Please play Fate/Go with me.

"What is this?" Mash asked.

"This is an electronic version of a battle assistant Heroic Spirit, created by connecting my memories and a part of my spirit to the database of Upper Chaldea. It basically has the same functions as Mash's phone, which can open a map to detect monsters from other dimensions that appear nearby, and it can also contact me."

"I named her Da Vinci Lily No. 2. How about that? Isn't she cute? She also offers a personalized dress-up feature, like a cat-eared maid outfit, a quilt outfit, and a Meddard divine outfit," Da Vinci said confidently about his work.

Chapter 29 Miniature Da Vinci

The screen showed a little girl with long, curly black hair, dressed in a brightly colored outfit—a European Renaissance-style pleated collar with a blue ribbon, a red dress, and long blue gloves. She bore a striking resemblance to Leonardo da Vinci, but was considerably more childlike, and the phone could switch between a miniature child version and a chibi-style two-headed figure.

At this moment, the little girl opened her big, round eyes and looked over the screen.

"I'd rather have a chibi version of Gudako than a Da Vinci-chan," Mashu said, sizing up the miniature Da Vinci.

Yuihama leaned over and said, "Yeah, she definitely looks much better than she does in person."

Yukinoshita nodded and said, "It feels like if I put on cat ears, I'd want to take it home and raise it."

Because it was so lifelike, Yui tried to greet the little figure.

"Yah hello~! Little Da-chan?"

"Yah hello~!" The mini Da Vinci Lily on the screen waved to Yuihama and greeted her.

"Wow! She spoke!" Yui exclaimed, hugging the black-haired girl.

“I already told you, this is a game assistant, a mini electronic version of a Heroic Spirit, so of course it has considerable intelligence. Little Da Nyan, can you meow?” Yukinoshita said with a smile.

"Is that so, meow? Meow~!" Da Vinci Lily, a chibi-style character dressed as a cat-eared maid.

"So cute!" Yui exclaimed, clasping her hands together in admiration.

“Yes, meow...meow~!” Yukinoshita was completely captivated by the little figure.

"Whoa... Two girls have already been captured." Shirou strongly disagreed, 'Especially considering that the soul acting cute inside is actually the white-bearded old man from that famous egg-drawing story, it's truly terrifying.'

"Hmm, at least it's incredibly effective! And this cute appearance can lower people's guard, so persuading members to join should be even smoother," Da Vinci said with a meaningful smile.

"Wait! You don't mean you want to install this on everyone who plays this game, do you?" Shirou asked.

"Yes, but it will only be activated for those with the corresponding qualities. I plan to use this as an insurance mechanism. Think about it, if someone gets into danger, Xiao Da can sense it and fly over to assist them in summoning and fighting."

"Of course, if it's obvious someone doesn't want to fight, I'll just tell them to run away before they wet their pants," Leonardo da Vinci explained with a smile.

"Well, that's a good idea." Shirou nodded upon hearing this.

“Then I will update it for you now!” Da Vinci said, and began operating the machine.

The Da Vinci Lily 2 within the tablet, via Chaldea's data channel, flies into the FGO server terminal connected to the Holy Grail, allowing access to the backend of every phone with FGO installed. As the Fate series expands, its reach will extend even further.

The phone rang with a 'ding'.

"Huh? Is it updated already?" Shirou asked.

"Hello, Shirou!" Little Da Miao, dressed in a cat-eared maid outfit, appeared on the boy's phone screen, pinching the cat fist she had just learned from her fellow Snow Cat, and said cutely.

"The data usage hasn't changed, and the memory usage doesn't seem to have changed either! Could Da Vinci actually be incredibly amazing?" Yui Hama exclaimed in surprise.

"It's really amazing. I thought such artificial intelligence would take up a lot of memory. It seems that the other world not only has magic, but also technology that is far superior to this world?" Yukinoshita thought thoughtfully.

“After all, Leonardo da Vinci was an all-around genius,” Mashu praised without reservation.

