Once the initial shock of launch wore off, Shirou got a better look at the navigation AI. Silver hair, those eyes, that familiar presence—this wasn’t just inspired by Tiamat.

This was Tiamat.

Or at least, some version of her.

Getting around space wasn't the problem. Sure, Shirou's human body would freeze and cook simultaneously out there, but his mud form could handle cosmic radiation and the absolute cold just fine. Same with his Emperor transformation.

The prob...

As time passed, something shifted between the two on the balcony.

Morgan's queenly composure melted away, replaced by something softer, more vulnerable. The mischievous glint she'd been directing at Artoria faded completely as she lost herse...

Shirou followed Gaia back inside, watching her sink into her throne like she owned the universe. Which, he supposed, she kind of did.

A furious roar shattered the quiet.

"GAIA!"

The throne room doors exploded open. A blonde girl ...

MMMS 103

The sky stretched endlessly above them, clouds drifting without purpose. Morgan stood there breathing in the morning air, her expression peaceful but touched with something deeper—a sadness that seemed to weigh on her shoulders.

That solit...

IBHJ 1366

He stared at her in disbelief.

Did she just say... the Lord of Salvation don't exist?

His heart skipped a beat, a sharp jolt of unease rising in his chest. He tried to steady himself, but his voice came out shaky. "If that's true... th...

In the Age of Origin, Shirou's eyes drifted open. He was still sitting cross-legged at the edge of the Vortex Gate, legs stiff from however long he'd been out.

"Guess Gaia didn't lock me up after all." He pushed himself to his feet and took ...

When she was fifteen, Morgan was like a fairy by the lakeside—basking under the spring sun, straight out of a storybook. No worries, no doubts. Only curiosity for the unknown, and hope for tomorrow.

Morgan was the daughter of the great Kin...

IBHJ 1364

“In the mythic era,” she continued, “it was just like anywhere else—bloodthirsty gods, twisted monsters, ancient chaos. What really makes this land different…”

She glanced toward the distant mountains.

“…is the role of ...

IBHJ 1363

Shirou cut off the connection. His awareness snapped back into his real body just as the mud clone collapsed into raw ether, dissolving like smoke in the wind. A one-time trick, burned for the emergency.

Future Gaia stepped out from behind A...

Artoria looked down, her cheeks pink as she turned away from him.

"…!"

The evening gown she wore was pitch-black silk, with a zipper running from her hips all the way up her spine. Now that it was completely undone, her back was bare...

MMMS 100

As punishment for running his mouth in front of Her Majesty, Ryuuto had been given a new job—unofficial fashion advisor of Camelot.

Which, apparently, meant sitting on the edge of Artoria’s bed while she held up dresses for him like this...

IBHJ 1362

“I can’t believe it,” Shirou muttered. “That massive summoning circle… it was meant to call the Golden Emperor?”

He’d assumed it was just another ritual to pull something ancient from history. But this—this was the Golden Des...

In the park, Aoi's eyes widened slightly when she spotted Kariya. She'd known her childhood friend survived the Matou fire, but actually seeing him here in Fuyuki caught her off guard.

Just a month ago, he'd told her he was leaving the city ...

IBHJ 1361

“Really though, that’s a first,” Venus said brightly. “Gaia actually lost. And to me, no less!”

She grinned like she’d just won the universe in a lottery—absolutely radiant, like toppling Origin Gaia had been the rarest treasur...

IBHJ 1360

Time held its breath.

The newly arrived spirit giant caught Cosmic Alaya’s wrist mid-swing, stopping the arm before it could come down even an inch.

Of course it could. Because this giant… was also Cosmic Alaya. Just on different s...

MMMS 98

"It's not about Mom!" she huffed, puffing out her cheeks. "If you really know about the Holy Grail War, then you should know who my father is!"

"Ah." His expression shifted slightly. "Tokiomi."

Rin's whole face lit up like he'd just sa...

IBHJ 1359

"...Been a while, big sis."

"What?!" Origin Gaia's eyes flew open just as the golden light slammed into her.

The impact sent her flying before she could even raise her guard. By the time she scrambled back to her feet, ready to strike ...

IBHJ 1358

As expected from the guardian of the cosmos. Even with only fragments of her true essence manifesting here, she'd taken a direct hit from his Noble Phantasm without so much as a scratch.

Shirou's hands curled into fists. The Grand Summoning ...

MMMS 97

At the Einzbern castle's dining hall...

"What did Master tell you?" Morgan glanced at her sister, who'd just finished whatever mental conversation she was having with their Master.

"He said Irisviel wasn't feeling well yesterday, so he...

MMMS 96

"Ugh..." Iri's chest tightened as jealousy flared hot and sudden. Beautiful? He called Maiya beautiful? Her mind raced back through every conversation, every moment they'd shared. He'd never... not once had he ever called her that.

Her lip q...

"What did you expect? She's Origin Gaia, after all," the Grail said, materializing beside Mordred with barely contained glee in its voice.

Mordred shot the Grail a sharp look. "Why do you sound so damn happy about this?"

"How could I n...

MMMS 95

Ryuuto liked to think of himself as a man of pure love. No, seriously, he meant that.

He'd been with plenty of women before, but he'd never made any of them unhappy. When it came to winning girls over, he never relied on hypnotism or mind-co...

IBHJ 1356

If Gaia had called Arcueid, then she was definitely working on rebuilding the Cosmic Alaya.

"If Gaia can actually pull that off, it'll be huge for all of us—not just this solar system." Shirou's smile was small but genuine. He'd seen the C...

IBHJ 1355

In that split second of distraction, the Beast tore open another vortex and disappeared with Ritsuka in tow. Artoria lunged forward to intercept, but they were already gone—vanished into the swirling portal before she could even get close.

MMMS 94

“Lord Ryuuto… the wound’s already healed. I feel a lot better now.”

When Ryuuto stepped back into the room, he found Irisviel sitting up on the futon, her pale hair slightly mussed, eyes warm as she looked up at him.

“I’ve ...

IBHJ 1354

"There you are, Ritsuka-chan."

Ritsuka's voice came out flat and deadly. "What did you think you were going to do to my Mash?"

Something flickered across the Beast's face. "I can't believe you're looking at me like that.”

"I as...

“Skadi’s already gone to Britain. Merlin and the others are with her. Vivian too,” Artoria said. “China’s holding for now—Hinako and her sister are stationed there. They’ve got support from the Spiral Manor, and Hinako mentioned a re...

MMMS 93

Later…

Ryuuto and Maiya helped Irisviel into the manor.

As expected, the place had long since been abandoned. Dust coated everything. The air was stale. He guided them through a garden choked with waist-high weeds, then found a room ...

MMMS 92

“Iri? Irisviel? Heiress of the Einzbern family?” Ryuuto trailed after her, calling out as she stormed off in a huff.

The celebration had ended… poorly.

His so-called “proposal” had gone over like a lead balloon.

Artoria...
