1 Prologue Pt 1 Smile

It was a beautiful summer night. Maybe night wasn't the best term but it was nearly nine and the sun still hadn't set. The way it's diminishing light slowly fell over the horizon made a man sitting by himself in a park bench smile unconsciously.

"I can't believe they actually announced a new Tsukihime anime. So glad Ufotable picked up their game. It's been way too overdue".

The man rolled a cigarette and placed it in his mouth.

He had long hair that reached his shoulder blades and had a small stubble around his chin. He was wearing what appeared to be a very expensive black suit, complete with a shirt, vest and pants. However his normal jacket was replaced with a red trench coat that had a yellow scarf around the collar. Although it was peculiar, it wasn't by any means ugly.

Flicking his lighter on he took a large drag from his cigarette.

The man held his breath before shooting a large breath of smoke that traveled almost a meter before dispersing.

"Damn that was far. Did I mix the weed and tobacco bags?".

The man looked to his left and right and only sat back down relaxing.

"Whatever, it's not like people actually come this way anyway", tilting his head back he looked straight up into the sky, the stars beginning to shine as the sun grew dimmer and dimmer.

"That convention day was really busy though. I can't believe I bought so much stuff", looking around him, there was half a dozen bags filled to the brim and a single backpack on the park bench beside him. All of it had one thing in common.

It all belonged to the Nasu's Type-Moon universe.

Posters of Rin Tohsaka, Arcueid Brunestud, Ryougi Shiki and a plethora of other characters were all contained in one bag. Figures of Artoria Pendragon, Ishtar, Enkidu and many more were in other bags. Manga and Anime of the final installment of the Heaven's Feel Trilogy, in both DVD and Blue-Ray. And an assortment of other items and gadgets were in the remaining bags.

"I think I'll need to skip the next summoning banner in F/GO... nah! I still don't have NP5 Scathach and Brynhildr". The man gave a hearty laughter that would've caused anyone to look at him weirdly if anyone was actually in the park.

The man got up and stretched his body a little, "Well, time to go home. I've got a lot of things to unpack and an even greater amount of liquor to make me feel good about myself for a few hours. Time to go home".

With a burst of strength the man lifted up all the bags, which easily weighed several kilograms and walked out of the park and to the main road.

Whistling a song while still smoking the cigarette the man had a fantastic smile on his face and pressed the button to cross the road. He noticed a young girl with white hair eyes standing next to a woman with white hair and red eyes as well.

"Ah! Illya and Irisviel, very nice", said the man.

The mother with her child gave the man a once over before giving a polite smile as well, "Good evening Zhuge Liang, or should I say Lord El-Melloi II".

Placing the cigarette in the bin the man knelt down to the little girl and asked, "What's your favorite character?".

The little girl hid behind her mothers leg before saying in a voice just above a whisper, "Angra Mainyu".

The man nearly chocked on his own spit before looking at the little girls mother.

"She thinks the character is misinterpreted. That the only reason he became bad was because of the way he was treated", the Irisviel look a like said shaking her head.

Placing his hand in the bag he rummaged around a little big before pulling out a Card with the Angra Mainyu Servant on it. He handed it to the little girl who took it with an innocent smile.

"Thanks mister!". The little girl put the card in her pocket before going back to hold her mother's hand.

The lights turned green and the three walked across the road, the man and the woman talking a bit not noticing that the Angra Mainyu Card fell out of her pocket.

"Ahh!". The little girl pulled away from her mothers hand and ran back to collect the Card, not noticing the on coming truck.

"Shion! Wait!", the mother went to run after her daughter but twisted her ankle as she turned around. Her red contacts watering as she reached out her hand, trying to reach her daughter.

The woman only saw a flash of red before hearing her daughter scream and heard the sound of flesh hitting concrete.

The truck made a screeching sound as it tried to stop but the drive came out of the vehicle, already on the phone to the ambulance.

"Hello? 991 what's your emergency?".

"I just hit a guy with my truck! I have no idea what to do!".

"Calm down sir, I've got your location and an ambulance en route".

The mother who was shaking believing her daughter had just died heard a voice that brought tears to her eyes.

"Mama!", the Illyasviel look-a-like, all dressed up in her purple coat and hat ran up to her mother with tears in her eyes.

"Mama! Mama! Mister he-". The little girl held onto her mother for dear life and cried into her white coat. The woman turned around and saw the bags of merchandise and then looked at the body over a dozen feet away.

She heard a coughing sound and ran over to the Waver cosplayer who was covered in blood.

"Hey... over here". She heard the man say.

Gathering her courage the mother took her daughter in her arms and walked over to the man.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! You saved my daughters life!", the woman kept couldn't control the tears and let them flow while holding onto the man's bloody hand.

The man tried to say something but moved his head in the direction of his bags and muttered, "Take... yours... now...". Blood was continuously dribbling down his mouth and onto his yellow scarf.

"No! Your still alive! The ambulance is on its way! You'll-", the woman started shouting but stopped when she saw the man's face.

He was smiling.
