[ "The sole creator god of the universe, freely manipulating all dimensions 1 to 10 of the entire multiverse,

God of Love EX (God loves the world, eliminating all misfortunes that should be eliminated in this world)

[ Aqua (KonoSuba): "Aaaah! I'm going crazy! Administrator-sama, please! Let me be on the list! Even if I'm the main god, I'm willing to be the strongest in combat!" ]

[ Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba): "Idiot, don't take everything! Administrator-sama, choose me, choose me! I don't want so many fancy rewards, just let me be separated from that idiot forever!" ]

[ Eternity (MCU): "Has there already been an existence that is equal to... or even surpasses us?" ]

[ Azathoth (Lovecraft): ██████████████████ (Censored)" ]

[ Trisolaran Leader (3-Body Problem): "The true supreme god! What kind of terrifying monster has the incubator's buried cause created?" ]

[ Beyonder (Marvel 616): "If at the very beginning its strength couldn't be clearly defined, it's easy to say now. Invading other multi-worlds and assimilating them? Then, stacking infinitely in this world and the assimilated world? This is simply not a gap in combat power, but a naked fact! How can 'n' infinite stacks be greater than '2n' infinite stacks!" ]

[ Anti-Spiral (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann): "The Divine Ring of Logic is already a product that threatens all worlds." ]

[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "Um, can I say something? I don't think Madoka would do such a thing. How could such a kind child like Madoka invade other worlds?" (Don't come after me if I said something wrong)]

[ .....]

〜Marvel Cinematic Universe, Earth-????〜

"A slight carelessness could lead to a Multiversal war of countless worlds,"

Kang The Conqueror frowned, his face devoid of his usual cynicism.

Having experienced and ended the Multiversal war, he knew how tragic such battles were. Once two worlds truly collided, the terrifying scene was simply unimaginable.

〜Puella Magi Madoka Magica World〜

Unlike the heated discussions in the various worlds, Madoka was a little uneasy at this moment.

She... didn't really want to accept this reward...

Invading worlds, becoming the strongest, or whatever... she didn't like it at all.

If she accepted the reward and turned into that appearance in the video again, how much pain would Homura endure...

But when she thought of the tragic fate of countless magical girls that already existed, Madoka remained silent for a long time, and finally decided to accept the reward.

Under the golden light, the girl's eyes gradually became mysterious and brilliant. The entire world... no, countless dimensions, countless parallel lines, the endless river of time, any change was now at her whim.

What surprised the girl even more was that the Divine Ring of Logic could operate automatically without her intervention!

And there were still remaining rewards...

After understanding everything, the girl's eyes gradually became joyful and excited, and tears couldn't help but fall. This was great, this was great, a world where no one would be hurt had been achieved—

As for the Ring of Logic, it had already automatically filled the creature named Kyubey into the infinitely running Ring of Logic.

A world where truly no one would be hurt, completed—

At the same time, a new round of video appeared on the screen.

[ Next up— ]

[ Type-Moon: Oath Under Snow ]

[ Question——Why win the Holy Grail War? ]

『 A handsome young man with short red hair, amber eyes, and full of scars appeared on the screen. 』

[ Only three contestants can get the right to answer each time ]

[ Starting the rush to answer now—Ding, those who obtained the slots are: Tokiomi Tohsaka, Natsuki Subaru, and Kamado Tanjiro. ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』

Everyone recalled the great battle between Enkidu and Gilgamesh, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Could it be another exciting battle like the last one?!

No, or rather, it was a continuation of the last Sixth Holy Grail War?

But this child didn't seem to appear last time, did he? Everyone was a little confused, and as for this question, they were even more bewildered.

Why win the Holy Grail War?

Since they participated, what was the point of not winning?

.....

[ Tohsaka Rin (Type-Moon): "Wait... wait a minute! My classmate Emiya Shirou is on stage?! And he's going to fight in the Holy Grail War? That's too strange! He's not from a mage family, is he?" ]

[ Red A ⦍EMIYA⦎ (Type-Moon): "This kid..." ]

[ Kiritsugu Emiya (Type-Moon):: "...Emiya?" ]

[ Jibril (No game, No life): "Is it time for another Servant free-for-all? Good, good! The last time Gilgamesh and Enkidu were so satisfying to watch~" ]

[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): "You mongrels who covet this king's treasures! If you cannot satisfy this king, then this king shall grant you death!" ]

[ Enkidu (Type-Moon): "Gil, don't be like that." ]

[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): "...Hmph." ]

〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜

"Hey, kid, wanna buy apples?"

The uncle's impatient voice came,

"Are you trying to scam me?"

"Eh..."

Natsuki Subaru vaguely touched his abdomen, his eyes filled with fear and pain.

What was going on? He was clearly dead just now.

Could it be that all of this was his hallucination? With a short-circuited and extremely dull mind, Natsuki Subaru accepted this answer.

"Never mind,"

Natsuki Subaru shook his head vigorously, looking at his name on the screen,

"First, I'll answer this question correctly, and then rely on the rewards to live a worry-free life in this world!"

