Please play Fate/Go with me.

Whether it was because the food was too tempting or because the shock was too great, Iroha Isshiki's brain circuits were opened up, and she became unrestrained in her speech, completely forgetting that she was actually the lowest level here, even though she didn't intend to be a senior to Shirou-senpai.

"It's so delicious! The slightly spicy chicken with the gravy is so good with rice. If this keeps up, I'll get a little belly! It's all your fault! Heh!" Yui Hama tasted the dish and immediately showed a satisfied and delighted expression. Then she clenched her little fist and punched the boy.

"No, even if you're pregnant, you can't blame me, right?" Shirou retorted after being slapped. These girls cook for them and they don't feel grateful at all. So the idea that boys who are good at cooking are popular is just a lie conspired by lazy women who don't want to cook.

Caiyu was so engrossed in the delicious food that she became outspoken and blurted out her innermost thoughts.

"Aww, it's delicious, it's so comforting. Today, the strict Yukinoshita-senpai was just like my dad, he's so scary when he's angry."

"Pfft..." Shirou almost burst out laughing when he heard that.

"..." The black-haired girl cast a warning glance my way.

"Here, eat more if you like it." Shirou mentally praised the girl, suppressing a smile as he picked up a piece of chicken and put it into Iroha's bowl as a reward.

"Oh, thank you. Shirou-senpai, who served me food, is just like my mom." Iroha, completely absorbed in the delicious food, expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"..." Shirou dejectedly picked up the meat that had been placed in Aya's bowl and put it back into his own bowl.

"Pfft... Haha..." This time it was Yukino's turn to cover her mouth and laugh. She tried her best not to laugh out loud, and her body trembled as she held back her laughter.

"Now I understand a little why dozens of girls signed a petition to embarrass you, Aya-chan," Yuihama said thoughtfully, sitting to the side.

After that, the boy and girl began preparations and discussed strategies for negotiating with the business high school the next day.

The following afternoon, during another meeting in the conference room, Shirou arrived at the student council president's seat carrying a stack of documents.

Bang!

The thick stack of documents made the table in front of the other person wobble.

A friendly smile in response to the other person's bewildered gaze.

Chapter 42 Reject Talk Without Action

"Um... what are these?" the student council president asked with a forced laugh.

"Ah, regarding the contingency plan you provided yesterday, and all the ideas mentioned before, I've organized them a bit and made them into a plan based on the budget. These are all plans after trade-offs have been made. Please discuss and choose which one you prefer," Shirou said with a smile.

"Haha, but who knows what other ideas might come up later, so let's not rush. Let's brainstorm and come up with a solution together," the student council president said, waving his hands.

“No, even if we have new ideas, the budget is already insufficient. Please read these premonitions first before offering any new suggestions,” Yukinoshita said without backing down.

"We can work together to figure out the budget issue, that's the purpose of our meeting here," the student council president said, repeating his tired old lines.

Shirou then turned to the student council member from the business high school sitting next to him and praised him, "By the way, you! Remember when you proposed jazz yesterday? Your understanding of jazz was truly brilliant."

"Haha, thank you." The man scratched his head, pleased with the compliment. He had mentioned it before, but he felt it was pretentious to listen to jazz, so he brought it up. He guessed he had said it casually at the time. Thinking this, the man gladly accepted Shirou's praise.

"No, what did jazz say again? If I had to give a critique, it would have been when I was talking about rock, wouldn't it?" said the man sitting next to him.

“I don’t remember, but if it’s K-On!, I know a lot about it,” the other man said.

"Oh, come to that point, the comments I heard were about rock and K-On!, not jazz. I must have misremembered. Sorry, there are just too many suggestions these days, I can't possibly remember them all, so it's about time we stopped, right?" Shirou said with a smile.

"Ah... um, you're right," the man who suggested jazz replied with an awkward smile.

“That’s true, there are actually a lot of things I can’t remember either,” the rock-and-roll man said, also getting tired of this endless meeting game.

Everyone knows in their hearts that things can't continue like this, but the initial atmosphere was harmonious, no one objected, and decisions were made freely. Now, no one can bring themselves to deny the decision made together.

At this moment, Yukinoshita glanced at the student council president from the outer gate.

Upon being glared at, Aya immediately stood up and said, "Yes! I also think it would be better that way!"

“We suggest reducing the number of programs slightly; these plans are already written down. If we want to hire a band, then let’s skip the symphony orchestra. If we insist on a symphony orchestra, then other music programs must also be cut, and the budget must be used more prudently.”

“Since everyone has said so, let’s do it this way?” Shirou said, looking at the student council president.

"Then let's choose a satisfactory option, and then decide what to add and what to remove. Is there any other question?" Yukinoshita asked.

"Ah...no, I understand." The student council president, under the friendly gazes of the two, could only nod. But for some reason, he felt completely inferior to these two. Everything they said made perfect sense, and he couldn't refute it at all.

After all, everyone agreed that his original role as the meeting moderator was simply to accept suggestions and summarize. The reason it turned out this way was because there was no strong decision-maker; instead, everyone offered a method, and then everyone happily agreed to it.

