I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"In that case, we still need the first Hassan located in the Temple of Azrael..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment and said, "But all we know right now is that the temple is deeper in Higashi no Village, but we don't even know where Higashi no Village is."

"This can only be explored slowly... If only I could meet a Hassan..."

"Well, this topic is pretty much over, isn't it?" Dr. Roman said. "We can't really come up with any good strategies for the Grail holder in this singularity for the time being. Regarding this... I checked the equipment earlier, and it seems there are no problems... However, the reactions of Group A Masters over there were indeed observed. There were two reactions, one from Mash, and the other..."

"Ah, it's me. Tsk, that guy Maris Billy recorded some boring stuff." Yu Ji sighed.

"So, Miss Yu is actually Miss Jie?"

"Oh ho..." Alexander stroked his chin, looking on with amusement.

Fujimaru Ritsuka finally realized what was going on: "So... Assassin is actually a Master from Chaldea? Or from Team A?"

“Yes, it seems that’s the case.” Mash nodded and said, “It’s like Mr. Emiya, right? I heard Ryougi-san say that Mr. Emiya was once summoned when he was still alive and had to kill his past self. In fact, it might have been to see his past self and strengthen his beliefs again in the process of fighting against his past self… Of course, these are just speculations. Mr. Emiya has always kept quiet about these things.”

"Miss Jie is the same, right? In other words... although we didn't expect it, Miss Jie has the potential to become a Heroic Spirit, and she is indeed recorded in the Hall of Heroes. Now she has been summoned back to the time when she was still alive, and Yu Ji's identity is actually a disguise, right?"

Mash Kyrielight said with an air of 'I understand everything'.

"Mostly correct, except for the last point."

"?"

"I was indeed summoned to this point because of issues with the Valhalla timeline, but 'Yu Ji' is not the identity I'm pretending to be. Or rather, quite the opposite, 'Akuta Hinako' is the identity I'm pretending to be. Yu Ji is my real name."

"Huh?" Σ(°△°|||)︴

Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka both looked at Yu Ji in surprise: "But Yu Ji was actually a figure from the late Qin Dynasty in China, right? That's over two thousand years ago, more than two thousand two hundred years ago. That... that means... that..."

"There's nothing strange about it, is there? That's right, I've lived from that time until now."

"..."

"Dr. Roman, why do you look like you know something but are hesitant to speak?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Yu Ji finally remembered Dr. Roman's true identity.

To be honest, when she woke up and learned that Rafe was a Demon Pillar and that Dr. Roman was Solomon, she was extremely surprised. She never expected such a thing to happen. Chaldea is truly a place where hidden talents abound.

Although I have been observing, there are still many things I cannot observe.

Although he has now become human, he has lost that omnipotence, lost the wisdom of Solomon, and lost the ability to see the past, present, and future.

but--

He should have seen it before that.

If that's the case, he should know Yu Ji's true identity!

"Really...really! What am I still hiding at a time like this? Ugh...why did this have to happen?!" Yu Ji, who had been hiding all along, started to get agitated.

Originally, I wanted to at least hide my identity, to hide the fact that I was called the 'True Ancestor'.

However, it turned out that there was someone nearby who knew that Yu Ji was the true ancestor.

What?!

Was it because being summoned and seeing that horrible face had shocked him so much that he lost his mind?

“This…this reaction is—” Fujimaru Ritsuka said, looking at Yu Ji who was glowing all over, “Spirit Origin Ascension?”

"Ah...really, is this enough?" Yu Ji's clothes changed. The black striped clothes underneath disappeared, and the glasses on her eyes also disappeared. Her hair, which was tied in a braid at the back, fell down and became long hair that reached almost to her heels.

"!! Huh? This...this is—?"

"Oh, oh, oh..." Iskandar stroked his beard: "This is really something."

"You can't look at this, Senpai!" Mashu covered Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes.

“That’s right, I’m not human, but an elf of Gaia. So living for a thousand or two thousand years isn’t a big deal, is it?” Yu Ji said with a frown. “Really, why did they have to summon me at this time of year? What does the survival of humanity have to do with me? Why did they have to drag me onto this train of saving humanity?”

"Gaia's elves?"

"Ah, well... anyway, quite a few people have taken it upon themselves to call me the True Ancestor, so it doesn't really matter. But you... is that what you're really concerned about?"

"No, no, I'm just curious," Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly waved her hand and said.

"Are you satisfied now, Dr. Roman? You should have known my identity long ago, right?" Yu Ji said to the other end of the communication.

"N-no... well, I didn't know... haha..." Dr. Roman chuckled and said, "I do know Yu Ji's identity, but I didn't expect Akuta Hinako to be Yu Ji... Anyway, the two of them give off very different vibes, right? Eh? Wait... if that's the case, then the Akuta Hinako who's frozen right now..."

