"…Baking sweets, does that count as tool creation…?"
Remodeling King
"""""The Mushussu are coming—!!!"""""
In the simulation, on the Mesopotamian plains, staff members desperately sprinted from a swarm of towering venomous dragons.
"Hahahahaha! Run, run! These dragons wield lethal stingers! Best case, you die of shock; worst case, you writhe in agony! Anaerobic exercise… or was it aerobic? No matter! Dash, dash!"
Gilgamesh, piloting the Gilgil-Machine, barked encouragement at the fleeing staff.
"Can't you go easy, Your Majesty!? A dash medley out of nowhere!?"
"I am going easy! Would you prefer Bashmu!?"
"Still dragons, aren't they—!!"
"No complaints! This is tough love! I'll forge your idol-obsessed souls into something respectable!"
"I won't yield! No matter what, I'll never let go of my love for Magi☆Mari—!!"
"Well roared! Then die nobly—!! By the way, dropouts' PC files will be exposed—!!"
"Gah, everyone, fight—!! Protect our privacy—!!"
"""""WOOOAAAHH—!!"""""
With renewed vigor, the staff dashed from the Mushussu.
Then, a voice echoed in his mind.
'Gil, I've finished collecting everyone's requests!'
The Master's telepathic message.
She was tasked with compiling the Servants' requests—specifically, for their My Rooms.
"Well done, Master! You've spared me the trouble!"
He veered off, exiting the simulation.
"I'm stepping out! Survive, you lot—!!"
"Of course! We'll protect our secret image files—!!"
"""""WOOOAAAHH!!"""""
Fight on, everyone.
The scene shifted to the My Room.
"Requests keep pouring in. That's how surveys work—pile up enough, and they're a chore. Quite the hassle."
Gilgamesh flipped through a thick stack of request papers.
"You're really doing this? They're pretty… out there," the Master said, concerned.
He snorted.
"Of course. Since I invited them to my Chaldea, I won't tolerate coffin-like My Rooms. I'll remodel them thoroughly."
I, too, want to honor the heroes who answered my summons. It's only fitting.
"Listen to their wishes, fulfill them. They'll witness the overwhelming might of my wealth! The true value of my Gorgeous self!"
"The real reason?"
"—It's fun for me! Hahaha, isn't it time I proclaimed myself the Remodeling King!?"
That's what it comes down to.
He fulfills others' wishes because it brings him joy.
I just want them to live better lives, that's all.
When the vessel laughs so gleefully, it lifts my spirits too—a secret.
"Let's begin! It's a long list, so I'll highlight the best parts! No complaints—these are numerous!"
"Let's go!!"
France Team: Glass Palace
"Thank you, Gorgeous-sama! The finest palace I've ever seen!"
"Man, you're as wild as ever. How about a song?"
"Not now. Too many requests. Enjoy it!"
"My white lily's blessing to you, Heroic King."
"I'll accept it!"
Suzuka Gozen: Trendy JK Room
"Major thanks, Gil! You're, like, mega bougie! Wanna get your nails done?"
"No need! Your cosmic lingo is incomprehensible!"
"It's not cosmic, it's gal lingo!"
"Is 'Giroppong for goof, Zagin for sushi' gal talk too?"
"That's, like, ancient history!"
Nero Bride: Nuptiae
"A church, right? A church is fine?"
"Of course! Someday, I'll walk the aisle with Master… Bless us, alright?"
"—Reaching for an unreachable ideal, eh? I'll at least toss in a wedding gift."
"You're a good guy, Goldie~! I'm thrilled!"
"Stay back! I only love Saber!"
Siegfried: Sorry
"What's this 'sorry' nonsense!? What's your request?"
"I couldn't think of anything… Neutral is fine…"
"Greedless fool! Don't confuse me!"
"Sorry…"
Heroine X: Universe Room
"As written on the request. Nice patron, Cosmo Gilgamesh."
"Next."
"Hold on! A rare chat with a rare Altria! What's with the cold shoulder!?"
"Next."
"Running from reality, Goldie—!!"
Arash: Food Stall
"Sorry for the trouble."
"A shack like this is enough, hero?"
"It's perfect. Simple vibes are best. Beer?"
"Ale? …Or something else? Whatever, fine."
Atalanta: Grassland and House
"…Separate from those two kids' rooms, right?"
"Naturally."
"Maybe… invite them sometimes?"
"Do as you like. With consent."
Robin Hood: Forest Hideout
"Fitting for a rat. Skulk away."
"Hey, even a rat gets this much attention."
"I'll set rat traps at the entrance."
"Can you not!?"
Karna: Small Hut
"My thanks, Heroic King."
"What, always giving and no wants? Paragon of poverty."
"No. This is enough. Thank you."
"If you're fine with it, so am I. Don't complain later."
"Right."
Leonidas: Office
"My gratitude! This will boost meat! And calculations!!"
"Don't break the machines. Can you type?"
"Of course! I'm fired up—!! Time to install software…"
"Get to it. Next!"
Cu Chulainn: Doghouse
"Are you kidding me!?"
"Haha, not to your taste? Need iron bars instead?"
"That's not the issue!!"
"Relax. You'll like it once inside. You're always in simulations anyway—this is fine. There's kibble too."
"You're dead meat—!!"
Martha, Jeanne, Kintoki: Hallelujah Association Gym
"Praise God and stay fit! Prayer is training! Let's deliver our prayers!"
"…Prayer and hallelujah aren't about punching… How did this happen!?"
"Yo, keep our rooms separate, King! I'm begging ya!"
"Use a room in the association."
"King—!!"
Medusa: Shapeless Island
"…Thank you, Heroic King."
"It's just a projection. Someday, reminisce with your sisters."
"—Yes."
Nursery, Jack: Mansion
"Perfect for tea parties!"
"This is… home?"
"Invite the Master and play. I might drop by if I feel like it."
"Yay! Thanks, King!"
"Shall we have tea?"
"Sorry, I've got work."
Medea: Workshop
"No need for my touch. Here, I brought your meat dumpling."
"⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛"
"Stop with the baseless harassment!?"
"Get along. You're from the same land."
EMIYA (Assassin): Private Room
"This is enough for me. I'll take the sentiment."
"…Hmph. Dull man."
"Agreed."
Hassan: Simple Western Room
"This suits me. As a Child of the Mountain, I shun excess luxury."
"Sandworm-like modesty. I wouldn't last a day."
"—Even a shadow-dweller is heard. My thanks, Heroic King. Forgive my summoning outburst."
"I don't care about a bug's buzzing, fool."
Hijikata: Shinsengumi Barracks
"You went out of your way. Generous."
"You boasted about the Shinsengumi. Make this your den."
"My thanks."
"Oh, Okita requested a haiku-writing room, so I added it."
"—I'll gut her later."
Kiyohime: Samurai Manor
"Thank you. Um, about sharing a room with Master…"
"Submit consent papers. Otherwise, no."
"That's…"
"No fakes either."
Jeanne Alter: Master's My Room
"Why!? Hey, why!?"
"Haha, who else do you have but Master? (lol)"
"Yo, Jeanne Alter!"
"Don't mess with me—!! Ugh, too strong… let go—!!"
"All requests fulfilled, more or less…"
The vessel staggered back to his My Room.
"Got a bit carried away… I worked hard, didn't I…"
Opening the door—
"Well done, Heroic King."
"Don't overwork yourself, okay? You hate dying from exhaustion, right?"
Olgamally and Roman greeted him, seated.
"Here, my secret stash of manju."
"And my homemade cookies."
"…At least gild them with gold foil, fools…"
A day of labor brought the king a moment of peace.
Well done, Heroic King.
