Please play Fate/Go with me.

"ah!"

"Miss Artoria!"

Gudako and Mashu were startled and cried out in surprise.

"Hehe, you've had your fun, haven't you?" Artoria appeared outside the door at some point, with Ca-vall II behind her, and walked straight up to them.

"What?! Didn't you run away on your own? You could have just disappeared somewhere! What are you trying to do by coming back now?" Joan of Arc asked.

"Hmph, I just felt that if I didn't satisfy you now, it would be a bit pitiful later. So I'm just lending you Shirou for a little while," Artoria said with a cold laugh.

Chapter 107 Holy Grail Girl's Victory

"Huh? When did Shirou become your man? Am I pitiful? What do you mean?" Jeanne glared at him unhappily and asked.

“Shirou is the one who uses the Holy Lance with me, so he’s destined to be a member of my Knights of the Round Table!” Artoria said matter-of-factly.

"With your table, you can't even fit seven people?" Joan of Arc said sarcastically.

Artoria ignored the silver-haired girl and turned to the boy, saying:

"Shirou, remember this: when you get back, use your phone to summon me! White, blue, green, black, anything but red is fine, as long as it can be used as a marker."

"Huh? Summoning? You mean the summoning in the mobile game?" Shirou asked in surprise.

"Yes, I will come to that world to find you later. Although I can't guarantee the time or place of my arrival, as long as your FGO system stays in contact with 'me,' I will come to find you as soon as I arrive in that world," Artoria said confidently.

"Wait! What's going on? Cold-blooded woman, do you have a way to get to Shirou's world?" Jeanne asked in shock as she stepped forward.

"Hmph, so you're just a stupid country bumpkin. Ever since I got this, and with the help of a talented magician, I can go to that other world." Artoria said with a boastful laugh, her body radiating swirling magical energy.

"This is the Holy Grail?!" Joan of Arc exclaimed in surprise.

In the battle against Shinjuku Berserker, Shirou collapsed after defeating the Black Mud Servant. Artoria sensed Shirou's condition and quickly arrived there, just in time to see the Holy Grail left behind after the Black Mud Servant disappeared.

So one night, she contacted Leonardo da Vinci alone and asked him how to continue staying with Shirou.

Leonardo da Vinci was naturally thrilled at the thought of Chaldea gaining a powerful Servant! So he agreed to offer her advice.

"Wait! I challenge you to a duel right now! The loser shall summon the Holy Grail!" Joan of Arc instantly transformed back into her armored form, drawing her longsword and shouting.

"Shirou, look forward to our meeting." Artoria smiled with a 'victory' in her eyes, a hint of smugness showing on her pretty face.

Unfortunately, by then, Joan of Arc's time to return had come, and before she could rush forward, her entire body began to glow with light.

"Ah! Damn it! Time's up! You just wait!" Jeanne glared angrily at Artoria beside her, then turned to the boy and said, "Shirou! You just wait too!"

Shirou reluctantly agreed, "Hmm... I have a feeling we'll meet again soon."

"This feeling is really unsettling," Artoria said, frowning.

"The truth?" Shirou asked the blonde girl.

"Well, that naive silly girl, if she ever actually comes along, I'll take pity on her and take her shopping and to try some good food," Artoria said with a light laugh.

"Haha, so your relationship is still pretty good after all." Shirou nodded, after all, Jeanne d'Arc did have some qualities that made people worry about her. (Monthly membership group 694936135)

"Alright, let's not talk about her. Shirou! I'll leave the young one in your care for now, okay? You said you had a way to take it with you, right?" Artoria beckoned the white dog that was playing with Gudako over and asked the boy.

"Aren't you coming with us now?" Shirou asked.

“Well, after all, I have the Holy Grail. Da Vinci said he would use some tricks to get away with it and then summon me to Chaldea. So, I'll leave it in your care for now,” Artoria nodded.

“Yes, Ca-vall II, come home with me! Although I can’t give you a title, I can still guarantee you three meals a day and walks.” Shirou squatted down and stroked the white dog.

"Woof!" the white dog responded, affectionately licking the boy's hand.

"So, are you ready to come back?" Leonardo da Vinci asked in Chaldea.

“Ready!” Gudako replied.

"Alright, let's get ready to go back then!" Shirou said with a smile.

The boy projected one of Perseus's Noble Phantasms, the 'Kibisis', a bag that can be used to store monsters. This is a Noble Phantasm that can, to some extent, displace space. If Ca-vall II is put into it and transferred together via spirit particles, theoretically there shouldn't be any problems.

“Yes, Shirou-senpai and Gudako-senpai, please get ready to begin the spirit particle transfer!” Mash said.

With a flash of light, Shirou and Gudako left the world of Shinjuku, and Artoria followed along the passage to Chaldea.

