Lu Kang's choice of the Far East was not without reason. It was not only because the Far East was far from Europe and did not currently have much influence from the Church and the Magic Association, but also because it was the place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, Fuyuki City. Furthermore, it was now 1918, and Japan, having undergone reform and modernization, had fully risen and was beginning to accumulate strength in preparation for the inhumane war of aggression that would follow. He came to try to interrupt this process of accumulating strength.

To try it out on my own.

Of course, that's another purpose.

An attempt to understand things as a time traveler.

Lu Kang was never great, but if he could, he would try to stop the killing and prevent the disaster.

And besides that...

“The people from the Far East may not be the best, but the scenery is beautiful, making it a great place to get married,” Lu Kang said without batting an eye.

"Marriage...it sounds really nice—marriage, um? Marriage, marriage???" Anastasia's face suddenly flushed with embarrassment: "Your Majesty..."

"That's right,"

Lu Kang looked directly into the princess's light blue eyes and said earnestly, "Let's get married when we get to the Far East."

Marrying without any ulterior motives.

A contract concluded without any self-interest.

Just as in Anastasia's mind, Lu Kang will always be her lord.

The girl in front of me.

In his eyes, she will always be that charming and lovely princess who needs to be cared for.

Isn't it only natural for people to go from acquaintances to lovers?

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Hall of Records, Academy City

Anastasia seemed surprised and shy when you proposed, but she didn't reject you; instead, she nodded silently.

Having already expressed your feelings for each other more than once, you were both mentally prepared for this day.

You two embraced on the deck of the cruise ship, watching the sea.

[A few days later]

In mid-March 1918, during the peak cherry blossom season in the Far East, a cruise ship from the former Tsarist country, now known as Soviet Russia, slowly sailed into its destination port.

Your destination is—a Far Eastern port city called Fuyuki.

As you disembark from the cruise ship, you look at this bustling city. Fuyuki City is an ancient city, divided into two parts by the Mien River. To the south is a bustling modern city, while to the north is an ancient castle town area that has been established since the Warring States period hundreds of years ago.

This place is both ancient and prosperous; as a first-time visitor, you'll truly feel the immense natural magic that lies beneath this soil.

The princesses were very interested in the exotic city scenery they had never seen before.

Tell them

You will settle here.

[You had already decided on your place to settle down, but before that, you followed the rules of the mystical world and paid respects to the local sanctuary church and the ley line manager—]

[Kotomine Church and the Tohsaka Family]

...

"Mr. Lu Kang, you're too kind." In the ancient church, the high-hanging cross stands majestically, and the midday sun shining through the high windows falls precisely on the top of the cross, reflecting a smooth and sacred glow. Amidst the dust scattering under the reflection of the light, the elderly priest with his upright posture greets the visitors with utmost respect.

He said, "I have long heard of your great name—it is truly an honor for our poor and remote place that you have come to visit us."

"Your great name?" The young man facing the old priest was also dressed in a heavy, black priest's robe, and was also tall and slender, but his young and handsome face had a slightly joking expression: "Father Kotomine, you've probably heard of his infamous reputation, haven't you?"

"Speaking of which, when I visited the Tohsaka family this morning, the head of the Tohsaka family had the same attitude as you!"

"You're joking, you're joking!" Father Kotomine trembled slightly upon hearing this, feeling a chill run down his spine and his inner lining instantly soaked with sweat.

Heaven has mercy. He was just a minor local church administrator. Although he was somewhat special because of the abundant magical power of the underground spiritual veins in Fuyuki, how could he possibly remain calm in the face of such a 'big shot' who supposedly forced the church and the Magicians' Association to unite but were still helpless against?

He was terrified that the other party might accidentally crush him to death if they were unhappy.

“Father Kotomine, there’s no need to be so nervous. To be honest, in terms of church hierarchy, I’m still below you!” Lu Kang waved his hand.

Father Kotomine broke out in a cold sweat even more.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, when a young, clear voice came from the doorway behind Lu Kang.

"Father, who is this gentleman...?"

Lu Kang turned his head and saw a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old walking over with steady steps, young but with a solemn expression.

“Li Zheng, do not be rude—” Father Kotomine was about to tell the boy to be more respectful.

Lu Kang laughed: "Kotomine Risei?"

“I’ve heard that the Kotomine family has been the administrators of the Fuyuki City Church for generations, but they have all had children late in life—is this your ‘eldest son’?”

“He’s a very good young man.” Lu Kang glanced at Yan Feng Lizheng and said, “But you don’t need to be so nervous.”

"After all, I'm just here to stay."

“From now on, as long as you don’t bother me, I won’t do anything to you—whatever you do is none of my business.”

In such words.

The young man strode away.

As the invisible pressure disappeared, the old priest in the church finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He looked at the boy who had just brushed past Lu Kang, now standing frozen in place—his son.

He said, "Li Zheng...did you remember what he said?"

"...You must follow this!"

