The fabricated lie did not shake his resolve. He was surprised that he had developed such a thick skin. Even Weber himself was astonished.

"Was there a phone call? I didn't even notice. But that's very much like him, isn't it?" The lady chuckled and nodded, then turned her gaze back to the television screen.

The news about Ryudong Temple has passed; it was merely a pastime for the citizens during their leisure time. The war hidden under the cover of night will forever remain known only to a few.

Weber also made a certain decision because of the change in news.

Grandpa, Grandma. There's something I'd like to talk to you about, is that alright?

Hearing Weber's voice, which sounded slightly different from usual, the elderly couple put down the coffee they were drinking.

"what happened?"

"Well, actually..."

The doorbell rang, interrupting Weber's speech.

"Who could it be so early in the morning?" the old man muttered to himself, slowly getting up from his seat and opening the door.

There was no one in sight ahead.

"Now, please lower your head."

???

Grandpa McKenzie lowered his head in confusion, then exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, whose child is this? He's so cute!"

But Weber, who was behind him, sensed something and stood up with a drastic change in expression:

"Wait, Grandpa, that's magic... uh, cough cough!"

Amidst the violent coughing, Weber could hardly believe his eyes.

White hair and golden eyes—only one person can possess such features.

But, but...

Looking at 'Shuoyue,' who was shorter than him and had a mocking smile on his youthful face, Webber inwardly groaned.

Why has this guy turned into a little kid?!

"I'll explain later, Weber. An old friend is visiting; won't you invite me in for a chat?"

"Who says you're a friend—"

“Ah, so you’re Weber’s friend. Come in, my good boy, let your grandpa and grandma take a good look at you…” The McKenzie couple were completely unaware of why the ‘child’ would become friends with their grandson, and welcomed Shuoyue in as if they were bewitched.

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!" The sweet words of thanks brought smiles to the faces of the two elderly people. Before Shuoyue could cause any more trouble, Weber grabbed his arm and dragged him into his room.

"So... what's wrong with you looking like this?"

In the bedroom, Weber looked at the boy sitting on the table, his legs swinging, arms crossed, and said irritably.

“I wished for a body from the Greater Grail, and as you can see—this is what I look like,” Shuoyue said, shrugging.

"If Miyu hadn't returned to the Throne of Heroes, I'm afraid I, as her older brother, would have been left with an unforgettable dark history."

Yes, sitting in front of Webber is the famous detective whose body has shrunk but whose mind is still sharp and who knows everything... Ahem, let's start over.

Sitting in front of Webber was a young boy with short white hair, golden eyes like jewels, and a face that, though youthful, couldn't hide his handsomeness!

Although that platinum-woven garment was incredibly noble, it was definitely because he had no other clothes to wear, right? Absolutely!

Weber suppressed the urge to complain and looked around, noticing something amiss:

"Because of the need to maintain the concept of 'growth,' they simply chose the stage with the greatest potential for growth? At the same time, their appearance has also changed, and the reaction speed of the magical particles around them has significantly increased. According to the book 'On the Division and Connection of the Great Source and the Small Source (Od)' from the Inheritance Department, this means that the world—"

Realizing the taboo, Weber tightly shut his mouth and simultaneously distanced himself from Shuoyue.

The wish made through the Greater Grail actually triggered the world's rejection and adaptation—Wave knew in his heart that this was no longer an area he should be venturing into.

"As expected of you, this talent is the reason why you stand out." Shuoyue clapped with a smile and said before Webber could run away, "I have two things to do here. One is to confirm a certain location, and the other is to fulfill my agreement with the King of Conquerors."

?

Upon hearing the last sentence, Weber froze on the spot as if he had been frozen in place, and after a long while, he sighed resignedly.

"What location?"

“This is it. I can only roughly determine that it’s inside the Clock Tower, but I need you to confirm the exact location.” The Imaginary Pocket opened, and Shuoyue took out an old treasure map and handed it to Weber, while grabbing his other hand at the same time.

"Hey you!"

"Don't make a fuss, this is the first time I've done something like this either," Shuoyue said, her young face serious. "I have things to do too, and I can't be like a male mother to you all the time. The only way I can be there for you in case of danger is—"

In the sudden burst of crimson light, Weber's pupils contracted violently.

A moment later, Weber stood at the door, watching the child-like Shuoyue leave, and silently hid his right hand in his pocket.

On the back of his hand, three marks gleamed with a blood-like light.

