News about the King of Heroes' defeat were spread throughout of Chaldea.

All of Chaldea's servants who weren't there to witness the battle between Emiya Shirou and Archer Gilgamesh were surprised when news of this were spread.

Not to mention the fact that there were somehow even images of the fight earlier.

And the fact that EA was actually defeated by his sword.

Because of this, Chaldea was having a field day. Some servants were talking about the fight between the two while some servants were writing stories about it or recording it for future generations in Chaldea. And some servants were drawing the fight as well.

However, it also had an unexpected effect.

And here are a few examples that Emiya Shirou was about to find out soon...


Shirou yawned as he woke up in his room. As he got out from the bed, he folded the sheets up and grabbed his katana that was hanging on the floor.

He then proceeded to leave his room...

Only to receive a line of servants in front of him at the front door of his room.

As he looked at the line of servants, he saw some servants he was familiar with. For example, he saw Cu and his counterparts and Scathach and her counterpart. Alongside them were other servants he didn't recognize.

"Um...can I help all of you?" Shirou asked.

All the servants in the line took a deep breath before yelling, "Please fight me, Emiya Shirou!"

Shirou was baffled with what he just heard. "W-Why?"

Lancer Cu had a grin on his face. "What? You didn't hear? Everyone in Chaldea is literally going crazy over the fight between you and the King of Heroes!"

"Yeah! It's what everyone has been talking about lately! Especially about you!" Proto Cu said.

"Really?" Shirou asked.

"Yeah! When we first heard it from our Lancer counterpart, we were surprised from what you did to that arrogant king!" Caster Cu said in excitement.

"Yeah. Not only you actually beat his noble phantasm, but you cut his arm off. That's quite impressive," Cu Alter said.

"Yeah. Even by my standards," Scathach said.

"True. After hearing from our student and his counterparts talking about how you utterly beaten the king of heroes and completely taught his arrogant ego a lesson, we wanted to have a chance fighting you again. Especially after we found out that you were possess a noble phantasm that was able to outrank EA and kill gods. It intrigues me and my counterpart as how come we have never heard of it before," Scathach Skadi said.

"I-I see...so everyone else here..."

"Is here because they all heard of your victory over the King of Heroes and want to fight you. Especially since some of them here have a grudge against him."

Shirou was surprised. "Really? There are some servants here who have a grudge against him?"

Lancer Cu laughed at Shirou's statement. "Some? Kid, you have no idea how many servants here has a grudge against him."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah..." Cu Alter said.

"I-I see. So, every servant here in the line has a grudge against him?"

"Nah. Some of them here are just interested," Proto Cu said.

"Anyways, you want to fight them?" Caster Cu said.

"And let me guess, I can't say no?"

"Are you kidding. After seeing this line of people, can you say no?"

Shirou sighed. "Well...there shouldn't be any harm in fighting them...so yes, I guess," he said.

Lancer Cu grinned. "Great! Now let's go to the training room so we can do the introductions!"

Lancer Cu then grabbed Shirou's hand and dragged him to the training room followed up by the line of people following them. As they arrived, Lancer then let Shirou go of his hand and allowed him to catch some air.

Eventually, Shirou got on the training arena. "Wonder who's going to be my opponent?"

As he thought of that, his got his answer as a servant came up to the arena. The servant was a remarkably handsome man with quirky long hair combed backward in a rough fashion that has a strand hanging down his face. He was wearing a dark teal outfit, similar to that of Cú's, but it didn't look like his blue tights.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Emiya Shirou."

"And you are?"

"I am Diarmuid O'Dyna, first spear of the knights of Fianna," Diarmuid said as he readied his two spears. "Emiya Shirou, let's have a fair and honorable match!"

Shirou then unsheathed his katana. "As you wish."

"Well then...here I come!"

In an instant, Diarmuid charged at Shirou with Gáe Dearg and Gáe Buidhe in his hands. He then thrusted Gáe Dearg at Shirou, but he dodged it towards the side and was about to swing his sword at him. However, Diarmuid blocked his strike.