〜Demon Slayer World〜

Butterfly Mansion—

"Great, great! Tanjiro, you're going to take off~"

Zenitsu Agasuma and Inosuke excitedly tossed Tanjiro high into the air.

"Um, although this might be a buzzkill, you haven't answered the question yet,"

Shinobu Kocho said with some distress.

At some point, seven Hashira appeared behind them.

"Eh?"

With a thump, the two put Tanjiro down.

"Kid! I'll tell you the answer, and you answer!"

The short-tempered Sanemi Shinazugawa directly grabbed Tanjiro's collar.

Tomioka Giyuu, behind him, frowned slightly and stood in front of Tanjiro, his eyes gentle.

"Hey! Are you trying to decide on your own?"

Tomioka Giyuu didn't speak; he just wanted the other party to calm down.

But in the eyes of the other Hashira, it was as if they weren't worthy of pointing fingers.

"Damn it! You bastard! You're too arrogant!"

"Alright, stop arguing, ahem,"

Ubuyashiki Kagaya smiled and looked at Tanjiro,

"Child, you should have your own answer."

〜Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant fools,"

Tokiomi Tohsaka adjusted his tie, a proud smile gracing his lips.

Holy Grail War? As the esteemed head of the Tohsaka family, one of the three founding families, he was all too familiar with it!

What was the Holy Grail? Simply put, it was a wish-granting device, but what about a deeper understanding?

It was the key to the Root! A sacred object that countless mages yearned for!

This time, it was a sure win.

Perhaps, he didn't even need the power of Gilgamesh. Tokiomi Tohsaka's lips curved into a smile.

He elegantly opened a bottle of champagne and nodded in satisfaction.

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜

"Senpai, it's the Holy Grail War!"

Mash said.

"Hmm, and it doesn't seem to be an ordinary Holy Grail War,"

Ritsuka nodded. Ritsuka was currently frantically absorbing all knowledge, just to cope with the dangers that could arise at any time.

"Doctor, what do you think the Holy Grail War is like?"

Ritsuka instinctively asked.

"Uh... it should be that everyone's strength is similar, and then they achieve victory through the cooperation between Servants and Masters,"

Romani said guiltily.

He had only participated in the Holy Grail War once, and that was as Solomon, fighting for the old director.

He couldn't possibly say that he cleared the Holy Grail War in one night, could he? No one would believe something like that.

Soon, the countdown ended, and the three people's answers appeared on the screen.

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜

[ Tokiomi Tohsaka (Type-Moon): "To obtain the Holy Grail, to explore the Root!" ]

[ Natsuki Subaru (Rezero): "To wish to become stronger!" ]

[ Kamado Tanjiro (Demon Slayer): "To protect my family!" ]

[ Tokiomi Tohsaka and Natsuki Subaru answered incorrectly, Kamado Tanjiro answered correctly ]

[ Correct Answer— Big Hero Emiya Shirou cleared the Holy Grail War in one night for his sister! ]

[ .....]

The screen flickered erratically, glitching as it displayed static—just like an old TV—for a full 30 seconds before the video finally began.

『 Morning, the sun was gentle, bright, and warm.

In a restaurant, several cats were holding a mobilization meeting.

"Everyone, the morning meeting has begun~ This is Saber, who was temporarily invited to replace the part-timer who took sick leave today due to a cold.~"

As he spoke, a figure walked out.

Golden hair and emerald eyes, an exquisite face as beautiful as an angel, and a cute ahoge on top of her head wiggled restlessly.

Artoria, dressed in black and a blue and white maid outfit, said shyly.

"I... I am Saber. Please take care of me."

"K-King of knights!" The cats instantly knelt in worship. So beautiful, like an angel shrouded in light!

Damn it, they were clearly the employers. Was this the so-called Charisma B?! 』

『 .....』

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜

[ Tokiomi Tohsaka (Type-Moon): "...Who can tell me what's going on?! What does this have to do with the Holy Grail War?! I strongly suspect my answer just now was correct!" ]

[ Richard I (Type-Moon): "Is this my ancestor, King Arthur?! So beautiful!" ]

[ Medea (Type-Moon): "Gulp... Saber in a maid outfit~ Hehe, so beautiful, I wonder what she looks like in a dress." ]

[ Gawain (Type-Moon): "My King! Has the country been eaten to extinction by you, forcing you to go out and work?!" ]

[ Mordred (Type-Moon): "ENOUGH!!! Father, what in the world is going on?! What are you doing?!" ]

[ Artoria Pendragon (Type-Moon): "I don't know!" ]

[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "*Click, *Click! Lia, Oh Lia, like this, it's fitting you." ]

[ Rikka Takanashi (Chunibyo): "Oh oh! The ahoge is the main body!" ]

[ .....]

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜

In the 6th singularity, Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot—

"Thump—"

The Holy Sword unconsciously dropped, Mordred stared blankly at her father on the screen...

"N-no... impossible! How could Father be so cute!"

Mordred's eyes widened, as if to engrave this scene into her DNA forever!

〜Type-Moon World, G̶̘̏̕͜ṟ̶͠a̵̹͂̆n̵̻̤̎d̶̞͐ ̷̫͇͑C̸̛̪̬ȃ̴̯r̵̓̓͜n̸̜̋͗î̷̭v̸̱͆ȃ̷̫̚l̵͚̋ Worldline, Chaldea〜

"Could this be Carnival Phantasm?"

