At Mount Enzou, Shirou, no longer in his Eternal King state, stood tall and observed Gil, who was still searching for his Class Card. He couldn't help but ask, "Hey, maybe the card fell into the parallel world?"

In the 'Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya' anime universe, after it got sucked into the parallel world, Angelica Ainsworth ends up picking up his Class Card. However, in the manga version, Angelica already had Gil's Class Card in her possession. Now, Shirou can't quite figure out what kind of world they are in.

Gil scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat perplexed, and then shook his head. "Nah, I don't think so. My Sha Naqba Imuru is telling me that my other half is still somewhere around here."

Shirou raised an eyebrow. "Can't your Sha Naqba Imuru pinpoint the exact location of your Class Card?"

Gil shook his head again and pointed at him. "Nope, your skill is interfering with it. Likewise, my skill is messing with yours too."

"I see..." He stood up and said, "Well then, I guess I'll be on my way."

"Aren't you gonna stick around and search with me?" Gil flashed a pure smile. "Fujimaru-niisan?"

He frowned in disgust, then shook his head, "Sorry, but I really need to head back."

"Ah, what a shame." Gil sighed.

"Oh, and by the way," Gil added, "Ea accidentally tore the barrier between this world and that parallel world again just now."

Shirou wasn't the least bit surprised that Ea had the power to tear through barriers between worlds. In the end, it meant a headache for Zelretch, who would be tasked with handling the repairs.

However...

"Why did you say 'again'?" He picked up on that detail.

Gil smiled and explained, "Because Ea was already used once in that parallel world to break down the barriers between both worlds. And that's also the reason why the Holy Grail... oops, I mean that lovely lady, found herself falling into this world."

Frowning, he asked, "So, you're saying that the gods from that world are coming here because of the barriers torn down by Ea?"

Gil-kun shook his head, "It's not like that. It's because the magic of that mage went berserk over 1500 years ago. There were already some issues between the two worlds. And over those 1500 years, many things from the parallel world ended up falling into this world, but fortunately, someone managed to clean them up."

"I see..." Shirou nodded, then turned around and activated the wings of evil on his back, flying off into the distance.

"You didn't stop asking... Do you already have the answer in your heart?" Gil smiled mischievously. "For over 1500 years, amidst the invasion of the parallel world, someone has been protecting this world. But who could it be? Of course, it's a witch wandering in darkness."

Gil's face lit up with delight, "I must admit, I'm quite intrigued by this grand spectacle, Eternal King. Being targeted by a woman can be quite terrifying, especially if she's a powerful one."

He had once been targeted by a powerful yet foolish woman, or rather, a foolish goddess. She had toyed with him to the point of nearly breaking him entirely. Even his sole friend had been defeated by her.

"By the way, I wonder where my Class Card has fallen to?" Gil scratched the back of his head with some distress, then continued to dig through the soil in the large pit.

...

As Shirou flying all the way back home, he couldn't help but notice a crowd of people gathered at the doorstep of their house, all staring in the direction of Mount Enzou. Even several helicopters were heading towards the mountain. Clearly, the intense battle he had with Gil earlier had grabbed the attention of the people on the surface world.
