----------------------------------------------------------

The chaotic aura surrounding Shirou Emiya came entirely from his Authorities.

Before entering the Godslayer world, Shirou Emiya-who had already become a Hero candidate in Rimuru's world-had undergone a transformation. His previous abilities had been integrated and stabilized.

However, the divine Authorities he obtained in the Godslayer world had always resisted full compatibility.

Even though they were not from true gods, their origin was still the Godslayer world. They were, in essence, incomplete Authorities.

And Divine Blessing was fundamentally an ability meant to develop human potential.

It was never designed to fully integrate divine Authorities.

Unless-

They were fused into magic itself.

Magic was, by definition, a miracle.

Among Shirou Emiya's two magical systems, only Unlimited Blade Works was capable of bearing those Authorities.

Because of his origin.

Because of the "sword."

Shirou Emiya was able to cultivate Unlimited Blade Works precisely because of that origin.

And although Divine Blessing had expanded its scope-turning the Inner World from one of swords into one that could encompass all weapons-its essence had never changed.

It was still a sword.

Only now, the concept of "sword" had been continuously extended outward, eventually encompassing the broader meaning of "weapon."

Because of that, every Authority Shirou Emiya possessed manifested in the form of a weapon.

And that gave him a possibility.

A path.

Complete integration.

"The Hero's Egg grants miracles..."

Standing on the snowy plains of his Inner World, Shirou Emiya looked at the forge that had appeared before him.

"...can that miracle respond to my will?"

He extended his hand.

The Hammer of the Divine Smith appeared in his grasp.

"Since you possess the power of miracles-respond to me."

"Grant that power to my hand."

"Let me guide the direction of what comes next."

"All of this is for the mission of a hero."

As his words fell, hazy golden particles of light slowly rose from his feet.

They spiraled around his body.

"Is this... a miracle?"

Shirou Emiya reached out, trying to grasp the particles.

His fingers closed on nothing.

But-

"I feel like I can do anything."

The sensation was absolute.

Everything in his Inner World felt firmly within his control.

With a quiet breath, Shirou Emiya guided the golden particles forward.

They surged into the Hammer of the Divine Smith.

At the same time, a magnificent divine sword appeared in his other hand.

Tsumukari Muramasa.

His Inherent Spiritual Dress.

A blade that embodied severance.

"As the embodiment of my soul..."

"There is no weapon more suitable than you."

He placed Tsumukari Muramasa onto the forge.

Then he raised the hammer.

And struck.

The full-force blow landed squarely on the blade.

A blemish appeared.

It looked as though the exquisite sword had been damaged.

But it was an illusion.

Tsumukari Muramasa had not been harmed.

Something had been added.

Where the hammer struck, traces resembling rust appeared along the blade, ruining its flawless appearance.

At the same time-

A裂痕 appeared in the sky of the Inner World.

It was as though a piece of the world itself had been knocked away.

Shirou Emiya didn't look up.

He took a short breath.

And swung again.

"Clang!"

Again.

"Clang!"

Again.

"Clang!"

The sound echoed endlessly across the snowy plain.

Time lost meaning.

Only the hammering remained.

Only when Shirou Emiya no longer had the strength to lift the hammer did the sound finally stop.

By then, nearly one-tenth of the Inner World had vanished.

Along with it-

One-tenth of the weapons stored within Unlimited Blade Works disappeared as well.

As for the product on the forge-

Tsumukari Muramasa no longer resembled a sword.

It looked like nothing more than a rusty iron rod.

"As expected of divine artifact forging..."

Shirou Emiya stared at it quietly.

"The burden on both body and soul..."

"Even true gods probably couldn't endure this for long."

After a moment, he lifted the iron rod from the forge.

His expression was satisfied.

"It seems I'll be very busy every night from now on."

"Storing magical energy during the day."

"Forging at night."

"Before that moment arrives..."

"I need to finish this weapon."

"The time should be enough."

Planning the future, Shirou Emiya's lips curved slightly.

He was on the right path.

...

The next morning, due to the exhaustion of the previous night, Shirou Emiya slept in for the first time in a long while.

When he finally woke up, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, and Ana had already gone out-and returned.

"Yo."

Merlin leaned lazily nearby.

"I thought you were planning to sleep until dark."

"Merlin, shut up."

Shirou Emiya glared at him, visibly irritated.

"I've got important things to do at night lately."

"So when I go back to my room, don't come looking for me."

"Understood, Mr. Shirou."

Mash replied seriously.

Seeing her earnest expression, Shirou Emiya couldn't help smiling.

"You're really cute, Mash."

"C-cute...!"

Mash's face instantly turned red.

She looked away, flustered.

Shirou Emiya shook his head lightly.

"Anyway."

"I have some new companions to introduce."

"New companions?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked around.

There was no one there.

"That's right."

Shirou Emiya raised his hand.

A golden hexagonal prism appeared.

Light flashed.

Two figures emerged.

"Greetings, everyone. Please take care of us."

"Ah-p-please take care of us too!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash hurriedly returned the greeting.

"These two are Shuna and Little Rimuru."

"My secretary."

"And my daughter."

"Daughter?!"

Everyone froze.

Their eyes locked onto Little Rimuru.

No one had expected that.

"Haha, don't misunderstand."

Shirou Emiya waved his hand.

"Little Rimuru."

"Yes!"

A red light flashed.

Little Rimuru transformed into a bow, resting in Shirou Emiya's hand.

"As you can see, she was personally crafted by me."

"Through a twist of fate, she became a true life."

"So she's my child."

After he finished speaking, Little Rimuru floated out of his hand and transformed back into her human form.

She stood quietly on the floor.

"Now you understand?"

"We do."

Although she wasn't his biological daughter, the idea of a weapon becoming a living person was more than enough to shock everyone.

With Shuna's natural communication skills, it didn't take long for everyone to warm up.

The living room quickly became lively.

Shirou Emiya glanced around.

Then he walked over to Siduri.

"I've been pretty busy lately."

"So I'll probably stay in the city to help."

"In that case-"

He smiled.

"They'll head to the fortress in my place."
