It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

Saber relied on her own will to renew the contract with Rin Tousaka and stayed in the human world, saying that she wanted to witness the growth of Shirou Emiya and Rin Tousaka;

Xueyue also used the Holy Grail to summon again. Okita Souji and Medusa responded to the summons and returned to Fuyuki City. They signed a contract with Xueyue, but for some reason, they retained their previous memories.

And a few days after the end of the Holy Grail War, the two people from Chaldea finally resumed communication with Chaldea.

"Hello - hello - can you hear me?"

"Yes! Dr. Roman, I heard it clearly!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Mashu also became excited.

"Ah, we're finally connected. That's great. How are you guys doing?"

Hearing Mashu's energetic voice, Dr. Roman also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior and I are both in perfect condition!"

"Doctor Roman, the problem here has been solved. We will return immediately!"

This so-called [Singularity] was just a misunderstanding after all, but both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu were very happy about this unexpected encounter, but now it was time to leave.

"Are you leaving?"

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka preparing to return, Xueyue asked.

"Well, Miss Xueyue, thank you very much for your care during this period. I believe we will meet again one day!"

"In that case, take this away."

Xueyue threw out a golden object.

Fujimaru Ritsuka hurriedly caught it. With such abundant magic power and this shape, what else could it be but the Holy Grail?

"Ms. Xueyue, this...?"

Since this world is not a [Singularity], there is no need for Chaldea to recover the Holy Grail, which obviously belongs to Xueyue.

"Take it. This is what I promised you. This is what you deserve~"

Xueyue waved her hand, not caring at all. After all, this holy grail made of pure magic power would not be difficult to make as long as Xueyue wanted to, and this would obviously be of greater help to Chaldea.

Mashu put the Holy Grail into the storage space inside the shield:

"Ms. Xueyue, thank you very much. See you again if we are lucky enough!"

"Well, have a good trip~"

Xueyue watched Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu disappear in the blue light of the spirit particle transfer.

Bazette said a simple goodbye to Xueyue and Kallen before leaving Fuyuki City. According to herself, she would "modify to a certain extent" the facts that happened here.

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

This is what happened in the past ten days. By the time the old year passed and New Year's Day arrived, Fuyuki City had returned to its former atmosphere.

"Sorry, sorry, I got up a little late."

Xueyue reached out and touched Abigail's head, soothing her emotions.

"Sister Xue must have stayed up late playing games again, right?"

"Uh... Hey~"

Xueyue decisively chose to act cute.

"...Forget it, Sister Xue, hurry up and have breakfast, then we'll go to the shrine together~"

Visiting the shrine on New Year's Day is a custom in this country. In Fuyuki City, they will go to Ryudo Temple. Xueyue herself is not very interested in the culture of the island country, but the three little ones seem to like feeling the so-called festive atmosphere. As an older sister, Xueyue will naturally obey them and go to Ryudo Temple with them to join in the fun.

"Ah...Mas...Ah no, Xueyue, are you up?"

As soon as she walked into the living room, Xueyue ran into Okita Souji who had just come in.

Letting the Heroic Spirits call her by her name instead of Master was one of Xueyue's small requests. After all, there was no need to fight the Holy Grail War now, and keeping calling her that way seemed a bit distant and unnecessary.

However, the time is still short, and the heroic spirits sometimes make mistakes. Xueyue doesn't care too much about it. After all, it is just a small request and not a mandatory measure. Instead, the heroic spirits will always correct themselves quickly.

"Well, you and Altria just came back from exercise."

When Xueyue saw Altria coming in with Okita Souji, she roughly guessed what was going on.

"Ah."

Although Artoria has a contract with Toosaka Rin, both Emiya Shirou and Toosaka Rin have to go to school normally, so Artoria stays with Xueyue, which is convenient.

Going to the kendo room to practice sparring each other every morning is also a daily activity for Souji Okita and Altria.

Chapter 177 Fulfilling the Promise

After breakfast, Xueyue led everyone out of the house and headed towards Yuanzang Mountain.

In fact, many people went to Liudong Temple before dawn to pray for the new year. For Xueyue and the others, they waited until eight or nine in the morning to set out, which was naturally considered late.

The steps leading to the top of Yuanzang Mountain are no longer as deserted as before, with men, women, young and old coming and going in an endless stream on the slightly winding mountain path.

“There are so many people…”

Souji Okita couldn't help but sigh that festivals nowadays are much more lively than when she was there.

"Okita, how does the festive atmosphere now compare to what you've experienced?"

Xueyue asked Okita Souji, after all, among the heroic spirits in the world, only Okita Souji was considered a native of the country.

"The cultural customs haven't changed much, but it's more lively than when I lived, although I didn't have much free time to experience the festivals in detail back then."

Xueyue was not too surprised by Okita Souji's answer. After all, the time when Okita Souji lived was less than two hundred years ago.

"In that case, please enjoy yourself this time, Ms. Okita~"

Amid the crowd, Xueyue and her group finally squeezed to the entrance of Liudong Temple.

