Author's note: Happy Valentine's Day! Hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's Day and this chapter! As for me...I'll be alone...again...

Valentine's Day, the day of love. Also known as Saint Valentine's Day.

On this day, lovers would give each other gifts and spend time with each other, or some servants would receive chocolates from other servants as either obligation chocolates or homemade chocolates.

And everyone in Chaldea celebrates it as well in the case many couples spending time together, some of the staff members receiving chocolates, and the single people and servants looking at the couples in jealously.

And as for Shirou, this year's Valentine's Day would be crazy for him...

Shirou was walking down the hallway, minding his business. As he did, he then noticed a lot of Chaldea's staff and servants setting up Valentine's Day-related decorations all over the wall. As he looked at the decorations that were being set up, Shirou immediately knew what was going on.

Valentine's Day was getting closer.

"These decorations...this means Valentine's Day is getting closer huh?"

As Shirou continued to look at the decorations being set up, it was then that he heard a voice calling out to him.

"Shirou!" the voice said.

Shirou then turned around to see Ritsuka coming towards him with a box in his hands. "Master?"

"Hey there Shirou. I have a request for you."

"What is it?"

"Can you help me set these decorations in this box around the walls?"

"Sure. I don't mind."

"Great!" Ritsuka then opened the box, revealing more Valentine's Day-related decorations. "All right then, all we need to do is that we just need to put these on the walls."

"Okay then."

Soon, Shirou and Ritsuka began to set up the decorations from the box on to the walls. As they were setting up the decorations, Shirou then started a conversation. "So, Valentine's Day is coming, right?"

"Yup. Which means that things are going to be busy around here," Ritsuka replied as he put up some of the decorations in the box.

"I can see that happening. Speaking of which, can I ask you something master?"

"Sure. What is it?"

"How is Valentine's Day in Chaldea like?"

For a moment, Ritsuka was silent for a moment before letting out a small sigh. "Shirou, Valentine's Day in Chaldea is quite chaotic."

"Really? How so?"

Ritsuka sighed again. "Well...for example, last year, Diarumid got chocolate from nearly all of the female staff from Chaldea. And they were all handmade too."

"You're kidding."

"I wish.

"And let me guess. It's all because of his love spot?"

"Exactly. And because of that, some of the male staff at Chaldea got a bit jealous of him, especially the ones that were single. Heck, even Blackbeard was jealous as well."

Shirou let out a small sigh. "I can see that happening. Any other stories that I should know about?"

Ritsuka gave Shirou's question some time to think before an answer came up. "Oh yeah. There was the time where Raikou, Serenity, and Kiyohime hid in my room and gave me chocolate during last year's Valentine's day."

Shirou was surprised at what Ritsuka said. "Really? They were hiding in your room?"

"Yeah. Kiyohime was hiding under my bed, Serenity was hiding in the vents, and Raikou was hiding in the closet. They said this was a one-time thing, but to this day, I check the entirety of my room to see if any of them still hide in my room whenever I return."

"Wow...that's something I've never heard of..."

"Yeah. Anyways, do you have any Valentine's Day stories to share Shirou?"

"Well...I don't have that many actually. In my high school years, I didn't care that much about Valentine's Day since there I didn't attract that many attention. The same as well in my years in the Clock Tower, aside from Tohsaka and Luvia."

"I see. Well, let's hope this year won't be as crazy as last year."

And Shirou and Ritsuka continued to set up the decorations on the walls.

Little did they know was that Shirou was going to receive a big surprise on Valentine's Day...

"Hm, looks like I should use more cacao powder," Arturia Alter said.

"But that will make the chocolate more bitter!" Arturia Lily said.

"Exactly," Santa Arturia Alter.

Arturia let out a sigh. "All of you, stop messing around."

Right now, Arturia and her counterparts were in Chaldea's kitchen, making chocolate. Normally, they wouldn't make chocolate because they had not reason to.

However, this year was different because of Shirou's arrival earlier.

Which gave them a valid reason to make chocolates for Valentine's Day.

