I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"Kurokawa! Call us when you get to Chaldea!"

Flat waved to Kurokawa Kazumi.

"Okay! I'll bring you some Antarctic specialties, like snow from there?"

“Sounds good—I’ve never been to Antarctica!” Flat said, his eyes sparkling.

"Uh..." Kurokawa Kazumi awkwardly lowered her hand; she had actually just wanted to tease him a little...

"Alright, stop fooling around." Lord El-Melloi II took the cigar from his mouth and said to Kazumi Kurokawa, "This time you'll be the representative of the El-Melloi Classroom... but don't hold back, contact me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes, I understand." Kurokawa Kazumi respected her teacher very much, after all, she had taught her a lot.

"Hmm." El-Melloi nodded. In fact, Flat also had the qualifications of a Master. However... he wasn't sent. With his personality, he'd probably tear Chaldea apart if he went.

In contrast, Kurokawa Kazumi was much better.

She was to be seen as a representative of their modern academic school, and she certainly had the qualifications for it.

More importantly, her current rank in the Mage's Association is Priest... she was originally an Open Priest.

Although her magical talent was average, she possessed unique skills in certain areas. In particular, Xiaoyuan's strength far surpassed that of ordinary people, which is why she was regarded as a priestess.

But... that's not enough.

Two years have passed since she came to the El-Mello classroom.

It's time to reach the next level of excellence.

Every magician who has studied in El-Melloi's classroom is at least a Master!

Except for him, the teacher.

Even now, he is only a sacrificial priest.

If it were a matter of writing academic papers, he could produce eloquent essays. However... poor magic skills are simply poor; no matter how impressive one's theoretical knowledge may be, it cannot produce the corresponding effects in practice.

Putting him aside, Chaldea is, after all, part of the Clock Tower, a facility created by the monarch of the Astronomical Department.

Going there to get a real feel for things would not only benefit El-Melloi's classroom, but also enhance Kurokawa Kazumi's resume. If she came back, she could become a high-ranking magician...

"Brother, let me introduce you. This is my teacher."

"Lord El-Melloi II, is that right?" Kurokawa Kazuya said directly.

"That's right. So, are you a relative of Kurokawa Kazumi?" El-Melloi II frowned as he looked at Kurokawa Kazumi and Ryougi Shiki standing to the side. He was also a little confused as to when this so-called relative had appeared.

He had secretly checked and found that Kurokawa Kazumi's brain had not been affected in any way, which meant... it was very likely true.

but...

Kurokawa Kazumi was sent by the Gemstone Elder.

Where did these two people come from?

“Yes, that’s right.” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded and smiled. “My name is Kurokawa Kazuya, the older brother of Kurokawa Kazumi. I don’t know if you’ve heard of him, but he is Lord El-Melloi II.”

“I’ve heard Kurokawa mention it.” El-Melloi II nodded. “But, is Kurokawa from a family of magicians? Your eyes, if I’m not mistaken, should be Mystic Eyes. This special property, is it the sun and the moon...? If so, one of them should be the Dark Mystic Eye, right?”

"Oh, that's amazing," Kurokawa Kazuya exclaimed in surprise. "You immediately recognized that my two eyes are different Mystic Eyes, and even discerned the truth about one of them..."

This time, it was El-Melloi II's turn to be somewhat surprised. Most magicians wouldn't react this way when their trump cards are revealed.

"However, there is one mistake. My parents and I were just ordinary people, ordinary people who never crossed into the realm of magic. In other words... I and Kurokawa Kazumi are the first generation. As for the Mystic Eyes, they were transplanted later."

El-Melloi's pupils contracted slightly.

The first generation of magicians?

Is this level of quality already achieved in the first generation?

When facing Kurokawa and Miyabi, Gray, who was beside him, told him that "there was a familiar aura around those two, a dangerous aura." She warned him to be careful.

Standing just a step behind him, Gray secretly activated her magical costume inherited from the Age of Gods, ready to reveal her true form at any moment.

Revealing the holy lance—Rhongomyniad.

"Hmm?" Just then, Kurokawa Kazuya noticed the hooded woman standing behind El-Melloi.

The moment he saw that woman, he couldn't help but think of someone—The Lion King.

A variant of King Arthur.

Artoria, the goddess who became divine and sat enthroned in Camelot because she held the Holy Lance.

“I see… Is this how it is when you grow up?” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded, but… he couldn’t sense whether this person possessed divinity or not; he didn’t have that ability.

"Um, could you please stop staring at Gray like that?" Sven said, grasping Kurokawa Kazuya's arm.

"No, I apologize. It's just that seeing her reminded me of someone, someone named Artoria."

El-Melloi II's pupils contracted slightly. This guy...

