【 。。。。。】
『 On the screen, a beautiful goddess with black hair and red eyes, dressed in luxurious but slightly revealing attire, twirled her long hair. Every movement seemed to captivate souls. 』
『 。。。。。』

【 Gintoki Sakata (Gintama): “Hehe, is it what I'm thinking of?” 】
【 Vinsmoke Sanji (One Piece): “Could it be that such a cute goddess is a trap?! Ahhh! Hmm? It doesn't seem impossible!” 】
【 Hikigaya Hachiman (Oregairu): “Is such a cute god really male? It's just like a little angel, truly making one feel...” 】
【 Komachi Hikigaya (Oregairu): “Boo, broken big brother gets super low points from Komachi!” 】
【 Touma Kamijou (A Certain Magical Index): “Since she's a goddess, how could she have such a thing? Kamijou-san thinks we might have misinterpreted the Administrator-san's meaning, or perhaps this is a trap to begin with.” 】
【 Jason (Type-Moon): “Oh my~ A young man who says that is clearly young. Do you know Greece? Oh my god, Greece can pull off any explosive stunt. A cow? A cow is nothing! Do you know Zeus...” 】
【 Zeus (Type-Moon): “What do you want to say, Jason?!” 】
【 Yamato (One Piece): “hmmm, I have no clue what type of goddess this Ishtar might be.” 】
【 Saten Ruiko (A Certain Magical Index): “Um, according to records, Goddess Ishtar is the Babylonian goddess of nature and harvest, and also the goddess of love, fertility, and war. Sometimes she is also a symbol of Venus.” 】
【 Gilgamesh⦍Chūnibyō⦎ (Type-Moon): “Hehe, there's no follow-up record of how promiscuous this woman is?!” 】
【 Ishtar (Type-Moon): “Hey! Gilgamesh, are you looking for trouble?! Also, it is not a COW!! It's a B—U—L—L!!” 】

Tohsaka Villa
“Mongrel! Why are you everywhere! You harlot!”
Gilgamesh, burned with rage in his crimson serpentine eyes, followed by a furious roar!
“The scene of this King and my friend, how dare such a filthy mongrel intrude!”
“King... you know...”
Tokiomi Tohsaka hesitated to speak, staring at the screen in shock, unable to regain his composure.
Good news: He got a chance to answer.
Bad news: How could a gentleman like him know the answer to a question like
“Where did the goddess's cow go?”
And why did the face of that Goddess Ishtar seem so familiar, like...
Tokiomi Tohsaka fell into distress.

〜Type-Moon World, ????? Worldline, Chaldea〜
“This, this is Goddess Ishtar?! Then, where is the goddess's cow?”
At Chaldea headquarters, Dr. Roman, Da Vinci, Ritsuka, Mash, and others all leaned back tactically, watching the screen.
They had already gone through six Singularities and were preparing for the seventh, so they had to remember any information about Mesopotamia!
First, Goddess Ishtar's cow (bull)... The young Gudao's face gradually twisted and turned pale.
。。。。。
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia
Mesopotamian Plain
“My bull...”
A look of extreme wonder appeared in her jewel-like eyes. After a moment of bewilderment, she gradually came to understand everything.
With her remaining intelligence, after confirming that she didn't have a bull, she concluded that the so-called 'cow' was her Heavenly Bull, Gugalanna!
“Hmph hahahaha! As expected of this goddess! I'm truly too smart~ It seems asking God Father for another authority of wisdom wouldn't be too much,”
Ishtar turned gracefully, covering her mouth and laughing.
But she laughed until she cried.
“So, where did my Gugalanna go?!”
Boo hoo hoo!

〜3-Body Problem World〜
In the star sea, countless interstellar warships, shimmering with dark light, slowly docked.
Inside the ships, waves of electromagnetic signals spread through the minds of the Trisolarans.
“Unable to resolve—”
“Unable to resolve—”
“Unable to resolve—”
The mirror-like humanoid figures, after a unanimous vote, had transparent thoughts; there was no concealment.
Then all the Trisolarans fell silent.
After confirming that they could not solve the Trisolaran problem, they chose to migrate, came to the solar system, and found Earth.
And the Trisolarans had already confirmed that Earth civilization had not yet mastered the Dark Forest Law. Next, they should dispatch the Droplet.
They were clearly here first...
But why, as the Trisolarans looked at the screen before them, could they not comprehend what kind of existence this screen represented?
After calculations, neither the Droplet, anti-matter bullets, nor even the two-dimensional foil could affect the screen in the slightest. Even traveling at full warp speed for a hundred years could not escape this screen.
Even the legendary Returners could not change it by an iota.
The more they understood, the more they feared.
The only comfort for the Trisolarans was that the entire universe seemed to be facing this crisis now.
No one could escape.

At the same time, the countdown ended, and the three answers appeared on the screen. Everyone's gaze turned to the screen.
〜Myriad Worlds livestream Chat〜
【 Ishtar (Type-Moon): “In the Underworld! That rotten woman must have stolen my bull!” 】
【 Tokiomi Tohsaka (Type-Moon): “On the goddess's body.” 】
【 Trisolaran Leader (3-Body Problem): “Unable to predict.” 】
【 Ding! All three answers are incorrect. The correct answer is: Ishtar's 'Cow'— 】
【 That's in the Sixth Holy Grail War! 】
【 。。。。。】
〜Type-Moon World, Fate/Strange Fake Worldline〜
Clock Tower
Lord El-Melloi II's eyes widened sharply!
“The Sixth Holy Grail War? That shouldn't be!”
He stared at the words on the screen in shock and uncertainty. Shouldn't the Holy Grail War have stopped after the Fifth?
Moreover, how could Fuyuki's magic power support another Holy Grail War? Could it be that a new Holy Grail War was held elsewhere?

〜Type-Moon World, Fourth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
“Holy Grail War?”
Artoria's ahoge twitched sharply upon hearing this.
Holy Grail?! Where is the Holy Grail! Did she participate?!

〜In the Inner Sea of the planet, In The Furthest Tower〜
“Oh dear, because of the screen recently, no one has come to see cute magical girl Merlin-chan anymore~”
“Thank you, top supporter 'Strawberry Cake Lover Dr. Roman' for the super fireworks. Merlin-chan is going offline now.”
The cute girl with petal-pink and white hair made a heart shape with her hands in front of her chest, then quickly went offline and eagerly looked at the screen.
A moment later, the magical girl showed a perverted smile,
“Ehehehe~”
“It really is the Sixth Holy Grail War, this is much more interesting than other Holy Grail Wars~~”
Merlin-chan is getting excited now~
