After playing there for about an hour, Gensou took Kato Megumi and said goodbye to everyone. After all, although the Sword of Truth does not have a set workday, it also does not have a set rest day. In order to fight against enemies with lingering evil intentions, swordsmen need time to improve their sword skills and abilities. So, the fun time should be enjoyed and not linger for too long.

"I never expected there to be a place like this."

Back at the office, Kato Megumi stared in disbelief at the closed door, finding it hard to believe that this was the place she had come from. She glanced at Gengo, who was eating potato chips from a torn bag, and said softly:

"If there are so many swordsmen, why is there only Kamen Rider Joker in Fuuto? Is it because there aren't enough people to go around?"

"You think that just because you went to the Sword of Truth, you're on my side?"

Yuanxiang calmly munched on his snacks, leaning against the table, and said softly with a hint of helplessness:

"This question is beyond the scope of the curriculum. Don't ask it. Just treat today's experience as a dream."

"......oh."

Seeing Kato Megumi quiet down, Gengo nodded in satisfaction. It was clear that although Sophia had a meeting with this guy that she was unaware of, the manager was still very firm about her views on the world. Kato Megumi seemed completely unaware that she had just been to another world, which was good, otherwise it would have been more troublesome to explain.

“Um, Mr. Gensato.”

Kato Megumi then looked at him cautiously and said:

"Will you erase my memories again this time?"

"It depends."

Gensato met his gaze without any attempt to hide his identity and answered:

“If I feel there’s a problem, I’ll delete all memories related to it. It’s not just you, it’s everyone else too. Ms. Kato Megumi, you should know that sometimes forgetting is a good thing. Maybe in the future, you’ll be spared by some unknown enemy because of this forgetting. As someone involved in the ‘wish’ incident, I think you should understand this deeply.”

"I understand."

Kato Megumi nodded obediently in agreement, but immediately raised her head and said softly:

"Then could you tell me...?"

"If it still involves Kamen Rider or the Sword of Truth, then there's no need to ask."

Yuanxiang crumpled the empty snack wrappers into a ball and threw them in the trash can, then picked up a can of peach juice, opened it, and said:

“I understand your seemingly reckless attitude, but in many things, you are ultimately an ‘outsider’.”

"I see....."

At this point, Kato Megumi was completely speechless. She watched Gengo busy himself with his things, as if she didn't exist in the room at all, as if she was the only one who felt the increasingly awkward and oppressive atmosphere in the room.

"Could you tell me about some places worth visiting in Fengdu? Like the popular ones right now?"

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Kato Megumi took out a map of Futo from her backpack and asked Gengo for it. Gengo immediately put down his newspaper, walked to Kato Megumi's side, took the girl's pen with his left hand, and began to talk about the places worth visiting in Futo, starting from Futo Tower.

Time passed by little by little. After Gengo had also planned out the route map for Kato Megumi, the girl's phone rang. It was a call from Kato Keiichi. He had fulfilled his promise to his girlfriend and was preparing to take Kato Megumi, this 'smokescreen,' home. Kato Megumi looked at the map and, based on what Gengo had just told her, she could easily coordinate with her cousin. He was right; this agency was indeed very reliable.

"Then I'll take my leave, Mr. Gensho. Thank you for your help."

"It's just a small favor, a small favor. Have a safe journey."

Gengo smiled and waved goodbye to Kato Megumi. Then he turned around, rubbed his fingers together lightly, and fine powder slid out. It was a special glue used to cover fingerprints. When Kato Megumi appeared, he subconsciously applied a layer, treating the girl in his emergency mode when he wasn't transformed. Although this layer of glue was rubbed off during the Sword of Truth incident, Gengo immediately applied another layer after returning. With other deliberate measures, he believed that he was safe in terms of physical evidence.

Honestly, I never expected to encounter something like this.

Recalling the accident, Gengo rubbed his temples wearily. He looked back at the location of Kirisu Mafuyu's apartment, glanced at the clock, and thought about asking the Nakano Five Sisters tonight if anything unusual had happened to them.

So, what's next...?

Let's go and see the world where Ilya lives.

Gengo still remembers his promise to Miyamoto Musashi and his promise to go to Chaldea to help deal with Mash's lifespan. Now that he has recovered well, it is time to set off for there. After all, there are still singularities there, and if he gets caught up in them, he can now handle it with all his might.

Pushing open the door, Gengo arrived in Fuyuki City. There was a slight time difference between Fuyuki and Fuyuki City. The bright sunshine made Gengo subconsciously squint. Then, he took out his 'Luna' and tried to contact his 'Zodiac', but...

Gengo did indeed sense the connection between himself and the other, but he couldn't break through the barrier and become completely connected with it, which was quite troubling. He tried to call out to 'Luna's' true form, but received no response. For a moment, Gengo was unsure of what to do next.

"?!"

