See you again, people! I couldn't help it. With so many ideas for a story with King of Fakers in my mind, I ended up writing the beginning of this one as well. But don't worry, I won't abandon the other story I started recently. In fact, the second chapter will be being updated at the same time as I publish this. This will be more of a long-term project.

For new people who haven't read any of my previous stories, King of Fakers is an 'OC' I created myself. His background is narrated in my first story "King of Fakers: Saving them all". I recommend you read it if you want to understand the character's decisions, thoughts and powers. If you'd rather just read this story, what you have to bear in mind is that King of Fakers would basically be an alternative version of Emiya Shirou, but they're not exactly the same person. Both exist as different entities, but very similar.

Also, for this story, this King of Fakers comes from an alternate ending of my second story "Fate/ Stay Night: King of Fakers' route." I won't go into details because that would involve a spoiler like a piano, and you might want to read the story. Anyway, there are references to that story in this chapter, but they doesn't have spoilers either.

As for how King of Fakers came into the Date to Live universe, that will be revealed later. The grace of the original story is that the origin of Shidou is not explained until much later, so I will do the same. But don't worry, although I haven't reached that point in the novels yet, but I decided to swallow spoiler and investigate. I already have everything more or less organized, but it won't be very complicated either.

Without more to say, let this new story begin.

Disclaimer: I don't own any right over Type-Moon, Fate Franchise and Date a Live series.

It was 5 o'clock in the morning of one day like any other. My internal clock made me wake up suddenly. My body practically rose up by itself, sitting on the bed and forming a straight angle.

I was in my modest room. The room was not very spacious, but it was not a tight place either. The walls were light brown and the floor was made of wood.

My bed was built into a corner, with a window on the side and another window on the back. With the time it was at the moment, hardly any light came in. Next to it was a simple desk with several drawers. On top of this was a lamp, several textbooks, and a rather futuristic computer.

Right next to the desk was a bookcase full of more textbooks, and some sleeves. On the other side of the room was the closet where I kept my clothes.

I rubbed my eyes with my hands to finish peeling and I set out to do my morning routine.

I silently went down to the ground floor of the house and entered the bathroom. I washed my face with cold water to finish waking up completely.

When I raised my head, what greeted me in the mirror was not the familiar image of a tall man with tanned skin, steel grey eyes and white hair. On the contrary, what I saw was a teenager with light skin, ochre-colored eyes that looked golden, and brown hair.

To this day, I am still surprised to have my original appearance, before the excessive use of the tracing changed it.

In fact, I keep wondering, why the hell do I have a physical body again and find myself in modern Japan.

I know that before I got here I was fighting in the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki and several years before the current date. My last memories are that my legs failed and I ended up being dragged into the Grail hole along with Gilgamesh.

From there, everything is blurred. I know that somehow, I was born again, a situation in my opinion quite absurd, although I have seen very strange things during my previous life.

The memories of my childhood in this 'new life', for some reason are gone. Something extremely ironic considering that was the same case in my previous life. Still, at least I know that in my first life, that was caused by that hell. But in this, the memories just weren't there. It was, like, somebody deleted them.

It might seem like I'm paranoid, and partly true, but knowing that there are magecrafts that can alter a person's memory, the theory is quite plausible.

Anyway, my first memories are of being adopted by the Itsuka family, after supposedly being abandoned by my birth mother. And I say 'supposedly' because I have no memory of her, and I don't know if she even existed to begin with.

That brings us to my current identity. Itsuka Shido, a seemingly normal teenager who attends of high school in this city, Tenguu City.

I didn't have a lot of conflicts with that. It's not like I remember my old name.

I went back to my room on the floor and started doing simple exercises. Nothing intense, just several sets of push-ups, chin-ups and squats. The same exercise routine I did in my previous life. My goal was to keep my body in shape, without being extremely muscular.

The house was in complete silence. That would be normal at this hour, everyone else is still asleep, but that had another explanation. For some strange reason, since a few years ago, my current parents began to make many business trips, leaving the house for long periods of time.

At first I thought it was a coincidence, but when it started to happen again and again, I became suspicious. I know that in my previous life, my only family was that man who rescued me from the fire, from whom I sadly do not remember his name, and I was completely alone most of the time. But, even so, I know that this was not normal. What parents leave their children alone for long periods of time, without being these adults?

Just yesterday, they left on another one of their trips, leaving me and my sister alone, again.

Yes, you heard right. I actually have a little sister, even if it's hard to believe. That was really something I never expected. It was a strange feeling, but I didn't dislike it at all.

Her name is Itsuka Kotori. She is a 13-year-old girl with long red hair, usually tied up in a pair of twin ponytails, and red eyes. She is quite sweet, although a little afraid at times.

Due to the continuous departures of our parents, it is my duty to take care of her. After living with her for so long, I know that, if I do have a choice between saving her, or saving a group of strangers, I would choose her without hesitation. Although, I will not allow that. My goal is, and will always be, to save everyone.

It doesn't matter if it's another life or when I find myself, my dream won't change.

I finished my exercises. Although I wasn't getting tired, my body had started to sweat. I still had time, so I went back to the bathroom to take a quick bath.

Bathing was not a very common custom in my previous life, but here in Japan it is practically considered one of the pleasures of life. I won't deny that it was quite relaxing.

After I finished showering, I left my pajamas in the laundry basket and switched to my school uniform. Today was the end of my vacation and I was starting my second year of high school at Raizen High School. Well, I'd gotten up at the same time even if it was a vacation.

I went to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast. Yes, I cooking in a modern kitchen. My cooking sucks compared to Emiya Shirou's, but with practice I was able to prepare decent dishes. Again, I had to learn how to cook so Kotori and I wouldn't starve, or at least we wouldn't have to live on instant food.

