A compilation of memorable moments from Chaldea's girlfriends showing affection in various dime

The causal thread disappeared from her heart, and she actually used this trick to break the curse.

She fell heavily to the ground, sword in her right hand, and gritted her teeth as she endured the pain to get up. She quickly assessed her condition: the muscles below her shoulder had been pierced, but her heart and major arteries were unharmed, and she could continue fighting.

The Spear of Death Thorns returned to Cú Chulainn's hands once more.

"You dodged it, Saber! My killing blow!" Cú Chulainn's face was contorted with rage as he stared at the mysterious swordsman in front of him, whose hands were only below his shoulders.

The Death Thorn Spear tore a corner of Artoria's upper breastplate apart. "A curse... no, that was reversing cause and effect, piercing through the Death Thorn Spear. Your true name is the Child of Light of Ireland—!"

"Tch... What a blunder. We've already revealed this guy; if it's not a guaranteed kill, then things will be terrible."

Cú Chulainn did not continue his attack on the injured Artoria. With the Death Thorn Spear resting on his shoulder, he walked to the side of the King's Courtyard. "My employer is a coward. He said that if the attack is dodged, we should go back immediately."

"Are you trying to run away?!" Artoria's injuries could be healed with healing magic, but she still wanted to continue fighting.

She subconsciously believed that the young master who had summoned her from behind would soon cast a healing spell on her.

Strange, why hasn't Master healed me yet?

"I don't care if you chase after me. But you'd better be prepared to die." Cú Chulainn turned around and glanced at her, then the lucky boy quickly left the scene.

"Wait... Lancer!" Artoria stood up and shouted at Cú Chulainn's retreating figure.

Fate/stay night, UBW timeline.

Bazett watched the battle unfold on the screen and muttered to himself, "Cú Chulainn, it's Cú Chulainn...! I'm also a participant in this Holy Grail War. So who did I summon?"

She sat on Luvia's private jet, a cup of black tea in her hand, feeling a deep sense of regret. She had been preparing the relic with great anticipation in order to summon her idol, Cú Chulainn.

As a result, Cú Chulainn became someone else's Servant.

"Something's not right... I prepared the catalyst to summon Cú Chulainn, so why isn't Cú Chulainn my Servant??"

She hasn't performed the summoning ritual yet, but she already has the catalyst for the Cú Chulainn legend: a stone stained with Cú Chulainn's blood.

"Hehehe! Did someone else prepare the catalyst for Cú Chulainn and summon him before you? Caster and Lancer were both summoned. Is that why you couldn't summon Cú Chulainn?" Luvia smiled at Bazett. "That's really unfortunate."

"...Eh—! I still had work to finish before heading to Fuyuki City, otherwise this wouldn't have happened."

Bazette sighed deeply, leaning back in her chair with considerable disappointment. Damn it... who summoned her idol?

"It's okay, let me go with you~~ Let me go and have a good laugh at you."

"The poor, penniless magician, Rin Tohsaka." Luvia's face broke into a mischievous smile, her eyes already picturing the adorable expression on Rin Tohsaka's face when she visited her.

"Luvia, are you sure you want to come to Fuyuki City with me? Your magical power and soul are more valuable than ordinary people's. The Master who sets up magic circles at the school will definitely be after you. Let's part ways at the airport..." Bazett advised.

"Hehehe! It's alright, I already thought of that. That's why I recruited reliable bodyguards." Luvia clapped her hands with a smile.

Beside her sat a beautiful older woman who looked remarkably like Luvia. She wore a suit of golden armor, with olive leaf-shaped sashes draped over her shoulders, a Libra earring in her right ear, and a Sword of Justice earring in her left ear.

"Whoa...? This kid actually has a connection with my queen???" The ruthless Gilgamesh frowned, watching the scene with displeasure. "However, considering that this bastard successfully summoned her, I will grant you a complete corpse."

"A rabid dog's bite won't make you more pitiful. A dog is a dog and doesn't know how to appreciate women."

