Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

Just as everyone relaxed slightly, Shuoyue suddenly said:

"If that's the case, what if Amakusa knew about a certain method? Let's not even discuss whether it's a real relief."

Upon hearing Shuoyue's question, Joan of Arc gasped as if she hadn't expected it at all.

"In that situation... I think it would be implemented."

"Did Amakusa Shiro know of the possibility of saving humanity?"

“No, that’s not the case.” Chiron frowned, equally aware of the gravity of the situation. “The problem is, if that method itself might be a calamity for humanity…”

"So, that means..."

"In other words, if someone wanted to become the world's greatest magician," Lion Robber said, "and their wish was to kill all magicians except themselves, would the Holy Grail grant that wish?"

"what?!"

“Theoretically speaking, that is indeed the case.” Joan of Arc’s affirmative words silenced everyone. At that moment, Sieg suddenly remembered something.

Regarding the reason you were summoned—

That's right. The condition for the Arbiter to be summoned is when the Holy Grail War might plunge the world into crisis. Amakusa seized the Greater Grail with the desire to save all humanity—so his means of salvation will likely be the crisis facing the world.

"That's probably it." Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc glanced away somewhat guiltily, stealing a look at the newly dozing Shuoyue with her eyes closed.

In fact, Amakusa's abnormality was only discovered after she entered the garden. Before that, the revelation only told her that "the young man in front of her is crucial."

However, Miss Saint still did not quite understand the meaning of the revelation.

"So, in order to prevent this from happening, let's think about what we should do next."

—So the Black team members rallied and began to discuss their next move. Although Karna, Achilles, and Atalanta refused to help, the Red team had suffered a fatal blow in terms of defenses without them, which greatly facilitated the Black team's actions.

Ultimately, everyone decided that whether by airplane or something else, they had to find a way to fly in the air—and then catch up with the Sky Garden.

The specific details will be discussed later, because right now, whether it's Fiore, who represents Yggdrasil, the free mercenary Lion Robber, or the android girl Sieg, they all need to rest to wash away the fatigue of the night and then cheer up to deal with the troubles that are about to come.

Even though Shuoyue made a fortune in this battle, she still needs to deal with the Blue team's affairs before the next final battle—the forces she has are still insufficient to defeat both the Red and Black teams.

So, the group returned to their rooms with weary steps, drew the curtains, and fell into a deep sleep in the artificial darkness, where there was no fighting or noise.

Chapter 493 Daily Life: Main Account Online

When Shuoyue finally got out of bed, it was already past noon.

Stepping out of the makeshift bedroom and strolling along the corridor, sunlight squeezed in through the cracks in the crumbling city wall, casting a monotonous orange glow through the window frames.

It was only after inquiring that it was learned that Fiore, the leader of the Black Faction, had gotten up early to report the current situation to the vampires scattered around the world, and that she also needed to select the next patriarch of Yggdrasilia as soon as possible.

Chiron seemed to have an idea for the next move and had already pulled his apprentice Achilles into action. The other heroic spirits, who didn't have the habit of sleeping in, had all started their own busy work.

And in the new moon month, there is nothing to do.

One by one, the prepared pieces were placed. The painstaking thinking day and night before the battle had not been in vain. With the wholehearted assistance of Rokudou Reika, the Holy Grail War had passed the most unstable stage and was steadily advancing towards the end game he had envisioned.

In return, before tonight arrives, Shuoyue can once again cast aside the shackles of schemers and participants, and walk through the ancient fortress as a simple time traveler, to touch and feel those ancient heroic legends.

How...pleasant it is!

With this thought in mind, Shuoyue let himself wander around the fortress like a ghost. Strangely, he did not encounter any followers, but when he passed by a well-preserved room, he was drawn to one of the furnishings.

Koblenz?

The first thing that catches the eye is a grand piano made in Germany, with an elegant and dignified style. The ebony keyboard is as shiny as new and exudes the fragrance of beech and mahogany.

