But this time, the target they are looking for is no longer Chaldea's other master, Fujimaru Ritsuka, but Scathach!
"Scathach—"
"This is Ian!"
"Although I don't know why you appear here, but since fate has brought us together again, let's obey its arrangements!"
"if you can--"
"It's not impossible for us to hold the wedding here again!"
"So if you hear it, please follow it to the United Kingdom."
Such a sound played back and forth over the United Kingdom several times like a tape recorder.
Ian was sure that even the children hiding at home could hear these words at this moment.
Will you come?
The man had such concerns in his mind.
But he quickly rejected the idea by shaking his head.
It’s not a question of coming or not!
But Scathach must know!
If once is not enough, then do it twice, three times, or even a thousand times.
No matter what, he had to get Scathach to his side.
but--
Fate is not that cruel.
After Ian's massive broadcast looking for his wife played back and forth for several hours, all the arrangements came to fruition.
I saw a figure appear in the United Kingdom.
"Ian."
"You are here too."
Scathach, holding the Gae Bolg Alternative, stood on a tall building.
"My intuition...is right!"
609. Scathach's Rooftop Battle Record/The Cause of the Destruction of the Shadow Kingdom (4k)
As Ian used the United Kingdom's helicopters, Scathach also appeared in this city full of skyscrapers.
Holding the Gae Bolg Alternative in her hand, she looked at the scene in front of her and seemed a little confused for a moment.
Fortunately-
Scathach was confused, but Ian was not at all ambiguous.
He was always paying attention to visitors from the United Kingdom, and he noticed the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom almost the moment she appeared.
Again.
The helicopters that were originally used to publicize the information about the search for Scathach have now become Ian's "celebrators" to welcome her.
This was something that both Helena and Edison acquiesced to.
"Scathach—"
"If you're there, please proceed to the highest floor in this area."
"I'll wait for you on the rooftop there."
"..."
This unique way of conveying information made Scathach's mouth curl up slightly.
She knew that only Ian would put so much thought into something like this.
"Yeah...I'll be right there."
Scathach said this to the sky.
"Ian, wait for me."
Then, she grasped the Gae Bolg Alternative and disappeared into the streets. Her goal was the tallest building in the United Kingdom.
after a while.
Ian stood on the top of the building, admiring the scenery below alone.
This scene that was ahead of its time still made him feel a little sad.
This feeling is even stronger when you are in a foreign country.
only--
The man also knew that now was not the time to appreciate such things, and he also understood that such scenery should not exist.
Singularities are things that should be eliminated!
There was a sound of wind blowing by.
Ian's ears twitched slightly.
Then he reached back and held a familiar hand.
"As expected... it's you."
"...How do you know?" Scathach's voice came from behind Ian.
She looked at the hand in front of her that was holding hers, her eyes filled with tenderness that she would never normally have.
"I didn't make any sound, did I?"
"But this doesn't affect my awareness of your presence—Scathach, you don't think I can't sense you, do you?"
The man's voice was full of charm, and it sounded like he knew Scathach very well.
"We... have been living together for that long, right?"
"But I clearly wanted to give you a surprise--" Scathach's voice had a hint of coquettish reproach.
"Now, it's all gone."
"..."
"Okay." Ian let go of Scathach's hand, "Then let's start over - just pretend I didn't notice you at all."
"……it is good."
And so, Scathach approached Ian again.
Then, the tall woman hugged her husband from behind and whispered.
"Ian...I missed you so much."
"Me too, Scathach."
The cold wind blew past the two of them, but there was not a trace of chill.
The two people who met again in the singularity of the United Kingdom felt their love for each other.
After being gentle for a while, Ian turned around and looked at Scathach in front of him, his tone full of doting.
"All right."
"That should be about right. Of course, if it's not enough, that's fine. We can make up for it later."
"But now, can you answer my question first, Scathach?"
"..."
"Yes." The Queen of Shadow Kingdom nodded. "Ask me. If I know, I will answer you as soon as possible."
"Okay, first question then."
Ian looked at Scathach in front of him and asked.
"Tell me first, why are you here?"
"Shadow Country...what exactly happened?"
This is the most core and critical issue at present.
If this is not clarified, Scathach's appearance before us will become confusing.
"Ian..." Scathach had no intention of hiding anything from her husband.
She spoke very clearly and crisply.
"You should still remember what happened before you left the Shadow Kingdom, right?"
"..."
With Scathach's hint, Ian recalled a little and then realized something.
"Was it the last fire?"
At the end of that simulation, Ian remembered that the Shadow Kingdom suffered an unprecedented fire.
That is an existence that even people like Scathach would be afraid of.
And it was at this time that Maeve appeared in the Shadow Kingdom.
In this way, everything is explained clearly.
And that is indeed the case.
As Ian expressed his guess, Scathach quickly nodded.
"Hmm..." Scathach took a deep breath and seemed to be still frightened by the past events.
"That fire took away everything in the Shadow Kingdom, and it also gave Maeve, who was originally imprisoned, an opportunity to escape."
"After all—I can't just sit there and watch the citizens of Shadow Country literally die because of this fire and not let them leave here."
"If you were Ian, you would understand me, right?"
"..."
Ian now understood everything.
Maeve was not a servant who came here because of the Holy Grail, but she escaped to this singularity after encountering such a fire in the Land of Shadows.
Of course, it will take some time to figure out how this process is achieved - but it is enough to just know that this is the fact.
When she came to this singularity, she might have imagined building her own country once again.
That is why the red dragon and so many Celtic legions were created after obtaining the Holy Grail.
If you think about it this way, then the mead that can bewitch people probably has the same effect, right?
Thinking further, the reason why Scathach provided help to Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji was probably because she accidentally released Maeve from the prison in the Shadow Kingdom.
But if this happens, there will be a new problem.
That is what Scathach's own purpose is.
"Then Scathach, the reason you appeared here, is it to bring Maeve back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ian felt that the possibility of this happening was too low.
After all, if you really want to deal with that woman named Maeve, it would be better to let her die in the Shadow Kingdom along with the fire from the beginning.
There must be a deeper reason behind this.
And this is indeed the case.
After Ian finished speaking, Scathach first nodded, then shook her head.
"That's arguably the case, but not entirely."
"She told me that it was possible to restore the Shadow Kingdom to its original state, but now it seems that it was just a lie to deceive me."
At this point, Scathach showed a slightly ashamed expression. In a sense, this actually verified the idea Ian had just put forward.
"never mind."
