In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"No, not a witch of King Arthur, but someone who lives for herself... Is such a thing really possible?"

Upon hearing Loewy's description, Grey's eyes welled up with tears, her gaze filled with longing.

Because that was the life she had always longed for.

Not for others, but to live for myself.

When Grey heard that King Arthur had abandoned Britain and chosen to live for himself, she also longed for him, but she was also somewhat afraid and confused. Now that she heard that she could really do it, she was naturally incredulous and moved.

Lo Wei made a commitment to this.

Grey can then work as a maid at his house. Her job will be to occasionally take care of the two girls her age, take them to school, and find suitable teachers (Waveper, who is about to pass his Level 3 Instructor exam) and guardians (Kenneth, who is obsessed with achieving a multi-Grade title and will be overjoyed) for the three of them. All you need to do is enjoy your new life.

If one day Grey feels she no longer needs protection, has truly grown up, is able to take care of herself, has her own new dreams, and can leave the Crowley family at any time to travel or live her own life.

Upon hearing this condition, which seemed to be an employment arrangement but was actually a way to take care of and help her, Grey was so moved that she burst into tears. She then threw herself into Rowe's arms and cried, and without any doubt, she chose to accept this kind gesture.

In response, Yad exclaimed, "Buhou!" and, wanting to stop this guy from adding fuel to the fire, he spread rumors to try and bring Grey to her senses. This kid already has the style of Merlin back in the day, and his tone was extremely displeased: "It's such a familiar scene. I always feel like we're being led by the nose by this kid and acting according to his ideas."

"Grey, listen to me, this guy definitely has ulterior motives towards you. He's probably just trying to seduce you! I should have known better. Anyone who can be friends with Merlin is either a psychopath or a monster. You have to be careful, don't fall for his spell... Waaah~"

"—Yad!!"

Upon hearing this clearly inappropriate description, Grey's cheeks suddenly flushed red, and she angrily called out Yad's name, after which Yad was physically rendered speechless.

And this time, it wasn't even Rowe who intervened. Grey was also furious to see Yad still harboring such prejudice against Rowe, her benefactor, even in this situation. She shoved Yad into the birdcage and used a bandage projected by Rowe to temporarily shut his mouth. This infuriated Yad, who exclaimed, "Grey's siding with outsiders and ignoring you! Do whatever you want!" He then closed his eyes, so angry he went into hibernation. Rowe watched helplessly. However, he was also extremely displeased with Yad's earlier slander.

Although he wasn't actually angry or bothered, he still decided in his heart to start a new research project when he got back, in order to expand his research. Even if Ad wasn't the real Star Anchor, it was still a mythical artifact forged by a witch, and the technology inside was very valuable for research. He could have Tsbia disassemble it and study it when he got back, and he believed that Tsbia would definitely be very interested, given her personality. And watching it being disassembled would undoubtedly be extremely satisfying for him.

Sitting on the steps next to the church, Loewy talked with Grey for a long time about the future. After confirming that he had successfully brought her home, he felt an extremely satisfying sense of accomplishment.

Well, not only have I done another great deed, but this time I've also gained a little angel by my side. Life is getting better and better, and there's more and more hope for the future...

He couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

After they finished talking, the two leaned against the steps and gazed at the night sky together. Grey's face was filled with a happy smile, still looking forward to her future life and the new friends that Loew had mentioned.

As for Lovi, he began to ponder what Tsbia had told him.

To resolve the Logos React issue and find Rafe, go to the church's basement; there's a direct passage there.

This was a suggestion made by Tsbia.

That was also the route he initially took to set up Logos React, and it was also the route Rafe took, so going that way was the right way to go.

"The basement..."

Sitting on the steps at the church entrance, Luo Wei glanced at the closed church behind him, lost in thought.

