Evening

Before long, four teenagers exited the mansion's workshop, discussing some last-minute preparations as they headed for the main living room.

Ayaka: And that's the game plan. I'll call it Operation 'Confuse, Defuse, and Abuse'.

Rin: I don't like it, but it does make sense...

Ayaka: Mmm-Hmm. Sakura's magecraft wouldn't be very effective against other magi, but it's a damage mod tailored for Servants. 

Sakura: I was thinking the same thing, but I wasn't so sure. I'm glad I'll be able to help.

Shirou: Isn't Caster a magus from the Age of the Gods, though? Sounds like she'd have countermeasures for every spell.

Ayaka: And that's where the "Confuse" part comes into play. As the name implies, it's a three-stage strategy. We've only got one shot, so we make it count.

Shirou: You sure you don't want me to help?

Ayaka: Nah, I've already set the team comp. Plus, you'll be worried if you don't know how Saber will be doing by herself.

Shirou: *sigh* Yeah...

Sakura: Don't feel bad about being in love, Emiya. I think you make a cute couple!

Rin: Yeah, not all of us can boast about being in a relationship with King Arthur, of all people. Have some pride in that.

Shirou: O-Oh, thanks... I guess?

Ayaka: *smirk* Yeah, Mr. Hero of Justice, have some pride in the "bone of the sword".

Shirou: *groan* Please don't say that again...

Ayaka: You better get used to suffering cringe if you're gonna become a superhero. Maybe come up with a catchphrase. How about "I am the bone of my sword"?

Shirou: I am literally going to give up my dream if you don't stop talking about it.

Ayaka: If the hero business doesn't work out, you'd make a killing as a gigolo, that's for sure.

Shirou: Okay, did your brother possess you while we weren't looking?!

She couldn't help but share a laugh with Sakura and Rin at Shirou's expense. The hero wannabe wasn't faring much better, fighting and failing to keep an amused smirk from appearing.

This lighthearted moment was brutally interrupted by a loud CLANG! resonating through the house. The four teenagers shared looks before they rushed to the living room, where they found a... peculiar scene.

(Y/N): Saber, I am very much unafraid of smacking an uncultured bitch.

Saber: You have been stalling for far too long. It is time for supper.

The Foreigner and Saber were locked in a very heated clash. Saber was using her invisible Noble Phantasm, and (Y/N) was using... a comically large spoon that was as tall as he was.

Rider stood behind (Y/N), with her chain weapons brandished and an uncharacteristically sour look on her face. Archer was in Saber's corner, brandishing a bow and looking half-confused, half-done with everything.

Ayaka looked to the side and saw Mitsuzuri sitting on the couch, flashing her an awkward smile as she waved. She decided to sneak closer to her without interrupting the scene.

Ayaka: Hey, uh, what's going on here?

Ayako: Uh, you see, your brother was making dinner with possibly the hottest woman I've ever seen... I mean, you're hot too, but fuuuuuck-
