Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

[Shirou Emiya and Archer (Red Archer) stacked themselves into two towering structures, fiercely competing atop them.]

[Meanwhile, Rin Tohsaka below clutched her head, feeling even more disillusioned with her ten years of hard work.]

Rin Tohsaka: "(~_~;)"

Let alone her, I feel sorry for her.

[A heart rate test: One person from each team feeds the other; if their heart rate exceeds 80, they fail.]

[Rin Tohsaka chose to feed Archer, but ended up losing right from the start.]

[It wasn't that Archer was shy; rather, Rin Tohsaka shoved the food into Archer's mouth without a second thought, scalding him so badly that he screamed and his heart raced.]

[However, the team consisting of C-Mom and Kuzuki Souichirou, despite C-Mom's constant feeding, remained completely unfazed and successfully secured victory.]

[As for C's mom, her heart rate is probably about to break 250.]

Zabiko: "There's even a game like this!"

Nero: "Hmm, I'm interested too. Let's team up together, Hakuno."

Tamamo-no-Mae: "Ah, no way, Hakuno-chan belongs to someone else. You should find a dancing ape to team up with."

Nero: "Hmm, looks like a certain fox is jealous."

Tamamo-no-Mae: "I'll be jealous of you, hmph."

[Balloon Hunter Competition: Each participant wears a hat covered in a fragile balloon and uses an inflatable hammer to attack their opponent. Once a balloon is popped, the participant is eliminated.]

[Looking at Berserker, who was 2.5 meters tall, Shirou Emiya and Artoria were speechless.]

[What's the point of fighting? We can't even touch each other's heads standing here!]

[Then Gilgamesh broke the rules first, using "Gate of Babylon" to summon a bunch of inflatable hammers to bombard everyone.]

[Red A sees this and thinks, "Since you don't even care about martial ethics, then I won't hold back either."]

[With "Unlimited Blade Works" activated, a ton of inflatable hammers were projected, and Archer joined the bombardment.]

However, it seems he's fixated on Shirou Emiya.

[R-chan got carried away and pulled out her Noble Phantasm to fight, even stabbing herself in the neck in the process.]

Seeing that his servant was unreliable, Shinji Matou had no choice but to flee in terror.

The scene immediately descended into chaos.

Rin Tohsaka: "Gilgamesh, your treasure trove... really has all sorts of strange and wonderful things."

King of Heroes: "Hmph, I've said it before, all the treasures in the world belong to me."

But an inflatable hammer—he still has one in his treasury?

Zabi: "Sister R, does it feel good to stab yourself in the neck?"

R-sister: "..."

[How much time has passed is unknown—]

The original reality show venue has been reduced to ruins, and the surrounding area is filled with damaged buildings.

[Red Archer and Artoria collapsed to the ground, Gilgamesh was impaled in the wall by Berserker, who stood with his right hand raised like a statue, Illya leaning on his shoulder, and Caster and Souichirou Kuzuki were also standing on opposite sides with hammers on their heads, both appearing to be unconscious.]

[While Shirou Emiya looked quite disheveled, he was still conscious, and the balloon on his head was intact.]

Seriously, what happened to peaceful competition...?

The audience had all left, leaving only Arcueid watching with great interest.

Weber: "It's in ruins again..."

Rin Tohsaka: "(ーー゛) They said they were going to reduce the destruction, but it still turned out like this."

Hartres: "The destructive power of the Heroic Spirits is really not as good as Xiao Xu's."

Ishtar: "Hahaha, Gilgamesh, that's a great pose!"

Conqueror King: "Hmm, it has a very artistic feel to it."

King of Heroes: "(╬~皿~) You bunch of bastards..."

If I weren't still on the Throne of Heroes, I would have rushed over and killed you all.

Illya: "Hahaha, Berserker is indeed the strongest!"

Uncle B: "aaaaaaaa——"

Junior Director: "=A="

Hercules, you are now my servant.

"The Holy Grail War is such a difficult battle..."

[As the weakened Shirou Emiya was reflecting on his situation, a light suddenly appeared before his eyes.]

The last remaining sphere of light on the podium shattered, revealing a large golden cup.

It is the Holy Grail.

[Emiya Shirou: "That is—"]

"The Holy Grail!"

[Rin Tohsaka, who had been slumped on the ground, immediately sprang to her feet.]

"That kind of thing...it's because of that kind of thing!"

[Shirou Emiya was furious and stormed off towards the Holy Grail.]

Chapter 407 Group Member Competition

(Fujimura Taiga)

"Projection—Start!"

[The magic circuits on his right arm suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and magical energy surged rapidly within the emerald green circuits.]

【"Shirou——"】

Artoria, Illya, Rider, Kirei Kotomine, and the others were all awakened by Shirou Emiya's commotion and looked up.

Suddenly, Shirou Emiya projected an Excalibur and slashed it down at the Holy Grail.

【"Ahhhhhhh!"】

With a roar from Shirou Emiya, the Holy Grail was successfully cut in two, but—

[A cat princess jumped out from the cleaved Holy Grail.]

Everyone in the group: “???”

What the heck? How did this cat-man jump out of the Holy Grail?

Where is the black mud? Where has all the evil in this world gone?

"Huh?"

[Shirou Emiya looked completely bewildered.]

Kirei Kotomine: "Finally free?!"

He seemed quite familiar with the mysterious creature within the Holy Grail.

Rin Tohsaka, standing to the side, looked like she'd been tricked.

Rin Tohsaka: "Kirei, you knew something all along!"

Father Mapo: "..."

He's innocent! He really didn't know anything!

[Emiya Shirou: "Who are you?"]

"Meow meow meow!"

Just then, Cat Princess let out a roar to the sky, and the Holy Grail, having been cleaved in two, disintegrated and transformed into a two-dimensional rocket.

[Startled, Shirou Emiya tried to run away, but suddenly countless cat princesses appeared behind him.]

The cat princesses excitedly ran towards the rocket, and Shirou Emiya, who couldn't escape in time, was simply picked up by them and taken onto the rocket with them.

The rocket then lifted off.

"Why—"

[Watching Fuyuki City shrink smaller and smaller, Shirou Emiya let out a desperate roar.]

What kind of outrageous development is this?! How could I have encountered something like this?!

In the end, only a faint shadow remained on the horizon.

"Kiritsugu...have I become a champion of justice?"

Good grief, he's not dead, why all this fuss?

Stay-at-home husband: "..."

Blonde Rin: "Good heavens! Has Shirou Emiya been sent off Earth?"
