The Dojo-and-Kitchen Showdown

When the card was finally revealed, it showed a girl with black hair in pigtails, holding a strange golden machine, looking exactly like the person holding the phone.

"Huh? Why?!" Rin Tohsaka exclaimed in surprise.

"This is Ishtar- chan! If you perform a possession summon, you'll become the real Ishtar!" Gudako said with a grin.

"Huh? What do I do?" Rin Tohsaka asked, puzzled.

"Just press it like this, I guess~!" Gudako said.

"Press here?"

When the girl's finger touched the card, the living room of the Emiya Residence, now the Tohsaka Estate, was instantly enveloped in a bright golden light, Gudako quickly covered her eyes.

After the pillar of light disappeared, the goddess descended upon Fuyuki City. Rin Tohsaka checked her physical condition and found that this body was a perfect match, reaching a level of 100%.

"Hmm?" Rin Tohsaka read the memories coming from her mind. This body originally belonged to her, but the one driving the body was the guardian goddess of Uruk, which formed a completely new Servant.

Now, through possession and summoning, she has regained control of her will. Since both sides are essentially her own person, she has no obstacles in using her body to fight or move, and is very adept at it.

"So, I, from another world, experienced something like this... actually merging my physical body with a goddess. Should I be happy or sigh? But complaining is useless... It seems that once you're involved with the Holy Grail, even if you dismantle the Greater Holy Grail, you still can't get rid of it." The girl said helplessly, covering her face.

"But now that I've obtained the Servant's memories, I finally understand what exactly happened with Chaldea saving Human Order. It's amazing you're still alive and well." Rin Tohsaka smiled helplessly, looked at the somewhat unreliable girl again, reached out and patted her head, saying, "Gudako, thank you for your hard work in protecting Human Order. I'm really grateful."

"Hehe, it's not that great~!" Gudako smiled and squinted her eyes as she felt the soft, warm hand resting on her head.

Bang bang bang!

The ground was trembling slightly. Even though there was no wind, the fallen leaves on the road were rippling and swaying. It was as if some enormous creature was moving nearby, and the sound was getting louder, as if it was approaching.

Rin Tohsaka quickly retreated and leaned against the wall, carefully hiding herself. Berserker, on the other side of the path, walked step by step, each step causing the ground to tremble.

"Roar roar roar roar roar roar!!!!"

A giant, 2.5 meters tall, roared as he walked past, like a dark mountain. His entire body was covered in hard, bulging muscles, and his eyes flashed with a dangerous red light in the darkness, as if he were surveying his territory.

These were not the Shadow Servant without Noble Phantasm, but far more terrifying monsters. The dense black aura they emitted was a manifestation of twisted magical power, like Black Mud, providing the Servant with a massive source of magical energy and causing them to become even more berserk.

The black-haired girl finally let out a long sigh and complained:

"Tsk... As expected, the Great Hero has appeared, and he's not in his Master form at all. He's emanating a strange black aura. Just how monstrous does he have to be? This feels really ominous."

She dared not linger there and turned back towards the mansion. Relying solely on the power of Servant, let alone whether she could defeat a Berserker with the Twelve Labors, even if she were to simply run into him, it would be a mutually destructive fight, no matter how hard she tried. With so many doubts swirling in her mind, she absolutely could not take such a risk.

The next morning, Rin told Gudako about it after she woke up.

"Then what should we do?" Gudako asked, puzzled.

"There's no way around it. Servant shrouded in black energy possess astonishing magical power; they're not monsters you can fight one-on-one. Possession summoning is ultimately too weak, and besides, we're facing more than just one monster."

If I get seriously injured, everything will be over. I can only try to increase my combat strength. My Command Spells aren't bound, so I should be able to summon again."

"Rin-senpai, didn't you want to summon Servant? Why did you change your mind?" Gudako wondered.

"I didn't say I wouldn't do it! I understand, I'll summon, okay?" Rin Tohsaka gritted her teeth and agreed, her face flushed.

"Please, please summon Saber this time!" the two black-haired women said, clasping their hands together in prayer.

"Saber? Does Rin-senpai have a target she wants to summon?" Gudako asked. In Chaldea's Heroic Spirit Summoning System, although you can summon an unlimited number of Heroic Spirits as long as you provide energy, the success rate of the summon is completely unpredictable. When it comes to Saber, the one in red usually appears.

