People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

……

……

Not long after, on the street of Fuyuki City.

"It's over..."

Kotomine Kirei walked thoughtfully along the restored street.

As he watched the shattered city return to its former state, his expression and eyes became somewhat complicated.

He stretched out his palm and touched the position of his heart.

At this moment, he could clearly feel that something was beating inside, and he seemed to have really come back to life.

After going through so much, Kotomine Kirei has become able to independently think of the correct answers to the questions that once puzzled him.

What is redemption?

What is the true self?

What is life?

Well, he had found them all, and now he could say that he had never felt better.

Thinking of this, Kotomine Kirei clenched his hands and began to think about what he should do next.

First, go to the TV station to check whether there are still ordinary people who remember this incident, and find ways to appease and resolve it.

Then he went to the hospital to confess his guilt to his father and made a vow to atone for his sins.

Finally, he would go to his teacher's home to see if he had also been resurrected. If so, he would kneel down and confess his sins and accept any punishment.

If Mr. Tokiomi Toosaka had not been resurrected, he would have fulfilled his duty to support his teacher's daughter and wife, wait until the day when Toosaka Rin grew up in the future to tell her the truth, and then calmly face his own end.

As for what else...

That’s right, Kallen.

I also have to take my daughter back. They haven't seen each other for a long time. I didn't know how to get along with my daughter or how to love her before, but now I may understand.

Perhaps he will be killed by Rin soon, but before that, he will fulfill the fatherly duties that he has never fulfilled, accompany Kallen through her childhood, tell her the truth, and let her take over his position in the Eighth Secret. This can be regarded as a father-daughter inheritance.

When I think about it this way, my originally muddled life seems to have a clear goal and correct meaning at this moment.

Thinking of this, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but smile, and even his pace quickened a lot.

By the way, don’t just be happy. You have to go to the hospital as soon as possible to dig out the Origin Bullet in your body. He has been fighting with the Origin Bullet for so long, and his body is vaguely unable to take it.

However, just when Kotomine Kirei was seriously thinking about his future plans.

"Puff!" Kotomine Kirei, who was thinking about his future, suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. He looked down and saw a mercury dagger piercing his abdomen from the back. The cold touch and severe pain made him open his eyes wide.

"So, Kirei, you didn't expect that, did you?"

Suddenly, a familiar male voice came from behind.

Kotomine Kirei turned around and saw that the person he was seeing was none other than Tōsaka Tokiomi, who had a cold expression on his face.

He had committed sins and betrayed his mentor, and now he was suffering the consequences.

But unlike the situation when he pierced Tōsaka Tokiomi, this time Kotomine Kirei did not feel much pain, nor did he feel anger, struggle, or hatred.

He looked at the familiar face behind him and a look of relief appeared on his face.

Facing Tōsaka Tokiomi's hateful questioning, blood continued to flow from the corners of Kotomine Kirei's mouth, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tousaka. I'm sorry for what happened in the past. But seeing that you're okay, I'm really... so glad..."

Afterwards, he did not resist, but let his body fall downwards. He lay quietly in the alley of Fuyuki City and gently closed his eyes.

Feeling his life gradually slipping away, Kotomine Kirei's mind began to review his life.

Confusion, bewilderment, pain, degradation, joy, awakening, redemption, liberation...

What a life full of twists and turns.

But it’s better this way. He has finally atonement and can finally sleep well and peacefully.

Being redeemed at the last moment of his life was something he could die without regrets about.

Toosaka Tokiomi: “…”

Looking at Kotomine Kirei lying on the ground with a large amount of blood flowing out, Tōsaka Tokiomi's expression was complicated and his palms began to tremble unconsciously.

He gritted his teeth, with a ferocious look on his face, wanting to finish off the opponent and give Kotomine Kirei the final blow to repay him for what he had done.

However, recalling what Kotomine Kirei had said to Emiya Kiritsugu in the gymnasium when he had used his familiar, as well as the realization he had made, he felt extremely complicated. He also recalled how he had been saved by Matou Kariya that night, but in the end, Tōsaka Tokiomi still couldn't bring himself to do it.

