- Did you get everything ready for the trip? - I asked the girl as I entered the flat.

- I got the money," she said calmly.

- That's it? - I said, giving her a sidelong glance.

- Yes... Do we need anything else? - the girl asked me.

- Um... Mmmm... Mmmm... Mm-hmm... We need presents, yes!" I remembered exactly what I wanted to take with me. I'm like a super smart person, my brain thinks hundreds of times faster than normal people, but still sometimes I forget simple things.

- And what exactly are you planning to give to your parents? - Semilia asked me, forcing me to use my brain again.

- Well, that's something to think about... There are options, though. I think I'll get them a dishwasher, a new gas cooker, a robot hoover, a washing machine, and a couple of laptops to keep them entertained. You could also get your dad a new pickup truck," I said everything I wanted to buy. There's just one little problem. My parents won't really want to accept such gifts from me. I'm pretty sure they didn't spend a penny of the money I gave them. That's just the way they are.

- Wow, do we even have time to buy all this stuff? We don't have much time if you want to be at your parents' house for dinner. And I doubt very much that you and I are going to go shopping like crazy," she said, and I realised that she was right.

- I have an idea," I said, pulling out my phone, "Neo? Yeah, I'm going to need some help here. Buy all the stuff on that list I'm sending you. And yes, you have fifteen minutes. In case of emergency, have the Hassans run out quickly and get everything. It all has to be outside our house at the right time," I agreed to everything, and without waiting for Neo's response, I hung up.

- You just shifted the responsibility of buying all this stuff to others, didn't you? - she asked me, smiling ironically.

- 'I entrusted an important matter to my subordinate,' I answered her, smiling.

- Yes, I believe you! - she said sarcastically, coming up to me.

I gently hugged the girl, and fixed a lock of hair that fell on her face. Bringing my face close to her, I kissed Semilia gently, putting all my feelings into this action.

- Semilia, do you know... Oh, sorry," Alice came into our room, wanting to ask something, but realising it was a bit of a bad time.- Yeah," I said, pulling away from my partner, "That was awkward.

- Oh, come on, it's no big deal. I'm sure soon you'll seduce her as well as me. Poor naive girl will fall into your lecherous clutches," she said with a smile, running her palm over my face, "Okay, I'll go ask her what she wanted.

I'll go and check how my assignment is going. But first I'll wait for the remaining time, and then I can go to check on my subordinates.

And by the way, I'll need to take ten... no, twenty Hassans with me. They're the only ones who can be trusted to protect my parents. Well, for now, they're the only ones I can trust to protect my parents. But later, I'll trust it to someone else, someone stronger.

I even remember a couple of moments in the comics when my parents were taken hostage to threaten Superman. Even though I wasn't there, but still, the safety of my loved ones is too important a thing.

And while Kara and Clark don't need security at all, my parents are especially vulnerable because they're basically just regular people.

Well, let's see how my six... oh, I mean subordinates did. Who cares?

Going outside, I looked round the yard and saw nothing at all. I guess I'll have to call Neo and tell him how bad he is at following orders. And I'm not doing this out of spite, it's just to show the importance of all my orders, and that I need to do them as well as possible. Yes, that's true, my character has nothing to do with it.

But just as I pulled out my phone, I heard an engine noise in the distance, and I saw it. It's not a pickup truck. It's a fucking monster.

Behind the wheel of this monster was Hassan, who I already knew. He had a slightly lazy expression and a strange gait.

- Chief, all your orders have been carried out. The car and all the equipment you need have been delivered to the base," he said in an emotionless tone.

- And since when do you know how to drive a car? - I asked him.

- After we received information about this era and the world, we immediately started learning all the useful skills available to us. I was tasked with learning how to drive and teach it to everyone else," he muttered, looking at me.

Interesting what they had in mind. I didn't even realise it myself, but they realised that they needed to learn how to use new technologies to work effectively in the modern world. They really are professionals.

- Wow, what a machine! - I heard Semilia's voice behind me. The girl had just come out of the house in a new outfit that looked like a Japanese school uniform or an office suit.

- When did you become so fashionable that you wear something new every day," I asked her, smiling at her.

- Ever since I got a boyfriend. I still have to surprise him with my beauty every day," she said as she hugged me and pressed herself closer to my body. Hassan had already left here, apparently realising that he was no longer needed.

- Oh, I'm glad you care so much. But I'll be happy to see you in any outfit, don't worry," I hugged her in return and then guided her to the car.

- Yeah yeah yeah, I believe you. Well nothing, even if you get bored with me, you can take Alice into your harem, after all she is a very beautiful girl, - Semilia winked at me and got into the car.

I didn't understand why she was so fond of joking about it lately. And she started it just at the moment when I thought about it. It's weird.

