Two Kinds of Aramasa/Amaneko Spark(Japanese Sake), ”SINCÉRITÉ” Breads & Salmon Meuniere Dinner - October 2022
Okay, but can we talk about how little free time Gudako/Ritsuka actually get and how overworked they are probably?
Like, the Chaldea was designed so every servant was to have their own personal master but what happened caused this one/two masters to take care of all of them!
This ain't a small number either. There's 300 servants in the story so far. 300!! This is ridiculous amount. No matter how hard you try, you can't fit all of them to one day. Not even portion of that. Not to mention more servants will be added in the future.
Side note, some servants are just same servant with different class/skin, but still. The number stays near 300.
Quick Google search shows that average person is awake between 12-16 hours. If, Ritsuka/Gudako spent, let's say two hours with one servant per day, this would mean that in span of 12 hours they would've spent time with six of them. Which, means 294 servants are left unattended.
Some servants certainly don't require master's attention but as story indicates they do get along with everyone and have a somewhat deep bond with them. Which, means they have spent some time with them. Or go with them to their interlude missions.
And as an only masters of Chaldea, they're immediately whipped in when even an small issue comes up. Like, they have to be under such immense pressure. It's seriously do or die situations most of the time.
Goredolf doesn't even do that much despite being an director. Dude, get your own servant, if you want to help. Side note, I have no idea how canon apocrypha is but in that he does have saber class, Siegfried in it and as we all know, saber class servants are the most powerful. Meaning, he's a good candidate to have a servant. He kind of had Fionn and Diarmuid as servants in Beni-Enma event. So, give him a servant already.
And I'm not certain, if Meuniere could be master but it'd interesting to see. Maybe, he could have an French servant, Marie, Astolfo and D'eon are all good candidates.
Sion being in the story doesn't help that much, as she's yet to be on the battlefield and it seems Nemo has her hands full with up keeping the current Chaldea.
And yes. They do get their day-offs as mentioned in the Beni-Enma event. But, even that so said vacation mission, was turned into making a hotel mission. They didn't get to rest at all. I don't believe they've had an actual break or even couple day-offs, while they've been in Chaldea.
Taking time off is important and especially important is to take time for yourself. This isn't what Ritsuka and Gudako have been getting instead, they've been barraged with one request after another, with sleep being their only escape. Not, even that. Servants, like Edmont Dantes, Sitonai and Abigail are able to visit the dreams. Does this mess up with their sleep schedule? Maybe, maybe not. But it can't be healthy to have ptsd Dantes walking in your peaceful dreams.
So, yeah. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk about overworked masters.
A Round of UNO
Within Chaldea there is one activity that bring both the weak and strong together to test their might against one another. OK there are a couple but one of them is card games. The Master Vann, the tyrant Nobbu, the tired Meuniere, and the shirtless Yan Qing will test their might at a humble game of UNO.
As the game went on one round in particular stood out. Meuniere has a clear lead, followed by Yan Qing, then both Vann and Nobbu who had just drew far more cards then most players would be comfortable with. Most.
V "Reverse"
N "Oh you shouldn't have, reverse"
V "No no I insist, reverse"
N "You're took kind, reverse"
M "Are you two having fun over there"
V "Yes we are, skip"
M "Aaaah why'd I open my mouth"
Y "Now I can get in on this, draw 2"
N "Noooooo" The tyrant sank down her chair as she drew 2 more cards.
V "You know what'll help, reverse"
M "Another one!"
Y "Knowing his luck that's all his got"
N "Thanks, reverse"
M "Seriously how do you have so many of that stupid card"
V "Cheating"
N "Definitely cheating"
V "I stacked the deck"
N "I've got cards hidden in my hat"
V "We're swapping cards with my secret third arm"
N "Okita is hidden at telling me what everyone has"
V "I've learned alchemy but it only works on colourful cards"
N "I bribed the judges"
Y "They didn't accept my bribes"
N "They only accept whisky"
Y "Darn I only tried with gold"
M "STOP! Fine. I get it forget I asked"
V "Cool, reverse"
N "Reverse"
M "I HATE YOU ALL"
While at the end of the night Meuniere would win point wise it was unanimously agreed that he lost the most. Besides Okita who would be found later muttering about being used for nefarious means.
