(3rd's pov)
The Haki Ryoto unleashed could be felt in the whole Chaldea organization, and so recognized the feeling.
---
"Grandfather?" A petite blonde asked no one in particular as she stood up and headed toward the feeling.
---
"Gramps back!" Another blonde woman, although more wild-looking one that could be called a tomboy, yelled in excitent as she jumped out of her bed to run towards her Grandpa.
---
"That feeling. Is he already back?" A petite green-haired woman with animal characteristics said with a small smile as she set her sights on her next target.
---
The woman in the room said nothing as she felt domination through her whole body and through all of her senses. The only thing she did was to let out a battle-hungry smile.
---
"Hmm?" A beautiful woman with gorgeous long hair felt sothing familiar in the air. As her eyes were covered by a blindfold, she felt it even more than other people. Despite the feeling of danger, she smiled warmly.
---
"Oh? If it isn't, darling. He ca back much earlier than I thought he would, but he tends to surprise people." She said as she cupped her cheek with her hand.
---
"So the bastard is back. *Tsk* He is lucky that he didn't take a long ti. Otherwise, I would burn him." A pale woman with long white-blonde hair and yellow eyes comnted as if trying to convince herself.

(Ryoto's pov)
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Ryoto, fighting in Chaldea is forbidden unless in the training area!"
A red-haired girl jumped in between and the beast. She was pretty brave for doing that when I was ready to attack at any mont, but this allowed to take a mont and think about my situation. What I did was purely instinctual. I could feel the danger from that fluffy creature, but it was only the feeling I got. It didn't have any intention of attacking or fighting or anyone. It's just a passive aura that he possesses, and apparently, only I can feel it. It may be because of combined power of Spider-Sense and Haki.
I finally relaxed and let go of my Zanpakuto.
"Sorry about that. It looks like your... pet, scared a bit. How did you ta it, by the way? I doubt you just fed him and it just followed." I relaxed a bit, but I was still feeling tense. I could still feel that it could kill at any mont if he wanted.
Suddenly, I felt a body hanging on . I looked down to see the redhead with a big smile.
"It's really you, Ryoto. I an, you said that you would return, and I believed you, but it was much faster than I thought. I'm so happy that you are here." She then started whispering. "I don't know how long I would be able to handle all these Servants without you. They get lonely really easily and have issues with the capital I."
I am so lost, but I have an idea or two. First, I picked the girl up by her the collar of her shirt and put her down. Then I took out a lollipop and gave it to her. She talks too much. Maybe it will keep her quiet for a while.
I looked at the murderous machine in the form of a small pet, and it looked... amused and smug.
He knew what he had done, and he wasn't sorry at all. Little bastard, he won't get any lollipops from . We'll see how he behaves when I start cooking.
"Can we start introducing ourselves? We told you our nas, but we still don't know yours."
Rin made a reasonable suggestion. I may have recognized these two, but their nas sohow slipped my mind. I almost always call them cute eggplant and gacha addict.
"Well, we know Ryoto *Slurp*, and you have his surna. Slurp Are you his sister? Slurp" The red-headed maniac said in between licks.
"I'm his partner." / "What do you an, you know ?" / "Are you cheating on again!!? Ryoto!!!"
Three voices, three questions, and one surprise arrival.
We all turned our heads to the source of the third voice. It was a beautiful woman wearing dark armor, a pale complexion, yellow eyes, and a pissed-off expression. I kind of rember her but never t her.
I turned my head to Rin who raised her eyebrow as she crossed her arms.
"I've never t that woman in my life," I defended myself as I pointed at the pale woman. This caused eggplant and my summoner to flinch and create so distance between us. At the sa ti, the angry woman clenched her fist to create fire and threw it at .
I may have been cursed by so kind of fire god because I keep getting attacked by fire. Sucks to be him. He can't do anything to hurt .
I raised my hand and, with gracious movent, took over a fireball and allowed it to keep burning over my hand. My maneuver was done with ease, but it made reveal my left side and the lack of my arm. Everyone in the room was shocked by the revelation, but I didn't focus on them, so I turned to Rin.
"Aren't you a little heartless, Rin? Allowing an attack on your poor partner?" I asked as I exaggerated my movents, to which she rolled her eyes, slightly amused.
"You know that I know what you feel at all tis, and you weren't worried for a mont. You are mostly confused, just as I am." She then turned to the other people in the room. "Can soone explain how everyone here seems to know Ryoto?"
"Who is the bitch or bastard who did this!!? I'll burn them!!! I'll burn them all!!! Was it that harlot next to you!!?" The pyromaniac scread. Ahh. A tsundere. It explains so things, but it is better to have a na to call her, so I opened my eyes and used sothing that I hadn't ever done. I know that I could.
All Seeing Eyes of God were made to perceive the 'Truth' of the world, whatever it ans, so I could see a person's true na if I tried hard enough, and that's what I did. Above her head, letters appeared and started forming a na: Jaunne D'Arc (Alter).
Right, Jalter. How could I ever forget?
"Apparently, we won't get any answers any ti soon." Rin mumbled under her breath as she massaged the bridge of her nose.
I would try clapping to gather attention, but I would miss sothing vital for it to work. That's why I settled for the next best thing. I made the fire in my hand light up to a dangerous degree, only to make it disappear monts later. The contrast of light made everyone's attention shift to .
