On the big screen in the living room connected to the blu ray player. It says 'Rakan Film' appears.
A few seconds later, the words Ala Rubra Saga appeared complete with pictures of the members of Ala Rubra, but the biggest picture was Rakan's picture which covered one-third of the screen.
The members of Ala Rubra who saw clearly the narcissism of Rakan in the opening of the film, began to feel whether they would get a good picture of Ala Rubra, if they had all seen something disturbing from the start.
'Sigh as I expected, none of dad's friends are normal,' Shirou said.
'That muscular daruma is so narcissistic that he puts an image of himself up to cover a third of the screen like that,' Rin said.
'The main character in Ala Rubra Saga should be Shirou-Sama's father right? Why is it even the photo of Rakan-sama that looks the biggest?' Setsuna said who questioned the strange thing she just saw.
'Ra-Rakan-san is really narcissistic by showing her pictures to that size,' Negi said. 'Is it true that he is someone on par with father?'
"Oooi Jack! The main character of Ala Rubra is me you know!" Clone Nagi shouted while pulling the sleeveless vest that Rakan always wore. "Why is your picture featured in the opening of this film! And not mine!"
"Calm down a bit Nagi, because I the one who made this film so may I highlight myself a little," Rakan said who still looked relaxed. "You're still the main character in Ala Rubra Saga, I swear to you."
"Tcch I'm really confused with Theodora Hime who wants to be your wife," Clone Nagi said while looking at Rakan with a face that looked annoyed. "How come she wants to be the wife of someone who is very narcissistic like you. Both of you evem have a children."
"If you two want to fight like a little kid, please do it later," Shirou said with a sigh as he saw his father and Rakan acting like children. "Because right now I want to watch Ala Rubra Saga quietly without any distractions."
Rakan and Clone Nagi gulped, they didn't expect that the two of them would be scolded by someone much younger than them like that, let alone being teased to act like a child...

Twenty-one years earlier in a remote area of the Kingdom of Hellas.
Because of the war that took place between Megalomesembria and Hellas, many people has suffered, and even though the remote area looks very peaceful, many of its residents complain of the hardships they get from the war.
"This war is so annoying, all goods prices are going up. And that includes the price of water and food which are rather difficult to find in the remote area like this city!" Rakan said who was currently sitting opposite his agent who was telling Rakan what job he should do.
"If I don't get a job that pays a lot of money, it will be difficult for me to buy a food!"
"That's why as your agent, I'm here to give you a job," The agent said who was wearing a black suit and black fedora. "Your target this time are three wizards from the old world, plus a super tough teenager who is said to have the same strength as you, Jack."
The agent of Rakan, showing the photos of Eishun, Albiero, Fillius Zect the teacher of Nagi who looks like a child and also photos of Nagi.
Rakan's face smiled when he saw Nagi's photo, because from that photo alone he could immediately guess, thar Nagi is someone who is same type with him.
"Fufufufu that red-haired brat seems to be an interesting opponent to fight," Rakan said with a smile. "But is it true that the red-haired boy is my equal?"
"Nagi Springfield really has the same strength as you Rakan, you absolutely shouldn't underestimate him," Rakan's agent said."He and his friends were the main cause of the failed restoration of Ostia, an elite squad was sent to defeat them all, but that army was defeated very easily. I guess in order for you to have an easy time fighting them I'll send someone else to help you."
"You don't have to do such a troublesome thing, boss," Rakan said with a very confident face. "I'm a person who's used to working alone, if you paired me with someone it would ruin my excellent performance. I'm confident that I'm strong enough to defeat them all alone, so just leave everything to me! Because I am the greatest gladiator and bounty hunter in the world!"

In a hinterland among the mountains near Ostia. Nagi, Zect, Albiero, and Eishun were enjoying eating the Nabe prepared by Eishun for their dinner.
"Hoo so this is it, Nabe from Japan?" Nagi said who was holding the beef using chopsticks and was about to put the meat into a pot of boiling water. "Now then, let's put this beef in."
"Oooi Nagi! Don't put the meat in first!" Eishun shouted angrily with Nagi who wanted to put the meat in the pot before the vegetables.
"Isn't the beef that Nagi wants to put in it delicious?" Zect said whose saliva was flowing when he smelled the smell of beef in Nagi's hand.
"Don't be so stubborn, Eishun. Meat is much tastier and more nutritious than vegetables, so it's not weird if the meat is put in first!" Nagi said whose hand was held by Eishun before he could put the meat into the pot.
"You idiot, the cooking time is different you know! The correct way is to add the vegetables first and then add the meat!" Eishun shouted. "Don't break the tradition of cooking Nabe which is good and true!"
"Aaaah you're talkative you Eishun!" Nagi said who was trying to free her hand from Eishun's grip. "I'll do whatever I like so don't try to stop me!"
"Khu khu khu Eishun do you know that you are a very rigid person and too obedient to tradition?" Albiero said.
"You're noisy Al!" Eishun said. "I'm rigid and obedient to the rules, because I was educated like this! From a young age!"
"Your family really sucks Eishun, they educate you to the point that you become a very rigid person, if you are rigid and too disciplined like that it will be difficult for you to get a wife later!" Nagi said who was trying to tease Eishun.
"I'm sorry if I disappointed you Nagi but I already have a future wife to marry me so I don't feel worried about getting a wife!" Eishun said whose words immediately made Nagi pout. "And my future wife is very beautiful!"
"Tssk I thought I could make you angry with what I just said, I didn't think that you already had a potential partner, Eishun," Nagi said who was annoyed that his attempt to annoy Eishun failed miserably.

After finishing talking about things that are completely unimportant. The four of them continued eating their dinner, chatting.
"Ooh what's this sauce? It's so good!" Zect said.
"Yeah it's so delicious!" Nagi said with twinkling eyes.
"What you two are eating is Shoyu which is the pride of Japan," Eishun said while rubbing the tip of his nose using his index finger as a sign that he was proud to be Japanese.
"I'll admit that this Shoyu is really good," Albiero said with a faint smile on his face.
"Nabe with Shoyu is very good, I really want to give this food to the little princess," Nagi said, imagining the little Asuna's face.
"Little princess? Do you mean Imperial Princess of Twilight?" Zect said. "Zelretch-Sama said that it is not yet time for that little girl to be released."
"Al's teacher said something like that to Master?" Ask Naga. "I don't think Master Zelretch would be lying if he said something like that himself."
"Maybe when the war ends we can free Asuna-Sama," Albiero said. "But even that depends on whether Asuna-Sama really can be freed or not, considering that it is her existence that has made the kingdom of Vespertatia remain victorious until now."
"I will find a way to free the little princess no matter what," Nagi said with a serious facial expression. "There's no way I'm letting the little princess continue to suffer like that."
