Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Type-Moon, inheriting the legacy of Zi-O.

"Hmm... to an outsider, she looks like a radio-wave girl talking to a doll..." Orion, who was left struggling, muttered under his breath.

"I see. To each their own." Not taking their relationship to heart, Mashu was now more concerned with whether the Servants who had come before her would assist her now that they knew their purpose. "Then let's put those matters aside for now. Would you two be able to lend us a hand?"

"Hmm~" The girl tapped her chin, and after racking her brains without finding a solution, she looked at the Orion in her hand. "Darling, what do you suggest we do?"

"What else can we do?" Orion looked at the girl seeking his opinion with a disdainful gaze (so how did it even have eyes?). "Since we already know that human history is about to be destroyed, is there any other choice but to help? Idiot!" Orion said, as if scolding her, with an air of 'Why is this woman so troublesome?'

"I'm not stupid! I'm a goddess!" The girl patted her chest, creating an enviable wave of admiration, and proudly declared her noble status.

"Fine, fine, you incompetent goddess...!" Then, taking advantage of the girl's inattention, Orion snatched the stick from her hand, picked it up, and started hitting the girl's head repeatedly. "Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, take this—!"

"Ouch, this is domestic violence!" The seemingly weak attack seemed particularly effective against the girl, who reached out to try and block Orion's relentless swings of the wooden stick. "This is what they call domestic violence, isn't it!"

However, even though it was just playful fighting, the girl still grabbed Orion's waist, but as they continued to wrestle, her grip seemed to loosen a little... and loosen even more...

"They're just rambling on about random things, not doing anything productive..." Even Euryale, who is also a goddess, couldn't stand it anymore and looked away from the two who were fooling around.

"...Speaking of which, what's your name, my goddess?" After separating the two, a human and a bear, who were playfully fighting, Drake reluctantly interjected.

“…Eh?” Hearing another unfamiliar voice, the girl who called herself a goddess looked at Drake, then proudly puffed out her chest. “I am Artemis.”

"Ah!?" Mashu exclaimed in disbelief first.

"Fu!?" Fufu, who seemed to possess great intelligence, also widened her eyes and stared at the proud goddess.

"What!?" Mary, who was on the communication device, almost spat out the coffee she had just drunk when she heard this.

"..." Even the usually sarcastic Euryale forgot to be sarcastic and just stared wide-eyed at the goddess in front of her.

“Hmm…?” Asterius tilted his head, indicating his confusion.

"This...this is truly an unexpected big shot..." Even Captain Drake felt a little dizzy, looking up and down at the girl in front of him who called herself Artemis and sighing helplessly, "She doesn't seem like an imposter, what should we do now?"

"Then... then, this doll is...?" Mashu's voice trembled slightly, a rare occurrence, as she pointed to the doll held in the girl's hand.

"This is my lover, Orion?" With a puzzled look, the girl looked at Mashu's stunned eyes with some curiosity. "Isn't this obvious?" "...When I heard that he was going to be summoned, I was immediately very uneasy, so I decided to accept the summoning in his place!" The girl smoothed her long, soft silver hair.

"Cheating... This is cheating...!" Nian Zhuo's heart was bleeding at this moment. "If it is the Grand Archer Orion who accepts the summon, then this singularity is just a piece of cake...!" The despair in his heart was not reflected on his face, but Nian Zhuo was still staring at the little bear in a daze.

“I see… I see.” Mary finished her coffee in one gulp. “A proxy Heroic Spirit summoning achieved through the method of deifying a god… Although it’s not like there’s no precedent for this…”

"I am Orion." Ignoring Mary's words, the teddy bear-like figure gave a slight bow to the people in front of him. "I was summoned to this Holy Grail War, but I have become a strange creature." As he spoke, his small body was enveloped by an inexplicable atmosphere. "...became a strange creature...strange..." It was an atmosphere called sadness.

"It's truly heartbreaking to hear, and brings tears to the eyes of anyone who listens." Ritsuka was inexplicably drawn into the conversation by him, wiping her eyes as she said, "Please continue to live strong from now on."

“Oh, by the way,” Orion said, pointing to Artemis, who was smiling beside him, “I’m a useless piece of trash. I can’t survive without completely relying on her.”

"Hehehe." Artemis hugged Orion in her arms. "I don't mind if you rely on me a little more, my dear."

"I really want to be independent..." Orion, who was forced to live off his wife, replied.

...and then he became completely immersed in Artemis's vast embrace.

This lousy boat can actually sail.jpg

"Ahem." Mashu coughed lightly twice, interrupting Orion's fantasy of being immersed in the tender embrace of his wife. "Then, please fight alongside us, Miss Asterius and Mr. Orion. There's no time to lose; we need dragon scales as materials to repair the ship. Let's work together to collect dragon scales!" Mashu rarely showed an expectant expression.

