If it were a normal Player and a normal Caster, the appropriate tactic would be to use the local residents of Fuyuki City to set traps for other Players.
But for Kisaragi Rin, such matters were never necessary.
Soichiro Kuzuki is a Pursuer; killing him in this world is the best outcome, and there's no need to use rule six to have the Paradise expel him from the game.
As for the other Players?
Before Kisaragi Rin, who possesses Medea, the Servants held by these Players are even more valuable than Treasure Chests.
Medea, Esdeath, and Gilgamesh all stayed behind to continue fighting using this method.
Furthermore, why would Kisaragi Rin use strange methods when he can completely defeat them outright?
Only Scáthach was different; her wish was to find someone who could kill her.
The battle was inevitable, and Scáthach's various settings were too overpowered.
As for the Item given by Shinomiya Kaguya, Kisaragi Rin felt it was more suitable for use on Soichiro Kuzuki.
Therefore, let them exit the stage.
This is ultimately a Holy Grail War, not a child's game of make-believe.
"Gil, take us back to Fuyuki City."
Kisaragi Rin looked at Gilgamesh, who was hesitating whether to approach Yukinoshita Yukino or Shinomiya Kaguya.
"Oh."
Gilgamesh had just pulled out a Noble Phantasm when she noticed something was wrong.
"...To actually command me like that."
"Should I obey?"
"It's only a small matter. A future King shouldn't be constrained by such details."
"But he is neither my Minister nor my Master; being too obedient would be embarrassing, wouldn't it?"
Gilgamesh was truly conflicted.
Then, Kisaragi Rin, who hadn't received a response, looked over.
"Gil, is there a problem?" Kisaragi Rin asked.
"No, no, no, I'll be right there."
She pressed the strange sword-shaped Noble Phantasm, and the entire space dissipated above them, turning into golden specks of light.
After doing all this, Gilgamesh realized what an embarrassing thing she had done.
Moments later... the Masters and Servants gathered at Ryudoji Temple.
Although Gilgamesh was reluctant, she still brought over the Noble Phantasm that Kisaragi Rin had always been curious about.
"It really is this thing?" Kisaragi Rin exclaimed.
Item - Evoltruster - Damaged.
Description: Light is the bond, binding generation after generation.
Effect 1 - Meta‑Field: Deploys an alternate space called the Meta‑Field.
Effect 2 - Form Change: The Evoltruster can transform into a gun form that fires light bullets.
Bonus: None.
Usage Requirements: Courage, hope... plus a bit of idealism.
"What is this?"
Medea and Lily came closer, equally curious about this Noble Phantasm that Kisaragi Rin had always wanted.
"I don't know how to describe it either."
Looking at the "Damaged" label and the lack of a Nexus transformation effect in the list, Kisaragi Rin handed it to Medea and said, "Based on what I know, this is, uh... the mystery Item used by the Adaptor to transform into Nexus, and Nexus can be seen as the first light of a certain universe, Noah."
Hmm... This is the transformation Item used by the Adaptors in Ultraman Nexus.
Although it's not the Spark Lens that Kisaragi likes the most, it's still his second favorite batch.
The first light of the universe, Noah!
So why did you appear here!
Holding onto this question, Kisaragi Rin looked at the child-like, female version of Gilgamesh, who had chosen Shinomiya Kaguya over Yukinoshita Yukino.
"I don't know," Gilgamesh shook her head and continued, "One day in the future, this thing suddenly appeared inside my King's Treasure."
Gilgamesh is not a separate individual, but an existence sent back to the past by Gilgamesh (female) using the Age Ring, and she still retains the memories of Gilgamesh (female).
However, due to the difference in age, her own personality and attitude toward things have become completely different.
Although Gilgamesh's Master had been swapped to Yukinoshita Yukino, Shinomiya Kaguya did not retract her Skill - Time Zero.
She thus remained in the Gilgamesh form.
At this moment, Medea had thoroughly examined the Evoltruster, but ultimately shook her head and said, "The structure of this object differs too much from the magical knowledge of the Fate World; I can't understand it at all."
Medea was able to understand the principles of transforming the Banner of Demons into the Demonic Hell Sanctuary through her own magical expertise.
Now, faced with a Transformation Device from the Ultra World—and Nexus's at that—with its mix of technology, fantasy, and a bit of idealism, it would be strange if she could repair it immediately.
Seeing Master's matter-of-fact expression, Medea instead became more competitive.
"Leave it here for now; I will observe it further."
"No problem." Kisaragi Rin was indifferent.
Even if the Evoltruster didn't have the Damaged tag, just looking at the abstract usage requirements, Kisaragi wouldn't necessarily be able to transform into Nexus.
But... Yukinoshita Yukino?
Kisaragi Rin glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino; she was currently feeding snacks to Saber.
Since she managed to gain the approval of Avalon, it feels like becoming The Light wouldn't be difficult for her either.
Medea put the Evoltruster in her pocket and then took Lily from her Master's arms.
If all goes as expected, these Players from Paradise are about to hold a meeting.
Taking out the Item - Nakime's Single Eye from Medusa's embrace, Medea held Lily and spoke with the attitude of a mistress: "Medusa, Saber, and Esdeath, come over here. We still need to find the hiding places of the last two enemies."
Esdeath didn't want to obey, but she could read the atmosphere.
Seeing Medusa and Saber stand up and leave without resistance, she reluctantly acquiesced, for Master's sake.
Hmm... With Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, two outsiders, present, arguing would be embarrassing.
Then, only Gilgamesh was left beside the four Players.
Suppressing the urge to follow them, Gilgamesh had only one thought: "Why didn't they call me? Am I being isolated?"
Observing these Servants coolly, Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly realized something: the relationship between these Servants and Kisaragi Rin was closer than she had imagined.
Ever since meeting Kisaragi Rin, Shinomiya Kaguya's focus had always been on Yukinoshita Yukino.
After all, she was the only other Player.
However, upon observation now, although Yukinoshita Yukino and Kisaragi Rin acted intimately, their relationship wasn't like that of lovers; it was closer to that of friends.
Yet, these Servants openly displayed a state of being in love with Kisaragi Rin.
"He can't take the Servants from this world away, so what exactly does Kisaragi Rin want to do?" Shinomiya Kaguya was slightly confused.
According to the information she knew, Servants in this world could not be taken away to become Followers.
That's why Shinomiya Kaguya didn't care at all about their intimacy with Kisaragi Rin.
But based on her understanding of Kisaragi Rin, if he couldn't take them away, how could he display such a relaxed and accepting attitude now?
