"This...?"
Looking at the carts filled with precious materials in front of him, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but freeze.
"These are the materials the King has granted to Mr. Emiya. Didn't you request them?" Siduri asked, tilting her head slightly. "Why do you look so surprised now?"
"I just didn't expect there to be this much."
Shirou Emiya walked up to the carts and began examining the contents one by one.
And then, once again, he was stunned.
Every single item loaded onto the carts was extremely precious. Many of them were materials he had only ever heard of in name. After all, a large portion of these resources had completely vanished in later eras.
These were treasures that only existed in the Age of Gods.
Only then did Shirou Emiya truly understand what Gilgamesh had meant in the original timeline when he said-
"Everything in this era has been concentrated to reach this point."
This was a literal concentration.
"Indeed, it's quite a substantial amount," Siduri said with a gentle smile. "After all, these are all the precious materials stored in the King's treasury."
"All?" Shirou Emiya paused.
"That's right. All of them."
Siduri's tone was firm.
"To resist the Three Goddess Alliance, the King ordered everything of value from this era to be gathered, all for the sake of securing even the slightest chance of victory in the coming war."
"For that purpose, we constructed many structures and consumed an enormous amount of materials."
"But the ones we used were only high-quality materials."
She continued without hesitation.
"The structures required large quantities of materials of uniform quality to ensure that magical energy transmission would not be delayed."
"As a result, the very highest-tier materials were left unused."
"These are materials capable of forging divine artifacts."
"And forging divine artifacts is a domain that belongs solely to the gods. Even the King cannot do it."
Siduri looked straight at Shirou Emiya.
"Now, His Majesty has entrusted these materials to you."
"On one hand, it is a commendation."
"On the other, it is his hope that you can fully utilize them."
Under Siduri's expectant gaze, Shirou Emiya felt a quiet pressure settle on his shoulders.
Then he smiled.
"I won't disappoint anyone."
Holding the precious materials in his hands, Shirou Emiya's eyes were steady.
...
"Good morning, Mr. Shirou!"
"Good morning, Mash. Ritsuka."
Walking downstairs while yawning lightly, Shirou Emiya greeted Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.
"Are you two heading to work again today?"
"Yes," Mash replied seriously, raising a finger. "His Majesty said we should start with miscellaneous tasks."
Beside her, Fujimaru Ritsuka wore a wry smile.
Recently, the two of them had been laying bricks and building walls at construction sites.
It was an experience neither of them had ever imagined.
After all, who would have world-saving heroes start by moving bricks?
"Then you two better hang in there," Shirou Emiya said with a warm smile as he sat down at the dining table and accepted the breakfast Mash handed him.
Although Shirou Emiya could easily help them skip the process of gaining Gilgamesh's trust, he had no intention of doing so.
Unlike other protagonists, the Demon God King Goetia was not the end of Fujimaru Ritsuka's journey.
After this, there were still the Lostbelts.
And considering that Fujimaru Ritsuka was a game protagonist, there would likely be countless adventures even after that.
Everything they experienced now in this singularity would become strength later.
For them, tempering was necessary.
"I don't think it's hard at all," Mash said with a bright smile. "It's actually a very novel experience."
Then she paused.
Her gaze shifted.
"Mr. Shirou... what is that on your back?"
Unlike before, Shirou Emiya now carried a long, bundled object behind him.
"This?" He unfastened the bundle and laid it out on the table.
What appeared before them was a solid iron rod.
"This is...?"
"This is my sword."
"Sword?" Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka exchanged glances, both reacting at the same time.
"That's right," Shirou Emiya said as he gently ran his hand over the iron rod. "It's a sword."
"This is my soul sword."
"But it's currently in a transitional state, so I can't retract it into my body."
"Soul sword...?" Mash hesitated. "Is this your Inherent Spiritual Dress?"
During their time together, Shirou Emiya had selectively shared parts of his past. Because of that, Mash and Ritsuka already had some understanding of his abilities.
"That's right."
This was his Inherent Spiritual Dress.
Tsumukari Muramasa.
The steel wrapped around it was his Unlimited Blade Works.
At present, Shirou Emiya could still use Projection Magecraft.
But Unlimited Blade Works itself was no longer usable.
It was merging into the sword.
"Although this miracle was initiated by me," Shirou Emiya said calmly, "even I don't know what its final form will be."
"But that's exactly why it matters."
Because it was immeasurable.
Watching Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash leave for work after breakfast, Shirou Emiya smiled faintly.
Then he turned and headed toward the blacksmith's shop.
That was where he spent his days.
...
Clang.
Clang.
Clang.
The sound of metal echoed endlessly.
Inside the sweltering forging room, Shirou Emiya continuously brought his hammer down upon the long steel bar before him.
This was once Tsumukari Muramasa.
Now, it was a Sword Embryo.
At last, he stopped.
"...Finished."
Shirou Emiya looked at the iron bar standing nearly as tall as a man.
Satisfaction filled his eyes.
After forging Unlimited Blade Works into his Inherent Spiritual Dress, Tsumukari Muramasa, he had begun the second step of his plan.
During the day, after guiding the craftsmen, he would retreat to his personal forging room and gradually fuse the precious materials bestowed by Gilgamesh into the Sword Embryo.
At night, deep within his soul, he continued forging.
Using the Hammer of the Divine Smith.
A hammer that carried the power of miracles.
Nearly a month passed.
By then, every precious material Gilgamesh had granted was fused into the Sword Embryo.
Along with them, Shirou Emiya's Authorities were sealed within it.
The Authority of the Wind and Lightning Chaser, inherited from the Divine King Melqart.
The Authority of the Hammer of the Divine Smith, inherited from the Chief God Hephaestus.
And the Warrior aspect from the Ten Incarnations of the God of War.
With these Authorities sealed, Shirou Emiya was currently at his weakest.
After all-
Almost everything that defined his power now slept within that sword.
