A sudden incident occurred. Tokyo was thrown into chaos by a sudden hotel explosion.
Rider Perseus, who had been living as a student at the academy, also sprang into action upon witnessing the abnormality.
The explosion that suddenly ripped through peaceful Tokyo was accompanied by a powerful shockwave, far too intense for a mere gas leak. It was unmistakably a Servant battle, blatantly flouting the concealment of mysteries.
Perseus quickly used {Kyneë}(Hades' Cap) to turn invisible, even to other spirits, and rushed to investigate the situation.
Crowds gathered around the hotel explosion, swarming with knights and firefighters. Judging that the source wasn't in the hotel, Perseus swiftly scanned the vicinity...
A residual magical energy emanated from a dark, abandoned building. Perseus assumed it was a provocation aimed at spirits... but he could not forgive anyone who disrupted the peace of the world, a peace that Isemi Aro, who had granted him a physical body and died, had cherished.
Steeling his courage, Perseus entered the building quickly. Weak in close combat, he aimed for an assassination. He moved stealthily... when a purple slash came flying at him.
Clang!!!
"...What is this?"
Perseus twisted his body swiftly to dodge. The slash cleaved through the floor, shattering it enough to reveal the level below.
"No matter how well you hide your body, I can still sense your scent."
"To think... I'd meet you in this form."
"Gorgon, no, Medusa. You shouldn't be a Lancer... so are you a Berserker? But that form of yours is clearly divine. The goddess Medusa wouldn't manifest as a Berserker. You're definitely not a Saber... with those Mystic Eyes, you might be an Assassin, or perhaps a Caster. If not, then an Assassin? That might fit best."
"...Normally, I wouldn't care whether you're here or not. You're not even worth my attention. But I only came because my Master told me to vent some steam or something."
"True... we were never on speaking terms to begin with."
Perseus removed Hades' Cap and drew a sickle similar to hers.
Harpe (Chronos' Adamantine Sickle). A treasure given to Perseus by Zeus, and at the same time, the sickle used by the former king of the gods, Chronos... it is the death-dealing sickle said to have slain the primordial king Uranus.
A treasure among treasures, capable of killing immortals.
One of the reasons Perseus is said to have received immense blessings from the gods is precisely because of Harpe, which can even kill deities.
Since it was the sickle that killed her, Medusa, a Lancer and goddess, could wield it even if it wasn't her Noble Phantasm. Wounds inflicted by Harpe cannot be healed; they can only mend naturally.
Perseus gripped Harpe tightly, his hand trembling.
'I have to kill you again...'
Perseus, who felt a certain guilt for killing Medusa—no, Gorgon. A hero called a coward for being too righteous. He steeled his resolve to fulfill his wish of saving his Master and took his stance...
But Medusa no longer held Harpe. What she wielded was impossibly massive, beyond reason.
"...What is that?"
"It's a weapon I purchased from Amazon.com this time. A sword of light? In Greek terms, this counts as a sword, so it should be fine."
Whiiir...!
"No matter how you look at it, that's a gun──"
"It's a Super Nova."
Boom!!!!!!!!!!
Immediately, a railgun as large as Medusa fired a beam, and Perseus quickly brought out another treasure, Aegis, to block it, but the impact sent him flying far away.
An absurdly huge railgun, as if it belonged in some other worldline. Even in the Servant Universe, it was a weapon mounted on spaceships.
"I don't have enough time to spend with my Master and sisters as it is. I don't want to waste it getting involved with you."
Although there was resentment, Medusa, who didn't want to get entangled unnecessarily, used the railgun's teleport function to send it back to her room and calmly exited the building.
And then, Medusa Lily immediately scurried over to Dumpty. Dumpty and his group were in the middle of some casual shopping.
"Ah, you're back? Ana."
"Everyone seems cheerful without me."
"Well... we can't just mope around, can we?"
"..."
"Sorry, want some bread?"
"...Yes. Why did you send me to him?"
"Well, I thought it might be a chance for you to settle any grudges or something with Perseus?"
"I don't even want to get involved. Besides, I prefer being with Master."
"Heh... I didn't know that. I won't do it next time. By the way, should I call your sisters too?"
"Are you talking about my sisters, or the other mes?"
"Both?"
"...Then it'll turn into a mess. Can you call my sisters first?"
"We'll see~ You might not care, but those two probably have a lot to settle with Perseus~"
"You have a nasty personality. But that's part of being Master, I suppose."
Medusa Lily followed along, munching on bread. Nero was excitedly picking out clothes that would suit Heracles at a clothing store, and Jeongmil was choosing clothes for herself.
"No one's picking out clothes for Master."
"For me, the kids make them for me."
"...That's true."
Dumpty had no intention of choosing clothes since he didn't need to buy any. From the start, he had little interest in fashion.
While waiting and eating bread with Medusa Lily... suddenly, someone rushed toward him.
"Found you... Berserker."
"...?"
Dumpty heard the woman's voice calling him and turned to look... before him, Ayaka appeared.
"...Ayaka?"
"Finally found you, Berserker... where's my sister?"
"...So, that's how it is."
Only then did Dumpty realize that he wasn't in a different parallel world, but in the Tokyo worldline from the past. He pondered what to do... looking at the grown-up Ayaka standing before him, he recalled the young Ayaka he had seen before.
"You've grown so much... just like Sakura."
"Huh?"
"Back then, I was looking down at you, but now I have to look up. That doesn't sit well with me."
Tch tch tch...
Immediately, Dumpty restored his small body to his original adult form. Ayaka's eyebrow twitched, seeming slightly flustered, but she scowled and glared up at Dumpty.
"This was possible...?"
"Now I can look down at you like back then, Ayaka. You asked about Manaka, right? ... Manaka isn't here."
"You..."
Just as Dumpty was about to say she was in another world, Ayaka gritted her teeth and glared fiercely. She interpreted "Manaka isn't here" as meaning she was no longer in this world.
Properly angered, Ayaka kicked Dumpty in a fit of rage. Right in the groin.
Thud!
Ayaka had reinforced herself and kicked with all her strength.
"...Ugh."
However, despite being a man, Dumpty suffered no damage thanks to a blessing. And that damage...
"Gah!"
"Ayaka...?"
...was reflected back onto Ayaka.
Ayaka had kicked with full power, enough to shatter a wooden wall. And she received all that damage, all that pain, reflected back. An intense pain surged through her lower body, a agony she had never felt in her life, and Ayaka placed both hands on her groin and collapsed forward.
Thump...!
".Uh, what."
Even as a woman, Ayaka felt the pain of having her balls crushed, and she fainted from the shock.
"Wow... this is a life achievement, huh. Truly, as Manaka's sister, you're extraordinary in many ways..."
"Who is this person, putting on a one-man show?"
"Tch... well."
