"Oh, you've already discovered it? As expected of an unparalleled swordsman." Shuoyue remained unaffected and said with a smile, "It's alright, tonight alone is enough for us to finish this pot of newly brewed wine."
He had barely finished speaking when someone tugged at his sleeve. Turning around, he saw Draco standing beside him, having left his seat at some point. His wine-red eyes were watery, as if they held countless unspoken words of love.
"Governor, hug me."
Before Shuoyue could reply, the girl in the red dress opened her arms and fell into his embrace like a swallow throwing itself into his arms. The smell of wine and fragrance wafted over, making Shuoyue dizzy.
"Hahaha... It seems that Sakutsu-kun is quite lucky with women." Kojiro laughed and raised his glass. "We should congratulate him."
Shuoyue withdrew her arm from the warm, soft embrace and clinked glasses with him in return: "Yes, I've always felt very lucky."
To come into this world, to meet people who are worthy of love and to be loved, and to have the future full of anticipation...
Even though a long time has passed, Shuoyue still feels that she is the luckiest person in the world.
Looking at Sakuzuki's smile, Kojiro shook his head with a hint of envy and sighed:
"You really are very charming..."
Shuoyue accepted the compliment with a smile, and then they clinked their wine cups together and drank a cup.
Draco had already closed his eyes and was sleeping peacefully. Sotsuki and Kojiro drank and chatted, feeling completely relaxed and forgetting about time.
The moon is high in the sky, the wind has stopped and the fragrance lingers, and people feel as if they are bathed in a sweet, intoxicating aroma.
After several rounds of drinking, Kojiro looked at the new moon and suddenly asked, "You took the Holy Grail from the island, didn't you?"
"Oh?" Shuoyue smiled. "How do you know?"
"No matter what, I am someone who has experienced the Holy Grail War, even if it was just a vague dream." The gatekeeper had no intention of accusing him. He drank his wine and smiled, "When I first met you, I sensed that familiar aura on that excessively huge demonic boar."
"It's not just me, Master must have noticed this too, but she seems to have given up on getting it back."
“Ritsuka…” Sakugetsu put down the empty wine glass and sipped it for a moment.
The wine he brewed himself was indeed potent; even though he was controlling the amount, he still felt a little dizzy.
"She's a good girl, but she has to arm herself to shoulder an excessive burden."
Looking down the hillside from the new moon, Ritsuka was enjoying Mash's lap pillow service, with Tamamo-no-Mae and Kiyohime massaging her shoulders and back beside her... The young man felt a pang of envy, lowered his head to examine Draco's sleeping face, and gave up in despair.
So far, he has encountered two Chaldea Masters, one Fujimaru and the other Ritsuka.
Compared to male Gudako, Gudako's personality is obviously much more cheerful, but beneath this cheerful exterior, she shares the same nature as Fujimaru: caution and probing towards unfamiliar things.
It's not that her cheerfulness is a facade; it's just that to uphold human principles, she has to force herself to question and verify before giving her trust.
She has no room for error; failure would mean the destruction of humanity.
"So, Sakutsu-kun, aren't you considering coming to Chaldea? You should be able to sense that Ritsuka already considers you a very good friend, right?"
Kojiro stood tall with his back straight and his eyes shining.
Without hesitation, Shuoyue smiled and shook her head: "It's not the right time yet, but you can give this to her."
As the young man snapped his fingers, a silver necklace appeared on the table. Kojiro picked it up and discovered a drop of platinum blood within the transparent gemstone.
"This is……"
"It's a homemade magical device. Inside is a drop of my blood with concentrated magic power, enough to support her in a Holy Grail summoning."
Shuoyue smiled and stood up, putting her arm around Draco.
"Are you leaving?" Kojiro put away the necklace and stood up as well. "I'll see you off."
"No need." Shuoyue waved her hand. "I think Ilya and the others are tired of playing. After telling Ritsuka, we'll go back to our original world first. Seriously, we still have to explain to Madam and Luvia."
"I have taken the Holy Grail. Chaldea's communications will be restored after midnight tonight."
With that, Sakugetsu walked down the hillside without looking back: "Thanks, Kojiro, it was a pleasure drinking with you tonight."
Watching the young man leave, the man who came on behalf of the Master remained silent, simply raising his cup and drinking the last drop of wine.
What a dashing young man!
Upon arriving at the beach, Ritsuka seemed to sense something and stood up, meeting Sakugetsu's gaze.
"Are you leaving?"
"Yes, take care in the days to come."
"Don't make it sound like a life-or-death separation... Well then, take care, Mr. Shuoyue!"
Neither of them liked to drag things out. Shuoyue turned around with a smile, met Artoria's gaze in the distance, and nodded silently.
They've already said what they needed to say; there's no need for further words between them.
"Sakugetsu Onii-chan!" Illya ran over, pulling her two best friends along. "Are we leaving now?"
"Well, it's almost time. If we don't go back soon, we'll miss school."
"Ah!" Ilya suddenly remembered that she hadn't finished her homework. "Oh no... Um, Miyu, have you done your homework yet...?"
Upon hearing this, Miyu silently shifted her gaze from Draco in Sakugetsu's arms: "I did it, but I can't let you copy it, Ilya."
"Hey, how could this happen—!" Ilya and Kuro exclaimed in unison.
"But I can do it with you, and with Xiao Hei too."
"Hehehe, I knew Miyu was the best~~"
"Alright, girls," Shuoyue said, seeing that the time was right, "Let's go!"
