Rin slowly withdrew her raised right leg and turned her head to greet Kiritsugu Emiya and Shirou Kotomine.
"Yo!"
Then, looking at Irisviel, who was dazed in the shade, she gave a bright smile and said to her.
"Long time no see, Irisviel! How is it, are you used to your Servant status?"
"Roar!"
The knocked-away Gudako let out a soul-shaking roar and leaped out of the crater, charging at Rin. Rin felt a faint fear in her heart and complained.
"Can she even intimidate me in my Ishtar Servant form? As expected of Gudako!"
After saying this, Rin's ruby-like pupils instantly turned gold. A pressure like that of a primordial beast emanated from her body—it was Rin's state with the dragon factor fully activated.
Rin, having completely dispelled the fear in her heart, reached out a hand to catch Gudako's incoming punch and parried it outward. Then, she took a quick step forward, pressing against Gudako's chest, and with a surge of power from her shoulder, she delivered a heavy Tetsuzanko to Gudako's chest.
Then, Rin mercilessly grabbed the flying Gudako, using that momentum to spin and throw her high into the air. She then extended her right hand and fired a Spear of Venus at the Gudako in the sky.
Following an explosion, Gudako fell to the ground as if her energy were depleted, lying ragged at the bottom of the crater she had made, falling into a deep sleep.
As Gudako fell asleep, Martha also appeared by her side, picked her up, and walked over to Rin.
Shirou Kotomine and Kiritsugu Emiya, having regained their ability to move, came to Irisviel's side, looking at her somewhat nervously.
"Kiritsugu!"
"Iri!"
This couple, who had been separated by life and death for 16 years, never expected to meet again. Irisviel excitedly hugged Kiritsugu Emiya, burying her head in his chest.
Shirou Kotomine, seeing this scene, glanced at Kiritsugu Emiya with a hint of jealousy and walked to Rin's side, feeling a bit down.
"Rin, what exactly is going on?"
Rin looked at the dejected Shirou Kotomine with disdain. 'Tsk! This guy didn't fall for Irisviel, did he? Well, in this world, he and Irisviel really don't seem to have any connection!'
"Are you talking about Irisviel or Gudako?"
"Both."
"Alright! I'll talk about Irisviel first. She's a pseudo-Servant I resurrected using the Fuyuki Holy Grail fragments. She has another identity: she's Kiritsugu Emiya's wife and Illya's mother! You didn't know that at all, did you?"
After hearing Rin's explanation, Shirou Kotomine's expression became even more unsightly, like a young man in his first love chasing a goddess, only to find out she's married and is his friend's mother.
"As for Gudako! Remember my plan? The Spiritron World needs a King and a God to stabilize its history and mythology. Only then will this world gradually become real, rather than a fake that disappears once the spiritron computer is turned off. I am the God, of course~ and for the King, I chose Gudako!"
After finishing, Rin glanced at Gudako in Martha's arms and added in her mind, 'Only this way can I complete the phase that suits me best!'
At this moment, the depressed Shirou Kotomine didn't care about Rin's plan at all. After hearing her story, he just walked toward the mud hut, head down and moody.
Rin looked at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was catching up with Irisviel, and Shirou Kotomine, who had sulked into the mud hut. She gave Martha a look and then walked into the nearby woods.
Martha followed Rin into the woods, carrying Gudako. She placed Gudako on a large rock and turned to ask Rin.
"What exactly is this young girl? She's not human, is she?"
"Yes! I created her!"
"Then what exactly did you do to her? What is that beast-like state and the effect of suppressing humans?"
"Well~ I used the ten horns of the Beast 666 that appeared in Fuyuki City as her skeleton. However, I've used the stigmata to suppress the residual Beast-class saint graph in those horns. The saint graph activation state she just showed only erupts under certain stimulation."
Martha's eyes twitched involuntarily when she heard Rin used the horns of the Beast 666 as Gudako's skeleton.
"You really dare to try anything!"
"It's alright! And I'm talking about the body prepared for her in reality; the her here is just a part of her soul carrying the Beast-class saint graph. One purpose of this experiment is precisely to remove the Beast-class saint graph from this part of her soul. Also, I'm experimenting to see if I can find a way for her to learn my magecraft."
After saying this, Rin turned to look at Gudako lying on the rock, then took out a light sphere and dropped it onto Gudako's body, letting the light sphere begin to continuously shine on her.
"There! With this, she won't go berserk for the time being. However, you should still be careful not to let her have too much contact with Irisviel. As a part of the Fuyuki Holy Grail fragments, Irisviel will bring her a lot of stimulation! So, you should head to the next floor soon! By the way, here's a hint: Sakura is the key to resolving the Beast-class saint graph in the plan..."
Having finished her explanation, Rin didn't give Martha any more chances to ask questions. She turned and transformed into a golden light, disappearing into the horizon.
Martha looked up at the horizon, watching Rin disappear as a golden light, and sighed. Then, she picked up Gudako and began to head back the way they came.
"What a poor young girl!"
When Martha returned to the mud hut, she happened to see the scene of Shirou Kotomine and Irisviel bidding each other a lingering farewell. It turned out that after some conversation, Irisviel learned of Kiritsugu Emiya's experiences over the years. Recalling Kiritsugu Emiya's dream, she resolutely sought out Shirou Kotomine.
Then, with Shirou Kotomine's consent, Kiritsugu Emiya, who obtained Shirou Kotomine's command spells, became Irisviel's Master. And what followed was the scene Martha had just witnessed.
A short while later, leaving the farmland, Kiritsugu Emiya looked at Irisviel beside him and asked.
"Iri, you should understand. Is it really okay to follow me?"
"Kiritsugu! I won't regret it!"
At this time, Rin, having left the fifth floor, flew straight to the Summit Seat of the tenth floor.
Just as she arrived at the Summit Seat, Rin instantly accelerated and came before The Enlightened One, who was seated upon a lotus pedestal.
"Venerable One!"
"Hmm."
Accompanied by this exchange, the Summit Seat fell back into a state of silence. Under the firmament, Rin and The Enlightened One seemed to be playing a game of staring at each other, neither willing to speak first, only continuing to stand there in silent stalemate.
Below, Kirei Kotomine looked up at Rin and The Enlightened One in the sky, then lowered his head with a pleasant smile on his lips. He then ignored Rin and The Enlightened One above and continued to stare at the small sapling sprouting from the ground.
The sixth floor.
Illya woke up in a fairy-tale castle. Then, under the service of a maid transformed from a biscuit, she finished washing up and changed into a princess dress. Afterward, under the protection of several soldiers shaped like candies, she came to the royal palace hall in the castle.
As Illya sat on the throne, countless humanoids transformed from candies, bread, cakes, and chocolate bowed respectfully to Illya on the throne.
Suddenly, the sound of an explosion rang out. Sella stumbled into the royal palace hall and shouted to Illya with a stiff expression.
"Mistress, this is bad! The Demon King is attacking!"
