((Note: We are back! It is time to finish season 1. I was planning on a Season 1.5 where Khiry entered the world of Fate/Grand Order, but I think it would be better off alone. Let's do this!))

No POV

Filo is pulling a carriage that has Naofumi, Raphtalia, Khiry, Mordred, Atalanta, Fran, Blaze & Astolfo inside it.

Raphtalia: Naofumi-sama... Naofumi-sama. 

Naofumi then looked at Raphtalia smiling at him.

Filo: We're here.

The 9 of them then went up to the new Church of the five heroes as the shield & daggers there.

Raphtalia: Look, Naofumi-sama. The crest has changed from three heroes to five. This country is about to change.

Naofumi: Yeah. & now we can upgrade classes instead of being turned away.

Khiry: You guys go ahead. We all got an ascension level increase when I visited the queen.

Naofumi: Are you sure?

Khiry: Positive.

Astolfo: Besides, Khiry is already in his Stage 2 outfit, so we should be fine.

The group then went inside to see two new people inside the church.

Knight #1: Her Majesty entrusted us with guarding the dragon hourglass. Now, come this way.

Khiry: Is the space I reserved here ready?

Mage #1: Why, yes. Of course. Right this way.

Khiry: I'll be back Naofumi.

Khiry POV

I then see the space I asked for to be a nice side for both rooms. I then pulled out the instructions for the modern bathhouse. I then summoned 50 clones of myself.

Me: Alright, guys. I am going to make a healing pool for the kingdom. Making a sento is going to be a bit problematic.

The other me are agreeing about building the pools, separating them from the men's & women's. It did take a while, but I finally managed to build several pools. However, I then followed Astolfo going into the pool bath.

Me: Astolfo... Don't tell me you are testing them out already.

Astolfo: Oh, come on. I won't be too long in there. Please?

I looked at him with concern.

Mirellia(Mind): Assassin, are you there? Is it okay if we talk?

I then noticed Astolfo go ahead as he was alone, telepathy with his master.

Me(Mind): Yes, Master?

Mirellia(Mind): I'm planning to throw a party tonight, with all five heroes in attendance.

Me(Mind): Do the others know about the party?

Mirellia(Mind): Yes. That said, the party is but an excuse. There's something I need the heroes to know about. It's extremely important.

Me(Mind): Ok. I'll be there.

I then pondered the thought of the other heroes sharing the information. I then shook my head.

Me(Mind): They ain't gonna share their info with us.

I heard the door close & then I looked at the person walking towards me. I then see the symbol, along with the class name.

Me(Mind): Ruler?

This Ruler possesses the body of a French girl whose physical build, spiritual build, personality, and Magical Energy are compatible with her. But her bust size alone is just slightly bigger. Her eyes were described as amethyst-colored eyes and they were completely pure. She didn't have the precise and molded beauty of a homunculus or the kind of cuteness that made one's heart flutter just by being nearby like Astolfo. She possessed a wondrous beauty that scarcely felt real. In her battle mode, she can transform into her battle dress with armor woven from Magical Energy to enclose her. Under her gauntlet, she has Command Spells engraved on her hand, whereas those special to command the Servants during the Great Holy Grail War are printed on her back with a similar shape drawn that of an angel. 

Ruler: Are you the new Assassin?

Me: That depends, who's asking?

Jeanne: Ruler, Jeanne d'Arc.

Me: Jeanne d'Arc... Joan of Arc? 

Jeanne looked a bit surprised that I knew her name.

Me: Sorry about that. Anyway, what is it?

Jeanne: Well... there is something you should know. It is about the Assassin of Red.

Me: Semiramis?

Jeanne: Yes. She & another servant are teaming up to defeat you & the others.

Me: Just one? Who is this servant?

Jeanne: Um, he is an Archer-class servant that is called... The Oldest King?

Me: The Oldest King...? Don't tell me... You are referring to the "King of Heroes" Gilgamesh?!

Jeanne then nodded. A vision then shows me The "King of Heroes" opening a bunch of portals with a smirk on his face. I then looked down in worrying.

Me: How?

Jeanne: You were a new servant, Assassin. They have probably noticed you & might see you as a threat.

Me: An archetype of an underdog. When will they attack?

Jeanne: During the next wave.

Me: That won't give me any information. I hope I can find out where.

Jeanne: You might not survive.

Me: I know.

The door opens & we then see Motoyasu walking toward us.

Motoyasu: Hey! Come on! The queen wants you at the meeting--

Astolfo: Oh, Ruler you're here?

Jeanne: Hey, why are you running around... naked...

Both Jeanne & Motoyasu started to look down toward Astolfo's tiny elephant.