"Tch!" Diarmuid said as he brought some distance between him and Shirou. Shirou lunges at him with his sword, ready to strike him. However, he intercepted the strike with Gáe Buidhe and saw an opening. He then takes advantage of the short distance between him and Shirou to attack with Gáe Dearg.

However, that opening was a trap.

Shirou blocked the spear and deflected it, hoping to land a hit on Diarmuid's shoulder. However, Diarmuid moved his body and brought some distance between him and Shirou.

Diarmuid was confused. While he has heard of this fighting from Cu and his counterparts, going up against it in real life was harder than it said. "What is up with his fighting style? From what I heard from Cu and his alternate counterparts; his fighting style requires him to be completely open. However, after what happened earlier, I couldn't even get a hit on him." he thought.

Diarmuid then twirled Gáe Dearg and put himself in a defensive stance. Shirou then lunged towards him and was about to strike him with his sword, but Diarmuid proceeded to block him. However, it was then that Shirou then proceeded to assault him with a flurry of strikes from his sword.

"Whoa!" Diarumid thought as he took on each strike coming from Shirou using his spears to block them. As he kept blocking them, he then kicked Shirou to get some distance between themselves.

For a moment, both servants were breathing to catch some air from the clash earlier. As they were breathing in some air, Diarumid said, "Wow. Cu was right about you."

"About what?" Shirou asked.

"That you are an honorable warrior."

Shirou smiled. "Why thank you."

"Yeah. And considering who your father is, I'm surprised that you're nothing like him."

Shirou was surprised. "You knew my father?"

"Yeah. I met him during the fourth Fuyuki Holy Grail War. We were enemies at the time. Along with the King of Heroes."

"I see..." Shirou said as he readied himself into a defensive position. "Do you have any hard feelings of resentment against me because of my father?"

"No. I only have hard feelings of resentment against him only. Not to you since our earlier clashes proved that you are not a coward like him."

"I see...do you want to continue this match?"

Diarmuid smiled. "With pleasure."

"Then...here I come!" Shirou said as he lunged at Diarmuid while Diarmuid did the same with Gáe Dearg and Gáe Buidhe. Soon, the two were in a dance of strikes, slashes, and parries. As the dance continued, both servants were getting tired of the fighting and they retreated to their sides of the arena.

"Emiya Shirou...he's a worthy opponent...and unlike his father, he goes headfirst into the fight without any fears nor hesitation..."

"Diarmuid O'Dyna...he said he knew my father along with the King of Heroes...that means he probably knows Arturia too...wonder what happened between him and my dad that made him have a grudge against him..."

As both sides were tired of the match, they had one thought in mind.

"I need to end this soon...!"

As if both sides knew what was going on with their minds, both of them posed themselves into a final strike against each other.

"Heh. Guess we both have the same thought in mind," Diarumid said with a chuckle.

Shirou chucked as well. "Looks like it."

"Then...this is the last attack! I hope you are prepared, Emiya Shirou!"

"Yeah!"

Both servants then charged towards each other. In an instant, they clashed with each other, with them ending on opposite sides.

For a moment, nothing happened.

Then Diarmuid relaxed himself and let out a grin. "You are a worthy opponent, Emiya Shirou."

Shirou smiled. "Is that so?"

"Yeah. Cu was right about you."

"I see. I enjoyed this match too Diarmuid."

Diarmuid then laughed and brought out his hand for a handshake. "Likewise, Emiya Shirou."

Shirou then brought out his own hand and did the handshake with Diarmuid.

"Hey kid! I don't mind you and Diarmuid doing a handshake, but can you hurry up? You got other people to fight you know!" Lancer Cu said.

Shirou and Diarmuid stopped their handshake and turned around to see Cu and his counterparts, Scathach and her counterpart, and the other servants waiting for their turn.

"Oh...looks like I need to go now. Goodbye Emiya Shirou."

"Yeah. Goodbye Diarmuid O'Dyna."

Diarmuid then got off the arena and said, "Good luck fighting everyone else!" before he left the training room.

Shirou sighed. "I'm going to need a lot more than good luck here..."


Shirou took a deep breath after walking in Chaldea's hallway. After many battles between himself, Cu and his counterparts, Scathach and her counterpart, and the servants that were in the line, he finally got himself a break.

