107 Holy Grail Girl Victory
"Huh? Since when did Shirou become your person? Me? What exactly do you mean?" Jeanne glared at her unhappily and asked.
"Shirou is the one who used the Holy Spear with me, so he's already destined to be a member of my Round Table Knights!" Artoria said matter-of-factly.
"Just with that? A dining table that can't even seat seven people?" Jeanne mocked.
Artoria ignored the silver-haired girl and turned to the boy.
"Shirou, remember this: when you go back, summon me with your phone! White, blue, green, black—anything except red is fine, as long as you can mark it."
"Huh? Summon? You mean like the summoning in mobile games?" Shirou asked in surprise.
"Yes. Later, I'll come to your world to find you. Though I can't guarantee the time or place of my arrival, as long as your FGO system maintains contact with 'me,' the moment I arrive in that world, I'll immediately come to you," Artoria said with firm determination.
"Wait! What's going on? Cold-hearted woman, you have a way to go to Shirou's world?" Jeanne asked, shocked, stepping closer.
"Hmph, so you really are a country bumpkin. Ever since I obtained this, I just needed a talented mage to help me figure out a way, and I could come to that world," Artoria said proudly, showing a swirling magical energy around her.
"This is the Holy Grail?!!" Jeanne exclaimed.
During the battle against Shinjuku Berserker, Shirou fell after determining the outcome with the black mud Servant.
Artoria sensed Shirou's condition and quickly arrived, just in time to see the Holy Grail left behind after the black mud Servant disappeared.
So, one night, she contacted Da Vinci alone to ask how she could stay with Shirou.
Da Vinci, thinking that Chaldea could have a powerful Servant join them, naturally welcomed the idea with both hands and agreed to strategize for her.
"Wait! I'm going to duel you right now! The loser will call out the Holy Grail!" Jeanne instantly armed herself, drew her sword, and shouted.
"Shirou, look forward to meeting me," Artoria said with a victorious smile, a hint of pride on her face.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Jeanne had reached the time to return. Before she could rush forward, her whole body began to glow and disperse.
"Ah! Damn it! Time's up! Just you wait!" Jeanne angrily looked at Artoria and then turned to the boy. "Shirou! You just wait too!"
Shirou resignedly replied, "Hmm… I feel like we'll meet again soon."
"This premonition is rather unpleasant," Artoria frowned.
"Is that your honest thought?" Shirou asked the blonde girl.
"Well, that naive little fool… if she really comes over someday, I'll graciously take her shopping and let her taste some delicious food," Artoria said with a light laugh.
"Haha, so you still get along well," Shirou nodded, knowing Jeanne indeed had traits that made her endearing.
"Anyway, let's not talk about her. Shirou! You'll take care of Second now, okay? You said you had a way to take it along, right?" Artoria waved at the white dog playing with Gudako and looked at the boy.
"Are you not coming with us?" Shirou asked.
"Well, since I have the Holy Grail, Da Vinci said she would somehow sneak me past and then summon me to Chaldea. So, I'll leave it in your care for now," Artoria said, nodding.
"All right, Cavall II, come home with me! I can't give you a title, but I can guarantee three meals a day and walks," Shirou crouched down and patted the white dog.
"Woof!" The dog responded, affectionately licking the boy's hand.
"So, are you ready to return?" Da Vinci asked from Chaldea.
"Ready!" Gudako replied.
"All right, let's head back too!" Shirou said with a smile.
The boy projected one of Parthius' Noble Phantasms, the bag for holding monsters, Kibisis. This Noble Phantasm can, to some extent, exchange spatial locations. As long as Cavall II is put inside, transferring through the spiritual particle system should theoretically pose no problem.
"All right! Shirou-senpai, Gudako-senpai, get ready. Begin particle transfer!" Mash said.
A flash of light, and Shirou and Gudako left the Shinjuku world. Following this passage, Artoria came along and arrived at Chaldea.
Thanks to the efforts of the boy and the girls, this world was saved.
For unknown reasons, Shinjuku miraculously reconnected with the original world. Those extraordinary things—magic, hornets, beasts, dolls, high black walls—are destined to completely disappear from this place someday. How much of the creatures and objects can remain is unknown to these young heroes.
Passing through the vortex of time and space, Shirou and Gudako finally returned to Chaldea, stepping out of the transfer device.
"Welcome back! Gudako-senpai! Shirou-senpai!" Mash was already standing outside, waiting for them.
"Good work, Gudako, Shirou," a man with a pipe greeted. Holmes, merged with Moriarty, had already returned to Chaldea ahead of them.
"Ah! Holmes, you're okay, that's great!" Gudako said happily.
"Well, I did lose this time, but I returned to investigate something. Because my injury is severe, I'll temporarily be an armchair detective here," the man said self-deprecatingly.
"Good work! Gudako, you go take a hot bath and rest properly," Da Vinci instructed.
"All right… everyone, good night, and goodbye, Shirou-senpai," Gudako, exhausted, waved at the boy.
"Yes, good night, Gudako-senpai," Mash said with a smile.
But Gudako grabbed the pink-haired girl's hand and said with a friendly smile, "What are you talking about, Mash? Tonight, you're staying with me!"
"Eh eh?" Mash, holding her flushed face in both hands, was dragged inside the dorm.