The world I was in was similar to my previous world, but there were several differences. As for the overall story, it was very similar with some differences here and there, such as, for example, that no matter how much I looked at that called Internet, I could not find the existence of a city called Fuyuki.

As for the 'moon-lit world', that is where the strange begins. I am just a third rate magus, rather, a simple spellcaster or a Faker, even if in that I'm considered the King, and my information about the Magus Association may be quite outdated. Still, as much as I tried to pull the strings I knew to get their attention, I didn't get any results.

I didn't do anything crazy like show my magecraft in public either. The last thing I need is a bunch of church executioners behind my current family and me.

It was really weird. They either hid even more from society, or they didn't really exist in this world.

I inspected the entire city I live in, and I can tell that the only person with magical circuits that inhabits it is me. My reality marble also remained intact, although that was to be expected as the representation of my soul.

The only person I noticed had anything out of the ordinary was...

"Good morning, Onii-chan!"

My spiral of thoughts was interrupted by a voice full of energy. I turned to look in the direction I was coming from and met my little sister who had just entered the living room.

She was already dressed in her school uniform, and wore her typical white ribbons to tie her twin pigtails. In the morning and she already had a radiant smile on her face, contrary to my usual stoic expression.

With such a view, I couldn't help but show a smile. "Good morning, Kotori. Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes."

"Hi!"

After her cheerful response, she sat on the sofa and turned on the television. The program that was being broadcast was talking about a spacequake just outside Tenguu city, the city where we live.

Spacequakes, strange phenomena that occur throughout the world and completely destroy the place where they happen. They are so called because it is space itself that is shaken. That would be the other reason why things in this world are so different from my previous world.

Thirty years ago in central Eurasia, the first spacequake occurred, the largest to date. The victims were countless, and the world was shaken by tragedy.

From there, more smaller-scale spacequakes began to happen all over the world, most often in Japan. Twenty-five years ago, the area we live in was wiped out by one of these phenomena. After that, the incidents were kept to a mínimum, and the city could be rebuilt and repopulated.

Governments and self-defense forces managed to develop systems to predict spacequakes, and victims have been reduced to almost none.

However, lately, this type of news has become very frequent.

"Haven't a lot of them shown up lately?" I asked Kotori to lighten the mood a bit.

"It seems so." For a moment, my sister's cheerful attitude changed to a serious one.

It wasn't the first time she did it. They were small slips that a normal person would not notice. Until now I decided to let it go, I assumed that a grim news like that worsened her mood.

I turned off the stove. Breakfast was ready.

I silently approached Kotori and positioned myself beside her. She was so engrossed in television that she didn't even notice. Her expression had a frown, and it was no wonder. Images of the crater left by the spacequake were displayed on the television screen. The destruction was easily on the level of a anti-fortress noble phantasm.

My eyes settled on the object in her mouth. Her favorite food, a lollipop. With a quick and precise movement, I grabbed the lolipop's stick and pulled it out of her mouth.

"Eh?" Well... maybe I overdid it a little. It took her a few moments to realize that her precious lollipop was in my hand. "Return it to me, Onii-chan!"

She desperately tried to reach it, but because of the difference in height between us, I just had to raise my arm so she wouldn't make it.

"How many times have I told you not to eat a lolipop before breakfast? It will take away your hunger, and with so much sugar, in the end you'll get cavities."

Seeing that she couldn't take it away from me, she changed tactics. "Please... Onii-chan." She used her most powerful weapon, the sad puppy eyes.

I tried to resist it, but it was useless. She was too cute.

After I let out a heavy sigh, I ended up giving Kotori the lollipop back. "Fine, but you have to eat breakfast without leaving anything."

Her expression instantly passed into one of total happiness. "Yay! I love you, Onii-chan!"

Seeing that at least her smile returned, I know it was worth it.

After the table was set, we both began to have breakfast. I had trouble diverting my attention from Kotori. For a few years, I could feel a subtle bond between the two of us. And no, I don't mean the bond of a mere pair of normal brothers, but a real bond, similar to the bond I had with Rin because of our master-servant contract.

It's very subtle, and it's almost hard to feel, but it's there. Already, I noticed that since this bond was formed, Kotori released a lot of energy, or 'od', as the magus called it in my previous world. Her od reserves were far superior to those of an average magus at this time, I would even say they matched the Rin reserves, regardless of her crest.

A small but steady flow of prana was traveling into my body through the bond, which was quite strange. Having a living body again, I no longer needed a constant source of prana to exist.

It was all very strange. I remember this started five years ago, when Kotori and I were involved in a fire that devastated the area where we lived. For some reason, my memories of that day are blurred. How ironic.

Anyway, she doesn't seem to know about this, so I decided not to investigate anymore. I didn't want to involve her in the 'moon-lit world'. I wanted her to have a peaceful and happy life.

"Is there anything in particular you want for lunch?" Since today was the first day of school, we'd only have introductions, so we'd be free by lunchtime.

Kotori jumped out of her chair and raised her arms upwards. "A luxurious lunch for children!"

I couldn't help raising an eyebrow. She seemed very excited about the idea. "That's only in a restaurant. Why do you want to eat out of the house today?"

"Because I want to. Please! Please! Onii-chan." She put her hands together and put on her innocent expression, as she winked at me.

I sighed again and accepted. It's not that we were badly budgeted. We could afford a little too much now and then.

We finished breakfast and left home to go to our respective schools. On the way, Kotori was practically jumping for joy. She was really excited. That somehow made me happy.

In the middle of the journey, we stopped at the restaurant we chose to eat today.

"I'm happy, thank you for bringing me, Onii-chan. I'll see you here after school, okay?"

