Chapter 1 – A new Cherry Blossom

“Urgh, this is gonna make BB insufferable.” The Alter Ego of Joy and Happiness sighed, already dreading whatever chaos this newly summoned servant would bring, when their ‘creator’ found out who they were.

Meltryllis had nothing against the origin of their existence, but after having spent time with BB and Melt’s “sisters”, a new servant wearing their Origin’s face didn’t exactly bode well.

“Isn’t BB always kind of insufferable?” A sweet yet quiet voice replied, who was staring at the newcomer rather intensely.
Passionlip, the Alter Ego of Love and Hate, had really blossomed since coming to Chaldea, which warmed Melt’s heart.
Living under Kiara’s control and BB’s influence had hurt them both, deep to their cores, but just being in a place where there was a higher power than both that nymphomaniac nun and that chaotic AI had enabled them to start healing.

Melt sighed again. As usual when it came to the other Servants, Lip was right.
“Yeah, but you know shes gonna make Ritsuka’s life miserable about this.”
Especially since they ran off before the summoning finalised. Why do they keep doing that?

Lip pondered quietly, while Melt kept watching the new Servant chatting with the support staff, who were no doubt explaining why Ritsuka had dashed almost as soon as the summoning had started.

“….is she gonna make Ritsuka’s life difficult, or Parvati’s?”

Melt paused, then turned to her ‘sister’.
“Is that who this new Servant is?”

The large clawed servant nodded.
“We acknowledged each other as soon as the summoning ritual finished.”
Lip paused, before adding, “Kind of like when BB specifically wants our attention, but more respectfully and caring sort of feeling.”

Like Melt and her ‘sisters’, they were made from composites of various goddesses.
One of each of their ‘cores’ already walked through Chaldea, but due to their years upon years of avoiding Kiara’s and BB’s detection, they had done quite well at avoiding them.
Hadn’t stopped us from encountering some of their followers.

Encountering Atalantae and sharing the same thought about Artemis had helped ease the tension between the two rather stand-offish servants.

“So what do you mean, BB will make Parvati’s life miserable?” Melt asked Lip, returning her attention back to Parvati.
Huh. Unlike Lip and I, shes an almost perfect match for our Origin. Probably an even better match than BB.

“Oh, thats easy! Parvati is a pseudo-servant, shes possessing our Origin!” Lip replied happily, feet swinging from the ‘chair’ formation she typically kept her obscenely large claws in when she wasn’t moving.

“Huh.” Melt halfheartedly responded, not quite getting it.
Then it clicked.

Pseudo-servant. A Divine or Heroic Spirit that cannot become a servant in a standard way, so they end up possessing human bodies that ‘share a wavelength’ with the spirit in question.

Their origin. A kind yet shy woman, who held a deep reservoir of darkness and imaginary space.

BB, whose one ‘good’ objective was to protect their Origin.

This new Servant, who was the ‘true’ form of a fragment of Lips’ core, who was POSSESSING THEIR ORIGIN, and would be TAKING THEIR ORIGIN into combat to help Ritsuka with the Grand Orders.

“What should we do, to help stop this?” Melt asked quietly, as Parvati, having finished talking to the support staff, now slowly but surely headed in the direction where Melt and Lip were hiding themselves from the Staff.

A confused look spread across Lip’s face.
“Stop this? We do what we always do. Let BB be BB, and be prepared to support our Master!”
Lip was the first to leave the shadows, stepping into the light of the corridor to meet the divine spirit that was part of her core.

Melt smirked, then followed her sister.
