Okay, so FGO mobile released Caren Hortensia as a Ruler-class servant...well, looks like Cu, Kid Gil, and Rasputin cannot escape now. Who's next? Bazet? Issei? Ayako?

Shirou was having a weird day. In fact, this may be the weirdest day he has ever experienced.

It all started one morning when Shirou woke up on his bed, realizing that Merlin was responsible for knocking him out yesterday. However, when he tried to get out of bed, he realized something.

He was not able to get out of bed. Furthermore, the reason why he was not able to get out of bed earlier was that Arturia and her counterparts were holding on to Shirou, preventing him from leaving.

It took a while for Shirou to quietly escape from Arturia and her counterparts.

And right now, Shirou was walking down one of Chaldea's hallways, minding his own business. However, whenever he would pass by a few servants, they would whisper something.

"Is that true?"

"Yes, it's true actually..."

"Wow, guess there's more to Emiya Shirou than meets the eye..."

"Wow. A servant that can fight extremely well and cook extremely well...whoever gets him will be the luckiest person alive..."

"Indeed. His heroic tale may even surpass the King of Heroes' tale..."

Shirou was confused with the comments and conversations he was hearing from the other servants. "What is going on today? Everyone's whispering around me and they're keeping a distance from me...did I do something wrong here?"

As he continued walking, he eventually arrived at the cafeteria, where EMIYA was there, cooking for the other servants. As Shirou was walking towards the kitchen, everyone that was in the cafeteria was looking at him, confusing him even further. "Okay, everyone's looking at me. Just what is going on here?!"

Soon, Shirou got to the kitchen. "Need some help?" he asked.

"Yeah. Help me with making those dishes over there," EMIYA replied as he pointed to a corner of the kitchen.

"Got it." Shirou then headed towards the corner EMIYA was pointed out earlier and started on the dishes he was talking about earlier. As the two were cooking in the cafeteria, EMIYA continued the conversation.

"So, did anything happen today?" EMIYA asked.

Shirou let out a small sigh. "Yes. I woke up after being knocked out by Merlin for unknown reasons, and the first thing that I noticed was that Arturia and her counterparts were in my bed with me."

EMIYA stopped for a moment upon hearing those words from Shirou's mouth. "You're kidding me."

"Yeah. Luckily, I managed to slip out of my room before anything drastic happened. Although now I'm wondering why Merlin knocked me out earlier..."

"You think Merlin's the one responsible for knocking you out?"

"Yeah. I mean, he's the only one that likes to knock me unconscious, besides mom and Da Vinci of course."

"True..." EMIYA said as he was done making a dish.

Shirou and EMIYA continued cooking. As they did, it was then that four certain servants came into the cafeteria with a smile on their faces.

It was Cu and his counterparts.

"Hey kid!" they exclaimed in unison.

Shirou stopped what he was doing and turned to see Cu and his counterparts, who were coming at Shirou with a grin on their faces.

"Cu?"

"Hey kid, why didn't you tell us?" Proto Cu asked.

Shirou was confused. "Tell you guys what?"

"Isn't it obvious? You didn't tell us that you were able to kill an evil immortal interdimensional space god who was able to control the Akashic Records from another universe!" Caster Cu stated proudly.

Upon hearing those words, Shirou nearly dropped what he was doing while EMIYA let out a sigh. "Well, there goes the secret."

"How do you guys know that?! I didn't tell anyone about that event! Who told you this?!"

"That wizard Merlin did," Cu Alter said.

Shirou mentally groaned upon hearing Merlin was the one that spilled the event on that day. "Merlin...just what did you do to me after you knocked me unconscious...I swear, you'll better give me an explanation about this once I find you..."

"Hey kid, you all right over there?" Cu asked, snapping Shirou out of his thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just...gathering my thoughts for moment." Shirou then resumed to what he was doing. "So, how much do you know about that event?"

"Well...me and my counterparts know about your fight against Asakim Dowen, an evil immortal interdimensional space god who was able to control the Akashic Records from another universe," Cu replied.