After all, it was obvious that Nian Zhuo and the others had spent a considerable amount of time on this island... At least Asterius, who was older than them, knew the terrain of the islands and the locations of the dragon lairs better.

"Yes, yes, my dears and I will be grateful for your guidance!" Holding Orion tightly, Artemis walked in one direction, waving to the others behind her to follow. "As for the wyvern's lair you're looking for, I'll take you there~"

Traveling through the dense forest, Orion perfectly avoided forks in the road thanks to his knowledge of the area.

We arrived at a dry, desolate plain.

"Pfft, here it is." After carefully confirming the surrounding terrain and finding it identical to his memories, Orion returned to the group, waved his furry little hand, and cheerfully pointed to a towering spot. "Dragon lairs are mostly in desolate places like this."

"Wow~ My dear, you are so knowledgeable~" Artemis looked at him with a lovestruck expression.

“…Yes, indeed. Orion is right.” Marie murmured through the communication device, a hint of reluctance in her voice. “The wyverns here are indeed reacting more strongly than those we detected in the dense forest…”

“Well then,” Fujimaru Ritsuka turned to the Servants, revealing what she considered a 'cruel' smile, “let’s begin the hunt!”

“Then let’s not delay, and also for everyone’s convenience.” Nian Zhuo stepped to the front, wearing the Zi-O basic armor, and took out an orange-yellow watch from his pocket. “Asterius, can you lend me a hand?” Nian Zhuo pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

“…Hmm?” He looked at Euryale, who was sitting on his shoulder, and then gently jumped off.

“It’s up to you, Asterius, and Nianzhuo.” Gripping her golden shortbow tightly, Euryale guessed what they were planning to do, then stepped aside. “Be careful.”

“…Hmm.” Walking to Nian Zhuo’s side, Asterius looked down at the mysterious Heroic Spirit twisting the orange-yellow dial in his hand, and stuck his twin axes aside.

"Alright, what's about to happen is a bit dangerous, ladies, please step back." Nian Zhuo placed the orange-yellow dial on the driver at his waist and then flipped it over. "After all, what's about to happen is not suitable for children."

Just like before, the zipper drew an arc in mid-air above Nianzhuo's head, and then a huge orange fell out of the zipper.

"This scene... no matter how you look at it, it's incredibly impactful..." Ritsuka sighed silently, looking at Mash, who was speechless with exasperation.

"Rider Time! Kamen Rider Zi-O!! Armor Time! Soiya! Gaim~!"

The samurai, wielding two swords, once again stands on the battlefield.

"So, Asterius, after I've cracked the earth beneath my feet, can I finish you off with my full power?" Nian Zhuo stamped his foot on the ground, his face grave as he looked at the numerous wounds covering the other's body. "If your injuries haven't healed yet, then I'll think of another way—" However, a thick arm appeared in front of him the next moment.

The gust of wind from the punch stirred up the dust behind Nian Zhuo, making Nian Zhuo's heart leap into his throat.

"This is really... even if you want to say you're fine, you shouldn't act like this. It's enough to scare people to death." Patting his chest to calm his racing heart, Nian Zhuo nodded to Asterius with satisfaction. "Then, the plan to completely drive these dragons out of their lair shall begin now—!" At the same time, he flipped the driver at his waist with his other hand.

Nencho held the two large orange-colored swords together, their hilts connected to form a long, double-edged blade, with an orange-yellow aura constantly gathering on the blade.

"Squash Time Break—!"

The massive orange blade of energy sliced ​​through the ground in an instant, penetrating deep into it with a destructive force.

The surrounding land trembled from the massive slash, and the roars of the dragons echoed from below.

“Well then, Asterius, please—!” Stepping aside, Nianzhuo removed the orange dial from the driver and put it back in his pocket.

“…Hmm.” A simple reply, but Nian Zhuo noticed the moment he left that the berserker’s lips had curled into a truly cruel smile, and his muscles had begun to bulge unnaturally.

"——!——!" Then, the berserker's right fist, even carrying air, slammed into the crack that Nian Zhuo's sword energy had cut open, accompanied by the berserker's roar.

"Thump—!" A heavy thud, accompanied by the devastating destruction of the terrain, caused a small earthquake in the surrounding area, a result of the combined attack by Nianzhuo and Asterius.

Mashu and Ritsuka, after hearing Euryale's explanation, retreated to a safe distance without hesitation.

The ground sank because of Asterius's punch, so the wyverns living in the nest must have been in even more pain.

The sound of falling rocks and the trembling roars of the wyverns echoed from beneath the ground.

Nianzhuo and Asterius's tactic of luring the snakes out of their hole not only successfully drew out the wyverns but also enraged them all.

Whether this outcome is ultimately beneficial to them depends on their combat skills.

"Everyone! Prepare for battle—!" Nian Zhuo felt the earth tremble again, but he knew that this time it was not a continuation of the destruction caused by Asterius, but rather the angry momentum of the wyverns about to rush out of those cave entrances.

