Crossover Anime: I, Shirou Kotomine, King of Uruk

Chapter 255 The Target: The Pinnacle of the Grand Magic Games

The development of time and space abilities was part of Shirou Kotomine's plan from the very beginning.

Especially after completing the Dragon Slayer Magic of the World, Shirou Kotomine, who has nurtured a world within his body, experiences the mysteries of time and space every moment.

In addition, there is the knowledge of time and space gained from my previous travels through the world.

Over the past seven years, Shirou Kotomine has continuously improved his expertise in time and space.

During these seven years, Shirou Kotomine has improved his abilities in terms of time and space, and has also created many items related to these two aspects.

"And the Future" is one of the works in this series.

The magic of time is engraved in this bracelet named "Future".

Once this time magic is activated, the caster will be in the future, at which point the future caster will overwrite the present caster until the caster's magic power is exhausted.

This magic was created by Shirou Kotomine using Aoko Aozaki's abilities as a template.

However, in terms of its presentation, it is more like the Ten-Year Rocket Launcher from "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!".

Of course, if Shirou Kotomine were to activate this ability himself, it wouldn't be fixed at the ten-year mark, but it can only be engraved on magical items at a fixed time.

So Shirou Kotomine chose ten years.

Ten years is a long time for someone who works hard to cultivate themselves to complete a transformation.

Shirou Kotomine felt that this was a good time.

However, Louis never used this magical item after creating it, or rather, he never used it successfully.

It was only when testing the bracelet that Shirou Kotomine realized the mistake he had made.

Ten years is indeed a time when a person can undergo a complete transformation.

Ten years later, Shirou Kotomine has reached a point where even time magic cannot interfere with him.

Or rather, with his current magical power, he simply cannot bring himself from ten years in the future to the present.

He's incredibly strong ten years from now.

After realizing this, Shirou Kotomine had no choice but to put the bracelet away.

Of course, although the termination of the experiment was somewhat frustrating, Kotomine Shirou was also very happy to learn that he would be so strong after the new year.

In short, there are gains and losses.

Actually, Shirou Kotomine could have given this bracelet to Lucy or Mirajane, but the bracelet was not easy to make, and the process and materials required a lot of effort.

Most importantly, there is only one.

How could he possibly give it to either Lucy or Mirajane under such circumstances?

So the bracelet was kept.

Now Wendy can use it.

And since she happens to be someone who lacks time, this bracelet is more important to her than anyone else in Fairy Tail.

"So you must use it well, Wendy!"

"I understand, Shirou-nii!"

Wendy made a firm promise.

Compared to before, Wendy is much more confident now.

What she lacked was precisely this self-confidence.

"Go! Reclaim Fairy Tail's title of strongest at the Grand Magic Games!"

Kotomine Shirou gently rubbed her head and gave her some instructions.

"I will definitely do my best!"

Goodbye, Shirou-nii-san!

After expressing her determination, Wendy left Shirou Kotomine's side.

Tomorrow is the day Fairy Tail departs for the royal capital, so she needs to make preparations tonight.

Why did she go to cultivate herself while everyone else was making preparations?

"It seems the Grand Magic Games are getting more and more exciting!"

Kotomine Shirou thought with a smile.

With Lucy and Wendy's epic power increases, even the Fairy Tail Team A, which is now on the surface, is brimming with fighting strength.

When Fairy Tail's B team, which has also undergone an epic upgrade, joins them, just how much of a commotion will these ten people cause in this Grand Magic Games?

"This is really something to look forward to!"

Kotomine Shirou couldn't help but smile.

"They took so long to get back!"

"Sorry, sorry!"

Just as Shirou Kotomine returned to his home in Magnolia, he heard Lucy urging him on.

Tomorrow is the day she departs as a member of the Fairy Tail team, and the three of them had previously agreed to give Lucy a proper celebration.

"Speaking of which, Shirou, you've been nowhere to be seen lately. Have you been off working on something in the lab?"

Upon hearing the commotion of Shirou Kotomine's return, Mirajane, who was setting the food on the table, asked in confusion.

Mirajane and Lucy both knew about the Louis Labs incident.

Kotomine Shirou had almost nothing to hide from them.

