I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"It feels like it's been a while since I've been here..."

Ryougi and Mi looked around the room, then walked out and made their way to the control room with practiced ease.

The timelines of the two worlds are almost independent fragments.

Previously, there were clues to follow, but since Goetia burned humanity, the timeline of this world has become independent. A world, like a universe, has undergone certain changes in time, space, and even its rules.

However, even so, Ryougi and Mi have their own ways of judging the flow of time between two times.

I come here to take a look when I have some free time.

The last time was about three months ago when I came from my own place, and here... only two days have passed.

Ryougi Shiki followed behind Ryougi Kazuya, seemingly without any weapons in her hands, but if she wanted to, her Zanpakuto would appear in her hand with a thought.

Ryougi and Mi originally planned to come on their own.

However, considering the time difference between the two worlds, even if he finished his singularity here in one day, more than a month should have passed on his side. Unless time changed again during that time.

However, this change has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, a long time has passed since I arrived here, but only a moment has passed over there.

However, if that's not the case, it's possible that while things are ending on my end, several years may have already passed on my end...

So I brought the style with me.

"Oh—isn't this Mr. Ryougi? Hmm... I heard he's here to resolve the singularity, that's great... as long as he's not here to rush me to finish my manuscript!" Shakespeare greeted the two of them in the corridor with a big laugh.

"I knew you were slacking off." Ryougi Kazumi waved his hand and said, "You need to work harder on your writing, otherwise you won't get paid."

Ryougi and Mi greeted the Servants they passed as they walked.

Before I knew it, there were already dozens of Servants in Chaldea, but... because things had been going so smoothly before, I hadn't asked about it.

I'm a little curious now.

With so many Servants, what singularity can't we defeat? We can just push through them.

but...

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen El-Melloi II anywhere along the way." On the elevator to the control room, Ryougi Kazuya said to Ryougi Shiki beside her, "Is he in his room? Or has he gone to a singularity, or is he not yet at Chaldea?"

"Who knows... would there be any problem if he didn't have it?"

“Yes, of course there’s a problem.” Ryougi Kazumi nodded: “There’s no crutch… Shakespeare counts, but there’s no strong crutch.”

Merlin, Kongming, and the fox himself did not see any of them.

“Mr. Ryougi, Ms. Ryougi, you’ve finally arrived—” Dr. Roman said with a slight sigh of relief as he looked at the two of them.

"How is the situation now?"

"The situation isn't good," Dr. Roman shook his head and said, "That guy is chasing us again. Thankfully, Mr. Kenpachi managed to escape, but he passed out not long after..."

"Has he not yet broken the limited spirit seal?"

"Yes... it's not solved yet." Dr. Roman sighed. "Maybe it's because he heard you were coming, so he thought, 'It doesn't matter if I don't solve it myself, I'll just fight one match first and deal with the rest later...' or something like that."

Ryougi and Mi sighed softly.

Indeed, if he doesn't unlock the secret, although he is very strong, he is only at the level of a first-class or top-tier Servant, far from reaching the level of being exceptional. If he unlocks the secret, he should be able to reach that level.

You can become a Singularity Boss-level character, but that would make many battles uninteresting.

That's something that guy probably doesn't like, and... there might be other reasons too...

Ryougi Kazuya looked at Dr. Roman and said, "By the way, even if Kenpachi didn't break the seal, couldn't all those Servants in Chaldea even get through a single singularity? Or did they encounter something of Beast caliber?"

"Ha...haha, no, not really." Dr. Roman scratched his head. "However, Chaldea's current limit is four Servants at a time, and that's just the limit for summoning Servants, not the limit for a Master's magical power..."

“In previous battles, this situation often occurred: ‘Master, I’m going to use my Noble Phantasm—? Huh? Master?’” Dr. Roman said, mimicking the tone of a certain black Saber. Then Fujimaru Ritsuka would say, “His mana is exhausted…” Although things have improved a lot since returning from that world, and Fujimaru Ritsuka’s mana has increased significantly, he can only barely withstand a Servant using his Noble Phantasm two or three times before he can’t anymore. Although… his mana increases slightly after each use, his current mana pool is already quite powerful among mages.

"About how far along is it?" Ryougi Kazuya asked. When he arrived, Fujimaru Ritsuka was mostly in the singularity, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.

“He’s already stronger than most color-level magicians.” This time it was Da Vinci who answered: “If he could master that technique called ‘Bankai,’ things would be much better. But the current level is not enough. I have already calculated the number of Servants summoned in this singularity. He has summoned various Servants more than fifty times and used his Noble Phantasm more than thirty times. He has already reached his limit.”

