The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"..."

Feeling the man's depth and straightforwardness, Minamoto no Raikou knew that he was not joking.

"But my husband...if we separate again this time, when will we meet again?"

"Have you ever thought about that?"

"I didn't think about it."

"but--"

The man's eyes became firm.

He pulled her up little by little while she lay in front of him, and then continued until she was leaning against the tree:

"I will definitely find you."

"No matter how long it takes, I will find you!"

"Yakou, trust me!"

"..."

Minamoto no Raikou's breath gradually became warm, as if it would burn in the next moment.

"Husband, are you serious? You... won't lie to me, right?"

"of course not."

"I……"

Ian's hand held Minamoto no Raikou's hand.

"I will definitely find you."

"..."

Gulu gulu——

Minamoto no Yorimitsu raised his head.

The Holy Grail, which had just dimmed for a short while, began to shine again and went straight into the sky.

"See you next time, my husband."

Boom boom boom.

The ground in Kyoto began to shake, and the tentacles that emerged seemed to sense something and began to shrink back to their original positions.

The scattered cherry blossoms also began to return to the branches where they fell.

The dark sky gradually became clear.

only--

There will be no other voices on the land of Kyoto.

There was a pop.

Ian fell to the ground.

He could feel that the moment the Holy Grail "disappeared", his body also became strange.

"Arnold——"

Abigail's voice rang out.

The little girl just looked at Ian with curiosity, as if she had no idea what was going on.

But her words quickly proved that this was only superficial.

"'Mom', you persuaded me to leave."

"..."

"You knew this was going to happen, didn't you, Abigail?"

Ian looked up at the little loli in front of him and asked.

"Otherwise...how would you know I could handle this kind of thing?"

"Because big brother smells like 'Mom'—"

"If that's the case, then you're probably the only one who can make 'Mom' do something she wouldn't do before, right?"

"Now it looks like—"

Abigail smiled.

"I guessed right."

"..."

Ian also smiled bitterly.

Because at this moment, he already knew that Abigail in front of him did not do this out of malice or for fun.

But -

Simply wanting to help Minamoto no Raikou.

It's better to come here and let Kyoto be corrupted along with Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

She just wanted to give her such a chance.

"Thank you, Abigail."

"Eh?"

"Big brother actually chose to thank me?" Abigail looked very surprised. "I thought big brother would think I was a bad kid because of what I did."

"It's not your fault, Abigail."

Ian gasped for breath.

He could feel his breathing becoming more and more rapid, as if it would stop at any moment.

"It's not your fault—it's my fault for not realizing it."

"I didn't expect Raikou to be so persistent in wanting to see me... I was wrong."

"is it?"

Abigail reached out to Ian and gently wiped his forehead.

"Big Brother, you'd better stop talking. You...are about to disappear."

"..."

"Abigail." Ian looked at the little girl in front of him, "How are Okita and Xiaoyong?"

"..."

"You're about to disappear, yet you're still thinking about others?"

Abigail said this, but did not refuse to tell Ian the answer.

"He fainted—"

"That guy called Okita, even though his health was very poor, he still insisted on coming in to kill me."

"Many of my 'friends' were hacked to death by her."

"As for the other one, it seems he couldn't adapt to this environment and fainted for a long time."

"That means... they are not like me, right?" Ian asked.

"..."

"Big brother's questions are still so strange." Abigail frowned slightly, but nodded.

"However, it's definitely not as serious as my brother's condition."

"..."

Ian took a deep breath and gathered the last of his strength.

"Abigail, although you may not know this, I want to tell you... if it's my past self, it's actually related to the Holy Grail."

"is it?"

Abigail hugged her legs and sat directly in front of Ian.

"What do you want to do with this, big brother?"

"..."

Abigail's excessive straightforwardness made Ian feel a little uncomfortable to speak for a moment.

However, as if realizing that this was his last chance, he still said with all his might:

"Please help me with something."

"Let me take away Okita's suffering. You can do it, right?"

"She...shouldn't be tortured by a body like this."

It can create such a huge dream that it affects the entire Kyoto.

Ian knew that Abigail in front of him definitely had abilities beyond imagination.

Ian already knew about Souji Okita's situation.

She thought he knew nothing, but she didn't expect that he was actually the one who knew everything.

"..."

"It's okay, it's okay."

The keyhole above Abigail's head glowed faintly.

"But if big brother chooses to do this...it might have a huge impact later on."

"Well, apart from anything else, it will probably be excruciatingly painful when big brother leaves, right?"

"It doesn't matter——"

Ian took Abigail's hand.

"please."

"Okay~"

Abigail tilted her head slightly.

"Since Big Brother never refused my request, why don't you just agree to this reluctantly?"

"But... Big Brother, can you answer one more question for me?"

"what is the problem?"

"that is……"

Abigail held up two fingers and pointed them in front of Ian.

"You're the one who likes 'Mom', and you're also the one who likes 'Okita Souji' and 'Kondo Isami'."

"So--"

"Which one of you should I know?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment, then laughed.

"Any one is fine—because they are all me."

"Which one is you...?"

"yes--"

Ian nodded.

"I am who I am. I am who I am now. I was who I was before, and I will still be who I am in the future."

"So which one is me? Which one must be me."

"I don't understand..."