"Now that everyone is listening, I'll explain a few things. First, this is the first ti I've been here. If you sohow know of , it was not the current . Second, the arm is not an issue. Don't ask. And third, can we finally introduce ourselves, or were manners not invented in this world?" I pointed at the redhead. You. Na. Now."
Under my commanding voice, she straightened her back and saluted. It was funny, so I didn't comnt on it and allowed it.
"Ritsuka Fujimura, humanity's last Master of Chaldea!"
I turned my eyes to the cute eggplant.
"Mash Kyrielight! I'm Senpai's Servant!"
And lastly, I turned to Jalter.
"...Jeanne D'Arc Alter. I'm called Jalter by so... and I'm supposed to be your lover."
...Now, this is awkward. I don't even attempt to explain myself because Rin knows that I know nothing about it, thanks to our connection. But not everyone here knew about it, so I tried explaining myself, but a new person entered the room before I could.
"The genius Leonardo Da Vinci-chan can explain everything and clear everyone's confusion." Mona Lisa look-alike, also known as Leonardo da Vinci, busted into the room and started explaining with visible excitent. "But first, we should make sure that this Ryoto is the one we know and that we can accomplish it easily with one simple question. Ryoto, can you show your arm?"
I'm not sure where this was going, but I did what I was asked to do and flexed my biceps, which caused my sleeve to burst open, revealing my arm in the process.
Everyone in the room instantly crossed their arms over their chests and nodded their heads.
"Yup, it's him.
"No mistake about it, Senpai."
"Only this idiot would do sothing like that." It seems my fa precedes . Not that I'm complaining.
"Now that we have confird the identity of our dear friend here, let's talk about why he doesn't seem to recognize anyone here. The answer is simple to soone like . Ryoto once shared with that there is a special being and there usually is only one of him, so that ans that before us stands is from the past. A younger Ryoto Yuuki! This is exciting to see with my very own eyes!"
"Younger Ryoto? So how are you right now?" Jaunne asked .
"I'm about 286 years old."
The eyes went wide, but I just shrugged and turned to Leo.
"I would ask you not to allow anyone more to et and also don't spoil my future. It either won't matter, or everything will be fucked, and I would rather not take any chances."
"Right ahead of you. I warned every Servant and even so staff mbers that you were close with. Your summoning was a surprise to everyone, and I was lucky enough to observe the attempt. Our dear Alter here was just too fast, even for a genius such as . Now, I would guess you want to start your cooking adventure in Chaldea.
I was curious how she guessed my purpose here, so I asked. The answer made laugh out loud because it was so obvious.
"That's simple. You'll tell .
---
True to da Vinci's words, I haven't t a single soul after I left the summoning room. I went to the kitchen, and with the help of Rin, we made a feast with requests we received through da Vinci. I'll say that cooking with one arm still is a small challenge, but Rin was there to help with anything I had so difficulties with. Our coordination was even more perfect than it used to be, and we finished cooking dinner and baking desserts in record ti.
With this done, we were finally sent ho.
(3rd's pov)
"Is he gone?"
A man with fluffy hair tied in a ponytail leans out of the corner, but before he gets his answer, he is kicked in the back, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Stop acting like a clown Roman. Our systems said that his signature vanished already." A white-haired woman with amber-colored eyes in her early 20s said. "And as much as he was the cause of my many headaches, he was smart enough to stop learning about his possible future. If not for him, Chaldea as a whole may have possibly been destroyed and, with it, humanity's future. I wouldn't want to take any unnecessary risks if failure ans the end of humanity. And without him, you wouldn't work half as hard as you did."
"Oh, don't be like that. I bet you wanted to et your hero~ in his younger days." The redhead tapped the young woman with her elbow, and she had a smug expression plastered on her face.
"Fu-ji-ma-ru! Do you really want to be on cleaning duty from now on?" She warned humanity's last Master, and Fujimaru quickly stopped her teasing.
"I didn't say anything. Oh, look at the ti. Mash and I had a scheduled training session for about now. Bye!" The redhead grabbed her kouhai and escaped, while Roman snickered secretly until he stopped when he was discovered. However, as he was lecturing, he realized sothing.
"Do you think that Ryoto asked to bring Fou at every summoning just to scare his younger self?"
Silence prevailed in the hallways until the scream could be heard by the whole organization.
"RYOTOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
"Gramps!!!" The wild looking blonde entered the room with her sword in her hands, ready to fight. Not seeing the person she was looking for she looked around. "Where is he?"
"Modred, he already left. Either way he wouldn't recognise. He was Ryoto from before he arrived to Chaldea." The white haired woman explained.
"Oh man. And I wanted to spar..." Modred turned from her cheerfulness to being downcast.
"I for one am happy he left so fast. I can never guess what's inside his head. Any attempt at doing that would cause imnse headache. Not to ntion his cooking pranks are annoying even though Servants clothes can be regenerate with ease using a bit of mana its still like playing Russian roulette with his food."
A man with white hair slicked back, black upper body armour and red shroud said as he entered the room shortly after the blonde knight.
"You are just saying that because he took your job from cafeteria and criticised your cooking." Mordred said as she stick out her tongue at which the man sighed.
That day in Chaldea a feast worthy of festival was held and Servants parted like there was no tomorrow with a lot of females Servants had happy expressions eating familiar food once again.
