The sounds of spinning thread and weaving echoed through the Spiritual Clothing Sewing Workshop. In this workshop, located in a corner of Novum Chaldea, a woman with long, lustrous crimson hair was making prototype costumes. The ones that had been personally commissioned by the Master of Chaldea the other day were almost complete.

There was no confusion or stagnation in her hands.

A joyful, graceful, shining costume was taking shape. At that moment, there was a knock on the workshop door. The woman stopped working and took a quick look around the room. The workshop was always kept tidy, so there was no problem, but she just wanted to double-check. There's nothing to disguise, she thought, standing up and calling out to the door. Then, a boy came in accompanied by a pretty fairy.

"Oh, welcome, Master. We've been waiting for you."

The woman bowed to the boy who appeared, Ritsuka Fujimaru, the only Master of Chaldea. Ritsuka returned the woman's smile, scratched his cheek, and looked apologetic.

"Hello, Miss Crane. I'm sorry to bother you."

"No, I'm always happy to work with you on any request. I assume the young lady next to you is the one who wants the costume today?"

Artoria looked a little nervous as the crimson-haired woman, Caster Servant Miss Crane, turned her attention to her and took a step in front of Ritsuka.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Artoria Caster. Thank you for creating the spiritual outfit this time."

"We are also grateful for receiving your wonderful request. Please look up."

The fairy of paradise bowed deeply, and Miss Crane urged her on, laughing. Then, footsteps were heard coming from a room with long curtains at the back of the workshop.

"Oh, Just as I thought! Master have come in time. Come in, Ritsuka"

When Ritsuka turned his head towards the voice, a small fairy with pink hair and wearing a pink hat and hoodie appeared from the back of the workshop.

"Hello, Habetrot. You look well. I'm sorry to bother you."

Ritsuka smiled and waved, and the fairy raised her hand in response. Her ruby-red eyes were filled with joy, and her walking manner was also cute. She was Habetrot, a fairy girl who was also Rider's servant.

"Aha."

A feeling of nostalgia welled up in Artoria's eyes as she saw the fairy. Habetrot had once been her traveling companion in the fairy kingdom. Even though she knew that the fairy before her was a different being from the one she knew back then, an unresolved feeling came to her mind. Perhaps noticing the feelings of the fairy from paradise, Habetrot gave her a brilliant smile.

"You're Artoria Caster, right? I'm Habetrot, the spinning fairy. I saw your records from the fairy kingdom... Artoria, you did an amazing job. I'm not the same person I was back then, but... I look forward to meeting you in Chaldea."

Her words were sincere. Just like the Habetrot she had met in the Fairy Kingdom, her reliable and gentle demeanor brought tears to Artoria's eyes. Still, without shedding a tear, the Fairy of Paradise smiled and held out her right hand.

"Yes, it's my pleasure to serve you."

"Yes! Thank you very much!"

With heartfelt smiles on their faces, the two fairies shook hands. Ritsuka, who had been watching them with a gentle expression, nodded several times before suddenly looking at Miss Crane. She had an even more ecstatic expression on her face than Ritsuka, trembling with joy at seeing something so precious. Then, noticing the Master's gaze, Miss Crane came to her senses, cleared her throat exaggeratedly, and spoke to Ritsuka and the others.

"Now, regarding Artoria's spiritual costume, I have just made a prototype. Please come and take a look at it, everyone."

Miss Crane turned her gaze to the workshop, and Ritsuka and the others looked over. There, almost the entire set of clothes that Artoria had worn when Ritsuka had first met her had been tailored. It was made with the utmost precision.

"Amazing. As expected, you did a perfect job."

"Wow, I'm surprised. Those are really my clothes..."

Ritsuka and Artoria were amazed at the almost perfect reproduction of the costume, including the familiar hat from Fairyland, the white and beige sleeveless jacket, and the gloves. After hearing their impressions, Miss Crane continued her explanation with a happy look on her face.

"We've had plenty of video footage in advance, and the person in question is here too. I think the finished product will be made quickly. Would you like to try it on?"

"Eh? Ah, now? Well, of course, I'd like to try it on, but..."