Of course, there are some secrets that Shirou Kotomine won't reveal unless they ask.

"I have been in the lab lately, but not doing research; I've been training Wendy."

Sitting at the table laden with delicious food, Shirou Kotomine explained with a smile.

He then told Mirajane and Lucy about Wendy's visit to him to resolve her troubles, guided by Ms. Poriuska.

"Oh, I see!" Lucy exclaimed in realization. "No wonder I haven't seen Wendy lately; she's been training with you, Shirou!"

"Wouldn't Wendy's strength increase significantly then?"

Mirajane, who had quickly filled the table with food with Lucy's help, asked curiously.

The two of them had a deep understanding of Shirou Kotomine's teaching abilities.

"Hehe, I'll definitely give you a surprise then."

Thinking of the magical item he gave Wendy, "Future," Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Wendy is only twelve years old now.

Ten years later, she was twenty-two years old.

For others, their future selves ten years from now might be one or two levels stronger than they are now, but that's not the case for Wendy.

She is still young and has not yet reached the stage of rapid development.

More importantly, the Wendy of a thousand years later is the Wendy who has experienced the Black Mage Zeref and the Black Dragon Acnologia, and even the Hundred-Year Quest.

That might be Wendy who truly possesses the power to slay dragons.

Although Wendy's magic couldn't sustain her future form for more than a few seconds, a few seconds was enough for a true powerhouse.

Bringing Wendila from back then to the Grand Magic Games now is clearly cheating.

Although her cheat code was given to her by Shirou Kotomine.

"Judging from your expression, has Wendy really increased in strength?"

Mirajane was suddenly somewhat surprised.

She trusted Shirou Kotomine's teaching abilities, but only when there was ample time.

And how long has Shirou Minato been teaching Wendy?

Can Wendy's abilities really be improved to a level that surprises them in such a short time?

Mirajane, who was unaware of the existence of "the future" and did not think of anything in the direction of magical items, became puzzled.

"I already said it was a surprise!"

Since it's a surprise, it should be announced at the appropriate time.

"We can talk about other things later. Now let's celebrate Lucy's appearance representing Fairy Tail!"

"oh!"

"Don't shout!"

Hearing Shirou Kotomine and Mirajane shouting, Lucy, feeling somewhat ashamed, quickly stopped them.

In fact, she originally did not want to hold this celebration.

But Shirou Kotomine insisted on doing it.

Despite her resistance to Shirou Futamine, Lucy ultimately had no choice but to submit to his control.

"Okay, okay, we won't shout."

Seeing Lucy looking so bullied, Shirou Kotomine and Mirajane couldn't help but laugh.

After a round of laughter, the three of them, including Shirou Kotomine, started eating, chatting, and playfully fighting.

Feeling this happiness, Shirou Kotomine had a smile on his face the whole time.

The house where Shirou Kotomine and his two companions live was recently purchased by Shirou Kotomine after he returned from his trip.

After all, the three of them are no longer in the same relationship as before.

New relationships naturally require new environments.

The reason why Shirou Kotomine didn't buy a house in Magnolia before was because he usually lived either in the guild or in the laboratory.

He lives alone, so he doesn't need to buy a house at all.

But after returning from his trip, Shirou Kotomine immediately bought a house.

After serving as chairman for six years, Kotomine Shirou is not short of money at all.

Of course, the fact that he is not short of money here does not mean that Shirou Kotomine, as the guild leader, is seriously corrupt.

It's because he's done almost all the S-rank missions in the guild over the past seven years, and the only other guild members besides him are the Servants. But the Servants don't need money, do they?

Isn't that all his money?

Of course, Shirou Kotomine didn't go that far.

He always gave the Servants a lot of money, after all, they also lived here.

Atalanta was one of the biggest spenders among them.

Because she opened an orphanage, and the money used to build the orphanage was all paid for by Shirou Kotomine.

In short, Shirou Kotomine has a lot of money, and its source is perfectly legitimate.

So, under his financial offensive, he quickly acquired a satisfactory villa in Magnolia.

Originally, Shirou Kotomine wanted to build a love nest here with Lucy and Mirajane.

