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

Then, several talismans flew towards Tesla's body through the crack blasted open by Kintoki. The bright red patterns flashed along the talismans and turned into raging flames that shot towards Tesla.

However, it struck the demonic mist surrounding the opponent's body, and the flames shrank at a visible speed. In the end, the talisman also shattered and scattered into countless pieces of paper.

"—I see!" Ignoring the talisman thrown by Tamamo-no-Mae, Tesla stared intently at Kintoki, who was swinging his golden axe at him again. While dodging, he didn't hold back his praise, "As expected of someone called the son of the Thunder God!"

The other party didn't care at all about the places he passed through, those places where the demonic mist had been activated. He passed through them as if nothing had happened, his body shining with golden lightning.

"You're quite capable even in the activated magic mist! You seem completely unaffected!" Seeing the opponent's still-sharp axe, Tesla swung a purple arrow to clash with it. "If it were an ordinary Servant, their spirit core would have been devoured! Truly worthy of being a Heroic Spirit summoned by my lightning magic mist, fighting on the back of humanity's hopes! However! Hahahaha!"

Suddenly, Tesla stopped in his tracks, faced the axe swinging towards him, and smiled smugly before tilting to the side.

Kintoki's figure brushed past his body and crashed into the ground behind him, with golden lightning instantly roaring.

However, compared to the beginning, the lightning was somewhat weakened.

Other heroic spirits might not be able to see it, but Tesla, who also manipulated lightning, did.

"Your spirit core—it seems to have developed some cracks, huh?" As if in warning, as if mocking, lightning slithered like snakes between Tesla's fingers. "You won't last much longer! You'll only be pulverized by my lightning!"

"Ha, this way of dying isn't Golden enough—" complaining, Kintoki also realized his own situation and complained to Tamamo-no-Mae beside him, "I said, can you at least make this demonic mist behave itself?" Because it was too troublesome, Kintoki even briefly overcame his discomfort with women, and his tone became a bit rough.

"Huh?" What he got in return was a completely dissatisfied look from the other party, who even had the leisure to put her hands on her hips and point at his nose. "Can you please stop giving me orders?! Only my master can speak to me in such a forceful tone! That is, the peerless ~controller of time~ Ah, I've said too much." He coughed lightly twice, and Tamamo smiled again, while casually pointing to the magical mist around Tesla's body.

"Besides, although I've been providing support since just now..." Tamamo-no-Mae tried throwing out another talisman, but the flames she unleashed had no effect on the demonic mist. She shrugged, "But spells are hard to work on these demonic mists..."

"Hey! That's too loud..." Jin Shi suddenly softened, scratching his hair, his understanding of his inability to adapt to women deepened.

But seeing Tesla's slightly amused expression, as if he had them all figured out, Kintoki pouted in resentment.

"...Really!" Golden lightning roared, and Kintoki prepared for battle again. "Fox, I'm counting on you, do your best!" He turned to Tamamo-no-Mae and shouted, swinging his crimson fist and charging towards Tesla with his axe.

"Now you are my lifeline! Namo Hachiman Daibosatsu!" He jumped up and charged at Tesla again.

"Eh? This is your faith? Is it a faith?" With a smug look on her face, Tamamo-no-Mae covered her mouth with one hand, finally revealing what could be considered a smile.

"Yes, it's so beautiful..." Tesla gazed at Tamamo-no-Mae's smile and exclaimed sincerely, "That smile is as radiant as the sun! It burns my heart! Fox Lady, if it were you, perhaps you could accompany my mythology!"

"Migu?!" Tamamo-no-Mae's fox ears twitched, and she looked at Tesla with a surprised expression. "Is that faith over there too?! Oh dear, I seem to be quite popular—" She cupped her cheeks, looking very happy.

"Oh no!" Tamamo-no-Mae, who had suddenly regained her composure, hurriedly patted her cheeks. "No, no, no, I can only be devoted to my master."

"Uh... Oh!" Kintoki didn't understand, but he still waved his fist at her. "Then please continue to provide support!! It's about time."

Pointing at Tesla, Kintoki's eyes gradually gleamed behind his pink sunglasses, and his magical power increased at a visible rate.

"Go! Let's ruin that guy's fancy suit!" Gripping the axe in both hands, golden lightning shot into the sky, gathering dense dark clouds above Kintoki's head.

"Come on—get ready, unleash the ultimate move!" With the axe slung over his shoulder, golden lightning surged within the increasingly thick thunderclouds in the sky.

"Oh—?" Tesla's eyes narrowed slightly, as magic was gathering around the other person. "So—you're getting serious?!"

"Come on! Let me witness your lightning! Kintoki Sakata!"

"—Watch me send you flying! A fatal blow!"

In the sky, from within the dense dark clouds, golden lightning descended and struck Kintoki's axe.

"—Golden Spar!"

It was as if heaven and earth had been split apart! An explosion came from Kintoki's axe.

A golden line—

Another Zio watch face?

A golden thread fell to the ground.

Then, it transformed into a golden semicircle, swallowing the entire street.

