The sound of running water gradually quieted down, followed by the flush of the toilet. Izumi Kotomi stepped out of the bathroom, rubbing her now-relieved stomach.
"Phew—what a relief. Those last ten minutes were brutal. I should've known better than to drink so much orange juice before tutoring Yui."
Just as she finished speaking, she came face to face with Yuka Yuigahama, who was walking out of the kitchen with a bag of chocolate cookies in hand.
Upon seeing Kotomi, Yuka...

Kaguya furrowed her brows but eventually sat back down, taking the wine glass that Iskandar handed her.
"Whether it's wine or swords, my treasury contains only the finest," Gilgamesh said as he casually glanced at Kaguya, taking a sip of his wine. "Only with such can a king's class be determined."
Kaguya hesitated for a moment. Her tolerance for alcohol wasn't exactly great—in fact, she had a rather embarrassing history of being a one-drink lightweight.
"What's wrong? You ...

Saber's eyes narrowed, and she tightened her grip on her sword. Having fought the silver-haired girl before, she knew firsthand how powerful Kaguya truly was. Despite her delicate appearance, her small body housed an incredible strength far beyond what one would expect.
Kaguya frowned slightly as she lowered her pale, slender arm. She was used to teasing others, but being teased herself? That was a first, and it didn't sit well with her.
"Hey, were you trying to kill me just now? ...

The sky was a clear blue, with scattered white clouds drifting across it. The bright morning sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the room and driving away the darkness within. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves outside, and the soft curtains swayed like waves.
Kaguya sat up in bed, blinking her sleepy eyes. She yawned and wiped the corner of her eyes, still feeling a bit groggy.
Last night had been a pleasant one. Hugging Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Tohsaka, holding the...

Aoi Tohsaka was a gentle and virtuous woman, like a well-bred lady from a respectable family—she was the epitome of a good wife and loving mother. She was graceful and elegant, and speaking with her felt like being bathed in the warmth of spring. It was no wonder she could raise such outstanding daughters as Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Tohsaka, and no surprise that Kariya Matou was so fond of her.
Tonight, Kaguya had intended to leave after dropping off Sakura, but Aoi, in order to show he...

"Najenda, long time no see..." Selene, with one hand on her hip and her face devoid of emotion, greeted Najenda.
"Boss, is she... the one they call Selene?" With a loud bang, Leone pushed herself away from Rasetsu Four's Juuten and landed next to Najenda, speaking in a low voice.
Leone looked up at the dazzling silver-white figure in front of her, momentarily dazed.

In the Emperor's quarters.
After returning from Honest's palace and following his father's daily schedule, the young emperor sat in his lavish throne within his grand bedroom. The layout of his quarters was modeled after his father's, with no alterations.
Sitting on a large, luxurious chair on the golden-tiled floor covered by a crimson carpet, the young emperor rested his elbows on the desk as he eagerly flipped through a book that recorded the glorious achievements of past emper...

Kanae didn't ask Eriri whether she could cure the illness, as she believed Eriri was omnipotent. A simple illness like this wouldn't be a problem for her.
At the same time, Kanae's behavior of suddenly speaking to the air, along with her words, caught the attention of everyone present.

Hearing the hint of exasperation in Kotomi's voice, Yui could only awkwardly touch her cheek and let out an embarrassed laugh.
While Yui was usually carefree, she wasn't oblivious to her own situation. If her math grades were abnormally bad, then her English grades were catastrophic! The most troublesome ...

With a sharp "bang," sparks flew as a small figure was sent flying—Kaguya.
She skidded back seven or eight meters before finally coming to a halt.
"Oh?" Kaguya straightened herself, glancing at her torn sleeve before turning her gaze to the black, smoke-covered Berserker before her. She blinked in curiosity and remarked, "Is this the power of Mad Enhancement?"
In response, Berserker let out a deafening roar. His eyes glowed with an intense red light, and the black smoke su...

"No," Kariya replied gravely, "I'm not doing this for him. I'm doing it for Sakura. So, I'm sorry, but you must die."
Berserker's body emitted thick black smoke as he prepared for battle. His glowing red eyes gleamed with fierce intent, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

In a dim, damp room, two figures were having a conversation.
One of them was a frail, slender man with white hair. His face was marred by twisted, bulging veins, especially on the left side where his skin had dried up, leaving his eye a ghastly pale. The most horrifying detail was the way the veins wriggled as if something was crawling beneath his skin. If Kaguya were here, she would immediately recognize him—he was Kariya Matou, one of the most tragic figures in the Fate&nbs...