Although Tsbia said that having a magician go to a church and tell the proxy to enter the forbidden area was already quite abstract, Lowe initially genuinely intended to do so. He was even prepared to tell them that if they insisted on disagreeing, he would beat them until they agreed. However, the fat priest and the nun were incredibly fast; their figures had long since vanished from the church. When he entered, the entire church was empty, and the statue of the Virgin Mary was still staring at him. The thought of Morgan right beneath his feet sent chills down Lowe's spine.

After the coordinates provided by the other party were turned off, and after searching for a while without success, Rowe came out to rest for a while, and then asked Grey, "Grey, do you know how to get into the church's basement?"

"Do not……"

Grey shook her head.

“I didn’t know, or rather, I didn’t know there was a basement beneath the church before this. Now that Priest Fernand is not here, it should only be my master who knows—”

"Hmm? Is there something you need from me?"

Grey had only spoken halfway when a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind them. This made Rowe raise an eyebrow and turn around to greet him: "Hey, old man, you're finally back."

"I thought you had long forgotten about me. After all, you not only crammed me into the storage room for one night, but you didn't even prepare a single meal for me. In any case, your hospitality is truly unforgettable."

"...Didn't you eat?"

Hearing Rowe's veiled sarcasm, Belsac's expression turned somewhat strange.

But after careful consideration, he suddenly realized that he had indeed left in a hurry last night, and had only arranged for Grey to be in charge of receiving guests, seemingly having completely forgotten about Rowe's meals. He looked at Rowe and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, I forgot about you... But at your age, missing a day shouldn't be a problem. I'll take you out to eat when we get back."

Luo Wei: "...You really have forgotten."

"master!"

Upon seeing the old man appear, Grey called out his name.

"Good evening, Grey."

His attitude towards Grebel Sack was noticeably more amiable than when he was with Rowe. He said calmly, "What are you doing here with this kid? And so close at that? I just happened to be passing by and saw you. And I think I just heard you mention me, so what exactly happened?"

"Well, that's a long story..."

Rowe stroked his chin, pretending to ponder, and said, "However, this matter should also be important to you, so let Grey explain it to you."

"Important to me?" Belsac's eyes showed a slight hint of suspicion, then he looked at Grey and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"Um... Master, actually, it's like this: first, there was the matter of the village, and then there was the matter of the church's basement—"

"Um?!"

Before Grey could finish speaking, Belsac's aged eyes sharpened immediately upon hearing the unpleasant words "village" and "basement," and a terrifying aura involuntarily emanated from his entire body, causing Grey's delicate body to tremble involuntarily.

"Grey, you..."

But before he could say anything, Rowe, who was sitting on the steps next to Grey, stood up and came directly to his side, placing a hand on Belsack's shoulder, his eyes flashing with a faint blue light—a sign of magic in motion.

In short, an incredibly terrifying power, carrying the authority of the Earth Angel Uriel, was transmitted through his palm to Belsak's shoulder, forcibly controlling the oppressive feeling on his body, causing Belsak's tall body to tremble involuntarily.

"Don't get so worked up... Grandma, I know that place is forbidden territory for you, and even I shouldn't know this secret. But this matter actually has nothing to do with Grey. Can you calm down and listen to what I have to say?"

"You know, I've been left out all day without eating anything, and I'm actually pretty annoyed right now..."

Luo Wei replied calmly.

Although it was just a simple statement, anyone could hear the threat implied in the words.

And as his voice continued to fall, the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid hidden in the thermos quietly peeked out and, like a venomous snake, bound Belsak's leg, just as had happened last night.

"..."

Feeling the immense pressure on his shoulders and the icy touch on his legs, Belsac was slightly startled. He then glanced meaningfully at the smiling Rowe behind him, let out a helpless sigh, and could only let Grey continue speaking.

"—Hahaha! Old man, I never thought you'd be suppressed one day."

Seeing Belsak being suppressed, Yad, who had just broken free from the projection tape, let out a loud laugh.

"Yad!"

This scene made Grey shout anxiously.

