In the world of Type-Moon, it all begins with becoming Morgan's husband!

"..."

Watching Artoria disappear before her eyes, Mash hesitated for a moment before walking to Ian's side.

"Senior...are you alright?"

Mashu thought he wouldn't get a response—after all, he looked quite distraught.

But she never expected that things would turn out quite the opposite.

"Well, I'm fine."

He stood up and answered in a hoarse voice.

"Let's go, let's retrieve the Holy Grail."

"Then... let's end all of this."

Although his tone sounded calm, Mash knew that Ian just wanted to feel normal.

Such a clumsy attempt at concealment is so obvious that even one can see through it at a glance.

but--

There is no need to expose it.

If he thinks this is appropriate, then so be it.

“Mm.” Mashu nodded.

"Senior, let's go and retrieve the Holy Grail!"

Artoria did not hide the Holy Grail too far away from herself.

Or rather, even if she wanted to hide it, it would be pointless.

In Singularity F, the Holy Grail is constantly shooting light into the sky.

If it weren't for Artoria guarding the area, they would probably have been swarmed by the enemy long ago.

Looking at the towering pillar of light before her, Mash was at a loss.

"How can we get it back?"

She was so busy agreeing to Ian's request that she didn't realize it was actually her first time doing something like this.

I really should go back and ask the director!

Just as Mashu turned around, preparing to ask Olga Marie, who was taking care of Fujimaru Ritsuka who had fainted due to a large amount of magic power output in a short period of time, she saw a figure.

"No need to ask."

"All you need to do is touch the Holy Grail as a 'Servant'—it was originally just a source of magical energy prepared for us."

That's Cú Chulainn.

But at this moment, he had lost an arm, and blood was constantly flowing from it, which looked quite horrifying.

Even though they didn't interact much, Mashu still clearly remembered his courage in deciding to fight the white-haired man on the mountainside to buy time for everyone.

This is--

Definite friends!

“Mr. Cu Chulainn, your hand…”

"Oh."

Cú Chulainn glanced at his empty arm and gave a nonchalant smile.

"After all, I wasn't using a gun, so fighting those kinds of guys was a bit of a struggle."

"but--"

"Even if he's a Caster (magician), I'm not someone to mess with!"

It seems that Cú Chulainn had already defeated the unknown dual-wielding Servant before Ian "dealt with" Artoria.

Although--

The price was an arm.

“Mr. Cú Chulainn…” Mash, who was also a “Servant,” was somewhat moved by this boldness.

She recalled certain things.

"and many more!"

"If it's a source of magic, wouldn't it be better for Mr. Cú Chulainn, as a 'Servant,' to touch it?!"

"In this way, we can also materialize it and obtain a real physical body!"

“No.” Cú Chulainn shook his head.

"I don't want to touch the Holy Grail in my current state—I prefer myself holding the spear."

"and--"

Cú Chulainn looked at Mash in front of him.

"If I'm not mistaken."

"You... because you wanted to protect others, you successfully activated your Noble Phantasm and resisted Excalibur Morgan."

"Then according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, you are the true victor."

"Therefore, you should be the one who deserves to obtain the Holy Grail."

"Go."

Cú Chulainn's eyes were full of approval.

"Let us reclaim the Holy Grail as victors."

"Eh?!"

Mash was thrilled to be recognized by the historical hero Cú Chulainn.

Although she didn't want to make any wishes, she realized that this was something she had to take back.

"Senior, then I..."

Mash looked at Ian.

Although she did not become his Servant, the girl still elevated him to the same status as her Master.

"Okay, Mashu, you can go."

Ian forced a smile.

"Go and bring the Holy Grail back, and then end all of this."

"However... please don't make any wishes during this time, okay?"

"Yeah! I know!"

With Ian's permission, Mash no longer had any fear.

"Noble Phantasm, deploy!"

The girl, holding a round shield, entered the pillar of light.

As Ian watched her figure, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Just then, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

The man turned around and saw that it was Cú Chulainn doing this with his only remaining arm.

"you……"

Ian's expression turned serious.

"I'm sorry you lost an arm."

"Hahahaha!" Cú Chulainn burst into laughter. "Ian Pendragon, is this your way of showing me pity?"

"That's not necessary."

"because--"

"I'm leaving soon too."

"what?!"

Ian then realized something.

Like Artoria, Cú Chulainn is also a Servant who appeared because of this Holy Grail War.

The moment Mash obtained the Holy Grail, he also faced his defeat.

"Cú Chulainn, don't you want to win?"

"Of course I want to win."

Cú Chulainn looked at the pillar of light before him, his eyes filled with thought.

"But I feel that since I didn't defeat Artoria, I naturally have no right to claim victory."

"I'm not that kind of shameless person."

"……Too."

"As long as you understand." Cú Chulainn's gaze returned to Ian, who was standing to the side.

"By the way... you should know that the girls who came here with you all like you, right?"

Ian hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Ok, I know."

"Then take responsibility!"

Cú Chulainn shoved Ian with his only remaining arm.

"Promise me you'll marry them all!"

"Huh, no?"

This sudden turn of events almost choked Ian to death.
