The Holy Grail War.
Although there were unexpected variables, the full-scale war between Red and Black continued.
The war began as the Red faction invaded the Black faction. The Red Servants and Black Servants entered battle, each with their own anxieties.
Darnic, wary of Dumpty to defend the Holy Grail at all costs, and Amakusa, filled with determination to seize the Grail and fulfill his wish.
The battle between the two factions continued...
Soon, the Hanging Gardens appeared in the sky.
"Foolish, it should have been destroyed...!"
The Hanging Gardens had the restriction that Semiramis had to build it herself, with materials all from Assyrian origins, a significant penalty...
But the Semiramis from Chaldea was an absurd Servant without such restrictions.
From the Hanging Gardens that appeared in the sky, Mordred jumped down riding a surfboard.
"Drown together~!!! {Friedewen Tube Riding}(The King's Feel of Taming the Whirling Waves!)~!!!"
Friedewen, a ship and shield, became a surfboard for this Noble Phantasm. As one of King Arthur's treasures, its power was tremendous. With Tamamo's support, it created a massive tidal wave like a great flood in a place without water.
Gwahwahwahwahwahwah~!!!!
The huge tidal wave swept everyone away, and quickly Karna flew up while Achilles took Atalanta on his chariot and flew. Frankenstein and Siegfried, unable to escape in time, were swept away.
"What is that..."
Even Chiron, a divine spirit, found it an immense scale, reminiscent of Poseidon.
Instantly, the area near the Yggdmillennia castle was submerged.
Chabak... chabak...
And walking on that water was Dumpty.
He had his hands in his pockets, looking at the Yggdmillennia castle. Darnic flinched as their eyes met...
"Game over."
As he gestured, bored, a huge explosion occurred from the Greater Grail.
"The grudge of a nine-tailed fox is great, you know?"
Tamamo's magic bullet hit the Greater Grail directly, shattering it and causing a massive explosion.
Instantly, the Holy Grail War was over.
"I thought about attaching Penthesilea to Achilles, but I guess I was too relaxed and time dragged on. At this rate, it might be hard to return in time for Valentine's Day. Fun's over, and I need to head home soon."
With the Greater Grail gone, Servants found it hard to maintain their manifestation. They hadn't vanished yet due to the anchor of having Masters...
"Then~ time for Saint Quartz harvesting."
Thwack!
With his words, Draco and Tamamo moved and killed the Servants. In an instant, Tamamo's hand pierced Karna's stomach, and Draco's sword cut down Siegfried.
"Cruel yet merciful. At least it will end without pain."
Brynhildr, watching this, nodded at the mercy given.
Being killed by Beasts, sent off without pain. A consideration... if it can be called that.
"This should be enough..."
"Aren't you taking the other Servants?"
Jeanne d'Arc asked him...
"I have them all. Thanks to pity pulls, I even have 5-stars with Noble Phantasms at level 5... what a desire sensor. Jack also has her Noble Phantasm at level 5, so I don't need others now."
Jeanne d'Arc, whose manifestation became incomplete with the disappearance of the Greater Grail, asked Dumpty as he returned to the Hanging Gardens, whistling casually.
"So, you're leaving now?"
"Yeah. I roughly left Sieg with some villagers. Planted him as an amnesiac boy with a safety lock, and gave hints to treat him well, so they'll take good care of him."
Dumpty stretched and yawned. Jeanne d'Arc hesitated, looking at him.
"The Black Assassin, is she joining you by being absorbed into her?"
"Hmm... I guess so."
Dumpty showed signs of preparing to leave. And...
Thud...!
"Haa... haa..."
"Master, sorry... this one held onto the board till the end."
Mordred returned, followed by the Red Saber who had clung to her till the end.
"Where is my father!!!"
"Top-tier stubbornness as expected? Truly a mule."
"Hehehe..."
"Shut up! Bring my father!"
Dumpty shook his head, and then Artoria walked over and took Mordred's hand.
"You are not my child."
Enraged, Mordred swung Clarent...
She was hit by Tamamo's wave motion cannon and flew away.
"Ah~ a chance for Noble Phantasm upgrade..."
"Mule, by the way, was at level 4. Forgot about that."
"It's fine~ I have Camelot too, so it doesn't matter~"
Mordred thought nothing of it, and as Dumpty nodded, Tamamo opened a dimensional gate.
"Wait!"
Jeanne d'Arc called out to him...
"Are you just leaving like this...?"
"Hmm? Why wouldn't I? You want to come too?"
"... Is it not allowed?"
"Your body is Laeticia's, and you're an incomplete summon, so Noble Phantasm upgrades are out of the question. And... the person I take with me is Sakura, first and last, in my mind. Unlike Ushigozen, you don't have a story compelling enough to take along."
"So, all this time meant nothing."
"You were hostile, weren't you?"
"..."
"Finally fallen, huh?"
Dumpty said with a chuckle. Jeanne d'Arc reluctantly nodded...
"But you know... having two Jeannes is too much for me to handle. One brainwashed girl is enough. I can't nurture such sprouts. Well, it was short but fun~"
Dumpty waved his hand, and as Tamamo snapped her fingers, Jeanne d'Arc was transferred to Laeticia's home.
Thus, Dumpty's group left...
"... A bad person. A demon-like person..."
Jeanne d'Arc quietly bit her lip, fists trembling, and tears flowing down her cheeks gathered at her chin and fell to the ground.
""Master~!!!""
"Gah!"
Upon returning, Dumpty was crushed by the sincere chocolate from his Servants and fainted. Their love was said to be too heavy.
In a remote temple in the mountains.
A few people were residing in the temple.
"Wow~ surviving by eating grass, I barely made it. I must repay this favor."
"Lend me your strength. Be my bodyguard."
"Hoh? That sounds good. I've been training my sword alone and bored, so it seems I'm caught up in something interesting? So... I'm curious, what is your goal?"
"It's nothing much... there is revenge against the government, but the biggest thing is..."
Thud... thud-thud...
"Revenge against that man. He will surely come here. I am confident of that..."
"Quite the avenger. Different from the Amakusa Shiro I heard about. Conversely, more interesting. You said these are the first summoned Servants~? You all seem to have some circumstances too?"
The nameless farmer asked the other two with the mage.
The silver-haired woman raised her head and met his eyes.
"It's nothing... resentment, attachment... you could call it love-hate. Even if caught up in this, I just want to see him again. Even if it means turning to ashes."
"I see. The Purgatorio Lady from the south seems to long for a certain man?"
"Long for... well. If longing, then yes. Hating the man who deceived me till the end, yet longing for him... proof that I've fallen, I suppose."
"Hmm, women's hearts are indeed difficult~ Then, what about you? Any circumstances? Empirio Lady."
The gold-haired woman called Empirio. She stood up and pointed her sword at him.
"Don't call me that casually, lowly thing..."
"Stop. In swordsmanship alone, I am above you."
"So... what do you intend? As a heroic spirit swordsman, this one can't beat us."
"That may be. But don't spill unnecessary blood. Calm down, Empirio. You agreed to cooperate, didn't you?"
"... Tch."
She sheathed her sword and clicked her tongue. Interested by her killing intent, the nameless one asked her.
"You too seem to have something with that man named Dumpty, what is your purpose?"
"... Kill him. Kill that man who deceived and belittled me. That's all..."