"Let's see...add the cacao butter to the bowl and stir gently..." Caster Arturia said as she was stirring cacao butter into the bowl.

"Hm...maybe I should add this..." Mysterious Heroine X Alter said as she added in some nuts to her mixture.

"Hey younger me, don't try to do anything to that chocolate. That chocolate is for Shirou after all," Mysterious Heroine XX said.

"I know, I know," Mysterious Heroine X said.

"Hm...I wonder if this will be good..." Ruler Arturia said as she looked at the chocolate she made.

Lancer Arturia Alter temporarily stopped what she was doing for a moment and looked at her Ruler counterpart's chocolate. As she did, she was stunned at what she made.

She made chocolate in a shape of a heart, with mini strawberries on the top as well.

For a moment, she was slightly impressed with her Ruler counterpart's work. "Damn. That looks good...still though, I won't lose!" she thought as she went back to her chocolate.

Meanwhile, Lancer Arturia looked at her Ruler counterpart's chocolate and had the same thought as Lancer Arturia Alter. "Wow. So that's what my Ruler counterpart made...even more reason to not lose!"

"Are you adding oranges to the chocolate?" Archer Arturia asked.

"Yes. It's well known that oranges go well with chocolate," Rider Arturia Alter said as she added some slices of orange to the chocolate.

"Anyways, let's finish this up before Valentine's Day begins!" Arturia said.

"Yeah!" her counterparts replied in agreement.

"By the root, this is taking too long!" Ishtar yelled as she was looking at her pot of melted chocolate.

"Calm down Ishtar. Nothing will happen if you keep yelling like that," Ereshkigal said as she was mixing chocolate together.

"Still though, this is a bit tedious for me, even for a goddess..." Rider Ishtar said.

Meanwhile, Archer Ishtar was still looking at the chocolate that was still melting in the pot, and to her frustration, she was thinking that it was taking to slow to melt.

"Argh! That's it! I'm lighting this up!" Archer Ishtar yelled as she began to turn up the heat as he pointed her finger at the flame.

"W-Wait Ishtar! Are you sure about this?!" Ereshkigal asked.

"Why? I'm just turning up the heat for a bit."

"With your finger?! Are you trying to blow up the pot?!" Rider Ishtar asked.

"Relax. I'm going to use a little bit of my power and that's it. What's the worst thing that could happen?"

Ishtar then shot a tiny beam at the high flame that was heating the pot. However, it was a big mistake.

Because as soon as the blast hit the flame, it created an explosion, resulting in nearly everything being burned. Ereshkigal then grabbed the nearby fire extinguisher and put the flames out. Eventually, the flames disappeared, revealing a burned kitchen.

Ishtar, her Rider counterpart, and Ereshkigal were looking at the kitchen in despair. For a moment, they didn't say anything. Then Ereshkigal let out a few words.

"Well...guess we're going to the shops then..."

"Okay...almost there..." Passionlip said as she carefully tried to pick up the chocolate without breaking the table in the process. "And...there we go!" she said in relief as she managed to pick up the chocolate without breaking the table.

"Phew. That was close," Kingprotea said as she was making her chocolate.

"Yeah. I thought I was going to break the countertop..."

"Me too. Well, it's a good thing that you didn't cause any destruction. Remember what happened yesterday?"

"Oh yeah. I heard Ishtar wrecked the kitchen...and got scolded later."

"Yeah. Luckily, they were able to fix it. Although we need to be more careful if we do not want a repeat of that again."

"Exactly."

"Hey BB! What are you doing?!" Meltlilith yelled.

"Oh this? Well...I'm just adding something to the chocolate that I will give to senpai later..." BB replied with a chuckle.

Meltlilith then grabbed the bottle that BB was about to pour into the chocolate and examined it. Upon looking at what the bottle was, she was in shock. "Are you serious?! You're adding a dangerous love potion to this!"

"So?"

"So?! That ruins the concept of Valentine's Day!"

