—Even if the King can win with only ten percent of his power, everything in this world belongs to him! We cannot leave his treasures lost!
(She's fired up, Fou!)
The "Precious Sommelier," Fou, made his entrance.
"And there you have it. I shall leave the path-clearing to you. We cannot begin until this anomaly is resolved." The pillar of Chaldea spoke with grand solemnity.
"Now, do your best to save us, Master! We're in a real bind!"
"Liar!"
Despite Rikka's blunt retort, the three of them lunged forward!
"Nobbu?!" "Buno?!"
Rikka neutralized them with blunt strikes and pressure points, careful not to chip her nails or mess up her hair. Okita warped through the air with grace, slashing them down, while Hijikata…
"Out of the way! Die!!!"
Hijikata was decapitating them, crushing torsos, and producing a literal explosion of Nobu-guts.
"His description is the only one that feels like a hardcore seinen manga…"
"This is no time for meta-commentary!" Okita shouted, skewerng a Nobbu as she approached the mysterious girl. "Who are you, and why are you here? You—"
"SHUT UP, OKITA!"
The mysterious hero delivered a gut-punch to Okita.
"Gofh?!" Okita coughed up blood and crumpled.
The hero stood tall and barked, "I have no business with the poster girl of a two-bit man-slaying club! The one I wanted to see was her!"
"What did Okita-san ever do to you…?"
"A pleasure to meet you! Strongest Master of Humanity! I've wanted to meet you! Saving the world was a job well done! To think you aren't even twenty, let alone fifty—it's irritatingly impressive! I love talented people! Therefore, I love you!"
"Oh, I just got a confession! Yay me!"
"Hmm, your voice sounds a lot like Okita's. It's confusing, so Okita, you aren't allowed to talk anymore."
"I will actually kill you! I mean it!!"
"Hey, I don't care about your bickering," Gilgamesh interjected, "But do get on with the report."
"Keep it professional," Hijikata added.
"Oops, sorry, sorry… I mean, Goldie! That's cheating! Your very existence is a cheat! A Goldie without the arrogance is just a broken character! You're so unfair!"
"Hmph. Tragic flags are nothing before Enuma Elish. More importantly, who are you? You speak fluent Japanese but your outfit has a distinct foreign flair. Are you a Japanese Heroic Spirit?"
"I'm glad you asked! Hiding your True Name is only fun for the first five minutes, so I'll give it to you straight! Listen and be amazed!"
A pose like a sentai hero was accompanied by the roar of gunpowder explosions.
"I AM! THE SIXTH HEAVENLY DEMON KING! YES! ME!!"
—Please calm down! That isn't a name! You only told us your pronouns!
"Oh, Oda Nobunaga, right?"
—So casual!
"Nobbu?! For real?!" Rikka was shocked. And for good reason.
"Her voice is a 6-Star!! Nobbu, you're amazing!!"
"Wahahaha! Right? Right? I have the kind of voice that defines an era and conquers the world! I've done everything from magical girls to heroines! It can't be helped!!"
Nobu sang out in a voice that was instantly recognizable to anyone who knew the "Voice of the World."
"Anyway, enough of that! First, I have to apologize. Sorry. I tried to drop by Chaldea for a visit and I messed up the landing. My bad."
"So lighthearted!"
"I forgive you. As long as you aren't an enemy, I care not," Gilgamesh said.
—So generous!
"Sweet! Now, as for why I'm so weak right now and why I came here… the reason is!"
(The reason is…?)
She fired a gunshot into the air and declared:
"It shall be revealed during our journey of Gudaguda Unification! Basically, from here on out… the world belongs to ME!!"
"No, Ms. Nobunaga! That's only going to last three days!"
"Mash?!"
—I suppose this means our journey to reclaim the King's treasures—and my pride—is beginning…!
(This story feels like it's going to be incredibly laid-back.)
"It is far too late for that. Well, if it is for amusement, we might as well enjoy the ride. Isn't that right, Ea?"
—Y-Yes! Once we've recovered the Gate of Babylon!
(Japan is great!)
Go for it! The Gorgeous Oda-Shinsengumi!!
"Rayshift coordinates locked. King of Heroes, please be careful."
"Alright! Everyone, follow me!!"
"Don't start taking charge, Nobbu! You aren't even a Chaldea Servant yet!"
"Oh, so now you're excluding me? Pulling the 'Seniority' card?!"
"I am a senior! Unlike you! UNLIKE YOU!!"
"Shut up, Okita! You want to settle this? Bring it!"
"I'll do it! Compatibility-wise, I have the advan—wait, are Archers strong against Sabers? Oh noooo!"
"Uha, lol, Okita is such a scrub."
"Just jump in already!! Shinsengumi, advance!!"
"Don't kick me, Hijikata-san—?!"
"Come on, Master! You come too! It'll be fun!"
"Waaaaah?!"
"Senpai—?!"
"What an absurdly loose battle this is… wait, what's this?"
"Nobbu…" "Nobu…" "Nobubu…"
—Come here, little ones.
"""! NOBBBUUUU!!"""
(Ahhh… Ea is so precious…)
—Fou is his usual self, I see!
"Alright, my Nobbu-minions, follow me! Let our journey begin!"
"""NOBBU!!"""
(Humans are terrifying for making fanart of these things.)
"Singularity lock complete. Now, back to the task of firing up Goredolf."
"I need to go do a side-by-side tasting of some sweets! For when everyone gets back! Sheba, join me!"
"Okay! I'd love to! ♥"
"Everyone is so relaxed. Well, I guess it can't be helped! —Wait, what?!"