"I see. Anything else did Merlin tell you?"

"Well...he did show us some of the events of the fifth Fuyuki Grail was you, me, and your future counterpart was in. And some parts of your life as well."

"Anything else?"

"Nope."

Shirou let out a sigh. "I see. So that's how much Merlin revealed..."

"Yup. Anyways, why didn't you tell us that you killed an evil immortal interdimensional space god who was able to control the Akashic Records from another universe?"

"Well, it's not something you can blurt out during a casual conversation. I mean, the words, 'evil immortal interdimensional space god who was able to control the Akashic Records from another universe,' is something that isn't taken lightly. If word spread about this feat, people would come after me, and I would end up on a sealing designation."

"But you can still beat them up though," Proto Cu said.

"Well, that's true. But that's not the point. The point is that I don't want to attract any attention. I don't care about the deeds that I did, and that is that."

Caster Cu let out a smirk. "Spoken like a heroic spirit huh?"

"Seems so. Also, you might want to stay away from shishou and her counterpart for a while," Cu Alter said.

"Why?" Shirou asked.

"Well..." Cu and his counterparts said nervously as they recalled a conversation they overheard yesterday...

(Yesterday...)

Cu and his counterparts were walking down the hallway, minding their own business. As they did, they passed by one of Chaldea's recreational rooms and overheard a conversation from two certain servants.

Scathach and her counterpart.

"So, Emiya Shirou was able to kill an evil imortal interdimensional space god who was able to control the Akashic Records from another universe...that sounds interesting..." Scathach said.

"I know. And the fact that he did it on his own is quite impressive," Scathach Skadi replied.

"Indeed. He may be a worthy successor to the Land of Shadows..."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Cu and his counterparts had one thought in mind.

"Oh shit! The kid's screwed!"

(Back to the present...)

Both Shirou and EMIYA were surprised at the conversation Lancer Cu said. "Really? Scathach was thinking that I may be a worthy successor to the Land of Shadows?"

"Yeah. Honestly, seeing you as the successor to the land of shadows...it freaks me and my counterparts out."

"How so?"

"Because...in order to be the successor, you would have to go through her hellish training regime..." Lancer Cu said as he and his counterparts started clutching their heads in fear.

At that moment, both Shirou and EMIYA immediately knew how cruel Scathach's training is and asked, "It's that bad?"

"Bad? Hah! Bad doesn't even hold a candle to it..."

Shirou let out a small sigh. As he did, it was then he heard a few rumbling sounds in the distance, and he and EMIYA knew what that sound was.

It was the sound of Arturia and her counterparts heading towards the cafeteria.

"Hey Cu, I think you might want to move now..." he said.

"Why?"

And at that moment, Arturia and her counterparts arrived with a look of hunger on their faces.

"Shirou! Food!" they exclaimed in unison.

Cu and his counterparts looked at Arturia and her counterparts, then back to Shirou and EMIYA.

"That's why."

"I can see that," Lancer Cu said.

Shirou let out a sigh as he was walking down the hallway. After cooking up Arturia and her counterparts their daily meal (which was nine servings of food each), Shirou was finally able to take a break from the amount of cooking he did.

As he continued walking down the hallway, he would pass by some servants who were whispering to each other, and unlike before, he had a hunch of what they were talking about. "Wow. Word about me killing Asakim Dowen spread so quickly," Shirou thought as was walking past a few servants. Soon, Shirou reached a corner of the hallway, and that was when he met a certain servant...or rather, bumped into her, literally.

That servant was Osakabehime, and she was carrying a bunch of books and papers.

As the two bumped into each other, they both fell to the ground instantly.

"Ow!"

"Ouchie!"

The two fell to the ground, resulting in the books and papers that Osakabehime fell to the ground immediately. As they were recovering, Shirou got a better view of who he just bumped into.

"Osakabehime?"

"Hm? Ah! S-Shirou! Sorry for bumping into you!" Osakabehime replied.

