"In short, your teacher, fellow apprentice, and your adopted daughter are all very worried about your situation. But they're all fine now. They're all staying in a hotel in Guanbuzi City, waiting for you to come back and report your safety."
"That's it..."
Hearing that Weber, Kenneth, and Sakura were all safe, the heavy stone that had been weighing on Luo Wei's heart finally fell, and a hint of relief visibly flashed across his expression.
He couldn't help but feel emotional.
As long as everyone is okay, that's enough.
He really likes the result so far.
Sakura has found her own life, destined for a happy future. Will she inherit his legacy? No, she's probably going to be captured by Kenneth and take over as El-Melloi's...
Well, that's fine.
As long as she is still his family, it doesn't matter what magic system it is. After all, Luo Wei didn't intend to teach the somewhat crazy thing "Book of Law". If he taught her himself, it would probably be just alchemy and gold system magic. It would be more suitable for her to learn basic magic, moon spirit marrow fluid, and gem magic from Teacher Kenneth first.
Now, even Teacher Kenneth has survived. With his talent and abilities, he's bound to become a champion in the future. El-Melloi School will become even stronger because Teacher Kenneth is still alive and reaping the rewards. The Minerals Department in this worldline won't be taken away. Instead, other departments will have to be wary of Teacher Kenneth's abundant harvest.
Weber...
He'd grown considerably, not only from Iskandar's guidance, but also from his reconciliation and understanding with his past and with Teacher Kenneth. After returning, countless hours of overtime were inevitable. While he wasn't guaranteed to become El-Melloi II, training as an assistant and instructor was a given, and he would undoubtedly be the future instructor who inherited the classroom.
As for...Aozaki Touko.
She gained a lot, including important information on the third level of magic, further progress in the soul field, and multiple original runes to replace the incomplete versions of runes she had revived. It can be said that her strength and attainments in magic have improved by leaps and bounds. Even the things that she had been unable to obtain before now have new clues and understandings in her hands.
Everyone I cherish truly has a bright future...
"Stupid, don't move."
Just when Luo Wei was exhausted from being disturbed by a nightmare and was about to take a nap next to the floor of Liudong Temple, he suddenly felt his head lighten, as if it was lifted up by something.
Hearing the laughter and scolding, he slowly opened his eyes again. What came into view was the blue sky and Orange's smiling face, which was covered with dust because he had hurried over and climbed the mountain all the way.
"What's wrong?"
He was about to speak when he felt something soft like a cushion on the back of his head.
"How about this? Does it make you feel better now?"
Aozaki Orange smiled.
"Well, it's much more comfortable. As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the soft lap of a top puppeteer. I'm really flattered."
Luo Wei closed his eyes again, a smile on his face.
He is very tired now, really tired...
It was a three-day hellish experience. First he went to the so-called King's Banquet, then he tried to intercept Kotomine Risei's Command Seals, completed his final ceremonial attire, fought with Gilgamesh for a whole day and night, purified Angra Mainyu, and said goodbye to his master. He finally got a break, but that pervert Meli almost molested him in his dream. Only now did he get a real rest.
Even if Avalon can recover from his injuries and cleanse the curse, the mental fatigue is not easy to eliminate.
Rather than any healing magic, what Luo Wei wants most now is to have a good sleep and say goodbye to his old friends from this Holy Grail War after waking up.
"I'll make an exception today and let you lie down for once. After all, you're visibly exhausted. Looking so tired, it's hard for me to compare you to the high-spirited magician who faced the Ancient King head-on at the beginning." Aozaki Touko smiled brightly. "Don't worry about others disturbing you. I'll sit here and stay by your side until you wake up. This is my small reward for you."
"Well, I'm really tired now. This new body was rushed out when we were working together in Fuyuki City. Some parts were not fully adjusted before being used, so there are some inconsistencies. However, it is sufficient as a temporary body."
"Body-changing magic..."
Luo Wei was about to speak when he was interrupted by Aozaki Touko who covered his mouth.
"Have a good rest. I refuse to discuss philosophical topics with you." Aozaki Touko had already guessed what Luo Wei wanted to ask.
"You just need to know that no matter how I change, I am still Aozaki Touko. To you, I will always be a friend. That's enough."
"Forever friends...that's really too reliable."
"Hmm, who do you think I am? Compared to those weirdos in your El-Melloi, I am the most reliable." Aozaki Touko tilted her head with a smile, then bent down and looked at Rowe's face seriously, stretched out her white palm, and soothed his eyes.
"Sleep well...and stop talking."
"Ah."
Luo Wei nodded, "Well then, good night, Senior Orange."
"Goodnight, Crowley-kun."
……
……
The day after the Holy Grail War ended.
The whole city woke up in a trance from the nightmare that lasted for several days.