"That doesn't matter! As long as I give the chocolate to senpai and he accepts it, that's all I care for! Because he will be mine!" BB said with a maniacal laugh, scaring Meltlilith, Passionlip, and Kingprotea.

"Scary..."

"All right, now I just need to add this to the chocolate, and it will be perfect," Parvati said.

"Still though, why are we doing this?" Kama asked as she was looking on the side.

"Isn't it obvious? To show appreciation to senpai. You should try this out more often. It's actually quite fun."

Kama let out a sigh. "Well, if you say so..."

Parvati let out a smile. "Great. Now let me show you..."

Thus, Parvati began teaching Kama how to make chocolate...

"Illya! Sorry, but I'll be making the best chocolate!" Kuro said.

"I won't allow that!" Illya replied.

Sitonai let out a sigh. "Those two will have that rivalry forever...and it's hard to believe she's me," she said.

"I can see that," Miyu said.

Right now, Illya and her counterparts along with Miyu were making chocolate for their entire family, especially for Shirou. As they were making the chocolate, a competition between Illya and Kuro over who can make the best chocolate popped up.

"Give up Illya! You don't stand a chance against me!"

"Maybe...but I won't give up! I will make this chocolate and give it to onii-chan!"

Kuro smirked. "Likewise!"

Sitonai looked at the two and sighed again. "Looks like we'll be dealing with this for a while..."

"Seems so," Miyu said.

"All right! Now I need to do is to put the white chocolate on low heat and let it sit until all melts. Speaking of which, I should check on "that" right now," Astraea thought as she was checking on the white chocolate that was in the pot. She then went to the fridge and grabbed a certain item from the counter.

Which were handmade wafers.

"With the combination of the white chocolate and the handmade wafers, my chocolate won't lose! I can't wait to give this to Sherou when the chocolate is done!" she thought as she added the wafers on top of the chocolate. As she did, she smiled at her creation. "Great! It's perfect now! All that's left is to wait until Valentine's Day! And I'm not going to let that useless goddess get in the way!"

"All right! We have the ingredients that you needed!" Nero said in excitement.

"Exactly! Now let us make the chocolate for our praetors!" Caster Nero replied in agreement.

"Umu!" Bride Nero said.

Soon, Nero and her counterparts began working on their own chocolates. "So, caster me, what are you going to make?" Nero asked as she was working on her chocolate.

Caster Nero let out a smile. "Well, I'm making milk chocolate with some caramel inside!"

"I see! And what you Bride me?"

"Well, I'm making white chocolate with some blueberries inside!" Bride Nero replied.

"I see! As for me! I am making dark chocolate with some raspberries inside!"

"Excellent choice me!" Caster Nero and Bride Nero said in unison.

Time passed as Nero and her counterparts were working on their chocolates. Eventually, they were done with their chocolates, and they were satisfied with the results they created.

"Umu! This looks great! All that's left is to give them to my praetors!" they all thought in unison.

Jeanne D'Arc and Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily were walking down the hallway, minding their own business. As she did, they came across a certain scene.

It was Jeanne D'Arc Alter in the kitchen alone, and she was making something.

"Hm...so I add this to the pot and wait for it to melt...should be that easy..." Jeanne D'Arc Alter said.

As Jeanne D'Arc Alter was looking at the pot, Jeanne D'Arc was looking at the scene with a smile on her face. "So, my little sister is making chocolate huh? I wonder who could it be...speaking of which, I should make some for Sieg too."

"Wow. I've never seen my older self making something in the kitchen..." Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily said in awe. "I want to see..."

Jeanne D'Arc let out a smile. "Well then, let's go and see."

Soon, Jeanne D'Arc and Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily quietly entered the cafeteria. As they did, Jeanne said, "So, what are you making my little sister?"

Upon hearing her non-altered counterpart's voice, Jeanne D'Arc Alter nearly jumped and saw Jeanne D'Arc and Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily. "W-What are you two doing here?!"

"Isn't it obvious? Checking on what you are up to," she said with a smile on her face. "And it seems...you're making chocolate, aren't you?"

