One day in the Namikaze Residence as both of Haru's parents were out and Asia and Haru and Altera were left alone, the young redhead asked a question that had been bugging him for the last couple of days.
"Hey, Altera?" he asked, looking over at the girl as she fiddled with a gift Asia had bought for her. A Rubiks Cube, if he remembers right. "Is it okay if I ask something?"
"Of course." Altera smiled. "What is it?"
"How come whenever your around others, you go total Amazon?"
"What do you mean?" She asked with a tilt of her head.
"Uh… I mean… why you seem to act so aloof and emotionless when there are others around, and open up when it's just us?"
"... Because it's bad civilization to appear so vulnerable."
Haru sweatdropped. "... Bad civilization?"
"Everything can be viewed in two ways. Good civilization. Bad civilization." She replied simply. "Good Civilization is like you, Haru! It's nice and comfortable to be around. Good Civilization is nice." Altera then shook her head, a serious look on her face. "Bad Civilization is horrible. Its nasty and dangerous. Its like a mugger in an alleyway! Bad Civilization is evil!"
The redhead stared at his Servant, wondering what he should say to counter that. Given Asia and Rider's character, he sincerely doubted that they could even remotely be considered "Bad Civilization," Grail War be damned.
"... Okay, then. So everyone else is Bad Civilization and I'm Good Civilization?" Altera nodded strongly. "And how exactly am I Good Civilization?" Now that he actually says it, it felt so weird saying that. "I mean, in case you haven't noticed, I take any chance I get to perv. What makes me even remotely close to Good Civilization?"
Altera's smile was oddly very painful for him. "Because Haru is a very gentle person." she said with the utmost certainty. "And he wouldn't do anything unsightly."
... Weird. Haru thought as he felt a cold shudder run down his back. Somehow, I feel like I've just committed a horrible crime. Is this what they call the power of moe?
