To become a king and a magician

A series of urgent notification sounds suddenly rang out.

Natsukawa Tsuki raised her wrist and pressed her wristband, causing it to project a light screen in front of her. The screen displayed the figure of Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had matured considerably.

"Aunt Ritsuka?"

[Hey, it's been a while, Yue. How's life been lately?]

"It's alright. I met up with all the aunties from this era. I was just talking to Aunt Meili. Everyone looks so much younger than I remember, but they haven't changed much either," Natsukawa Tsuki said with a smile. "So, Auntie, why are you contacting me at this time? Is there work again?"

In the video, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.

I guess so. We have all sorts of jobs, big and small. When we contact you at this time, we're first telling you that you have twelve hours left on your vacation, and we'll transfer you back tomorrow at noon. Please let us know before that.

"Well, I see."

That's settled then. See you when you get back—you'll be busy again then, so don't let your relaxed state of mind get the better of you.

"I know, Aunt Ritsuka, you can rest assured."

Xia Chuanyue smiled and turned off the communication.

Final Chapter: I'm Back

"Huh? You're leaving today?"

The day after everyone gathered at Ryougi's house, at noon.

Everyone was having lunch together at the restaurant.

Everyone showed a slight surprise upon hearing what Xia Chuanyue suddenly brought up.

"Although you said yesterday that you would be leaving in the next day or two, this is still quite sudden." Meryl was also somewhat surprised. "Has something happened in the future?"

"Well~~~~ Actually, I'm here to work. There's always been a shortage of manpower in this area. I've been on vacation for about ten days now, and it's time for me to get back to work. Otherwise, the workload will pile up and the order of the magic society will be in chaos."

Xia Chuanyue said with a smile.

"In about ten minutes, my future Aunt Ritsuka will use Reverse Spirit Transfer to teleport me back, so I'm letting everyone know now. Also, I seem to have caused a lot of trouble for all of you aunts and mothers during this time, and I'm really sorry. I will reflect on my actions later."

Seeing Xia Chuan Yue bowing her head and apologizing, everyone remained silent for a while. Then Arcueid was the first to stand up and punched his future biological daughter hard.

"duang!"

"pain!"

Xia Chuanyue immediately crouched down, clutching her head in self-defense: "Mom! It hurts so much!"

"This is a lesson. Who told you to suddenly attack me without telling me? You need to show some respect and care for your mother, understand?" Arcueid glared at Natsuki, then her gaze softened, and she patted her head.

"Well, that's all. Remember to work hard when you get back, and don't let your future self worry about you—and remember to say hello to your future self while you're at it."

"We are the same."

Aozaki Aoko smiled.

"Also, if possible, please say hello to the future Tiger for us."

"That's a bit of a problem," Natsuki said with a wry smile. "After all, Dad only came back once half a year ago, and he won't be back until the New Year—but I'll remember that."

"That's good—by the way, should we bring back some souvenirs?" Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly mentioned, "Considering the time, there's no time to go out and buy them, so let's just leave it at that."

Fujimaru Ritsuka took off a flower petal hair clip from her head and handed it to Natsukawa Tsuki: "Consider this a souvenir and a gift. Although things were a little strange when we first met, I am still your aunt."

"Ah...um, thank you, Aunt Ritsuka."

"Then I'll give you this."

"I also."

"It should be enough time to make a simple doll in about ten minutes."

......

After Fujimaru Ritsuka started it, the others also gave Natsukawa Tsuki something from their own possessions as a gift of this era.

Most of them were small pieces of jewelry they owned, or simple magical costumes they made on the spot. The most special one was Ryougi Shiki, who gave away her own short sword as a gift.

It's definitely her style.

Looking at the large pile of things that had suddenly appeared in her hands, Xia Chuanyue was slightly stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hehe, thank you aunties. I think you will be very happy when you see this in the future."

A gift sent from the past thirty years ago to the distant future.

If it were my future self, I would definitely be able to understand the ideas I wanted to convey to the past when I see this.

"Buzz~~~~"

Just then, a burst of light suddenly shone at Xia Chuanyue's feet, then visibly spread and condensed, forming a wondrous and complex magic circle that enveloped her entirely.

Although it was somewhat different from what we are doing now, most of the people present understood it.

"Future spirit particle transfer?"