Kintoki's axe is called the Golden Eater.

It is a giant axe imbued with the power of the Thunder God that cannot be wielded without Kintoki's superhuman strength.

It is loaded with fifteen lightning-infused cartridges, capable of exploding to increase its destructive power. Its true name is presumably something else, but Kintoki is able to activate it using this name.

Therefore, this golden semicircle even encompassed the entire street, directly crushing and swallowing the surrounding ruins.

A tremendous roar came, and at the same time, Nian Zhuo and the others were finally about to arrive at the street where Tesla was located.

Immediately afterwards, a shock that shook the entire earth came, and in Nianzhuo and the others' eyes, golden light waves rose from not far away and struck the dark clouds in the sky.

"...We're very close to the target! Nianzhuo, and Ritsuka too!" Mary kept in touch with Mashu and the others, reporting any unusual reactions as they watched the reaction on the screen.

The golden semicircle gradually dissipated, and at the same time, Nian Zhuo and the others finally arrived at the street where Tesla was located.

What came into view was a huge pit with a radius of about five meters.

The surrounding buildings, streets, and even ruins—everything has vanished.

At the edge of this giant pit, two figures could be seen lying on the ground.

"Hmm, it looks like there are people here?" Mordred squinted slightly, carefully examining the figures lying on the ground. "It's a man and a woman. Judging from the fact that they're not dead, they should be Servants?"

"They should be Servants who appeared from the Demonic Mist." Based on the current situation, this was the only inference Mary could make. "Judging from their reactions, there are probably two of them, and they show no signs of attacking you."

Suddenly, the stronger of the two figures lying on the ground moved and shook off the rubble.

His golden hair was a little messy, and he held his proud axe in one hand, leaning back against the rubble of the ruins to support his figure.

—It was Sakata Kintoki.

He looked very weak, but his gaze was still as sharp as a knife. After opening his eyes, he quickly saw Ritsuka and the others, and then he relaxed.

"Oh." He waved to them, signaling them to come over, and dusted himself off. "...The hero that guy was talking about, he was probably referring to you guys, right?"

“…Eh?” Ritsuka was somewhat surprised, looking at the other person who was obviously seriously injured, and did not answer the other person’s question immediately.

"Whether you're a hero or not is irrelevant." Mordred stepped forward and shielded Ritsuka behind her, looking at Kintoki's battered and bruised appearance. "The important thing is that you look like you fought that guy."

"Hmm..." Jin Shi nodded weakly, looking at the crack that had suddenly appeared on his chest, and pursed his lips in annoyance. "Anyway, well, I've already cleared away all the dangerous fog for you guys."

His strong, bear-like body collapsed, and Kintoki lay flat on the somewhat dirty ground, his eyes behind his sunglasses slowly closing.

"Let's hand it all over to the next generation, or rather..." His voice trailed off, as if he were about to fall asleep at any moment, "I've already given you the best opportunities... I need to... rest... Whew..."

With his eyes closed, Kintoki leaned the axe against the wall and fell asleep, snoring softly.

"Oh dear, after all, having to fight while having a lot of magic power absorbed, of course I'll be exhausted and suffer from the five signs of decay~" At some point, the female servant beside him also woke up, her pair of fox ears on her head twitched, and she lowered her eyes to look at the sleeping Kintoki in front of her.

"But I can't help but admire it, it was a brilliant strike..." Tamamo-no-Mae looked around and nodded in satisfaction. "As expected of one of Raikō's Four Heavenly Kings, his courage is truly astounding."

"I also have to... thank you for your help... huff huff huff..." Jin Shi mumbled softly as if talking in his sleep, then turned over and continued to sleep.

"...You say that, but why do you still look away?!" Completely ignoring the other's injuries, Tamamo-no-Mae patted the other's back. "Hey! You did look away! Why? Is your faith a lie?!"

Unrestrainedly slapping the other person's back, Tamamo-no-Mae completely failed to understand why the other person seemed to be avoiding her like the plague.

However, in the end, OMO's understanding was that he was also a little afraid to look directly at the fox spirit who was kneeling on the ground.

Isn't the neckline of that shrine maiden outfit way too low?! It's showing! A huge expanse of her fair skin is showing! It's practically unbearable to look at!

"...??" Suddenly, the fox ears of the shrine maiden Fox, who was kneeling on the ground, twitched, and her nose twitched. "Eh...? I think I can smell my master's scent...?"

"Yes, you've done a great job. We, as Chaldea, express our sincere gratitude to you." Mary thanked the two Servants in front of her, then switched the channel back to Mash and the others. "Now all we need to do is chase after them and keep attacking. Once the active magic mist is gone, Nian Zhuo, Mordred, and Mash will be able to fight him on equal terms!"

“Nen-cho…?!” Tamamo-no-Mae, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly turned around, her entire fox ears turned around, and her eyes flashed as she looked over Ritsuka and the others’ faces.

"Now all we have to do is chase after that guy and fight him to the death!" Mordred rubbed his nose with his thumb, revealing a confident smile. "Alright, let's keep chasing, Ritsuka, Mashu, and... Nencho?!"

