I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

Gu Ye nodded. "What about W? Should we call her?"

"Don't worry about her."

Kitagawa Kaimu gestured towards a guest room in the corner, "That Sarkaz lady has been locked in her room since this morning, wearing headphones, playing some game, and constantly muttering things like 'small fish' and 'die,' it's terrifying."

Gu Ye imagined the scene and decided not to disturb the demolition expert's enjoyment.

"How could Mei be missing!"

With that, Kitagawa Kaimu rushed into another room, shouting, "Mei! Stop reading! Let's go shopping!"

A moment later, Raiden Mei was half-pushed and half-pulled out by Kitagawa Kaimu, who was full of excitement.

"Are you going shopping? That's great, I was just thinking of going out for a walk too."

When Raiden Mei saw that everyone was there, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

Thus, the trio naturally became a five-person team.

You mean Rin?

Stop fooling around, she still has to go to school.

Medea's destination was very clear—the largest shopping mall in downtown Fuyuki.

The bright lights, the dazzling array of goods, and the bustling crowds left Artoria, who was experiencing all of this for the first time, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

Wow! This place is amazing!

As soon as Kitagawa Kaimu entered, she exclaimed in amazement, "It feels even bigger than a shopping mall in Tokyo!"

"Keep up, our target is the women's clothing section."

Medea's goal was very clear; she took Artoria's hand and headed straight for the elevator.

Soon, a grand costume-changing extravaganza centered around the Knight King began.

"Saber, try this on!"

Medea took a black Gothic Lolita dress with an intricate design from the hanger. The hem of the dress was adorned with layers of lace and bows, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"And this one! This Mori Girl style dress would be absolutely perfect for Miss Saber!"

Kitagawa Kaimu was also completely ignited. Holding a cream-colored cotton and linen dress, she leaned closer with shining eyes.

"Um...aren't these clothes a bit too..."

Artoria looked at the clothes the two men handed her, a troubled expression on her face. The designs of these garments were far removed from her understanding of "clothes."

"That's not true! Come on, let's go in and change!"

Medea and Kitagawa Kaimu, one on each side, pushed Artoria into the fitting room without giving her a chance to explain.

A moment later, when the curtain of the fitting room was drawn back and the Knight King, dressed in a black Gothic Lolita dress, appeared before everyone, Medea sighed with satisfaction, while Kitagawa Kaimu excitedly took out her phone and started taking pictures.

"Amazing! It's like she stepped right out of a painting!"

"Hmm...it feels a bit strange."

Artoria tugged at the hem of her skirt somewhat uncomfortably.

"Not surprising at all, very cute."

Gu Ye leaned to the side and gave a fair assessment.

"If Master says so too..."

Having received her Master's affirmation, Artoria's expression relaxed slightly.

"Alright, next one!"

And so, under the guidance of Medea and Kitagawa Kaimu, Artoria tried on almost every style of clothing in the store.

Age-appropriate bar

From lively sexy mini skirts to sophisticated professional women's clothing, and then to elegant kimonos, each outfit change drew gasps of amazement and a flurry of photos from the two women.

"Hey, you two, don't just focus on Saber."

Looking at the shopping bags that were already full in his hands, Gu Ye said helplessly, "Shouldn't we pick out a few things for Gu Ye-jun too?"

"Ah, that's right!"

Kitagawa Kaimu clapped her hands and immediately shifted her focus to Gu Ye, "Gu Ye-kun has such a great figure, he looks good in everything! Let's go check out the men's clothing section!"

So, the second half turned into Gu Ye's costume change show.

Medea's eye for style remained sharp; the casual suits and trench coats she selected perfectly complemented Gu Ye's calm and aloof demeanor.

"Not bad, Master."

Medea nodded in satisfaction. "You look much more energetic than in your usual hoodies."

"I think Gu Yejun looks incredibly handsome in this jacket!"

Kitagawa Kaimu held up a bomber jacket with an exaggerated pattern and enthusiastically recommended it.

Artoria stood to the side, watching the enthusiastic crowd, and then looked at the white dress she had finally chosen. A gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

This peaceful yet lively daily life was a luxury she had never experienced as a queen.

Before we knew it, the afterglow of the setting sun had already streamed through the glass skylight of the mall, bathing the entire floor in a warm orange-red hue.

"It's getting late, we should go back."

Gu Ye glanced at his watch and spoke.

"Huh? Is it already dusk?"

Kitagawa Kaimu said, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

"That's it for today."

Medea stretched and said, "I've had a very fruitful harvest, and I'm quite satisfied."

The five people returned home laden with shopping bags of all sizes.

Walking along the street stretched long by the setting sun, Artoria looked at her companions and felt a warm current welling up in her heart.