"Hmm, you can admire me even more, you know," Leonardo da Vinci nodded and said with a smug smile.

"Why don't we just develop an app and let all players experience the charm of my masterpiece: 'FGO·VR·Da Vinci Lily No. 2'? They'll definitely say things like, 'This adorable Da Vinci isn't a swindler. I'll farm all my magic crystals every day, then head to the shop on time and buy everything!'"

"Truly worthy of being Leonardo da Vinci's father!" the boys and girls exclaimed in unison.

"..." Mashu felt that her seniors admired her for something wrong, and in VR, she should be the protagonist!

"But wouldn't that be like having your phone monitored by a hacker?" Shirou frowned, turning his gaze to the black-haired girl who was still meowing at the screen. "Hey, don't play on your phone while you're taking a bath."

"What? It's none of your business!" Yukinoshita was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and glared at the boy with a red face.

Little Cat retorted angrily to the boy, "That's so unfair, Shirou! I'm not the original form; I'm a completely different girl! I just have memories from before the original form! I'll protect Master's privacy!"

“I don’t doubt that, but won’t Leonardo da Vinci find out about the data you’ve collected?” Shirou countered.

"Although I love all things beautiful, I am the most perfect myself!" Leonardo da Vinci confidently puffed out his chest, displaying his perfect figure. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was clear.

Shirou glanced at Leonardo da Vinci, then at Yukino, and realized he had said something very rude.

"Sorry……"

"Don't apologize!" Yukino Yukinoshita felt the malice of the world at this moment. Recently, the women around her all seemed to have developed too well.

Da Vinci is a pervert, so let's ignore him. Yui is one thing, but why is it that these juniors have grown up so much better?!

Yukinoshita held her phone, gazing at the little Tatsumi on the screen. Only through her could she find some comfort.

"Meow meow meow??" Little Da Miao felt the girl's gaze and tilted its head in confusion.

On the school rooftop, a beautiful young woman with long, flowing, flaxen hair, gentle features, and elegant manners possessed a unique charm that only a well-bred young lady could have cultivated from childhood. (Monthly membership group: 694936135)

After finishing her meal alone in a chair, the girl clasped her hands together, put away her lunchbox, and then skillfully took out her phone.

I opened the chat app and found a new private message.

"Group owner, thank you for the information you provided before. I will definitely repay this kindness."

The girl recognized the cat as Snow Cat, a friend from her gaming group named Mr. Ai Pan. Although they had never met, she sensed that Snow Cat was a cute girl who loved cats, but her speech was more about social etiquette. This maturity beyond her years, coupled with her adorable name, was striking.

The girl chuckled upon seeing the message, her fingers nimbly tapping the screen as she quickly typed a reply.

"You're welcome. It's rare to find someone willing to discuss the game with me, and I'm very happy."

"By the way, group admin, have you noticed anything different about FGO right now?"

"Different?" The girl with flaxen hair looked at her phone, opened FGO in confusion, and felt that there was no change. Could it be that they were talking about an improvement in the battle model of a certain character?

The girl entered the game; her character's name was Asuna, and her level was 140. The reason it was level 140 was because the current level cap in the game was only 140; otherwise, as a seasoned player, her level would be far higher.

Opening my Servant list, rows of glittering gold Servants, the first two rows of which are all fully upgraded five-star Servants, are dazzling. If Mashu saw this, she would immediately kneel down and beg for his help.

Although the girl always maintained an image of being an excellent student, intelligent and gentle in class, she was actually quite a game enthusiast.

Although she prefers large-scale games and seeks the thrill of walking on the edge of life and death, large-scale, brutal single-player games where you can easily get hit by a boss and have your health bar emptied might be more suitable for her.

As for mobile games, only FGO can keep her playing. She feels that it has a kind of magical charm that attracts her. Before she knows it, she has spent the money that could have bought several games.

Fortunately, she was quite lucky. She has now collected all the game characters, completed the Treasure Artifact quests and story quests, and is now a casual player, doing daily quests to collect fragments and green cubes before going home to play other games.

