A peaceful night in the midst of the storm

-???, ????, ????: (A world subjected to Pruning Theoretical Phenomenon)

"Stars, Cosmos, Humans, Animus, Hollow, Void, Anima, Animusphere... the power to control the stars... this is the potential of humanity, your majesty Gilgamesh.."

Jason said while the blue chain intertwined Gilgamesh's body as Arcuied neutralized him, the fantastic blue palace was replaced by pure white sand and nothing else. The aftermath came from the clashes between the power of stars and EA.

"The power to control the stars... you're insane... practitioner of magic... hehe, hahaha, but what a round way use of 3rd Magic... you can fool the others, but you can't fool my eyes."

"!!"

Gilgamesh said while laughing at unnatural Jason's use of Magecraft as golden molts started to leave on his body.

"To think I would be defeated this early on this war... what a twisted fate... when I decided to wipe the humanity using the evil of humanity itself, you show up like a clown and show human potential..."

"..."

"You arrive too late, Magician... but still, you let me see something good... Okay, I permit it... but I won't let my spirit origin use by the second time..."

Gilgamesh said as golden molts exploded, leaving a pure Saint Graph that a compatible host could use.

"Are you okay, Arcueid?"

"Yes, I'm satisfied. I was fidgeting with my fingers without knowing it. Next time I'll give it about 1% more."

"I see..."

Jason said as he managed to see Arcueid in her princess mode as her alignment and personality changed without him even knowing it.

"Well, Gilgamesh still left a parting gift, did he-"

(Did he already foresee this outcome and me plundering his saint graph with his clairvoyance?)

Jason thought and shook his head while Arcueid stretched her body as the blue chain that contained Gilgamesh vanished alongside the white sand that depicted the world where the timeline was pruned by reality.

(Still, A demi servant, huh, and a blood-related one at that, albeit she's already a homunculus... and those cold stares using the persona of Gilgamesh... HAH..)

Jason thought as he sighed perversely while his servant fetish started showing again, making Arcuied Bonk him on his head, while Argo, the ship that sailed on the stars, shifted them to reality.

-Fuyuki City, Emiya Residence - Afternoon, Sunset

"And that's what happened..."

Shirou said as he explained what happened earlier, looking at Jason, Arcuied, and a woman dressed in golden armor which looked at him with disdain as if he was a thief plundering the treasures she hid in her armory.

(It is me? or that woman looked at me contemptuously...)

Shirou thought as Jason looked at them with jealousy.

"She's Angelica Ainsworth, my big Sister... and big Sis. This is Emiya Shirou; please get along well..."

Angelica curled her lips as she nodded with Shirou, who looked at her warily.

(The ego of Gilgamesh might still linger in his saint graph... given by big Sis's looks at the Shirou... but I'm sure that fusion of the saint graph was completed being dominated by big Sis, but...)

Jason thought as he considered checking the saint graph of his big Sister later on.

"Err... Good job of kicking Heracles butt... you have potential. In the near future, the difficulty might change as Argo's magical energy would be used by servants... as I said, Argo's magical energy is not infinite... So in the future, you could only replenish your command spell once a day... but fret not, you will have another servant to accompany you in your journey."

"I see... you said I could summon a Servant as long as I have a catalyst, right?"

Shirou asked while Jason and Arcueid looked at each other and nodded simultaneously...

"I see..."

"Master Jason... Shirou, we have visitors."

Saber said as she dematerialized with Arcueid while Angelica used Argo to hide, making Shirou and Jason the only ones in the living room.

"Sorry for the intrusion~! Shirou! Where's my dinner!!!"

"Senpai, please excuse us."

The two young women said as they saw a young man with blonde hair lying on the floor while he winked at them repeatedly, particularly at the purple-haired woman.

"SHIROUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! who is this BRAT!?"

The young woman with short light brown hair shouted as she pointed her finger at a bystander she did not know about.

...

"Really, Fuji-nee, you need to look at things more carefully before coming to your own conclusion."

"Hehe, I'm so sorry... I did not know he was your friend."

The young woman, named Taiga Fujimura, sincerely apologized as she posed a dogeza on the floor while the young woman with purple hair was cooking their dinner as Shirou was lecturing Taiga.

"Still, I did not know Senpai had a friend other than Big brother."

"Well, he's more like my boss, Sakura."

"I see"

Shirou said while scratching his head while a young woman named Sakura acknowledged him.

"So that was it is~! You are his boss in his part-time job. Is Shirou a good boy on his job?"

"Yes, young Emiya has a good future... I shall guarantee that. Shirou is a good boy, after all."

Jason said, not losing on talking nonsense with Taiga, who accepted his challenge as they started praising Shirou nonstop, making Shirou flush in embarrassment, as the whole night was as peaceful as the stars in the starry sky.

-Fuyuki City, Fuyuki Church

"Hmph, looks like your ace card was already gone."

A servant with deep ultramarine full-body tights covered in Runic protections said while smirking at the priest in the alter, making the priest opened his eyes while looking at the servant without emotion.

"So be it... may the Lord embrace his soul."

"Tch, you're making me laugh, fake priest... how could that guy find his soul embraced by the god... he will murder him upon seeing him."

The servant said as he shook his head while the fake priest ignored his statement.

"Gilgamesh just finished his role in this war. It will not change the outcome that would happen in the future."

The fake priest said as he continued his role as overseer of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City while scheming for his following action.