"I understand."

"I repeat it! You must keep your promise! Even if terrorists take the restaurant, you must come!"

That was unlikely, although if it were to happen, I would come myself to resolve the situation. A few mysterious arrows can come through the window and knock out the terrorists.

"If that happens, I doubt there's anything to eat. But, I promise you. I will come with you after school". As I made my promise, I put my hand on her head and stroked her hair.

She closed her eyes and smiled as she let her hair revolve. As I finished, she turned and ran towards her school. She jumped and turned to look at me for the last time as she raised her hand to say goodbye.

"It's a promise! You have to come, even if a spacequake happens!"

"Yes I know. You must go or you will be late on your first day."

After saying goodbye to Kotori, I started my lonely walk to school. You're probably wondering why I go to school. Normally I'd be traveling the world by now to save people from spacequakes, but this time, I had a home and a family.

Because of our parents' constant travels, I promised myself that I would take care of Kotori until she could become independent. In addition, although I retained the basic knowledge provided by the Grail, going to school and expanding that knowledge is appreciated.

At the moment, thanks to technological advances, victims of space quakes are something you rarely see, so I'm not in a hurry. What I would like to investigate is how the government manages to restore the damaged areas in just one day. Even if they try to cover it up, such a feat is impossible by mundane means. If I want to find the first hints that magecraft also exists in this world, that's the only clue I have right now.

For the rest of the way, I felt someone watching me. I must admit that whoever it was, he was pretty good. Even when I limited myself to looking sideways, I could barely see his sneaky silhouette.

I didn't give it much thought as I didn't feel any malicious intent.

Throughout my school life, I never bothered to make many friends. Whenever someone asked me, I helped him, of course, but my relationship with the other students ended there. Socializing has never been my strong point. It's not that I avoided others, I just didn't get intimate with them.

"Oh look. Isn't that the Fake Janitor?" I heard a group of students talking in the background.

Although it may seem like a joke, because I always help others when they ask me to, I ended up getting the same nickname that, according to Rin, Emiya Shirou got in high school. Can't help it, we're both really alike.

I was far from popular at school, but I guess I ended up getting a reputation.

"Good morning, Itsuka."

I turned to the voice that pronounced my last name. Right in front of my desk was one of the few people, if not the only one, who came to me. You could say we were friends. Hiroto Tonomachi, he was a boy with black hair combed up and brown eyes.

Despite his rather extroverted personality, he for some reason has as few relationships with other students as I do.

"Oh. Good morning, Tonomachi."

"I see that you are as serious as ever. Being once again in your class, makes me believe that we are meant to be together."

I smiled ironically at his bizarre comment. "Do you really think so?"

He lifted a finger, and it looked like he was going to give me another one of his strange lectures, but the sound of his mobile phone interrupted him.

"Oh, excuse me. It's my girlfriend." He pulled out her phone and started touching it.

"Your girlfriend, huh..." That subject had crossed my mind a few times. In my previous life, I didn't even know that concept existed. After the lecture on what was a date given to me by Rin, those concepts were not strange to me, but I still did not understand it well.

Now, as a teenager full of hormones, I won't deny that the opposite sex attracts me a little, but I still don't give it much thought. After all, who would fall in love with someone like me?

"Wait, since when do you have a girlfriend?"

"Let me show you. Look." After saying that, he showed me the screen of his phone, or rather put it inches from my face.

Instead of seeing a picture of a girl our age, what I saw was the cover of a video game. In it was a girl who looked very disturbingly like Kotori, and a sign that said 'touch me'.

"Isn't that a dating simulator?"

"A girlfriend is a girlfriend. So stop criticizing so much! These games teach you everything you need to interact with a girl! They are practically dating books. This 'Fall in love: My little Seed' is in real time and it is especially-"

"Itsuka Shido." His speech was interrupted by a third voice.

A pity, his speech had attracted me with the idea that those games would help me understand the girls better. To this day, even after living several years with Kotori, I still don't understand those strange reactions that Rin had from time to time.

The voice came from a girl standing a few meters from us, next to the desk next to me. She had white hair up to her shoulders, and blue eyes. I had to admit she was quite beautiful.

The weird thing is, as I recall, she and I didn't know each other. Or at least, I didn't know her.

"Me?" I asked her pointing at me. There was still a chance that I'd heard wrong. However, she was staring at me.

"Yes." Her short answer confirmed that it was me she was referring to.

"Do we know each other?"

"Don't you remember?" She answered my question with another question, in a flat tone.

That left me with even more questions. I know that my memory since my time in this world has many gaps, but I would remember such a remarkable person.

After a few seconds of silence, she broke eye contact and sat at her desk without saying anything else.

"Do you know her, Tonomachi?" Since she wasn't going to talk anymore, I decided to ask Tonomachi.

"You're kidding, right? You're telling me you don't know who Tobiichi Origami, the super genius, is?

"Tobiichi Origami?" The name didn't ring a bell. You could say that I've helped all the people in this school with something, but I don't sound like I've ever interacted with this girl. How odd.

"She has the highest marks of our year, including physical education. And above all, she's really cute. She was in third place in the 'Top Most Wanted Girlfriends – top thirteen' last year. Didn't you see it?"

"I didn't even know it existed until a few moments ago. And besides, why thirteen? Is it a random number?"

"That's because the girl who organized it was in 13th place."

"Aaah..." I couldn't help but sweat at the direction the conversation was taking. Even weirder was that the girl in question completely ignored our conversation and continued to read her book.

"By the way, the 'most desired boyfriend ranking' goes up to 385."

"So many!? The bottom is closer to the worst ranking, isn't it? The organizer decided that too?"

