Chapter 1: Beginning
The Chaldea Security Organization wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I thought about changing the world, so when I was given the chance to join the Fate/Grand Order, I jumped at the opportunity. Now, as I turned a corner, I found myself admiring Gorgon's serpentine hair as she sat on a bench like some Greek deity in jeans and a green leather jacket. Her dark eyes flashed, and she lifted an eyebrow. "Like what you see?
I can't help but notice you admiring me," she said, her voice a low purr. "I know you mortals think we immortals have nothing better to do than sit around all day, but I promise you, I have many talents." She winked at me, and my cheeks flushed.
Gorgon was a Servant, like me, brought into existence to fight for the sake of mankind. She was a gorgon with snakes for hair and a body to die for.
I found myself at a loss for words, which was unusual for me. I'd faced her in battle before, but now, in this dimly lit chamber, she seemed to embody temptation.
Gorgon leaned back on the bench and crossed her arms, waiting for my response. I swallowed hard and tried to speak normally. "I-I'm just admiring your sense of style," I stuttered. "You look great."
She smiled, her eyes filled with mischief. "Oh, I know I do," she said. "But you're missing the point.
I'm not just some pretty face here to make things more interesting," she continued, her voice still a low purr. "I can offer you something far more valuable than that."
I raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" I asked, curious despite myself.
Gorgon leaned forward, her fingers tapping playfully on the stone floor. "Dinner. Tonight. I want you to join me for something private, just the two of us." She batted her lashes, her gaze locked on mine, and I felt a strange thrill run through me.
I knew she was a powerful Servant, and a temptress by nature, but seeing her like this, so charming and seductive, was something new.
"Dinner," I repeated, trying to steady my voice. "Just the two of us."
Gorgon smiled. "Yes, dinner. We can get to know each other better, without the distractions of Chaldea and our duties as Masters and Servants. I'll show you another side of me, a more vulnerable one.
Come to my chamber tonight, and I'll give you a night you won't forget. I'll make sure to take good care of you."
The heat in her words made my stomach flip. I found myself nodding wordlessly, unable to utter a single coherent sentence. She knew how to make me weak.
I checked my watch. It was still early afternoon, but tonight couldn't come soon enough. As I made my way back to my own chamber, my mind filled with images of Gorgon's body, covered only in the dark fabric of her jacket and fitted pants.
My heart raced, my thoughts consumed by her invitation. I had never done anything like this before, but I wanted to. I wanted to see what lay beneath her seductive exterior.
My mind raced as I tried to focus on my work, but I couldn't. I kept checking the clock, counting down the hours until I would see her again. My pulse quickened as I knocked on her door, my heart thumping in my chest, my stomach twisting itself into knots.
I knew what I was getting myself into, but I wanted it all the same. I couldn't help but think about Gorgon's words and how she promised to take good care of me tonight.
The door swung open, revealing Gorgon in a low-cut red dress that clung to her like a second skin. "Ritsuka, I'm delighted you could make it," she purred, her voice sultry and alluring. "Come in, come in.