The dead woke up again, and the broken city was restored to its original appearance because of the power of the Heavenly Grail. The miracles emitted by the Heavenly Grail wiped out all the sorrow.
This also includes the traces left by those Servants who quietly came to this world.
Except for those who have personally experienced it, or have outstanding magical powers, or have special beings with certain magical powers, the rest of the ordinary people have had their memories and impressions of this Holy Grail War erased.
Because he let go of his obsession, or perhaps because he didn't know what kind of mood he should be in when facing Matou Kariya, Tōsaka Tokiomi took his wife and daughter on a trip abroad after returning home. He put the Tōsaka family's company into internal trusteeship, and handed the management of the venues in Fuyuki City to his old friend Kotomine Risho. He began to enjoy his wonderful vacation and began to fulfill his promise to bring happiness to Aoi and Rin.
As for Matou Kariya, his plan was even more exaggerated. After seeing that the house had been restored, he simply called his brother Matou Tsuruno, who had always been unwelcome and suffered from the bullying and oppression of Matou Zouken, to start their plan together. The two first built a tombstone for Matou Zouken in the backyard, and then drank happily in front of his tombstone, celebrating the death of the old insect together. After that, after dividing the family property in peace, the two used a bucket of gasoline and set fire to the Matou family's insect nest, along with the valuable magic inheritance, and even the tombstone of the old insect in the backyard. Afterwards, because they were worried that the damn insect would come back to life, they specially invited a master from the temple to start building a temple on the ruins of their house to pray for the old insect's soul.
This series of actions can be said to have made Matou Zangyan, who is in the netherworld, "filial" to death.
At this point, the Matou family, a magic family in the Far East, was completely wiped out from this world.
After going through many things, Kotomine Kirei was truly redeemed and figured everything out. After undergoing surgery to remove the Origin Bullet and stop the bleeding, he personally confessed his life's sins to his father and told him about his next plans. Then he was discharged from the hospital alone, ready to do what he had planned.
However, this time, he was no longer alone, but was accompanied by a little boy with red hair, Fujimaru Shirou.
He had made a pact with the righteous young man who had saved his life, declaring that he would repay this debt of redemption. When Fujimaru Shirou had the time, was ready to become a partner of justice, and resolved to explore another world, he could find him near the Forest Church in Fuyuki City. He would teach him everything he knew, repaying his kindness and grace, and leaving behind a legacy of his own in this world.
Kotomine Kirei had originally intended to personally go to Tōsaka Tokiomi's house to apologize again, but when he woke up, the family had already left. The words on the door were a letter severing ties, which was left for him. Another letter, the contents of which were unknown, was addressed to Matou Kariya. However, Matou Kariya had burned down the Matou family's house and taken some money before leaving Fuyuki City. It was said that he went to Misaki City, planning to start a new life as a journalist. So in the end, he could only return empty-handed and boarded a plane to Europe, searching for his daughter, Kallen, after so many years, to bring her to his side to make up for the fatherly love he had once lacked and the mistakes he had made.
The clergyman went from being confused to falling into depravity, and finally being reborn and liberated from the mire. He has completed his own gradual process.
At this moment, Kotomine Kirei had never felt so good.
As for covering the tracks...
Although it had been concealed from ordinary people, the Clock Tower, the Holy Church, and even the Spiral Pavilion were still alarmed. Soon, each organization sent representatives to check what was happening here.
Because Tōsaka Tokiomi went abroad, Kotomine Kirei also went to Europe. At this moment, Kotomine Kirei, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was looking at the mountain of letters on the table. For a moment, his aging heart suddenly felt a myocardial infarction.
He even suddenly felt that it would be better for him not to wake up. It would be better to stay in a coma in the hospital until everything was over.
Although he felt this way, when Kotomine Riseng walked out of the study and saw that Fuyuki City was still intact and only a small number of extremely vicious and irredeemable dangerous elements died in such a great catastrophe, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked down at his severed arm. The image of the mysterious young man and the archangel from a few nights ago still appeared before his eyes.
"He is like a man and a woman, like an adult and a child, like a saint and a sinner, like an angel and a devil, so what kind of existence is this?"
Yanfeng Li was muttering to himself, then he stroked his empty right arm, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face.
"The Archangel, the Holy Grail War, and an unpredictable young man. This world has truly changed."
"Forget it... Since even Tōsaka Tokiomi has resolved his issues, why should I hesitate?"
Thinking of this, Yan Fengli shook his head gently. At this moment, his heart was particularly peaceful.
Anger at the broken arm? Hatred at the seizure of the Command Seal? No, none of that. These complex emotions were gone...
Let's leave these matters to the bigwigs of the Burial Agency. Not long ago, Kotomine Risei had already written a letter and sent it to the church headquarters. As for him...
