Please play Fate/Go with me.

"Ah, you're so beautiful, senior. This suits you perfectly," Mashu exclaimed in agreement.

"Yes, is that so... Thank you." Yukinoshita lowered her head, her face slightly flushed.

"Hello, could you please pack this for me?" Asuna said to the sales assistant after changing her clothes.

"Please wait a moment, mine too," Yukinoshita said.

“Ah, me too,” Mashu said, mimicking her.

"Shirou!" At this moment, Yuihama, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. She walked up to the boy, stood on tiptoe, stared intently at his face, and pressed him for an explanation: "Give me a proper explanation! Why do you seem so casual about your evaluation of me?"

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Yuihama, you're naturally very cute, with a playful, youthful vibe, so I think this outfit suits you well." Shirou said, shielding his eyes with his hand to reassure the girl.

"Is that so..." Yuihama, who had been getting closer and closer until her nose was almost touching his face, finally stopped when she heard the boy's words. She put down her tiptoes, turned her head away, fiddled with the bun on her head, and answered softly.

"Um, customer, are you also buying these clothes?" The sales assistant looked at Yuihama and asked with a business smile.

"I want to buy it!!!" Yuihama turned around and agreed decisively.

Chapter 75 From Shinjuku to Shinjuku

The white of Mount Fuji was tinged with orange-red. As the sun gradually set, the surroundings gradually darkened in the blink of an eye. The streetlights on both sides of Shinjuku, as well as the shops around, were already lit up, with neon lights flashing. Pink, purple, and red lights swirled, as if telling tourists that the real excitement of this place had just begun.

Having finally finished shopping and had their fill, the girls decided to head towards the subway station.

Shirou carried over a dozen tote bags in both hands, along with four or five shoeboxes, stubbornly keeping up with the girls thanks to his well-trained gait. He had initially only offered to help them carry the bags if they found them heavy, but ended up stuffing them all into their laps.

“Shirou-senpai, you really want me to help you?” Mash said, turning around.

“Mash let him take them. Anyway, Shirou himself said all the clothes were nice, so he bought them all,” Yuihama said.

'Who was it that just gave a slightly casual answer and then wouldn't let it go...?'

"Shirou, being able to carry a girl's luggage is a privilege only popular guys have," Asuna said with a smile.

'This is truly an unwanted privilege.'

“I do think women should be more independent, well, but Shirou is an exception, so it’s fine,” Yukinoshita said.

'No, Yukinoshita-san, things like equality and fairness change once exceptions begin to appear.'

After walking quite a distance, we finally entered the subway and put the bags and boxes down.

"Hehe, you've worked hard." Yuihama said, massaging the boy's shoulders and back.

"You really are... well, after all, everyone went to a lot of trouble to help me choose clothes, thank you everyone." Shirou said to his companions.

"Don't worry about it. Apart from that one annoying place at the beginning, I had a lot of fun today," Asuna said with a smile.

“I feel the same way,” Yukinoshita nodded. She was starting to wonder if her father had chosen that shop for other reasons.

"Let's go shopping together again next time! Mashu, come along too," Yui asked, hugging the pink-haired girl beside her.

"Yes, I understand the joy of buying and dressing up more now, Yuihama-senpai." Mashu replied with a smile. Today, as the one who changed outfits the most in Chaldea, she felt like she had reached the pinnacle, whether as a Servant or a human!

"Mash, I think we should all know how to exercise moderation in everything," Shirou advised.

After returning to Chiba, Shirou said goodbye to the girls one by one and boarded the subway for their respective routes home.

As soon as Mashu returned to her small villa, her phone suddenly vibrated violently. She took out her phone and looked at it.

“Mash, there’s an emergency. I need to teleport you back to Chaldea immediately,” Da Vinci said solemnly.

On Chaldea's side, alarms are sounding, red lights are flashing in all the passageways, and a singularity has been detected in Chaldea's control room.

"The location of the singularity cannot be determined! It seems to be confined to a very small area!"

"Compare and analyze the data to find if there are wavelengths similar to those of previous outliers."

"The observation results for Sheba are in! The location is Shinjuku, Tokyo, and the year is 1999!"

"We must find the Master and go there to resolve this!" Da Vinci said urgently.

This time, the person I spoke to on the phone with Chaldea was a red-haired girl with a side ponytail. I found her wearing a red turtleneck sweater with cross patterns, and she was leisurely lying on the sofa playing on her phone.

When they saw the 3D image of Leonardo da Vinci, they waved and greeted him.

"Oh, Leonardo da Vinci, my dear."

"Gudako, why do you look so relaxed? Have you solved things in your world yet?" Da Vinci asked.

"Well... the problem is solved, but there seem to be some other things to take care of, and I'm currently lobbying for powerful allies to help Chaldea," Gudako reported.

"What exactly is going on? Does the assistance refer to the young girl you are currently assisting?" Leonardo da Vinci asked.

"Oh right, Ishtarin-senpai, is lunch ready?" Gudako called out to the other side of the hall.

A girl's voice came from inside; if Shirou were here, he would definitely find it very familiar.

