The bell rang signifying the end of the period and the beginning of lunch startling the Magus. 'Crap. Was I that deep in thought that I didn't even notice the lessons change? I'll have to get the notes from Katase-san or Murayama-san later.' She stood up with a graceful swiftness as she left the room with the three bentos in hand.
As she made her way to the roof she stopped once more as that same faint light scent from this morning was back watching her. Turning her head to where it was coming from she didn't see a thing, but she was pretty sure they could see her. The moment was lost as the scent disappeared leaving her alone to her own devices once again.
With her angelic stalker gone she continued her way to the roof as she opened the door to it. Walking onto the top of the building she spots a head of white hair sitting on one of the benches looking over the courtyard.
"Hey, Koneko-chan, I brought lunch. As usual." The pinkette addressed her junior which caused the yellow-eyed girl to turn around with her ever stoic expression.
"Hello, Emilya-senpai…" A short and concise reply like usual as the second-year sat down next to the first-year.
Emilya placed two of the bentos down next to the slightly taller girl which when she thought of it slightly irked her. 'Okay, I've never really had this problem before since I was taller then mostly everyone but… ugh, I'll just have to deal with it.' The pinkette opened her bento with that thought quickly pushed away.
"So, what does Gremory-senapi want to talk to me about so soon after that Stray hunt?"
"Pink flower…" Koneko muttered as she started to eat her meal, trying to savor the flavor, but was utterly failing in doing so.
"Of course." Emilya sighed out as she took a bite of her chicken with some rice.
How the two of them started to eat with each other was simple. After her first week at Kuoh Academy the Magus got curious as to who this "Koneko-chan" was. So she started her search and she found the young girl shortly after. Her scent was an unusual one at the time, while it did have that sickly sweet scent she also had a secondary one that made her smell like a feline. Emilya wasn't entirely sure how she was related to felines but she was determined to find that out at some other time.
When her eyes first set themselves on the small white-haired girl she had almost thought that she was Illya until she reminded herself that she herself was technically Illya. After she approached the girl she found her to be rather… aloof… in most topics. However, when she mentioned that she could cook she had gained her full attention. The next day she brought a homemade bento for her and from then on the two joined each other on the roof twice a week to enjoy the delicacy that is Emilya's cooking.
The silence between them continued as Koneko moved onto her second bento while Emilya was only halfway done with her own. 'If Saber, Fuji-nee, and Koneko-chan were to ever be brought together at one table I may need the help of multiple chefs and a few Heroic Spirits just to keep them sated. The mere amount of food those three could possibly consume utterly terrifies me.'
Once the two finished off their respective bentos Koneko handed back the two picked clean ones right as the bell rang for the next lesson to begin. The course of the school day continued as usual with the pinkette writing down the notes for the lessons being given this time. The end of the day quickly followed with Emilya getting the Kendo Duo to give her their notes to copy down.
After all of that she found herself standing in front of the Student Council office. She could smell both Sona and Rias waiting for her inside. So without further hesitation she opened the door to get this over with. "I'm here, Sona-kaichou, Gremory-senpai. What is it that you wish to-" She stopped once she noticed the two were just staring at her in curiosity. Almost as if she was something they could understand but couldn't at the same time. A paradox if you would.
Sona was the first to break the strange form of silence that formed with a simple push of her glasses. "It's good to see that you could join us, Einzbern-san. Please have a seat so we can begin."
Emilya followed the ravenette's instructions and sat down on one of the couches facing towards both of the Devils. She already had multiple nameless sword blueprints brought to the front of her mind just in case they tried something. Rias made the next move to speak as she noticed that the child-sized teen was tensed up. "It's okay Emilya-chan. We just want to talk about that flower shaped spell you used last night. I was worried that a defensive spell of that caliber would have used up a lot of magical energy and leave you incapable casting any other spell for a while, but then you called it a… Conceptual Weapon… if I recall properly. I had Akeno look up the meaning of the term and she could only find that it's a weapon that embodies a specific concept."
"So I'm guessing you would like to know what concept that shield was made to counteract?" The two Devils only gave her a brief nod which the Magus could only sigh at. "Well, the concept behind Rho Aias is that it's supposed to be an absolute defense against any thrown weapon. Is that-"