That was her decadent, obese state, not her prime. Although she was very famous, she wasn't that strong. That Red Saber's strongest abilities were probably her manipulative deception and her speed when rolling on the snow, which was quite fast, comparable to most Riders.

"Yes! It's Saber! Not red! Definitely not some red archer who likes to play melee!" Rin Tohsaka emphasized twice.

"Red archers? I think I recognize some of those guys." Gudako blinked and said.

"To increase the probability of summoning a Heroic Servant, I need a Sacred Relic to act as a medium. But what should I use? It's a pity that with Kiritsugu Emiya's death, the scabbard is no longer available." Rin Tohsaka said, pacing back and forth, deep in thought.

"Rice bowl! Wooden sword? Or me?" the black-haired girl shouted, grabbing her head in frustration. "Damn it, I can't get around that guy!"

"..." For some reason, Gudako silently watched Rin pacing back and forth, and somehow sensed an Asura Field, as if things were about to take an interesting turn...

"Ugh! My head is getting sore from thinking about it! Enough! If I summon that guy, I'll just kick him first!"

The girl made up her mind, led Gudako to the mansion's warehouse, took out the prepared animal blood, arranged the items for the spirit summoning ritual, took two steps back, and began chanting the incantation.

In the universe, within our solar system, there are three blue-green planets. Each of them is real, yet they appear as transparent shadows. The three planets overlap and merge together, forming a spherical aggregate.

The celestial bodies are incredibly close, like triplets born together in the womb. Yet, due to the invisible Gobi Desert, they exist in different spaces and cannot detect each other's existence.

One of Earths is the world where Shirou lives in this life.

On the nearby Earth, a black-haired girl was setting up a summoning circle to Heroic Spirit Summoning.

At this moment, Shirou also arrived in this world. According to the Alaya and Gaia creation system, he located the coordinates of this world. This alien world is unstable. He had just stepped into the passage through the parallel world and was summoned there.

With a thud, Shirou was thrown directly onto the pile of junk in the warehouse.

"Honestly, the Counter Force really isn't very reliable," Shirou said helplessly, pushing himself up with one hand.

Surrounded by the dense fog formed by magic, looking at the surroundings, it all feels so familiar...

"Here it is?"

Shirou had just stood up when he felt a gust of wind rush towards him, and a figure raised its leg and delivered a flying kick.

"It really was you, you bastard! You'd better eat my leg first!" the black-haired girl roared angrily.

"Huh? Why are we fighting with the Servant finally managed to summon?" Gudako asked in confusion.

No sooner said than done!

Shirou quickly shifted his weight, leaned back forcefully, and reached out to grab the long leg that was attacking him.

The long leg was encased in black stockings, smooth and supple. The calf I held, due to regular exercise, didn't have much soft flesh; the slender calf could be grasped tightly with one hand, and my palm could feel its full, elastic texture brimming with healthy vitality.

"Wait, calm down, Rin." Shirou followed the long legs to the black-haired girl at the other end, and said with a light laugh, "But, it's really thanks to you for finding me."

Rin Tohsaka tossed her twin braids aside, crossed her arms, and turned her head away, looking annoyed. "Hmph! Who's going to bother looking for you? You're such a stubborn girl, just leave her to fend for herself!"

Rin here has never met Shirou before; it turns out she's on a different timeline than the one who came to Shirou's world. In fact, this is also the first time Gudako has met Shirou.

"Um... hello?" Gudako tilted her head and said.

"I'm Shirou. Well, although our timelines are different, which makes things a bit confusing, you just need to know that I'm your comrade. Mash also came to my world," Shirou said.

"Ah! I see! Is Mash alright?" Gudako eyes lighting up.

"Yes, she's very active. She's in high school and has helped us a lot. Now that I'm here, I believe it won't be long before you're able to reunite with her," Shirou said.

"I understand! Please take good care of me Shirou-senpai!" Gudako said with a bright smile.

"Yes, please guide me," Shirou replied.

"Hey! Shirou! Are you alright? Saber's not here this time, which means one less hindrance." Rin, watching Shirou chatting and laughing with the girl, felt a surge of anger and cracked her knuckles as she said, "How about we spar a little? I'll be careful not to beat you to a pulp."

"Oh, you've grown up now?" Shirou said with a light laugh. For some reason, whenever he was facing this girl, he always felt a stronger urge to admit defeat.