"Ah, that's right! That's enough..." Yu Ji sighed, "Although my strength has dropped to its lowest point because I haven't drunk blood for a long time, I'm not someone who dies so easily. That kind of injury would heal in about three days if left untreated, and with proper treatment, I might even recover in a day, but! Ah!"

Yu Ji gritted her teeth and said, "You actually froze me? Are you kidding me? Are you blind? Can't you see my injuries are healing???"

"..." Mashu paused, glanced at Yu Ji now, and then recalled Akuta Hinako, who was practically invisible, just quietly reading a book to the side...

Yes, their faces do look very similar.

But these two...

Is it really the same person?

Something must have gone wrong!

Chapter 1229 The Reason for the Change

"By now, those people should know who I am..."

DIO touched his neck; since it was Osmandis's body, there were no star marks there.

He had already received news from the previous village, including the fact that his use of 'flesh buds' had been exposed.

but...

That's fine.

"Everything is under my control."

......

Yu Ji was furious.

It's better not to mention it, the more you bring it up, the angrier you get.

"Hahaha—I never thought such a thing could happen."

Iskandar looked at what was happening in front of him and burst into laughter, his laughter sounding like it was about to shake the tent off its feet.

"What's so funny! You idiot—"

"No, no, don't be angry... Hmm, I can't think of a way to address you right now... Come to think of it, Xiang Yu was probably a little over a hundred years after me, but... you must have existed before you met Xiang Yu, right? Could you be older than me?"

"That's right, is there a problem?"

"Haha, no problem, no problem!" Iskandar waved his hand and looked at Yu Ji, whose expression was obviously unfriendly, and said, "I am not so tactless as to ask a woman's age."

Isn't that already a roundabout way of asking the question...?

Fujimaru Ritsuka's lips twitched slightly.

Moreover, unlike Alexander, who was almost always in Valhalla before and after his death.

Yu Ji truly transcended those two or three thousand years.

It might take even longer...

Cough cough, I can't think about this, I can't think about this...

"Is that so..." Dr. Roman paused for a long time before saying, "It's not my fault. The situation was very critical, and it was the director who gave the order!"

"So, you just pushed everything onto the director?" Yu Ji smiled kindly.

"...My fault." Dr. Roman immediately admitted defeat: "So, what should we do next? Wake you up from your frozen state? If what you say is true, Hinako Akuta in Chaldea will recover soon enough if she's left alone after being unfrozen, right?"

“…” Yu Ji paused and thought for a moment: “Let’s forget about it for now, let me think about it.”

She hasn't decided yet.

If I awaken my other self and am unable to contact the alien god, will I still be able to see 'Xiang Yu'?

I do not know.

In short, it's best to keep things as unchanged as possible. Her only goal is to meet Xiang Yu again.

Neither humanity nor the world matters!

“Alright, it’s up to you to decide,” Dr. Roman said. “By the way, since that’s the case, could you possibly lend a hand?”

"Huh? What?"

"You know what happened in the future... This concerns human history, after all. Can you tell me about it? Even if humanity is restored, it doesn't mean it's over, right?" Dr. Roman asked the question that had been building up for a long time.

He no longer has the foresight to see the future.

We can't see it, and we don't know what the future holds.

The information from Ryougi and Miyabi has come to an end, but—at this moment there is a real person from the future, so we can once again gain an advantage in terms of information.

"Want to know the future from me? No problem, but do you really want to hear it?" Yu Ji said with a smile.

"!!"

“I see…” Holmes suddenly interrupted the communication, saying, “Then, may I ask if there is any difference between this singularity and the current situation in your original 'history'?”

"...It's not just a little different, it's completely different." Yu Ji also became a little serious and said, "For example, Sherlock Holmes, you shouldn't be in Chaldea right now, right? You should be in this singularity, which is where you first met Chaldea, that's what the records say."

"And... the enemy in this singularity isn't DIO, it should be the Lion King, right? What exactly happened? Can I assume that you knew 'future information' in advance, thus causing the world to change?"

“That’s right, generally speaking, that’s how it can be understood.” Holmes smiled. “But it doesn’t matter, the actual situation is somewhat different from what you think. The reason for this situation is not because we know the future, but something else. Simply put… Chaldea is too strong right now.”

"what?"

“If the singularities were still the same level of difficulty, they would be easily conquered. In that case, we wouldn’t even have to wait until the end of this year for the final singularity; we might have already completely repaired it six months ago. And Beast, who has the ability to see through the past, present, and future, clearly saw this. He had to make changes; he had to create stronger singularities, even those that were beyond his control. Only in this way could he stop Chaldea’s progress.”

Holmes said, "So, as you can see, this has led to the current situation."

“Wait a minute—that’s not right, is it?” Yu Ji frowned and pointed at Fujimaru Ritsuka, saying, “How strong can he be? Him? Isn’t it obvious how many Servants he can contract? Even if a powerful Servant appears in Chaldea, he wouldn’t be able to unleash his full power if he contracts him, right? No… wait a minute.”

Before anyone else could answer her.

She herself realized that something was wrong with her words.
