Chapter 447 Additional Scene.

A/N

Forgot to post this and it wasn't until someone said something that I realized it. Here's the Rin scene I forgot to add to the previous chapter.

Despite the sense of urgency, I allow myself to enjoy these last few minutes of relative peace before I departed.

I got everything I needed, and I felt good on that front.

Nothing more needed to be said between myself and the others, it’s not like I was getting up to trouble. The pillar I stood on now game with certain responsibilities, and everyone understood that.

So, Artoria and I were just silently enjoying each other’s company.

Was she worried? Most probably, but it’s a default reaction that I think anyone would have in her situation. And It’s not like I’m walking to my death or anything absurd like that.

Regardless, I always enjoyed quality time with any of my girls.

“Rin has returned.” Artoria informed me before the door even opened.

The door swung open to a very confused Rin. “So I just came home and there’s a giant Boat in the front lawn. Is that going to be a normal thing now?”

“Probably.”

“Alright.” She accepted it very quickly. “Heard you were in Skyrim for a bit, did you just get back?”

“Mmm, yup. About to leave again, going to the Norse Realms for some stuff.” I nodded. “That reminds me, how long did you spend in Skyrim?”

“Ugh, a few weeks, why?”

“No reason.” I hummed. “What did you do again?”

She plopped down on the couch opposite of us. “Went exploring a bunch of tombs and crap. Lots of undead, and those spiders.” She shuddered. “But yeah, we were tracking down the legends on that Bow.”

“Did you find any clues?”

“A few.” Rin sounded proud. “We’ll hit it again soon, it’s just…..needed a break from that.”

“I get it.”

“Yeah.” She paused. “Why are you asking?” Her eyes narrowed. “Are you going to try and find it too? Good luck, Saber and I turned over way too many places so we’re far ahead of you if you want to jump on this train.”

“Uh huh.”

She looked at me, her expression slowly shifting to a scowl. “You did something.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I smiled happily.

“Spill it, Schweinorg!”

“Oh hey, is that Valkyrie around?”

“Oh, I was walking around the city with her earlier until her boss popped up.” She answered with a strange tone before quickly snapping back to her annoyance. “Don’t distract me!”

“Anyways, I got this cool new toy in Skyrim. Wanna see it?” I offered.

“….no.” A small smidge of realization dawned on her.

“You sure? It’s pretty cool.”

“You did not!”

“It’s a Bow. Bit of a coincidence, don’t you think?”

“I swear to God, Schweinorg!”

“Here, take a look.” I took out the Bow of Auriel and put it on the table between us.

“Is that….?”

“Is it what?” I asked with faux ignorance. “Oh, this is the Bow of Auriel. Have you heard of it before?”

Rin started to vibrate in place. “I hate you so much.”

“What’s that? I didn’t quite hear you.”

“How!?” Rin shouted. “We searched forever! We went through so many tombs, spiders!!!!”

“Well, it’s quite the story. We traveled to the ends of the world, confronted an Evil God. We slayed several Dragons, and saved millions of people. Fulfilled a prophesy even, and nearly died many times along the way.”

“Really?” Rin’s eyes widened.

“Pfft, no. The original owner told us where it was and we just flew there and picked it up from some stupid Vampire that was holding it.”

“Raaaaaaaah!”
