I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"Hmm? Ah...right, thinking about it carefully, it's not that surprising." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded. Both Ryougi Shiki and he himself had the potential to bring that Fou to life.

The Ryougi Shiki (Two Rites) has this special feature inherent in its very existence.

As for Kurokawa Kazuya himself... he had also met Merlin twice, and perhaps he had been influenced by something, after all, the Flower Magician was linked to his dream from the Starry Sea.

So it's not a big deal that Fufu came over because of this.

Afterwards, they probably left after confirming that he was not in danger.

"However, Shiki, you are indeed very capable, as you can actually understand its words."

“It’s not a difficult thing, after all, it’s intellectual.” Ryougi Shiki sighed, “But... since we’re here to visit, isn’t there anyone to guide us or something?”

"Haha, after all, today is supposed to be our day off, we've had a long day." Kurokawa Kazuya thought for a moment and said, "That visit to Chaldea and the Master qualification test are both tomorrow, right?"

"Is that so... Well then, let's go back. It's pretty boring here anyway."

“Alright, let’s go back for dinner.” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded. “Perfect timing. We just summoned a butler; it would be nice to see his cooking.”

After returning to their room, Kurokawa, Yashiki, and Ryougi once again used D4C to travel to a parallel world.

Before leaving, he waved goodbye to the monitor.

......

"Disappeared."

Inside the monitoring room.

Rafe Lenore and the current director, Olga Marie Asmirette Animusfia, were both here and witnessed the scene where Kurokawa and Ryougi Shiki disappeared.

“It seems they used some special method to leave this place.” Rafe Lenore said, then looked at Roman standing beside him and asked, “Do you have any clues? How did they disappear?”

"No, I have absolutely no idea."

Roman shook his head: "However, I do have an idea."

“Just say what’s on your mind,” Olga Marie asked with a sigh.

"Parallel world travel...is that a possibility?" Roman asked, holding up a finger as an example.

"Huh? You're kidding me. Parallel world travel isn't that simple. Even with a powerful magic that allows access to the Second Law, countless preparations are needed to have even the slightest chance of traveling to a parallel world. After all, there's only one Jewel Mage."

"That's true, but... Kurokawa Kazumi. This person is related to the Jewel Mage. In that case, it's not impossible that Kurokawa Kazuya and Ryougi Shiki... are also related to the Jewel Mage, right? After all... according to the investigation, there is absolutely no information about Kurokawa Kazumi before 2010 in this world. The information before that is zero."

"How could this happen..."

“That’s certainly a possibility,” Rafe nodded. “Moreover, they clearly noticed our surveillance, yet they remained completely unfazed, even exchanging greetings… Honestly, they must have absolute confidence in themselves. [Even if Chaldea plots against them, they can easily escape] No… it should be [They can easily counterattack]. They must have that kind of confidence. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain their composure.”

As he spoke, Rafe looked at the visitors in the other rooms on the monitor: "The others are all very proper. Only those two are actually swaggering around like that. The others are nominally visitors, but they are actually here to spy on our Chaldea."

“Indeed…” Olga Marie gritted her teeth. The former director had only recently passed away, and these people were like sharks that had smelled blood, eagerly swimming over.

That's why she acted so aggressively before; otherwise... she would have been the one to be devoured if she had been just one step away.

However, in order to maintain the operation of Chaldea, we still have to let them come.

If we don't let them see the results of Chaldea, they might be forgotten by the world at any time.

“Relatively speaking, although these two people exude a dangerous aura... and even Fufu appeared in front of them, they didn’t seem to have any ill intentions, so you could say that?” Roman said, extending his hand.

"Hmm...alright, let's not talk about them anymore. Master's basic test results are out, right? What were they?"

"Yes, the most qualified candidate for Master this time is Famsolone from the Conjuration Department, Ophelia Famsolone. The second is Kurokawa Kazumi from Modern Magic."

Chapter 333 Chaldea's Surveillance

"Oh, is that amazing?"

As soon as Kurokawa Kazuya returned, he saw the completely renovated room, the brightness of which seemed to have increased several times over.

"You're back, Master. How was it? You did a good job, didn't you?" The Heroic Spirit Emiya said, standing to the side and looking at the two who had suddenly appeared.

“Great job. Right, Shi?”

Ryougi Shiki nodded: "Hmm... I feel much better than Akira."

"Thank you for the compliment." Emiya, the Heroic Spirit, sighed inwardly. It seemed she really was destined to become a caretaker. The surrounding area was peaceful; there was no indication of any impending Holy Grail War.

Even the magician's fluctuations were pitifully small.

The two largest and most mysterious locations on this land.

One is the Emiya residence.

The other one is a family lineage called Liangyi.

And one of the two people in front of us is called Ryougi Shiki, so isn't that simple?

