A/N: These are special chapters based on the short comedy animation of F/GO.
I decided to bring these episodes into this story so as not to leave the Chaldea group without anything to do in the current story, after all I don't want them to be irrelevant to the story.
This also goes for those who don't play F/GO or are fans of Fate, but don't know these certain characters.
Overall I hope you enjoy this addition to this story.

*************
(Narration of Tiamat)
A long long time ago...
In a certain place...
There was a girl callad Cinderella!
Cinderella lost her real relatives when she was young...
But she was adopted by a stepmother and her daughters!
And they lived happily ever after!

Back to reality

"Hooray!~ Hooray!~" Tiamat said in a neutral tone after narrating the fairy tale of Cinderella to Ritsuka, Mash, and a trio of Servants.
She is using a small theater stage with a few puppets to represent each character. Mash's puppet represents Cinderella while Tiamat's puppet represents the stepmother.
Unlike Tiamat who is happy to tell the story, her audience is completely silent due to how short the story was.
"Excuse me... What was that just now?" Ritsuka is perplexed at what he just saw and his reaction is the same as Mash and the trio of Heroic Spirits.
"For this New Year's party... I'm going to put on a puppet show! And this was practice for that show!" Tiamat's expression didn't change, but it was clear that the Mother of Humanity was taking this very seriously.
"Okay..." Ritsuka was still perplexed.
"Last year there was a show that... really made me think 'What was that'? And as a Mother I can't let that go! Those people need something called 'high level of education'! Tiamat's serious expression made Ritsuka cringe as he remembered the previous New Year's party.
At the last New Year's party, Gilles de Rais and Roland performed a puppet show together, but the show was an embarrassment due to the fact that Roland was naked for the entire performance.
The result of this was a punishment that both received from Jeanne and Raikou who acted quickly because the audience included the child Servants who were present.
"I still wonder why they thought putting on that show would be a good idea." A sigh leaves Ritsuka's mouth as he remembers the day of that incident.
"Well? How was it? My puppet show?" Tiamat's question made Mash hesitate a bit in her answer.
"Oh... right...! It was something really creative..." Mash was having trouble continuing her answer, but fortunately Ritsuka finished by saying what she was thinking.
"Isn't the Stepmother supposed to be mean to Cinderella?" Ritsuka's logical question caused an immediate reaction from Tiamat who didn't like the question at all.
"THERE'S NO WAY A MOTHER WOULD BE MEAN TO THEIR KIDS!!!" Immediately an authoritative aura covered Tiamat the moment she made that answer, startling Ritsuka at the same time.
"Yes, Mom." Ritsuka answered in submission not wanting to argue with the Mother Beast Goddess.
"Well, I guess you can do whatever you want. But that wasn't even enough to get things started!" Nero Draco comments on the satisfaction she felt from Tiamat's story.
"That's true, this show has no structure." Setanta comments on his opinion holding a furry wolf in his lap.
Soon after, a certain succubus appears, taking everyone by surprise.
"Exactly! Your show can't have an ending for just 20 seconds!" Merlin comments with a serious expression, making Ritsuka sigh, seeing that the situation is already getting out of hand.
"Plus the characters are really lazy to be honest. That's why you should make me the puppet model!" Elizabeth Bathtory in her Cinderella form,gives her opinion, joining Merlin as judges of the story.
"Where did you two come from?!" Locusta is shocked to see two more Servants intruding on the conversation.
"Don't ask, Locusta. It's better for your mental health." Ritsuka comments as he takes a cup of coffee made from golden apples to calm himself down.
"Hmm... I guess there's no other way. Well, let's start a dance event!" Tiamat starts to write down the opinions of her audience, feeling a little irritated as she does so.

The mother and her daughters went to a dance event, and they came back home.
They talked about how much fun the party they had until they fell asleep!

