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

She wouldn't even dare to have such an outrageous dream!

After calming the three little girls down, Yoshikage Kira looked up at the old woman opposite him and asked:

"Is the divine body still there?"

"It's always been here."

Miyamizu Ichiyo smiled kindly, “It’s the same as before. If you want to pay homage to the divine body, you must enter the secluded world before dusk and leave before dusk ends. That way you can return to the correct time.”

"Should we still leave some kuchikamizake (chewed rice wine)?"

“Mitsuha needs sake made by chewing rice, and it was prepared a year ago, but they…”

Miyamizu Ichiyo paused, then looked at the Yukinoshita sisters sitting to the side. "They're not virgins anymore, are they?"

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed slightly, and although Haruno Yukinoshita tried to appear composed, she couldn't hide the blush on her face.

Although it is true.

But don't say it in public!

"Kamakami sake only has meaning if it's made by pure young girls, and only then can it be used to communicate with the gods. Even if they offer kamakami sake like Mitsuha, the gods won't accept it. So..."

Miyamizu Ichiyo looked at Kira Yoshikage meaningfully and said with a hidden meaning, "You will pay the price for them."

"Then I'll owe you for now."

Yoshikage Kira remained unfazed; he had never intended to pay off his debts anyway, so owing more was fine.

However, if the gods really come to collect their debts, Kira Yoshikage can't deny it. So there's nothing he can do but try his best to repay the debt.

As for how to repay the debt?

Isn't that simple?

The death of a god is also a way of repaying debts!

Kira Yoshikage mentally reviewed the process of repaying the debt and gave the instructions:

"Yukino, Haruno, you and Mitsuha go to the Hidden World together. From there, you can return directly to the future. Also, after returning to the future, do not go to Fuyuki City, and do not try to find Fuyuki City."

"it is good."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly; she never objected to any decision made by Yoshikage Kira.

Even if she felt that what he did was wrong.

Yukinoshita frowned slightly:

Aren't you coming with us?

"Alice is still waiting for me."

"Really."

Of course, Yono knew that Irisviel was still in Fuyuki City, and she could understand Kira Yoshikage's choice.

But as expected, there are still some dissatisfactions!

What happened to the promise that we'd go back to Chiba countryside after this war was over?

What? She just made that up in her head?

That's fine.

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

"That's a divine body?"

Looking at the towering tree standing tall on the lush green wetland, Yukino asked in surprise.

"Yes, that is the sacred body of Miyamizu Shrine."

Miyamizu Mitsuha, holding a porcelain bottle containing kuchikami sake, pointed to the stream ahead and said, "Cross that stream, and you'll reach the secluded world."

This wasn't her first time here; she knew the place like the back of her hand.

"It doesn't look like it was formed naturally,"

Yukinoshita recalled the terrain she had come from and muttered to herself, "It's somewhat similar to a volcano, but not exactly the same."

The moment I crossed the stream, the surrounding environment seemed unchanged.

Yet, it felt as if my body had just passed through a 'membrane,' a truly wondrous experience.

Look back.

There was no one on the wetland.

"I do not go!"

Asagami Fujino bit her lip tightly, gripping Kira Yoshikage's arm tightly.

Watching helplessly as the three girls suddenly 'disappeared' while crossing the stream, the girl realized they had entered the secluded world.

But that's precisely why her reaction was so intense.

It doesn't matter what other people do.

But she absolutely refuses to go back!

"I didn't say I was going to force you to leave, did I?"

Yoshikage Kira chuckled and patted the girl's small hand reassuringly.

In fact, even if the Asagami Fujino and Kohaku Hishige sisters wanted to leave, they couldn't, because they had nowhere to go.

In 2013, Fuyuki City had not even experienced the Holy Grail War. Therefore, before the history of the Holy Grail War was established, Fuyuki City in other timelines was considered a "Schrödinger's Fuyuki City," existing in a superposition of both existence and non-existence.

Therefore, even if Asagami Fujino were to return to 2013, she would most likely not be able to find Fuyuki City.

As for Sakura.

She belongs to this time and space; she has no future now, and therefore cannot go to the future.

Therefore, all four of them had to stay.

The three little ones staying behind can keep Ilya company.

As for Fujino...

Yoshikage Kira always thought that Fujino Asagami was very useful... well, he meant her abilities.

"Then why did you bring me here?"

Asagami Fujino's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but her eyes were still full of confusion.

"Just in case."

Asagami Fujino wondered, what is there to guard against?

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

"Finally, I'm back..."

Miyamizu Mitsuha walked down the mountain along the path back to the town and turned on her phone, which she hadn't used in a long time.

The network resynchronization time is displayed above as:

2013 9 Month 7 Day.

"So much time has passed, but only a few days have passed in 'reality'?"

Miyamizu Mitsuha felt as if she had been transported to another world; this experience was simply too magical for her.

Following the asphalt road upwards, Miyamizu Mitsuha returned to her familiar home.

Everything here is exactly the same as before.

Her shoes were also neatly placed on the shoe rack, as if she had never left.

"That is indeed the case."

Miyamizu Mitsuha muttered to herself, supporting herself against the wall as she changed into her indoor shoes, and gently greeted the little girl who appeared in the entryway:

"Yo, Yotsuba, long time no see."

Miyamizu Yotsuba stared at her for a while, then shouted loudly into the room:

"Grandma, my sister finally came back after spending all the money!"

Miyamizu Mitsuha glared angrily at her younger sister, who looked just like a delinquent girl who had stolen money from home and run away!

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

"On September 7, 2018, they actually came back..."

After leaving the 'seclusion,' Yang Nai looked at the time displayed on her phone, which had reconnected to the internet, with some surprise.

"Having already been through so much, how can you still be surprised by these things?"

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her older sister, who responded with a speechless retort:

"Yukino, don't talk about time travel as casually as eating and drinking!"

She has been through a lot, but these are things you can't experience all the time!

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"what happened?"

Yukino followed her gaze with a puzzled look, her breath catching in her throat.

There is no doubt that we are in Itomori Town.

But the town of Itomori here is completely different from what it was 24 years ago.

It's not a matter of minor differences like adding a few more buildings or roads; the town of Itomori is now nothing but ruins!

Most of the town’s buildings have been destroyed, replaced by a giant crater with a diameter of over 1,000 meters!

The newly formed crater overlaps with part of the original Lake Itomori, and lake water is flowing into the crater from Lake Itomori.

And so.

Today, Itomori Town has two lakes.

From above, it looks like a giant gourd.