"Ahh. He really didn't know how to give up."

I rolled my eyes at his answer. "Tonomachi, what place did you get in?"

"The 385th."

I resisted as I could bring my hand to my face. "So it was you who organized it. I don't know why, but I expected it."

"The reasons I got that place were 'his passion seems to be too strong', 'he seems to be hairy', and 'his toenails seem to smell'."

"Whatever you look at it, that's the worst rating."

"Well, underneath that are the people who didn't get any vote. At least with the negative votes I managed to win in that category."

I couldn't resist any longer and I palmed my face. "With a place like that, it would have been better if you had surrendered."

"Don't worry Itsuka. You were registered under your nickname, 'Fake Janitor', you got enough votes and 10th place." Although his voice sounded happy, I could see comic tears in his eyes.

"Since when is that like that? It must be an exaggeration."

He ignored my question and continued with his speech. "Damn handsome. All comments were 'very handsome and helpful, although he is a bit distant'."

After a few moments, Tonomachi managed to overcome his existential crisis and returned to the main topic.

"Anyway, she is certainly someone very famous. Why does Tobiichi know you?" He asked me with a suspicious face.

"That's what I'd like to know."

The bell rang announcing the beginning of the class and all the students sat at their desks. The conversation ended there, and I looked away from the mysterious girl to look ahead.

Through the door entered a woman of short stature with short brown hair, eyes of the same color and glasses.

"Oh, it's Tama-chan." I heard one of my classmates call her by her nickname. She was, in fact, the same teacher we had last year.

"Good morning. I will be your teacher this year. My name is Okamine Tamae." She introduced herself with a cheerful smile.

The class began to applaud her for some reason, and I was drawn to it. Amid the applause, I noticed a look at me. I turned around and saw Tobiichi staring at me again.

I raised an eyebrow, but she kept looking at me quietly. The situation was very strange.

What does she want from me?

The presentations were over, and all the students began to leave the classroom. Tonomachi rose from his desk and turned to look at me.

"Itsuka, let's go home together."

"I'm sorry, I already have plans today."

"Oh? With a girl?"

"You could say yes, even though it's with Kotori."

"I know. From my research, I have concluded that no girl would want to have lunch with you." That was quite hard on his part, but he was right.

Although, oddly enough, the moment Tonomachi said that, I could see from the corner of my eye that Tobiichi reacted. It was very subtle. Any normal person would have overlooked it.

Before I could respond, a shrill alarm rang throughout the building.

"This is not a simulation, please go to the nearest shelter. I repeat, a spacequake has been detected in the area."

My face went to an extremely serious one and I got up from the desk at once. This was the first time this had happened while I was at school.

Tonomachi looked at me somewhat in surprise, but we immediately headed for the shelter that was in this school.

The students were running in panic down the hall. Okame-sensei, who was at the shelter door, was desperately trying to keep the situation in check.

"Calm down! Don't forget the three rules! One row, firm, and orderly!"

I ignored the environment around me as I lined up to enter the shelter. My current concern was Kotori. I was hoping she could also enter one of the many shelters in the city.

I decided to call her on my cell phone just in case, but she didn't answer. The worry started growing inside me. I know it could just be coincidence, but her words this morning resonated in my mind. "You have to come, even if a spacequake occurs!"

As a last resort, I decided to check where she was by looking at the location of her mobile phone using GPS.

My eyes opened wide when I saw her location. It was the worst case. She was at the restaurant where we agreed to have lunch, and according to the app I was using, the spacequake was going to happen right there.

My body moved on its own. I stepped out of the queue and raced towards the exit of the building, ignoring Okame-sensei's warnings.

I didn't care if someone saw me running at inhuman speed. The only thought in my head was that I had to save her.

I seemed to meet Tobiichi on the way, who was going in the opposite direction of the shelter, but I also ignored her.

My little sister. For someone who had never had loved ones and had always been alone, suddenly having a younger sister was shocking, for lack of a better word. After living with her for so many years, if I were asked who was the most important person in the world for me right now, without a moment's hesitation, I'd say she.

I promised myself I'd take care of her, and protect her smile. I don't care if it's one of those absurd spacequakes, or if I meet the King of Heroes again, I'm gonna save her!

The streets of Tenguu City were now completely empty and without any sign of people living here. All the electronic signs in the city showed warning signs and danger.

"Trace on!" This worked in my favor. With no one in sight to witness it, I pumped prana into my legs and reinforced them to the limit. I became a blur that swept the streets at immense speed. Every time my feet hit the ground, I could see how small cracks formed.

I could already see the restaurant, it was just one street away. I increased the pace even more. I didn't care if my muscles were torn apart

Still, I didn't get there in time.

In front of me occurred the phenomenon known as spacequake. Space itself trembled and became distorted. The buildings and the road in front of me were completely destroyed.

"Guh!" I covered myself as best I could and reinforced my whole body and clothes in the face of the imminent rain of debris. I managed to get out practically unscathed, with some parts of the uniform torn and a couple of bruises.

"Kotori!" Without wasting time, I advanced through the rubble. I had to find her.

I reached the center of the explosion. There was no more debris from the buildings that existed a few moments ago, there was simply a large crater. The whole place was filled with residual energy.

I scanned the entire area with my reinforced eyes. I found no trace of my sister, but I found something unexpected in the center of the crater.

There was a sort of throne there, with what looked like a hilt of a sword sticking out of it. At its feet was a girl with long purple hair and indigo eyes. She was wearing a black and purple medieval-style armor, and underneath was a sort of membrane made of pure energy.

