When Shirou sent Mina to the place where she stayed, it was already pitch black outside, and the flickering streetlights and dim starlight intertwined, adding a few dots of light to the dark space. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Finally met her loved ones, and Mina, who endured the Holy Grail War alone, slept peacefully. Embraced by Shirou's strong arms, he fell into a deep sleep. Shirou put her on the bed.

Although the two are blood relatives, Mina is also a high school student now, so naturally, she should also be avoided. Casually dragging the quilt onto her, looking at the long silky blonde hair, Shirou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't worry, how to report to Tosaka.

You know, that person, although he remains calm on the surface, with the noble and elegant temperament of a demon family, but he is more flustered than anyone else, and after Mina left, she was the most chaotic. I can make seventeen or eighteen phone calls to myself in a day, just to urge myself to set off to find Mina quickly.

Rin is bound by a curse called Tosaka and is unable to leave Fuyuki. Although she is nominally a free body, in reality, she is similar to the designated seal.

How many people are eyeing such a big banner of the Tosaka family, as long as she makes a slight move, the magician's world will use this as a reason to divide factions, stand in teams, and then start a battle......

The previous Tosaka would definitely not care.

The eldest lady, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, united with her teacher, Ermelo II, and forcibly disintegrated the core of the Holy Grail War, the Great Holy Grail...... This is a big event that has caused a sensation in the magic world, and Rin Tosaka has also jumped from [a monkey from the Far East who can play magic] to a [witch], and is awe-inspired.

If that witch Rin Tosaka was going to be there, she would definitely rush here to save her granddaughter regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one......

However, now she is no longer the high-spirited little girl she was back then.

Now she is the patriarch of the Tosaka clan of the Demon Dao family, Rin Tosaka.

She can do whatever she wants, and the big deal is to run away while fighting. But what about the Tosaka family? What about their great foundation and such a good spiritual vein as big as Fuyuki? What about her daughter and son-in-law? What about her granddaughter and future grandson-in-law? And later, what about the next generation of the Tosaka family?

Any family has similar hardships and has to make compromises in order to continue their family. So Rin Tosaka never behaved so irrationally again, and as the manager of Fuyuki, it was natural for him to stay in Fuyuki and not take a step out of here.

So...... Shirou will come over. Although, for something, he came a little late.

Before leaving, he went to the clock tower and visited Rin Tosaka's teacher, Ermelo II.

The middle-aged man, who was revered as Lord Ermelo, had grown old enough at some point, far older than Shirou, with white hair, loose skin, and thick dark circles on his eyes, and at a glance, he knew that he was not in a very good state of rest.

The old man's disciples were widely distributed, and it is no exaggeration to say that even after he disintegrated the Holy Grail and began to be ostracized in the magic world, his disciples were only a lot more. This person's magic attainments are not high, however, he has a fairly good ability to distinguish various magic talents.

For example, the average family of magicians is a potter who can make excellent crafts (their descendants). Ermelo II, on the other hand, was a connoisseur, with a discerning eye that always had an unmistakable eye for the strengths, weaknesses, uses, values, and future improvements of the work...... This breadth of knowledge and his reliable conversation made him a big star in the clock tower.

Before Shirou left, he went to visit the old man.

He was in good shape, and looking at Shirou, he explained something to him in smooth and unredundant words.

For example, the matter of Eberner.

"That's the closest thing to me among my students. When you get to Shallow Creek, just call this number and he will help you. ”

The old man's teachings were still lingering in his ears, and Shirou quickly took out his mobile phone, ready to report Tosaka's safety, and then went to contact Abner by the way.

However......

"Is it broken?"

Shirou smiled bitterly and looked at the ultra-thin card machine in his hand that had already broken into a ball of waste paper, probably during the battle, he was accidentally wiped by the lancer, right?

Shirou couldn't remember what had broken it.

"Well, it's not too important, let's buy a new one tomorrow and get in touch. Use the Demon ...... first That one...... What do you use it for......?

A person was talking to himself, and Shirou had a subtle expression on his face. If Rin Tosaka was here, he would have beaten him on the head in anger, right? Shouting, "You stupid, how many times have I taught you!"

Then he would clasp his hands to his chest, revealing an unstoppable arrogance, oh hehe smiled: "But it's not necessarily that you're so stupid, it's actually Miss Ben who is too talented!" or something like that, right?

Suddenly thinking of the situation when he was young, Shirou couldn't help but snort, and the slight sound caused Mina to turn sideways, but she didn't wake up, and she continued to fall asleep.

Looking at his granddaughter's peaceful sleeping face, Shirou was reluctant to leave her now.