Artoria's eyes widened as she glanced at Ritsuka. The boy smiled at her and then turned around. Ritsuka went outside and waited for a while, and eventually he heard Miss Crane calling from inside the room.

Feeling a little nervous, the boy passed through the door again. There he saw the familiar figure of the Child of Prophecy, the girl with a slight blush on her cheeks. It was the girl he had met in Cornwall.

"Um... what do you think, Ritsuka?"

"Yeah, it suits you really well, Artoria. That outfit is really nice."

Ritsuka smiled brightly and nodded. The girl's cheeks flushed as she heard this, pulling her hat down low and starting to mumble.

"Ah... thank you very much."

Ritsuka's smile deepened as the Child of Prophecy managed to squeeze out a thank you. Miss Crane and Habetrot also smiled and high-fived each other. Then, the Master left the room once more, and the Fairy of Paradise changed back into her original clothes. The White Wizard turned to the two with a broad smile.

"Now, please take this costume home with you and try it on again. We will fix any parts that concern you and give you the finished product."

While Miss Crane was explaining, Habetrot quickly packed up the costume and handed it to Artoria. "Thank you," Habetrot said, and Artoria held the costume close to her heart.

"Thank you both so much. I will prepare the materials and QP necessary for the finished spiritual garments, so please contact me later with the details."

"I understand. I hope you two will continue to patronize our workshop."

Miss Crane bowed with a smile. Ritsuka returned the bow with a broad smile, and Artoria, receiving the prototype, bowed deeply. After the two of them left, Miss Crane sat in a chair with a gentle smile.

"Hmm? What's the matter, Miss Crane? You seem happy."

"No, it's nothing..."

" Hmm, you and master both look a little relieved since Artoria came to Chaldea."

"Maybe something good has happened," Miss Crane said, smiling deeper while thinking about Master and Castoria.

Meanwhile, the two of them had left the workshop and were heading to the dining hall for lunch. In fact, Miss Crane's impression was correct; ever since the recent incident in the simulator room, the two had come to trust each other even more and had naturally been getting closer.

However, their personalities and ways of life hadn't changed drastically, and Artoria was still overwhelmed by the details of the spiritual outfit.

"Ritsuka... are you sure you're okay with this? Using up resources for me again?"

"It's fine. I've properly applied in advance this time, and I have plenty of materials."

Ritsuka smiled at Artoria, lightly closing his left eye. The idea for the spiritual outfits was originally thought up by Ritsuka, who was considering what he could do for Artoria. If they continued to solve the singularities together, they would need multiple costumes and spiritual outfits, just like Ritsuka suggested to the Chaldea leaders. They readily accepted Ritsuka's proposal, and permission was quickly given for the expenses this time.

"There's nothing to worry about, Artoria. I'm looking forward to your new spirit outfit."

His words and smile made the fairy happy, causing a slight blush to form on her cheeks.

'I wonder if there's anything I can do for Ritsuka.' she thought

She wanted this person to be as happy as she was, to laugh more. She wanted to give back all the things she had received, all the memories. Artoria thought these things over and over in her head, but in the end, nothing came to mind. Her thoughts and feelings were spinning around in circles, and it felt like steam was about to come out of the girl's head.

"Artoria? Is something wrong?"

"No, no, no, no! I'm totally fine!"

It seemed like she was slightly slurring her words, but Ritsuka simply muttered, "That's fine," and asked another question.

"But Artoria, are you sure you want to wear the clothes you wore before? You could wear other clothes if you ask..."

"Of course, these clothes are fine. These are also very important clothes to me, so I would be very happy if you could recreate them."

"I'm glad to hear that," Ritsuka said, smiling at Artoria's gentle smile. "I'm looking forward to seeing it finished," he added, as they walked happily down the halls of Chaldea.

Early in the morning, one week after the two had visited Miss Crane's workshop, Ritsuka and Artoria received a call from the control room.

"A new singularity?"

"Yes, would you like to see this?"

Da Vinci displayed the data on the singularity on the screen. An ocean and several islands were displayed on the screen. Looking at it, Shion tilted her head and muttered to herself, "Hmm."

"This time the singularity is in the Caribbean Islands. We don't know which island it is specifically. As for the era... it's a bit vague, but it's probably around the early 18th century."