He pulled the watch face out of his waist again, and this time, looking at the yellow-green watch face in his hand, Nianzhuo finally showed a relieved smile.

“This time, we really have to rely on you guys, Eiji and Ankh…” Nencho twisted the watch face in his hand and placed it on the driver at his waist.

Then, from somewhere in the sky, a red falcon flew over.

In the unnoticed bushes, emerald green locusts leaped toward Nianzhuo.

From the dense forest that Nianzhuo and his companions had just passed through, a golden tiger pounced on Nianzhuo.

"This is..." Even a goddess like Euryale was stunned as she watched the strange sights unfold one after another. "Who exactly is that guy?"

"Just an ordinary Heroic Spirit~ Nianzhuo always says that." Patting Euryale's forehead, Ritsuka walked into the battlefield with a confident smile. "I'll leave the ranged support to you, Mash, and Captain Drake! Let's go together!" She took the hands of the Servants beside her.

“This is truly… an indescribable adventure.” Drake shook his head, but still took a step forward with a smile.

"Yes! Mash Kyrielight, be ready to attack at any time!" With smiles, the two rushed into the battlefield together.

"Asterius!" Nian Zhuo shouted to the berserker who was gripping his twin axes, ready to fight. His expression, trapped by the tri-colored armor, was quite amusing. "I'll leave Euryale to you! I'll handle the battle here!"

“…Hmm.” Asterius wanted to say something, but after staring at Nianzhuo for a while, he nodded at him and said “Hmm.” He then ran towards Euryale in the distance.

The tremors from beneath the ground grew increasingly intense, and Nianzhuo knew that time was running out.

The rider who has possessed the power of the 800-year-old coin, now Zi-O who has inherited his power, declares that he will continue to fight!

"Zi-O OOO form! Nice to meet you!" Although he didn't know who he was talking to, Nian Zhuo still said these words solemnly.

"Rider Time! Kamen Rider Zi-O!! Armor Time! Taka Tora Batta! OOO!"

Then, countless dragons flew out of the nest not far away.

"Clang—" The golden tiger claw on Nian Zhuo's wrist popped out.

Is there anything else that can satisfy me?!

Sharp, golden claws slashed open the necks of the two-legged wyverns.

Bathed in the scorching dragon blood, and with the enhanced vision from the eagle coin, Nian Zhuo could clearly see the fury in the eyes of each two-legged dragon, as well as the despair before death.

not to mention……

As Nian Zhuo was engrossed in the battle before him, a two-legged wyvern stealthily flapped its wings behind him, and emerald green wind blades were about to form.

Then, a golden arrow pierced its wing, and a flaming lead bullet struck its head, leaving it lifeless as it fell helplessly to the ground.

"Ugh, so tired..." Euryale loosened her grip on the bowstring and barely managed to see Nianzhuo moving freely among the dragons. "That guy, doesn't he have any consideration for us who are cleaning up the remaining enemies for him... I'm a goddess, a goddess! That perverted violent maniac."

“…Hmm.” Asterius looked with satisfaction at the several wyverns lying in front of him.

"Alright, Asterius, take us there, we should be there soon." Then, the gentle body sat on his shoulder again, and Asterius nodded, picked up his double axes, and walked into the center surrounded by dragons.

"Hahaha!" On the other side, blowing away the smoke from the gun barrels, Drake laughed heartily. "Alright, alright, Goddess, you'll have plenty of time to rest after we deal with these wyverns!" However, his arms began to tremble involuntarily. Drake, who was with Nianzhuo and the others in the wyvern formation, shouted so that the Goddess on the other side could hear him.

"Finally! Everyone! We've reached halfway!" Mashu casually slapped a flying dragon with its claws outstretched onto the ground, then silently counted it up again in her mind. "Please keep pushing!"

"So hot, so tired, I'm about to collapse..." Even Drake, constantly using the gun in his hand, felt mentally exhausted. "I really want to drink..."

"The captain is such a coward." The sharp-tongued Euryale entered and, seeing Drake lying on the ground, her mischievous nature immediately led her to launch an attack.

"Weren't you the same?!" Drake, lying on the ground looking utterly dejected, glared at Euryale at this moment. "Didn't you just leave everything to Asterius except for that one arrow...?"

“Is that all?” Euryale patted Asterius and smiled happily. “I give the instructions, and he will act accordingly.”

"Hey~ Hey~ Darling?" Artemis gazed at the little bear clinging to her, her silver-white longbow conjuring arrows as white as moonlight, which once again shattered the formation of the wyverns.

"What?" Orion answered very decisively, but he was still somewhat worried about Artemis's distraction during the battle.

"Do wyverns have male and female forms?" Artemis stared curiously at them flying in mid-air, but her arrows never stopped.