Or so as he thought...

"Mommy!"

Shirou heard the voice and turned around to see Jack running towards him. "Jack?"

Jack then gave Shirou a hug. "Mommy?"

Shirou was confused. "Why are you calling me mommy?"

Jack looked at Shirou. "You don't like it?"

"No. Just confused."

"Oh. Well, we call you mommy because of your nice hospitality during the tea party."

"I-I see...so what do you want from me Jack?" Shirou asked.

Jack then pointed at the katana Shirou was carrying. "I want some new knives."

"New knives?"

"Yes?"

"What about your old ones? Aren't they good?"

"They are good, but we want to try some of your swords. Especially after what happened when you used them against goldie earlier."

"Goldie? Ah, she must be referring to Archer Gilgamesh."

"Anyways, can we have some new knives mommy?"

"Well...sure. As long as you don't abuse them."

Jack smiled. "Yay! Thanks mommy!"

"No problem," he said. Shirou then traced a copy of Kanshou and Bakuya for Jack to use. "Here you go."

Jack smiled. "Thanks mommy!" She then left the hallway.

Shirou then continued walking down the hallway, minding his own business. As he was walking, servants that he kept passing by were congratulating and complementing him on his victory against Archer Gilgamesh. Some were even asking questions on how he did it of what kind of skills does he have.

Shirou sighed at the attention that he was being received. "Jeez. And I thought being known as the fake school janitor at Homurahara Academy was one thing, but this? I know I should be used to this by now...but for some reason, I can't. Maybe working in the kitchen may calm my nerves a bit."

However, before he can do that, he felt a hand grabbing onto his arm. He had no time to react.

"What the?!"

In an instant, he was suddenly dragged into a room that was coincidently next to him. Shirou then ended up in a room where everything was black. "What is this room? And who dragged me here?"

However, he got his answer as the room lit up. As Shirou covered his eyes to adjust them, what he saw completely baffled him. Inside the room was a multitude of servants who were wearing Japanese clothing of all eras sitting in seiza form. In front of all of them were a kaiseki(multi-course) meal on tables. He saw Okita and her alter, Musashi, Osakabehime, and Sasaki who gave him a wave with a smile.

Shirou then turned around to see the person who dragged him here. The person who carried him was a woman who was shorter than him and had black hair and red eyes. She was wearing a military uniform that looked like it came from the Meiji Era.

"Uhm...who are you, and why have you dragged me here?" Shirou asked.

The woman let out a huge grin. "Glad you asked Emiya Shirou, my name is Oda Nobunaga! The Devil King of the Sixth Heaven! The King of Innovation!"

"And the Big Fool of Owari..." Okita said.

"Okita!" Nobunaga yelled.

Shirou was surprised to hear this "Oda Nobunaga?! The person who dragged me here earlier is Oda Nobunaga?! The Devil King of the Sixth Heaven?! That's her?! I swear, do historians tend to get famous people's genders mixed up?! And why did she drag me here with all of those servants?!"

"Hm? What's wrong Emiya Shirou! Are you shy in front of these people?" Nobunaga exclaimed proudly.

"Well it's not that...I'm just confused about why I am here in the first place," Shirou replied.

Nobunaga grinned. "Well sit down and we'll tell you!"

Shirou then sat down at an empty seat where there was a empty cushion seat and a table of a kaiseki meal on it. Nobunaga did the same as well.

"Okay. Will someone tell me what's going on here?"

Musashi then spoke up. "Shirou-kun, this is a party to welcome you!" she said excitedly.

Shirou was confused. "Welcome me? For what?"

"Isn't it obvious? To officially welcome you as a fellow Japanese servant! Especially after what you did to that arrogant king! We were in awe because of that!" Nobunaga said joyfully as she slapped Shirou on the back.

Shirou coughed a bit after the slap. "You have a grudge against him too?"

"Nah. I just don't like how he acts around here. Especially with that arrogance of his. And it was pissing me off."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah! However, after hearing what you did to that arrogant king, I've never felt so satisfied before! Especially since what Musashi, Okita, her alter, and Sasaki told us about what your ancestor who happened to be Sengo Muramasa said to him!" Nobunaga said with a laugh. "Man! I wish I could have been there to see that!"