"I've already contacted the director and Holmes, but I thought I should tell Ritsuka and Artoria first. After all, this is the first singularity she's encountered since coming to Chaldea."

Hearing Da Vinci's words, Artoria gripped the staff she was holding tightly. The fairy was staring at the map with a serious expression, and Ritsuka looked at her with a slightly worried expression.

"Artoria, I would like you to accompany Master and resolve the singularity. I will confirm this with the directors, but first I would like to hear your intentions once again. What do you think?"

"Of course I will accompany Master! I will definitely be of help to Chaldea and Ri-Ritsuka!"

Artoria declared with a determined look in her eyes, and looked at Da Vinci, Shion, and Ritsuka. The other three looked at each other and nodded deeply.

"Thank you, Artoria. I'm counting on you even during the singularity. Nice to meet you."

"Y-Yes! Leave it to me, Ritsuka! I'll do my best for you!"

Ritsuka smiled and extended his right hand, which Artoria shook with joy. Da Vinci's expression clouded for a moment as she watched, but before the two of them could notice, she regained her smile and continued speaking.

"I'd like to leave right away. But It may be sudden, but how about after lunch?"

"Understood. As they say, good deeds are done quickly."

Ritsuka told Da Vinci with a reassuring smile. The Chaldea technical advisor nodded vigorously with a sharp smile.

"Well then, I will begin preparations, including selecting the Servants who will accompany us. We will have a briefing before noon and depart after lunch. I will contact you again about the time of the briefing, so please join us, Ritsuka-kun."

"Understood, Da Vinci-chan."

Da Vinci smiled back at Ritsuka, who nodded vigorously. The boy then turned to his side and asked Artoria a question.

"What will you do after this, Artoria?"

"I'm going to Miss Crane's workshop. I heard that the spiritual outfit I requested the other day is finished, so I'll be wearing it right away during this singularity."

With a slightly proud smile, Artoria clasped both her hands together, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"A new spiritual garment... I see... Then I'll go back to my room and prepare to go to the singularity."

At Ritsuka's words, a look of loneliness flashed in Artoria's eyes for just a moment, but it quickly disappeared and she smiled gently.

"I understand. Well then, Ritsuka, see you later."

"Yeah, see you later."

They waved to each other and walked off in different directions.

After sending off their Master and the Paradise Fairy with smiles that seemed to be plastered on their faces, Shion and Da Vinci's expressions hardened.

"What will you do about Artoria?"

Shion traced the frame of her glasses with her fingers as she turned her gaze to Da Vinci. Da Vinci closed her eyes and remained silent, with a troubled look on her face. Even after hearing Artoria's will, Da Vinci was still unsure. Considering the state of the fairies in Paradise, she had considered asking the director not to let her accompany them.

"I think that this time we should accompany Artoria to the singularity as a test case. We can collect data one by one, observe her condition, and determine how much energy is consumed in the micro-singularity. How about that?"

"...Logically, that's the right decision."

Da Vinci opened one eye and looked up at a slightly confused Shion. Sensing a faint protest in her eyes, Shion gave a wry smile.

"Oh, that's a rather disinterested reply from Ms. Da Vinci, who could be said to be the root of logic. I understand that you are concerned about Artoria, but I think this is the only place to conduct the test. Many Servants can accompany the summer singularity. It is an ideal environment to grasp her condition, where it is easy to ensure the safety of her Master. If it is dangerous, we can simply evacuate Artoria alone."

Shion stated her opinion fluently in a tone that could be called cold-hearted. Da Vinci sighed at her sound reasoning, which left no room for argument. The girl wanted to find a way to maintain the fairy world without putting too much of a burden on Artoria. However, if she were to separate Artoria from Ritsuka, who was trying to stay by his side as someone he could trust and rely on, she would inevitably have to explain the reason to them. That in the not-too-distant future, Artoria Caster would be retreating to Paradise.

"...I'll count on you to gather the data, Shion."

"Mission understood - I feel the same way as you, Da Vinci."

Shion gently placed a comforting hand on the girl's shoulder as she quietly murmured. Da Vinci placed her own hand on Shion's and nodded slightly.
