Dry cleaning is a potential cover but most likely useless. I can't see that being anywhere popular enough to justify too much work under the table.

As for the food stall, apparently soon. Athena decided to fund one and make me work at it. If you yell at enough people, we can probably get enough business to make buying far too much food easy to hide.

[codere]

Great, so now it's my responsibility to make sure you profit at your work.

What about your other job?

[swordboning]

You don't need to worry about profiting because no money is coming out of our pockets.

....which other job?

[Kind of working him bum off honestly.]

[codere]

The job that currently provides us with money.

Did you quit? Did you quit your job without telling me?

[swordboning]

No, it's more than I'm working multiple jobs and need you to specify. They all provide money too.

[codere]

As long as the money doesn't stop coming in. I need it.

[ For computer parts that aren't dug out of the trash can. ]

[swordboning]

I understand.

Do you have any other specific instructions? As a suggestion, I'd ask Saber to search for any place that is rarely visited or walked by.

[codere]

With the way she dresses? She'd stick out like a sore thumb.

I need someone who won't attract attention to do that. While you'd be the most ideal person seeing as you can slip into spirit form, I have you busy doing too many other things.

[swordboning]

Make her wear something different. Saber has superior instincts so you'd be foolish to not use that.

[codere]

No, I have someone else in mind that could go undetected. No one would question him poking around in abandoned places because he's already fairly odd.

[ Sorry Archer, she's thinking of someone specific. ] Saber needs to stay with me.

[swordboning]

Fine. I'd prefer you stay safe either way. Just to be sure, when I'm not around, she's at your side at all times?

[codere]

Of course.

I'll have to start coming with you on these various runs of yours if I can't be with her at work. What a pain, but it is what it is. I can't complain now that I've put a target on my back.

[ She sounds disappointed in herself. ]

[swordboning]

I don't mind carrying you around. I only mind it when you're intentionally being lazy. But should I ask?

[codere]

I don't need to actually be carried.

Believe it or not, I can run really well.

Well, you probably don't trust me when I say things of that nature, but that's all right. I'll prove it someday.

[swordboning]

No matter how well you run, you won't be as fast as me. I'll carry you.

[Whelp, dropping that one topic.]

[codere]

Some things we can't outrun.

You were busy at work today, right?

[swordboning]

Somewhat. Is there something you need to know?

[codere]

No, but there's something you need to know.

Your Master was foolish.

[swordboning]

How so? I'm going to doubt that.

[codere]

There was a strange post made earlier in the evening.

During it, I allowed my ego to inflate and got ahead of myself. Admitted some of what I could do.

[swordboning]

The keyword is some. That much is fine. Just don't show your full capabilities for a while.

[codere]

It's unlikely they will eliminate me due to what I read in another conversation.

Good thing I thought said that instead of verbally said that.

Anyway, I think it'll be okay in the end. I'll be on edge for a long time. I was just starting to let my guard down and that was childish of me.

[swordboning]

Whatever mistakes you think you've made, I'll make up for them. That's my role as a Servant. Saber will also do the same. So don't fret.

[codere]

Thank you, Archer.

It's a good thing I have you here. Sometimes I don't think Saber understands the severity of our situation.

[swordboning]

Saber doesn't know about much of anything but fighting. Take her out of her element and she's like an amphibian out of water who is just realized that it can breathe.