"Gudako! Don't call me Ishtarin! Remember my name, and the goddess's name, right? Tonight's dinner is Chinese seafood fried rice, it'll be ready soon, so sit quietly."

"Yes~" Gudako obediently agreed. She was actually grinding FGO, cursing the poor management, and waiting for dinner to be served.

“Then come back here! There’s important work to do!” Leonardo da Vinci shouted.

"Hey, wait a minute! Da Vinci, I have important things to do! Don't push those chores onto me, and I haven't had dinner yet," Gudako said, waving her hands.

"This is no time for jokes, a singularity has appeared!" Leonardo da Vinci said solemnly.

"Huh? Goetia was definitely destroyed, wasn't it?" Gudako exclaimed in surprise.

“Goetia was indeed destroyed, and humanity has been restored. However, the appearance of the seven singularities caused a large-scale distortion of spacetime. This minor singularity may have been affected, leading to the alteration of history,” Leonardo da Vinci explained.

"I understand! I can come back anytime!" Gudako, having changed her previous flippant manner, nodded seriously in agreement.

"Alright! Then prepare for the spirit transfer immediately," Leonardo da Vinci instructed his staff.

"Rin-senpai, I'm going back to Chaldea. Goodbye!" Gudako called out to the people in the kitchen.

The spirit transfer device was activated, and the girl transformed into a fluorescent light, being transported back to Chaldea.

The black-haired girl with pigtails suddenly disappeared from the living room and brought out a large plate of fried rice. She pouted and said, "Why did you just leave like that? We won't be able to finish this! You're just like someone else in that respect."

"Well, if you want to meet, we can meet anytime. I can guarantee that," said a figure who came out of the kitchen.

"Oh well, who knows, maybe one day they'll shamelessly come running over again, since they look a lot like someone," the girl with pigtails said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Shirou, who had just returned home, also received the news from Kotatsu.

Da Vinci relayed his request: 'Because a singularity has been discovered, we hope Shirou can help resolve this situation.'

“Da Vinci, I request to join the attack! With the power of the FGO system, I can fight too!” Mash said earnestly.

“Mash, I’m sorry, this time it’s not a protected other world, but a singularity. Even if it’s small, we’ll be facing ferocious Heroic Spirits. I won’t let you participate in such a dangerous battle until your physical condition stabilizes.” Da Vinci solemnly refused Mash’s request.

“Yes…” Mashu clenched her clothes tightly, unwilling to accept it.

"Moreover, Shirou has also agreed to help as a substitute, so that can be considered as making up for the lack of combat power, Mash, you can rest assured," Da Vinci said.

Chapter 76 Gudako and Shirou

In the deep, dark blue space, vortexes spun rapidly, and under the illumination of white light, a girl appeared inside Chaldea's teleportation device.

Immediately afterwards, Shirou, accompanied by Tatsumi, was also transported to Chaldea.

Gudako, who had returned to Chaldea before Shirou, exclaimed in surprise when she saw the boy who had suddenly appeared in the teleportation device.

"Ah! Shirou's mother! You're here too?"

"Wait! I don't remember ever having a daughter like you." Shirou looked at the somewhat familiar-looking, orange-haired girl in her red dress and asked in confusion, "Have we met somewhere before?"

"Hmm? I see. So, for Shirou-senpai now, this is actually the first time he's met me?" Gudako said, resting her chin on her hand.

"What's going on?" Shirou asked, puzzled.

"Well, you'll find out sooner or later, senpai. Nice to meet you! I'm Fujimaru Ritsuka, Shirou-senpai! Just call me Gudako. I'll respect you like a parent would!" Gudako hugged Shirou's arm and said affectionately.

'Parents?' Shirou, who was being hugged, was stunned for a moment. So, it wasn't even 8 o'clock yet, and he already had a daughter?

At that moment, the pink-haired girl walked up.

"Gudako-senpai! Has Gudako-senpai returned?" Mashu asked excitedly.

"Ah! Mashu, I'm back too!" Gudako ran up happily and hugged the pink-haired girl.

"Gudako-senpai! I miss you so much!"

"I miss you so much, Mashu!"

The two girls hugged each other tightly.

"Let me feel how much you've grown, it's useless." Gudako skillfully stretched out her hand.

"Senior..." Mashu blushed.

Meanwhile, Shirou was asking Leonardo da Vinci about the specifics of the incident.

"Can't Mashu participate in this battle?" Mashu, who has strong defensive abilities, would be a great help if she were here.

Da Vinci shook his head and said, "Mashu's current state is not suitable for going to that world. In fact, although her body can fight in the world where you, Shirou, rely on the FGO system created by the Holy Grail."

But in reality, she has lost contact with the Heroic Spirit within her body, making it temporarily impossible for her to transform into a Demi-Servant. Her magic circuits also seem rusted, unable to activate for some unknown reason, making her unsuitable for participating in Singularity battles at this time.

"The Heroic Spirit possession summoning performed through the mobile FGO system is, in essence, just a weakened version of divine possession. It weakens the Heroic Spirit's strength and uses another person's body to meet the conditions for descending into the world. It is subject to limitations such as magic power output and time."