"Let me train her later and make her more like a princess."

"However, Kirei, I'm afraid your role as the mastermind will soon be exposed. What should you do now?"

Kirei Kotomine lowered his head in thought. He currently had no Command Seals of his own Master, nor any Heroic Spirit of his own. He guessed that Cú Chulainn's Master was the one he had summoned by taking Bazett's Command Seals and using the catalyst according to his original plan.

This is a terrible situation. What if Bazett finds out that I stole her Command Seals...?

He was no match for Bazett, one of the strongest designated seals.

The Reverse Light Sword could easily take his life.

The Atlantic Outer Belt.

"Hmph, this trick will have a hard time working on King Arthur," Jason said.

“It’s indeed difficult for Cú Chulainn to achieve the desired effect when he uses this technique without knowing Artoria’s true name. The power of destiny is very strong for those who become legendary figures. Even though King Arthur’s final fate was not happy, she still possessed a very strong destiny. Among so many people in the entire British Isles, she was the only one chosen to become King Arthur,” Helena said with a smile.

"In other words, as long as Cú Chulainn is facing a king or a famous heroic spirit, the curse of the Death Thorn Spear is basically unable to change their fate," Edison laughed loudly.

"That means a great inventor like me isn't afraid of this trick at all!"

Tesla couldn't bear to mock Edison.

In his view, Edison would definitely be hit by the Death Thorn Spear, so that he could easily avoid the causal effects of the Death Thorn Spear.

Even Zeus was no match for him, and he didn't take the cursed magic spear seriously at all.

The Mysterious Belt of Kyushu: Chen Gong and Red Hare.

"Eh... I can't see my invincible father anymore. The father who appeared here is in a state where his sword has lost its sheath. Father actually got hurt by such a Noble Phantasm. It's all Shirou Emiya's fault!! He couldn't help at all. Didn't he know to help Father release an instant enhancement magic?"

Mordred was used to Fujimaru Ritsuka's timely assistance magic, and seeing Emiya Shirou standing there dumbfounded gave her a terrible headache.

Shirou Emiya and Hinako Akuta are now on the same level as master.

"Hush hush hush hush! Emiya Shirou, Akuta Hinako, the master behind Cú Chulainn, the master who commands Servants to set up a vampire barrier at the school, what kind of strange masters are these...??"

Red Hare was very glad that it didn't appear in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. If it encountered a Master like that, it would kick the opponent to death with one hoof and quickly return to the Throne of Heroes.

Want to become your own master? Take this kick first!

Upon hearing this, Hinako's face darkened, and she glared angrily at Red Hare, feeling that Red Hare was subtly criticizing her.

She is at least capable of fighting alongside Lanling Wang, although, like Emiya Shirou, she often stands still in one place.

Lanling Wang covered his face and shook his head, saying, "You can't blame Shirou Emiya for this. Although he has been exposed to some magic, Shirou Emiya is, in general, an ordinary person who gets involved in mysterious events. It's already quite good that he didn't scream, scream, or run away in panic."

"As expected of Emiya's younger form, she was already so resilient even when she was just an ordinary person... No wonder she became one of the most resilient Servants after becoming a Heroic Spirit."

Leonardo da Vinci has never forgotten Shirou Emiya, who lay in the icy seawater for hours without dying.

If it were any other heroic spirit, they would have disappeared long ago. How could they possibly be lying there for such a long time?

Qin Liangyu looked at the screen in confusion and said, "Why is the power of the heroic spirits that appeared in the pan-human history so much weaker than yours? Our battle on the plains destroyed the surrounding ground."

"The magical power in the Kyushu Lostbelt, while not reaching the level of the Age of Gods, is very close. The Heroic Spirits summoned using the magical power of the spiritual veins here have a large reserve of magical power. But the Heroic Spirits summoned in the Holy Grail War have very little reserve of magical power; they all rely on their masters to provide magical power. That's the difference," Leonardo da Vinci analyzed.

