Avalon.
Wait, which First Emperor (Qin Shi Huang)?!
Is it the Lostbelt one or the pan-human history one... No, aren't they the same?
Meli suddenly raised her head from the bed. Although she was very pained (pleased) about Kyuukyuu Tsubaki's situation,
compared to that, if she could summon that person, the fun to be had would be too great!
Do you understand the value of a crest-worthy spirit foundation from pan-human history?!
Not a Grand, but possessing a crest-worthy spirit foundation.
Who in all of pan-human history has had that?
A true immortal's body, in some ways the strongest Servant, and that 'twin-tailed' Earth she longed for!!!
Meli was ecstatic, praising Brother Zheng? Because he was worth it!
...Qin Lostbelt
The wind swept over the small bridge and flowing water, a touch of the mortal world, with a timeless charm.
A towering figure stood at the bridgehead, looking at the two figures on the screen with a cold, unwavering expression.
"According to the Great Qin Law, dismemberment is sufficient, but..."
The First Emperor looked at the holy relic, which could be called a Noble Phantasm, in the screen.
"That thing cannot summon me; it can summon a flood dragon, though."

The safest city—Academy City
"That's not right," Saten Ruiko tilted her head, full of confusion.
"What's not right, Ruiko, tell us quickly," the other three members of the A Certain Scientific Railgun Group of Four asked curiously.
They found that Ruiko seemed to have extremely accurate guesses about what was about to happen in the screen!
It was like... it was like foreseeing the future? No, that kind of tree-shaped statistical chart could also be achieved based on countless simulations. If you really had to describe it, it was like 'holding the script'.
"I think the one summoned in the end shouldn't be the First Emperor."
"Hahaha, I'm just guessing, don't mind me," Ruiko's face flushed. Being watched by two powerful upperclassmen, an LV5 and an LV4... "Ruiko, tell us quickly~" Shirai Kuroko whined, "Even if it means giving up Onii-sama's cute quack doctor underwear..."
Bilibili—"Kuroko, you've been rotten since birth!" Misaka Mikoto's face was crimson. She cut her losses in time. Quack doctor underwear... she didn't like it at all! Ugh—
"Alright, I'll tell you, isn't that enough?"
"It's like this, my understanding of the Holy Grail War is that it's a mysterious summoning ritual. To summon a Heroic Spirit, you should need a corresponding holy relic, just like that middle-aged Magician who summoned Gilgamesh before."
"That's right, so isn't it wrong to summon the First Emperor here?"
"The problem lies here. From a God's perspective, we know that Tsubaki has already obtained command spells, which means she's a Master. So Tsubaki's scumbag parents' wish should have fallen through."
"Then how can Tsubaki, without a holy relic, summon a Servant?"
The A Certain Scientific Railgun Group of Four were full of curiosity.
Ruiko took a deep breath and said, "My guessed answer is compatibility. The Master themselves might be seen as the medium for summoning a Heroic Spirit."
"The one who interrupted the battle between King Gilgamesh and Enkidu earlier might be the Heroic Spirit Tsubaki summoned through compatibility!"
Meanwhile, in the Fate World
Fifth Holy Grail War Era
"Achoo—!" A certain twin-tailed girl, known as the Holy Widow, sneezed heavily.
"Archer, are you cursing me?!" Tohsaka Rin angrily said.
Red A: "...?"
...in the myriad worlds
Everyone looked coldly at the scumbag parents, wondering if summoning the legendary First Emperor would lead to 'Master-killing' at the start, just like King Gilgamesh?
As Heroic Spirits, they all possessed their own pride. Every Servant was a living Heroic Spirit from the long river of history. Except for certain evil existences and certain loyal dog characters, they probably wouldn't tolerate such beastly behavior, right?
Dog-bro: "...?"
What's wrong with being a loyal dog?
[Neither the father nor the mother cared at all about their unconscious daughter.
Perhaps, they never did, from beginning to end.
