The new moon had already set up a magic trick. Even though Draco was being somewhat difficult and didn't pretend, letting the dragon's tail sway back and forth, to outsiders it just looked like a child being difficult but still holding an adult's hand.

To avoid running into acquaintances, Shuoyue, now back in her youthful form, smiled and said, "Yes, it's Irisviel's turn to work next. I'll also go to Ilya's house tonight to check on things, but it's best to avoid contact with Chloe as much as possible."

Because if you stay there for too long, you might not be able to resist fighting with your own reflection, right?

Knowing how much of a battle maniac this guy was, Draco rolled his eyes and casually pointed to a spot in the shopping street: "I'm hungry."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shuoyue gave a perfunctory bow, then quickly lined up to buy two crepes. She handed one to Draco, only to find that although he took it, she was staring at him with a strange look.

"what happened?"

“I remember you used to call me ‘Nero the Beast,’” Draco said, taking a bite of his crepe, his eyes lighting up slightly. “And now you call me Your Majesty the Emperor.”

"Ah, this..." Shuoyue was stunned, and suddenly had a premonition of a chaotic scene.

Sure enough, the next moment, Draco said in a low voice:

"Do you actually like Nero, or do you like me?"

Facing Draco's sudden attack, Shuoyue calmly blocked it, saying, "Of course it's you."

Before Draco could continue, the young man said, "Besides, why bother distinguishing between you and Nero? You've simply reached different ends and reflected different aspects of each other, but in essence, you're still Nero Claudius."

"Hmph." Draco snorted softly, tossing the empty food bag into the trash can, while Shuoyue handed him the crepe she was holding.

Draco then realized the real meaning behind Shuoyue buying two crepes. Her expression softened slightly, and she took the crepes, saying, "I'll let you off the hook."

The two continued walking forward, and this time, they were discussing serious matters.

"You want to discuss with me methods of traversing worlds and the possibility of returning, right?"

"Yes, I plan to go to Ainsworth City, which is where Miyu escaped. Only after eliminating this hidden danger can I go to another dimension with peace of mind."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Go to Mount Enzo, the place where Miyu traveled through time. It must be the anchor point where the two worlds meet."

"Hmm, but I'm really interested in those buns over there that say 'red bean buns,' what are they?"

"Since that's the case, let's send the Buddha to the Western Paradise."

Before Draco could shift his interest from Chinese steamed buns to char siu buns, curry buns, and the special shark fin buns, Shuoyue finally managed to drag this 'Little Dragon Girl' to the depths of Yuanzang Mountain.

"Come forth, Hell Scythe, Dust Saw!"

Having erected a large soundproof barrier, Shuoyue did not hesitate to use two excavation tools, quickly digging open the depths of the large cavity to reveal an overly complex and ornate deep purple magic circle.

“A composite displacement array?” Even without expertise in magic, Draco’s beastly intuition allowed him to grasp the essence of the matter. “This interference power, comparable to magic, and such pure driving energy… I see. So this is the grand magic that transported Miyu to this world?”

"That's right. After all, it's the Holy Grail that grants wishes. If someone suddenly appears in this world, it will cause turmoil. But if the Holy Grail is transferred from one world to another, the impact will be much smaller."

Shuoyue squatted down and touched the array patterns with her fingertips, analyzing its principles.

"According to the church's records, the anomaly occurred ten days ago. Above the Great Hollow of Mount Enzo, about 180 square meters of trees disappeared without warning, leaving the area a desolate wasteland. At the same time, the card was found in Fuyuki City."

"At the same time, according to the church's surveillance of people entering and leaving the Great Cavern, the number of people entering and leaving the Great Cavern on that day was not equal—of course, I was one of the people involved."

"That's understandable, after all, you are not from this world."

Shuoyue nodded, her voice low and languid: "Ten days ago, on the day the trees disappeared, on the day the card appeared, someone suddenly emerged from the vast, uninhabited cavern..."

Such a statement is enough to serve as the opening line for any horror story.

However, neither of the two people present were ordinary people, so they just listened to it for fun and then continued the conversation.

"The principles of the technique have been analyzed. Shall we destroy it?"

"No need. I'm actually looking forward to some big guy showing up and fighting me. Draco, if you help me, can I open a portal to that world?"

"You can't do it alone?"

"No, I'm also puzzled. Theoretically, as long as I find the node, I can cross the barrier of spacetime... but I just can't seem to succeed no matter what."

"I've already looked into it, it's impossible, unless..."

"unless?"

Draco glanced at Shuoyue and curled the corners of his mouth: "Give the Holy Grail to Yu Shengji."

"With the Holy Grail, I can do it myself, okay?" Shuoyue was speechless, but fortunately, Draco quickly provided new information.

“If there were protection on the other side, your smuggling attempt would have been rejected—do you understand? Your methods were not wrong, but the homeowner chose to reinforce the lock.”

"Why? No, that's impossible. As far as I know, the Ainsworth family doesn't have such methods..."

“Ainsworth, Ainsworth, can you stop complaining about this wretched place all day long?” Draco interrupted Shuoyue impatiently.

As a former beast, the first threat she could think of was definitely not a human magician.

"Why would you think that the Restraint would welcome you and me, two intruders?" the Beast of Sodom sneered.

After the battle at the Second Singularity, Draco severed his beastly path and obediently returned to the Imaginary Shadow. However, his identity had already been exposed, which is why he stood openly with the New Moon.

However, if Shuoyue is willing, her physical form will be dispelled and she will return to the farthest imaginary number—after all, Shuoyue's imaginary familiar is her now, and the two are actually subordinate to each other.