Moreover, many of the abilities and fighting styles of Heroic Spirits are often accompanied by various side effects that are simply unbearable if one is not prepared, such as mental pollution, negative emotions, and physical pain, which are not things that ordinary humans can endure.

To make it easier for the possessed party to understand and use the power of the Heroic Spirit, I simplified the abilities of the Heroic Spirit to within three skills, just like in the game.

Even if you want to unleash the power of a Heroic Spirit that is subject to various restrictions, you must achieve a 100% compatibility and be able to communicate with the Heroic Spirit in a state of mutual understanding.

"In the previous world, the invading monsters were subject to various restrictions, so the battle was relatively even. But now we're going to a very unstable singularity, which is far too dangerous," Da Vinci explained.

“Mash didn’t tell me about this.” Shirou frowned, then asked, “Isn’t there any treatment? She doesn’t seem to be in any pain. I’ll prepare a nutritious soup for her every day, like a pork rib and papaya soup to promote growth and absorption…”

Da Vinci retorted, "No, that soup of yours is for breast enhancement and beauty, isn't it? Don't worry, Mashu's problem will probably just take some time for her body to recover. I originally wanted to let her interact with other people more after things settled down, like sending her to school or something."

“That’s already happened, right? Mashu is having a great time at school. She’s very enthusiastic about both academic and physical education classes,” Shirou said.

"Yes, even a genius like me didn't expect it to be achieved in this way. It's truly one problem after another," Leonardo da Vinci sighed.

"But Mashu has been in my world for over a year, hasn't she? Why hasn't her body recovered yet?" Shirou asked, puzzled.

"Shirou, time in parallel worlds is different from that in Chaldea. Even if you drift in the sea of ​​another world for hundreds of years, it's possible that less than a day has passed when you return to your original world. How long do you think we've been here since Mash left Chaldea?"

Before the boy could answer, Da Vinci gave the answer directly: "Not even two months. In fact, since the incident, time and space in Chaldea have become very strange, and we have completely lost contact with the outside world. Sheba can't detect anything either. If the clock wasn't actually ticking, I would honestly suspect that the flow of time has been stopped."

"I see." Shirou nodded. Come to think of it, he really didn't feel like much time had passed since he came to Chaldea and went home last time.

“I believe this suddenly appearing singularity holds clues related to the world’s mutation. So I’d like to ask you to assist Gudako in resolving this incident. If all goes well, by the time you get home, only a few hours will have passed, and it won’t affect your life in the other world,” Da Vinci said.

Shirou nodded and said, "That would be perfect. I promised to help from the beginning, and it's all for the sake of saving the world. There's no reason to refuse."

Gudako looked at Shirou with admiration and said, "As expected of Shirou-senpai, I'm so touched! When we get there, let's call Rin-senpai over using our phones! She's quite reliable unless it's a critical occasion."

"Huh? Rin? Does that mean Rin Tohsaka?" Shirou recalled the black-haired figure he missed. He had chosen to leave her to save the world, and she had kicked him into the Thames. After that, she continued her studies in England. Before he died, he inquired about her and heard that she had returned to Fuyuki.

But hearing Gudako call her "senpai" suggests that the Rin Tohsaka she met was quite young and probably didn't have these memories.

"I'm sure Rin-senpai will come over and kick you again as soon as she hears Shirou-senpai here!" Gudako said, pulling out her phone with obvious anticipation.

Chapter 77 Landing in the Demonic Land Shinjuku

"Wait? Is that Tohsaka, a high school student? Does she have memories of me?" Shirou asked in surprise.

"Well, although I don't know the details, Rin-senpai said that the moment she sees Shirou-senpai, she should kick him away. She also said that she has been practicing Bajiquan since she was a child for this moment!" Gudako said, mimicking a kung fu stance.

Shirou covered his face. The Tohsaka he knew was really capable of doing such a thing. Ever since he dumped her in England, he had been kicked into the Thames River. After that, whether it was a party or a chance encounter, he would be chased down and beaten up whenever they met.

'That crazy girl... I don't know why she still has memories... it's probably best not to see her for now...'

"Hehehe, things will go so smoothly, won't they?" Gudako said with a mysterious smile. In her opinion, Shirou-senpai would be happier with Rin-senpai, who was like a father to him and took charge of the household. After all, only when senpai was happy and stable could she have the happiest life and receive the most comprehensive care.

'Could it be that Tohsaka was also reborn like me? What kind of world is that over there?' Shirou wondered, and was about to ask Gudako when Da Vinci walked over with a golden cup in his hand.

"Shirou, equip the pseudo-spirit origin here first. It's already been repaired for you. Because it's a singularity, the battle environment will be much more brutal than before. So! Remember! Don't be careless, and don't do anything reckless!" Da Vinci warned, then took out a golden cup containing a shimmering, crystalline blue sphere that looked like a spirit.

This is the miracle of 'Pseudo-Spirit Origin', which combines the power of the boy's Mystic Eyes, Reality Marble, and Holy Grail to elevate a human body to the status of a Servant;

This is a phantom spirit formed from the boy's ideals, which can transform the boy into the heroic spirit of his own inner ideal. Each summoning will be different depending on Shirou's state of mind.
