Mom come pick me up I'm scared-

[Line break]

"Wait, you don't know anything about this?" My eye twitches as he fiddles with the Kaleidogems.

"Afraid not, master. I've only picked up a couple runes, and they're all combat oriented. Pretty sure they're no help in this situation. Maybe if I was summoned in my Caster form, then I could tell you something. But right now, you're outta luck. Sorry." If you're really sorry, then at the very least look apologetic, not disinterested!

"… Forget it, arguing with you about your capabilities is a foolish move." I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. "So, what can you do exactly?"

He shrugged. "I can fight really well, also had a job as a guard dog once. Got Protection Against Arrows, and I'm fast. Can also take a hit thanks to my Battle Continuation."

"… Explain it to me like I'm six. Only the Protection Against Arrows and the Battle Continuation. We can talk about the guard dog thing later."

"… Alright master. Protection Against Arrows means I can pretty much deflect or dodge any projectile coming at me, as long as the projectile isn't too ridiculous. Don't expect me to dodge or deflect a meteor. And Battle Continuation means I can and will keep fighting. Even if it means having my guts scooped out and tied to a rock, I will stay standing." He puffed out his chest.

"That's oddly specific."

"Yeah, died that way. A major part of my legend as Ireland's Child of Light."

"Ah, you're Irish?"

"Yeah, why?"

"So I suppose I should get more potatoes, then?"

"The fuck are potatoes?" What?

Oh god, he actually looks confused. How does he not know about potatoes- Oh, I see.

Potatoes weren't bought to Ireland until way after his legend, and since there is no Holy Grail to supplement him with extra knowledge of the modern world , there's no way for him to know what a potato is.

Wait, if that's the case, how does he know modern English?

"What are potatoes, Morrow?"

"A vegetable. I'll just buy one for you, alright?" No point in overthinking a question like that. I don't want to know the answer. Too much headaches.

"Ah, come again!" Cu waved goodbye to another customer as I put the money into the register.

"I can't believe you actually found a job, selling fish of all things. The thought of a legendary warrior manning a fish stall just seems wrong to me." I blink.

"Eh, being a legendary hero didn't feed you during your travels. Besides, this is easy, and strangely nostalgic. Like a fuzzy memory of your childhood you can't remember clearly." He muses, a small smile blooming on his face.

"Anything else?"

"Well, I remember being summoned by an orange haired lassie, but she looked at me like I was trash and muttered something about burning and 5 star. My memory then cuts off there. I actually think I died…"

Someone who could kill a servant without them even noticing? Cu Chulainn even had Battle Continuation! What kind of monster is this woman!?

"Ah, young man, what would you recommend?" A blonde man interrupted my train of thought, quickly bringing me and Cu back to reality.

"Ah, I recommend some Sierra Mackerel! They're freshly caught, flavorful, but not as overpowering like the King Mackerel! Quite versatile in dishes as well!" Cu instantly sprung into action. Jeez, is he a Lancer class or a Fisher class?

"I'll take 3, then."

"Heh, coming right up!"

"Hey, wait a sec. Those muscles, aren't from just lifting weights or fishing, are they?" Ah, shit. Does he know? I can't sense any prana from him, but I wouldn't be surprised if he came from a line of magi that specialises in infiltration and sabotage…

"Yup! Though I can say the same to you! You carry yourself with pride and strength!" Eh, Cu? Wait, are you sure it's safe to continue talking with him!?

"Nice eyes, kid. Retired Hunter, Tai Yang at your service." A Hunter?

"Nice to meet you! Cu Chulainn, at your service!" Cu, don't just go around shouting your name- Nevermind, this isn't our original world. You're good. "And this quiet partner of mine is Morrow Curglaff. Say hi, man!" E-Eh!? Don't shove me in the spotlight, Cu!
