Please play Fate/Go with me.

"Mash? Who are you talking to when you recite such long lines?" Shirou complained, looking at the pink-haired girl who seemed to be staring blankly into space.

"Shirou-senpai! Don't say it out loud! It would be a waste to waste such a touching monologue!" Mashu pouted unhappily.

Chapter 31 Summoning the Heroic Spirit

As Fate Corporation gradually gets back on track, the genius CEO girl originally wanted to record these monologues as promotional slogans for the next company event.

However, Shirou interrupted her, and Mashu forgot everything. She looked at her clueless senior with dissatisfaction. She was about to complain a bit, but suddenly her mouth dropped open and her eyes widened.

"What? Why are you giving Mash that 'come out and see God, senior' look?" Shirou asked, looking at Mash with a puzzled expression.

The other girls who looked over also showed expressions of surprise.

At this moment, a white halo resembling a magic circle appeared behind the boy's head.

Immediately afterwards, the aperture flashed with a bright white light, and Shirou was sucked in.

The story begins a few minutes earlier.

In the afternoon after school, on the street leading home, the sky was still relatively bright, just beginning to turn into dusk.

The girl's name is Yuuki Asuna, and she is currently facing the biggest crisis of her life. She is being forced to jump around by a beam of light shot from a monster with tentacles, while a little figure floats around her, chattering incessantly.

It's not a boss in a tower climbing game, nor a virtual reality game where someone appears on the street wearing a device, but a real, flesh-and-blood monster that breathes out a foul and pungent stench.

She was just like any other student, leaving school early and taking the same route home as usual.

But this afternoon, for some reason, the surroundings became completely quiet, and the air seemed to become somewhat oppressive.

The girl looked around and saw that it was indeed a familiar scene, the route she took home from school every day. So why was it so strange?

At that moment, her phone flashed white light, and a small figure with long black hair jumped out and flew out of the screen.

"Danger! Master! Summon Heroic Spirits and prepare for battle!"

"A battle?" Asuna asked in surprise. The girl looked at the two-headed little figure that looked somewhat familiar and wondered if she was dreaming.

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, a large crack appeared ahead of the road, and the space was torn apart like shattered glass.

A dark blue-green, round creature emerged from within, with more than a dozen octopus-like tentacles growing from its back. A huge eyeball opened in the center of its body, surrounded by bulging, menacing veins, and it floated into the air.

"An eyeball? Why is it here!" the girl exclaimed, turning to run away, but there was no way to escape.

"No time to explain, now automatically initiate the possession summoning!" the little figure shouted, activating the system.

The white light enveloped the girl with long flaxen hair.

Lancer-class Servant: Minamoto no Yorimitsu!

A general from the Heian period, the most powerful and mysterious assassin in the history of this country, has appeared as the head of the disciplinary committee in another world!

A white, flowing light coiled like a dragon, tall and slender, with a scabbard hanging from its left leg guard. It held a white katana, and its feathered robe billowed high in the air.

A tall, imposing young woman stood there, her posture upright.

His eyes were haughty and noble as he glanced at the tentacle-eyed monster chasing after him from the air, and said coldly:

"Although there are still many things that are unclear, since there are demons here, let's kill them first!"

The girl, draped in a feathered robe that fluttered in the wind, leaped into the air, dodged the beam of light, and instantly appeared behind the gazer. The white sword in her hand emitted lightning, transforming into a thunder blade, and swiftly slashed down.

The incredibly sharp blade has drunk the blood of countless monsters. Once it strikes, it is believed that the massive octopus tentacles on the back half of the monster will be severed, and the fierce lightning will burn them to ashes.

Just as the blade was about to strike the monster, it was stopped by something by the slightest margin, as if it had struck some transparent, solid barrier.

The eyeball monster rolled its eyes, and several tentacles suddenly straightened and extended like spears, stabbing towards it.

The girl quickly threw out the ball connected to the wire. Lightning then transformed into a long stream, blocking the attack of the eyeball monster's tentacles. However, the transmitted lightning was blocked by the barrier and failed to cause any damage to the eyeball monster.

"He's not that strong, so why can't I cut him down? What's going on?" The girl retreated to create distance.

"Master! This monster has a high-energy magic shield, and ordinary attacks cannot damage it," Xiaoda said, scanning the monster.

"How are we supposed to fight like this?!" the girl complained.

All attacks are blocked; getting close will result in being entangled by tentacles, while keeping your distance will turn you into a target for eyeball beams.

Even with Minamoto no Yorimitsu's spirit possessing her, the girl could only dodge and constantly increase the distance between them.

"Master! Please summon your allies!" Xiao Da shouted.

"Huh? It has this function? Is it really okay to drag other people into this dangerous monster? I guess I should just charge my Noble Phantasm to 300% and finish the battle in one go."

"Master, you have warriors among your friends who have fought these monsters many times! Please don't hesitate to summon them!" Xiao Da displayed a 3D image in front of the girl, with the cursor pointing at an account.