'it's all over……'

"Hmph, let's end it here. From now on, we are even, Kirei."

He threw the blood-stained dagger in his hand directly to the side of the road, then Tōsaka Tokiomi left a last word to the dying man, then turned around indifferently, no longer paying attention to Kotomine Kirei who was lying on the ground with his last breath.

After going through so many things, Kotomine Kirei is not the only one who has changed. Tōsaka Tokiomi has also gained some insights and made a decision.

Having experienced life and death, and betrayal by his apprentice, he no longer had such a strong desire for the Holy Grail or to reach the source. Especially after seeing Kotomine Kirei's transformation, repentance, and relief, the bond between them, as master and apprentice, could not help but resurface in his mind.

"It's all over now."

All of a sudden, Tōsaka Tokiomi understood a lot. In a trance, he also thought of his beautiful wife, two lovely daughters, and...

Matou Kariya's hateful and stinky face.

Damn you, who asked you to save me? Don't think I'll recognize you just because you saved my life!

Even if you want to beat me, even kill me, I don't care, because you gave me this life, but...

"Hmph, it's too early for you to even think about taking advantage of Aoi!!" Tōsaka Tokiomi snorted inwardly.

This time, I will not ignore my family or forget the promises I made in the past. Only I can give Aoi happiness!

"The Holy Grail has already fulfilled its full potential in the hands of someone more suitable. Now I have nothing to cling to... Ancestors, please understand..."

Tōsaka Tokiomi shook his head and fished out the family photo on his pocket watch. He couldn't help but laugh as he looked at it. "Looking at it this way, it seems that long-cherished wishes aren't so urgent after all."

After witnessing so much, he could rest assured that Sakura was handed over to the magical head of the Crowley family. He was very glad that at least he did not make a mistake in choosing Sakura's adoptive family.

Now, it's daybreak...

After being lost for so long, it seems that it is time for him to go home.

I vaguely begin to miss the black tea brewed by my wife... I'll go back and enjoy it, and then have a good sleep.

With a smile on his face and no more confusion in his heart, Tōsaka Tokiomi walked towards the rising sun and headed back to his home.

And it was right next to the alley where he left.

Shortly after……

"Hey, hey! How are you? Uncle, hold on! I've called an ambulance and they're carrying you to the hospital right now."

Kotomine Kirei, who had lost too much blood, slowly opened his confused eyes at the red-haired boy's urgent call.

"...Am I...not dead yet?" he asked himself.

"Don't worry, you're not dead yet! Don't give up, you have to hold on. Uncle, you've lost a lot of blood. I'll take you to the hospital for treatment."

“…Hmm? You are…?”

In his confusion, he saw a young man's face full of concern.

"My name is Fujimaru Shirou. I'm a student who just passed by here. I saw you were bleeding and unconscious, so I came to help you. Anyway, you'd better stop talking nonsense, uncle, and keep your strength."

The boy named Fujimaru Shirou reminded with concern.

But Kotomine Kirei didn't care, because he realized that it would be difficult to carry the boy to the hospital with his weak body.

"Why... did you save me?" he continued to ask.

"Huh? Do you need a reason to save someone? Because you need help, uncle? What kind of weird question is that? If someone needs help, of course you should lend a hand."

"Haha...I see...That's right, there's no need for a reason to save someone..."

"Because... that's the right thing to do..."

Hearing the boy's answer, Kotomine Kirei showed a relieved smile on his face. He completely understood everything. Then he gently closed his eyes and leaned on the boy's back. Before he completely fainted, he vaguely heard the sound of an ambulance emergency bell.

On this day, he finally understood the meaning of his life, and...

I met a true partner of justice.

This is really great...

……

……

At the end of the Age of Gods.

The Mesopotamian riverbank.

After bathing, the blond man stepped out of the river.