Suddenly, for some reason, Mordred's eyes widened, and she pointed at Nianzhuo, shouting in alarm.

"—Ha, what happened to Nianzhuo?—Hey! Nianzhuo! What are you doing?!" Mary heard Mordred's exclamation and switched the screen in confusion, then was speechless with surprise at the scene in front of her.

"What are you talking about—" Suddenly, Nianzhuo felt a fragrant breeze enter his nostrils.

Tamamo-no-Mae, who had been kneeling on the ground just moments before, suddenly vanished from her spot, wrapped her arms around Nencho's waist, and brought her head close to his ear.

"Kam~ Kam~" She nibbled on his earlobe.

"—?!" Instantly, a tingling sensation ran through Nian Zhuo's entire body. He looked at Tamamo-no-Mae, who had somehow appeared behind him, with surprise. "What—are you doing?!"

"Ah 2—Ah?!!" Ritsuka and Mashu had only just reacted when Ritsuka immediately pointed at Tamamo-no-Mae, her mouth agape.

Although Mashu didn't say anything, she immediately grabbed Nencho's hand and broke free from Tamamo-no-Mae's embrace.

“Nen-Nen-Zhuo-san?!” Mashu shook the somewhat dizzy Nen-Zhuo and patted his cheek anxiously. “Wake up, Nen-Zhuo-san? — What did you do?” Seeing Nen-Zhuo’s eyes gradually clear, Mashu turned to Tamamo, who was standing in place.

"Eh~ You've met a lot of women behind my back again, Master~" Tamamo-no-Mae grabbed the mirror behind her back with both hands, her face also turning cold as she stared at Ritsuka and Mash's faces. "What? How long are you two females going to keep my master occupied?"

"Master...Master...Master?!" Ritsuka's face turned bright red, her gaze shifting back and forth between Tamamo-no-Mae and Nencho.

"Master?!" With a loud bang, even knocking over her own cup, Mary looked at Nianzhuo in astonishment. "Hey! Nianzhuo! Explain yourself! What's going on with Master?!"

"I...I...How would I know?!" Nian Zhuo, whose brain had been frozen, finally came to his senses. Looking at Tamamo-no-Mae staring at Mash and Ritsuka with hostility, he shook his head frantically. "I...I've never even seen her before! --Um, why don't you say something too, Tamamo-no-Mae!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Nianzhuo regretted them—

"Oh dear~ You're actually going to tell us the story of our love~ Master is so clever~" Tamamo-no-Mae, her face flushed, cupped her cheeks and looked shyly at Nianzhuo with slightly narrowed eyes. "But that's more like it~ Let these philandering cats know who the real queen is~"

"My life is over—!" Nian Zhuo wanted to shout this, but he was held back by Ritsuka and Mashu and could not move.

"Ha—! You still won't let go of my master? You bunch of philandering cats, when are you going to stop my love-love with my master? Tamamo-no-Mae is angry! Oh, Tamamo-no-Mae is really angry! Okay, then let me show you! The true bond between my master and me is what makes us reunite. No matter when or where, seeing this means my master and Tamamo-no-Mae are reunited!" After reciting a long string of lines at an extremely fast pace, Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly reached into her chest, as if she was about to pull something out.

"Come on! Noble Phantasm: [Tamamo and Master's Contract Item]!" Suddenly, she pulled out a round object from her chest, even muttering strange words.

"There's no way there's such a treasure!" Nian Zhuo loudly complained while staring at Tamamo-no-Mae with dead fish eyes.

A flash of silver light appeared, and Tamamo-no-Mae held out the round object she was holding to Nencho.

"Look! Master! Once you see this, you'll be certain that you are Tamamo's master!" The tone was confident, but Tamamo-no-Mae's face was completely devoid of a smile, instead displaying an extremely serious expression.

"So how could that be—" The voice abruptly stopped.

When Nenjo saw the thing Tamamo-no-Mae was extending towards him, Nenjo's eyes widened.

Thoughts, quickly stripped away.

"Mr. Nencho? Mr. Nencho?!" Mash, Ritsuka, and Mary's voices rang in their earpieces. Looking at the suddenly still Nencho, Mash, Ritsuka, and Mary in Chaldea all focused their attention on the round object in Tamamo-no-Mae's outstretched hand.

"Huh...?" Mashu narrowed her eyes, looking at the object lying in Tamamo-no-Mae's palm. "It feels... kind of familiar..."

A silver casing, a disc shape, and the head statue of Zio, the king of time, engraved with the inscription.

“Isn’t this… very similar to Nencho’s…” Mary had never been able to observe Nencho’s dial up close, but she had paid special attention to it during the previous battle, so she immediately recognized that the item Tamamo-no-Mae had taken out was similar to Nencho’s.

“…Yes, it does look a lot like something from Mr. Nencho—” Ritsuka carefully examined the Zio watch face lying in Tamamo-no-Mae’s palm, stroking her chin in puzzlement.