At first, I thought that in such a united atmosphere, any problem could be solved. But by the time I realized the problem, it was too late. Although he was the one chairing the meeting, he didn't make the final decisions. Even if the event failed, it was due to everyone's shared mistakes. But if someone were to speak out, it would become one person fighting against everyone, so no one would do that.

So now it's like what was supposed to be a pet exhibition turned into a zoo; perhaps the current situation is for the best...

After reaching an agreement with the business high school, the meeting finally got on track. The student council members on the other side, who were not satisfied with just elementary school students, wanted to suggest that the kindergarten also be included, but this suggestion was ultimately rejected by Shirou and Yukinoshita.

"Senior and senior are so amazing!" Iroha exclaimed in amazement.

She didn't know how to face the student council president of the business high school; in front of these two people, she felt like a little kid who could only imitate adults' talking patterns.

"Although I'm not entirely sure what Shirou and Yukino are talking about, I'm confident that leaving it to them will be fine," Yuihama said with a proud smile after hearing Isshiki's exclamation.

"Hmm..." Isshiki Iroha sized up the boy and girl, but seeing the way they were paired together, she felt a little unwilling.

The girl silently watched as the boy and the student council president talked eloquently, forcing the latter to retreat step by step and finally have to compromise.

In this respect, Shirou actually cheated. He possessed the Mystic Eyes, which could even analyze divine artifacts, making it far too easy for him to analyze these things.

"Hmm... So, in your eyes, I'm like a child being scolded by his parents?"

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but feel a little down, but she quickly cheered up and shook her head vigorously.

Iroha Isshiki decided to rebel. Even if they are juniors, I am the student council president. Even if I got to know Shirou-senpai later than you, it doesn't mean I have to back down!

Iroha Isshiki yearns for change; she wants to defeat her strict father... no! To gain Yukinoshita-senpai's approval through her own strength! But in the end, she still wants to defeat her!

Yes! While Yukinoshita-senpai is a perfect beauty, the student council president is the strongest!!!

Yes! Although Old Man Muni-sai's sword is a perfect one, only the Niten Ichi-ryu style, which pursues 'zero (emptiness)', is the strongest!!!

Unbeknownst to the girl, her actions resonated with a certain Heroic Spirit. A light flashed in the FGO system on her phone, and a silver-haired woman with a gold frame emerged from the darkness.

Xiao Da, who was ahead, seemed to sense something and sneaked into Iroha Isshiki's phone. He saw that a Heroic Spirit who resonated with the girl had appeared inside. Although the compatibility was still at 10%, it would surely shine brightly in time. Perhaps this represented some kind of hope.

"We've found a new friend, Shirou..." Tatsumi shouted happily, eager to tell his friends.

Suddenly, a muffled thud was heard outside the conference room!

Shirou turned to look outside. He felt the air around him stagnate, and his breathing became heavy. It was as if the world had been torn open, and some dangerous creature was about to emerge from it. This time was different; this time, the feeling of the alternate dimension was more perilous than ever before.

Chapter 43 Black Mud Heroic Spirits Holy Grail

Shirou exchanged a glance with Yukinoshita and Yuigahama, then rushed out.

The moment the invasion of monsters from another world was sensed, the world consciousness's defense mechanism activated the protective wall of the other dimension, protecting the real world within the barrier.

The humanoid figure, made of massive stones, was over ten meters tall, resembling a tower. This was a relic guardian magnified several times over, as its entire body was composed of diamonds due to the mutation. At this moment, it raised its right foot high and kicked fiercely at the wall of the alternate dimension.

This caused the real world to resonate with a muffled thunderous sound.

Behind the guardian of the ruins lies a vast void leading from another world, from which countless winged blade insects fly out.

"Bellerophon!"

A comet, a black comet with a long tail, descended from the sky. A man riding a black pegasus in the black light continuously used his Noble Phantasm to attack the defense mechanism of the alternate dimension. Under the repeated impacts of the black comet, cracks began to appear on the surface of the protective membrane.

The real world inside the alternate dimension trembled once again as a result.

"Oh no! An earthquake?" the elementary school students inside screamed.

"Oh no! There are still many children here!" Yukino exclaimed in alarm.

"give it to me!"

Shirou, possessing Merlin's spirit, unleashed a powerful illusion, imagining a peaceful and ordinary daily life. He then transformed the space into this image, concealing the children's house within it. The children inside were also given the suggestion to stay calm, relax, and not go outside. They felt that everything was the same as usual and could no longer sense the tremors outside.

"Huh? It's not shaking anymore? Was it just my imagination? That's so strange. You guys felt the shaking too, right?" the girl who screamed earlier asked, puzzled.

"Hmm...it seems like it is, but it also seems like it isn't?" The girls looked at each other, none of them sure.

"It seems like it was just my imagination. Let's continue."

"Ah."

So the elementary school girls continued with their work.

Under the influence of the illusion, the people nearby relaxed and continued with their own business inside their houses.

at this time.

Boom! The black comet finally broke through the barrier, and a black-skinned man riding a black pegasus floated into the mortal world, glaring ahead and letting out a fierce roar.

