I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"You two are so unlovable—!"

"This has nothing to do with me, right?" Ryougi Mana sighed.

......

"Wow, that firefighter is amazing! He stabilized the pillar using alchemy!"

"That one over there, that's Aja Redstone!"

"An arrow costing 200,000 yen...is that too expensive?"

"Sir, this arrow is pure gold, pure gold!"

"Phew..." Looking at the crowd around her, Ryougi Kazumi let out a breath and said with a smile, "It seems a little chilly here."

He watched the pedestrians around him saying this, but as for himself... he didn't feel anything.

“I feel just right.” Ryougi Shiki looked at a sign on the street next to her: [Alchemy Classroom].

"What's wrong?"

“No, it’s alright.” Ryougi Shiki turned around, took Ryougi Kazuya’s hand and leaned closer: “Then, let’s go.”

"Ah..." Ryougi Kazumi looked away from the jewelry store she had just been looking in the direction of Ryougi Shiki's gaze and said, "Well then, shall we go take a look over there?"

"Over there? Ah...that alchemy classroom?"

"No, it's that jewelry store, the jewelry store..."

"Ha, what's so interesting about that thing? It's not as good as... well, never mind, let's go take a look."

"Oh right, style..."

"what happened?"

"Happy birthday."

Chapter 1135 The Banquet

"Birthday?" Ryougi Shiki paused for a moment, "Ah... today is the 17th... ha..."

As she spoke, she sighed and tapped Ryougi Kazumi on the head, saying, "You, how old am I, still talking about birthdays... Besides, even if it is a birthday, I'm... over a hundred years old this year?"

"That doesn't count," Ryougi Kazumi waved his hand and said, "How can you count that? If you just walk like this, everyone will probably think you're a high school or college student."

"Hmph... Well... Anyway... Thanks." Ryougi Shiki paused. "But you still remembered... your birthday."

"Of course. You could say we were lucky," Ryougi Kazumi said with a smile. "We didn't miss our birthdays on the way back, and it happens to be today. If we had come back a day later, we would have missed it!"

"It doesn't matter whether we miss this opportunity or not. Okay, let's go for a walk and let's not talk about this anymore."

"Ah, let's go, I'll buy you a birthday present while I'm at it."

"Forget about that kind of thing. I don't feel anything when I buy myself a birthday present."

"Well then, let me think about what I have right now that I could give as a birthday present."

"Haha, then you should think about it carefully."

......

"Hey, hey—you're finally back!" Oda Nobunaga waved to the two people who pushed open the door and walked in. "Seriously, why did the main character leave?"

"Well, it seems like we've been gone for quite a while," Rin Tohsaka said with a smile. "Although, it's only been about a month here."

“Indeed, a long time has passed over there,” Ryougi Kazumi said, closing the door behind him.

"Sister, we're a little short-handed, come and help—"

"Yes, yes, I understand." Rin Tohsaka waved her hand. "Then, I'll go help. You guys chat first~"

"What? Only you guys came back this time? Didn't you bring any other [newcomers]?" CC looked at the pizza that was already made on the table, thought for a moment, and decided not to start eating yet.

"Ah, I brought a few people with me, but they're not here yet. I'll bring them over when I have time," Ryougi Shiki replied with a smile.

"Really? I knew it was true."

"How is it, Nobu? You finally remembered how to use the Noble Phantasm, but have you forgotten it again?" Ryougi Kazuya, sitting at one end of the long table with Ryougi Shiki, asked Nobu with a smile.

"You're completely underestimating me! How could that be? I've completely remembered how to use the Noble Phantasm."

"Hahaha--"

"Hey, what are you all laughing at? Do you look down on me, the Sixth Demon King?!" Nobu slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, looking at the laughing crowd.

“I remember last night you were playing a game and saying, ‘Huh? Right, how do we use the Three Thousand Worlds? Well, forgetting is inevitable~ The important thing is the game, the game.’” Okita Souji sighed and said from the side.

"Ugh—! Okita, you bastard, how dare you expose my weaknesses—"

"Hey, stop it! Don't cause any trouble! If you overturn the table, you'll be in big trouble!" CC said, her voice slightly panicked as she held onto the table.

"Alright." The heroic spirit Emiya placed the two plates of food on the table and said, "It's almost over, but don't cause any trouble before then."