Rin Tohsaka, enraged, laughed coldly and waved her hand, saying, "Come into the dojo! I'll show you the world-renowned Chinese martial arts!"

Chapter 397 The Battle of the Dojo Kitchen

Inside the former Emiya Residence's dojo, the sound of steel clashing violently echoed, the attacks blurring into afterimages. Even more astonishingly, it was the sound of blades clashing with fists.

Rin Tohsaka, possessing Ishtar, had her fists enhanced with Jewel Magecraft, emitting a golden light. Completely unfazed by the sharpness of weapons, she unleashed a series of powerful punches.

Shirou and Rin Tohsaka clashed, with the black-haired girl displaying an astonishing killing intent. Although both were archers, one wielded two swords and charged forward, while the other charged directly at him, swinging her fists and occasionally delivering a devastating kick.

"Both of them are so strong... but..." Gudako sighed helplessly.

'Why is it all close combat!?' Gudako shouted at the sky in her mind, complaining bitterly. What's wrong with these guys who ignore their class?

But think about it, Merlin, who is considered the leading representative of European Magecraft, had the nickname "Britain Sword Saint," and even taught King Arthur basic swordsmanship. It's easy to imagine how unproductive Magecraft really are.

Ultimately, most people who can be called Magecraft are strange individuals; very few are normal.

Especially after witnessing the destructive power of singing, the red and white swimsuit-clad Caster who was even stronger than Beam Cannon, and the Halloween Caster who launched her companions and gourd of wine like rocket launchers, she became even more certain of this.

That so-called guardian girl is only good for fooling little brats like Ibaraki. But the bib outfit is a plus; it's cute enough!

A gust of wind blew up, making Gudako's hair fly high into the air.

Then another knife was smashed away.

Gudako quickly crouched down, and the knife just missed Gudako head, disappearing before hitting the dojo wall.

'It's terrifying when couples argue, especially when you have a girlfriend with Servant -level power...' Gudako thought to herself, quietly retreating to keep her distance from the battlefield. Although it looked interesting, getting caught in the crossfire could be dangerous.

After her rebirth, Rin Tohsaka underwent ten years of training. Although she still had the body of a frail young woman, her progress was much faster thanks to her experience from her previous life. The more correct training methods were of great help to her.

Before her rebirth, when she first entered the Clock Tower, she was slammed to the ground by Luviagelita Edelfelt the Drill Woman, the crane among ladies.

On the one hand, it was due to insufficient preparation, and on the other hand, it was due to a lack of experience. At this time, Luviagelita Edelfelt had already received guidance from Lord El-Melloi II before entering the school, and her strength had been effectively improved compared to before entering the school.

After that, she adjusted her stance, relying on the combat experience she had gained from participating in the Holy Grail War and the fierce determination to never admit defeat, and managed to regain some ground in the second round. In the end, she could only manage a draw, ending in a tragic defeat.

However, the student dormitory reception desk collapsed because of their battle, resulting in her being kicked out of the dormitory and permanently banned from entering. She had no choice but to rent a place outside with Shirou.

Since then, she has made thorough preparations, crammed on knowledge in all aspects, and successfully bribed her teacher by asking Sister Fuji to find some antique video games. She then became a student of Lord El-Melloi II in the Department of Department of Modern Magecraft, and only after putting in all her effort did she finally manage to fight Luviagelita Edelfelt to a draw.

In terms of talent, she and Luviagelita Edelfelt are arguably geniuses of equal stature.

She has hundreds of Magic Circuit, 40 main ones and 30 auxiliary ones each. Her Magecraft attributes are the Five Great Elements, possessing adaptability to earth, water, fire, wind, and air, allowing her to freely use Magecraft of various attributes.

The Magecraft property is transformation; it allows magic to be infused into gems for use.

Luviagelita Edelfelt's Magic Circuit are comparable to Tohsaka's, with similar magic output and total amount. Her Magecraft attribute is 'Earth', making her less versatile than Tohsaka. However, she possesses two inherited traits: one is 'Conversion', the same as Tohsaka's, and the other is 'Sisterhood', which helps her to perfect her Magecraft.

They are said to be incompatible according to their birth charts, born to clash.

Whether it's running for student leader, competing in Magecraft, fighting, or even finding a boyfriend... they all seem to be colliding at the same time.