"Then it has to be a Servant who can change the course of the battle... I've got it!" The girl's eyes lit up when she saw the Heroic Spirit assisting the boy, and she shouted, "It's not an eggplant, summon it!"

The boy, who was swept into the white light, saw a towering tower standing in a flower bush in a distant place in the alternate dimension. Even the blue-gold sword sheath that had been sleeping deep in his soul seemed to be awakened, flashing before falling silent again.

There the boy saw a man who was half human and half nightmare, with a wild smile on his lips.

With long silver hair, purple eyes, and a black magic wand in hand, she wears a white robe containing the King's Sword once used by the king. She has lived secluded in a high tower for thousands of years, far removed from the world.

His name is Merlin, the Magician of Flowers!

"..." Merlin looked at the boy, his lips moving slightly.

It seemed to be saying something to him, and then the white light engulfed the boy.

A beam of light flashed across the street, and a boy wearing a wide white robe, purple ribbons, and black trousers, holding a magic wand, jumped out from it.

"Am I being summoned this time? My class is Caster? Merlin, the legendary mentor of King Arthur." Shirou drew the sword, which resembled the holy sword he was familiar with.

Although legend has it that the sword was broken in a duel during which King Arthur violated chivalry, Merlin, as the sword's creator, seems to have repaired it.

Shirou surveyed his surroundings: an ordinary street, a stuffy air, permeated with magical energy—he was in another dimension.

Ahead, a scantily clad young woman was being chased by a giant, dark blue-eyed monster. She nimbly dodged the monster's tentacles and beams of light, and turned back towards them.

"You're Shirou, a classmate in the same grade? You're not Eggplant? Great! Help me deal with this monster." The flaxen-haired girl recognized the white-robed boy who had suddenly appeared.

"Yuuki-kun?" Shirou looked at the girl who was openly showing off her good figure, wearing a pink bikini swimsuit, and jumping around on the street playing with a yo-yo. He felt that she looked familiar. Wasn't this Yuuki Asuna, who was as famous as Yukinoshita in the second year of international high school? And why did she know him?

No, now is not the time to ask those questions!

Shirou cast aside his distracting thoughts, brandishing the Sword in the Stone and slashing at the monster. The boy now possessed some of the memories and combat experience of King Arthur's mentor; as a man who had once taught King Arthur swordsmanship, this level of swordsmanship was naturally beyond his capabilities.

The boy was actually quite familiar with the swordsmanship of Britain. As he wielded the sword in the stone, he saw, from the memories of the heroic spirit within him, a young blonde girl with a ponytail, diligently training every day under the guidance of her mentor and older brother.

The boy couldn't help but recall that he had once received swordsmanship instruction from a blonde girl at the dojo.

I really miss those days!

The way the girl sternly knocked the bamboo sword out of his hand; the way she sat upright in the dojo talking to him while wearing a blue and white dress; the way she threw a little tantrum when he chose to learn dual swordsmanship instead of from her...

The boy imitated the girl's sword-wielding movements from his memory, releasing his magic. The golden sword was swung cleanly and crisply, a golden sword light traveling straight along the ground and rising up below the monster.

Chapter 32 Lai Guang's Mother Appears

The sword energy emitted by the golden sword in the stone was blocked by a solid magical barrier when it touched the eyeball monster, and the monster was not harmed in the slightest.

"Shirou, this monster's mutated attribute is a near-high-density magic barrier, a defensive force that ordinary attacks cannot damage." Because they were in another dimension, Xiaoda flew over and explained to the boy.

"The strength of these monsters is ridiculously high," Shirou said in shock. What's going on with these monsters? The first time, their attacks were so strong that they could destroy buildings in another dimension. Last time, they were so fast that they couldn't be hit. This time, they're so tough that they can't be cut down.

"I have an idea, Shirou, please assist me in battle," the girl said with an imposing air.

“I understand! What do I need to do?” Shirou asked.

"While reality will certainly be different, since this is a monster that has appeared in the game, I'll use the game's mindset to solve it. If this monster is invincible, then I'll use an invincibility-piercing move to defeat it! I'll rely on my Noble Phantasm for a one-hit kill! This is the only way, so please give me the maximum possible enhancement!" the girl said.

During her dodges, she had already seized the opportunity to charge her Noble Phantasm, but it wasn't safe yet. The health of such a huge eyeball monster couldn't be low, and if she couldn't kill it in one hit, things would get very troublesome later.

"I understand! In short, I'll do my best to strengthen you, Yuuki-kun! Even though I'm only receiving a small portion of the experience, Merlin knows so much." Shirou opened his amber-colored Mystic Eyes and raised his wand high.

"Shirou! The abilities of Heroic Spirits are simply too powerful. Without training and learning, it's impossible to master them properly. That's why Da Vinci created simplified strategies for ordinary people when developing the FGO system. Just fight according to the strategies in the game," Da Vinci reminded him.

"If you can do that, just try your best and you'll know!" At this moment, the amber-colored magic eye changed, revealing a rainbow-colored light.

