Ritsuka looked at the summoning alter in front of him. As he did, memories of the past came back to him. "Well, today's is my usual monthly summoning. I wonder what I will summon today. And hopefully, it will be a bit better unlike what happened last month. All those mapo tofu craft essences...ugh, even thinking about the words make me sick. It's a wonder how Hakuno is able to eat so much mapo tofu, and even a bigger wonder that Hakuno actually shoved a plate of mapo tofu into Gilgamesh's mouth..."

Ritsuka then placed the saved-up saint quartz onto the alter. "Anyways, let's see what I got..."

Soon, the alter lit up as the saint quartz disappeared, which then multiple blue orbs appeared. Then the blue orbs started to connect with each other and turned into a ring of blue sparks swirling around. Then the ring split into three and continued to swirl around. As the light faded, it revealed a gold card showing a woman who was carrying the scales of justice in one hand while a staff in the other hand. The card then disappeared as in its place revealed a teenage girl. The teenage girl has long silver hair, golden eyes, and was wearing a white dress. She was also carrying a bazooka that was colored in red, white, black, and has some heart designs on the side as well.

"Servant Ruler. The divine spirit amor, Caren C Hortensia, has arrived answering your summons. Fufu. So, this is the rumored Chaldea. It's quite wonderful it's so lively. Whether I'm fit or not for the preaching of love… Look forward to it," Caren said with a smile on her face.

For a moment, Ritsuka was speechless for a moment before continuing the conversation. "Y-Yeah. Nice to meet you, Caren. My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"Fujimaru Ritsuka huh? Well then, I guess that makes you my master then huh?"

"Yeah. Although how do you know what Chaldea is? From what I know, Chaldea's existence is not known outside of the magus world."

"Yeah. About that...that is a secret for me to know, and for you to find out," she said with a horrifying giggle in the end.

Ritsuka nearly shrugged at the giggle she was giving. "A-Anyways, do you want me to give you a tour of Chaldea?"

"Yeah. I don't mind. And plus, since this is going to be where I'm going to live for now on, I might as well need a layout of the place here."

"I see. Anyways, let's go then."

However, it was then that Caren raised her hand and stopped Ritsuka from moving, confusing Ritsuka. "Um...Caren, what are you doing?"

"Oh yeah. I forgot to mention this but pay up."

Ritsuka was even more confused. "What?"

"You heard me. Since you are my master, you need to pay up for the fees upon summoning me."

At that moment, Ritsuka was shocked at what Caren said. "Huh?! I have to pay you?!"

"Yeah. Let's see here...summoning me costs about...200,000 yen."

Ritsuka's mouth dropped at her words. "WHAT?! 200,000 YEN?! I CAN'T PAY THAT MUCH! I DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT MUCH IN MY BANK ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW!"

Caren then let out a chuckle. "Relax. That was a joke."

Upon hearing that, Ritsuka felt relieved. "Really?! That was your idea of a joke?!" he asked with a sigh.

"Yes. And seeing your reaction was worth it. I've never seen such a reaction like that before..." Caren said as she started to giggle creepily shortly. "Anyways, let's move on, shall we?"

"Y-Yes."

Soon, Ritsuka and Caren left the summoning room and headed down the hallway so Ritsuka could give Caren the tour...

"Over there is the training room where servants go over there to hone their skills while learning some new ones as well," Ritsuka said as he was pointing at one of the rooms in the hallway.

"I see. And what's that room over there?" Caren asked as she pointed at a room in the hallway, making Ritsuka look at the direction she was pointing at.

"Hm? Oh, that room? That room is one of the recreational rooms we have here in Chaldea. Over there is where the servants take a break, relax, and do the activities that they like."

Caren nodded and then asked a question. "By any chance, does Chaldea have a library?"

"Yes. We have a library here where books about everything are stored in there. We also have a cafeteria, mini mall, and a casino."

"I see...is there a church here by the way?"

"Hm? Ah, sorry, but we don't have a church here. However, we do have servants that are related to Christianity by the way. Why though?"