The chaotic evil Gudako said, confusingly, while gacha rolling.

『 "Ding-a-ling—"

"Welcome," Artoria greeted gently.

"Oh... Aaaah! Saber! What are you doing?!" The first customer, Tohsaka Rin, pointed at Saber in shock!

"Entrusted by the store manager, I have no choice."

"How mundane can you get?" Tohsaka Rin complained.

"Isn't this formal wear?" Artoria twirled around, "Alright, hurry up and order."

"Then coffee," Tohsaka Rin elegantly brushed her hair back.

"What about food?" Artoria asked.

"I'm still..."

"You can't fight on an empty stomach! What if you're attacked when you're hungry?!" Artoria scolded!

"I understand... Then I'll have a hot pancake."

"Someone like Rin wouldn't just eat one serving, would she?" Artoria said seriously.

"Ah... うるさい (Urusai)! I'll have curry and spaghetti too!"

( Translator-kun: Author-san literally used Hiragana here. )

Afterward, under Artoria's management, sales skyrocketed! 』

『 .....』

[ Tokiomi Tohsaka (Type-Moon): "Is That Rin?! What's really going on??" ]

[ Rin Tohsaka (Type-Moon): "...." ]

[ Lancelot (Type-Moon): "A knight never dies on an empty stomach...? My King, I feel my mind has been polluted." ]

[ Morgan (Type-Moon): "My sister, is your mind still normal?" ]

[ Merlin (Type-Moon): "Oh dear, hasn't everyone understood yet? This is in another parallel world, Artoria's maid outfit is simply amazing!" ]

[ Uiharu Kazari (A Certain Magical Index): "Could this be Britain's forced sales tactic!?" ]

[ .....]

『 "Thump—", the door was violently pushed open, and the nouveau riche Gilgamesh pushed his way in.

"Hmph! So you're really here, not bad!" A gold brick was directly thrown onto the ground.

"I specifically asked for you!"

"Kotowaru (I refuse)!" Artoria refused.

"Please leave, King of Heroes," Artoria said directly, but then suddenly remembered that he was a customer.

She could only let him order!

"Yosh! First, wine! If you dare to serve inferior wine, I'll smash your entire store!" Gilgamesh sat down arrogantly.

"This is a coffee shop," Artoria gritted her teeth.

"I know, I did it on purpose! This is the King of Heroes' joke, laugh your guts out, Hahahaha!"

"....!"

Artoria was left utterly speechless.

If it weren't during working hours, she would have already cut him in half with her Excalibur, Artoria said with a forced smile.

Gilgamesh glanced at the menu and ordered, "Hurry up and bring me this special lunch! Full meal, and a smile."

"...Crack—." Artoria's teeth were almost shattered.

"I love this shop," Gilgamesh showed a lavish smile, then wildly threw gold coins and jewels,

"This is a reward, take as much as you want!" 』

『 .....』

〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜

[ Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): "Hmphahahahahaha! As expected of this king! Where is this shop? This king must visit it!" ]

[ Mordred (Type-Moon): "Damn it, Gilgamesh! How dare you bully my old and weak father! I'll kill you!" ]

[ Elaina (Wandering Witch): "Aaaah, so much money, so much money! I want to go to work!" ]

[ Tomioka Giyuu (Demon Slayer): "Like a landlord's (foolish son)." ]

[ .....]

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

"Does this... really have anything to do with me?"

Emiya Shirou, who was originally on high alert, fell into confusion.

『 The screen displays like a slideshow, a wild dog familiars stealing food from the Matou family's old man, the unidentified Berserker demolishing the shop, and the elegant and calm Princess Arcueid.

And... Gilgamesh, who wanted to take her away...

"AAAAH!!!" The unbearable Artoria pulled out her ahoge, releasing the seal and manually blackening!

The blue and white maid outfit instantly transformed into a black and white maid outfit, and the King of Knight angrily declared, "You're getting bolder when I don't speak, is the customer God? GOD IS DEAD!!!"

After a thorough rectification, all problems were solved, and all the food in the shop was eaten. Saber, carrying a wine bottle, reeking of alcohol, swaggered back home.

"Welcome home, Saber~" Emiya Shirou, dressed in a housewife's outfit, stood at the entrance to welcome her.

"Ugh—" The instantly blackened King transformed back into her shy and cute self.

And another shocking piece of news awaited the King.

"What?! The three of you are going to have a cooking competition, and the winner gets to participate in the Holy Grail War?!"

Emiya Shiro, Red A, and Senji Muramasa nodded solemnly. 』

『 .....』

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline〜

〜In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower〜

"Pfft—"

Merlin suddenly spat out the water he had just drunk.

"W-what?! Emiya family's food? And three generations in the same frame?!"

〜Type-Moon World, Fae Round Table Domain, Avalon le Fae Lostbelt〜

Artoria Caster pointed blankly at Senji Muramasa on the screen, then looked at her newly bought... slave.

The Child of Prophecy was completely bewildered!