Of course, saying this would get you bitten, so Shuoyue wisely skipped the topic.

"In other words, because of the interference of the inhibitory force, we alone cannot get through... What should we do now?" The young man pondered, resting his chin on his hand, then suddenly paused.

Because the Destiny Compendium, which had been lurking underground, suddenly popped up a message.

[Spacetime anchor point detected; energy consumption permitted for connection]

"energy?"

[Additional Explanation: Spacetime Energy: A quantifiable unit, the energy required to travel between parallel universes. It is accumulated daily, and can be quickly replenished by mastering relevant skills. Furthermore, traveling to other universes also requires this energy.]

"In other words, the Holy Grail War in the Moon Dimension will have to be postponed if we go to Ainsworth... Oh well." Without much thought, Shuoyue gave the answer, "Put everything else aside for now, protecting Miyu's safety is the most important thing."

With that, Shuoyue quickly finalized the plan: "Tonight we'll confirm Chloe's safety, then make preparations in a few days, and then we'll head to Ainsworth."

Draco watched silently as the new moon began to move, a question suddenly forming in his mind.

The Holy Grail... This young man did indeed possess the Holy Grail before he redeemed her at the cost of his soul's destruction.

So, what exactly did he wish for in the Holy Grail?

He gives Kallen a lapel pin at school, shares a deep French kiss with Chloe in the suburbs, and flirts with Draco on the street. Sakumoku truly lives up to his reputation as a role model, on par with Shirou and Shiki (laughs).

Chapter 324 Kiritsugu, when are you coming back!

Chapter 325 Kiritsugu, when are you coming back!

Now that they had found a way, Shuoyue and Draco naturally left Yuanzang Mountain. The latter also declined the former's invitation to go sightseeing, saying with a haughty expression, "I'm going to sleep," and went straight back to the hotel.

In Draco's words, the church was too bland, and Illya's home was nauseatingly warm; the bustling city was definitely more suitable for her.

"Nero the beast in the hotel, Kallen in the church, Illya and Miyu from Illya's family... I have this strange feeling of being deeply sinful, what should I do?"

Making jokes that any man would understand, little did she know that the ninja lady was appearing behind Shuoyue, her gaze unfathomable.

"Master...have you forgotten me?"

"Huh?" Shuoyue was taken aback. The old Duan Cang wouldn't have been so direct, but he quickly tried to make amends. "Of course, there's also Duan Cang who's always by my side. Hmm, of course I haven't forgotten, of course I haven't."

"Hmm." Although something felt off, Duan Zang had already reached her limit by saying this. Under Shuo Yue's sweet talk, she smiled brightly and took the initiative to report the situation:

"After Miss Chloe was taken back by Mrs. Irisviel, an argument broke out, and she tried to escape. However, she ran to the Edfeld Manor, where she was captured by Luvia and Rin. With Illya as the caster, they cast a primitive spell that shared pain."

"Then Irisviel, Illya, and Miyu also rushed to Edelfelt. After a strong magical fluctuation, they finally relieved Chloe of her danger—at least before I left, Chloe had lost her hostility."

Sitting sideways on the back of the Stone Sword, Duan Cang delivered the information methodically, her eyes narrowing as she felt the gust of wind blowing through her long hair.

"Thank you for your hard work, Duan Zang."

That heartfelt thank you was enough to dispel her fatigue from the day.

Before she knew it, her shoulder had touched Shuoyue's back, and a warm heat slowly swept over her, enveloping her entire body.

The doll girl emptied her mind, with only a few thoughts rising and falling in the comforting ocean.

Please make this road... a little longer.

Ilya's doorstep

"Sigh, it turns out Chloe is actually me from before... Life is truly full of surprises."

"Ilya is like a mature little adult. However, it's really too bizarre that her personality, which was accumulated over many years and whose magic, memories, and knowledge were sealed by her mother, was transformed into Chloe through a class card."

"Right? I think so too! And she's quite dishonest, trying to steal my brother away from me!"

"What do you mean by 'what you have in your hand'... cough cough, this kind of thing is okay, right? After all, you two share the pain."

"You mean you want me to hit myself? Ruby! How could I possibly do such a thing!"

"Well, ahaha..."

Having escaped from Rin and Luvia's clutches after their repeated warnings, Ilya sighed. After such a chaotic day, all she wanted to do was lie in bed and sleep soundly for a long time.

However, upon opening the door and entering the foyer, one could hear conversations coming from the living room.

"Hey, tell me, what kind of girl do you like, brother?"

"Huh? What's wrong, Ilya? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"What is it? Tell me!"

With a thud, Ilya fell to the floor, then quickly got up and hid behind the wall.

Because Shirou was in class, he was unaware of what had happened at home. When he returned home, he and Chloe went to Luvia's house—meaning that Shirou still didn't know Chloe existed.

Chloe, that cunning little fox, was clearly trying to create a time gap before sneaking away!

"Haha, as expected, this guy's target is Shirou, after all, she was separated from Illya, so she probably inherited the same affection as Illya..."

Oh no, this is terrible! What a shameless and difficult enemy to deal with!

Ilya was exasperated. She wanted to run over and stop Chloe, but she was afraid that Chloe would drag her down and expose herself. While she was struggling with this dilemma, the conversation on the other side did not get stuck in bullet time because of Ilya's thoughts.

"By the way, Ilya, did you get a tan?"

"Are you really bothered by this? Brother, you care so much about your sister's skin."

"No, don't say it so strangely, I just..."

"Brother, you're such a skin fetishist!"
