(Irisviel opens a door out of nowhere and two figures came in)
Irisviel- I want you to meet Akeno Himejima and Mamako Oosuki!
Akeno and Mamako- Hi!

Author- Okay...well...here's the chapter.
Chapter Four.
Illya's POV.
Miyu and I are playing our Fate Grand Order with Kaiba looking at us playing. 'So…this game is famous around the world?' He asked he looks at the game with the same curiosity as a bewildered child. 'Yes. Everyone plays it.' Miyu said, showing the game to him. 'And there are shows based on the game as well?' He continued asking, wanting to know how the people in this world interpret his world.
'Yes. Even comics, light novels, figures, and cards. Like the one Miyu gave you.' I said, explaining the other products that are based on his world. He nods as he continued looking at us playing the game. 'If you like, we could bring you to see our collections.' Miyu said. 'Really?' He asked as he was smiling. I giggled as I pulled out my collections of cards, figures, and comics. 'I always ask my parents to buy them when they here for the holidays.' I said. He looks at the figure of Saber Lancer. 'I'm surprised that they managed to get the bust to the perfect caliber as the real one.' He said. 'You mean you met the real Artoria Lancer?' I asked, wanting to know more about his step-mother and the relationship between her and the other versions of herself. 'Yes. Both she and my step-mother are friends, albeit the same person but in Chaldea City, we can change our clothes in accordance with the weather.' He explained the background of his world even further. 'Like having a summer suit for summer?' Miyu asked. 'Yes. That's one thing.' He said as he gives back the figure to me. I then had an idea. 'Onii-chan! Can we bring Kaiba to the shop?' I asked Shirou, who is busy doing his homework. 'Okay, but be careful.' Shirou said. Miyu and I smiled as we dragged Kaiba to our special place.
'Welcome to the Fate Grand Shop! The place that sells all things relating to any Fate series!' I announced as I opened the door. He saw all the things and looked like he was at home. I saw my favorite shop-keeper dusting off the figures using the duster. 'Illya! Miyu! Great to see you two!' She said, waving at us with the duster. 'Hi, Bazett! Where's Angelica and Tanaka?' I asked as I looked around to find the two. 'Angelica and Tanaka are waiting at the back for the new shipment. I'll glad to give you two some things for free since this store is packed.' Bazett said, placing down the duster under the table. She then saw Kaiba, who is looking at the figures of Scathach, Cu Chulainn and Diarmuid. 'Who is he?' Bazett whispered to the two of us. 'He's a Servant from the other world.' Miyu said nonchalantly. 'MIYU!' I hissed in a panic. 'Well…nice imagination there, Miyu.' Bazett said with a chuckle. 'Thank god, she didn't believe Miyu.' I said. I saw Kaiba holding a figure of Jeanne in her normal form. 'Nice eyes there. That is one of the new figures that came in a few days ago.' Bazett said, explaining the figure he's holding. 'She looks the same as the real one.' Kaiba said with a small smile. 'He means his girlfriend. His girlfriend likes to cosplay as Jeanne during any conventions since her name is the same.' I said the make-up story. She nods. 'Seems like a fun couple.' Bazett said. The back door opens, revealing Angelica and Tanaka, carrying boxes.
'The new shipment just came, boss!' Tanaka said. 'There so many of them. It might take some time to carry and unpack them.' Angelica said with a sigh. 'Kaiba can help.' Miyu offered her own two cents. Both Kaiba and I looked at Miyu with disbelief. 'That's excellent. He looks strong enough.' Bazett said, looking at Kaiba's physical form. 'Miyu…we told Onii-chan that we don't over-work Kaiba too much.' I whispered to her. 'It's fine. I need some work-out for myself.' He said with a small smile. I smiled sheepishly as Angelica and Tanaka lead him to the back. Miyu and I also followed and we saw all the boxes stacked together.
'Are you sure you're up for this?' Angelica asked. Kaiba smiled as he cracks his knuckles. 'Nothing I can't handle.' He said as he, Angelica and Tanaka hauled the boxes. They unpacked the boxes, revealing new figures, cards and other stuff that are new for the stores. I helped Kaiba, along with Miyu, placing the stuff where they belong. Soon, everything is finished and all of us sighed in relief. 'Thanks for the help. It might take us several days to set everything and we have a tight schedule.' Tanaka said, wiping away a bit of sweat from her forehead. 'It's nothing. I'm glad I could help with the stuff here.' Kaiba said as he wipes his dirty hands to his pants. 'And as a token of our gratitude, you may each get three items.' Bazett said with a bright smile. 'Really?!' Miyu and I asked with excitement laced in our voices. 'Yes. You've provided a good helper for us. Maybe he could help us some other times?' Angelica asked. 'I will glad to help if times arise.' Kaiba said reassuringly. 'Then, go ahead and pick you three things.' Tanaka said, allowing us to look around. All three of us went around the store to look for our free gifts. I picked up a figure of Nightingale and a figure of Saber in her normal clothes along with a card of Rider. Miyu picked out three more cards of Jeanne d'Arc since she gave one to Kaiba while he himself...
