In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

'Combining this ability with my 'simulation' is indeed feasible.'

There are about ten days left until the next simulation begins.

'This ability will surely be useful next time.'

Lu Kang silently sensed this, and while multitasking and talking with Jixiangyuan Qihuang, he also made this judgment.

Kichijou-in Kihara watched with a smile, and couldn't help but marvel once again at the terrifying power of Lu Kang's 'accumulated power over many lifetimes'.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, she had already confirmed that Lu Kang, Lu West, Victor, and Sugawara no Hajime—seemingly inheriting from each other, but essentially one.

Although she didn't say it directly, Lu Kang knew she understood this.

He did not deny it.

That's not necessary.

It's meaningless.

In any case, the 'demon bodhisattva' has already been subdued at his feet.

Anyway.

Even if Kichijoin Kihara told everyone, no one would believe her.

Whether it's the magician or the monsters in the church, they've always been arrogant—they only trust their own judgment, and even if 'Solomon' were reborn, it might not be enough to truly convince them.

During this period, Kichijoin Kihara never mentioned the 'conversion' of Rokukō again.

after this.

The night ends and the day dawns.

When Youzhu woke up from her nap and came down from the second floor with light steps, she saw Lu Kang sitting alone in front of the nearly burnt-out fireplace, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

The girl paused slightly.

Then, expressionless, he quietly stepped forward.

...

"Shh!"

"..."

Looking at the scene before her, Qingzi wondered if she was still half asleep.

Standing in the stairwell, she looked down at the scene in the lobby on the first floor. She saw Lu Kang sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, his face covered in paint, some blue and some black. In front of him, the Fairy Tale Witch put down her easel with a serious expression, her eyes full of satisfaction, as if she had completed an unprecedented painting.

The person who was once the target of pranks is now the one who pranks others.

Those who used to tease others are now the ones being teased.

Yuzhu held up one finger to Aoko, signaling her to be quiet.

She gazed at the sleeping Lu Kang.

And, quite unusually, he smiled.

Aoko scratched her head.

Lu Kang slept soundly, a rare occurrence for him.

Chapter 168 Next Stop: Fuyuki, Sugawara Gakuen

"Qingzi, autumn break is coming soon—do you have any plans?"

At Misaki City Private High School, as soon as get out of class ended, Kumari Kinshika approached Aoko, who was slumped over her desk, fast asleep.

Aoko groggily opened her eyes. She had undoubtedly stayed up all night again last night—but there was no way around it. Ever since she activated the mysterious system that enabled magic during her battle with Orange, she had to dedicate some time each night to practicing 'magic' in addition to learning basic mystical knowledge.

As a result, I haven't been getting enough sleep lately.

She almost wished she could use magic to get more sleep!

At that moment, she heard Jin Lu's voice. The first thing she did when her gaze returned was to look at the handsome foreign boy on the other side, who was chatting and bragging with his classmates. She couldn't help but click her tongue and think to herself, "Does Lu Kang have inexhaustible energy?"

You should know that Lu Kang has been basically not sleeping at night lately.

In comparison, although Yuzhu rarely experiences mental fatigue, she is at least physically very weak!

This is what a normal magician should look like, right?

"I'm asking you a question! Look over here, look over here! Stop staring at your 'foreign prince'!"

Seeing Qingzi's appearance, Jinlu was both speechless and amused. She waved her hand and finally drew Qingzi's attention to her petite and slender figure, which was unusually small for her age.

"What 'foreign prince'...?"

"That's the nickname Lu Kang got on the school forum." Jin Lu looked puzzled. "You're a forum administrator—how could you not know?"

Aoko really didn't know.

Even though the school forum is indeed managed by the student council, and Qingzi, as the president, is one of the top administrators, she hasn't been paying much attention to student council affairs lately, so how could she have time to focus on this?

But then again.

Lu Kang could not be considered her foreign prince—he should be the one with pearls, right?