"I'm telling you that this alone won't be enough!" The Beast Nero is irritated to see that Tiamat repeated the same problem from before.
"If the stepmother is only kind, all the other events in the story will disappear." Mash's comment makes Ritsuka think of a solution, which he immediately responds with.
"That's it! The story doesn't have enough events!" Ritsuka's answer caught the Servants' attention, who immediately understood what he was talking about.
"Yeah, that's true! Something like some bad guys showing up and then we send them flying!" Setanta demonstrates an idea he has for the story.
"Or poisoning someone!" Locusta immediately says an idea of hers that matches her story.
"Eh? Ah... yeah. The bad guys and... The poison and..." Tiamat starts writing down the ideas she's hearing, feeling a little nervous.
"No! You don't have to do exactly what they're saying." Ritsuka tries to help the Mother Goddess, but it ends up being too late.
"And some simging too, right? Move everyone's heart with a musical!~" Elizabeth starts talking and singing at the same time, increasing the chaos of the situation even more.
"I'll be waiting for some countermeasures for that." Merlin, not wanting to be left out, gives her opinion, which makes Ritsuka act immediately.
"Fou! Where are you? A certain succubus needs to be taught an immediate lesson!" Ritsuka's call makes Marlin start to run away, but it is possible to see Fou chasing her right behind.
"A musical... Countermeasures..." Tiamat's nervousness begins to become quite evident, which only increases Ritsuka's concern.
"Calm down, Mother! It's alright if you don't pay attention to everything." Unfortunately, Ritsuka's help is ignored by the victim.
Tiamat begins to mumble what she is writing down, being completely out of touch with the real world. Seeing this, Draco becomes very irritated at seeing this happening and decides to take action.
"You idiot. I'm telling you it's not like that! Give this to me!" Draco immediately takes Tiamat's notebook and she begins to 'fix' Tiamat's story.
Draco, Setanta and Locusta begin to add their ideas to Tiamat's story, while Ritsuka and Mash try to fix this mess.
"Hey, guys! This is Mother's story!" Ritsuka was going to intervene, but Tiamat stops him.
"No... It's alright. Supporting a children in what they want to do! As a mother is a must!" Tiamat's answer made Ritsuka hesitate on what he's going to do about the possible chaos that will arise from this story.
But even with this little chaos, Tiamat managed to make a decent story the way she wanted.

There was a girl called Cinderella!
Cinderella lost her true parents at young age...
But she was warmly adopted by a stepmother and her daughters!
And then, one day...
Mash(Cinderella): Mother! An invitation from the castle just arrived!
Tiamat(Stepmother): Oh my! A dance event where the Prince will participate?!
Mash(Cinderella):There will probably be a huge feast!
Tiamat(Stepmother):Interesting! Will they be able to satisfy my appetite...?
Mash(Cinderella):I'm sure that will be the case, because there will be a lot of delicious mushrooms!
Ritsuka (commentator): Lucusta is distorting the script, right?!
Cinderella and her family went happily to the castle.
Ritsuka(Commentator):Where's the pumpkin carriage and the glass slippers?
It was a castle with an astonishing gold color! A variety of appetizers where given to the guests one after another!
Draco (narrating):With this I'm more than satisfied! I'm talking 5 stars! And it feels like this plate of meat was made so that It melts on your palate! And with a slight greasy taste! It's like it's been cooked in the desires of humanity!
Ritsuka(commentator): IT'S TOO LONG! All this food talk is taking too much time!
And like that, everyone danced!
Ritsuka (Commentator):Hey! The Prince! The Prince looks really lonely! Him being the party's host!
Setanta (narrating): And at that moment! Is the moment the Demonic Beasts appeared!
Ritsuka(commentator):But why?!
Mash(Cinderella):Mash Cinderellalight! It's going!
Ritsuka (commentator): What do you mean, Mash Cinderellalight?!
*Epic fight sounds*
Cinderella did her best in the battle against the Demonic Beasts!
But the Demonic Beasts didn't back down!
Locusta (narrating):Take this! Special Mushroom Technique!
Ritsuka(commentator):I give up.
Mash(Cinderella):I can't get closer like this!
Tiamat(Stepmother):Stop, Cinderella!
Mash(Cinderella):Mother?!
Tiamat(Stepmother):Ultimate Mother Beam!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Ritsuka (Commentator): There goes the castle.
Tiamat (Stepmother):What should I do? Mother has failed again...
Mash (Cinderella): Don't worry, Mother! LORD CAMELOT!!!
Ritsuka(Commentator):Galahad must be rolling in his grave right now....
Prince: Thank you very much indeed! What a splendid bunch of people!
Tiamat(Stepmother): Yes, that's right! These are my proud children! And you too! From now on will be my child!
Ritsuka(Commentator): Where is the romance between the Prince and Cinderella?!
🎶And everyone lived happily ever after!🎶

"Hooray!~ Hooray!~" Said Tiamat as she finished her story.
However, just like before, her audience went silent, but for a completely different reason.
"Hmm... I think it's better if I do the normal version, right?" Tiamat starts to feel embarrassed for the fairy tale she just told.
"I think that would be the best. But at least you tried, Mom." Ritsuka feels sympathy for the Mother Goddess for not having much success with her idea.
In the end, the most outstanding show of the New Year's Party was the chorus between all the alternative versions of Artoria that was produced between them and with the help of Ritsuka.