Her aura gave off majesty, and above all, power. An immense raw power. It seemed like I was back next to Saber after she had access to her full potential. That, along with her supernatural beauty, screamed inhuman

Our eyes met. Her stoic expression passed into a deadly serious and her hand landed on the hilt that sticked out of the throne. She pulled it and drew a large sword. Its blade was wide and white, with a crystalline edge and blue lines that throbbed with power.

My structural grasp went into action, revealing the name of the weapon and its nature. Sandalphon, Massacre Ruler. Its existence was strange, similar to that of a noble phantasm, but at the same time different. It had no legend behind it, but it had a great conceptual weight. The sword could channel the enormous magical energy of its wielder and fire it, similar to noble phantams like Excalibur or Merodach.

However, the strangest thing was its owner. The sword had combat experience, but there was no information about the girl wielding it. She seemed to be a nameless entity, like me.

I had no more time to analyze her sword. The sheer amount of murderous intent that came out of her was the first warning I had.

The mysterious girl swung her sword horizontally in my direction. My instincts, polished in countless battles, warned me of immense danger, and my reflexes made me duck quickly.

A rainbow light beam passed at high speed through where my neck had been less than a second ago. I heard a sound of impact behind me, and I saw sideways as the top of the building behind me collapsed to one side.

The attack had cut it clean, and that would have happened to my head if I hadn't bent down.

The entity quickly crossed the distance between us and threw me a diagonal swing with her sword. She intended to cut myself in half from my right shoulder to my left hip.

But, the strangest thing of all was the face she was putting on while she was doing it.

"Trace on!" I traced Kanshou as fast as I could in my left hand and swung it with all my might in a motion opposite to her.

Both blades clashed violently and sparks flew. Her attack was stopped, and she backed away in surprise. Despite the huge difference in size, the married sword resisted only with a scratch, as was to be expected from a C rank noble phantasm.

Still, I could feel its enormous strength in my arm. If it wasn't reinforced, my muscles would have torn and my bones would have splintered.

She put herself in a defensive position, though she did not appear to be using a conventional sword style. I stayed in the same place without moving, with a relaxed posture but ready to move into action quickly.

"Have you also come to kill me?" The mysterious girl spoke for the first time. Her voice was enchanting.

However, the question was strange. She was the first to try to kill me, and now she's asking me if I came to kill her.

"No. I just came to find my sister. I don't like killing people." I answered her in a flat tone just like her.

"Liar. You are wielding a sword. "

"This is for self-defense. You were the first to attack me. If I leave my weapon, will you give up hostilities?" I tried my luck while letting Kanshou dissipate.

It was just a symbolic gesture. The moment she decided to resume the fight, I could immediately proyect a pair of married swords.

She squinted, but made no move. She seemed to be analyzing me carefully.

Now that I was looking better, she seemed tired. Not physically, but mentally.

The tense moment was suddenly cut off when we both felt several presences just above us.

I turned quickly to look in their direction. What I saw was a group of people dressed in strange mechanical suits, flying a few feet above us.

From the weapons they were carrying in their hands, a lot of what I recognized as missiles went off in our direction.

I was about to jump off course, but I stopped when I saw that the girl didn't move or do anything. No, that wouldn't be wrong. The enormous power I could feel inside her expanded around her.

The missiles hit the energy and were completely immobile in the middle of the air.

"This kind of thing is useless. Why don't they ever learn?" She spoke again, and this time, her voice was a little exasperated.

From what she said, it seemed this wasn't the first time this had happened. I suppose it's normal for her to be so hostile to humans if these people always tried to kill her when they saw her, without even stopping to try to reason.

She raised her free hand and closed it in a fist. The missiles squeezed and twisted until they exploded, and even the explosion compressed, making it almost harmless. A demonstration of the immense power of this being.

The people in the air had a brief moment of surprise, but resumed their attack immediately, firing even more missiles.

The mysterious girl simply sighed, putting on a sad face. It was the same face she made when she tried to cut me. That confirmed it. This girl didn't want to fight, she was forced to.

She was certainly far superior to flying people, and yet she seemed much more despondent.

The situation was strange, in many ways. This was my first contact with the supernatural side of this world, and the questions in my head only multiplied.

"Disappear. Disappear alll... Just disappear!" She pumped a great deal of prana into her sword and swung it lazily in the direction of her enemy, unleashing the same sharp attack she used against me.

They hurried to the sides and dodged it.

I found myself quite confused. It was obvious that the flying people didn't stand a chance, and yet who seemed to need help was the girl next to me.

A beam of light was fired at her from a different angle. As expected, it bounced harmlessly against the enormous energy that came from the being.

I heard someone land near me. I turned to look at it, and I met the person I met today in high school.

"Tobiichi... Origami?"

She was wearing the same mechanical suit with thrusters on her back as the other flying people, and a strange gun in her hands. I guess that's what fired the beam of light.

I already felt that the girl had a mysterious aura around her, but I didn't expect this. Plus, now she was releasing some magical energy, which I couldn't perceive at school. That had something to do with that suit.

"Itsuka... Shidou?"

Despite being surprised to see me here from all places, her stoic face did not change.

There was no time to exchange more words. The mysterious girl swung her prana-brimming sword toward Tobiichi. She kicked the ground to dodge the attack, and hurled herself at it with inhuman speed.

In his hands appeared a laser sword, similar to those showing in some movies I saw with Kotori. Sandalphon and the laser sword clashed violently, triggering a huge shock wave.

"Guh!" My reinforced body held out, but I still slipped back a few feet.

Tobiichi was effortlessly repelled by the mysterious girl, and they both stared at each other with sharp glances.

I was about to throw myself in to try to stop them, when my cell phone started ringing.

"What!?" That was the signal.

Both threw themselves at each other and collided again. Each clash between their blades produced a violent shock wave that prevented me from approaching.