Ever since that incident with the orange.

Aoko could also clearly see that Ayumi seemed to be looking at Lu Kang more often than before.

Something must have happened between them!

“But that’s not important.” Jin Lu quickly changed the subject: “You haven’t answered my question yet!”

"Oh...you mean fall break?"

Aoko thought for a moment.

Just as students in the Celestial Empire of this era had various student holidays due to the need for sufficient manpower during the harvest season in the agricultural era, the Yamato Kingdom also maintained the custom of having an autumn holiday.

Generally within one or two weeks.

This time it's a week.

Not too long, not too short, just enough for a short trip.

She said, "I already have a plan."

"Eh--?"

Jinlu was quite disappointed: "I was planning to stay overnight at your place!"

"I've never lived in such a big Western-style mansion before..."

"Ah... I'm so sorry!"

This was agreed upon beforehand.

As for Aoko, she had already informed Aoko as well.

But now, all she can do is apologize.

After all, they did have plans to go further.

It is Aozaki Aoko's final and last "graduation trip" as a "magician" and "magician".

...

However, this was actually their own decision.

Lu Kang hadn't initially planned to bring them along.

For him, this was not just 'autumn', but the next stop after leaving Misaki City.

Arrival and preparation in advance are necessary for the start of the Holy Grail War next year.

——Fuyuki City.

"Qingzi, have you bought the tickets?"

As Aoko and I stepped through the gates of the Kuonji mansion, a similarly faint sound echoed from the quiet hall.

Aoko was startled and looked at the girl's figure swaying incessantly from the chandelier hanging above. She couldn't help but ask, "Arisu, are you simulating hanging yourself?"

With a snap.

A pearl fell down: "It's just getting used to 'flying'."

Aoko was speechless for a moment, thinking to herself, "You really want to 'ascend to heaven'?"

Lu Kang, who was behind him, spoke up directly: "Flying isn't like that."

"I'll teach you. Go find a kite, tie yourself to it, and fly it. That's what makes it real."

What kind of crazy idea is this?

Aoko stared back.

"Yeah..."

Yu-chu looked deep in thought, seemingly genuinely considering the feasibility of this method.

Aoko finally couldn't help but say, "Don't actually believe that!"

These two guys are really something else – one dares to say it and the other dares to believe it!

“Actually, Kongming lanterns will also work,” Lu Kang added.

Yuzhu shook her head: "No."

"That's too bright; it'll cause eye problems."

Aozaki Aoko was completely speechless and could only pull out three train tickets from her pocket: "Alright, alright, stop thinking nonsense."

"I couldn't get plane tickets at all, I only bought three Shinkansen tickets, I'll just have to make do with them."

Yuzhu then stopped the discussion.

Lu Kang looked amused and exchanged a glance with the girl.

Aoko then realized that she might have been tricked.

So they're just putting on a comedy routine for themselves?

Aozaki Aoko felt like she was getting a little red.

"It's almost time."

Lu Kang decisively suppressed her with his words, leaving her unable to vent her frustrations and forced to hold them in—making her feel incredibly uncomfortable.

"But I still want to double-check."

Lu Kang asked, "Are you sure you want to come with me?"

"I'm not going on a trip; there's a high chance there will be 'battles'."

Even though there are still six months before the official Holy Grail War begins.

However, he wasn't going there for sightseeing—Lu Kang had his own needs for the Holy Grail, and having already made up his mind to try and save that tsundere lemon-headed guy, he naturally needed to do something.

In this process.

Battle may be unavoidable.

"So, this is the magic 'graduation trip,' isn't it?"

To this, Aoko swallowed her grumbling and spoke with utmost confidence.

Youzhu stared intently at Lu Kang in front of her.

He nodded calmly without the slightest hesitation.

She did not speak.

The meaning, however, is already self-evident...

"Want to help me?"

However, as a 'friend'.

More than anything, it's just that they don't want to part ways so soon.