Throwing the crumbled card and phone into the garbage box, he continued to fumble in the red suit, for fear that something else would be destroyed.

Thankfully, my fingers confirmed the sturdiness between the fabrics.

It was a boxy iron box, about the size of an ordinary workbook. Before coming, Ermelo II repeatedly ordered Shirou to take care of it.

"After contacting Abner, give it to him, he knows what to do. This Holy Grail War...... It's fiction. is meaningless. So, it's unconventional and doesn't make sense. Since it doesn't make sense......"

The old man said this, and the eyes behind the glasses radiated a sharp light, which was a sharp gaze that saw through the appearance, went straight to the root, and hit the nail on the head.

“…… We can create something out of nothing. This, along with you, will be the most crucial victory in this Holy Grail War......"

Ermelo II's words made Shirou feel a heavy feeling in his heart.

Find the guy named Abner and give this to him.

"One last thing. ”

In a heavy tone, Ermelo II, before Shirou departed, said this to him.

"Tell Abner that if this so-called Holy Grail War really goes to the final decisive battle, then the decisive place will not be Qianxi, but Beijing. ”

I don't know if it's because I can't trust myself or because I can't trust myself, or because of the reserved nature of the elderly, Ermelo II didn't make it too clear. Shirou didn't ask much.

Before leaving for China, he stopped by to visit somewhere on the outskirts of the city.

On the green grass, the fresh smell makes Shirou feel like a world away.

Legend has it that a certain knight slept with it.

Of course, it's just a legend.

It is often not the grave that people mourn, but the faith. Compared with "whether she is sleeping here", "I am for her who is sleeping here" is more important.

Unconsciously...... It's been 50 years......

The voice and smile of a certain blonde knight were still deeply imprinted in Shirou's mind, without the slightest blur.

Once, in the Holy Grail War, he had a deep bond with himself, a certain knight king.

In that year, the two joined forces to destroy the Holy Grail that appeared in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Now, Shirou asks his former partner to give him a selfless blessing in order to put an end to the Holy Grail War once and for all.

“saber……”

He whispered the name.

In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Bu hid in the outhouse.

In a quiet space, no one could hear the sound.

――――――――――――――

On the outskirts of London, in Ermelo II's exclusive magic workshop, Ermelo II slowly opened his eyes.

It was the first time in two weeks that he had finally tasted a restful night's sleep again.

Because of his stupid student, he enthusiastically reported to himself a lot of information about the Holy Grail War, although Ermelo II didn't want to pay attention, but he still discovered the truth of the Holy Grail War from Abner's words.

In terms of appreciation, Ermelo II had far less insight than others, even if he was not in the Holy Grail War, even if he did not personally see those oversized heroic spirits, he still had a keen eye on what the counterfeit in the name of the Holy Grail War was.

So...... He's so tired......

“rider…… I'm sorry...... I...... I'm too old......"

He reached out and pointed at the glare electric light on the roof.

If not......

He must have thrown himself into the Holy Grail War without hesitation.

20 years younger. No, as long as you are 10 years old......

The magician named Ermelo II, in order to make himself independent, trained his magic circuit too strictly. As a result, in old age, the wounds accumulated in youth erupted together, completely engulfing this rickety old man.

He could no longer afford such a heavy battle.

"Really...... Like, I'll see you one last time...... rider…… Please...... Take me with you...... Let me see the view of the endless sea......"

There was a whimper in his voice.

His time was running out.

This is probably the last time he can get on the galloping ox cart, see the high-spirited king again, show off his achievements in the game to him in a funny tone, and then calmly say to him that he hasn't seen him for a long time.

This is, Ermelo II...... Webb Velvet has his last chance in life.

60 years, how many 60 years can a person have in his life?

"But...... rider, I've ...... I entrusted someone you can trust. If, it's the young man...... It must be fine. In the Fifth Holy Grail War, he won to the end, defeated the Holy Grail, and did what we failed to do. Let's believe the knight king. If it was the legendary holy sword, coupled with the magical support of Abner, plus the faith of Emiya Shirou...... It must be fine. ”

His voice was choked and chopped, and his sentences began to fall apart.

The excessive fatigue for days made his body deteriorate to an extreme. In order to exploit the only loophole in this Holy Grail War, he desperately researched it, and finally, completed something.

That is the most critical weapon that can guide the Holy Grail War to victory.

Servant's Spiritual Base.

Just use this...... It must be fine.

Fill in the vacant seventh Immortal.

“rider…… rider……”

His slight murmur gradually deepened, and in his personal workshop, completely disappeared.