At that moment, Yuanxiang heard a startled sound behind him. He subconsciously turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a small mustache looking at him with a surprised expression. At the same time, two girls were holding his arms, one on each side.

Is he a scumbag or a human trafficker?

The thought flashed through Genji's mind subconsciously, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves. But after recalling the man's background and the identities of the two girls, he lowered his sleeves again. It was Tokiomi Tohsaka and his two daughters—something he could barely call acquaintances. Judging from their appearance, the two daughters were probably accompanying their elderly father out to buy groceries. There was no need to pay them any attention... Wait, isn't the body that Ishtar and Ereshkigal used to possess his daughter, Rin Tohsaka? Should he try to make contact...?

Forget it, it's not like Rin Tohsaka didn't see me. If Ishtar's divinity still remained in her body, she'd probably be coming for me already.

Let's go, let's wander around Fuyuki City. If we don't find any clues, we'll leave and then look for other ways to contact Chaldea.

Genji said nothing, then turned and walked away in the opposite direction from Tokiomi Tohsaka and his daughter, but at that moment...

"What's wrong with Father?"

Rin Tohsaka's surprised voice rang out, followed by Tokiomi Tohsaka's shout:

"Please wait, sir."

"......"

"Sir! Please wait! I only wish to express my gratitude, nothing more!"

Seeing Genji continue leaving without looking back, Tokiomi Tohsaka hurriedly called out again, but before he could finish speaking, the boy had already disappeared from sight.

"Father, is that... someone you know?"

At this moment, Rin and Sakura Tohsaka realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly composed themselves, displaying the elegance befitting the Tohsaka family. Then, they cautiously inquired, and Tokiomi Tohsaka sighed regretfully, looking at his daughter and softly saying:

"Remember what that gentleman looks like. Without him, my daughter and I would not be able to be reunited like this. If we are fortunate enough to meet again in the future, we must not be rude. When it comes to making choices about interests, we should try our best to favor him. He may not care about us, but we must not forget his kindness, especially you, Xiaoying. All the knowledge you have learned comes from him."

"So it's Master?!"

Sakura Tohsaka's eyes widened in surprise. After stepping into the demonic path, she was acutely aware of how difficult it was for her 'imaginary number' attribute to remain in the Tohsaka family. Therefore, she was sincerely grateful to the 'guest' who left her this legacy.

"Father, please allow me to leave for a moment. I will be back before curfew."

Sakura Tohsaka, unable to stand still, bowed respectfully to Tokiomi Tohsaka to express her apology for her rudeness, and then hurriedly chased after Genji in the direction he had gone. At the same time, Tokiomi Tohsaka also noticed his other daughter looking at him. He nodded and said softly:

“Go ahead, you sisters can look after each other, and I’ll feel at ease, but don’t come back too late.”

"Yes, Father."

Rin Tohsaka smiled happily at her father and immediately chased after him. Watching the departing sisters, Tokiomi Tohsaka smiled and stroked his mustache. His daughters were truly adorable. Sometimes, seeing their smiles made him feel that reaching the 'Root' could be temporarily put aside. He hoped that his daughters could properly convey their gratitude to that gentleman.

While the Tohsaka sisters were rushing out, Gengo was walking along a path in Fuyuki City. He planned to go to the Great Hollow to take a look. Although he had destroyed the ley lines in Fuyuki City back then, it was once a place full of magical energy, and he might still see some unexpected surprises.

However, before he even reached his destination, a 'surprise' appeared. The roar of an engine suddenly rang out on the silent mountain road leading to the Great Cavern. Amidst the sharp wind, an ordinary car sped out at a speed it shouldn't have been able to handle, then lost its balance on a sharp turn and overturned!

I go!

Yuanxiang suddenly exerted his strength, stomped his foot, and pounced directly towards the overturned vehicle. At the same time, he activated 'cyclone', using the wind to drag the overturned vehicle.

However, as Yuanxiang made his move, the silver threads crisscrossed and drew intricate outlines, intertwining and combining with each other to form a complex three-dimensional object, much like a rattan craft. Fierce wings and beaks, as well as sharp claws, emerged one by one. The exquisite silver thread craft, as if alive, carried the people in the vehicle up, a man and a woman. The man looked like he had a blank expression, but at this moment, helplessness was written all over his face. The woman, on the other hand, had a face full of joy, as if she had found endless fun in the thrill of the rollover, and even wanted to do it again.

At that moment, the three met each other's gazes. Genji's lips twitched involuntarily. He actually recognized these two: Emiya Kiritsugu and his wife, Irisviel von Einzbern, who were also Illya's parents. He never expected that this couple would be seeking such thrills here. He wondered if Illya knew about her parents' unique hobby.

On the other side, Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes widened slightly, while Irisviel waved to Genji, greeting him warmly. At the same time, she manipulated the silver thread artifact to quickly place the two of them on the ground.