"Heroic spirits who retain their original bodies are stronger, possessing ample power stored within their own flesh and blood, allowing them to defeat enemies."

"Recovering physical strength through a short rest is equivalent to Master recovering magical power."

"If it were King Arthur in his previous life here, the battle would probably be over by now. The living her possesses the power of the Dragon's Heart, which allows her to replenish her magic through breathing, and her magic is inexhaustible. As long as her physical strength is not exhausted, her magic will not run out first."

"Hmm... Father is an ever-victorious king. He can lead his knights to fight his way in and out of enemy forces that outnumber him many times over! One-on-one battles could never exhaust Father's stamina."

Even if Artoria is injured, she is invincible in Mordred's heart. This is just a minor injury for her father!

Even though his father was covered in wounds, he could still wield the Holy Lance Rungomminiad and stab himself to death!

"Idiot...that guy!" Seeing the girl injured but still chasing after her, the righteous hero finally snapped out of his daze and rushed over. "Hey, are you alright?"

He looked worriedly at the wound on the mysterious girl's shoulder. The length of the wound meant she needed to go to the hospital immediately and have her skin stitched up.

Suddenly, the damaged clothes and armor on Artoria's shoulders automatically recovered. These were armor and clothes made of magic, but the wounds had not yet fully healed; the wounds caused by the cursed magic spear had a cursed effect.

"Who...who are you?!" Shirou Emiya was stunned. Not only had his armor been restored, but even the bloodstains on his clothes had disappeared.

“As you can see, I am a Saber-class Servant.” Artoria calmly gazed at Shirou Emiya. “So just call me Saber.”

"My name is Shirou, Emiya Shirou."

"Emiya...?" Artoria looked at the boy with weak magical power in front of her in surprise. Emiya... could he be...?

Several thoughts flashed through her mind, and she remembered the man who had ordered her to shatter the Holy Grail—Emiya Kiritsugu.

"This house... no, that's not right. That's not what I wanted to ask." Looking at the beautiful, mysterious girl in front of him, Shirou Emiya blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“I know. You’re not a proper master, right? But even so, you’re still my master.”

Artoria Pendragon looked into the boy's clear eyes. Even if she had to form a contract with an immature master, she didn't want to become Kiritsugu Emiya's Heroic Spirit.

"Wait a minute...! Isn't it strange that you're suddenly calling me master?" Shirou Emiya said, puzzled. He didn't know what "master" meant and it felt odd.

“Then I’ll call you Shirou. Hmm… I prefer that pronunciation too.” Artoria turned around and looked at the familiar mansion in front of her; she and Irisviel had been here before.

"Eh—..!" Shirou Emiya reacted as slowly as a sloth, only now noticing the strange red tattoo on the back of his hand. "What, what is this?"

"This is something called a Command Seal, please don't use it carelessly." Suddenly, Artoria turned to look at Shirou Emiya, pointing to her shoulder, "Shirou, please treat my wound."

She sensed two auras rapidly approaching, likely Masters and Heroic Spirits drawn by the sound of her fight with Lancer.

She needs to recover from her injuries and continue fighting.

"Are you talking to me?" Shirou Emiya paused, looking at Artoria with extreme embarrassment, and said, "I'm sorry... such a difficult magic trick..."

He only knows one way to heal or restore a Servant's magic: primal power!

"Then let's meet them head-on!" Artoria stomped her foot on the ground and landed on the roof of the house. "There are two enemies outside. We should be fine after another battle."

She bent down and rushed straight toward the direction emanating magic, ignoring her master's lack of expertise.

Now she can only fight based on her own experience.

She chose to keep the enemy outside the mansion, preventing them from getting close to her master. If the enemy chose to kill her master, given her current state... it would be difficult for her to fight the Heroic Spirit while also defending against an attack launched by the enemy's master against her own.

"Enemies outside!?" Shirou Emiya stared at the mysterious girl who had vanished from sight, completely bewildered. "What's going on...?"

