The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

What is waiting for everyone?

"What about other questions?" Kondo Isami couldn't help but ask.

"We'll talk later—"

Fujiwara Yuuka pulled the horse's rope.

"There will be a chance."

[Since you set out much earlier than the others, your progress is naturally the fastest.]

【A few days later, you arrived in Kyoto.】

【only--】

【The scene before us has completely exceeded your imagination.】

Somewhere on a hill outside Kyoto.

Ian looked at the scene at the foot of the mountain, and his expression became a little complicated.

The urban layout of Kyoto was now displayed in front of everyone.

but--

In the palace that has been passed down from the Heian period, cherry blossom trees have now grown that are almost covering the entire Kyoto.

The cherry blossom petals all over the sky are floating in the air, as if covering something.

"This……"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Souji Okita subconsciously grabbed Ian's hand.

This is what girls do when they feel uneasy.

"Why is there such a big cherry tree?"

"Is this normal?"

"That's why I'm worried that you will feel that way." Fujiwara Yuuka had parked her horse at some point and walked to the side of the crowd.

"It's precisely because of some horrible cherry blossom trees that have grown in Kyoto that I'm going to seek help from other places."

"This……"

While Okita Souji was still hesitating, Kondo Isami spoke again.

"But you didn't tell us what it would be like before you came - this seems to be different from what you said at the beginning!"

"..."

Fujiwara Yuuka did not answer Kondo Isami, but just smiled slightly and said.

"It seems that I overestimated you."

"That's all."

"Let me protect Kyoto alone."

Having said this, Fujiwara Yuuka walked alone towards the place where the cherry blossoms were coming from.

"you!"

Kiyono Hachiro glared at Kondo Isami fiercely, then quickly followed him.

Looking at this parting scene, Kondo Isami became a little nervous.

She just said what she was thinking directly, but she didn't expect the other party to leave so angrily.

"Toshizo, Okita, I..."

"fine."

Ian hugged Kondo Isami and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"What you said is also what we care about."

"Yes."

Then came Okita Souji's voice.

"General, you haven't mentioned this flower before—"

"That……!"

Feeling that his companions were completely on his side, Kondo Isami no longer felt so uncomfortable.

"Now is the time to..."

"Since we're here, we should at least go in and take a look."

Ian looked at Kyoto, which was almost covered by cherry blossoms.

"otherwise--"

"Wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"

[Although I felt that Fujiwara Yuuka's reaction was strange in many ways from the beginning.]

"But we have finally arrived in Kyoto—this is the place Ugly Gozen had told you about before."

【At least……】

【We need to find out what's going on, right?】

【You thought so, and then made up your mind.】

What you don’t know is that this will become one of the most consequential decisions you’ll ever make in your life.

All the way.

Ian and his group arrived at the city gate of Kyoto.

Taking out the letter previously prepared by Fujiwara Yuuka, the man planned to report the situation to the guard.

But to his surprise, there was no one guarding the city gate.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three of them looked at each other, completely confused as to why this was happening.

"Satoshi, this..." Okita Souji looked at Ian, waiting for his decision.

"..."

Glancing at the dark streets inside, Ian's expression became somewhat complicated.

His intuition told him that the current situation was strange.

There was no one guarding the city gate, and Fujiwara no Yuuka and Kiyono Hachiro, who had escaped earlier, were nowhere to be found.

Should I enter Kyoto?

At this moment, Ian suddenly felt his heart tremble.

Then, the man heard the voice from long ago.

"You came--"

"You are finally here——"

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, my husband."

Is that Ugly Gozen's voice?

Ian woke up and found that only Souji Okita and Isami Kondo were by his side.

"Sai San, what's wrong with you?"

Okita Souji, who was already a little worried, became even more worried when he saw his lover in such a state.

"nothing."

"I just heard Ugly Gozen's voice again..."

"what?!"

Kondo Isami pinched herself, and after confirming that she had heard correctly, she spoke again:

"Ugly Gozen, where is he?!"

"I don't know..."

Ian looked at the road leading into Kyoto City.

"But it seems to have come from here."

"..."

"..."

Kondo Isami and Okita Souji looked at each other and nodded.

"Since we know it came out from inside, we must go in, right?"

"Xiaoyong is right——"

"Um……"

With the support of the two, Ian did not hesitate any longer, but took them into Kyoto City.

only--

The moment the three people's bodies completely entered the city of Kyoto.

creak-

creak-

The thick city gate began to move on the ground.

Boom!

It's closed!

881. Living Sakura City Kyoto / Duel with Kyoto! (4k)

Boom!

The gates of Kyoto closed together with a loud noise and raised a cloud of dust.

The cherry blossoms that were originally flying in the air were also affected and began to flee in all directions.

But not long after, they returned to their original flying direction, like a well-operated machine.

but……

None of the three noticed this because all their attention was drawn to the city gate that suddenly closed.

"..."

"How could this happen?" Kondo Isami looked at his completely cut-off retreat route, and his hand couldn't help but stop on the scabbard at his waist.

She had never expected that the city gate, which was open just now, would be completely closed the moment the three people came in.

"..."

Unlike Kondo Isami's reaction, the moment the city gate closed, Ian rushed back to it.

"Okita, Xiaoyong, come and help!"

The two people whose names were called naturally understood what Ian wanted to do - that was to try to see if there was a way to successfully open the city gate again.

However, although Ian's reaction speed was already very fast, the three people still couldn't open the city gate in front of them.

It was like a closed mouth, completely blocking the three people's retreat route, and no matter how hard they tried, there was no way to open it again.

"hateful!"

Kondo Isami slammed the door and said unhappily.

"What the hell is going on?! You didn't say that before, did you?!"