"Y-Yeah! So what?! It's none of your business!"

"Is that so? Who's the chocolate for then?" Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily asked.

"I-It's for me! I just want some chocolate! Is there something wrong with that?!" Jeanne D'Arc Alter argued.

However, Jeanne D'Arc Alter didn't buy her older self's excuse. "Yeah right..."

"Anyways, this looks fun. We should join in as well!" Jeanne D'Arc said as she began to grab some pots.

"I agree!" Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily replied in agreement.

Jeanne D'Arc Alter let out a sigh.

"Okay. Now I need to wait for the chocolate to melt," Okita thought as she watched the chocolate in the pot melt over the flame. As she was watching, a few thoughts came into her mind. "Valentine's Day...from what I heard, it's a holiday normally for couples where girls give chocolates to the person they love. However, there's also obligatory chocolates which is for appreciation. Still though, I can't believe I'm making chocolate for Shirou-san. Although to be fair, this is for the katanas he gave me and my altered counterpart a long time ago..."

As Okita was done with her thoughts, she then turned to her altered counterpart and looked at her in shock at what she just did.

She just added oden ingredients into her pot of melting chocolate.

"Altered me! What are you doing?!" Okita yelled.

"I'm adding stuff to the chocolate," Okita Alter replied.

"You're adding oden ingredients into the chocolate!"

"Yeah."

"That will make the chocolate taste bad!"

Okita Alter then looked at Okita. "Really? It will?"

"Obviously!"

And thus, Okita began to give a lesson on making chocolate to her non-altered counterpart...

Musashi was walking down the hallway, minding her own business. As she did, she overheard a few conversations about Valentine's Day from some of the staff and servants.

"Valentine's Day...what is that? Maybe I should ask master what Valentine's Day is..." she thought.

Musashi then continued walking to find Ritsuka. Eventually, she found him in one of the hallways. "Master!" she said, grabbing his attention.

"Hm? Oh, hey there Musashi," Ritsuka said as he turned around to see Musashi coming towards him.

"Hey master, what is this Valentine's Day that I've been hearing about? Is it a festival of some sort?"

"In a way, yes. Valentine's day is a holiday where loved ones exchange cards, candy or flowers. We also celebrate this in Japan as well."

"I see...this sounds fun! How do I celebrate this holiday?"

"Well...I think you need to either make or buy a gift and give it to someone you appreciate."

Musashi let out a smile. "Great! Thank you master! I'll be going now!" she said as she soon began to leave, hoping to find a gift.

Ritsuka let out a sigh. "I wonder what kind of gift will Musashi make? And I wonder who she will give her gift to..."

Shirou woke up with a yawn as he was getting out of bed. As he did, it was then he heard a few noises outside of his room. "Hm? What's going on outside? Is there a fight again?" Shirou then opened the front door and was in shock at the sight in front of him.

Because in front of him was a huge fight between Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, Astraea, Nero and her counterparts, Jeanne D'Arc Alter, Okita and her counterpart, and Musashi. On the side were boxes of gifts, Ritsuka, and for some strange reason, Da Vinci with a bucket of water.

"I want to give my gift first!"

"Back off! I want to do it first!"

"Not on your lifetime!"

"Umu! Nothing will come between me and my praetor!"

"Get off of me!"

"Never!"

"Stay away from Shirou!"

"Hands off of me!"

"Not until you do so!"

For a moment, Shirou was confused with the scene in front of him until Ritsuka signaled him to come towards him. "Um...master, what's going on?"

Ritsuka let out a sigh. "Well, it's quite simple. They're fighting over who gets to be the first person who will give you chocolate. It all started when Ishtar, her counterparts, and Astraea met in front of your room at the same time, and they started arguing. Then things started to escalate when the others arrived, which led one thing to another, and...well...it resulted into this."

"I-I see, but why is Da Vinci here?"

Da Vinci let out a smirk. "Because I have a plan here. Shirou, come here for a moment. Also, take off the white Kimono and arm sleeve you're wearing right now."