They were only relieved that Tsubaki's reproductive system was unharmed, still usable as a tool for procreation.
They only hoped that the command spells of the Holy Grail War would soon appear on their hands, and then they could quickly summon that powerful Heroic Spirit to win the Holy Grail War in one fell swoop.
But... the command spells did not reside on them. What appeared on them was something else—
Rot, collapse, ominous, calamity—
"What... is this?!" the man screamed in horror.
Bang—
When she turned her head, his wife had already been consumed by dense, festering sores and had fallen heavily to the ground, and the man was also completely devoured—
It was a disaster named 'Plague'.]
[Jeanne: "Wait! What is this! Has someone already started an ambush before the Holy Grail War?"]
[Prelati: "Tsk, where did this France Village Girl come from? She has no knowledge at all. Go back and read a few books first."]
[Genghis Khan: "This is plague. I know it too well."]
[Itadori Yuji: "But why would a plague suddenly strike? In a modern city, how could one get such a disease for no reason?"]
[Jogo: "Human boy, is your brain full of shit? You're here now, and you still haven't figured it out?"]
[Itadori Yuji: "It's all you."]
[Jogo: "...Wait, if I don't beat the shit out of you today, consider your bowels clean!!!"]
[Gabriel: "Whatever, I'm already satisfied. These scumbags deserve to go to hell!"]
[Chaotic Evil Gudako: "Satisfied already? Shouldn't they be hung up and tormented severely?!"]
In the center of the dark city, the girl named Kyuukyuu Tsubaki was still crying.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't abandon me, please, I'll try my best, don't abandon me!
But the girl never understood that her parents would not respond. Their love, from beginning to end, was never for the girl.
Crying and wailing, in a world of despair, no one would respond to the girl. That was the truth... But...!
In that instant, something noticed the girl.
Suddenly, the girl stopped crying. In the darkness of the abyss, a ray of light pierced through the darkness, appearing in the girl's sorrowful eyes!
The entire world was shrouded in darkness, the sound of silent world rumbling, a Servant unique to the girl, responded to her!!!
This Servant was so peculiar that it didn't even have a form, as if it emerged from a despair even deeper than darkness.
But the girl was not afraid, because in this unvisited world, for the first time, someone appeared... someone who could fill her loneliness.
'Question, are you the Master who summoned me?' A blurry consciousness materialized as text.
Master? The girl, who didn't understand the meaning at all, happily responded, "Hello, I'm Kyuukyuu Tsubaki."
The girl was still sleeping, but this time it was in a world with her parents' company. The girl once again felt her parents' 'love'.
"Happy birthday, Tsubaki," the parents, consumed and controlled by the plague, smiled as they prepared for her birthday.
"Mm!" But in the girl's eyes, her parents hadn't changed, still loving her so much, only that Mom and Dad never brought up anything about magic anymore.
The happy girl ran all the way to her room and, facing the dark shadow on the wall, was immensely grateful.
"Thank you, you called Daddy and Mommy over, didn't you?"
The black shadow slowly revealed three white lines, seemingly smiling in response.
The girl became even happier—
In that profound darkness, a figure riding a warhorse seemed to be treading on skeletons, eternally spreading calamity and ill omens.
Rider—Pale Rider!

Academy City
"Ah ah ah! I get it!!!" Blue Hair suddenly realized during self-study class!
He got it, he finally got it!
Tsukuyomi Konomi, Kamijou Touma, and others stared blankly at Blue Hair.
Blue Hair adjusted his glasses. Under the unscientific glare of the lenses, Blue Hair pointed at Kamijou Touma and said in a low voice, "Shinji wa itsumo kimi no o-furo ni iru—!"
"That's right! Pale Rider is just like Kamijou—a lolicon!!!"
All the classmates instantly showed expressions of 'That's right, it really seems to be like that' and whispered, "I heard that guy secretly keeps a holy maiden loli at home as forbidden rot~"
Kamijou Touma: "...?"
Fukudatsu!!!
