Showdown: Foreigner!

I'm not very good at this sort of task...

I suppose it's enjoyable enough, and I can certainly handle it if I think of it as training...

...but I don't suppose there's a more...athletic way I could help?

I must say, though...this is much more tiring than I thought it would be.

At the beginning, I thought that drawing manga would be easy for Servants like us.

I know what you mean.

Now I understand why Andersen and Shakespeare look so exhausted after one of their long writing sessions.

Yeah.

This creative stuff's a battle with your own mind. Being a Servant doesn't make it any easier.

Anyway, it's about time we

Ugh.

A call now? I've got a bad feeling about this...

...I'll get it...

Hey, it's the manager. That Foreigner's out making a mess of things on Main Street, so I was hoping you could drive her offsay, right now.

Oh, and you might want to be careful. She looks like she really means business this time. Thanks!

...I guess Ushiwakamaru's bad feeling was prescient.

The hell's Jekyll think we are, anyway? Some kind of glorified pest control...?

...No, he was right to come to us. It's easy to forget, but this is why we came here in the first place.

Lady Alter, feel free to keep working on the manga. Master and I will take care of the Foreigner.

Hell no. Even I'm not just gonna focus on my manga to the exclusion of everything else.

Besides, I could use a break after drawing for so long. This oughta do the trick nicely.

Shielder, wake Master up.

All right. I may be woefully inadequate for the task...

...but I'll do my best!

Senpai... Senpai... Master.

Are you dreaming that you're Fou?

No, that's not for another two days. Now please, wake up so we can finish the final draft!

If only defeating the Foreigner automatically completed the manga as well...

？！

Good morning, Master. Here. I made you a café au lait with extra milk and sugar.

Good, I've confirmed the sugar has jolted your brain awake! ...Now come on, we've got work to do!

The Foreigner has showed up on Main Street. We need to drive her away!

...I. Will. Destroy. Everything!

You've already seen this bit, so let's just go ahead and hit the old "Skip" button, shall we?

Way to go, Chaldeans! Once again, you kicked that Foreigner's ass like it was nothing!

(Gasp, gasp)...

It definitely wasn't nothing, BB. Is it just me, or is that Foreigner even stronger now than she was beHm?

Wild Demon Boar! Wild Demon Boar on the loose!

How could this happen!? All I did was make a campfire on Diamond Head!

Do not blame me for this!

There is not a king in the world who would not be inspired to make a campfire at such a beautiful vista!

OOOIIINNNKKK! OOOIIINNNKKK!

What the!? Where'd that Kamapuaʻa wannabe come from!? I don't remember any giant pig thing on my Luluhawa!

Now where did I put that club list... Here it is!

It looks like that thing belongs to Keter Malkuth Hohenheim, one of the Wonder Stage clubs...

Let's see... "1/1 Scale Replica Series: Twrch Trwyth"...

"Ages 17 and up! This life-size figure recreates the original's imposing destructive power in glorious detail! The eroticism of the armor plating that seems as though it's about to fall off at any moment is..."

What is it with Casters and their weirdly specific fetishes!?

I hate to agree with BB, but for once, I think she nailed it!

Looks like we've got one more job to take care of, Fujimaru! We need to stop that machine!

Phew, glad that's all settled. Thanks for the help, Fujimaru.

Pele's influence when I'm in this form is a little too strong for me when it comes to enemies of that type...

It makes it so that, whenever I face a pig monster, I, uh...I end up destroying it so brutally that it makes everyone else cringe.

And nobody wants to see that from a swimsuit-clad beauty, right...?

？！

Anyway, the night is saved now, and it's all thanks to you guys.

I hope you continue to enjoy your stay in Luluhawa! Of course, that goes for your doujin efforts too.

Only two days to go until ServantFes, Jeanne Alter.

I can't wait to see your finished, properly printed book.

Uh-huh.

If you can take first place in sales numbers too, well, that would be just peachy!

I think that's almost certainly asking too much.

I may be an amateur when dealing with doujin, but I don't see any way for a newly formed club like ours to outperform skilled and seasoned veterans.

Yes, I know. It really is much easier said than done, isn't it.

？！

Whoops! That's enough extra hint dropping!

Anyway, this damaged street isn't going to repair itself. Why don't you all go back to the hotel and let little old me handle this?

Enjoy your ServantFes time, Senpai♪

？！

Who, BB?

...I guess I see it.

If she really does have Pele the volcano goddess installed as one of her subfunctions, that'd make her actually kinda badass.

From what I know about Pele, she was a goddess of fire who came to Hawaii from the land of the gods.

Her sister, the goddess of water, ended up killing her, but even that wouldn't keep her down.

She went on to rule Hawaii's volcanoes with her mind alone. From then on, no one could touch her.

She has lots of love to give, but she also takes it away. She's a goddess of civilization who granted fire to the people, and she's also a goddess of destruction who took that same civilization away.

And just like Hawaii's volcanoes are still active, Pele still lives on in Kilauea.

Although...

Although?

...Nah, it's nothing. I'll tell you some other time. Right now, we need to focus on work!

？！