"I-I see..." Shirou said nervously.

"Anyways, introduce yourself to everyone here Emiya Shirou!"

Shirou turned around to see all the servants looking at him with curiosity. For a few seconds, he didn't say anything and took a few breaths to compose himself.

Then he did his introduction.

"My name is Emiya Shirou, the pseudo-servant vessel to Sengo Muramasa, the demonic blacksmith, who happened to be just as Oda Nobunaga said earlier, my ancestor. I hope we can get along with each other in Chaldea," he said as he bowed.

For a moment, nothing happened.

Then the servants in the room started introducing themselves to him.

"My name is Ushiwakamaru, Shirou-dono!"

"I know we've already met, but I haven't told you my name yet. My name is Sasaki Kojiro."

"Golden! My name is Sakata Kintoki!"

"My name is Kiyohime."

"My name is Tamamo no Mae! And the person next to me is a part of me, Tamamo cat!"

"Nice to meet you!" Tamamo cat said.

"...Ryougi Shiki..."

"Oya? My name is Shuten Doji..."

"Ara ara...my name is Minamoto no Raikou."

"Ibaraki Doji is my name!"

"We already met, but I'm going to say it anyways! My name is Miyamoto Musashi!"

"My name is Hijikata Toshizou."

"We've already met but let me introduce myself once again. My name is Okita Souji."

"I'm Okita Souji Alter...as you already know Shirou-san..."

"My name is Suzuka Gozen."

"My name is Tomoe Gozen."

"My name is Mochizuki Chiyome..."

"W-We've already met. M-My name is Osakabehime..."

"My name is Okada Izo! Master swordsman and manslayer!"

"My name is Sakamoto Ryoma kid. And the girl over here is my partner, Oryou. Say hello to the kid."

"Hello..."

"It's good seeing you again Emiya Shirou," Beni-enma said.

"My name is Murasaki Shiburu. It's a pleasure meeting you."

"My name is Nagao Kagetora."

"My name is Katsushika Hokusai."

"My name is Sei Shonagon!"

"My name is Kijyo Koyo..."

Oda Nobunaga smiled. "And as mentioned earlier, my name is Oda Nobunaga! It's a pleasure meeting you here!"

Shirou was surprised at the number of Japanese servants in the room. "Wow. I'm seeing nearly all the historical figures of Japan here...although they all look different from what the books tell us...especially Oda Nobunaga..."

"Shirou? What's wrong? You getting cold feet?"

"It's not that. I'm just surprised to see this many historical figures in one room."

"I see. Are you nervous?"

"Well no. Honestly, I've seen so much stuff that this doesn't faze me."

"Well there's no problem then! Now then, let's get the party started!" Nobunaga exclaimed excitedly.

Soon, the party started with a bang. Despite being confused at first, Shirou enjoyed the party the Japanese servants were hosting for him. Everyone was eating, drinking, and partying with one another while chatting with one each other.

As Shirou was eating the food that was placed on his table, he thought, "This tastes good!" "Excuse me, who made this food?"

"I did!" Tamamo no Mae said. "Is there a problem with that?"

"Nope. It's actually pretty good. You did a good job cooking these dishes."

Tamamo no Mae's face brighten up upon hearing Shirou saying those words. "Thank you Shirou! It's a pleasure to hear those words from one of Beni-enma's rivals!"

It was then that Osakabehime came up to Shirou.

"Um...Shirou-san?"

"Hm? What is it Osakabehime?"

"Um...if you don't mind...would you please sign this for me?!" she exclaimed as she brought out a portrait of Shirou she made earlier.

Shirou was confused. "Why?"

"Well, after hearing about your victory against the King of Heroes, you gave me a bunch of ideas to draw. And for that, I thank you."

"I-I see..."

"Y-Yeah. So...can you please sign this?"

Shirou took a look at it and said, "Well...there's no harm doing this, so yes."

"Really?! You will?!"

"Yeah. Do you have a pen or something?"

"Y-Yeah!" she said as she brought out a pen out of her pocket. Shirou then grabbed the pen and signed it. He then gave the signed portrait back to her. "Thank you!" she exclaimed as she went back to her seat.

