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

So Aiwass didn't say much, but simply pointed out a feasible path for them according to Rowe's plan, giving them the opportunity to prepare in advance, as well as his own guidance and help, but the rest was up to the magicians themselves.

After all, He always believed that "all people are stars."

Aiwass was also looking forward to seeing how these magicians would respond, following their own paths.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of all the magicians present, the brief moment that Aiwass's figure disappeared also marked the end of this promotion.

At this moment, without exception, they all felt extremely conflicted. They had clearly confirmed what they wanted to witness, and knew that the Age of Gods was indeed returning, but…

Why can't I feel happy?

Perhaps it's because this revival of the divine age is likely just a final burst of energy before death, like a last meal before someone's demise.

However, whatever the reason, whether it is to pursue the truth further, to simply carry out the angel's command, or simply to save one's own life.

But one thing is certain: from this very moment today, the entire world's demonic path will truly begin to move and will enter an unprecedented state of alert.

Among the countless branches of the world, one world has now truly sprouted a new bud.

The once numb magicians truly united, coalescing into a powerful force. On the withered branch of this world, a real leaf sprouted, which they named—[Hope].

……

The time will be approximately seven days later.

It's the number seven again; it seems like anything related to this number is bound to bring good things.

Although Orange's style became increasingly bolder during those seven days because of what happened that night, the two of them still didn't really take that final step because of their sense of responsibility.

Luo Wei's reply was: "Next time for sure."

Streets in London.

After completing a seven-day intensive study session with Evans, Lowe, who had made significant progress once again, unusually took the initiative to suggest that they go to London together.

"Aiwass, do you really think those guys can get things done?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm... to put it simply, let them discuss it themselves. Are you sure they won't fight over the spoils?"

"That's certainly possible, but isn't internal elimination and consolidation also for better progress?"

"It's just that the price of this progress is a bit too heavy..."

"Human progress is usually accompanied by pain. However, it seems that we are doing quite well so far."

A man and a bird? One was radiating light and hovering in mid-air, while the other was dressed casually. The two chatted as they approached the high wall blocking the east side of London. Due to the evacuation of people, there were no ordinary people in this area at the moment.

Just three days ago, this area was an empty plot of land, but now a high wall and many massive buildings have been laid, and construction is proceeding at a staggering pace that would leave the modern construction industry speechless. If an ordinary person were here, they would find it hard to imagine where all these building materials came from, transported in so quietly.

However, no one would actively approach it, because the dense array of dispelling spells would subconsciously make people feel uneasy and want to stay away. But there's no need to worry about this area disrupting their lives, as the entire city of London will be rapidly devoured by this inner city. Furthermore, these magicians will continue to establish more otherworldly realms on this land, using them as new bases for their headquarters.

It is worth mentioning that because Aiwass affected the ley lines in the London area, the success rate of the originally extremely complicated and low-success-rate otherworld creation magic has been greatly increased, which has made the construction speed even faster. Even the original ley lines have begun to approach the level of the Age of Gods, which is more than enough to support the entire Magicians' Association.

"...This is outrageous! In just three days, a city-sized area comparable to the Clock Tower has sprung up on the same spot. Is this still the same group of magicians who make decisions before doing anything?"

Even Luo Wei couldn't help but sigh at such efficiency.

"That's why people say humans are really complex creatures. They have so many possibilities, but they always like to hide them, only revealing them at the last moment, just like now."

"I remember this school district was contracted out to Atlas Academy?"

"Yes, the school district of Wandering Sea has been negotiating with the Clock Tower because it wants to be closer to your home. However, what we do know is that all three departments of the Mage's Association are relocating to London. The magical city you envisioned is already under construction. So, are you satisfied?"

"What can I say now? They've gone to such lengths; it seems they're really giving their all to protect themselves. Of course, it would be even better if they didn't always carry out construction so secretly near my house."

"Yes, humans only gather together when facing a life-or-death crisis. What do you think would be a good name for this new city?"

"Academy City?"

"..."

Aiwass paused noticeably.

"Alright, I won't mess around with you anymore." Noticing the strange look in Aiwas's eyes, Rowe thought seriously for a moment and finally gave a similar name: "What do you think of the name 'Li London'?"

"It's a very ordinary name, but it sounds alright. If it were mine, I would probably name it Taylor Abbey or Endymion."

Just how much do you like Aleister?

Luo Wei couldn't help but complain, "Alright, we've had enough of wandering around. We should get down to business."

"Getting down to business? Are you going back to see your girlfriend? The older one, or one of the younger ones?"

"Huh? You're so long-winded! Don't go on like this..."

The young man walking down the street hadn't even finished speaking when a figure suddenly darted out from the alleyway next to him.

And it seemed as if the person had planned this all along, as they lunged directly at Luo Wei, but whether by accident or on purpose, they seemed to deliberately twist their ankle halfway, and then fell at a perfect angle directly into Luo Wei's arms, or rather, deliberately snuggled into his arms.

