Although Emiya Shirou had already decided to place his next base of operations on the front lines.
Before the group could even finish their preparations, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash were summoned away by Gilgamesh.
"Have fun following the King. And if you run into anything you can't handle, don't forget to call me."
"Yes, Senpai Shirou."
"Fool. This King is not going there to play."
Listening to Mash's reply and Gilgamesh's sharp rebuke, Emiya Shirou chuckled lightly and waved his hand.
Early that morning, Gilgamesh had appeared at the Chaldea Embassy without warning and assigned a new mission to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.
And this time, he would personally be joining them.
The two of them were surprised that Gilgamesh would suddenly appear and even more surprised that he intended to carry out the mission himself.
But under the King's authority, they could only obediently follow him out.
Watching the three figures depart, Emiya Shirou's lips curved upward.
According to the original trajectory of events, Gilgamesh would meet Kingu today.
Kingu, who possessed Enkidu's body.
Two companions who had once been inseparable, now destined to meet again under circumstances like these.
It was difficult not to feel stirred by it.
"I really want to see what kind of expression Gilgamesh will make when the time comes."
The thought alone was enough to amuse him.
Emiya Shirou, who had long since become someone who lived for amusement, laughed quietly to himself.
"That does sound interesting."
A voice suddenly spoke from nearby.
Emiya Shirou turned his head slightly.
Merlin had appeared from nowhere and was leaning in front of him, eyes bright with curiosity.
"What interesting thing?"
Glancing at the grinning magician, Emiya Shirou replied with some irritation.
"Obviously, the journey those three are about to take. That's going to be very interesting."
"Eh? I think so too. That means I absolutely have to keep an eye on them today."
"Tsk. As expected of you. Peeping Tom."
After saying that, Emiya Shirou turned and started walking away.
"Hey, don't go. Where are you heading?"
Knowing Emiya Shirou had nothing urgent on his schedule, Merlin called after him.
"I still have things to do. I'm not keeping you company, you Peeping Tom."
He waved once without turning back.
Before Merlin could say anything else, Emiya Shirou's figure gradually disappeared from his sight.
...
When Emiya Shirou arrived at the Ziggurat, he immediately saw Siduri in a rare state of panic.
The cause was obvious.
Gilgamesh had skipped work.
"Mr. Emiya, have you seen the King?"
The moment she spotted him, Siduri hurried over and asked urgently.
"You mean King Gilgamesh? He went to the Chaldea Embassy early this morning and took Ritsuka and Mash with him. Said he was going to investigate the water quality of the Persian Gulf."
"The King went personally?"
Siduri froze for a moment.
"And he left the city without any attendants? What if he encounters danger?"
What had been mild nervousness instantly shot past its limit.
"Indeed. The three of them went out just like that, without bringing any subordinates. If the opposing general notices them, Enkidu will likely move to intercept."
Hearing Emiya Shirou say this so casually, Siduri unexpectedly calmed down.
"Enkidu... I see. So that's how it is."
Memories of Gilgamesh and Enkidu surfaced in her mind, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
She understood immediately.
She understood what Gilgamesh was thinking.
"If the King has gone to see Enkidu, then the operations within the city must not falter."
With her thoughts sorted out, Siduri no longer worried about Gilgamesh's departure. She turned her focus back to the mountain of administrative work in front of her.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Emiya. I was indeed too flustered earlier."
"It's nothing. With your ability, you would have figured it out quickly even without my reminder."
Siduri nodded slightly, then asked in a gentler tone.
"Then, may I ask what brings you here this time, Mr. Emiya?"
"I wanted to ask if I could request some more materials. The quality doesn't need to be as high as last time. Inferior ones are fine, and the quantity doesn't need to be too large."
"There's no question about that," Siduri replied without hesitation. "Mr. Emiya has contributed greatly to Uruk. What do a few materials amount to?"
"I'll have someone deliver them to you shortly."
Seeing how straightforward she was, Emiya Shirou smiled.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"Please rest assured."
"Since everything is settled, I won't disturb you any further. Without King Gilgamesh here, your workload must be heavy."
"It's alright. I'm already used to it."
With that, Emiya Shirou left the Ziggurat, feeling quite satisfied.
...
Walking through the streets of Uruk, Emiya Shirou took in the bustling scenery around him.
Every time he walked here, he felt the same sense of disbelief.
Even with death looming overhead, the city remained orderly and vibrant.
The people here were strong.
Truly strong.
"No wonder the younger Gilgamesh would feel disgust toward the people of the future world."
"Even though the future world isn't lacking in people with firm wills, the overall mindset is completely different."
As he admired the prosperity before him, the comparison surfaced naturally.
If the people of the future world were told that the world would be destroyed in half a year, society would likely collapse on the spot.
"Sometimes, having too many people really isn't good news."
Shaking his head lightly, Emiya Shirou continued forward.
His destination was the forging room.
The same place where he had once forged the sword embryo.
Siduri would send the materials there later, and once they arrived, he intended to begin work immediately.
As for what he planned to forge-
It was a suit of armor.
Armor forged specifically for Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Mash was already a warrior.
But Fujimaru Ritsuka, as a Master, should originally have been a Caster.
Now, after receiving the Grace of God, she had completed a class change.
She had become a warrior as well.
And the next place she would head to was the Absolute Demonic Front.
A battlefield that could only be described as a meat grinder.
The average strength of the demonic beasts there hovered around LV.3.
Against enemies like that, even with Mash protecting the front and Merlin and Ana providing support from the sides-
As long as Fujimaru Ritsuka chose to fight, she would be in danger.
Constant danger.
In that situation, a suit of armor capable of protecting her life was critical.
And it wouldn't stop there.
In addition to the armor, Emiya Shirou also planned to forge a long spear for her.
It would be her primary weapon.
As for why he chose a spear-
It was a simple consideration.
With Chaldea's resources, it would be easy to find suitable Heroic Spirits to teach Fujimaru Ritsuka combat techniques.
Among those Emiya Shirou knew, the most suitable instructors were Chiron and Scáthach.
And both of them specialized in spearmanship.
Given that, choosing a long spear as her main weapon was absolutely the right decision.
"Still..."
"There's one regret."
He exhaled softly.
"I didn't think of this earlier."
"All of the best materials have already been used."
"Otherwise, I might have been able to forge a Divine Construct."
The thought lingered.
And with it, a quiet sigh escaped his lips.