I went to pick up my grandmother from the hospital today and got back late. I'm rushing to finish the next chapter, so it won't be out for a while. Friends who stay up late don't need to wait; you can read it after you wake up.

[Major event log complete!]

[Reward Obtained: Access to the Returning Worldline!]

[Due to exceeding the target number of records, an additional reward is being randomly drawn... Drawing successful]

[Obtained item: "Mysterious Treasure Map"!]

When Shuoyue woke up from her deep sleep, this long string of information flashed across the light screen in front of her.

"It feels like I woke up to a deadline rushing me to meet it." Sighing, Shuoyue began to check her abundant rewards.

First, there are the changes that occurred after the Destiny Compendium absorbed the components: the most important one is the unlocking of the Holy Grail War of the Moon, which means that the new moon can travel to the world where Nameless is, fight against more powerful enemies, grow stronger, and ultimately reverse that tragic fate.

Once everything is settled, let's set off...

Shuoyue knew very well that he was a restless person, but he still had many things to deal with before the other world appeared.

Then comes the reward for winning.

To call it a 'victory' is really just a matter of having one foot in the door of victory, since before the final, decisive blow, he was pierced through the heart by Miyu, who had been assimilated by the voice of heaven.

However, by then the outcome was already decided. Those who were forced to hide in Avalon and dared to show their faces would inevitably be met with the merciless blows of the new moon, and defeat was only a matter of time.

Perhaps it was out of this consideration that the Destiny Compendium automatically determined the completion of the recording conditions, and the reward was an adaptability to the highly practical skill 'Magic Release'...

Magic Release, or simply Magic Unleash, refers to imbuing weapons and one's own body with magical energy, which is then released instantly, enhancing one's abilities. It is through Magic Unleash that Artoria is able to unleash attacks as fierce and unstoppable as a red dragon.

At the same time, some characters' magic releases also have their own characteristics, such as Elizabeth Bathory's magic release (pumpkin) and magic release (courage), Arjuna, Karna, and Brunhilde's magic release (fire), Ishtar's magic release (jewel), Ereshkigal's magic release (barrier), and even various other magic releases such as magic release (ice), magic release (poison), and magic release (light).

So, what kind of attributes will the 'magic release' belonging to the new moon possess?

"Looks like the training program will be expanded again..." Shuoyue sighed, half joyful and half worried. Then, he focused his gaze on the 'Return to Worldline Authority' and didn't look away for a long time.

With his current strength (at this point, he hadn't realized that he had shrunk), returning to that world wouldn't make much sense. If he wanted to further improve himself, the Moon Holy Grail War was the best place to go.

But the 'Destiny Compendium' should also know this, so what's the point of this transfer permission? Is it just for showing but not for doing, simply to tempt people?

[Note: The record of the Moon Holy Grail War does not require physical transfer. The host can connect to this world line (record) at any time through the Destiny Compendium.]

The compass of fate offered a thoughtful reminder, and Shuoyue stroked her chin, lost in thought:

"Hmm... So you mean fighting on two fronts? That makes sense. After all, the battles are elimination tournaments, and I don't need to gather intelligence on the enemy. It's all in my head, so it does free up a lot of meaningless time."

Putting that matter aside for the time being, Shuoyue continued scrolling down and soon discovered some other interesting things.

"There's an extra reward after clearing the level? A mysterious treasure map? What's that?"

Filled with doubt, Shuoyue simply took out the 'mysterious treasure map' and spread it out.

On the yellowed paper printed with a world map, there are many punctuation marks marked with red crosses.

"Oh my, this is really intriguing. Let me see, this is a neon city, and these punctuation marks... it's Misaki Town? This is in England, hey, this is definitely a clock tower, right? And that one is even more obvious, Einzbern Castle in the Winter Forest. Perfect timing to visit the group there. I wonder what choice the ahoge (antenna-like hair) will make after giving up the Holy Grail..."

Shuoyue didn't recognize the remaining three or four punctuation marks, so he simply put away the mysterious treasure map, stood up, and stretched lazily.

"The Fourth Holy Grail War has finally come to an end, but there are still many interesting things waiting for me in the future... Wait? My body!"

Only then did Shuoyue realize something was wrong. He gestured and projected a mirror, letting out a scream the instant he looked into it:

"What the heck—how did I turn into a child?!"

While a certain handsome, dashing, charming, and universally adored young man is in a state of mental paralysis due to excessive shock, let's take a look at the panel data that Shuoyue has possessed so far.
