In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

Even a serial killer was right next to her! What's wrong with this city?!

Asagami Fujino tilted her head; she could understand that Miyamizu Mitsuha couldn't accept reality for the time being.

If it were her, she probably would also...

Well, she actually accepted it quite quickly.

but,

"We can't rest now, we still have a lot to do."

Asagami Fujino whispered in Miyamizu Mitsuha's ear, her voice incredibly gentle, yet Miyamizu Mitsuha felt as if she wanted to cry but couldn't:

"Are you a devil?!"

What else is there to do? Are they going to kill someone again?

Asagami Fujino seemed to sense the girl's worry and smiled faintly:

"Don't worry, we won't kill anyone today."

Miyamizu Mitsuha paused slightly, then fell into thought.

If it's possible to avoid killing, then it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Chapter 203 Don't be afraid of difficulties, a good nap can solve them!

The old capital of Fuyuki City, shopping street.

"So, isn't that completely nonexistent?"

Inside the coffee shop, Mitsuha Miyamizu ate her snacks while muttering to herself, while Amber and Jade sat on either side, feeding each other blueberry cheesecake.

Across from Miyamizu Mitsuha, Asagami Fujino was carefully comparing a hand-drawn map.

Amber asked:

"Could it be that we've come to the wrong place?"

Miyamizu Mitsuha took a sip of coffee, somewhat dejected:

"How could I not have found the right one? Didn't I follow the map he drew exactly?"

"But Kira-nii's map was drawn very accurately..."

"Precise ≠ Correct".

Miyamizu Mitsuha snatched the map from Asagami Fujino's hand; it was an aerial view of Fuyuki City hand-drawn by Kira Yoshikage the previous night.

The map uses the Mien River, which runs through the entire city, and the Mien River Bridge, which spans the east and west banks, as reference points to divide Fuyuki City into the new capital and the old capital, and marks a large number of locations within them.

For example, the Tohsaka Residence, Matou Residence, Emiya Residence, and Ryudou Temple located in the old capital, as well as the church and port located in the new capital.

Although these locations lack precise addresses, only providing general directions, the areas circled on the map are not large. By using the Miwakawa Bridge and the shopping street as reference points, it's easy to pinpoint the corresponding neighborhoods.

But the problem is—

How can a person find something that doesn't exist?

Miyamizu Mitsuha was somewhat discouraged; Fuyuki City didn't have any of the places marked on the map at all!

The Miwon River, the Miwon River Bridge, and the port all actually exist, and they are currently located in the shopping district shown on the map.

But apart from that, neither the Tohsaka Residence, the Matou Residence, nor the Emiya Residence exist!

There is indeed Mount Enzo to the west, but there is no Ryudo-ji Temple marked on the map there, and there is no church to the southeast either.

This map is utterly useless except for its accuracy!

So no matter how hard they searched, they were destined to never find the location marked on the map.

Jade, on a sudden whim, tilted her little face up and asked curiously:

"Could it be that these places aren't actually here at all?"

Asagami Fujino hesitated:

"But the map is definitely for Fuyuki City..."

Jade frowned like a little adult, trying her best to describe her thoughts with her limited vocabulary:

“What I mean is, could it be that these places do exist in Fuyuki City, but not in the Fuyuki City we are in now, but in the Fuyuki City that Kira-nii knows? Didn’t Mitsuha-nee also say that she actually swapped souls with Kira-nii? So, maybe the Fuyuki City we are in is not the Fuyuki City that Kira-nii is looking for.”

Amber immediately understood her sister's guess, and her amber eyes lit up:

"It's 2013 now, so what time is Kira-nii-san?"

"It should be, um, 2018."

Miyamizu Mitsuha thought carefully for a moment, but when she gave the answer, she was slightly taken aback. The phone did indeed show 2018, but why hadn't she noticed this detail before?

And with this analysis, doesn't it mean that Kira-kun is actually from the future?

If we calculate it this way, wouldn't she be six years older than Yoshikage Kira by 2018?