Clang—

"I thought there would be new people coming, but there aren't any." Lelouch pushed open the door and walked in at this moment. "Well, that's perfect. It saves me the trouble."

"No, in terms of the outcome, there will still be people coming later, they just haven't come yet."

"Ha...I knew it." Lelouch sat down next to C.C., with his sister Nunnally following behind. "So, did you bring back anything interesting this time?"

"Yes, I brought back a few Zanpakuto." Ryougi Kazuya nodded: "About twenty Asauchi that no one has ever used before, and I also copied the current technology from the Technology Development Bureau. I don't know if they will be of any use in this world."

"Huh? A Zanpakuto? I want it! I want it!" Okita Souji exclaimed hurriedly, "Perfect timing! My previous sword broke. Give me one, please give me one!"

"Yes, yes, I'll give you one, but are you really sure you can use it? After all... you're not the Grim Reaper or anything..."

"I don't know, but can we give it a try? We'll see if it works."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about knives and swords anymore..." Rin and Sakura Tohsaka placed plates of food on the table: "Then, the banquet begins~"

“But Kiritsugu and the others haven’t arrived yet. I’ll give him a call,” Emiya sighed.

"Yes, let's call everyone over. It's better to have more people around now." Rin Tohsaka smiled and looked at Ryougi Shiki, saying, "By the way, happy birthday~"

"Oh, you remember something like that too?" Ryougi Shiki paused for a moment.

“No, I don’t remember at all.” Rin Tohsaka sat down and said, “It’s just that the person next to you sent me a text message, no… it seems it wasn’t just me, everyone should have received it.”

"Really, I already mentioned this in the text message, just pretend you remember it."

“Well, I memorized it myself,” Nanali said, extending her hand.

"Sorry I'm late."

Clang—

With that sound, the door was pushed open again, and Kiritsugu Emiya and the others walked in, saying with smiles, "It took a while to prepare the gifts."

"Wow, that's impressive! They even prepared a gift! I didn't bring anything—"

"Fine... you guys, thank you anyway."

"So what does this all mean? Is it just a perfunctory gesture?" CC said, picking up the pizza and eating it as she watched the dishes being served.

"This is so annoying! It's none of your business. Can't you shut up even if you eat?"

"Ugh...you rascal..."

"Alright, alright, everyone relax." Ryougi Kazumi waved his hands and said with a smile, "It's good to relax at times like this."

Anyway, let's begin.

The river of the future always flows forward.

It won't stop because of anyone or anything, but... at this moment, here, time has lost its meaning.

It seems that everyone's talk of staying has truly come true; they've cast aside their worries and immersed themselves in the present.

Chapter 1,136 Original Draft

"Ah, it's been a long time, Kurokawa-sensei."

"Hmm... Oh..." Ryougi Kazuya was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening when she looked at the editor sitting in front of her—Iwamoto Yu.

After all, no one had called him 'Kurokawa' for a century.

When he heard it just now, he was even thinking, 'Who is Kurokawa?'

Sure enough, even though there was a gap of a hundred years, the time barrier quickly disappeared as long as people gathered together.

The beautification of memories.

I already considered that friend, whom I hadn't seen for a century, as a very good friend.

And if you meet them in person, it quickly becomes like that.

But as for his name... now people around him call him 'Ryougi' or 'Kazumi,' a few call him by his full name 'Ryougi Kazumi,' and he's still called 'Kurokawa' or something like that...

"However, it really does feel like it's been a while since we last met. How have you been lately?"

"It's alright, it's just that one of my cartoonists has mysteriously disappeared, and even after I reported it to the police, nothing came of it..." Yu Iwamoto sighed.

Ryougi and Mi knew without a doubt that their disguise had simply disappeared...

"Um, what's the matter with Kurokawa-sensei calling me here today?"

"Yes, there is one." Ryougi Kazumi nodded and said with a smile, "I've been relatively free lately, so I drew some comics and brought them over for you. You can decide which one to serialize in JUMC first, depending on your mood."

"Okay, so, where's the original manuscript?"

“There are quite a few original manuscripts, so I put them in a house nearby.” Ryougi Kazumi stood up and said, “Let’s go over there and talk.”

Boom-!

The scene shifts, and soon the two arrive at a room not far from the headquarters of the Yu Rong Society.

Iwamoto Yu looked at the distance with some surprise... It should only take about five minutes to walk from here to Yueisha.

What are you doing here, Mr. Kurokawa...?