His scarlet eyes looked at the piece of freshly shed snake skin left on the shore.

“Huhahahahahahahahaha——!!”

The man covered his face and laughed heartily. Then he put on his clothes and set out on his journey back to Uruk without any regrets.

"What an interesting boy, and an unforgettable memory for this king. But don't die too early, miscellaneous cultivator, or your soul will become my collection."

"We'll meet again soon."

Chapter 98 See you in the future, heroes

With the help of the huge magical power drawn from other parallel worlds by the Second Magic, and the miracles bestowed by the Holy Grail itself.

The wish Luo Wei made is still in effect, and the state of life and death is constantly reversing.

Soon, the light of morning sun pierced through the haze, filling the dark earth with golden glow.

As wishes continued to come true, the magic power contained in the golden holy grail in Luo Wei's hand, which originally exuded tremendous magic power, was still expanding, but it was not as exaggerated as before.

After the wish was fulfilled, only about one-fifth of the magic power accumulated over hundreds of years in Fuyuki City remained.

If the original magical power within the Holy Grail was a boundless ocean, symbolizing infinity, then what was left now was a vast lake, simply symbolizing enormity.

So much so that when the wish came true, the light of the Holy Grail in his hand dimmed a lot.

But Rowe had no particular reason to cherish this. Although it felt a bit regretful, he had already used up most of his magic power to craft the gift in his hand. The remaining magic power was provided by the Jewel Master. The wish he wanted to fulfill could not be fulfilled by the Holy Grail. Scathach did not have such a deep desire for the Holy Grail, so if she had taken the magic power from the Jewel Master, then returning it was no big deal. After all, repairing the world was also helping him.

Ever since he met Mr. Jewel and learned that Crown Hassan had been dispatched, he had vaguely heard the sound of bells more than once.

The reason why he was so decisive was largely because after hearing the warning from the Jewel Master, his neck had been feeling cold, as if a kind old man with a big sword and a big shield would rush out from the shadows and stab him in the neck in the next moment.

He had now learned all the primordial runes, mastering the supreme magical foundations of the Norse mythology magic system. He had also forged the finest magical ceremonial garments ever created in the modern era, a wand comparable to alchemy and the pinnacle of modern Western magic, and had completely completed the palace techniques he had pioneered and refined. He had also reached perfection in angel summoning, and his understanding of the Book of Law had reached its peak. If I had to describe it...

Lowe is not bragging. At this moment, he can be called the modern magic king, King Solomon.

The only difference is that the magic that the other party created and mastered was demon summoning, while he followed the path of angel summoning left by Aleister, as well as many special theories such as the Silver Star.

In short, as long as he can show any one of his achievements now, whether it is the mythical costume reforged by human power, or the complete completion of the temple rituals, or completing the theory in the "Book of Law" in his own way and re-summoning the four magic angels, these achievements can bring him to the highest [Crown] in the rank assessment of the Clock Tower, which can be said to be far beyond the achievements that Aozaki Touko once created.

However, those insignificant things have long been unimportant to Rowe. The Clock Tower's [Crown] is not the [Crown] chosen and bestowed by the Origin. Apart from the false name and the reputation value used to bargain on the table, it has no effect on magical attainments and progress in the magic path. Perhaps only Teacher Kenneth would be excited about reaching the crown.

A Holy Grail War, and after returning, the upgrading ceremony continues.

However, this time it is not as simple as being promoted to the [Classic Rank] or [Color Rank], but directly ascending to the [Crown Rank].

And unlike Orange, this is only because the highest rank in the Clock Tower is only [Crown], not because Rowe's achievements are only worthy of [Crown].

But compared to so many useless things, now——

"It's time to fulfill my last wish."

Standing on the top of Yuanzang Mountain, in front of the newly restored Liudong Temple, Luo Wei stared at Scathach, who was spinning the vermilion spear in her hand with an expectant look on her face, and showed a somewhat distressed smile.

I didn't expect that we would have to fight in the end...