Perhaps this is the world she truly wanted to witness after the Holy Grail War ended.

However, when they were still one street away from the Tohsaka family's residence, a sudden appearance of a nail-shaped dagger halted their progress.

Chapter 54 An unexpected encounter with Shinji Matou – perhaps it's best to kill him.

The orange-red sunset stretched the shadows of the buildings, casting jagged, dark shadows on the ground.

The group, carrying shopping bags, chatted and laughed, their voices echoing through the quiet street.

Suddenly, Medea stopped in her tracks, her azure eyes snapping towards the deepest shadow at the street corner.

Almost simultaneously, a sharp whooshing sound tore through the air, and a black chain connected to a nail-shaped dagger shot out from the shadows, its target precisely aimed at her throat.

"Has it finally arrived? A rat hiding its head and tail."

Medea didn't even turn around; a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips as a purple barrier constructed of magic instantly unfolded in front of her.

With a crisp "clang!", the chain lock was precisely snapped open, sparks flying everywhere.

A tall and agile purple figure emerged from the shadows and landed steadily on the street lamp.

She wore an eyepatch that sealed her demonic eye, her long purple hair fluttering in the evening breeze, and she held the other end of a chain in her hand—it was Rider Medusa.

"who!"

Kitagawa Kaimu screamed in fright at the sudden turn of events, dropping her shopping bag to the ground.

Raiden Mei immediately shielded her behind her, her eyes sharpening: "It's an enemy!"

"Leave it to me, Master!"

Artoria handed the shopping bag to Gu Ye, her right hand already resting on the invisible hilt of a sword in the air, her fierce fighting spirit erupting instantly.

"No need, Saber."

Gu Ye's voice rang out calmly. He reached out and pressed down on Artoria's hand, which was about to draw her sword. "You overexerted yourself yesterday. Now is not the time for you to step in. Just watch."

"But Master, I have already recovered."

Artoria was somewhat anxious.

"This is an order."

Gu Ye's tone left no room for argument. He took a step forward and stood side by side with Raiden Mei.

"Mei."

"clear."

The two didn't even need to exchange a word. The next second, two completely different and powerful beings appeared behind them simultaneously.

One is a humanoid stand made of blue and white clouds, with a blurry figure—the Weather Forecast; the other is the Herrscher Queen with two horns on her forehead and her body wrapped in purple lightning—the Thunder Queen.

"Oh?"

The Rider on the streetlight let out a soft hum, and its figure vanished instantly.

"Don't try to succeed!"

The Thunder Queen's voice was arrogant and cold. She too transformed into a streak of purple lightning and charged toward the direction where Rider had disappeared.

In mid-air, two purple figures collided violently at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive, and sparks from the clash of weapons exploded like dense starlight.

"You have more than one opponent."

Gu Ye's voice rang out on the street.

The weather forecaster stretched out his hand and waved it gently in Rider's direction.

The wind suddenly rises!

The once peaceful street was suddenly swept by strong winds comparable to a typhoon, causing the roadside trees to sway wildly.

Rider's movements were clearly affected, and her speed advantage was greatly diminished by the unstable airflow.

"cut!"

Rider flipped in mid-air, trying to create distance between himself and the Queen of Thunder.

"too slow!"

The Queen of Thunder's attacks were relentless, her lightning-infused katana tracing deadly paths in her hand, each strike pushing Rider to the brink of death.

"Hahahaha! Kill her, Rider! Let that damned witch see what you're made of!"

A shrill, triumphant voice came from the street corner.

Shinji Matou strode out with what he thought was a cool gait, his hands in his school uniform pockets. His seaweed-like curly hair swayed in the wind, and a twisted, gleeful smile played on his lips.

"Caster! You didn't expect that, did you! You actually dared to leave your doghouse, today is your day to die..."

?○?樲②８彡澪⑼８

His words caught in his throat halfway through.

He saw it.

He saw his Servant, the Rider he was so proud of, being beaten to the ground by a woman whose body was covered in electric electricity, while another monster whose shape he couldn't see was just standing there, making it incredibly difficult for the Rider to move.

"What...what's going on? Who are you guys?!"

Shinji Matou's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his smugness turned into shock and fear.

Rider also noticed the extremely unfavorable situation. She feinted, then suddenly leaped backward, disappearing into the shadows of the building in a few flashes.

"Master, retreat!"

Her voice came from afar, decisive and swift.

Hey! Rider! Don't leave me all alone!

Shinji Matou cried out in alarm. Just as he was about to extract the book of the false patron, a bolt of lightning struck his arm, causing the book to fly away.

Shinji Matou yelled, "Damn it! Rider, you lied to me!"