After that, we took a quick drive to Smallville. It wasn't too far from Metropolis itself, actually a half hour to an hour drive, depending on the car. But I'm pretty sure I could get there faster than that.

Let's go!

- Ed, are you insane? I'm immortal, but you're not! What are you driving at?! - Semelia shouted in my ear as I drove at breakneck speed into the building.

- Stay out of my way, sweetheart. I know what I'm doing. We'll get there fast, and with a breeze! - I shouted, speeding up even more.

- We're done for, the car's done for sure," she said sadly, grabbing the handrail again at another sharp turn.

I didn't pay much attention to it. Life had taught me a lot of things, but not how to drive a car; I'd learnt it from Need for Speed, which I'd played when I was fifteen. I don't have a licence either, but I don't need one.

- Phew, we made it," Semilia said with relief as I pulled up in front of a small farm.

- Oh come on, you're actually immortal," I told her as I cheerfully got out of the car.

- Mm-hmmm, except I forgot about it a few times on the way from your amazing driving," she replied, giving me a judgemental look.

- It was fun though," I told the girl, unable to find a better argument.

I then opened the boot and looked at the huge amount of rather heavy boxes in it. And though stop, I'm superhuman, why even worry about such a thing. Luckily Kiritsugu still possessed a trivial skill of any magician - telekinesis. And that's exactly what I decided to use.After absorbing Kirei and Jason, my magic talents had improved quite a bit, and I was almost able to modify the Emiya family's time magic, so now I could be called a real magician, and a pretty good one at that.

- Ah, this is a beautiful place. This is where I grew up," I said as I showed Semilia the farm. We had already gone inside and were just heading towards our parents' house.

I'm sure my mum had a delicious dinner ready to feed me by now, after all, my dad couldn't help but tell her I was coming.

Walking to the door, I pressed the bell a few times and waited for an answer.

- Just a second," I heard a firm male voice that sounded surprisingly familiar. Ed's memories had long since become a full-fledged part of me, and now I could be considered him.

- Hello, Father! - I said cheerfully as the door opened. In front of my face stood a man who was no longer a young man, but who still looked the same as he had when Ed had left the house. He smiled happily at me, throwing up his hands in greeting.

- Ed! You're a big boy now! - he said, hugging me tightly.

- Martha, look who's here! - He shouted, and then a woman about the same time, who hadn't changed much since then, came up to us.

Still, Ed loved his parents very much, and even in the war he remembered them, which calmed his suicidal tendencies a little.

So I was also very happy when a cheerful woman came up to us, looking at me with a smile.

- Edy, I've missed you so much! How were you there without me, come here, let me give you a hug," she said, quickly running up to me and pushing my father away from me to give me a hug herself.

- Don't worry about it, Mum," I hugged her and stroked her back, feeling her cry.

My parents cared about me just as much, and I understand that even more than Ed did. Still, I never had anything like that in my past life, and I only looked at the other kids with envy. And now I can feel it myself, parental love, it feels so good.

- Oh, okay, I'm getting emotional. Come quickly into the house, what to stand at the doorstep, - said Mum, wiping her tears.

- Eh, and here everything is the same, - I said with nostalgia in my voice, with the feeling of returning to my native home.

- Well, of course, what are we going to change. And your mum wanted you to come home, where nothing had changed. She even forbade me to touch anything in your room," my father told me with a laugh.

- Speaking of changes, I came bearing gifts," I mumbled, telekinesis moving all the gifts home. My parents weren't too surprised by this ability, probably because they'd experienced raising unusual children before.

- Wow, that's a lot. Edie, you shouldn't have spent so much money, we're doing fine as it is, why would you do that! - said my mum when she saw all my presents.

- No, mum. It doesn't cost me anything, and besides I earn enough to buy my parents gifts, so no objections are accepted! - I said, looking at my mother with persistence. She stared into my eyes until after a few seconds she sighed.

- Okay, you're already spent, after all. And thank you Edie, it's always nice for us to get gifts from our children, we just don't want you to spend too much,' Martha said, giving me another hug.

- 'You're welcome, Mum. I'm sure you've given me a lot more than that, especially considering how bad a temper I had as a child! - I said with a laugh.

- Ahem, Ed, perhaps you could introduce us to your companion already," Dad said with a tactful cough, glancing at Semilia.

- Oh, right. Mum, father, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend. This is Semilia Sternau, she and I have known each other for a long time and we love each other," I said, pushing Semilia forward.

- Oh, what a nice girl. What are you like not native, come in, sit down, - said my mother, starting to twirl around Semilia.

I myself sat down at the table, next to her. And just when I thought I had avoided an awkward scene, my father spoke.

- And now you will tell us what exactly came into your head, since you decided to go to war without saying anything about it to your parents, - my father said seriously, looking straight into my eyes.

Oh, I guess I'll have to talk about it after all....