It was obvious who was going to win.

The mysterious girl's fighting style was unorthodox, simply based on overwhelming her opponent with her immense power.

On the other hand, Tobiichi's fighting style indicated countless hours of training and effort.

She was giving it all of herself, but still, she couldn't land any attack on the being. In fact, the mysterious girl wasn't even trying.

I kept pushing against the immense energy that came from her fight. I didn't intend to stand by and watch them kill each other.

Then, something happened that, frankly, I couldn't understand. At one point I was in the middle of the destroyed street, and at the other I was in a room I didn't know about.

The place where I 'appeared' looked like a futuristic-looking room, like the ones in the same movies where the lightsabers come out.

"Huh? Where the hell am I?" My confusion, which had been building up since I met the mysterious girl, was reaching limits that I didn't even think I had.

"Forget that. I have to come back-"

"I see that you didn't end up fainting." I was stopped by an indifferent, spaced voice.

I turned in her direction and met a woman in her 20s. Her hair was gray and messy, eyes decorated with thick dark circles, and she wore a military uniform.

"Who are you?" I put on an emotionless face and asked her in a serious tone.

Although I felt no hostility on her part, I decided not to let my guard down. I was in a completely unknown place, and the probability that I was surrounded was still present.

"I am the Analysis Officer here, Murasame Reine. There is no need to be alert. Here you are safe."

"And where is 'here'?"

"You're in the hangar of Fraxinus. We brought you here because your life was in danger down there."

"Fraxinus...?" That was a name I'd never heard before

Even more questions came up in my head. Why does this organization, which is apparently involved with the 'moon-lit world', know about me and rescue me?

I had no time to waste. I had to go back to stop those two, and most of all, I had to look for Kotori.

She turned around in silence and began to walk slowly towards the hallway she had entered.

"Hey, wait! You still-" My sentence was cut off by her sleepy voice.

"Follow me. There's someone I want to introduce you to... I know you have a lot of questions, but I'm bad at explaining. If you want any details, you should ask that person."

Well, the promise that my questions would be answered was tempting.

I decided to follow her, remaining cautious at all times. Kanshou and Bakuya's plans were visualized in my mind just un case.

Murasame was staggering all the way. Her enormous lack of sleep was more than evident. In the end she stumbled and hit her head against the wall.

"Are you all right?" I went to check on her. She didn't fall down, and she stood on the wall moaning. The tension and seriousness of the moment vanished completely.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Recently I haven't been getting enough sleep."

"That's obvious. When was the last time you slept?"

She lifted three fingers. "Maybe about thirty years?"

"That's impossible!" I was speaking from experience. When I was alive, as much as I ignored fatigue and kept pushing my limit to save more people, at the end, the body started to fail.

30 years was an exaggeration. A week or two was already stretching it a lot, and besides, that amount of time exceeds her apparent age.

"Well, it's true that I can't remember the last time I slept. I have something like extreme insomnia."

"Is that so...?"

"Oh. Ahh, sorry, it's medicine time."

Murasame took out a box of pills, opened it and poured the contents into her mouth. It looked like she was drinking the pills. She finished swallowing the medication and put the box back in the pocket as if nothing unusual had happened.

"Do you know that dose can easily be fatal?"

"They're just sleeping pills, and they're not very effective either."

I couldn't help but sigh. If all the people in this organization are like this, then seriousness is conspicuous by its absence.

After going through several narrow corridors, we arrive at the place in question. We arrive at a metal door with an electronic panel next to it.

"Here we are..."

The next moment, a beep of the electronic device was heard and the door opened.

"Here, please enter..."

I resumed my serious forehead and did what he told me. What I found was a room that looked like a ship's bridge. In front of the door, the floor stretched out in the middle oval, and placed in its center, there was a chair that looked like the captain's seat.

In addition, after gently sloping stairs leading to a lower floor, crew members could be seen operating consoles with a futuristic look. The place was quite dark in general, highlighting the light emitted by the monitors of said consoles.

"I brought him..." Murame spoke to a man next to the captain's seat.

This one was tall, with long wavy blond hair, brown eyes, and wore the same military uniform as all present.

"Good job." The man bowed in a small bow, like a butler, and turned to look at me.

"Hello. I am the Vice Commander here. My name is Kannazuky Kyohei. I am pleased to meet you."

"The same here." I couldn't think of anything else to say at his courteous presentation.

Then Kannazuky turned and spoke to the person sitting in the chair, which I could not see.

"Commander, Analysis Officer Murasame has returned."

A grunt of a very familiar voice was heard, and the chair turned to me.

"I welcome you to Ratatoskr."

The so-called 'commander' greeted me with a lovely voice. She was a young figure wearing a crimson uniform on her shoulders. Her red hair was tied in a pair of twintails by two black ribbons, and in her mouth was a lolipop.

My earnest expression gradually shifted to one of enormous surprise.

"Kotori!?" No matter how you look at her, this person was my little sister.

My mind set off at full speed. She was apparently safe, which was a relief, but with this came more worries.

Had she been kidnapped and forced to work for this organization? Had she been brainwashed? Was this the equivalent of the Magus Association of this world and they already wanted to try to dissect us?

Every choice that passed through my mind was more ridiculous tan the previous, but my confused mind assumed the worst.

I tensed myself completely. My body was reinforced and my hands opened, preparing to grab the pair of married swords I was about to trace.

In my state of maximum concentration, I didn't realize that some kind of alarm started ringing.

"Don't worry Kotori! Your brother is going to get you out of here-!"

I was interrupted by Kotori's alarmed voice. "Hey, hey, hold your horses Shidou! Calm down!"

I stopped in my tracks. The prana that was accumulating in my hands dispersed.