Ryougi and Mi were slightly taken aback, then asked, "Excuse me, how many days have passed in this singularity?"

"It's already the fifth day."

"Five days...that means about six Noble Phantasms a day?" Ryougi Kazumi nodded. Indeed, at this frequency, an ordinary magician would have been drained long ago. Look at Saber in Emiya Shirou's hands; she struggles to unleash her Noble Phantasm even once every seven days.

They release it six times a day here.

The magical power has already grown to a great extent.

only...

“This won’t do.” Ryougi Kazuya shook his head. “When I came here, I didn’t see any of the three of them. Does Chaldea not have one of them now?”

"Yes, not a single one."

"This is because we don't have any support!" Ryougi Kazumi emphasized repeatedly, "How can you beat a boss without support? Especially in a high-difficulty dungeon like this!"

"Summon the scepter, give me a buff!"

Chapter 1156 Arrival

I understand everything you're saying.

Dr. Roman sighed: "But we can't summon them! No matter how much we want to summon them, it's useless if we can't. Besides, there are more and more Servants in Chaldea now. Even if we don't need to fight normally, just maintaining their presence requires a lot of magic power."

"That's true..."

Ryougi Kazuya nodded: "If Chaldea could produce a few more Kaguya, the progress of the Singularity would probably be faster... Anyway, let's not talk about that. So, how is the situation with this Singularity?"

“Then let me handle this,” Leonardo da Vinci said. “Although this singularity is somewhat difficult, in reality, only the final Singularity Lord who holds the Holy Grail remains.”

Da Vinci paused for a moment, then said, "Now, I'm going to tell you who holds the Holy Grail. Don't be surprised."

"Okay, go ahead and say it."

"It's your younger sister, Kurokawa Kazumi."

"Well, and then?"

"..." Da Vinci paused for a moment, then laughed: "What? I thought you'd be surprised, but it turns out... you already guessed it?"

"More or less..."

Liangyi and Mi nodded.

Whether he had guessed it or not... he himself didn't know.

But... while joking around like before is fine, and fighting like before is also okay, but... I'm already a thing of the past, a far cry from that time, my younger self is long gone.

He could clearly see that he was standing on the border line.

Alucard once said, 'Don't become a monster, a pathetic monster like me—'

The current Ryougi and Mi are on the borderline between humans and monsters.

It's only been a hundred years, nothing to monsters. They can still laugh out loud and fight to their hearts' content.

But this is not the case for humans...

Human lifespan has long been nearing its limit at this point; after that, it won't die, but will increasingly detach itself from the concept of 'human'...

However, the formula is not like that...

It's because she is a pure human being, so I am also human... It is because she is by my side that I have been able to stay here.

Otherwise... what will happen next...?

Originally pursuing justice, Zouken Matou has transformed into a monster seeking immortality over the centuries.

I might not be like that, since I am already immortal, but... the 'deterioration' in this process is inevitable.

Young and enthusiastic.

He's always been like a teenager, no matter what; it all feels like a dream.

Yes, it was an infinitely beautiful dream.

But reality is not like that. The things we experience will change in the process and affect us to the present. However... there are 'locks' in there, like two interlocking locks.

It has always played a role in it.

But... perhaps it's time to let myself have some peace and quiet, to return to my youthful self, to the beginning of everything...

However, this is not the time.

Ryougi and Mi, who were on the border, had already clearly sensed the difference...

Some people may not feel anything even after going through such a period of time, probably because their initial education was different.

Their experiences are different... for various reasons.

Or perhaps it's because...you've been in a state of constant satisfaction, and because you're always full, it overflows...

'How would my past self have reacted to this news?' Ryougi Kazumi pondered this question: 'Honestly... I've forgotten. I can't recall what judgments or choices my younger self would have made, but it certainly wouldn't have been like this, with almost no reaction... It's just...'

"Never mind... I don't know what she's thinking or what she's doing... but it doesn't matter anymore, let's go."

Ryougi and Mi took a deep breath and said.

“I understand,” Dr. Roman said with a sigh of relief. “Then I will now prepare for the spirit particle transfer!”

Adjust yourself...

Starting from the very basics, ah... I see.

So that's what happened...

That makes sense.

I won't become a monster, nor will I simply be human... and the final outcome will definitely be...

"Shiki, what are you looking at?"

Ryougi and Mi looked at Ryougi standing in place and asked.

"No." Ryougi Shiki withdrew her gaze: "You... never mind, whatever."

"Hoo..." Ryougi Kazumi took a deep breath, feeling much younger, and grinned, "Alright—let's go, let's quickly perform the spirit particle transfer and bring that guy back!"