Kotomine Ryougi was puzzled, but faced with his father's solemn attitude, he finally nodded.

Father Kotomine was finally relieved.

He looked up at the sky exposed through the windows high up in the church, feeling the bone-chilling coldness from the dampness on his back, unsure whether he should feel helpless or relieved.

Unfortunately, an uninvited guest arrived in Fuyuki City that day.

Fortunately, that person didn't seem to know the secret that Fuyuki was hiding.

Unbeknownst to many, the ritual known as the 'Holy Grail War' was quietly unfolding beneath this underground...

However, what Father Kotomine didn't know was that the very thing Lu Kang was thinking about the moment he stepped out of the church was exactly what was on his mind.

The Holy Grail War exists in Fuyuki.

This is a significant chapter in the world known as Type-Moon.

He certainly knew this.

That was one of the reasons he chose to come here...

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have come to visit on purpose.

He thought it would be very interesting to use the Holy Grail War ritual, which was constructed with the vast magical power of the earth's ley lines, and to combine the incomplete magical power of Einzbern of the German Empire to materialize souls, in order to summon past heroic spirits and use them as familiars to fight for him.

Seven 'Masters'.

The 'Servants' transformed from the seven Heroic Spirits.

The final winner will be determined.

He held up the Holy Grail, which contained immense magical power—

He would like to participate in such a ceremony if given the opportunity.

Having already visited the Tohsaka family, Lu Yasushi pondered this.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Matou family, another prestigious family in Fuyuki City, knew about his arrival in advance and avoided him, not being at home.

Thinking this, you left Fuyuki Church. Outside the church, the silver-haired princess stood at the door, waiting for you to emerge.

You took her hand and left.

You lead her to the residence you've chosen for the princesses.

It exists in Fuyuki City.

[But this is not how Fuyuki City is seen by ordinary people]

[It is, rather, the legacy of the empire—the 'Tsar's Palace,' imbued with a mystical concept under the immense and mysterious influence of the phantom spirit that Nicholas II manifested before his death.]

That is a conceptual palace that only Princess Anastasia, who has signed a contract with an elf and possesses imperial blood, can summon.

But you also signed a contract with Anna.

[More than just a contract to share a spirit, it's a marriage pact to share a lifetime]

So you can do it too.

Many imperial palaces existed within the former Tsarist territory.

【then】

On this day, you summoned all these palaces from the realm of mystery in Dongmu and pieced them together.

You pieced them together into a whole and placed it on Fuyuki. You created a brand new city, covering the dimension above Fuyuki City, forming a fixed miniature world egg—which is also a fixed inherent bounded space.

This brand-new city is only accessible to a select few.

This will be the residence of the princesses.

You call it 'Academy City'

[It is the promised land of mind magic]

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Simulation Ends, and the Sound of Bloodline Awakening Arrives?

[Creating 'Academy City' was an idea you had before—when you created Mind Magic and the Book of Law]

The magic system you created, after all, combines the taboos of miracles and magic, and is neither recognized by the Church nor accepted by the Magic Association. Therefore, you need an absolutely safe place to store your knowledge.

You have poured all the knowledge and skills you have acquired in your life into Academy City.

A total of 103,000 books.

[You held your pre-arranged wedding with Anna in Academy City. There were only three people in the audience: the other three residents of Academy City and the other three princesses.]

In 1918, you were twenty-three years old, and Anna was nineteen.

You had a wonderful night.

[After that, your life revolved around practicing magic and traveling between Academy City and Fuyuki City. You and Anna lived a peaceful and contented life together, and your life was harmonious and warm.]

Yes, you—you and the four princesses.

In 1927, the ambitious rulers of the Far East gradually revealed their intention to wage war abroad.

You orchestrated a mysterious assassination, but it was thwarted by external forces. You know this is either a world-correcting force called Human Reason, or a world-suppressing force that maintains the course of history.

But you did not give up.

In 1928, you joined forces with many like-minded young people to plan a mutiny within the Far East military.

Ultimately, it also ended in failure.

[In 1930, 1932, 1936... you traveled between the surface and the inner workings of the Far East, making various efforts, but ultimately you could not prevent the outbreak of war.]

[In 1937, after two decades of peace following the end of World War II, the Second World War broke out.]

During this time, you even missed the outbreak of the Holy Grail War.

[Mom's self-control]

[What You Think]

[But you ultimately succeeded, because your actions successfully attracted the attention of the Counter Force. However, you secretly cultivated resistance forces through 'Academy City' and informed the countries that were about to be invaded in advance of all their ambitions and conspiracies in the Far East.]

Although war is still inevitable, you have reduced many casualties.

You've already pushed yourself to the limit.

The war broke out quickly and ended quickly.

In 1945, the Far East surrendered, ending World War II. At the same time, you received news that the Magic Association and the Church had also participated in the war. They jointly attacked the instigators of the war and signed a ceasefire agreement after the war, no longer acting as enemies on the surface.

Your life returns to peace.