"Crack-pump-"

Abigail, Illya, and Xueying followed the example of the others and clapped their hands in prayer.

Xueyue was just a few meters behind them, leaning casually against a tree, watching them with a smile.

"Xueyue, it seems that you don't seem to be very interested in these customs?"

Okita Souji, who was accompanying Xueyue, found that Xueyue seemed to have little interest in these customs.

"Well... how should I put it? I've gone through many festivals, and I'm really not that excited about them anymore. Besides, the New Year customs in this country are too similar to those in China, so I'm even less interested... But Abi-chan and the others are still young and are keen on the festive atmosphere. I certainly can't spoil their fun, so just watching over them is enough~"

In response to Xueyue's explanation, Okita Souji nodded silently.

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

The worship ended quickly, and as they walked down the mountain, the girls chattered about something.

"It is a New Year custom to write Spring Festival couplets and stick them on the door. I heard that it can bring good luck in the coming year~"

"But I heard that it would be better if I wrote it myself..."

"What a pity, none of us can write calligraphy..."

The girls' discussion voices drifted into Xueyue's ears along with the wind.

"Altria, Okita Souji, you two can take the three of them back. I'm going to go buy some things."

Xueyue suddenly said to the two of them.

"it is good."

The two did not ask Xueyue's purpose, but simply agreed.

When Xueyue returned home again, she spread red paper on the table and then cut the red paper into strips with a light stroke.

"Sister Xue, what are you doing?"

Abigail came closer curiously.

"I'm not good at writing couplets at the beginning of the new year, but writing a horizontal couplet is enough~"

"Hey, Sister Xue, can you write calligraphy?"

Abigail was a little surprised.

"Little fool, of course I can write~"

Xueyue rubbed Abigail's head.

"I can lend you the ink pot from Fanlou..."

The elusive Fanlou suddenly spoke.

"Uh, this is not necessary..."

Xueyue looked at the huge ink pen that Fanlou handed over, and after thinking about it, she decided to refuse.

Light golden ripples appeared, and Xueyue took out a brush and inkstone. The inkstone was filled with golden ink. Judging from the golden patterns carved on the brush and inkstone, these were the finest craftsmen.

However, Xueyue doesn't care whether the stationery she uses is gorgeous or not. After all, the value of these external things is superficial. What matters most is whether the written words look good. If you use a bunch of gorgeous stationery but can only write bad handwriting, then what's the difference between that and buying a bunch of skins but being a gaming rookie?

Xueyue took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then slowly spread out the red paper.

The brush lightly tapped into the inkstone, and the tip of the brush was instantly dyed golden.

Xueyue held the brush and moved it steadily. The brush was manipulated accurately by Xueyue like an extended limb, with a slow and steady speed.

After a while, four large golden characters were left on the paper:

【Unwavering Commitment】

Unlike Xueyue's petite figure, these four big characters appear vigorous and powerful, and have a natural feel.

"Okay, Abi-chan, stick this on the door frame."

"Ok!"

Abigail ran away happily with the red paper.

Ignoring the kids making noise at the door for the moment, Xueyue began to think about her next plan.

The current affairs in Fuyuki City have basically been dealt with. I have been here for a long time, and it is time to set off for a new world.

However, Xueyue’s power is now quite considerable, and the placement of Abigail and other heroes is also a problem.

However, the way that thing in Chaldea works did give Xueyue some inspiration.

(Yeah, why didn’t I think of that before?)

As long as the Shadow Garden is slightly modified, it can be transformed into a place to accommodate heroic spirits. Moreover, as the kingdom of God on the surface of Xueyue, the Shadow Garden is easier to transform, and there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient space.

In the previous Shadow Garden, Xueyue had only set up a living room-sized space to serve as a temporary resting point, but now with the stone statue of Tamamonomae and some items from the sail tower placed in it, it looks a bit messy.

Closing her eyes, Xueyue temporarily transferred her consciousness to the Shadow Garden in a form of [out-of-body experience] and began her transformation.

First, expand the space, then divide the area... As for personal space, retain a certain degree of freedom so that they can decorate it themselves...

After struggling for a while, Xueyue finally nodded with satisfaction. The scale of Shadow Garden has now reached the level of a large villa. In order to optimize the living environment, Xueyue has directly materialized several kilometers of scenery in the surrounding area. It also has grasslands, beaches, woods and other terrains. The current Shadow Garden is more like a resort than a kingdom of God.

"Okay, that's all~"

Xueyue clapped her hands, quite satisfied with the results of the transformation.

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

"I will be setting off for a new world soon, and as I promised before, I will give you corresponding rewards based on your performance in the Holy Grail War."

After logging the information of the heroes in the Shadow Court, the heroes have already started to decorate their rooms in the Shadow Court. Xueyue intends to take this opportunity to fulfill her previous promise.

Chapter 178 Ruby and Sapphire

"Eh?!"

Abigail, Illya, and Xueying all cried out in surprise at the same time.

"Is what I said so strange... or do you think I forgot and want to shirk my responsibility?"

Xueyue never expected the three little ones to react so strongly.
