[X] [Head to the Castle]
I choose this option for roughly the same reasons as two chapters ago, it would be a good idea to build rapport with Illya and coordinate with an experienced master with a strong servant.
Also, it's nice to know that Shirou is feeling the same frustration as I am about this war. I'm pretty certain that we are already past the number of servants that usually appear in a grail war, and it's not like any extra classes or factions have been established either.

Also their pain tolerance is fucking bullshit. They manage to hold a conversation while having their Circuits rearranged via a hand in their intestines.
Counter point. This seems to be lostbelt Guda, there is a non zero chance that an interaction with Kirei would lead to a death match on sight. Normal Guda may be able to be reasonable enough to not attack on site but Mash is about 80% of Guda's impulse control.

We need to bring Shirou's "lost" sister back home!

Or move into the heavily defended castle that will stand up to attacks better than Raiga's neat manor.

I enjoy the interactions, but I feel like I'm losing the plot. Or at least how to proceed. We know the war be fucked more then a usual war, and that it's fucked enough a time traveler has shown up to help fix it, but they're down their servant. Helping her find the Servant sounds like a plan, but I'm not getting what the end game is. Because fixing the grail probably just puts the war back on track, but Shirou seems to want the whole thing to stop, and I'm not seeing how to do that.

It was a longshot, but maybe Illya knew something.
Still hate and dont like how Rin and Baeber were sidestepped and ignored in this. we will get them.

Its ok.... Ayako got better screentime and involvement than canon...

I'm loving it so far.
Despite all the nonsense Shirou is dealing with, Sakura was saved much earlier (not 100% but still), Taiga Is very much involved and no longer just a comedy-relief character, and Ayako being Shirou's "first" GF while showing how awesome she Is...all despite the last two getting seriously hurt.
Oh and Illya actually giving Shirou a chance on sight alongside best snek Rider.

You stop the grail war by winning the grail war. Shirou hasn't quite grokked that yet. Go young hero, murder Rin.
Hey, I put in plenty of options. Sorry the story is only 'ok'. I'll keep working on it.
Illya... will continue to be interesting.

It's good. I love divergence. It's the ice cream of fanworks.
I kind of want Medea have been listening in on Shirou's "Bad decisions have gotten me this far" speech and take him by the shoulders and shake him while screaming "Terrible decisions have not gotten you this far! Me carrying your ass like Hercules on a swim up river with a boat hitched to his shoulders has!"
Some major dissociation between what works and what's being survived by the skin of their teeth by our protag with his head in the clouds.

Every route of Fate is successive bad decisions until victory. Culminating in Heaven's Feel the ultimate in such decisions.
Y'all voted for UBW a ways back meanwhile. And have been dealing with that up to this point.

That is... frighteningly accurate. I stand by the fact that it's less the decisions themselves than the OP heroines that get Shirou from point A to point C alive for the first half to two thirds of a given route though.
Are you sure it isn't UPW instead? Unlimited Pigs Works is so much Cuter the UBW, and loses none of the badass of UBW.

Nah, we just delay it. Wanted Shirou to be a gentlemen for Circe and Ayako.
Circe hasn't given up, and she most likely will want children to "restart the age of greek heroes"
Also, there is no way she doesn't want Medea to become a mom too.

If it makes you feel better both are full romance routes. Shinji is a very aggressive girl.

Damn dinosaur VN and it's strictly romance routes. Fate needs to get with the times and understand that wholesome friendships helps bring definition to the romance routes!