Finally, at Grey's request, Rowe raised his finger ahead of time and released Belsac. However, some things were indeed inconvenient to discuss here, so the group pushed open the church doors and went inside. With Fernand absent, this was indeed a very good place to talk.

Squeak—!

The group entered one by one. Belsak then closed the door, and after confirming no one was eavesdropping, he sat back down on the bench. He looked at the trembling Gray and the nonchalant Rowe with a somber gaze, and asked in a low voice, "What exactly happened? How much do you know about the basement and the gravedigger village? Who told you these things?"

"It's that magician in the windmill. He left behind related images and communications. His name is Tsbia. His full name is too long, I don't remember it."

In response to his question, Lowe answered Grey's question very frankly, "As for the mess in your village, I know more about it than you do. It's not a secret at all. Isn't it just that they intend to use Grey as a vessel for one of the three elements in order to resurrect her? There's a machine in the basement simulating the spirit. What they're missing now is King Arthur's soul."

Upon hearing this, Belsac's face darkened. He glanced at Gray, who had remained silent, and sighed inwardly. He then turned to Rowe and said in a deep voice, "You magicians are truly a bunch of loose tongues, finding out about these things in such a short time. So, what do you want to say to me? This is a ritual performed a thousand years ago, carrying everyone's hopes; it's impossible to stop. Magician, what advice do you have?"

"If there's nothing else, then leave once you find your tomb raider companion, and never come back."

"So you're also determined to sacrifice Grey?" Rowe's tone grew increasingly cold.

"This has nothing to do with you. Some things are beyond our control. If we want to lift the curse, we have no choice but to..."

Similarly, Belsak's voice became unusually loud, and his aged eyes and tone were no longer as unwavering as before.

"We have to sacrifice others? Ha, you must be joking. This is just another example of this twisted logic."

Without hesitation, Luo Wei scoffed, "Not to mention that you are simply incapable of doing this, even if you did complete the ritual, you would all be held accountable when Artoria returns."

"You bastard..."

"Shut your mouth and listen to me finish what I have to say."

"Compared to you bunch of fools who call themselves the guardians of King Arthur's tomb, my relationship with King Arthur is far closer than you think. I have seen the real King Arthur with my own eyes."

"..."

At this point, Loewe pressed his hand on the table and looked at Belsack. "I met King Arthur during the Fourth Holy Grail War and formed a very deep friendship with her, so we both know each other's thoughts. Therefore, I can be sure that what you are doing now is not what she would want to see, and as her friend, I will not allow you to defile her like this."

"And do you know what? Gravekeepers, you've already failed. The key to breaking the curse is no longer resurrecting King Arthur, but me."

"What did you say?"

Belsac stared into Rowe's eyes. "What does this mean?"

"Literally, all you need to know is that King Arthur can absolutely not be resurrected now. Because she never died, and right now, I'm the only one in the whole world who can help you break the curse."

"It's that simple," Luo Wei said calmly.

"—!!"

It was obvious that the amount of information contained in those few short sentences was so enormous that Bersak's original body trembled.

King Arthur did not die...

And he can lift the curse.

Although it's unclear how Luo Wei managed to do it, this one reason alone is more than enough for him to get involved in the village's affairs.

Belsac looked at Grey, who nodded slightly in her defense of Lovi. Then she took a golden cup from her pocket and gently placed it on the table.

—The Holy Grail.

"!!!"

Without much explanation or words, everything became clear the moment this thing appeared.

Last night, the scene when he saw the Holy Grail was too far away, and there was a barrier between them, so he couldn't see its true nature at all.

At this moment, after seeing the perfect Cup of Heaven with his own eyes, his gaze was completely drawn to this golden cup.

Sacred, great, noble...

'It's absolutely gorgeous...'

Belsak couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder, and at the same time, he was certain that this thing could break the curse.

Now that we can confirm this, that's enough, since this is their greatest wish.

"I never expected this... Not only Avalon, but even the Holy Grail that Galahad found has appeared? It really is fate..."
