The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"..."

After hearing this, Ian began to have a bad feeling in his heart.

He had no doubt that Abigail would actually repay the "mother" she mentioned.

But the problem is-

What exactly is the form of "repaying a favor"?

In order to make Fujiwara Yuuka a "friend", she can make her become crazy enough.

"So where is she, Abigail."

"Did you say 'Mom'?" Abigail paused and looked at Ian.

"Correct."

Ian nodded.

"It's 'Mom'—since you're here to fulfill her wish, where is she?"

"You...should know, right?"

Although he was mentally prepared, Ian still felt shocked when Abigail pointed her finger at a certain location.

because--

She wasn't referring to anywhere else.

It was the cherry tree not far away that was still alive.

"If 'Mom' wants to see those things—"

"You have to be with the tree."

884. The Sleeping Minamoto no Raikou and the Holy Grail/Abigail's Guidance (4k)

"..."

"Wha, what?"

Looking at the still moving "trees", Ian could hardly believe what he heard.

"Abigail, are you... serious?"

"Of course I'm serious—"

"If you want to return to that era full of 'mysteries', you must first become a part of that 'mystery'."

Abigail tilted her head slightly.

"Is this kind of thing difficult to understand?"

"..."

"That's not what I meant..." Looking at Abigail's serious expression, Ian found that he couldn't say anything too harsh.

She was really telling herself something.

only……

Such a result is slightly beyond what is acceptable to "human beings".

"Then what do you mean?"

Abigail came bouncing back to Ian.

Those blue eyes just widened and stared straight at the man in front of him.

"Tell me—"

"..."

If it was terrifying when he first met Abigail, then now when Ian looked at her, she only felt like the girl next door.

But men know.

This may also be one of the illusions -

It was just like the madness that Fujiwara Yuuka had thrown her life into.

"I'm... just curious about how you managed to do all this."

"If you can, could you tell me how you did it?"

Ian thought that his idea would be rejected by Abigail without hesitation.

But the next moment, he heard an answer that he had never expected.

"OK--"

"If you want!"

Abigail said this as she made way.

As she did this, a cherry blossom tree also appeared with its "mouth" "opened".

Cherry blossoms fell all over the sky, and Abigail's voice rang out.

"You can come in anytime—"

"I have no objection."

"..."

This is an answer you never expected.

You never thought that Abigail would be so proactive in inviting you into the "root cause" of all this—as if it had nothing to do with her.

【And I don’t know why. 】

[You feel that as long as you can get in, the truth of the matter will be completely revealed to you.]

【What exactly is the origin of Ugly Gozen's invitation to you?】

【Thinking of this, your determination becomes much stronger than ever before.】

“Big Brother—?”

Abigail's voice rang out again.

"What...do you want?"

"It's just a simple matter of whether to go in or not, do you have to think about it for so long?"

"Forget it!"

Abigail spread her hands.

"Since you don't think it's necessary to go in, then let's stop here."

Having said that, the little Loli began to wave her arms, as if she was giving some instructions.

As she moved, the opening gradually closed.

The channels between the inside and outside are disappearing bit by bit.

And at the last moment before closing——

"Wait a moment!"

Ian stopped Abigail.

"I want to go in—please, Abigail!"

"It would have been better if it had been like this earlier!"

"Really? If I hesitate, I'll seem useless." The little girl complained, but her hands moved much faster than before.

Not long after, the passage that had been closed was opened again.

"Come on, big brother——"

Abigail said as she walked inside.

"I'll lead the way for you!"

"..."

Although he felt that something was wrong in every sense, Ian finally nodded and followed Abigail.

puff-

puff-

puff-

This is the sound Ian has heard most since he came in.

That was also the sound he heard through the ground when he was outside, like a beating heart.

"It's very uncomfortable, right?"

Abigail, who was walking in front, said this, then came to her senses and looked at him who was following behind her.

"Plop, plop, plop, it's so noisy!"

"..."

Faced with Abigail's words, Ian didn't know how to respond for a moment.

However, he knew that if he left Abigail alone, she might be unhappy.

"It's true, a little bit—but it's not completely unacceptable."

"Oh!"

Ian's answer seemed to give Abigail a surprise. The little girl quickly waved her sleeves and started talking in a jumping manner.

"I thought anyone who came in would be doomed!"

"What... do you mean?"

"Hehe~On the surface."

Abigail smiled sweetly.

"Because big brother is the first one to come here!"

"..."

Ian could accurately say that his heart did stop for a moment when he heard Abigail's words.

Because the other person's words are equivalent to saying one thing - "You are my knife tester."

Ok.

This is the only identity that can be used to describe Ian.

"Hehe~ Then you can invite others in from now on!"

"..."

"You..." Ian looked at Abigail in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Why are you so friendly to me?"

"Don't you think I'm the one who killed your friend?"

Ian actually didn't want to ask this question.

But he also felt that Abigail in front of him was a very special person.

She is not a child of Kyoto itself—

It was because the "mother" she mentioned wanted to see someone that she appeared here in a way that almost destroyed the entire Kyoto.

Everything that should have been established in this country was meaningless to her.

Only "friends" are worth caring about.

So--

Since she thinks Fujiwara Yuuka is her friend, shouldn't she be suspicious of herself appearing in front of her like this?

Ian's problem seems complicated, but it is actually very simple.
