Shirou let a trickle of drool down the edge of his lips until his mind wandered back to Rin as her Ishtar self, that girl was on a whole nother level of sexiness and grace, the likes of which he had only seen in Altria back then. Not to mention that there was that gorgeous Goddess Queatzacoatl, her physical strength is entirely unreal.’ He thought to himself when letting his thoughts drift to the imagery of Quetzal's body underneath that cultural loose-fitting outfit of hers excite the blood in his young body. ‘To think he’d be helping us, and considering this was a time before he became a Servant of the Grail, it’s surprising to find him and Rin both being Pseudo-Servants and allies with each other. Right now all he was doing was laying on his bed relaxing until things became crazy once more. Fairly recently Shirou had just returned with his Servant Mash from the Underworld, bringing Gilgamesh the King back in tow and securing a friendship with Ereshkigal.

It was odd seeing him play the role of non-antagonistic support this time around, he still had his haughty arrogance and wisdom obviously, but he was far less malicious and more than willing to help them out in taking the Grail out of this timeline. Then there was Gilgamesh himself, as his mortal more humane version of himself reigning as King of his people, leading Kuruk against the tide of Demonic Beasts that constantly attack it. Shirou found her to be even cuter to be honest, but he did let his eyes wander over Rin’s half-naked form flying through the air from time to time, often catching looks of her butt in that highly sexual outfit of hers. The two were literally the same human body, both complete with twin tails and representing different sides of Rin’s Tsundere personality. Then there was her other half Ereshikigal the Goddess of the Underworld. Still, it was still cute to see the girl behaving like she normally does while retaining the wisdom and grace of a Sumerian Deity. That alone was jarring in itself to Shirou, but he hated that this version of Rin had no memory or knowledge of him whatsoever. Shirou learned that was something akin to what was called a Pseudo-Servant, and while acting haughty and being powerful, she was still acting mostly like her true self in spite of it all. Rin Tohsaka, of all people, was brought into this singularity of the Age of Gods as a Goddess named Ishtar. The less he thought about that the better, but another thing that weighed on his mind right at this very moment was Rin. One major Earth-shaking experience was seeing a dark reflection of Altria, his Saber Servant from long back, turn into a Tyrant calling herself the ‘Lion King’. The latter being only a thing he had just heard about from Rin, Shirou had seen many interesting things in his adventures thus far like new Servants and the concept of Rayshifting. Being at Chaldea, which had summoned him right from the past and placed him in the futuristic Time-Travelling version of the Clock Tower. He was lying on his small bed inside of the Kuruk household that King Gilgamesh generously provided them and right now was running his head on how things like that even came to be. Still reeling from the events of both successfully outwitting Ereshkigal and convincing her to join their side, Shirou Emiya the Final Master of Humanity and Chaldea, wondered just how there came to be two Rin Tohsakas existing at the same time as literal Goddesses in this era.