The world was saved thanks to the efforts of the boys and girls.

For unknown reasons, Shinjuku miraculously reconnected with its original world. Those extraordinary things were destined to disappear completely from this place one day, such as magic, swan bees, monsters, dolls, and the high black walls surrounding it. All of these things would be banished to the ends of the earth... At this time, how many creatures and things would remain here was unknown to these young boys and girls.

After passing through the vortex of time and space, Shirou and Gudako finally returned to Chaldea and stepped out of the teleportation device.

"Welcome back! Gudako-senpai! Shirou-senpai!" Mashu was already standing outside the box, waiting for the boy and girl to return.

"Good job, Gudako, Shirou." The man with the pipe greeted them. It turned out that Holmes, who had been merged with Moriarty, had already gone ahead and returned to Chaldea.

"Ah! Holmes, you're alright? That's great!" Gudako said happily.

"Well, I was completely defeated this time, but I came back because there are some things I want to investigate. Since my injuries are quite serious, I'll be working as an armchair detective here for a while," the man said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"You've worked hard! Gudako, go take a hot bath and get some rest," Da Vinci instructed.

"Okay... Well then, goodnight everyone, and goodbye Shirou-senpai too." Gudako was indeed tired, and waved to the boy.

"Yes, goodnight, Gudako-senpai," Mashu said with a smile.

But Gudako reached out and pulled the pink-haired girl over, smiling kindly as she said, "What are you talking about, Mashu? You have to stay with me tonight!"

"Eh?" Mashu cupped her blushing face in her hands as she was dragged towards the dormitory.

Chapter 108 After Returning to Chiba

After Gudako and Mashu went to sleep, Shirou found himself suddenly alone again. It felt so strange, even though it had been so lively just moments before. It was like riding a roller coaster at breakneck speed, and when it finally came to a stop at the starting point, he felt like he was still flying.

At this moment, Leonardo da Vinci stepped forward, smiled sincerely at the boy, and said:

"Thank you for your assistance, Shirou. All of us at Chaldea express our gratitude to you."

“No, we’ve always helped each other, and besides, I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing about something like this,” Shirou said, looking at Da Vinci. “So, what other tasks are there?”

"That's all for now. This time it was due to an unexpected event, and we were short-handed, so we had to ask you for help. Let's focus on solving the problems in your world first. I also plan to send Mashu back to school to continue her studies," Da Vinci said with a smile.

"Yes, that would be best." Shirou nodded.

"So what exactly happened with Artoria?" Shirou asked.

“As she said, she wishes she could go to your world, but due to the limitations of its rules, it’s very difficult for a Servant to live there. But with the Holy Grail, and with the help of a genius like me, it would be a different story. Although it might involve a long and roundabout route, it’s theoretically feasible,” Leonardo da Vinci said.

"But it seems you made some kind of agreement with her, right? Could it be some kind of shady contract?" Shirou asked.

"I only asked her to help Chaldea on the condition that I help her reach your world. How wonderful! I've already found a powerful helper for you, and she's a great beauty with a deep connection to you!" Leonardo da Vinci said with a hearty laugh.

"Ha, I always feel like it's not that simple?" Shirou looked at Da Vinci suspiciously.

"Hahaha, that's just your imagination because you're too tired," Leonardo da Vinci laughed, trying to change the subject. He then turned to Holmes and asked, "Regarding the purpose of your return? Alright, I approve. You did discover something, didn't you?"

Holmes filled his pipe with tobacco, lit it, took a puff, and said, "No wonder he's Leonardo da Vinci; he grasps things quickly. When I was absorbed by Moriarty, I obtained a lot of information from him. From his conversation with the demon Baal, I learned that three demon pillars still exist. Their specific details and locations are unknown. They abandoned the incineration of humanity, each harboring different motives and desires, lurking in some corner of the world."

“It seems the matter is far from over,” Leonardo da Vinci said.

Holmes nodded and said, "Yes, Leonardo da Vinci, although the Burning of Humanity has been resolved and the Shinjuku Phantom Incident has been successfully concluded, however... the world is still full of mysteries, and there is something else there that is very concerning to me..."

"What is it?" Leonardo da Vinci asked, puzzled.

"...No, it's too early to talk about that now." Holmes shook his head, deciding to keep it a secret for the time being.

"Ugh! You only say half of what you mean, it's infuriating!" Leonardo da Vinci exclaimed, annoyed.

"It's good that you care. Then let me get started on the investigation. Leave the matter of the Servants going to Shirou's world to me as well. I'll also alter the records here at Chaldea to cover it up. Making things seem plausible by weaving reality and fiction together is my specialty," Holmes said with a smile.

