"Big brother, look!"
A young Aegir girl looked at Shiro with her scarlet red eyes. Her slightly long white hair swayed as she ran in his direction while holding a small canvas.
There, a detailed drawing of Shiro is drawn. Unlike any other children out there, her skills in drawing is good enough to capture a hint of his 'perfection', something that is hard to do.
Seeing this, he smiled at her and exclaimed, "Oh? It's me!"
"Un!"
This girl, Rie, is one of the few that he saved two days ago. Through Cardinal's help, they acquired a good property within a few million LMD as well as hire some caretakers from a trusted agency.
Every day, Shiro never missed his visit as he interacted with the kids. Gaining their trust might've been hard for the others, but not for him. Not only did he save them, he also possessed the so-called max level charm.
Showing his sincerity is the final nail in the coffin.
Shiro patted her head gently while he took the canvas and placed it to his [Dimensional Storage]. Of course, he created a tough carbon case for it using his Carbon Arts to ensure its protection.
"I'll leave for today, so remember to finish your practice before you have fun."
"M'kay! Goodbye, big brother..."
Seeing her slightly teary eyes, he knew that there's still an insurmountable trauma in Rie. To her, he's the pillar of her life. While it sounds good on the paper, Shiro definitely doesn't prefer this as it'll only harm them in the future.
He already experienced it a few times according to his memories, and those are the moments that he wouldn't want to happen again.
That's why he trained them for their independence early on, something that applied on both Shinji and Sakura as well.
Shiro sighed in melancholy as he left the premises before he saw Surtr waiting for him. Wordlessly, they blended into the crowd before the former used his [Aurora Curtain] that brought them back to their house.
"You're really sure that you want to visit that world? You might get rejected by it or encounter someone stronger than you." He said.
"I'm sure."
Since that time when she knew about his other world escapades, Surtr asked him if she could come as well, in which he said that she could. Shiro underestimated her unsealed power, which led to this.
"Alright... Do you mind if I take off your disguise for now? I won't be able to supply it later."
"Mn." She nodded.
In no time, the previous spells became undone as her feline ears disappeared, replacing that is her horns.
Shiro took out a slightly hazy golden core made up of energy. Soon, golden particles appeared from it before forming a body identical to his. The Spiritron Dress that it has is also the same as him [CCG Uniform].
Sitting on the sofa, Shiro summoned almost a hundred spells to protect his real body while activating the mechanism he'd created days ago. Simply put, it'll force his consciousness back whenever there's a 'danger' that exceeded the set level on it.
"Cardinal, is Strea there?"
Her figure appeared on his smartphone before she said, "No, she's busy playing with the kids."
"I'll leave this to you."
"I understand."
With a split second, his consciousness entered his Astral Projection. Then, he opened another aurora curtain that led to Chaldea before they stepped in.

"That is quite bad, isn't it?"
"SHEBA designated you as a danger to humanity. What could be worse than that?"
Shiro and Roman chatted as they went to the summoning room. In actuality, their summoning system still has flaws despite using Mash's shield as a core. The only reason why they now has such a stable summoning system is due to it serving as "the place where heroes gather".
Still, it would've taken them more time to fix the said flaws and summon heroic spirits with stronger saint graphs... if not for Roman intervening and giving them five [Round Table Fragments (SR)], something that he got as a set from his special ten times draw.
These fragments temporarily bridged the gap, allowing Chaldea to summon stronger Servants until the fragments break. Though, they would've fixed the flaws at that time; it wouldn't matter if it broke by then.
(A/N: Remember Kairi's catalyst? It's like that.)
While they can't summon Lostbelt Servants as of the moment, they could definitely aim for Divine Spirits, which will be of huge help considering what they would need to face in the later Singularities.
"Right, you'll also see your father during the Third Singularity. Will he see through you?" Shiro asked, making Roman pause for a second.
"I... maybe? I mean, the grail itself turned me into a 'normal human', so the chances are lower, I think?"
"He also served as a King under 'God', just like you. So... chances are he would definitely notice you. Tough luck, but good luck nevertheless."
Roman could only stare at him speechlessly. Just when he thought that no one could match up to his pessimism in Chaldea, this guy had done it.
Soon, they arrived in the summoning room. The metal door slid automatically once it 'scanned' Roman's ID card.
They were greeted by a... 'goddess'. The first impression that one would get from 'her' is simply 'beauty'. 'Her' pair of clear blue eyes curiously stared at the man besides Roman with inquisitive gaze.
Though, it soon turned into interest as she circled around him swiftly.
'She' patted Shiro's shoulders as she asked with a trembling voice:
"How... How did you have such beauty?! It's..! It's perfect!"
"Excuse me?"
Shiro stared at Roman, only to be met by the latter's helpless gaze.
"I've warned you before..." He said while looking at Shiro.
With no other choice, he confronted this excited 'woman' in front of him.
"To be honest, I don't know." He wryly smiled as he continued, "I'm an amnesiac, so the answers will have to wait until I regain my memories."
"Is that so..."
Knowing that he'll get grilled later on, Roman chose to introduce Shiro properly to 'her'.
"Ahem. He is my good friend, Shiro. He came from another world. He's also the one who made those snacks, by the way."
"No wonder, those cookies are amazing!"
At this moment, someone called out to her. However, she focused her attention more on Mash's shield itself together with the Round Table fragments.
"Shiro, is it? Can we talk more about that matter later?"
"Fine by me."
With that settled, the beautiful woman, Da Vinci, activated the summoning circle underneath the shield. It started glowing with blue light, which is an indication of the summoning process' beginning.
'Woah. Seeing this in personal is nothing short of amazing.'
Shiro began comparing it to Kuroneko's experience of using her SQs to pull. Unlike the game, there's no cards that indicated the Servant's class and their rarity. Instead, it's more similar to the summoning in Fate/Zero.
That, minus the chants. Since Alaya itself supported this world line whole-heartedly, there's no need for such formalities.
A bright light blinded their vision as a Heroic Spirit responded to their call. Only Shiro is the one who could see the vague silhouette that's being formed by ether.

Fact #60: Did you know that Siege (Arknights), the cool lion, has the same VA as Artoria Pendragon (Ayako Kawasumi)? What's more, her name is a reference to the Round Table historically—Siege Perilous, one of the vacant seats in the Round Table. It's reserved for the 'Knight' that would find success in their quest for the holy grail. With her chinese name being play of words to "The Advancing King", referencing many things from King Richard the Lionheart/King Arthur, and sharing the same VA as Artoria, I do wonder if it's just a coincidence...