Astolfo: Ruler, is something wrong? You're making a weird face.

I then covered my ears from both of the girls screaming.

Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Astolfo REAL gender

After dragging Motoyasu, we managed to make it to the meeting. I helped into his seat, but to wake him up, I slapped him hard. I then sit down in my chair. A few minutes in & there is tension in the air.

Mirellia: I would like to begin the conference soon, but you don't seem pleased to be here.

Naofumi: Since we're all here anyway, why don't we have a heart-to-heart?

Me: Go ahead & start.

Mirella: Recently, due to the Three Heroes Church's antics, our country has caused you a lot of trouble, & we would very much like to make it up to you. It seems Cal Mira Archipelago will activate soon.

Ren: Really?

Itsuki: It's going to generate a bonus field?

Naofumi: "Activate"?

Mirellia: By, activate, we mean the once-in-a-decade event where XP gained in the area is boosted.

Motoyasu: You didn't even know about that?

Me: Said the man who saw "a tiny elephant".

Those words sent shivers down Motoyasu's spine.

Melty: Excuse me.

Mirellia: You may enter.

Melty then entered the room & walked to the queen to tell her something. This led to disappointment from the queen.

Mirellia: It's a good thing didn't attend the party. Mal--no, Bitch apparently tried to poison the food meant for Iwatani-sama's & Cleveland-sama's party.

Motoyasu then got up from the seat.

Motoyasu: Lies! My--I mean, Slut would never do that!

((Note: That might take some time.))

Melty: No, Si--Bitch admitted it, thanks to her slave pact.

Motoyasu: N-No...

Me: I don't think she'll ever change, even with this fate.

Mirellia: Kitamura-sama, you have forged a slave pact with her as well. Why don't you confirm for yourself later?

Naofumi: Forget about that & keep going.

Mirellia: While my daughter's foolish action certainly played a part, the infighting between you heroes has prevented you from leveling up more. As such, to ensure that you level up efficiently in Cal Mira, why don't you speak your minds & exchange information?

Ren: There's no need for that.

Motoyasu: Exchange information? There's nothing to say.

Itsuki: It would be a waste of time.

Me: May I remind you about the ass-kicking you all got from that Glass character? If it wasn't for me, you three would be dead during the next wave.

The three of them are shocked at the words I have told them.

Ren: What do you mean?

Mirellia: Exactly what Assassin said. You three were defeated in the last Wave, so I doubt you'll survive the next one. All five heroes need to rally together to survive the Waves. Think of this conference as a way to cultivate that solidarity.

Itsuki: First, Let's ask Naofumi-san & Assassin.

Ren: Where'd you get that cheat shield & that form?

Me(Mind): Calm down, Satan.

Satan(Mind): They shouldn't talk to you like that, my lord.

Me: We ain't telling you anything. The shield & the forms are the results of hard work, perseverance, hard work, & understanding of the world & reality we are in. You don't have to Believe us, but unless you want to be strong, I ain't telling.

Itsuki: What do we do?

Ren: Do we have a choice?

Motoyasu: Fine... 1st, the basics. When you pick up a weapon of the same type as your legendary weapon, you can copy it using the weapon copy system.

Itsuki: It sure helped us at the start, because we got all these strong weapons for free.

Ren: Yeah.

Naofumi:  Wait a minute! All you have to do is pick it up?

Motoyasu: Yeah.

Itsuki: Naofumi-san, don't tell me you didn't know...

Me: Rather, from what he told me, it won't work with other weapons other than the shields.

Naofumi: Keep going.

Ren: Next, with the required crafting skill & recipes, when you feed your weapon the materials, it'll automatically craft the items you need.

Naofumi: God, I've been doing it by hand.

Itsuki: What's wrong with you? & then, there's a teleport skill. You can move instantly to any location you've registered with it. Wait, did you not know about this one, either? You don't seem to be aware, so I'll tell you the secret to growing stronger.

Me: Let me guess... Finding rarity weapons, growing your own weapon, & refining your stats. Am I wrong?

The three heroes are shocked that I know about that.

Motoyasu: What?

Ren: But...

Itsuki: How?

Me: How, you ask? The knowledge you guys got..... comes from Role-Playing Games themselves.

((DONE! KHIRY HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE SYSTEM & TOLD ALL ABOUT THE SYSTEM. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN BEFORE THE EVENT OF CAL MIRA? THANK YOU FOR WAITING FOR THIS STORY. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO COMMENT OR VOTE FOR THE FIRST KNIGHT CLASS THAT MY CHARACTER HAS UNLOCKED, SABER, ARCHER, OR LANCER. UNTIL THEN, STAY SHOCKING!!))
