While many things are occurring in Fuyuki, something else happened in other worlds.

Swoooosh-!

A KANSEN is "walking" in the ocean through the keels installed to her feet. She has a carrier's landing area installed to her right arm whilst she carried a black bow with her left. 

She wore a calm expression whilst staring vigilantly in the distance.

"The anchor has been installed."

In the past, an agreement was made. In exchange for their cooperation, the Ashes and the Sirens would have nothing to do with each other once they escape to the past timelines. However, this agreement became null as the Ashes faction changed their minds—that every single KANSEN is worth saving.

Hence, they started placing Anchors in every timeline, preventing the Sirens from changing the entire timeline easily. Simply put, a part of the timeline would turn into a singularity every time a Siren interferes with it.

Furthermore, these Anchors were made from the prototypes of what the KANSEN's commander had made. It is impossible to break them after installed, hence small-scale battles are already happening between them.

If not for the fact that they need to cooperate against the [Leviathans], they would've gone to war already.

As if hearing her voice, the approaching fleet of Sirens retreated from this timeline. Seeing this, the KANSEN withdrew her bow and prepared to leave.

Hum.

Suddenly, she felt a very faint connection. It was so faint that it feels more of her imagination, but she didn't merely dismiss it as such.

"Shi...ro?"

The memories that she held so tightly resurfaced. Those times were peaceful and calm, yet no one didn't know that it is destined to be gone... forever.

'Is he... No, he died at that time. I felt it. But how..?'

Enterprise felt so confused that she doesn't look like the leader of the Ashes faction, but a confused young girl instead.

Soon, the connection disappeared. Though, it left behind great waves in her heart. That and the long-lost hope inside her weary heart were rekindled.

*****

A frown appeared on Shiro's face as he felt something through his . It had merged with the , so he could feel everyone that are connected to him.

Just now, he felt a nostalgic connection with someone else. He sensed that her situation is dozens of times worse than the Magical Girls in Madoka's world, being on par with Homura's suffering.

"What's the problem?" Castoria asked worriedly as she saw the rare frown on his face.

"It's... I'll have to settle something... No, I'll fulfill a promise from long ago."

"With another woman?"

"...Yes." He didn't hesitate to add. "She's someone important to me."

"..."

Shiro saw her being silent and felt pain in his heart. He was supposed to spend time with her, but this one mishap might have hurt her. Castoria naturally doesn't want to share her love with others, but who's to blame when she's the one who persisted to love him?

In fact, she had accepted Nimi as Shiro's other lover as she was the first one to be at his side, but this entire thing of him being split into two came to her unexpectedly. This caused her to feel some entanglement in her heart. Still, her love is too strong to be affected by such feelings, thus she decided to accept it completely.

Meaning, it was only Shiro who was overthinking. Women's hearts are truly unfathomable, more so when they are that can affect realities at will...

"She's someone from the same world as Nimi?" She asked.

"That's right... She's currently living in that hellish world."

"I see..." She became silent for a while. "Hm... You should go fulfill that promise, then~!"

Seeing this, he subconsciously squeezed her hand slightly. No words have to be spoken as the two of them came to an understanding just with their thoughts.

The third wheel, Justeaze, didn't feel anything as they watched the two of them flirting. With her mental resilience, everyone else would give her a standing ovation for not being sick from watching the couple do their thing.

Tap-!

Soon, they arrived inside the Einzbern Forest. She felt the remains of a [Bounded Field] installed in this place, which was built based on her knowledge.

'It was improved.'

Surprisingly, the Einzberns took her level of magecraft to another level, allowing them to make a [Bounded Field] that could withstand a Servant's blows a dozen times. If the said Servant is lesser than B Rank, they would take even longer to break it.

Too bad, Shiro dropped the others directly inside the [Bounded Field], rendering it useless.

After they arrived in front of the mansion, they were greeted by several people, including three homunculi based on her previous model.

"Mama..?"

One of them, a child with similar looks as her, muttered confusedly.

"Irisviel..."

Artoria recalled the memories of ten years ago. She thought that she wouldn't see this figure again, but she was mistaken.

Meanwhile, a certain student is "slightly" getting sour with jealousy as she got continuously fed with that sight. Alas, she has to keep her elegance, so she just stood there silently.

However, it seems menacing in Shinji's eyes. What's more, it was not only Mami who was getting jealous but also blonde Saber who was feeling complex in the distance.

'Eh... They're jealous?' He thought before his eyelid twitched. 'This is the sign of bad luck. I just hope aniki doesn't deal with problems regarding his wives later...'

As someone who acquired the [Pancosmic Loner], Shinji also acquired the ability to see through foreshadowing. Right now, he could already see the chaos that it would bring when the majority of his wives meet.

'Not good... I should tell him later..!' He decided, unknowingly saving Shiro from his current fate.

If Shiro knew what Shinji was thinking, he would be proud of him and say:

"This is how a younger brother should be!"

"The Grail War is already over." Shiro spoke. "We should be sleeping now, so good night~"

He playfully said before enveloping the others into the aurora wall, leaving the Einzberns and a single Berserker behind.
