—No letting our guard down just because it's a gag event! Let's go, Fou! Chibi Nobbu!
(You bet!)
『『『Nobu!』』』
Watching the scene with a smile, a hero stepped forward.
"You've got guts, coming out against an army this size. In that case, the greatest archer of the East—no."
Taking up a red bow, everyone's favorite swarthy "big brother" announced himself.
"The greatest archer of the Orient! Matsudaira Arash shall bring you to justice!"
"Exploding Tea! It's the Exploding Tea bowl! I know him! I've never heard his victory voice line even once!"
"The Stella Specialist! But nobody can criticize Nobbu for using him!"
Yes... Arash's Stella was exceptionally efficient.
Firepower unheard of for a 1-star, even more power with Overcharge, and a built-in "Order Change" to bring in the next sub-member without needing a Mystic Code. Every FGO player knew his Noble Phantasm better than their own father's face.
The one-hit wonder that saved every Master (in terms of farming). That was Stella. Every day, in countless Chaldeas, Arash making shooting stars was a common sight.
『I know what I have to do. Don't worry.』
With that smile and that resolve, no Master could ever truly hate Arash...
But, putting aside the meta-talk for a moment.
"Master, it's Arash-san...! Um... the real Arash-san is right in front of us...!"
"Yeah...!"
The Master who saved the world couldn't afford a half-baked assessment. Arash Kamangir standing before them was no different than facing Heracles or Cú Chulainn—this was the turning point of the battle!
"Heh, scared? Well, fear isn't always a bad thing. Don't worry. I won't eat you. I'll make sure you're fed properly."
—...
Ere silently prepared the Sword of Rupture, and the King of Heroes immediately accepted the silent request.
"Phew. I tried to make a joke of it, but the situation isn't changing. Now, what to do?"
Nobunaga stared at Matsudaira Arash with total focus.
Rikka drew her sword, donned her armor, and prepared to settle the match with a Command Spell.
"So don't worry. I won't let anyone mistreat prisoners on my watch. So, just relax—"
The gag atmosphere vanished, and the fuse for the final battle was lit—
...However, one must never underestimate the "Gag Spacetime" that has persisted since the dawn of creation. In a gag event, the gag is absolute. Just as a Galactic Emperor cannot beat a local policeman, and Vegeta cannot beat Arale-chan.
Because it is an unshakeable law—
『Don't give up, Master!!』
"Chaldea's Arash-san?!"
A gag event must remain a gag event—!
『We'll counter his Stella with a Stella of our own!!』
—What on earth is this Great Hero talking about—?!
"Stella... Arash-san flight... ugh! Senpai, my head!"
"Are you okay?! Mash, hang in there?!"
"Can you do it, Hero?"
『Don't worry, it's a daily occurrence. It's like I'm being prompted by Command Cards and Skills anyway!』
"This guy is way too used to exploding!"
"Hoh... so the only one who can stop me is me? I think I saw that in a basketball manga once. Fine! Your Stella versus mine—let's begin a dual-sniping match with a total range of 5,000 kilometers!!"
"IS THAT EVEN A BOW ANYMORE?!?!"
No sooner were the words spoken than Matsudaira Arash began charging an immense amount of energy.
『No time to hesitate! Master, don't worry! Masters from other worlds have made me use Stella twelve times in a single battle! In future events, they even established a 'Meteor Shower' tactic! One shot to answer your respect and trust is nothing!!』
"Everyone, all the Masters from other worlds!! Let's apologize to Arash-san together!!!"
Rikka, reaching the point of desperation, performed the summoning.
"Come! 'Arash-san'! 'Paracelsus'!!"
Summoned simultaneously, Arash immediately moved to activate his Noble Phantasm.
"I know why you called me. I'm the Guts-buff guy..."
"The Philosopher's Stone! Put the Philosopher's Stone on Arash-san!!"
"Of course... I'm quite good at making living corpses... I apologize for the karma of what I did to Master Hassan back then..."
"Just do it already—!!"
「「O Sun, most holy Lord! Lord of radiance, who grants all wisdom, dignity, and power—」」
"They're chanting! Rikka, they've started the full-voice chant from the livestream!!"
"Retreat—!! The power of Stella is too much for a gag event to contain—!!"
At the Master's command, everyone turned and ran for their lives.
"I'll hold the rear. Just in case." The King of Heroes stood guard at the back of the group.
—Chibi Nobbu squad! Is everyone here?! Roll call! —Okay! Everyone's here! Fou, you're here too, right?!
(Don't worry! I'm with you all the way!)