Shirou was confused at Da Vinci's request. "Why?"

"Oh…you'll see…"

Still confused, Shirou did what Da Vinci asked him to do and took off his kimono and arm sleeve. "Okay. Now what?" he asked.

"This!" Da Vinci then poured the bucket of water on Shirou, getting him wet in the process.

"What the-Da Vinci! What was that for?!"

"Now, now. This is part of the plan. Now dry yourself up," she said as she handed him a towel. Shirou then dried himself up, which allowed Da Vinci to unleash phase 2 of her plan. "Ritsuka-kun. Now."

Ritsuka let out a sigh. "Hey girls?"

Upon hearing Ritsuka's voice, Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, Astraea, Nero and her counterparts, Jeanne D'Arc Alter, Okita and her counterpart, and Musashi stopped fighting among each other and turned around. As they did, they were greeted with a surprise they would never forget.

Which was a wet shirtless Shirou.

Normally for Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, and Astraea, they have already seen Shirou's body and were already used to it. But a wet shirtless Shirou?

That is a new thing for them.

Meanwhile, Nero and her counterparts, Jeanne D'Arc Alter, Okita and her counterpart, and Musashi were in awe of seeing Shirou's body build for the first time.

And they all let out a blush.

Meanwhile, Shirou was done wiping himself with the towel. As he did, he then looked at Arturia and her counterparts, Ishtar and her counterparts, Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters, Illya and her counterparts, Miyu, Astraea, Nero and her counterparts, Jeanne D'Arc Alter, Okita and her counterpart, and Musashi, who were staring at them with a huge blush on their faces.

"Um...everyone...are you okay?"

For a moment, nothing happened.

Then in an instant, all the girls let out giant nosebleeds, resulting in a giant puddle of blood around them.

Shirou and Ritsuka were shocked at what just happened. "Everyone?!" they yelled in unison.

"P-Perfect..." Arturia and her counterparts moaned.

"That body...it's worthy for a goddess..." Ishtar and her counterparts muttered.

"Senpai's body...it was worth seeing it again..." Parvati, Kama, BB and her sisters muttered.

"Onii-chan's body...it must be preserved..." Illya, her counterparts, and Miyu muttered.

"Such...beauty...it's so divine..." Astraea muttered.

"Indeed...I want to draw that...and sculpt them..." Nero and her counterparts muttered.

"Me...too..." Jeanne D'Arc Alter said.

"Shirou-san's body...is a weapon of its own..." Okita and her counterpart muttered.

"Shirou-kun's body...I have no regrets seeing it..." Musashi muttered.

And then, everybody passed out from blood loss and fell to the ground.

"EVERYONE!" Shirou and Ritsuka yelled.

"Well, that's one way to solve the problem...although I'll admit, it was a bit overkill..." Da Vinci muttered.

Omake

Archer Gilgamesh felt like this year's Valentine's day was going to be the same as before.

No chocolates from Arturia and her counterparts.

As he was walking down the hallway, he passed by a room and overheard a conversation that angered him dearly.

"Hey, did you hear?"

"Yeah. Apparently, the King of Knights, her counterparts, and a few others had a nosebleed upon seeing Emiya Shirou wet and shirtless. And apparently, they enjoyed it before passing out."

"Damn. That's something that I never heard of."

"Yeah. And it all started over who gets to give the gift to Emiya Shirou first."

At that moment, Gilgamesh was really pissed at what he just heard. "WHAT THE HELL?! HOW DID SABER AND HER COUNTERPARTS HAVE A NOSEBLEED UPON SEEING THAT FAKER'S BODY?! THIS IS BULLSHIT! WHEN I SHOW MY BODY TO THEM, THEY LOOK AT ME WITH DISGUST! BUT WHEN IT COMES TO HIM, THEY ACTUALLY ENJOY IT! THIS IS ABSURD! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HE GETS CHOCOLATE FROM SABER AND HER COUNTERPARTS WHILE I DON'T?! THAT MONGREL!"

Thus, Gilgamesh was in a bad mood for the whole day...