"What I feared. Don't listen to them Kotori! These people kidnapped and brainwashed you!"

"Stop saying nonsense, stupid brother with hero complex! No one has kidnapped me. I work here." Kotori replied with a vocabulary unfit for her.

I turned to look at the Vice Commander and pointed a little murder intent at him.

"Is that true?"

Instead of panicking, for some reason he made a face of pleasure. What the hell?

"Yes, she works here of her own free will, Shin." It was Murasame who answered.

After checking that there were no signs of deception in her words, I began to relax slowly, and my brain began to connect the dots.

"So, all the times you said you were going to a friend's house, you were actually doing this?"

"Wow, I see you're catching on fast. Yes, you're right."

"Do our parents know about this?"

"Yes. Why do you ask?"

"It's not normal for parents to leave their children alone for so long. I was beginning to think about having a good chat with them, but I see that this is the reason."

Kotori looked at me with an indecipherable expression. "I didn't think you were so observant. Anyway, I'm sure you have a lot of questions. This commander will take the trouble to answer them."

With the situation calmed down, the alarms stopped ringing, and several crew members breathed a sigh of relief.

I felt ripped off. So many years trying to keep Kotori out of the 'moon-lit world', when in fact, she was already involved.

"Okay. First of all, what was that being?" My question had two intentions. Knowing what that mysterious girl was, and confirming whether Kotori, and this organization, knew it.

"Oh, you mean the girl in armor, right?" With a snap of her fingers, one of the large monitors in the room showed a picture of the fight I witnessed a few moments ago.

"She is a Spirit."

"Spirit... as heroic spirit?" I tried my luck to see if the terminology of my previous world was applied in this one.

"I don't know what you're talking about. What I mean is that she's a being that didn't originally exist in this world. Just by appearing in this world, not by her own will or anything like that, the surrounding area is torn apart."

The first thing that came into my head was 'Kaleidoscope'. But, as Counter Guardian, I have a basic understanding of how true magic works, and it doesn't involve destroying the area when you reach another parallel universe.

However, in her explanation there was another important fact.

"So, these spirits are the cause of the spacequakes?" I couldn't help but frown at the idea.

"Right. You were lucky, Shidou. If the scale of the explosion had been a little larger, you would have been blown up instantly. Anyway, why did you come out when the alarm was going off? Are you an idiot? Did you want to die?"

"I went to save you." She blinked a couple of times.

To make her understand my point, I showed her my mobile phone that still had the GPS app open.

"Ahh, that's why." To my surprise, she took her phone out of her pocket. But that was strange. If we are at this base of operations, why is its location still in front of the restaurant?

"I was wondering why you would do something so stupid, so it was this. How stupid do you think I am, silly brother?"

"But why does your cell phone signal keep dialing that it's in the restaurant?"

"That's because we're in front of the restaurant."

"Huh?"

"I guess showing it to you will be quicker than explaining it to you... Stop the filter."

It wasn't that they turned on some lights, rather, it was as if they were pulling away a dark curtain. The whole room was surrounded by blue sky.

It didn't take my brain very long to understand this.

"Are we flying?"

"That's right. This 'Fraxinus' is an airship. We are located 15000 meters above the Tenguu City, and, coincidentally, we are just above the restaurant."

Kotori crossed her arms and smiled. She seemed very proud of this airship.

"Then, could you explain to me why you're here? And what is this organization you work for?"

"That's not important right now. Going back to the main topic..." She evaded my question, which made me frown again, and pointed at the screen again. "Those people you see flying are the AST. A unit specialized in Spirits."

"So, their task is to try to kill them." That explained a lot of things, although I was worried that Kotori would talk about these issues without flinching.

"Right again. I see you're not as useless as I thought you would be. If you considered it normaly, they being dead would be the best thing for us."

I was familiar with that way of thinking. I applied it myself when I faced the dead apostles. But, there was a difference between them and the mysterious girl.

"So they chose the 'simple' solution, killing one to save the others. Have they ever bothered to try to dialogue with the Spirits?"

"Why do you ask? They are monsters. Just by appearing in this world they cause spacequakes. They are the deadliest and most evil poison!"

"Is that so? What I saw was a lonely girl who was tired of constantly fighting with the AST, and needed help. Also, you said it a few moments ago. They don't cause spacequakes of their own free will."

"That may be true. But the thing is, you can't leave an existence of the same level of danger as a nuclear bomb out there just because you felt sorry for it. Today ended only with a small explosion, but we are not sure that the next time it will be a disaster of the level of Eurasia."

"Still, killing them without trying anything else is wrong."

Kotori sighed at my insistence. I can't help it, I'm tired of situations like this.

"You only met her for a few minutes, and she almost killed you, but you're still standing by her side... Could it be that you fell in love with her?"

"I don't know why are you saying that, but I don't need any reason to help someone who needs it."

The whole room was silent. Even the crew stopped at what I was doing and looked at me with surprised faces. The only one who wasn't surprised was Kotori, who showed a smile, as if she was already waiting for this.

"Okay then. What other solution do you propose?"

I stopped to think about it for a few moments, but I could not find any other obvious solution. The situation was really delicate.

"Anyway... the first thing would be to try to talk to them even just once. From there, we'll see if they're really hostile or not."

"I see... Then, let us help you."

"Eh?" That answer took me by surprise. I thought she was going to reject my answer and call me crazy.

My sister opened her arms, as if to refer to the whole place. "I said, we will help you. All of Ratatoskr's power will go to support you, Shidou."

My mind was still processing the implications of that. I never expected an entire organization to support me in the selfish pursuit of my dream.

