Whose Xingyue looks like you?

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

Tears covered his eyes, and his wails echoed in the silent Kalam Hill. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... If it weren't for me... If it weren't for me... none of this would have happened. Someone like me... shouldn't have ascended the throne in the first place..."

Artoria kept crying and wailing at the corpses on the ground, and Bai Ming silently recorded the scene, then patted Artoria on the shoulder.

It would have been fine if she hadn't clapped her hands. After she clapped her hands twice, Altria threw herself into Bai Ming's arms and burst into tears.

Bai Ming stroked Altria's head with a subtle expression.

Chapter 17: At the very least, we should inherit Kotomine Kirei's legacy

Not to mention the time at Kalam Hill when Bai Ming accompanied Altria, who was in a dilemma of neither being able to live nor to die.

In Fuyuki City, where a black mud destroyed half of Shinto, Kiritsugu Emiya's dream came to an end.

The citizens who were evacuated in advance by Bai Ming were not killed by the black mud, so Shi Gong did not see a single living person after digging in the ruins.

Endless self-blame appeared in his heart.

You have to know that Bai Ming has warned him time and again that the consequences of insisting on his own way will be too much for him to bear.

But he turned a deaf ear to it.

"If...if I had listened at that time..."

Emiya Kiritsugu muttered to himself, his expression distorted and his consciousness scattered, but no one could respond to him.

My wife died, my lover died, my dream never came true, no one saved me—

“You must be joking—!”

The man with tears streaming down his face roared, and the figure digging in the rubble became more and more frantic.

The black mud destroyed more than 80% of his magic circuits, leaving him a cripple, even his body barely breathing.

For this sad man, there is one fortunate thing in the midst of misfortune, that is, Hisau Maiya is not dead yet.

When the sad man saw the staggering woman, he began to cry loudly.

The original Hisau Maiya had actually been cured, but before Bai Ming left, Bai Ming kicked her again.

“That’s great… That’s great…”

It was the first time that Hisau Maiya saw a look of redemption on that man's face.

It seems that my appearance is like the arrival of hope.

Looking at the ruins around her, Hisau Maiya already understood the final outcome.

There are no miracles and no salvation.

The man in front of him who saved him, named Emiya Kiritsugu, has completely become an empty shell with a heartbeat.

Before this, Bai Ming had reminded him more than once.

◇Tosaka family

Thanks to the intervention of a certain troublemaker, the Tohsaka family can now be said to be a happy family.

Except for Sakura Tousaka being taken away, everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

But this happiness and contentment will not last long.

Less than a year later, in order to provide a way out for future generations, Tōsaka Tokiomi overdrew his life, leaving behind several unfinished gem magics, and committed suicide under the dual pressure of the Clock Tower and the Holy Church.

Putting aside the situation of the Holy Church, the Clock Tower in the Magic Association is in a mess in the hands of these modern magicians.

It takes the tactic of relying on the power of others and bullying the weak and fearing the strong to the extreme.

The most famous one is the seal designation of Aozaki Touko. After the Clock Tower was disturbed by Touko's sister, the current fifth magician Aozaki Aoko, no one mentioned the seal designation of Aozaki Touko again.

Of course, this does not mean that the church is any better. All crows are black.

The cold-hearted Zelrich did not show up to stop this from happening. He just liquidated the Archibald family, took back the Archibald family's magic seal, and disappeared.

In the huge Tohsaka family, only Tohsaka Aoi and Tohsaka Rin are left. Fortunately, Tohsaka Aoi is still in good mental state, so Tohsaka Rin doesn't have to live such a bad life.

On the day that Sakura Tohsaka was sent to Chaldea, Morgan successfully performed a "magic" similar to Bai Ming's to move between different world lines.

Using Sakura Tousaka, Kallen, and Shinji Matou as intermediaries, Morgan brought the three back to their own world lines.

By the way, trace the traces left by Bai Ming in Fuyuki City.

On the other hand, Bai Ming usually behaves like a reckless man, but he is a real magic genius.

Whether it is learning ability, comprehension speed, or even the speed of magic research and development, it surpasses many magicians in ancient and modern times.

So when a year passed in the outside world, Bai Ming successfully created the magic ritual that defeated Alaya, turning Artoria from an imprisoned guardian into his own private soldier.

He took Altria and left the place that was a cursed land for the girl.

In January 1995, Bai Ming appeared in Guanbuzi City with Altria.

“Come and experience life.”

Bai Ming placed his hand on Altria's shoulder and said, "Before that, we need to go and pay our respects to the local tyrant and ask for a house to live in."

The Ryogi family is the local tyrant in Kanbushi City. To some extent, the Ryogi family's status is similar to that of the Sajo family in Tokyo and the Tosaka family in Fuyuki.