Because he has to resign from his position due to this dereliction of duty, in the days to come, watching his son and granddaughter grow up happily and inheriting this position can be regarded as a kind of family happiness and also a redemption for him.
As for the arm problem?
He is not planning to undergo any transformation or get a prosthetic hand. He can just take this as a warning for his mistakes.
Anyway...
Looking back at the huge cross hanging on the wall, Kotomine Kirei slowly knelt down and confessed softly.
"Thank you, merciful Lord, for giving us lost lambs and sinners salvation and happiness. May your love forever protect the entire world..."
"——Amen."
As the prayer ended, there was a sudden knock on the door.
They were a group of anxious people, each with their own confusion on their faces. They were all believers who had had the same dream of death and were therefore terrified, so they came here to seek the priest's guidance.
Seeing this, Yanfeng Lizheng slowly stood up, with a smile on his face, and went out to greet the believers who came today, earnestly spreading the glory of the Lord.
"welcome everybody."
The old priest said with a smile.
Everything was as usual, and peace was restored.
……
……
Soon after.
"Hiss... Where's that huge magic furnace? How did it suddenly disappear?"
On the upper floor of the Hyatt Hotel, Luo Wei looked thoughtfully at the big hole left in the room where the magic furnace was originally placed, his expression lost in thought.
Sure enough...is it still lost?
Everything had been restored, except for the supreme ceremonial suit from the El-Melloi School, which had disappeared. The other two were still there.
"How come a stove suddenly disappeared?!"
On the other side, Aozaki Touko, who was drooling while holding one of the magic furnaces in an unruly manner, was also confused when she saw the big pit in the center. She began to look around vigilantly.
Because everything destroyed in the Holy Grail War had been restored, the barrier Kayneth had set up still existed. However, even though there was no sign of anyone entering the room, one of the magic furnaces had disappeared, leaving her feeling incredibly surprised and baffled.
In this situation, there are only two special possibilities. The first is that someone is able to hide from Kenneth's barrier and the perception of ancient heroes such as Finn, Scathach, and Iskandar, and hide in their magic workshops in advance, but no one has noticed it.
The second possibility is that the magic furnace and long legs escaped from the workshop.
No matter how you look at it, both options are ridiculous. She has no idea how the magic furnace disappeared. And even if there was a thief, he would definitely steal three at once. Why only one?
However, compared to Aozaki Touko's puzzled look, Luo Wei had a vague understanding of the situation.
He bent down to check the traces on the ground, as well as the magical aura. It was indeed only the magic power of the magic furnace, and no one else had been there, so...
Is he still running away?
In the original development, it was because of the explosion of Kiritsugu Emiya's high-rise building, the magic furnace was blown into pieces, and the core of the furnace caused the magic to go out of control, which led to a series of chain reactions.
However, this time, before the high-rise building exploded, Iskandar used a barrier to defend it and transferred the furnace to the King's Army, so...
What was the trigger this time?
After thinking carefully for a moment, Luo Wei seemed to have come up with an answer.
“It’s the star that opened up the world and the universe, created by Gilgamesh…”
"This time, it was his Noble Phantasm that replaced Emiya Kiritsugu's original bombing, destroying the magic reactor and triggering a rampage. So, the world line converged again, giving birth to that special being again?"
"Because she's neither human nor a building, and still a being in the Holy Grail War, the Heavenly Grail's restoration didn't affect her, but rather the other two, which is why the items are missing..."
Unlike Aozaki Touko who was clueless and looked bewildered, Luo Wei had a vague memory of the whereabouts of that thing.
However, that was a film set a long, long time later, specifically after the Fifth War, and the stage was also the Holy Grail War, but the scene of that Holy Grail War was much larger than any previous one, which is the so-called Divine Cup.
Even the strongest Hero King Gilgamesh couldn't be called the strongest Heroic Spirit in that war. There were many Servants stronger than him or of the same level, which shows how deep the water is. And the lost furnace will also go there and become one of the masters.
So this is indeed the conclusion of the world line. Even if there is no Kiritsugu Emiya and many subsequent situations, that thing is still born.
Is this a matter of causality? Or is it Alaya or Gaia who is causing trouble?
"Hmm...you don't seem surprised by this situation?"
Noticing Luo Wei's calmness at the moment, Aozaki Touko was a little puzzled, and she asked curiously.
"Do you already know where the magic furnace is?"
"Well, I think I understand."
"What's going on? Tell me quickly."
Aozaki Touko asked further questions, she was particularly curious about the disappearance of the magic furnace.
"Um……"
Luo Wei gathered his thoughts and concluded with a very concise sentence: "The magic furnace has become a spirit."