There will never be any Holy Grail War here. This person in front of me was only summoned for the sake of the nanny!

The level of housekeeping doesn't just refer to cooking.

Cleaning the room is naturally included in that.

"Is dinner ready?" Kurokawa Kazuya asked, sitting down beside him.

"No, not yet. After all, there's no food in the room, and I don't have any money or anything."

"I see, I forgot." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded and tossed a card to the Heroic Spirit Emiya: "This is the money. The password is this. Just use whatever funds you have. Go buy dinner quickly. Make something you're good at. But... if you have time in the future, would you like to learn some Chinese, French, or Indian cuisine? Personally, I don't really like Japanese food, but I prefer Chinese food. Understand?"

“…I understand.” Emiya’s lips twitched slightly. Seriously…this guy went too far.

"Well then, I'll go buy groceries now. I'll take a short break in the meantime."

"Yeah. Shiki, let's play a game." Kurokawa Kazuya said, turning on the TV and shaking the handle in his hand.

"Sure, we're just waiting anyway. But don't you need to draw comics or something?"

"Ah... that..." Kurokawa Kazuya thought for a moment, "Fullmetal Alchemist and Bleach are finished, Code Geass has been handed over to Anno and the others, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is still enough for several years. This is probably a relatively free period for me recently."

"I see, no wonder they've started wandering around like this around the clock."

"Haha, that's right." Kurokawa Kazuya picked up the box containing the game discs and said, "It won't be long before JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4 ends, and then the new manga will come out. Depending on the situation, I might have to work for another month."

......

"many..."

Emiya, the Heroic Spirit, stared wide-eyed at the ten-figure bank account on the card: "You're giving me this much money just for ingredients?"

This time...

It seems like I've got a pretty generous Master...

Emiya, the Heroic Spirit, was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and smiled: "Alright... I've been a little tired lately, perhaps this is a vacation granted by the Counter Force?"

After all, it's just doing housework and cooking.

It's too easy for him.

and...

It's just a matter of time.

In the Holy Grail War, even a break only lasts a few days, but this is different; it might last a year, or even several years...

It felt like standing on the earth again, truly living life once more.

Although... he clearly felt his strength had declined, he was not even as strong as his Servant self, let alone his former self.

Projection magic still works, but things like Reality Marble...

That would be a complete dream.

It is completely unusable.

Oh well, at least we don't have to fight.

"As for ingredients..." The Heroic Spirit Emiya thought for a moment, then looked at her account balance and swallowed hard. "It seems... I can buy the highest grade ones."

During his lifetime, he had only ever seen the finest ingredients but never dared to buy them...

Perhaps... we could give it a try!

No, no, no, that's not right.

After all, they gave me so much money; it might be wrong to buy ordinary ingredients. That's what they meant... to make me buy the highest-grade ingredients or something.

Being summoned this time seems pretty awesome.

......

"This is it..." After the test ended, Kurokawa Kazumi followed the instructions and arrived at the door of Kurokawa Kazumi and Ryougi Shiki's room. She entered the password and opened the door: "Brother~ I'm back... Huh? Where is everyone?"

Looking at the empty room, Kurokawa Kazumi was somewhat surprised, then slowly sighed and sat down on the bed: "Did they go out to play? Or...did they go back?"

She sighed softly as she thought about it.

Just then—

There was a rustling sound under the sheets, and suddenly two people appeared on the previously empty bed: "Ah! I knew it! You guys ran away first!"

......

Before Rafe and his two companions had even left the monitoring room, they witnessed a scene unfolding in Kurokawa and Miya's room.

"This is... he's back?"

Olga Marie, watching the scene on the monitor, quickly said, "Rafe, turn on the listening device and listen to what they're saying."

"Huh? There's such a thing?" Roman was somewhat surprised.

“Of course,” Olga Marie rolled her eyes. “Since we know they’re up to no good, we have to prepare some measures!”

"Furthermore, the people who came were all magicians. Even if they were conducting an inspection, they should have only checked the magic-related surveillance and ignored the technology. And that proved to be true... except for Kurokawa. They didn't do any inspection at all, as if they didn't care at all. But upon closer inspection, it's true. If it really is a parallel world, then it makes sense." Rafe said, pointing to the screen.

In the scene, Kurokawa Kazuya takes out a pile of food.

"See? That must have been prepared in another parallel world and then brought over. In other words... that place is just a transit point. Whether they eat or sleep, they will return to their original world."

"So, it doesn't matter whether there's surveillance or not..." Roman nodded. "Not only that, maybe he deliberately wanted us to see all of this... Is it to say, 'Don't harm Kurokawa Kazumi, or we can take her away at any time'? We're completely on guard... Chief."

Roman gave a wry smile as he spoke.