Unlike Fuyuki and ancient Rome, Romania, located in Europe and associated with modern times, obviously has no shortage of classic instruments like the piano. However, Shuoyue could tell at a glance that this piano was extraordinary. The gold lines carved in the details, with traces of time that made it even more antique, were clearly not comparable to ordinary pianos.

And after yesterday's devastating disaster, it miraculously remained undamaged. To be precise, the entire room was completely unharmed, clearly well protected by its owner.

With a guess in mind, Shuoyue casually pulled over a patrolling android: "Who's staying in this room?"

"It is Danic, the former head of the Yggdrasilia family," the homunculus replied respectfully.

It really was him. So this piano must have been a gift from him when he collaborated with Nazi Germany.

Remembering the powerful figure he had shot dead yesterday, Shuoyue narrowed his eyes. Under the hesitant gaze of the android, he broke the magic lock on the door and walked into the room, which was even more spacious than the hall, and then skillfully searched around the desk.

Following the scent of magic, Shuoyue easily found some treasures. If Danic knew this in the afterlife, he would probably be furious and come back to life to settle accounts with this murderer who had usurped her place.

With a snap of her fingers to remove the dust, she lavishly used her magic to project a tea set. Shuoyue sat at the mahogany table, rinsing the cups with hot water, and poured in the Bird King Tea—a tribute tea from the East that Danic had somehow acquired. Then, Ma Long entered the teapot, swirled the leaves to release the aroma, skimmed the foam, and finally sealed the pot with a rinsing.

The fluid and skillful maneuvering left the androids patrolling the entrance, as well as a young magician peeking out from the sidelines, completely stunned.

"Koles?" Shuoyue glanced sideways, surprised that a small fish had taken the bait before she had even cast her line. "I didn't expect you to be the first one here. Well, please come in."

Stared at by Shuoyue, the god of death, Kaules's face stiffened. Perhaps the aroma of tea dispelled the bloodstains on the assassin. Kaules composed himself and finally stepped into the room, sitting down in front of Shuoyue.

Come to think of it, this is the same person who killed Uncle Danic... How can this guy sit here so calmly!

And where did this tea set come from? Which era's heroic spirit is Shuoyue from? Why is he so skilled at brewing tea?

Before Kaules could even fill his mind with a million questions, Shuoyue presented him with a celadon cup with both hands, the amber-colored tea inside steaming: "Please enjoy."

“No, no need…” Koles chuckled dryly. As a Western magician, he knew nothing about these things. Only that old monster Danic, who had lived so long, possessed such unique and exquisite artifacts. “Well, um, the reason I came to see you is because I have a favor to ask…”

"reject."

"what?"

Koles withdrew his gaze from the young man's chest, startled. He couldn't help but look up, only to meet Shuoyue's deep eyes. He was immediately overwhelmed by her aura and stammered, unable to utter a word.

Seeing this, Shuoyue reached to her chest and removed the golden pearl:

"You came to me for nothing more than this, the last thing Black Frankenstein left behind."

When Shuoyue appeared in her true form, she used her persuasive skills to resolve Ken's inner conflict. Ken was trapped in the illusion created by Shakespeare and knew that there was no hope of escape. In addition, she was grateful for Shuoyue's explanation, so she took the initiative to leave and handed over her ability to control electricity as a precious orb to Shuoyue.

If we're talking about the only point of intersection between him and Kaures, that's it.

Thinking of this, Shuoyue shrank back, dodging Kaules's outstretched hand, her tone indifferent.

"But it's too late now, Frankenstein can't come back. Since you didn't cherish her in the first place, who are you trying to impress with this weak look now?"

“I didn’t not cherish her!” Koles said urgently. “I just wanted to see her one more time…”

Wow, such deep affection and loyalty! Kendall Jenner really made the right choice in selecting him as her groom.

But what does that have to do with me?

The emotionless assassin was about to refuse, but a strange light appeared deep in his eyes. The next moment, Koles, who was looking down, saw a golden jewel.

“Here, take this bead if it can help you.” Shuoyue smiled gently. “If you can stand tall and tell me that you have no regrets about your time with Frankenstein after summoning her, that would be even better.”