"Well, I'm a nun of a church, so I was wondering if Chaldea has a church that needs my services."

"I see..."

As Ritsuka and Caren were walking down the hallway, it was then that they encountered Lancer Cú, who greeted the two with a grin on his face.

"Hey there master! Who's the little miss over there?" Cú asked.

"Cú, this is Caren C Hortensia, a new ruler class servant that just arrived here today. Caren, this is
Cú Chulainn, one of the servants here in Chaldea."

"Hey there little miss," Cú greeted with a smile on her face.

However, Caren stared at Cú silently while glancing at him for a few seconds, confusing both Ritsuka and Cú.

"Um...is there something wrong with me little miss...?" Cú asked.

Caren then pointed her finger at Cú. "You smell doggy. I suggest you take a bath."

In an instant, Cú got mad upon hearing Caren's words. "Hey! I don't smell you little girl!"

"Don't talk back at me," Caren said as she slapped Cú with her hand.

"Why you-!" Cú said as he recovered from the slap...only to receive a bazooka in front of his face. "Whoa! Time out!"

"Yeah! Let's calm down here!" Ritsuka said as he was trying to prevent the two from causing any destruction in Chaldea.

For a moment, Caren didn't do anything and stayed silent. Then she brought back the bazooka. "Fine," she said as he hoisted it on her back.

Ritsuka let out a sigh of relief as the danger was over. "Now then, shall we continue the tour?"

"I guess. Let's go then."

Soon, Ritsuka and Caren headed out, leaving Cú behind.

"Whoa...whoever that little miss was...she's scary. Maybe even more scary than shishou, her counterpart, or Medb...speaking of which, she felt familiar to someone...but who?"

Kid Gilgamesh was walking in the hallway, minding his own business. As he did, he then came across Ritsuka and Caren.

"Hey there master," Kid Gilgamesh said.

"Ah. Hey there kid Gilgamesh," Ritsuka replied with a smile on his face.

"Master. Who is that person?" Kid Gilgamesh asked as he noticed Caren.

"Ah. This person over here is Caren C Hortensia, a new servant of Chaldea that arrived just now. Caren, say hi to Kid Gilgamesh here."

"Kid Gilgamesh? Does that mean there's an adult version of him around here somewhere?" Caren asked.

"Yes. Two of them actually. Although one of them...is...well..."

"A pain in the ass to deal with?"

"Yes."

"I see. Sounds like he needs a punishing when I meet him later. He shall be judged upon seeing me and my bazooka," she said sadistically.

Both Ritsuka and Kid Gilgamesh nearly sweat dropped at Caren's words. "Scary..."

"Anyways, nice to meet you Kid Gilgamesh," Caren said, snapping both Ritsuka and Kid Gilgamesh out of their thoughts.

"Y-Yeah. Nice to meet you too..." Kid Gilgamesh said as he raised his hand.

Caren then reached Kid Gilgamesh's hand and shook it. "Well then, shall we move on master?" she asked as she was done shaking Kid Gilgamesh's hand.

"Y-Yeah."

And Ritsuka and Kid Gilgamesh soon left, leaving Kid Gilgamesh alone.

"Whoa...that older lady is pretty scary...although she reminds me of someone...but who though?"

"Well, today seems to be a good day. There's nobody bothering me, and I'm able to do whatever I want. Nothing could go wrong today..." Angra Mainyu thought as he was walking down the hallway.

However, it was then that in the distance, he saw Caren and immediately freaked out on the inside. "What the hell?! How is that woman here?! I swear, first it was Emiya Shirou, now it's Caren Hortensia?! This is some serious bullshit I'm looking at here!"

Meanwhile, Ritsuka and Caren were walking down the hallway. As they did, they saw Angra Mainyu, who looked like he in fear and was doing some strange poses. "What the heck? What is up with Angra Mainyu? I've never seen him like this since his encounter with Shirou..." Ritsuka thought.

"Hey master, what is that servant doing over there?" Caren asked as she pointed at Angra Mainyu, grabbing Ritsuka's attention.