Amidst the farewells of the Chaldeans, Sakugetsu bowed gracefully and disappeared from sight.
Their island trip thus came to an end.
New exam papers will be released tomorrow.
Chapter 375 Prologue: The Savior
Chapter 376 Prologue - Savior
The short journey has come to an end, but for the magical girls, their encounter with Chaldea will surely become an unforgettable summer memory.
Having revealed her identity, Shuoyue returned to the original world with the three little ones. With Shuoyue, a priest from the church, endorsing her, Irisviel was naturally satisfied. Even the originally aggressive Fujimura Taiga was seduced by the 'beautiful young man' and, with the 'tribute' (homework) offered by Illya and others, she finally let go of these three good students who had been skipping school for almost a week.
After resolving the matter with Ilya and the others, Shuoyue returned to the church without stopping. After greeting Duan Zang and Karen, she once again flew away into the distance.
Having already experienced teleportation once, this time, Shuoyue didn't need the Destiny Compendium; she simply tore through space and arrived in the world of Ainsworth.
Desolate, lifeless, with snow falling in abundance.
This is the world after the Great Source has been depleted; this is the end of humanity.
“You said that when we meet again, you will provide a way to save the world,” Julian said calmly, barely maintaining the dignity of a family head.
Do you remember that after dealing with the Ainsworth family's affairs, Sakuyue returned to the magical girl world, followed the drifting trajectory of Illya and the others, and arrived at the island where Chaldea and the others were also, enjoying a unique vacation?
For the Ainsworth family, this 'treatment' was far too heavy a burden.
All the class cards obtained through hard work (gacha pulls), including the top-tier Heroic Spirits Gilgamesh and Hercules Manny, were taken away by Shuoyue. The materials that had been preserved for thousands of years were looted. Even Pandora's Box was sealed away by this young man, not allowing anyone else to touch it.
As for Darius, the true head of the Ainsworth family, he was extracted by this man through bloody means, sealed in a spirit crystal, stripped of his emotions, and turned into an artificial intelligence-like being that could only give mechanical answers to questions.
Looking at the crystal that was spinning unconsciously in the center of the hall, their ancestor and 'father', Julian barely suppressed the fear in his eyes and forced himself to meet Shuoyue's gaze.
This was no longer the Shirou Emiya he knew. At least that man wouldn't smile as he extracted Darius's soul, turning him into a tool like trash.
He must do everything in his power to save Ainsworth from this young man.
However, the next moment, the golden light stole Julian's entire attention. He looked at the Cauldron of Wishes held in Shuoyue's hands, swallowed hard, and spoke in a dry voice.
"Holy Grail..."
"The Holy Grail! The Holy Grail!!!" The crystal in the center of the hall trembled. Even stripped of his emotions, Darius's obsession still roared incessantly, "Take the Holy Grail, save the world! The Holy Grail belongs to Ainsworth!"
Before Shuoyue could make a move, Julian came to his senses, pressed down expressionlessly, and cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal. Darius's consciousness dimmed after letting out a scream.
"Well done. It seems you all have a clear understanding of your position." Shuoyue held the Holy Grail in her hand, a smile playing on her lips. "As you can see, I have the Holy Grail in my hands."
The reason the Ainsworth family didn't resort to a desperate, all-or-nothing approach during the brutal plundering of the new moon was because the young man promised to find the Holy Grail other than Miyu's.
And now, Shuoyue has come at the invitation.
After a long silence and processing, Julian finally came to his senses and respectfully stood up from his seat:
"Then, without further ado, let us go to pray..."
"No, your methods are wrong." Shuoyue couldn't very well say that in the original work, you messed up and destroyed the world, and Ilya had to sacrifice herself to save it. So she simply adopted an attitude that left no room for argument, "Placing the future of the world in the myths of the past is putting the cart before the horse."
"But—this is the only way we can do it!"
"That's you, not me." Shuoyue looked at Julian, her eyes full of confidence. "Let's go, take me to the source of this destruction. Your Ainsworth family has been searching for redemption for so long, you should know the first spiritual vein node on this planet to dry up, right?"
After a long silence, Julian gave in: "Please come with me."
He destroyed the mighty Ainsworth, and somehow found the Holy Grail... This man might truly have the potential to save the world.
With this expectation, Julian, accompanied by the new moon and guided by the autonomous terminal Darius, found the source of the calamity that Ainsworth had discovered a century ago—
And then what you see is despair.
With a thud, Julian knelt on the ground, looking at the dead earth, his voice trembling.
"No...this shouldn't be...the Ainsworth family records...how could this be..."
"According to records from 325 years ago, the area where the spiritual veins disappeared has expanded by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and countless other numbers. The border of Paradise has lost its response, the human phase has stopped functioning, and the restraining force has lost all signs of activity."
After a chillingly cold report, the autonomous terminal Darius ruthlessly drew its conclusion.
"This world is finished."
boom!
Julian slammed the crystal in his hand to the ground, his face contorted with rage: "No! You're lying! You've been deceiving me all along, Darius! Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me the veils were dying to this extent!"
The spiritual vein has disappeared.
Unlike decline, this means that the lifespan of a spiritual vein is coming to an end. A declining spiritual vein can be replenished, but a depleted spiritual vein will cease to exist.
Wounds can heal, but severed limbs can never be fully restored.
This applies to humans, and it applies to planets as well.
This is the desperate situation facing this planet, a future that even the Holy Grail cannot save.