Although she displayed immense power, the somewhat simple-minded Shirou Emiya subconsciously regarded her as an ordinary woman.

On the street outside the mansion, a few streetlights stood empty, lacking some ornaments.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya landed on the ground with a puzzled expression. One wave of magical energy receded, only to be replaced by a new one. "Wait, Rin—!! There's more than one Servant's aura!!"

Rin Tohsaka, who was rushing to save Shirou Emiya, had already arrived at the Emiya residence. Hearing Archer's reminder, she turned around in surprise to look at Archer. There was another one...!?

Just then, Artoria spotted the girl radiating magical energy standing on the street. Without hesitation, she rushed down. Now that the girl's Heroic Spirit was not by her side, this was the perfect opportunity to kill her Master.

She swung her sword down fiercely, and—clang!—the holy sword, imbued with the Wind King's barrier, struck the dry blade.

Just then, the Heroic Spirit Emiya appeared beside Rin Tohsaka, pushing her back and parrying with his short sword Kansho. In a short time, he managed to force Artoria to take a step back.

He continued charging forward, preparing to use his dual-sword style to entangle his opponent at close range, keeping Rin Tohsaka within a safe distance.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya raised his head and slashed at the enemy, his eyes filled with shock. Artoria!? He quickly stomped on the ground to stop himself, his momentary shock leaving him with a fatal opening.

This opening was fatal. Artoria didn't recognize the Heroic Spirit in front of her. When she saw the enemy's movements freeze, she rushed forward without thinking and unleashed a series of slashes!

Swish-!

She can't exert the strength of one hand on her shoulder and hand, but the force of her slash is still very heavy. The hand of the Heroic Spirit Emiya holding Gan Jiang is a little numb. Fighting King Arthur with one hand is truly commendable!

He was still reeling from the shock of encountering someone from his past. Standing beside Rin Tohsaka, who was sitting on the ground, he stared in utter astonishment at the person he had failed to save in the past...

The Heroic Spirit Emiya gritted his teeth, his feelings incredibly complex. The Master who summoned Artoria was still Emiya Shirou, and the events happening in this world were remarkably similar to those in his previous life.

Artoria calmly gazed at the enemy before her. Her weapon in one hand was a sword about forty centimeters long, while her right hand was unarmed. She was trying to guess what class the Servant before her was; it was very strange.

With an intelligent gaze, that's not Berserker; without a hidden aura, he's probably not Assassin either.

That's either Rider or Archer.

Rin Tohsaka sat on the ground, staring blankly at the mysterious girl in front of her, noticing her stance, "That's... a Servant named Saber!?"

The Heroic Spirit Emiya stood stiffly in front of Rin Tohsaka, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to escape safely from Artoria's grasp with Rin.

He dared not turn around, and could only stand still in a defensive stance. Knowing Artoria as he did, he knew that she, who was now eager to obtain the Holy Grail, would not stop just because of his words.

If he reveals a weakness, he could very well be killed here by his former partner.

This is truly fate playing a cruel joke on me.

His master, Rin Tohsaka, is currently offline, sitting on the ground like a duck, not yet getting up, much like Hinako Akuta, causing headaches for the Heroic Spirits.

Hearing the commotion at the door, Shirou Emiya rushed over and discovered that his classmate Rin Tohsaka had almost been killed by Saber. He instinctively reached out and shouted, "Stop, Saber!!"

He didn't even chant the incantation; the strong desire in his mind to make Saber stop activated the Command Spell for him.

The powerful binding force of the Command Seals controlled Artoria's speed. She gritted her teeth, turned to look at Shirou Emiya, and her clear eyes showed annoyance. She asked in confusion, "Are you serious!? Shirou???? We were almost defeated just now, what are you doing!?"

Her intuition told her that she could kill the dual-wielding Heroic Spirit in front of her in one round of combat.

Now, however, she was thwarted by her master, which infuriated her, as victory was within her grasp.

"Wait... Saber!! I'm completely confused. If you're calling me Master, at least explain it to me...!"
