards Yukina.

Yukina is nervous since she made the decision without Sai's approval (even though she has no way of contacting him, since he was solving his own problems). She should have waited for Sai to wake up before agreeing.

She clenched her fists and waited for Sai's verdict.

Sai placed his right hand above Yukina's head and gently pat her. Yukina is astonished, she looked at Sai with her wide-open eyes.

"Thank you for the hard work." (Sai)

"B-but…" (Yukina)

"What, you thought I would punish you for calling the shots while I'm out of commission? You were able to handle the deal properly and you gave me another advantage against my competitors. That's why, I'm praising you here." (Sai)

With Sai's words and his touch, Yukina can only blush.

Chisato looks at the two intensely, Sayo is fidgeting while throwing sneak glances, Rinko stares at them with anticipation, and Saaya looks at the girls with a wry smile.

Sai obviously knew that they are also expecting the same 'reward', since Yukina also told this to them before deciding. After 'rewarding' the four, the girls went to the kitchen to make breakfast. And Sai is the only one in his room, or it should be…

"I know you are there. Will you still continue to go hiding?" (Sai)

A person appeared in the corner of the room. That person holds a black hat that is similar to a witch's hat.

"Hades' Cap of Invisibility, huh." (Sai)

"I apologize for concealing myself. I'm just worried about you're state earlier, so I watched over you." (Gilgamesh)

Sai can only smile wryly at her.

"That's not the only reason why you waited until it's only the two of us, right? It can't be helped, I will 'spoil' you this time." Sai walked towards Gilgamesh.

"Th-that is…" (Gilgamesh)

Sai removed the seal he made with Imperial Privilege on his skills. He removed his True - Congealed Wisdom and placed it on his pocket. He retrieved the Gate of Truth: Requiem Arrow and stabbed it to himself and the arrow went inside him.

[Congratulations! You have gained the Stand, Gate of Truth: Requiem.] 

"You want to see this 'me'. At the same time, you want me to 'love' you, despite knowing what it truly means. What a troublesome employee." (Sai)

(Those eyes, it's different from yesterday. When you stare at them, it feels like it will suck out your soul. Such a wonderful sight.) (Gilgamesh)

"Kneel down." Sai ordered Gilgamesh shortly, and the latter complied immediately. She kneeled down on one knee with her head hanged down.

Sai holds her cheeks and gently raised her head.

"Now speak the words you wish to say." (Sai)

"Sai-sama, my Master, my lord. Allow me to pledge myself to you." (Gilgamesh)

"That's right. Even if you have been given your physical body, one that is equivalent to the one you possess in your life, even if you don't need my Mana to exist, you know it from the very core of your being, you belong to me." Sai speaks as if he is stating natural facts.

"Yes, please use me however it pleases you, Master." Gilgamesh speaks with a sweet voice. This shows that she is pleased at Sai subordinating her.

[Cupid's Arrow has been activated! Gilgamesh's affection is on maximum levels.]

Gilgamesh is currently experiencing Sai's Physique of Everlasting Resplendence Feature: Irresistible Allure and Trickster skill. Since Irresistible Allure is combination of skills of attraction at EX rank with the addition of Ten Thousand Colored Stagnation, if one looks at Sai they will be enthralled. That's why Sai sealed it with his Imperial Privilege.

"I will overwrite now, is that okay?" Sai asked a rhetoric question.

"Please do." Gilgamesh agreed without hesitation.

A white silhouette with the shape of Sai appeared behind him. This is Sai's Stand, The Gate of Truth. Of course, this is not visible to Gilgamesh, since she is not a Stand user.

A black book appeared in The Gate of Truth's left hand and a white pen on its left hand. The title of the book is 'Gilgamesh'. The Gate of Truth open the book and starting writing. After it was finished writing, it closed the book and it disappeared.

"Good work, Gate of Truth." (Sai)

"Master, this is…" Gilgamesh eyes became blank and then it quickly regained its light. This time, the only one reflected on her eyes is Sai and nothing else.

"Let's go. After we take breakfast, we will summon a new Servant." Before she knew it, Sai is already hold her hand and assisted her to stand up. Sai released her hand and began walking out of the room as he pulls out his True – Congealed Wisdom from his pocket and puts it on. And sealed Irresistible Allure with his Imperial Privilege.

"Yes, my Master." Gilgamesh said as she walks to catch up to Sai.