"Let me answer your previous question. Who we are. The ways of dealing with a Spirit are basically divided into two main methods." She paused briefly and lifted a finger. "The first is the approach that the AST is taking. The method of exterminating them through a power confrontation."

After that, she raised a second finger. "The other method is to talk to the Spirits. We are Ratatoskr, an organization created for the purpose of solving spacequakes without killing spirits, through conversation."

That was a relief. I now know that Kotori didn't get into any shady magus business. However, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Couldn't you have started with that? If you wanted me to work with you, I would have accepted anyway."

"You've got the premise completely wrong. We don't want to recruit you. In first place, the organization called Ratatoskr was created for the sake of Shidou."

That alerted me. Did they already know about my condition as a magecraft user?

"Well, it might be more correct to say that it is an organization to lay the groundwork for Shidou's role in negotiations with the Spirits to solve the problem of spacequakes. Anyway, this organization wouldn't exist if Shidou didn't exist."

That explained things a little better, but it didn't alleviate my concerns.

"And why me, of all people?"

"Well, Shidou is special"

Upon hearing her answer, I began to sweat. It can't be, I practiced for not to neglect my skills with simple projections and reinforcement, things that are very disguised. And I always made sure that Kotori wasn't around.

Had they been watching me for some time? It was possible. They were 15,000 feet off the ground. Even reinforcing my eyes, I would hardly see a point in the sky.

"What do you mean by that?" I tried to stay calm, but it was really difficult.

"Oh, well, you'll understand the reason eventually. Isn't that good? I'm saying that we, all members and all our technology, will back your actions. Or... are you thinking of standing between the Spirits and the AST without preparing for anything? You're going to die, no doubt."

If I said that it didn't occur to me, I would be lying. However, that would be to be seen. I have come out of worse situations. If these spirits are at the level of the King of Heroes, or the Primate Murder, then we could say that humanity had been screwed for a long time.

At least, her assumption that I will die immediately makes me think that she doesn't know my secret, or at least knows only the surface.

"So, for that method of conversation, what should be done in particular?"

"Making the Spirit fall in love." She responded in a proud tone.

….

My brain tried to process what she said and try to make sense of it, several times. But, it was imposible. It couldn't be computed.

"I'm sorry, I think I heard wrong. Could you repeat it?"

"Like I said, make friends with her, talk to her, flirt with her, date her, and make her fall head over heels."

I still didn't understand why that would solve the problem, and to make matters worse, her explanation was chillingly similar to how Rin explained to me what a date was.

"And why would that solve the problem of spacequakes?"

"If we want a solution for space earthquakes without using force, then we have to persuade the Spirits, right?"

"That seems right."

"For that, wouldn't it be quicker to make the Spirit like this world? 'Oh, this world is wonderful', if they become like this, then not even a Spirit would suddenly make a fuss."

"I see..."

"So, well, isn't it often said? That if you fall in love, then the world is beautiful... So go out with her, and make the Spirit fall in love with you!"

"I still can't find the logic to it. Besides, who would fall in love with someone like me?"

Listening to me, Kotori for some reason seemed angry. "What nonsense are you saying? How can they not fall in love with you, such a handsome and cool boy who is always helping others!?"

"Huh?" I didn't know how to react to that.

After a few seconds, Kotori seemed to process what he had just said, and her face turned as red as her hair.

"L-look what you make me say, stupid brother with low self-esteem! Forget it! What I mean is that you have no choice if you want to save them. Where did your earlier determination go?"

Well, she wasn't wrong, but... why choose someone whose social skills are so poor for this task. It's true that I'm the only one with the best chance of survival, but...

Heh, why am I hesitating? Since when have I cared about the chances of success?

"Okay. I'll do it."

"Very well. Looking at the data, the next time a Spirit shows up will be within a week. We will start training immediately tomorrow."

"Training?" I couldn't help but swallow noisily. It didn't help that Kotori's wicked smile looked like Rin's when she made fun of me or Shirou.

And that's all so far. What did you think? I decided to write this because crossovers between Fate/Stay Nigth and Date a Live that are not abandoned can be counted on one hand, not to say a finger. So I decided to do it myself, referencing Thanos a little.

I've never written about romance, so it's time for King of Fakers to get into those things.

Now as for the chapter, as you may have noticed, what happened to King of Fakers, or now Itsuka Shidou, was the same thing that happened to Emiya Shirou of the Miyuverse. Having a little sister filled the void in his heart. However, the ideals of King of Fakers are so deeply rooted in his being that he did not abandon them. As he said himself, his goal will always be to save everyone.

As for the power scale, this King of Fakers will be a bit of a nerfed because his body is no longer that of a servant. But that will not prevent him from being on the level of the spirits. Besides, the protagonist here will not be so submissive. King of Fakers will get serious if he has to. On the other hand, I will keep the laws of both universes intact, but since this will mostly be written from the perspective of 'Shidou', the terms of Fateverse will be used mostly. From the perspective of the other characters, King of Fakers is an irregularity, like the Spirits.

And as for the description given by King of Fakers of Sandalphon, I know it's not entirely correct. Note that it is a description made after a quick look with structural grasp, before Tohka tried to cut him. I'm still not sure if Sandalphon can be replicated at Unlimited Blade Works. I'm inclined to think so. In Fate's terms, an Angel would be considered a conceptual weapon, and Rho Aias, which is also a conceptual weapon, could be replicated in the reality marble.

Still, prepare for the comic situations that will generate the EX rank density. Those who have read my previous stories will know what I mean. If you think Shidou and Shirou were dense, let me tell you that they're experts at dealing with women compared to King of Fakers.

Finally, I would like to know about your opinion. Any constructive review is welcome, as well as the follows, and motivates me to continue writing.

With this, I bid you farewell for now. Until next time!