As one of the four great demon-exorcising families, the Liangyi family, Bai Ming believed that it was necessary to pay some visits. After all, the Liangyi family gave birth to an existence that went straight to the root.

After exchanging business cards to pay a visit, he met an individual named "Ryougi Shiki" and achieved his goal. Then he said goodbye and began his vacation life in Guanbuzi City.

This is a later story, let’s not talk about it for now.

◇

"The worse the economy gets, the more developed the entertainment industry becomes."

Gilgamesh is dead, so as long as Gilgamesh is not summoned, the King's Treasure will be Bai Ming's personal treasury.

Not to mention that he also has the monster Golden Spirit, which can give out a random amount of money and then knock down the next three people passing by to get the corresponding amount of money.

But like Grandet, he would never think of spending his own money to buy real estate, so he had to visit the local tyrants.

In response to this, Bai Ming had only one thing to say: Damn, spending money is never as good as getting something for free.

In 1989, Japan's economy reached its peak, but beneath this peak was a false bubble.

In a way, this is a great opportunity to make a fortune.

But Lao Bai was too lazy to do it.

Every day, he would lie on a recliner in the sun like the old man, cook at a certain time, and feed Altria, who looked troubled.

When I was bored, I took out Irisviel's soul and bullied her for a while.

He looks like a complete street urchin.

After seeing Irisviel's soul, the expression on Altria's face became even more complicated and subtle.

She couldn't understand why Irisviel's soul was in Bai Ming's hands.

"Bai Ming, why is Irisviel's soul in your hands?"

"Her soul was exchanged for not torturing Emiya Kiritsugu, an uneducated, ignorant, and stubborn fellow, to death, and for Hisau Maiya's survival.

This fits in perfectly with Emiya Kirei's philosophy of saving the majority and abandoning the minority, doesn't it?"

Bai Ming's lazy tone made Altria feel relieved. At least he was not using fire to burn the other person's soul.

"It's just a pity."

Bai Ming changed his tone:

"Because Emiya Kiritsugu had me split the Holy Grail earlier, the abundant magic power was not consumed too much.

Only 10 years of magic power has been consumed, and the remaining 50 years of magic power has returned to the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City. In other words, the Fifth Holy Grail War will take place in 2004."

Altria swallowed the hamburger meat in her mouth and looked at Bai Ming with confused eyes: "What are you going to do?"

"Am I being kind by sending them mother and daughter to reunite with me?"

Altria did not respond to this. After a year of companionship, she had already understood one thing: Bai Ming was a person that could not be described with words like good or bad. He was a purely chaotic existence.

Maybe the other party really wanted to help Irisviel and Illya reunite, but he probably wanted to witness something else more.

"Okay, it's snowing outside. I'm going to go out for a walk and see where the traffic in Guanbuzi City is heavy. It's not my style to just rely on the King's Treasure and become a useless person."

At the very least, he should inherit Kotomine Kirei's legacy and open a ramen restaurant or a mapo tofu restaurant or something - of course, don't ask how Kotomine Kirei died.

Chapter 18 Picked up (?) a Aozaki Orange

"In 1995, there were still many things I could do. So should I do it or not?"

Bai Ming walked on the street and looked up at the sky.

Lead-gray clouds pressed down on the sky, the high-altitude power cables were pressed into a slight arc by the accumulated snow, a layer of illusory silver-white floated on the asphalt road, and the neon tubes that were not turned off in time were stained into spots of light in the snow curtain. The whole street seemed to be covered with a silver coat.

Bai Ming took out an inconspicuous gold coin from the King's Treasure, threw it high into the air, and then walked along the street without looking back.

The gold coin thrown into the air flew high and then returned to the king's treasure.

Snowflakes fell to the ground at a speed of five centimeters per second, like the time units of some precision instrument, and accumulated into translucent ice ridges under the iron eaves of the bus stop.

"Nothing but a single thought."

In 1995, the Asagami Hatani family went bankrupt, and Asagami Fujino and her mother Asagami Miyuki remarried into the Asagami family and changed her name to Asagami Fujino.

Unlike Takahashi Yuya's Purple is his father, this world has a lot of malice towards Purple. Since he has already saved one, it doesn't matter if there is another poor Purple.

Bai Ming walked along the street.

The streets are deserted tonight, which is relatively abnormal, but Bai Ming enjoys this time alone very much.

But the silence was soon broken.

Under the streetlight in the distance, in the drifting snow, there was someone he could consider to be acquaintance.

In Guanbuzi City, there is an old woman who has absolute foresight into the future. She likes to set up a stall in an alley or a street in Guanbuzi City and use her foresight into the future to tell fortunes for others.

This is also a hot topic among high school students in Guanbuzi City.

Her real name is unknown, but people in Guanbuzi City call her Guanbuzi's mother.
