On the Eve of Facing the Beast Goddess—First, Seal Merlin's Clairvoyance
Ah, this...
If those words hadn't been directed at Emiya Shirou, people in the real world said they wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death.
If Gilgamesh had merely used Noble Phantasms to blow things up, it could still be understood as something he had come up with himself.
But specifically emphasizing, "Broken Phantasm? This king used it over four thousand years ago," inevitably made people's thoughts wander.
Even if Gilgamesh had truly invented it himself, adding that line just made it look like a blatant cover-up. People could not help but think that Gilgamesh had used his EX-rank Clairvoyance to witness the bizarre future scene from the Fifth Holy Grail War, where he, as a Heroic Spirit and in his younger form, was beaten up by Emiya Shirou using bootleg copies against the originals—and even had his arm chopped off.
Honestly, just imagining that scene felt incredibly cursed.
There was simply no way to even begin complaining about it.
Honestly, it was utterly surreal and absurd.
However, there were too many fantastical things in this Age of Gods. To the point that something this absurd did not make people think, "Impossible, absolutely impossible," but rather, "City folks sure know how to play."
The behind-the-scenes story was reassuring.jpg.
At Heavenly King International High School's high school division, Matou Shinji patted his best buddy Emiya Shirou on the shoulder. "Shirou, it seems what you did left quite a deep impression on our King of Heroes."
"This King of Heroes actually applied for the copyright to your Broken Phantasm more than four thousand years in advance. How do you feel about that?"
As he spoke, he theatrically held his phone before Emiya Shirou as though it were a microphone.