So Ilya learned her magic from her mother?

Yuanxiang mentally scoffed, then looked at the couple walking towards him, his gaze slightly cold as he adjusted his hat and asked softly:

"Did you just come back from the Great Hollow?"

"Please don't misunderstand, we have no intention of reopening the ley lines."

Kiritsugu Emiya understood Genji's subtext and hurriedly explained:

"It's just a routine check. Although the ley lines have been destroyed, the magical energy within them continues to accumulate. We're here to prevent any bad things from being born or any special situations from arising. And it's not just us; next time it will be the Tohsaka family from Fuyuki City's turn to check."

"Oh, I see. You all go ahead with your work. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Genji nodded without saying much, and walked towards the large void. Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel exchanged a glance and followed in silence. In that instant, Irisviel suddenly regretted ruining that old car that was almost totaled. Otherwise, at least she wouldn't have to go through all this trouble now. However, Kiritsugu Emiya quietly nodded to his wife, indicating that he could carry her if she felt weak.

Forget it, I'm not going to eat their dog food anymore.

Genji, who had been secretly using 'luna' to keep an eye on the movements behind him, frowned and summoned a gust of wind, carrying the three of them towards the Great Hollow.

343 Or you could give me a driver.

Just as Kiritsugu Emiya and his wife had said, the ley line magic on the other side of the Great Hollow was chaotic and accumulating. However, Genji didn't quite understand the magic system of this world, so he punched the ground again. If an ordinary magician saw this, they would probably be heartbroken, but Genji didn't care. He didn't 'kill' the ley lines. Apart from magicians, it had no effect on ordinary people living above. After several battles, he increasingly felt that the mystical forces in this world were all guys who were losing their 'humanity'. Reaching the Root or achieving their own magical goals, everything seemed to be something that could be given up.

Just like.....

This is Mr. Emiya next to me.

Yuanxiang subconsciously glanced back at the timeline he was responsible for... Never mind, it's all in the past. That period of 'time' no longer exists, and he has no reason to hold onto it.

Did you offend him?

On the other side, Irisviel looked at her husband with suspicion. The look that had flashed in the young man's eyes just now was quite ominous. Faced with this unknown being, the silver-haired wife couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After all, when he came to talk to her, he made it very clear that he was only there for Ilya. His serious and frightening expression made her have no doubt that he might kill her and her potentially unfit parents at any time for Ilya's sake.

No, this is only the second time I've seen it.

As expected of a married couple, they understood each other's feelings with just a glance. Moreover, when Kiritsugu Emiya was confused, he felt a little wronged. He used to be a magician assassin. Although he made a lot of money and achieved a certain status, he also made quite a few enemies.

In addition, the couple had directly betrayed the Einzbern family and withdrawn from the Holy Grail War. Although the punch the boy delivered when he left with them really hurt that magician family, some minor troubles still remained. He had been away from home for years to quell these issues, so why would he add new enemies to his family, especially since this person was the benefactor who enabled his family to live a happy life now?

"Don't worry about it."

Yuanxiang noticed the couple's confusion, waved his hand, and casually said:

"That one glance just now reminded me of something, it has nothing to do with Mr. Kiritsugu Emiya. Let's go, I'll take you home."

Before they could finish speaking, a gust of wind swept them up and flew towards the city of Fuyuki. In the blink of an eye, the three of them appeared on the street. This miraculous move left Kiritsugu and Irisviel in disbelief.

"Sir, if you're not in a hurry, how about you come and sit with us?"

Irisviel greeted Genji warmly, but her tone was still somewhat hesitant. Although she didn't know what kind of karma her daughter had formed with him, if she wasn't mistaken, the mysterious man that Sera and Liselle had mentioned chatting with Illya in the park a while ago should be Genji. Just like he said when they first met, he hoped that Illya could have a happy childhood. In a sense, he was there to inspect the 'work'.

To be honest, this made Irisviel very unhappy. If she didn't love her own daughter, who would? But the other person's thoughtfulness quickly calmed her down. She had to admit that her daughter had made a very good, reliable friend.

But here's the problem: Ilya has gone out to play with her friends and hasn't returned yet. This gentleman's 'inspection' doesn't seem very confident.

Damn it, I'm Illya's mother, so why am I in such a lowly position...?

Irisviel had a lot on her mind, but she didn't show it on her face at all. Genji had no intention of dealing with her either. After politely declining, he was about to leave for the office when he heard hurried footsteps. He turned around and saw that the Tohsaka sisters had arrived. The boy thought for a moment, and considering that Ishtar had once been attached to Rin Tohsaka, he stopped and waited for them to arrive.

"Hello sir, I am..."

"Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Tohsaka, I know you. Is there something you need?"

Gengo interrupted Sakura Tohsaka, looking at the sweat-drenched girl and said softly:
