On our way to the church, I gave Thonsaka a special glove made with my biomass, it will hide her comand seals without anyone realizing she's wearing any glove at all.
Thonsaka: "What about you?"
I show her the back of my hand, and she got astonished seeing the comand seals move on my sleave until they stop near where my heart would be, her jaw droped even lower when the seals sank into my shirt and chest.
Thonsaka: "How-?"
Me: "I can control my biology at will, and since comand seals are atached to ones nervous system, I can move them arround my body."
Thonsaka: "Cool, but that doesen't explain how it went up your clothes."
Me: "They are part of my body, if they get damaged for exemple, they would regenerate."
I bite off a piece of my collar to show her. A bit of blood drops, but the wound starts to heal right away.
Thonsaka: "That sure is usefull."
She stares at my clothes for a second.
Thonsaka: "But if they are a part of your body, dosen't that mean tha-?"
She turns crimson and frezes. The next moment, she turns arround to avoid looking at me. Saber does the same, almost sincronizing with Thonsaka.
I roll my eyes.
Me: "From society's point of view, it's the same of fur in animals, it conts as beeing clothed. You can look at me like normal."
They try to go back to normal, but there is still a bit of blood on their cheecks and they constantly avert their gazes.
Oh well, I'm sure they'll get used to it eventualy.
At least any weirdness from my part falls on the excuse of me beeing from another dimension and having diferent customs then them.
Who woulden't abuse the hell out of this situation? Hehehe.

*Later*
The chat with the fake priest was a bit disapointing, it seemes I overestimated the complexity of the war, but I got some new intel nonethanless:
First: Thonsaka doesen't have a wish for the Grail, so I decided to strike a deal with her: We will ask our Servants wishes, and whoever of us wins, will wish for what the other's Servant want. So both Archer's and Saber's wishes are the ones that will be granted, regardless of whitch one of us ends as the 'oficial' winner.
.
Why won't I use the Grail for myself?
Well, what can I even ask?!
Immortality? I already have that.
An utopia? Both boring (I belive we have good moments just because we have to face bad ones) and valid for just one world. The System told me I'll dimension hop a lot in this new life of mine.
Knowlage? I can just go to a library. Beefed up brain and all of that.
Power? I already have a lot, and asking for more would give me another mockery Greed Achievment from the System. I rather avoid those.
Fame? With my powers, I don't need more help to achieve it if I ever feel like doing it.
Woman/love? Been there, done that, regreted it and lived happy without it for the rest of my life and never wished for it to be diferent (true*(I guess that my heart withered and died, but then again, I don't miss it and managed to be happy without it)).
Money? I can just manipulate the carbon in my body and spew up a massive diamond right here and now!
Beauty? I'm a bloody shapeshifter! My face is what I what it to be!
.
Lastly, Thonsaka doesen't want to kill the other masters off, but says she won't force me to do the same, even if she would prefer for me to follow her exemple of just targeting enemie servants.
This info was a jackpot for me! As this gives me a logical excuse for not eating humans, I can use the pretext that I don't want to go against her morals! as for the killing or not-killing part... well, lets just say that SOME masters will survive the war, Hehe.
.
.
Anyway, there is reason why I visited the priest other then refreshing my memory, and I'm staring at it right now.
Yup, it's the encounter with Berserker.
I can't realy wait for the guy at my house, he would trash the place!
Illya: "Good evening, oni-chan. This is the second time we've met like this."
Me: "If you mean me, we've never met before. You're mistaking me with this face's previous owner. It's a comon mistake."
It seems that she diden't buy it (can't realy blame her on that one).
Illya: "Is that so? Then..."
She does a curtsy wile playing along. How polite of her.
Illya: "...It's nice to meet you, oni-chan, Rin. I'm Illya. Illyasviel von Einzbern. You know the name Einzbern, don't you?"
Thonsaka: "Einzbern..."
Even tho Tonsaka is the one who talked, Saber is the one who grabs my atention.
Me: "Saber, what's with the pained expression?"
Saber: "It's nothing master."
Me: "Realy? It looks like guilt to me. It would be normal considering she's a kid, but your look turned that way when hearing her name, instead of first seeing her. So my suspicion is that your problem isen't with fighting a child master, it is with her identity. So lemme ask again, and as your master, I expect the truth: What's wrong?"
Saber takes a second to answer.
Saber: "She's the daughter of my former master."
Uou.
I diden't know that.
Thonsaka also seems surprised, but decides to focus in the oncoming battle first and ask questions later. Her eyes glow for a second, analizing the oponent.
.
Thonsaka:" I'm astonished. In terms of raw strenght, that thing surpasses Saber."
Me: "Interesting..."
A grin form on my face.
Me: "Thonsaka, you and Archer go after the Einzbern kid, capture her and, for Saber's sake, try not to injure her to much, OK? Me and Saber will handle Berserker."
Thonsaka: " Are you realy sure you can handle that monster?"
Me: "It'll be a fun workout." I crack my knucles.
Saber: " Master, I know it is rude of me, but your safety is my priority and the enemy is to strong, so please let me fight this battle solo so I can keep you safe!"
Me: " Request denyed! I'm immortal, I'll be the one shielding you! Hold still for a sec."
I give saber a hug and start shapehifting and covering her with my biomass.
Saber: "Wha-!"
I don't settle for just covering her: I go throught her nostrils and into her lungs. I go throught the pores of her skin and get into her bloodstream. I got into her organs, between her tissues, and prety much everywere I could.
This is an ironic power the System gave me: In Warframe you wore the pilot of the powerful and deadly suits of armor know as warframes. I transmigrated without any sort of gear, including a warframe suit! So the System made use of my Prototype biology and gave me the ability to kindof reverse the roles.
Yup, I can turn myself into someone's warframe.
Well... warframe-ish.
Is something between a normal armor, the Nidus warframe, a half way Prototype 'consume' of the host, etc. etc.
I'll make some exemples here so it's easier to understand the basic idea:
The biomass I have between Saber's muscle fibers, is acting as adictional muscle fibers, and with this, boosting her strenght (by quite a lot since those muscle fibers are Protoype grade).
My nervous system is conected to hers, so she benefits from my enhanced senses.
If we're somehow cut in half, I can stich us back together before her tissues start to die, and after a wile, her body's natural regeneration would fix her and she would be good as new.
If one of her organs fail, I can just perform its functions manualy wile I work on repairing it.
I can sapeshift the biomass that covers her skin into adictional limbs, such as extra arms, wings and weapons.
The fun part is that I can do this to anyone, not just my Servant. Heck, I can even pull this stunt with animals!
I'm prety muck a Venom knock-off (Autor Note: A super-vilan from Marvel, he is a symbiotic life- form that primaraly uses human hosts)!
The drawback is that it requires a LOT of focus and energy, but I'm not planing on draging the fight anyway.
.
Saber: 'This feels... weird.'
Me: ' Yeah, it feels a bit weird for me as well.'
Saber: 'Why do I hear music?'
Me: 'Oh, it's just my phone, wanted to have some blood pumping. I can change it or even turn it off if you'd like.'
Saber: 'No need, I quite liked it.'
I'm glad she aproves of my musical taste.(Autor Note: What music do you guys think would suit this ocasion? Leave it in the coments :D ) We get in her stance and ready ourselves for combat.
Me: "Let's get this party started, shall we?"