Sometimes she would wish there were more exciting games, like climbing a 100-story tower, starting from the bottom and going all the way up, and without any ranged attacks, charging up with a sword to fight a seven or eight-meter-tall boss guarding each floor.

However, reality is often disappointing. VR games are expensive but imperfect, while live-action games lack a sense of fantasy. Games that allow you to immerse yourself in virtual reality while you're asleep still only exist in anime and light novels.

The girl finished completing her daily tasks, checked the time, and realized it was almost time for class, so she got up and went back to the classroom.

Unbeknownst to the girl, through the connected Chaldea interdimensional portal, a small, black-haired figure, glowing with light, quietly slipped into the background of the girl's phone via the FGO system's portal.

Chapter 30 Conditions for Possession Summoning

At this moment, we are at the Service Department.

"What did they say?" Shirou, Yuihama, and Mashu all looked at Yukinoshita and asked.

“No, they said they didn’t find anything unusual.” Yukinoshita shook her head.

Because Little Cat has already connected to the server terminal, it can access everyone's phone at any time. As Da Vinci said, Chaldea will open the Spirit Assist System to qualified Masters, bringing them in as partners to protect the world.

Yukinoshita remembered the game group leader who had given her detailed information about the game monsters. The person was easy to get along with, knew a lot of tricks, and was so good at playing. He should be the one chosen by Da Vinci.

So while sending a message to express my gratitude, I casually inquired about whether the other person would become a partner, but judging from their indifferent response, it seemed that they weren't at the moment.

"What a pity. They must be a veteran player. If we could have persuaded them to join, we might have received a comprehensive boost in combat power, tactics, and strategy," Mashu said regretfully.

"Is that so? Is that so? Then it seems that the four of us will have to work together for the time being." Yuihama said with a nonchalant smile.

"You seem pretty happy," Shirou remarked, looking at the girl with the bun hairstyle.

"Because I think, although it's good for the Service Club to be more lively, Mashu has only just joined. Everyone doesn't need to be in such a hurry. Let's relax and think of a solution together slowly, isn't that good too?" Yui explained with a smile.

"That's true. Lunch break is almost over. Everyone should go back to the classroom first, and we can meet up here again in the afternoon." Yukinoshita said, standing up and tidying up the tea set.

"I'll do it, you guys go back to the classroom first," Shirou said, taking the tea set from the girl.

"Honestly! We'll be waiting for you, let's go together!" Yui Hama said to the boy with dissatisfaction.

Yukinoshita stood there without leaving, and Mashu nodded repeatedly.

"Alright." Shirou took the tea set to the tap to rinse it clean, laid it out to dry, and then went back to the classroom with the girls.

"See you this afternoon, senior."

"Okay, see you this afternoon."

Mashu was in the first-year international class. She waved to her seniors as she reached the stairs and went downstairs.

Yukinoshita, a second-year international student, took a few steps forward and separated from Shirou and Yuihama.

So only the boy and girl remained in the corridor, walking silently forward.

"Shirou!" The girl suddenly stopped and called out to the boy who was walking in front of her.

"What?" Shirou turned around.

"Don't say lonely things like 'Let me go first' anymore. I'll be waiting for you! Absolutely!" Yuihama said, then ran back to the classroom first.

"Yah hello~!" Yuihama pushed open the door, returned to her little circle, and chatted with her friends.

The four boys were also making a ruckus and laughing today.

The boy paused for a moment, then walked into the classroom. The silver-haired delinquent girl, Saki, looked over, and the little angel, Ayaka, waved in their direction.

Shirou nodded to them and returned to his seat. The classroom was peaceful today.

After school ended in the afternoon, Shirou first showed up at the archery club before returning to the school building and arriving at the service club.

The girls were already chatting inside, and Shirou didn't interrupt them. He walked into the classroom, moved a chair, and sat down.

Yukinoshita was browsing through the data that Da Vinci had sent to her phone after the FGO system update.