"Shirou! Be careful, this Heroic Spirit is too strange!" Xiaoda shouted as he flew out of the phone.

Shirou activated his Mystic Eyes, observing the black-clad Heroic Spirit.

The opponent is a hero from Greece, the son of Zeus, a man favored by the gods. He is not the type known for his bravery like Heracles or Achilles, but rather he used many treasures bestowed by the gods to achieve the feat of slaying the rampaging immortal monster Gorgon and saving all living beings.

However, at this moment, this heroic spirit, stained with black mud, has eyes filled only with hatred, and holds the Noble Phantasm 'Rider's Reins (Modified)' in its hand.

This body has been corrupted into chaotic evil. After being eroded by the black mud, the Heroic Spirit has transformed its abilities to some extent. With the amplification of the Holy Grail, what was originally just a Noble Phantasm for enhancing the abilities of the Pegasus has now become a Noble Phantasm capable of summoning and controlling a large number of monsters.

"Drink!" Yuihama rushed out and shouted, immediately performing a possession summoning and transforming into Suzuka Gozen, leaping and slashing at the black Heroic Spirit from behind.

"Hmph!" The black pegasus was extremely fast, dodging the girl's attack and disappearing into the hole in the membrane.

"Did they escape?" Yuihama asked, frowning as she landed on the ground, sword in hand.

"Oh no! They're coming out! The monsters are coming to the mortal realm! There are hundreds of magical reactions! One of them has enormous magical power!" Xiao Da shouted in panic as red dots kept appearing on his phone.

"What?" Shirou exclaimed in surprise.

With a loud bang, a giant foot made of diamond kicked open the membrane that had been cracked by the comet, and a diamond giant tens of meters tall emerged from it, officially appearing in the real world.

This is the first time a monster has appeared in a populated area.

At this moment, the world's second line of defense was activated in secret. The world that had previously rejected any mystical elements changed the instant the monsters invaded the real world, making it much easier for all humans and heroic spirits to establish connections.

As instructed by the black-clad hero Perseus, swarms of winged blade insects emerged from the cracks in the alternate dimension and surged toward the house.

"Don't even think about it!" Yukinoshita, who had been guarding the entrance, took out her phone, ready to summon Ushiwakamaru to fight. No matter what, she would never let the children inside get hurt!

"We must never let the children get hurt!" A voice echoed from the void into the depths of Yukinoshita's heart.

At this moment, another character responded, its golden frame gleaming.

"I understand!" Yukinoshita clicked the button without hesitation.

This time, it wasn't the girl summoning a Heroic Spirit to possess her; rather, the Heroic Spirit in Chaldea sensed through the system that a child was in danger, and its own wish aligned with the girl's, so it sincerely lent all its power to her.

Possession Summoning

Fit: 100%

Archer-class Servant: Atalanta

A cool girl with feline ears appeared in the pillar of light. She wore a green dress with her tail sticking out from under the dress. She stood tall and proud, looking ahead with disdain.

Snowflakes performed a backflip, leaping high onto the building's balcony. Looking down at the swarming insects below, she completely disregarded these monsters. From the moment Atalanta entrusted her with all her power at a perfect 100% compatibility, it was no longer as simple as summoning a Heroic Spirit. It seemed that a kind of sublimation occurred when the souls of the human and the Heroic Spirit merged. At this moment, the girl felt that she had reached the realm of the gods, possessing the peak strength of the Greek hero Atalanta.

"Shirou!" Yukinoshita shouted, raising her bow and drawing it to its full extent.

"I know!" Shirou immediately understood what the girl meant, raised his wand to apply as much enhancement as possible, and then used his only two strength magics, enhancement magic, which, after receiving Merlin's experience, reached level B!

"As long as I'm here, I will never let any monster pass through!" Yukinoshita raised the Heavenly Bow bestowed by the goddess Artemis. Her Anti-Army Noble Phantasm, charged to three hundred percent the moment the Heroic Spirit possessed it, shot into the sky—the Phoibos Catastrophe.

The girl prayed to Apollo, the sun god, and Artemis, the moon goddess. A hundred arrows of light rained down from the sky, piercing all the winged insects. The remaining arrows of light all fell on the head of the diamond ruins guardian, its huge body being pierced by the falling arrows of light.

"It's not over yet!" Yukino shouted, drawing the Heavenly Bow to its full extent. The power of the arrow instantly increased to Level A, and she aimed at the giant's head, firing repeatedly!

The arrows exploded like missiles, boom boom boom!

The diamond giant's head shattered under the combined attack from the sky and its front, swallowed by the arrows of light, and vanished into black dust.

"Wow, Yukino is amazing!" Yui exclaimed.

"Well done, Yukinoshita." Seeing that the monster threatening the world had finally been eliminated, Shirou looked at the black-haired girl and praised her.

"Die!!!"

Without any warning, the Black Heroic Spirit who had previously infiltrated the black hole entered another dimension. A black-clad man wearing a strange cloak suddenly appeared behind Shirou, wielding a scythe-like sword, and slashed towards Shirou's neck.

"Drink it, Sakra, the Vajra!!!"

The vajra, crackling with electricity, transformed into lightning and struck the black Perseus, sending him flying.