Shirou smiled as he went back to eating the food. "Speaking of which, where's are my counterparts? Did Okita or Musashi told you about them?" he asked Nobunaga.

"Well she did. We did invite them, but they said they were not interested and had something else to do," Nobunaga replied.

"Figures..." Shirou thought as he resumed eating his food. As he was doing so, Hijikata came up to him holding something in his hands. "Hm?"

"Emiya Shirou-dono, as a gift for you, I have brought you a gift."

"Really? What is it?"

"Just open it and see."

Shirou then grabbed the gift from Hijikata's hands and opened it up. As he did, what he saw surprised him.

It was a Shinsengumi outfit.

"T-This is?! A Shinsengumi outfit?! Is Hijikata Toshizou trying to make me a member of the Shinsengumi?!"

"Well? Do you like it?"

"Well...I am fascinated by it, but why are you giving me this?"

Hijikata Toshizou smiled. "Because as of today, you are now an honorary member of the Shinsengumi."

Shirou was baffled. "Huh?!"

"You heard me. As of today, you are an honorary member of the Shinsengumi."

"Eh?! What for?!"

"For helping master out. Is there any other reason?"

Okita sighed. "Sorry Shirou-san, he's just like this sometimes. Please don't take it seriously."

"I-I see. Anyways, thanks for the gift Hijikata-san."

"No problem," he said as he returned to this table.

At the same time, Izo went up to Shirou and asked him, "Is it true that Sengo Muramasa is your ancestor?"

"Yeah."

"Then the blade your carrying right now is a Muramasa blade, right?"

Musashi's eyes lit up. "Yes! The katana Shirou-kun is carrying right now is the same Muramasa blade that cut through the King of Heroes' arm! And a reality marble too!"

"Is that so..." Izo said as he looked at Shirou with interest.

"W-What?"

Izo grinned. "Emiya Shirou, I challenge you to a duel!"

Shirou was baffled again. "Huh?!"

"You heard me! I challenge you to a duel!"

"Hey! No fair! I want to do that first!" Musashi said.

"Sorry, but even if you may be Musashi, dueling with a person that managed to defeat the King of Heroes is something I wish for! Furthermore, he's carrying a Muramasa blade!"

"No fair, I want to do that," Okita Alter said.

"As do I," Hijikata said.

"Me too," Raikou said.

"So do I," Sasaki said.

"Hey! I want to fight him!" Kintoki said.

"So do I. I've heard that the weapon that Shirou uses can also kill gods. It interests me..." Ryougi said.

"Yeah. I wonder what it's like to fight against that," Ryoma said.

"As a fellow warrior, I want to fight him too!" Nagao said.

"Me too!" Tomoe said.

"Calm down all of you!" Okita said.

Soon, the servants that wanted to fight Emiya Shirou began to fight among each other while the other servants watched in amusement.

Especially Murasaki and Osakabehime in which they were thinking of ideas from this.

"Hahahahahaha! What a lively bunch, aren't they Emiya Shirou!" Nobunaga said.

"Yeah..." Shirou said.

And the party continued...


Shirou was walking towards his room after the party he had with the others was over. "Man. That party was crazy. Never knew that Oryou was a part of Sakamoto Ryoma's noble phantasm...speaking of which, I'm starting to think that I'm becoming the punching bag of Chaldea in which people wants to fight me..." he thought as he was walking while carrying the gift Hijikata gave him earlier.

Eventually, he was almost at his room. However, there was one person he did not expect to cross paths with.

It was Zhuge Liang, who looked like Waver Velvet.

"Waver-sensei?" Shirou asked.

Waver went up to Shirou and asked, "Shirou, is it true that you actually defeated the King of Heroes?"

"Y-Yeah. What about it?"

Waver then did something that no one have ever seen before.

He gave Shirou a pat on the shoulder. Even Shirou was surprised by Waver's sudden action. "W-What?"

"Thank you."

"W-What for?"

"For getting revenge for my servant, even if you don't know what I'm talking about." He then walked away.

Shirou had one thought in mind. "Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!"