"It's all right. I'm the one who bumped into you to begin with," Shirou replied as he noticed the books and papers that were on the ground. "You need some help picking those up?"

"Y-Yes!"

Shirou and Osakabehime then picked up the books and papers that fell earlier. As they did, Shirou noticed something that caught his eyes in one of the papers.

It was a drawing of the clash between him and Asakim Dowen.

Shirou examined the drawing of the clash between him and Asakim Dowen, and for a moment, he was stunned and impressed with how near accurate the clash was. "Wow. The clash between me and Asakim...it's already this popular among servants..."

"Um...Shirou, are you okay?" Osakabehime asked, snapping Shirou out of his thoughts.

"Hm? Oh yeah, I'm fine. Here you go," Shirou replied as he handed Osakabehime the drawing.

"Thanks..." She then grabbed the drawing. "So...you saw it huh..."

"Yeah...there is one question I want to ask you Osakabehime."

"Y-Yes! What is it?"

"That fight between me and Asakim Dowen...did Merlin tell everyone about it?"

"I think so. Yesterday, nearly every Japanese servant was in a frenzy upon seeing the match between you and that Asakim guy."

"Figures...anyways, I'll be on my way now. I need to find Merlin..."

"Okay! See you later Shirou!"

"Yeah. See you later Osakabehime."

And then the two went their different ways. As time passed, Shirou then passed by another servant who recognized him immediately.

Mordred Pendragon, the Knight of Treachery.

Mordred let out a huge smile upon seeing Shirou. "Hey there mother!" she exclaimed happily.

"Hey there Mordred. Is there something you need from me?" Shirou replied.

"Hey mother, can I borrow Tsumugari Muramasa for a moment?"

Shirou nearly did a spitake and was dumbfounded upon hearing Mordred's request. "What?" he asked.

"Huh? You didn't hear me properly? Can I borrow Tsumugari Muramasa for a moment?" Mordred repeated.

"Hm? Oh, yeah...and let me guess. Merlin told you about my feat against Asakim Dowen on which I killed him with Tsumugari Muramasa and you wanted to try out Tsumugari Muramasa, right?"

"Exactly!"

Shirou let out a sigh. "Yeah, Mordred, I don't think that's going to work."

"Eh? How come?"

"Because Tsumugari Muramasa is only accessible by my reality marble. Plus, the usage of it results in immediate death, and for some reason in my case, a loss of mana. So, yeah, sorry about that."

"I see..." Mordred said as she sounded a little disappointed.

"However, I can offer you this," Shirou said as he raised his hand. As he then projected something in his hands. Soon, a sword appeared.

That sword was Caliburn.

Upon seeing Caliburn appear in Shirou's hands, Mordred's eyes lit up immediately. "Really?! I can have this mother?!" she exclaimed with surprise in her voice.

"Sure."

With glee, Mordred quickly took Caliburn and held it in her hands. As she did, she felt amazed at feeling the sword of selection in her hands, even though it was traced. "Thanks mother!"

"No problem Mordred."

And the two went on their separate ways. Shirou continued walking down the hallway he was on. As he did, he then met up with three certain servants.

Ritsuka, Hakuno, and Sieg.

"Hm? Master? Hakuno? Sieg?"

"Shirou, what you did in your life was amazing," Ritsuka said in awe.

"Yeah. I never seen anyone kill a god before. Furthermore, an evil immortal interdimensional space god who was able to control the Akashic Records from another universe. That's something never heard of," Sieg said in amazement.

"Exactly. Even the moon cell doesn't have any information about Asakim Dowen, and that's saying something," Hakuno said.

"Speaking of which, can you train with me later?" Sieg asked.

Shirou was silent for a moment before continuing the conversation. "I take it that all three of you saw the event then?"

"Yup," the three said in unison.

"Figures..." Shirou said.

"Anyways, you won't believe what Hakuno did after seeing the footage Merlin sent to her," Ritsuka said.