Who exactly is this Kurokawa?

Suddenly, as if he had just thought of something, he said, "A parallel world...?"

Kurokawa Kazuya paused slightly. "Impressive... El-Melloi, no, Waver Velvet. I didn't expect you to have grown to this level at this point... I was just trying to play a trick on you, but I didn't expect you to see through it so quickly. How did you do that?"

“It’s nothing serious.” El-Melloi II smiled. “However, since Kurokawa Kazumi and the Jewel King are related, I naturally thought about it that way and even probed a little. I didn’t expect it to be true… I see… It seems I’ve touched on someone in that field. My apologies.”

"No, it's just that a special ability happened to touch upon it. My knowledge of magic is far inferior to that of Kazumi."

“I see… Well then.” El-Melloi II turned his gaze to Kurokawa Kazuya: “I haven’t asked your name yet, have I? May I ask?”

"Me? My name is Ryougi, Ryougi Shiki."

“Two Elements... ah, just as I thought…” El-Melloi muttered to himself, glancing to the side. “Alright! Everyone’s almost here. Let’s get ready, the plane’s about to take off.”

Chapter 330 The Master of the Lostbelt

"What are you looking at?" Ryougi Shiki asked Kurokawa Kazuya from the military helicopter.

"It's nothing, just checking it out," Kurokawa Kazuya said with a smile, glancing at the other people in the cabin.

The majority of them were visitors like him and Ryougi Shiki.

Besides Kurokawa Kazumi, there are six other people with Master qualifications...

There were exactly seven people.

However, Kurokawa and Miyako didn't recognize five of them at all and had no recollection of them, except for one person.

It was a girl wearing an eye patch.

There must be some kind of demonic eye under the eye mask.

She looks to be about the same age as Kazumi Kurokawa.

But... that appearance... reminded him of a character mentioned in FGO 2.0 that he had watched.

However, it was only mentioned briefly at the beginning.

Her voice actress, background, and everything else are all unknown.

However... she is the Master of the Lost Chronicles in FGO 2.0, one of the seven members of Group A.

In other words... if it were her, she might know something about what the Lostbelts are all about... to gather information!

He had a strong interest in something that was completely unknown.

If we could make some preparations in advance...

Looks like I need to ask her sometime... With her own Stand ability, I don't have to worry about her lying or anything.

"Well..."

Kurokawa Kazuya placed his hand on his waist, where Ryougi Shiki reached out as if to pinch him.

"What's wrong?"

"You...you really are a pervert, aren't you?"

"Huh? Ah... I'm sorry." Kurokawa Kazuya apologized directly, saying, "I just felt that something interesting might happen, I absolutely didn't mean anything by it."

"Is that so? That's good then." Ryougi Shiki nodded. "But... I think it's alright if I try to kill her?"

"Whatever you want, if you really can bring yourself to do it," Kurokawa Kazuya said with a smile.

"Hey, brother, what are you guys talking about?"

"Don't worry about the kids," Kurokawa Kazuya said, waving his hand.

"I'm not a child anymore!" Kurokawa Kazumi said with dissatisfaction. "I'm all grown up now. By normal standards, I should be in high school this year. I'm not a child anymore."

"Yes, yes, it's not small anymore. But I still won't tell you, haha. Okay, okay, we're almost there—"

Accompanied by the sound of propellers.

The helicopter landed in front of Chaldea.

The group began to walk down.

Taking advantage of this moment, Kurokawa and Mira, along with Ryougi Shiki and Kurokawa Kazumi, quickly walked up to Ophelia Famsolone, the blindfolded girl from the Summoning Department, and said, "Hey, do you... know about Lostbelts?"

"Huh? What's that?"

No, there's nothing there.

Kurokawa Kazuya looked up, said something, and pulled the two of them out, leaving the girl looking at him with a puzzled expression.

His stand-in, Atom, has already given him the answer: that person truly doesn't know what "Losers" are, so there are three possible outcomes.

The first possibility is that she genuinely didn't know that this world had absolutely no connection to the Lostbelts.

The second possibility is that she knows what Lostbelts are, but her Stand didn't detect that she was lying, and other people... even Servants wouldn't think that way. But since the other party might be a Lostbelt Master, it's perfectly reasonable to be cautious.

After all, while the Lostbelts have released a general outline of their setting, their specific manifestations remain a complete mystery to Kurokawa Kazuya.

The third possibility is that she genuinely doesn't know, but the reason is simply that she hasn't yet come into contact with anyone or anything related to the Lostbelt.

"Loserbelt, brother, what's that?" Kurokawa Kazumi asked in confusion. Others couldn't see it, but she could see it clearly.

A stand appeared behind Kurokawa Kazuya in that instant.