Kaules could no longer hear what Shuoyue said; he simply trembled as he stared at the jewel that shone with a cold light, as if he were looking at the girl with whom he had spent a brief time.

—Really? So you were here all along.

Was the fragment he entrusted before his death, the wish he made, the precious jewel in his hand?

Cowles wouldn't blame Frankenstein for aiding the enemy; he firmly believed that the girl must have received some incredible revelation from the new moon to willingly give a part of herself to this enemy.

Moreover, Shuoyue is now also a member of their Black faction.

His mind was racing, but Koles simply closed his eyes, recalling the days that flowed by quietly like water, as if he and Frankenstein were still sitting in the middle of the lawn, gazing up at the snow-white petals falling from the sky.

After a long while, Corles respectfully returned the jewel.

"You were looking all high and mighty before, not at all like a magician."

"I'm just average when it comes to magic, I can't compare to my sister."

Was it because of the change in Shuoyue's aura, or because his behavior made Kaules feel favorably towards him? In any case, the two were finally able to have conversations that resembled those of friends.

"For Ken's sake, let me give you another piece of advice. The failure of the Thousand World Tree is already inevitable. To put the Clock Tower at ease, it will be necessary to send someone to the Clock Tower as a 'hostage,' and that person must be respectable and not too important, so..."

"Ah, yes, it's me. I was already aware of it."

"Good to know. Consider the El-Melloi classroom in the Department of Modern Magic, young man. It's definitely the best place for heretics like you to hide."

"So I'm a heretic... Oh well, thank you anyway."

Koles looked at the gentle-smiling Shuoyue, thanked her softly, and then took his leave.

He came to see Shuoyue for two reasons: first, he couldn't let go of Frankenstein, who had left without saying goodbye; and second, he wanted to take advantage of the alliance to discuss the future of the Thousand World Tree with Shuoyue, the Clock Tower's special envoy.

However, the young man's perceptiveness exceeded Koles' expectations; he revealed the clock tower's 'secret' to Koles without Koles even having to speak.

Thinking about it this way, could it be that... Shuoyue is actually a good person?

Completely unaware that someone's main account had gone online, Koles was bewildered.

After Kaules left, Shuoyue was about to get up when she caught a glimpse of a small head peeking out from the doorway.

Golden hair fell down, and her pretty face cautiously peeked out halfway. Her purple eyes, which were full of majesty on the battlefield, now shone with a lively and cunning light.

Upon noticing Shuoyue's ambiguous gaze, the saintess blushed and instinctively shrank back. Then, as if realizing something, she pretended to have just arrived and stepped out from behind the wall, walking awkwardly toward the young man.

Joan of Arc: Justified and confident.jpg

Let's transition with a few chapters of everyday life before returning to the main storyline.

Chapter 494 The Saintess and the Cat Girl

Good afternoon! The sun is shining brightly today; it's a perfect day for a nap~

"There's nothing I can do about wanting to sleep..." Shuoyue only got halfway through his sentence when a surge of consciousness rushed into his mind, forcibly pushing him back down.

His smile faded slightly as the young man looked at the blonde saintess, his tone indifferent:

"If you want to sleep, you can lie in the blanket or on the sofa, it's fine, just don't linger next to me."

"Really, do I look like such an indecent person?" Joan of Arc was used to Shuo Yue's sharp and direct words. She pretended to be dissatisfied and walked to Shuo Yue's side, sat down opposite him, and looked at the young man's handsome face and deep eyebrows. She couldn't help but laugh.

"How strange, actually. I never expected that after all this time, you would end up on the same side as me."

Honestly, Joan of Arc thought she still had to work towards defeating the new moon, but now it seems that God is still on their side.

Thinking this, a faint blush rose on the saint's face, while Shuoyue turned her head slightly, gazing at Joan of Arc's dazzling golden hair in the afternoon sun and her incomparably radiant smile, and pursed her lips.

"Ah."

In the harmonious tranquility, Shuoyue picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Joan of Arc. The girl smiled as she took it, blew on it for a few moments, and then drank it all in one gulp.