Shirou was confused for a moment. "What do you mean?"

Hakuno let out a sigh. "It's a long story..." she said as she began to recall the tale of what happened earlier...

(Earlier...)

"Hey! Why am I subjected to something like this?!" Gilgamesh yelled in anger.

"Shut up, King of Heroes. This is your punishment," Hakuno replied.

"Punishment?! For what?!"

"For trying to kill Shirou just because he was on a date with Arturia on that day."

Right now, Gilgamesh was tied up in the cafeteria as he was subjected to eating a giant plate of super spicy mapo tofu.

"Hey! I was trying to claim what was mine!" Gilgamesh argued.

"To you, maybe. But to me, it looked like you were jealous of Shirou and tried to kill him for a petty reason. And just for that, you deserve this. Now eat it," Hakuno said as she grabbed a spoonful of mapo tofu.

"But-!?"

"Eat it," Hakuno commanded in a scary tone as she shoved a spoonful of mapo tofu into his mouth.

Upon eating it, Gilgamesh was screaming as a burst of flames came from his mouth.

Meanwhile, Ritsuka and Mashu looked at the scene in shock. "Whoa..."

(Back to the present...)

"And that's what happened," Hakuno said as she was done recalling the events.

Shirou was dumbfounded at what Hakuno did to Gilgamesh. For a moment, he was silent before continuing the conversation. "Really Hakuno? You actually shoved a spoonful of mapo tofu down his throat? And he screamed upon eating it?"

"Yup. Just to teach him not to meddle into someone's date."

Shirou wasn't sure to either be scared or amazed at what Hakuno did to Gilgamesh. "Jeez, Hakuno can be scary sometimes...just how scary can she be to Gilgamesh...wait, I do not want to know."

"Um...Shirou, are you okay?" Sieg asked, snapping Shirou out of his thoughts.

"Hm? Oh, yeah. I was just in my thoughts. That is all. Anyways, has anyone of you seen Merlin? I need to have a conversation with him."

"About what?"

"Well, it's something private, so there's no need for any of you to find out."

"I see. Anyways, see you later Shirou."

"Yeah. See you later master, Hakuno, Sieg. Speaking of which Sieg."

"Yes?"

"I'll train with you later. Just let me find Merlin first."

Sieg's eyes lit up in excitement. "Great! Thanks, Shirou!"

And then everyone went on their separate ways. As Shirou continued walking down the hallways he was on, the whispers and conversation between the nearby servants continued, making Shirou sigh at the situation he was in. "Jeez, this is going to be a while to get used to..."

"Really? I thought you would enjoy the fame," a familiar voice said.

Shirou immediately knew that voice and turned around to see Merlin, who was sitting on the window stand with a smile on his face.

"Merlin."

"Greetings Queen Shirou."

Shirou let out a sigh. "I take it you were responsible for spreading news about that event?"

"Exactly," Merlin replied with no denial.

"Well, I'm going to regret asking this...but why?"

"Well, blame master for that. You see, he wanted to know the story of how you became a heroic spirit, so me, Da Vinci, and Irisviel devised a plan to see what feats you have done in your lifetime."

"So, you knocked me out just so that master can see my memories?"

"Yes...along with your family, Arturia, Ishtar, Parvati, Astraea, Mashu, and even Zelretch."

Shirou was surprised for a moment. "Zelretch?! He was there too?!"

"Yeah. He just appeared out and invited himself in."

Shirou let out a sigh. "Figures."

"Yeah. Anyways...sorry about that." Merlin then put his hands together in a pleading state. "Will you forgive me?"

For a moment, Shirou was silent as he didn't say anything. Then he had his answer.

"Well...since no harm came towards each other and it all started because of master's curiosity, I'll let it slide."

Merlin let out a small sigh of relief.

"However, he won't.

Merlin was confused for a moment before he felt a familiar paw hitting him in the face.

"Die, Merlin! Foooouu!"

In an instant, Fou kicked Merlin right in the face and started to beat him up...
