In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

Rin Tohsaka: "Hey, Father Mapo? There's going to be a big battle at the Fuyuki City Seaside Park in a bit. Be prepared to cover up the explosion. What do you mean I shouldn't stop them? My own body isn't even cooperating right now, and there are two divine Servants. How am I supposed to stop them?! You're asking me how to cover it up? How should I know? Just say it's a natural gas explosion."

Luvia: "Yes, that's right. I've already bought the park. Don't worry, just put all the losses from this battle on my tab. I'll pay for them, so don't worry. You just need to cover it up for us. Oh, by the way, I won't settle Rin Tohsaka's bill. Let her pay it herself later."

Rin Tohsaka: "???"

The two then put their phones back together.

"Why are you being so stingy at a time like this?"

Hearing what Luvia had just said, Rin Tohsaka gritted her teeth and inwardly cursed, "This evil capitalism!"

Just because you have money doesn't mean you're all that great.

Sorry, but having money means you can do whatever you want.

"Hmph, that's why I don't want you to take advantage of me. I've already bought this park; it's my private property. If you damaged it, of course you have to compensate me."

"you……!"

Rin Tohsaka's eyes widened.

Is this an attempt to make her hesitate to act rashly?

If you don't attack, you'll get beaten up; if you do attack, you'll incur huge debts.

What a vicious conspiracy!

only--

Putting aside the fact that Luvia is far from being that naive, such a scheme would also not work on Ishtar, who is the epitome of extreme narcissism.

"Your wealth? Hmph, the whole world belongs to me, Ishtar! All the wealth and every piece of land in the world belongs to me. I am the goddess of wealth, and I can do whatever I want with it!"

Ishtar regained her body, raised her chin, and said proudly, "Even if I blow you away, it is an honor for this land!"

This guy is truly beyond saving...

Upon hearing Ishtar's words, not only Astraea, but also Luvia and Rin Tohsaka had the same thought.

Ereshkigal even started to complain about how she ended up in the same pantheon as this thing.

Shamash and Enki should be highly respected and polite deities, so how did they end up with such a thing?

He single-handedly lowered the bar for the Sumerian pantheon.

No wonder Gilgamesh always complained about Ishtar when he was working for her; that girl was truly hopeless.

"Your shamelessness is beyond my imagination. Even Typhon, the legendary ancestor of all demons, was not as shameless and chaotic as you."

Facing a goddess like Ishtar, Astraea sighed and said slowly, "I can see that you haven't learned a single lesson from the last time."

"A lesson? It was nothing more than a sneak attack using the temple to conceal your class. Did you really think you could beat me?"

Ishtar narrowed her eyes, and golden light shone forth fully. "Without the temple, I will show you what true cruelty is!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Rin Tohsaka and Luvia fell completely silent.

Because she knew it was about to begin.

Although she could still influence Ishtar, that would undoubtedly anger her.

This will drive this already mentally unstable woman even more insane, and the affected area will definitely extend beyond just this park.

In order to avoid taking on more debt, all she could do at that moment was to remain silent as much as possible, and then wait and pray that they would finish soon.

At the same time, Rin Tohsaka thought of Lo Wei again, who had left home that morning.

She had never longed for him to appear by her side as much as she did today.

Judging from the current terrifying situation, if he doesn't come back soon, the entire Fuyuki City will be in grave danger.

-

Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone with Kirei Kotomine and hearing a series of explosions coming from the direction of the seaside park.

"..."

Lowe knew very well that the area would likely require large-scale post-disaster reconstruction.

You probably can't even find a single intact trash can in that park now.

And it's clearly daytime now.

But the colorful shooting stars that kept streaking across the sky were so eye-catching.

It's obvious without even thinking that it was Ishtar's gem magic.

Although from a distance, the activated gems look like dazzling shooting stars, constantly blooming into beautiful fireworks in the sky, in reality, each one has the destructive power of a bomb, capable of easily destroying a house.