He picks out a card of Saber, a card of Mordred and a card of Jeanne but her Archer form. 'Thank you for your gifts. I will make sure to come here and help again.' He said while bowing a bit. All three of them smiled as we waved our goodbyes. 'That was nice.' Miyu said. 'You said it.' I said. I noticed Kaiba looking at the cards with a small smile. 'They really got their looks.' He said with a small chuckle. When we reached home, Luvia, Rin and Sakura are talking to Onii-chan about the homework. 'Hey there guys. Did you have fun?' Onii-chan asked. 'We sure did.' I said. 'Good. Because we have good news!' Onii-chan said as he placed the plates in front of us. 'What is the good news?' I asked. 'Mom and Dad are coming over to stay and visit, along with Sella, Leysritt, and Chloe.' He reveals the good news. 'CHLOE IS COMING OVER!?' I screamed loudly, enough for all the people around all of us to hear.
Kaiba's POV.
I woke up the next morning, feeling energized. I feel like it's going to be one of those days.
*Ding! Dong!*
The door-bell rang loudly and I got up, putting my clothes on. Shirou and Illya are out to their school today so I have the home to myself. The door-bell kept on ringing before I reached and opened the door. I saw the five familiar people that are similar in my own world, carrying several luggages.
'Hi! Is this Shirou's place? Did we get the address wrong?' Irisviel asked as she looks around. She looks exactly like Irisviel from my own world. White long hair and red eyes. She wears a burgundy blouse with a brooch, a white skirt, thigh-high white boots, and black tights.
'Honey, this is the right address. We didn't get lost.' Kiritsugu said, reassuring Irisviel that she is right. He looks exactly like Kiritsugu from my world. Black hair and onyx eyes. He wears a black suit with a black shirt and black tie.
'Ma'am, please refrain from making yourself look like a fool.' Sella spoke, trying to diffuse the situation. She looks similar to Sella in my world. However, this Sella wears a brown dress with buttoned-up cuffs and collar.
'Sella, I'm hungry. I want to eat.' Leysritt groaned as she tries to reach for the bag behind Sella but to no avail. She also looks similar to Leysritt in my world except this Leysritt wears a white strapless short-sleeved shirt with red lines at the shoulder hems and the sleeves. She also has blue shorts reaches above her thighs.
'This is the right address which begs the question...who are you?' Chloe asked as she squints her eyes at me. She looks exactly as Illya and Chloe from my world except tanned and wearing the same clothes as Illya of this world. 'Um...my name is Kaiba Kazuraba. I'm a friend of Shirou.' I told them a lie, hiding my real identity. They all looked at me with curiosity before...
'MOM! DAD! SELLA! LEYSRITT! Chloe...' Illya's voice came from behind them, the last name was muttered. They all turned and I saw Illya walking with Shirou, Sakura, Rin, Miyu, and Luvia. 'Illya!' Irisviel and Kiritsugu said with cheers as they gave her a hug. 'Glad that you guys made it safe and sound.' Shirou said as he looks at them with a warm smile. I smiled as well before Leysritt turned towards me. 'So...who are you exactly?' She asked. I was sweating profusely. I saw Shirou nodding his head, telling me to tell the truth to them. I sighed before dropping my head. 'I am not from around here or from this world. I am a Servant. Ruler Saber Archer.' I explained. I saw the five looking at me, trying to find out if I'm lying or not.
'Okay. He's telling the truth.' Leysritt said as she turns around. 'What?' Luvia asked. 'Leysritt can tell if someone is lying or not. We tend to believe her.' Sella said as they all went inside. I was confused. 'Anyway...we want to see if you can cook.' Irisviel said. 'Okay.' I said as I followed them. Shirou and Illya helped them get their stuff to their rooms but Leysritt wants to stay beside me. 'So...what are you going to cook?' She asked as she was munching from a bag of chips she managed to snag from Sella's backpack. 'I...don't know actually. I was wondering if you want anything?' I asked. I saw her looking at me with a surprised look. 'You will do that?' She asked with a small voice. 'Yeah. You may be similar to Leysritt in my world but I knew better than to trust my knowledge from my world instead of this world.' I said. She smiled softly before pulling out a pack of minced meat. 'Well...what about omurice?' She asked timidly. 'Omurice, huh? I can do that.' I said as I rolled up my sleeves. I start working, with Leysritt helping me with some other stuff. Soon, we finished cooking and served the Emiya Einzbern family, including Sella, Luvia, Sakura, Miyu, and Rin. 'Food...is served.' I said with a curtsey. They all eat and I saw them crying with tears of joy. 'This tastes so nice!' Shirou spoke as he continued eating. 'I know. Better than any other omurice from other restaurants.' Kiritsugu said. 'It is...tolerable.' Sella said nonchalantly, still eating as if her life depends on it. I chuckled before I saw Leysritt smiling softly. 'Thank you.' I told her.
'For what?' She asked, confused for my thanks. 'For believing in me.' I said with a soft smile. She nods as we both sat down and eat.