However, Shirou Kotomine did not expect that Lucy and Mirajane would refuse to live with him because they were too thin-skinned, and the two of them continued to live in his old house.

So much so that even though Shirou Kotomine bought a new house, he was still all alone.

Let alone building a love nest together, the three of them haven't had a proper intimate conversation during this period.

After all, this is Magnolia, the city where Fairy Tail is located.

In this city, there are far too many people who know the three of them.

So here, Lucy and Mirajane must be constantly on guard to avoid being discovered.

This naturally led to this situation.

"Wait, we can't drink anymore. We're leaving for the capital tomorrow!"

After a round of celebration, Lucy, her face flushed from drinking, said with difficulty.

"And I should go home too."

"It's time to go home."

Mirajane, who had also drunk quite a bit, forced herself to sit up.

"Lisanna should still be waiting for me at home."

"Let's go back together, Lucy."

"OK."

Mirajane and Lucy slowly stood up, supporting each other.

Just then, Shirou Kotomine, still seated in his chair, asked with a smile, "Where are you going?"

"Going home?"

Lucy didn't quite understand what Shirou Kotomine meant by asking that question.

Mirajane, on the contrary, was startled.

"Go home! No one is allowed to leave today. This is your home!"

He swiftly shielded Mirajane, who was trying to escape, and then hugged Lucy. Shirou Kotomine picked them both up and carried them toward the room.

"Wait, Shirou! Lisanna's still waiting for me at home!"

"Don't worry, I already told Lisanna that you'd be staying at Lucy's tonight."

"But what if we go out together tomorrow and someone sees us?"

"Don't worry, I'll use spatial teleportation to send you both back tomorrow morning."

"So today's celebration was intentional on your part."

"Of course!"

Kotomine Shirou openly revealed his plan without any attempt to hide it.

Lucy and Mirajane are no longer in his grasp.

Tonight is destined to be a night to relive happy times.

Good morning, everyone!

"Good morning!"

Outside Magnolia Station, more and more members of Fairy Tail were arriving.

Today, the members of Fairy Tail will travel together to the royal capital.

Apart from the participating teams, the rest were all cheerleading squads.

"Sister, you're finally here! I was worried you'd overslept!"

Seeing that her sister Mirajane and Lucy had finally arrived together, Lisanna quickly went up to greet them.

"Sorry, I had a lot of fun with Lucy last night and went to bed very late."

Mirajane explained with a smile.

"Sister, you can't do this! Lucy is a contestant, how can you keep her up all night like this!"

Lisanna stood with her hands on her hips, pouting as she scolded her sister.

"It's okay, Lisanna. I was the one who kept Mira playing with me until late last night."

Lucy quickly stepped forward to cover for her.

She and Mirajane drank quite a bit last night, and then they exercised a lot and went to bed very late, which is why they woke up a little late this morning.

She was then transported to Lucy's apartment by Shirou Kotomine using teleportation magic.

The final tidying up took some more time.

"That's because your older sister didn't discipline you properly, Lucy."

Lisanna said angrily.

"Lisanna is right, we can't let the contestants down!"

Shirou Kotomine came over and smiled supportively at Lisanna.

Unlike Lucy and Mirajane, who were late, Shirou Kotomine arrived relatively early.

Because after he teleported Lucy and Mirajane to Lucy's house, he teleported directly to the station.

This saved a lot of time.

"Shut up!"

Lucy and Mirajane punched Shirou Kotomine together.

It's clearly all this guy's fault, yet he still dares to come here and show off, acting as a scapegoat.

Lucy and Mirajane immediately started punching and kicking him.

They only stopped what they were doing when Makarov's voice rang out.

"Everyone is here now, it's time for us to set off."

Standing outside the station, looking at the guild members in front of him, Makarov spoke earnestly to everyone.

"Seven years have passed since we were the strongest guild in Fiore, and we have become even stronger than we were seven years ago."

"But the title of the strongest that once belonged to us is gone, and our purpose in heading to the capital is to reclaim it!"

What belongs to us will eventually return to our hands.

"oh!"

Everyone shouted loudly.

Seeing that everyone's morale was high, Makarov shouted, "Let's go!"

"Objective: Victory at the Grand Magic Games!"