Projection: Suzuka Gozen's wisdom sword, forged by a bodhisattva, Kotsuren, bestows upon her the 'Blessing of Wisdom'. The sword gleams with silver light, her mind becomes clear, her thoughts become agile, and her use of magic becomes more skillful, allowing her to adjust herself to her optimal state.

First, there's the magical charm. As the son of a human and a dream demon, the magician Merlin possesses immense magical power, which he uses to enhance the girl's body and increase the speed at which her Noble Phantasm charges.

Next, the magician Merlin possessed extremely advanced illusion magic, reaching a level where he could deceive the world and alter the environment. He created a layer of mist around himself and the girl, concealing the girl's true form and serving to confuse the enemy and protect himself.

Then there is the magician Merlin, whose greatest achievement was creating a king and the son of a red dragon for Britain, teaching him martial arts, morality, governance, and military strategy, and guiding him to pull the sword from the stone, thus making him a perfect king.

In a short time, the girl's spiritual foundation was reshaped and sublimated, resulting in an overall improvement in physical strength, endurance, and magic power.

Finally, the boy held the golden sword in the stone in his left hand and the small, silver-glowing Tonglian in his right. Through his Mystic Eyes, he bestowed upon the girl a powerful enhancement magic, granting her the greatest magical power he possessed.

Several beams of light flashed, and the girl's flaxen hair and white feather robe, draped over her body, were blown high into the air by the wind pressure created by the fluctuations of magic.

The girl felt her physical strength and power greatly enhanced, and her magic power was amplified by more than half. Due to the powerful magic power, red aura overflowed from her body, and her skin was covered with a layer of mist-like magical protection.

The boy's excellence seemed to far exceed her expectations, and the girl nodded to him.

"Thank you, Shirou-kun. I feel a surge of power coursing through my body. In that case, there won't be any problems!"

The girl sheathed the white treasure sword, Dojigiri Yasutsuna, and began chanting the incantation to activate its Noble Phantasm.

"This is the invincible and indestructible divine weapon possessed by Indra (the Ox-Headed King), the incarnation of the Eastern God. It is the ultimate weapon forged by the combined efforts of all the gods using sacred bones..."

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, and the golden pestle emitted a hissing sound as if tearing through the air. Arcs of electricity crackled on the pestle's body. The girl, who was one with Minamoto no Yorimitsu, grasped it in her hand and spun it rapidly.

"Annihilate all enemies! — [Śakra, the Vajra]!!!"

The girl bent down and threw the vajra, which transformed into lightning of maximum power, its divine might like the final strike unleashed by a god.

The lightning struck the eyeball monster squarely, blue arcs of electricity flashing like dancing dragons. In the face of this single blow, all defenses became meaningless. The lightning instantly pierced through the invincible shield, and the monster's massive body was swallowed by the intense light, exploding with a deafening roar and burning to ashes.

After launching her attack, the girl immediately ran over and gave the boy a high five.

Snapped!

"That's exactly how it has to be! Shirou-kun, we worked together perfectly!" The girl excitedly grabbed the high-five hand, waved it in the air, and laughed heartily.

Whether it was due to the influence of the heroic spirit within her on her personality, or because the girl herself possessed some kind of trait that made her suited for combat, she was as excited as if she had just played a thrilling game.

A powerful monster, the tension of being knocked down every second, and then a decisive blow with a dazzling move! There's nothing more exciting and fun in the world!

'Is this what they call a mysterious assassin?' Shirou thought to himself.

When Shirou used the Mystic Eyes to strengthen the girl, he already knew that Asuna Yuuki had possessed and summoned the Lancer-class Heroic Spirit Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

However, Minamoto no Yorimitsu should be the bearded warlord Minamoto no Yorimitsu who fought alongside the Onmyoji Abe no Seimei to slay demons in the Wa-gaku legend.

Is that the legendary general who frequently appears in various games, anime, TV shows, and movies?

Why is she a woman? And she seems like a character who's only good for showing off her sex appeal? Although she looks incredibly cool when she's fighting.

But the Heroic Spirit Ushiwakamaru, who fought alongside him before, was also a woman. So, is it because they are from different worlds? It's not incomprehensible, and he doesn't want to be summoned by a bearded old man at all.

At this moment, the girl seemed to be immersed in the excitement and exhilaration of the previous battle.

"Hey, Yuuki-kun?" Shirou's voice pulled her back from her thoughts.

"Hmm?" the girl asked with a gentle smile.

"If you feel embarrassed about wearing a bikini on the street and excitedly waving your fists around," Shirou gently reminded her.

"What are you talking about? Shirou-kun, I would never allow something like that to happen!" The girl, completely oblivious to her current attire, said confidently.

Shirou covered his face. Sure enough, this girl was also influenced by the other side of her Quirk. As the head of the Shadow Disciplinary Committee, she was maintaining discipline everywhere because of her berserk nature, but she completely ignored the fact that she was the worst one.

The boy had to find another way to remind him.

"Jiecheng, it's about time you prepared to change back, otherwise people will be coming over here soon."

"Asuna!" The girl gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and chuckled as she spoke to the boy.

"Huh?" Shirou was taken aback.