"It seems that not everyone can meet the requirements for possession summoning; mutual recognition is necessary. The more unique and legendary a heroic spirit is, the harder it is to find a host. Kind and upright heroic spirits will not choose hosts with evil hearts, while heroic spirits that yearn for freedom and act on their own will also value those who are well-behaved and honest."

Yukinoshita then posed a question to the group. "For example, Joan of Arc, what kind of child do you think could be possessed and summoned?"

"A 17-year-old high school girl?" Shirou said.

"A country girl?" Mashu tilted her head in confusion.

"French? Girl in military uniform? That's too difficult!" Yui Hama imagined it for a moment, then scratched her head and sighed.

"Yes, it is very likely that there is only one such famous and special heroic spirit as Joan of Arc among the more than seven billion people in the world."

"As a saint or national heroine, one must meet the hardware requirements in terms of faith, lineage, spirit, gender, physique, personality, and spirituality. There are also software requirements in terms of character, beliefs, and desires. To improve compatibility, there must be similarities, commonalities, and mutual understanding."

"I see." Shirou nodded thoughtfully. As for his physique... that's certainly true.

"Well, it's good that you understand." Yukinoshita nodded approvingly when she saw how quickly the boy understood.

Like Ushiwakamaru and Yukinoshita, they also have a powerful older sister, Minamoto no Yoritomo, the founder of the Wakoku Shogunate system. And then there's Yukinoshita Haruno, who is incredibly shrewd and flawless.

Yukino Yukinoshita, harboring the same complex feelings of wanting to be recognized by her older sister yet not wanting to become like her, genuinely sympathizes with and loves Ushiwakamaru, and the Heroic Spirit Ushiwakamaru senses these feelings and responds to the girl.

Yui Yuigahama was actually a plain and unremarkable girl in junior high school. She debuted in high school, starting to dye her hair and wear makeup, aspiring to become... Her motto is, "Life is short, fall in love! Girl!"

Because of a tragic love affair in her past life, Suzuka Gozen longs for a wonderful romance, so she transforms into a fox high school girl, waiting for her destined one to call her.

Shirou has a strong belief in protecting the world, his family, and his friends; Saint George is a great hero known for his protection, having defeated the poisonous dragon that wreaks havoc everywhere and protected many countries.

"Once the body meets the requirements for possession, the key is compatibility. To meet the requirements for possession summoning, it must reach 50% or more. The higher the compatibility, the greater the power of the Heroic Spirit can be unleashed. The way to increase compatibility is to have passion for the Heroic Spirit, nurture and strengthen it, fulfill its wishes, and build a deeper bond with it."

Similar bodies, similar spirits, similar circumstances; but most importantly, it's about mutual recognition between the summoner and the heroic spirit. The summoner recognizes the heroic spirit's beliefs, and the heroic spirit recognizes the summoner's thoughts.

Heroic Spirits are the sublimation of human heroes. There are countless powerful, handsome, and beautiful Heroic Spirits, and the most famous and outstanding ones will naturally be loved by many. However, there will always be differences. People who like D'Eon may also like Gilgamesh the Younger or Emperor the Younger, but they may not necessarily like the King of Heroes or the King of Conquerors, but they will definitely all like Astolfo.

There will always be people who harbor extraordinary feelings for certain heroic spirits, resonating with or being moved by them. This will be the opportunity to encounter a heroic spirit, and the connection between the two.

For example, there is the heroic spirit Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who held lofty ideals and carried them through to the end, despite not being recognized or understood by anyone, and still persevered in his efforts.

For example, there is the great hero Arash, who loves peace, is kind and upright, sacrifices himself for others, and will resolutely draw his bow and launch a 'meteor' even when faced with countless choices.

For example, Nitocris, strong and lovely, drowned her enemy in the River Styx to avenge her brother, but could not avoid retaliation. To uphold the Pharaoh's dignity, she threw herself into a dark room and left the world of the living.

FGO players are all over the world, working in all walks of life. Perhaps in the Hall of Heroes, there is a Heroic Spirit who shares your ideals and is waiting to be summoned.
