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

After staying in Fuyuki City for some time, Emiya decided it was time to leave for another world.

The reason was simple.

After the Fifth Holy Grail War, this world's story was essentially over.

Mahoutsukai no Yoru took place around 1980.

The Garden of Sinners was around 1995.

The Fourth Holy Grail War had ended ten years ago.

Tsukihime's timeline was even earlier than the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Ten years after the Fifth Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail would be dismantled.

Then, in 2014, because Chaldea did not exist in this world, Flauros would destroy himself and maintain the Grand Order of humanity.

After that, a few thousand years later, this world would enter the Steel Age.

All of that had nothing to do with Emiya.

So after lingering for a while, he finally chose to leave.

Before transmigrating, Emiya followed his usual routine.

First, he reinforced his body with magical energy.

Then he covered himself completely with Armament Haki.

He layered Nen protection over it.

Put on Invisible Armor.

And finally wrapped himself again with Nen.

With these layers stacked together, no matter what kind of world he landed in, as long as he wasn't killed instantly, he could retreat.

After that, Emiya activated his ability.

He vanished from the Einzbern castle.

The next second, he arrived in a new world.

And to his surprise-

He was in a bathroom.

A very familiar feeling.

In his last transmigration, he had also appeared in either a bathroom or a public bath.

Because of that, he had almost been killed by the Martial Arts King with a single slap.

Although things became more normal afterward, he didn't expect to end up like this again.

It was honestly frustrating.

Fortunately, although hot water was running, the bathroom was empty.

That alone made Emiya feel relieved.

At least he wouldn't be mistaken for a pervert.

However-

Whoosh.

The bathroom door was pushed open.

A long-haired woman holding a towel walked in.

She immediately saw Emiya standing in the middle of the bathroom.

She was clearly about to bathe.

Other than the towel in her hand, she wasn't wearing anything.

Emiya instinctively closed his eyes.

"Wait, let me explain-"

"Die!"

The woman instantly went berserk.

Her kick landed squarely on Emiya's head.

Bang!

Emiya was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through the window above the bathtub and launching straight into the courtyard.

But he wasn't hurt at all.

Those layers of protection weren't just for show.

Still, Emiya was genuinely impressed.

That kick had sent him flying.

This was not strength a normal woman should have.

After standing up, Emiya looked around.

Judging from the surrounding buildings, this was a Japanese-style garden.

A large one.

Clearly the residence of a wealthy family.

But Emiya didn't leave.

He stood there and waited.

Even if it wasn't intentional, he had seen her naked.

He felt he owed her an explanation.

Of course, that was only because she couldn't kill him.

If she had that level of strength, Emiya would have run without hesitation.

He wasn't stubborn like that.

After a while, the woman came rushing out of the house again.

This time, she was dressed conservatively.

The moment she saw Emiya, flames nearly shot from her eyes.

"I can explain," Emiya said quickly.

"Take this!"

She didn't listen.

Putting force into her toes, she shot toward Emiya.

In the next instant, her clothes ignited, bursting into flames.

Like a blazing meteor, she closed the distance and launched a flurry of attacks.

Emiya's eyebrow twitched.

This only confirmed it.

This world was definitely not simple.

And this woman looked extremely familiar.

Then it clicked.

"It's you... Mai Shiranui!"

The next moment, flames engulfed him.

A series of clean, ruthless strikes landed head-on.

Emiya didn't dodge.

Didn't retreat.

He took everything head-on.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

The sounds rang out repeatedly.

Every attack landed.

Not a single miss.

And yet, Emiya wasn't injured in the slightest.

Magic reinforcement.

Armament Haki.

Invisible Armor.

Multiple defensive layers held firm.

Even though Mai Shiranui's attacks were fierce, they couldn't break through.

She noticed.

After finishing her combo, she backed away, widening the distance.

"Who are you?" she demanded, eyes sharp with suspicion.

Her mind was racing.

She trusted her own strength.

Even if she wasn't top-tier, she was still first-rate.

In her memory, very few people could tank her attacks like that.

And none of them looked like Emiya.

"Can you listen to my explanation now?" Emiya asked.

Mai Shiranui hesitated for a few seconds.

Then she nodded, expression grave.

"I didn't enter your bathroom on purpose," Emiya said. "I have an ability that lets me appear anywhere in the world, but I can't choose the location. This was an accident."

Mai Shiranui sneered, about to speak.

Emiya continued calmly.

"Even if it was an accident, you're the one who suffered. So I'm willing to apologize and compensate you. I'm sorry."

He bowed slightly.

"Name your compensation. As long as it's not asking me to die, I'll agree."

Seeing his sincerity-and the fact that he hadn't fought back-her anger slowly faded.

"I'll let it go," she said. "But you have to answer one question."

"Alright."

"Who are you? What's your name? And where are you from?"

Emiya sighed. "Isn't that more than one question?"

"What? You don't want to answer?"

"That's not it. I just think you won't believe me." He paused. "My name is Emiya. I'm from another world."

"Huh?" Mai Shiranui frowned. "Are you messing with me?"

"I told you you wouldn't believe me."

She sneered.

"You know my name and still dare say you're from another world?"

Emiya snapped his fingers.

In the next instant, he took Mai Shiranui to another world.

He deliberately chose this one.

A typical other world.

The kind you could recognize at a glance.

For modern people who didn't believe in other worlds, it was the perfect medicine.

One dose.

Immediate effect.

Mai Shiranui stared at the streets.

Humans.

Elves.

Dwarves.

Beastmen.

Buildings with unmistakably otherworldly designs.

First, she froze.

Then she rubbed her eyes.

Then she froze again.

"What... is this?" she asked after a long silence.

"The Labyrinth City of Orario," Emiya replied. "A textbook other world. Do you believe me now?"

Mai Shiranui slapped her own face.

Finally, she calmed down.

"Can we go back?"

Emiya snapped his fingers again.

They returned to the garden.

Seeing the familiar scenery, Mai Shiranui quietly exhaled.

She looked at Emiya again, eyes filled with disbelief.

"You're really from another world?"

"The genuine article."

"You're from that Orario place?"

"No. I'm also from Earth. Just a different Earth. I can travel between worlds, but the landing point is random. This time, I just happened to land in your bathroom."

Mai Shiranui's face flushed red.

"What a disgusting ability."

"I don't want it either," Emiya said helplessly. "Last time I landed in a lake and almost got beaten to death by the Martial Arts King."

"The Martial Arts King?" she asked. "Who's that?"

"A strange woman who lived for over two hundred years. She killed gods."

"Killed... gods?" Mai Shiranui gasped.

"More than one," Emiya nodded. "If she went all out, destroying a country wouldn't be difficult. Sinking Tokyo into the sea wouldn't be either."

Mai Shiranui opened her mouth.

Then closed it.

This was completely beyond her imagination.

After a long while, she finally gathered herself.

Then she asked the question she cared about most.

"Why do you know my name?"

Emiya explained.

Again.

Mai Shiranui froze.

Again.

Her world was a game?

There were manga and anime?

She was a game character?

The game had somehow become a real world?

She wanted to deny it.

But Emiya's explanation was too coherent.

In the end, she had no choice but to believe him.

Emiya even went home, downloaded The King of Fighters '97 on his phone, and handed it to her.

Before she realized it, Mai Shiranui was completely absorbed.

Emiya: "...Hey. Wake up. A living person is standing right here, and you're addicted to a game. At least make me a cup of tea."

Mai Shiranui: "..."