Subconsciously embracing the light, floating weight, Luo Wei looked at the birdman beside him who seemed quite interested.

"...Didn't you sense that someone might suddenly appear? Aren't you an angel?"

"I'm not a pure angel, and you didn't feel anyone suddenly approaching you, did you? Instead of asking questions directly, I suggest you first take a good look at what's going on."

"What do you mean?"

The young man who had instinctively hugged a girl frowned upon hearing this, then lowered his head and looked at the girl who was pretending to have her eyes closed.

"Saya Aika?"

Then, Lowe immediately understood what Aiwass had just said and called out his name.

"Huh? You actually know me?"

"...I know you all too well."

"Yes, this development is actually quite interesting."

Aiwass said so.

……

……

In a strange café in London, filled with magical girl themes.

Although it felt strange and she couldn't understand why Luo Wei would choose such a location, after thinking it over again and again, the little girl with light blonde hair still regarded it as Luo Wei's hobby and secretly remembered it.

"Thank you, Your Highness, you are a very kind person."

"……Um."

"By the way, Your Highness, you actually recognize me?"

"……Um."

"Oh, I see. It must be fate that brought us together here. So, Your Highness, will you marry me?"

"Hmm... Hmm? No."

"?"

The girl with short blonde hair sitting opposite her was talking non-stop, but when she saw that Luo Wei remained unmoved and instead looked helpless, she looked puzzled, as if wondering if she had done something wrong or said something wrong. But in reality, she hadn't done anything wrong; on the contrary, her very presence there was the biggest mistake.

Luo Wei quickly covered his face with one hand, then raised his other hand to call over the waiter who was looking at them with strange eyes.

"Waiter, bring me two more cocktails to clear my head. I need to calm down and think things through."

"Would you like to drink from the same cup? Honestly, Your Highness is quite bold!"

The blonde girl let out a surprised sound.

"The Root Linker... this is truly..."

Aiwas glanced at the empty plates on the table, then at the petite girl sitting opposite him. She was happily savoring the food, as if she could never get enough of any amount of food that Luo Wei ordered for her. Interestingly, her little belly didn't change at all after eating so much.

"This is terrible..."

Aiwas merely glanced at the girl in front of him with slight amusement, while making his own remarks, but he did not expect that Luo Wei would actually respond to him and give such a terrible answer.

Compared to Aiwas, who found meeting the Root Connector quite interesting, when Lovi saw Sajō Ayaka again, and faced this scene right from the start, he didn't even know what expression to make.

He and Aiwass had just finished a simple unification of the magicians in this world, and were satisfied with the results, so they were about to get down to business when they were suddenly entangled by the Root of Madness, who appeared out of nowhere.

Isn't this a deus ex machina?!

It doesn't seem so. Justisa told him that the two beings in the Root were very interested in him, and that they would meet even if he didn't go.

I had already seen Gengenshiki when I was in Kanbushi City, so it's not unreasonable for him to appear. In fact, it's more accurate to say that he had long anticipated this day.

But then again, since he finished participating in the Holy Grail War, he has encountered many strange beings along the way. What does it mean that he would encounter a Root Princess before he could even set off to rescue Artoria?

Could it be that the next film set is the Fragment of Azure Silver?

There's no need for that. Cangyin holds no appeal for him whatsoever. On the contrary, there's an incredibly powerful Pharaoh King. He has absolutely no interest in participating, and besides, Cangyin shouldn't even exist in this world.

And isn't the biggest problem at Cangyin Studio right in front of us?

Is this yet another theory that mystery attracts mystery? Has the moment arrived when reality and magic intertwine?

"Well, Your Highness, since you know me, let's not delay. Would you like to be my knight? I feel that our meeting is fate, it must be the guidance of destiny. Don't worry, I will protect you. Whatever you want, I will make it happen for you, as long as we can be together forever and ever."

Before the food was served, Ayaka Sajou blinked, then spoke to Rovi with great seriousness.

Luo Wei was taken aback and looked at Sajou Aika, who was speaking seriously, with surprise.

"If I didn't know you so well, I could easily have been fooled by you today."

"cheat?"

Sajou Aika tilted her head, almost as if a big question mark was about to appear on her forehead.

"It's nothing, just me talking to myself."

"However, you're still so young. It's really strange for you to say you like someone you've just met. You don't even understand what liking someone means."

Luo Wei casually replied, "Why don't you go home first? You can find a boyfriend when you're older."

"No way~ It's because Your Highness refused to come to the whirlpool to see me, so I had no choice but to chase after you. Now that I've finally found you, of course we must never be apart again!"

"..."

"That's why I deliberately stayed away from the Far East; I never wanted to see you again in this lifetime."

Seeing Ayaka Sajou's joyful and happy state, Luo Wei could roughly guess that this was under the condition that the Azure Silver Fragment had not occurred, that is, under the condition that she was still a normal person for the time being.