"I don't know actually. I've never seen Angra Mainyu act like this."

"Angra Mainyu? Is he a servant of Chaldea?"

"Yeah." "And he's an ancient evil god, although I shouldn't tell her that..."

"He looks like he needs some help. Should I help him master?"

"Go ahead."

Caren then walked towards where Angra Mainyu was, making him even more scared. "Oh crap! She's getting closer!" he thought. Soon, Caren got up to where Angra Mainyu was and she was staring at him, making him nervous.

For a moment, nothing happened between the two until Caren broke the silence.

"Hello. Can I help you with something? You seem to not look so good..." Caren asked.

"N-No. There's nothing wrong with me..." Angra Mainyu muttered.

"I see...your name is Angra Mainyu, isn't it?"

"Y-Yeah."

"I see...anyways, I hope that you're a good servant, or else...you'll get punished..." she said saidstically.

Upon hearing that tone of voice, Angra Mainyu shivered in fear. "Y-Yes..."

"Good."

Caren soon left Angra Mainyu and headed towards to where Ritsuka was. As Angra Mainyu was let alone, a few thoughts came into his head.

"Well, looks like I'm dealing with a different world's Caren. Well, at least I'm safe...but still, she's still scary and sadistic as usual..."

"All right, all I need to do left is to carry the box to Da Vinci's room..." Shirou thought.

Shirou was walking down the hallway, minding his own business as he was carrying a box to Da Vinci's room. As he did, he then came across both Ritsuka and Caren, who were walking in the distance. "Is that...no way, she's here as well?"

Meanwhile, Caren noticed Shirou carrying the box. "So...Shirou's here as well..." she muttered.

"Eh? You already know Shirou, Caren?" Ritsuka asked.

"Yeah. I met him a few times when he was part-time enforcer. He would visit the church I was in sometimes."

"I see. Do you want to meet him?"

"Yeah."

"Well, go ahead then."

Caren nodded and headed towards to where Shirou was. As she got closer, she greeted him. "Hey there Shirou."

"Hey there Caren. It's been a while since we last saw each other huh?"

"Yeah. Before you disappeared off the earth that is."

Shirou nodded in reply. "So, you're a servant now huh?"

"Yeah. You too?"

"Yup. Anyways, what are you doing right now?"

"Oh, I'm carrying this box over to Da Vinci's room. She said she needs it."

Caren let out a small sigh. "You haven't changed Shirou. You're still the selfless self-sacrificing idiot that helps people no matter what. I'm not even sure to even scold or praise you for still being like this."

Shirou sighed as well. "And look at you, you're still the same that you were before. Speaking of which, are you still ripping people off again?"

"Yeah."

Shirou sighed again. "Really? You're still up to that?"

"Hey. You may call it evil, but to me, it's an easy way to get money. Anyways, you need help with that box over there?"

"No. I got it here."

"I see. Anyways, I'll be on my way with master here. See you."

"Yeah. See you."

And then, Caren soon left Shirou and headed towards where Ritsuka was. As he did, Shirou had a few thoughts going on in his head.

"So...Caren's here as well...well, looks like things are going to be a lot more crazy around here...and it's already crazy here."

"So...Shirou's here as well...looks like my time in Chaldea will be interesting...fufufufufu..."

Author's Note: Caren's chapter up, and I did a bit of tweaking. You see, the wiki said that Armor Caren is based off from Caren from Fate/Tiger Colosseum, which is practically the same character as from Hollow Ataraxia (I think). However, there is one problem. Hollow Ataraxia takes place in a scenario after the Fuyuki Grail War, where Arturia, Rin, and Sakura were in. However, I chose the fate route Shirou, and by those standards, Arturia was already gone. So, I had to modify it so that only Shirou and Caren only knew each other because of prior events untold before. That's why she doesn't know Cu, Kid Gilgamesh, and Angra Mainyu in this chapter.

Damn, the Nasuverse is quite complicated when it comes to timelines...