"Hmm... I see! From an objective point of view, geniuses are really infuriating!" Leonardo da Vinci said, frowning.

The surrounding staff nodded in agreement.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are Shirou and everyone else looking at me so coldly?" Da Vinci asked, puzzled.

"Well, you'll get a taste of the pain of working with a genius," Shirou said with a light laugh. He wasn't an employee here, so he didn't need to worry about the hierarchy.

"Huh? Huh?" Even a genius as all-knowing as her was a little confused. 'Why are they targeting her like this? Shouldn't we be united against this cryptic Sherlock Holmes?'

After that, Holmes began his investigation.

Da Vinci looked at the boy beside him and said, "Well then, let's take you home for today. We'll talk about the rest of the plans tomorrow."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Thank you everyone for your help all this time, and see you next time." Shirou nodded in agreement.

"Eh...aren't you going to stay and cook a meal?" The Chaldea employees looked at the boy with regretful expressions.

"Heh, maybe next time," Shirou said with a helpless smile.

Then Holmes spoke up, "Young man, before you go, let me give you a piece of advice: 'While upholding justice is certainly something to be proud of, don't let that feeling cloud your judgment. Most of the time, happiness is found in the ordinary, everyday things.'"

"Hmm... thank you, Holmes." Upon hearing the man's suggestion, Shirou also reflected on himself. Although the ability to save the world on his own seemed to stir his calm heart again, family and friends were indeed very important, and he couldn't neglect one for the other.

"Then goodbye." The boy then left Chaldea via the teleportation device.

Blue light spun, lightning flashed, and they passed through a time tunnel. The next moment, Shirou was back in his kitchen. Looking out the window, all he saw was darkness. The living room lights were on, but no one was there.

The boy took out the bag containing the magical beasts, opened it, and the white dog ran out.

"Woof woof!" The white dog came out, looked around at its surroundings, and ran up to the boy affectionately.

Shirou crouched down and stroked Ca-vall II, checking its physical condition.

"Come on, lie down!"

"Wang."

The white dog lay down on the floor as soon as it heard the sound.

"shake hands!"

"Wang."

The white dog placed its paw on the boy's palm.

"Hmm, you seem to be in good shape. You're really amazing, Ca-vall II. Alright, let's get familiar with your new home first, and then I'll help you make your own little nest." Shirou patted Ca-vall II's head and stood up reassured.

Just then, Komachi, who had heard noises coming from the kitchen, came over.

"Brother, where did you run off to? You sneaked out while making dinner? If Komachi hadn't covered for you, Mom and Dad would have called looking for you." Komachi said to Shirou.

"Hey, Komachi, it feels like it's been a while since we last met," Shirou greeted with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I even helped you when you came back with a bunch of clothes earlier." Komachi gave her brother a disdainful look.

Shirou glanced at the clock in the living room and realized that less than an hour had passed since he was teleported to Chaldea.

"Woof!" At that moment, a large white dog emerged from behind the boy.

"Ah! Such a cute dog!" Komachi's eyes lit up, and she ran over to pet the white dog's head. "So good~! So good~! What's your name?"

“Ca-vall II,” Shirou introduced.

"Kava? A foreign dog? And why is it called the Second Generation?" Komachi didn't know where to begin her comment.

“Well, if it doesn’t sound right, just call him Ninja,” Shirou said.

"Oh, I know!" Komachi replied with a smile. "Wait! Do you want to keep it?"

“Yes, my friend’s dog is in my care for a while,” Shirou said.

"Brother, do you have foreign friends? How long will you be taking care of them?" Komachi asked.

"Well, I'm not sure about the exact time, but Mom and Dad don't object to us having a pet. Just treat it like a pet at home," Shirou said casually.

"Hmm... I have a feeling there's something going on here, but... oh well, since you're so cute~!" Komachi hugged the white dog and rubbed against it, grinning as she spoke.

"Woof~!" The white dog, being hugged, curiously looked around at its surroundings. Although it had separated from its female owner, it thought that as long as it followed its male owner, it would be able to see her again soon.

With this in mind, Ca-vall II gradually accepted its new environment. Enjoying three meals a day and two walks in the morning and evening, it had nothing to complain about.

After that, Shirou explained the situation to his parents and promised to take responsibility for training and caring for the dog, as well as keeping the house clean.

"It's rare for you to make a request, Shirou. Since you promise to take good care of the pet, I'll grant your request." Hachiman's mother made the decision.

"Woof woof!" Ca-vall walked up to them, wagging its tail and trying to please the two adults.

After all, they are often busy working outside, so having more animals at home to keep the children company would be a good option.

Moreover, the white dog is indeed very intelligent and can understand human speech. In an environment like Shinjuku, it can keep itself clean, which is no ordinary dog. Therefore, they have no reason to object.