However, Luviagelita Edelfelt comes from the prestigious Edelfelt family of Finland, one of the top conglomerates in Europe. They travel by private jet and own villas in every country – truly wealthy families. Rin Tohsaka, on the other hand, is a pseudo-rich heiress who has to live frugally in order to study Magecraft.

What grudge could there be? It's just that my grandfather beat your grandmother back to her hometown and slept with your great-aunt!

Even now, when Rin Tohsaka thinks about her greatest rival in life, she still wants to beat up that nouveau riche, drill-headed guy. Although she always maintained the upper hand in matters of the heart, she was still dumped in the end.

She had clearly stated, in an attempt to win him back, that she would return to Fuyuki to get married after graduation! But even with the Thames River as their witness, that stubborn man still dumped her!!!

The black-haired girl unleashed a murderous aura at this moment; what was originally just a friendly sparring move had taken on a deadly intensity.

Shirou was startled, feeling that the opponent's punches were even faster, almost like a Berserker!

This demonstrates just how important experience is.

Having a physical body is a very important thing.

If one is Servant, possessing only a spiritual body, one can only act by relying on magic power. This magic power is also subject to being idle. When too much magic power is consumed, one will become weak, and even the Spirit Origin cannot remain stable. In this situation, there is no way to carry out any training independently.

Only the Servant of Chaldea, because they have a Master who completely trusts Servant, are willing to undergo various dangerous trials with these Servant in dreams or simulated spaces, allowing the Servant to awaken their beliefs from their past lives, regain their power, and even achieve sublimation.

At this moment, the outcome was finally decided.

Shirou stopped his sword strike, bringing it to rest against Rin Tohsaka's neck. He smiled slightly at the girl, everything unspoken.

Fortunately, Shirou had witnessed various powerful black mud Heroic Spirit during his overseas exchange program. In addition to their amazing Noble Phantasm, he had also seen a variety of powerful martial arts techniques. The fist technique used by the girl just happened to be one of them.

Compared to Master Li's profound and extensive Chinese martial arts, the girl's current powerful Baji Quan is only a beginner's level. Shirou waited for the girl's Mountain Push Palm, anticipated her move, and used his twin swords to block the girl's neck, gaining the opportunity to win.

The black-haired girl was about to admit defeat, but seeing the man's smirking lips, she was filled with rage. Gritting her teeth, she ignored the blade and charged forward with a punch.

"Idiot..." Shirou quickly sheathed his sword to avoid cutting the girl. The girl, however, delivered a merciless punch to Shirou's face, sending him flying.

"Waaah... Angry women are so heartless..." Gudako said sadly, covering her face.

"Ah, after venting, I feel so much better. In Fuyuki City, I don't even have a sparring partner for my daily sparring. Anyway... welcome home, Shirou." Rin Tohsaka stretched out her arms and smiled at the man.

"Oh, I'm back, Tohsaka ~!" Shirou replied with a smile.

'... They were fighting tooth and nail just a moment ago, and now they're laughing again, and they're so in sync...' Gudako thought to herself, 'Something's definitely up!'

"Gurgle..." Gudako's stomach rumbled at that moment.

"What? Gudako's already hungry?" Shirou said, amused.

"Eek, watching the match is really tiring, isn't it?" Gudako scratched the back of her head sheepishly, thinking, 'Watching you gods fight must be exhausting!'

"Alright! I'm hungry after exercising, so I'll take this opportunity to make Chinese fried rice!" Rin Tohsaka said, raising one arm and rolling up her sleeve.

"Eh? Can Rin-senpai cook? Maybe we should let Shirou-senpai do it." Gudako said with great doubt. Having witnessed Shirou's fighting skills and heard Rin mention that the original head of household here was named Emiya, the girl had a rough idea of Shirou's identity.

Judging from Rin's ferocious fist techniques and destructive muscles displayed at the dojo, she should be a muscular heroine on the battlefield. As for cooking... I hope she doesn't make anything weird...

Moreover, she genuinely missed the chef's cooking, who had been missing from Chaldea for some time.

"Don't worry, Tohsaka's cooking is delicious. Speaking of which, the first time I tried Chinese cuisine was because I ate Tohsaka's cooking," Shirou said.

"Gudako, just stay here and wait for dinner. I'll definitely let you have a second bowl. So... wash your hands, sit quietly, understand?" Rin Tohsaka raised an eyebrow, surprised that a little girl would doubt her cooking skills. She turned around and smiled kindly.