"Hmm, it seems the time has come."

Clutching the pile of gifts the aunties had given her, Xia Chuanyue stood up and bowed to each of the aunties from this era: "Well then, I'll head back to the future now. See you there, aunties, Mom."

(It's really a shame I didn't get to meet my dad from this era.)

After this thought flashed through her mind for the last time, under everyone's gaze and the increasingly intense light of the spirit particle transfer, Natsukawa Tsuki's body gradually disappeared into space, and then—

"Buzz—!"

The light from the spiritual particle transfer converged into a single line, flashed briefly, and then went out completely.

Looking at the now empty place, Meryl smiled slightly and said, "So you're gone now—well, let's begin to carry out what I told you all yesterday."

"Sealing or even erasing all our memories related to the moon is the best option for us at this stage. It's too early to know about the future thirty years from now."

“That’s true.” Grey nodded. “Thank you for your help, Sister Meryl and Sister Zero.”

"Now, please close your eyes. Next, the Nightmare and I will connect to your mental realms and perform memory manipulation on you."

Sajou Rei said this.

However, before everyone could close their eyes—

"Beep beep beep beep beep!"

A rather urgent phone rang suddenly from Mary's pocket, followed by a series of rings from other people's communication devices, as if they had received a mass text message.

Taking the communicator out of her pocket, Merry turned off the ringer and glanced at it: "Oh, it's from Chaldea, an emergency contact from Romani. Let me see... huh?"

After reading the contents of the emergency contact, Mary blinked in a daze, then looked up at the others and found that they all had the same reaction.

"You all received it too?"

"Yes, it was sent by Roman."

"So...it's true?"

"Then we..."

After a brief silence, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Angelica!

"Angelica! Take us all to Chaldea immediately! Vimana or spatial displacement, whatever you need to do, get us all there quickly!"

"As ordered."

On everyone's communication devices, the emergency message from Roman contained only one sentence.

【Natsukawa is back!】

-------------------------------

future.

2052 years.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz~~~~~"

With a flash of light, Natsuki Natsuki appeared inside a machine in the center of a room that resembled a corporate research lab.

Along with her came a variety of gifts that Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others had given her all at once.

"Looks like you've made it back safely?"

Just then, a familiar voice rang out from the side. Natsukawa Tsuki looked in the direction of the voice and said, "Huh? Mina-nee? Why are you waiting for me? Where's Aunt Ritsuka?"

Standing not far away was a woman with regular features and a beautiful hairstyle. She looked to be two or three years older than Xia Chuanyue and was wearing a white lab coat over her departmental uniform.

Mina — Ryougi Mina.

She is the eldest of the Natsukawa children, 23 years old this year, and the daughter of Natsukawa Tora and Ryougi Shiki.

"As for Ritsuka's mother, she went out this morning. It seems that the headmaster of Atlas Institute has created some kind of destructive weapon again, and she rushed over to suppress it."

"Ah~~~ Aunt Shion really enjoys this very much."

"Compared to this, what are those in your hands?"

“These are gifts from the aunties who used to give me these things. I’m going to return them to all of them later.” Natsukawa Tsuki said, neatly placing the gifts on the table next to her. “So, what about my job?”

"I've already made a list for you. Be prepared to sleep only ten hours a week."

"how so!"

Natsukawa Yue's face instantly fell. So much work right after returning home. The good mood brought by going back to the past was completely ruined by just one sentence from Ryougi Mina!

Shoving the list into Natsukawa Tsuki's hands, Ryougi Mina smiled like a devil: "Good luck, [little sister] - remember to tell me what the past world was like after get off work, I'm going to have afternoon tea first."

"Ughhhhhh!!"

With a desperate shout, Xia Chuanyue grabbed her uniform jacket from the side, put it on, and then leaped through the ceiling, flying out of the hole!

In that instant, what came into her view was an endless expanse of skyscrapers—the place where she had lived for the past twenty years.

This super-large artificial island, composed of four regions in the east, west, south, and north, is the size of a floating city equal to two-thirds of Japan. It is now the core of the magic world and has been granted the status of an independent autonomous region, the "Empire".

Flying through the air and looking down at the island, Natsukawa Tsuki pursed her lips, then laughed and shouted out.

"I am back!"

"Our... [Chaldean Empire]!"