That's not right!

The idea of ​​swapping souls is already incredibly absurd.

Although she had her mother's guidance, she could tentatively understand it as a family-inherited spiritual mediumship ability.

But the idea of ​​traveling through time and space is just too contrary to common sense!

If Kira from the future were to return to her body in the past, wouldn't that cause a butterfly effect or something similar?

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the butterfly effect has already been triggered.

Miyamizu Mitsuha looked at the three girls beside her. Whether it was Asagami Fujino, Kohaku, and Hishime, or the Asagami and Tono families who had been wiped out, hadn't their fates all been changed because of Kira-kun's appearance?

Or are these things actually part of a predetermined fate?

Miyamizu Mitsuha had a headache; she hated thinking about these complicated things.

Although she believes in the existence of gods and that everyone has their own destiny because of her family tradition, she is still not used to thinking about things that are too complicated.

"But if these places all exist in the future, why is Kira so insistent on searching for them in the 'past'?"

Asagami Fujino paused slightly as she stirred her coffee with a spoon, and questioned her in a suspicious tone.

"Perhaps he didn't realize he was in the 'past'?"

Miyamizu Mitsuha speculated that if Kohaku and the others hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have realized there was a time discrepancy between the two sides. Kira Yoshikage might be the same; he might not have realized that what he was looking for was actually in the future, not the past.

"Will not."

Asagami Fujino shook her head, her tone incredibly certain, "Kira-kun knows that those locations exist in Fuyuki City in the 'past' time, which is why he's trying to find them."

"But aren't we in the past? No, we're not."

Miyamizu Mitsuha spread her hands, explaining that they had searched many times before giving up only when they couldn't find it.

Amber whispered her opinion:

"Perhaps it's not the future, nor the 'past' we live in, but in a much more distant past?"

"Huh?"

Asagami Fujino and Miyamizu Mitsuha were both taken aback.

-----------------

Fuyuki City does not exist in reality.

Kira Yoshikage was absolutely certain of this.

Just because Fuyuki City doesn't exist now doesn't mean it didn't exist in the past.

On Google Maps, the area where Fuyuki City is located is just a wilderness.

However, the river that separates the two banks also exists in reality, and its outline is exactly the same as the Miwa River in Fuyuki City.

With its pleasant climate and location at the mouth of a river, this area is undoubtedly a natural site for a harbor city. However, on Google satellite maps, there are no towns, let alone villages, in this area.

This is clearly very unreasonable, especially in Japan where there is a large population and limited land.

This indicates that this area either remained undiscovered for a long time or was a recent addition. And the purpose of this new area is to house the Fuyuki City, which is about to be integrated into reality!

Once the world of Fate successfully merges with reality, Fuyuki City will appear out of thin air on this wilderness.

And from the moment it appeared in Fuyuki City, it existed simultaneously in the past, present, and future.

Yuno Gasai is a living example.

Although Fuyuki City no longer exists and is now just a wilderness, Fuyuki City already existed in the past where Mitsuha Miyamizu lived.

This means that the fusion of dimensions and reality has begun and could be completed at any time.

To stop this fusion, or at least to minimize its impact, it must be done in Fuyuki City.

But Fuyuki City does not exist 'now,' and the people 'now' are destined to be unable to interfere with this integration.

Therefore, intervention is only possible in the 'past' of Fuyuki City.

This is like the classic job-seeking paradox:

A: I need to get into Fuyuki City.

B: Your mission is to stop Fuyuki City from falling!

A: That's why I need to enter Fuyuki City to stop its arrival.

B: How do I get to Fuyuki City?

A: Let Fuyuki City descend.

B: Fuyuki City has already been invaded, why do you need to stop it?

A: How can I stop Fuyuki City from descending upon it?

B: I'll say it again, your mission is to stop Fuyuki City from descending!

A: So how the hell am I supposed to stop Fuyuki City from descending upon itself without actually entering Fuyuki City?

B: That's something you should consider!

A: FUCK YOU!
