"Master, is this the place?"
"Yes—and remember, no touching the princess, got it?"
"Aww, why not? You're so mean, Master~"
While they talked, they arrived at the Western-style Mansion.
"As expected of Her Excellency…" The fox-eared girl's cheeks flushed; her tail flicked restlessly, long legs beneath the shrine-miko habit pressed tight together.
"Behave yourself!" The blonde beside her raised a hand to knock the lustful fox sober and debated a Command Seal to send her back to the Throne of Heroes—why had she summoned this thing?
Just then the mansion's door opened. Asagami Fujino stood behind it, smiling gently: "You're here—come in."
The instant Fujino appeared, the fox-eared girl stiffened, convulsed, and collapsed, face crimson, a damp patch darkening her hakama.
"Almost forgot." Fujino gave a wry smile; the fox could see souls, and the blaze of Fujino's had overwhelmed her—amplified by the power of the Great Sword.
Fujino stepped forward, erasing distance, and stood before them.
"Sajyou Aika, what a lovely child you are."
Praised by the very light of her life, Aika's cheeks tinted pink.
Fujino took Aika's hand without invoking the Great Sword and whispered, "Let's go inside."
"Mm." A shy nod, a breeze passed, and both girls—and the fox on the ground—vanished as the door closed behind them.
At night, a dark figure moved along the walls of the Tohsaka Family residence with a series of difficult acrobatic maneuvers.
"That was too easy."
Just as the dark figure spoke and prepared to slip into a room and leave, a brilliant golden light suddenly appeared in the dark night. Before the figure could react, the golden light pierced through it—it was a golden longsword, pinning the dark figure directly to the wall.
"How is this possible!" The dark figure cried out in alarm.
"Mongrel!" A handsome blond man clad entirely in golden armor appeared floating in front of the dark figure. Several golden ripples shimmered behind him, from which numerous weapons emerged; every single one of these weapons was a Noble Phantasm.
"Damn it, Kirei, you set me up!" The dark figure wailed, and was instantly disintegrated into scattered light particles by the countless projectiles launched from the golden ripples.
"Utterly boring trash." Leaving this single sentence, the golden man vanished from the spot.
Meanwhile, the Familiars sent by the Masters of this Holy Grail War, who had been hiding in the shadows, quietly retreated.
"How boring." Inside the Western-style Mansion, Asagami Fujino watched the golden man—the Archer of this Holy Grail War, the legendary Hero King Gilgamesh.
"Where did that Matou Kariya guy run off to? I gave him such a huge boost, why hasn't he attacked the Tohsaka Family yet?" Saying this, Asagami Fujino prepared to switch her view to see what Matou Kariya was actually doing.
Suddenly, Asagami Fujino felt something hug her body. She closed her Clairvoyance and looked down: a fox-eared girl was tightly embracing her, her tail wrapped firmly around her body. This was the Servant summoned by Aika, the Great Yokai Tamamo-no-Mae from history.
"Little Tama, can you let go for a moment? Aren't you afraid Aika will kill you?" Asagami Fujino said helplessly. Although beast-eared girls were nice, having one constantly cling to her made Asagami Fujino uncomfortable.
Moreover, ever since she was brought back inside and woke up, Tamamo-no-Mae had completely latched onto Asagami Fujino. Aika had been tempted to strike several times; she hadn't even gotten intimate with Asagami Fujino yet, but a Servant beat her to it. How infuriating!
"No!" Saying this, Little Tama hugged her even tighter, looking up at Asagami Fujino: "Master doesn't need to worry about Aika; I pulled some strings, and she won't find out."
Hearing this, Asagami Fujino was curious. Sajo Aika was connected to The Root, practically omniscient and omnipotent in this world. Drugging her was certainly impossible, and Magecraft wouldn't work either. What exactly did Little Tama do to be so sure Aika wouldn't find out?
Soon, Asagami Fujino realized what happened. She looked helplessly at Tamamo-no-Mae in her arms. This girl actually used her, no wonder Aika fell for it.
"Seriously." Asagami Fujino sighed, "It's you, isn't it? Nine-Tailed Fox Tamamo-no-Mae."
Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes seemed to lose their light, and a wave of energy emanated from her body. Asagami Fujino made no move, simply watching.
Then, the scene before her changed. Asagami Fujino found herself inside a magnificent Great Hall, where a massive figure lay resting, its nine tails gently swaying behind it.