This scene made Kiritsugu Emiya's heart skip a beat.

A Servant who openly wages war in broad daylight?

This was the first time he had ever seen it.

Inside the room, Ilya clapped her hands and looked up at the dazzling shooting stars in the sky, her eyes filled with longing.

It's a shooting star...

Are there shooting stars during the day?

As a child, she was pleasantly surprised.

However, her father, Kiritsugu Emiya, was twitching at the corner of his mouth.

He really didn't like those shooting stars at all.

However, no matter how much you dislike it, there are times when you simply cannot escape it.

and so……

“Let’s go, Archer, let’s stop them.”

Kiritsugu Emiya looked at Hercules, who was already poised to attack, and spoke.

Meanwhile, the most powerful hero named Hercules has also made the necessary preparations.

He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Understood. Let's set off, Master."

"Then Ilya, I'll leave Merry in your care."

As the temporary guardian of those two, Lovi was also preparing to set off with Kiritsugu Emiya, so he entrusted Illya to Merry's care.

To this, Meryl simply nodded.

"Leave it to me with confidence, there will be absolutely no mistakes."

"Thank you..."

Kiritsugu Emiya nodded slightly.

-

At this moment, in the seaside park.

Rumble, rumble—!!

After several minutes of bombardment, not a single intact chair could be found in the entire park.

And there were pits and black smoke everywhere, with a strong smell of gunpowder permeating the air.

Clearly, the two have already fought a war of attrition.

However, judging from the current situation, the two are still evenly matched.

After all, both are goddess Servants, so gem magic like this is probably just a minor skirmish before the battle even begins. Even if it actually hits them, it wouldn't cause them much damage.

The battle just now was merely a small test.

"Then let's try this..."

After checking that all the gems in her pocket were gone, Ishtar decided to move the battle directly to the next stage.

She crossed her arms and looked down at Astraea, saying to herself, "It's so boring to keep using these little tricks. Let's move on to the next stage and show you what you're really capable of, you muscular guy."

Then she tossed her long hair and said, "Do you dare to have a hand-to-hand fight with me? I'll show you what the perfect body and power of the Goddess of War are all about!"

It sounds nice, but in reality, Ishtar can no longer afford a war of attrition. Rin Tohsaka's few remaining gems have been depleted at this moment, which is why she found this excuse and then chose a fighting style that was more advantageous to her.

Using words to provoke the other party is utterly despicable.

only……

Even though she had guessed this, Astraea still didn't care. She cracked her neck and looked at Ishtar again, saying:

"That suits me perfectly; the warm-up is almost done."

"That's quite a boast."

Upon seeing that the plan had been completed, Ishtar revealed an undisguised smile. Then, she leaped off Maana and stood on the park's sidewalk, her eyes fixed on Astraea, who was walking towards her, ready for battle.

She pointed a finger at Astraea and said coldly, "You won't be so lucky this time. If it's about power, how dare a mere wild god clash with the Goddess of War? Watch me take you down—"

"Astraea!"

"A defeated opponent, what a boastful tone..."

Upon hearing this, Astraea's forehead veins bulged, but her steps were not affected by Ishtar's words at all. She strode steadily toward Ishtar on the sidewalk.

Seeing this, Ishtar laughed even more heartily.

She sneered, "Oh, after learning about my divine office, you're not afraid to retreat, but instead you're moving closer to me? You're not running away, but instead you're actively courting death?"

As she spoke, Ishtar also took a step forward and moved closer to Astraea.

"If I don't get close, how can I beat you up?"

As Astraea spoke in a low voice, she continued to approach Ishtar.

Upon seeing this, Ishtar couldn't help but laugh.

"What a foolish wild god. In that case, why not come a little closer to me?"

"As you wish."

And so, the two goddesses, who had initially been so aggressive, slowly walked to within five meters of each other.

Then, in the next instant, their auras suddenly erupted. This time, they did not suppress or restrain themselves at all, and each unleashed their strongest power.
