Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

At this time, Sakura Tohsaka was watching anime on TV Tokyo.

Generally speaking, even in the event of a severe earthquake disaster, there would only be a small screen in the corner showing anime while a short news segment was played. But at this moment, the anime was paused and replaced by a news segment.

The news was playing a pre-recorded video.

It was a scene of a sphinx with golden wings and a body as dazzling as the starry sky, carrying a black-haired, black-eyed boy flying towards a sky temple.

Looking at the boy on the sphinx, Aoi Tohsaka's hand trembled, and the bowl in her hand fell into the pool.

However, Aoi Tohsaka paid no attention to any of this, not even bothering with the still-running faucet. She quickly walked out of the open kitchen and went to the television, staring intently at the boy in the not-so-clear image on the screen.

Yes.

Although she has grown from a child to a teenager, she would never mistake her for someone else.

This is Jiu'an!

“Mother, that’s my brother.” Sakura Tohsaka looked at her mother.

"Yes."

Aoi Tohsaka continued watching TV, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

But after that, there was no more information in the footage, just the video, and then the host and relevant experts talked and urged the public not to panic, saying that the government, the Self-Defense Forces and the United States Army had already taken measures and that the problem would be solved soon, etc.

"Mother, are you going to take my brother home?"

Aoi Tohsaka nodded.

Just as she was about to go upstairs, she saw her daughter, who was only seven years old this year.

Lin Jiu'an is currently in Tokyo. If she goes to find Lin Jiu'an, she will inevitably leave Sakura at home. Although her longing for Lin Jiu'an outweighs everything else, Tohsaka Aoi still finds it hard to let go of her daughter.

"Can Sakura go with Mother to find Brother?" Sakura looked at her mother longingly. "Sakura misses Brother so much too. Sakura won't cause Mother any trouble."

After hesitating for a moment, Aoi Tohsaka nodded: "Okay, Sakura, go pack your clothes first, and Mother, get ready, then we'll head to Tokyo."

"Thank you, Mother!" Sakura Tohsaka jumped off the sofa with a joyful expression and ran upstairs.

Watching Sakura Tohsaka run away, Aoi Tohsaka, while making a phone call to have her subordinates from the Tohsaka family find out about the situation in Tokyo, went to a room on the second floor and knocked on the door.

"come in."

Aoi Tohsaka opened the door and saw Gilgamesh sitting lazily on the sofa, drinking red wine and watching a movie.

Because of being "contaminated" by Lin Jiu'an, Gilgamesh still retains his physical body even after the Holy Grail War ends. Although maintaining his physical body consumes a lot of magical energy, Aoi Tohsaka, with the influence of the Tohsaka family in Fuyuki, has found a lot of "batteries" to supply Gilgamesh with his magic.

And as the contact time increases.

Aoi Tohsaka discovers that Gilgamesh is actually quite easy to get along with.

Even Aoi Tohsaka sometimes felt that serving Gilgamesh was much easier than serving Tokiomi Tohsaka. All she had to do was give this King of Heroes enough respect and fun, and he would become very easy to talk to.

"Your Majesty, I have found Jiu'an. He is now in Tokyo and has fallen into the hands of Osmandis."

"Osmandis?"

Gilgamesh swirled the wine in his glass, a smile playing on his lips.

"So, Aoi, what are your plans?"

"I want to go to Tokyo and bring him back."

Tohsaka Aoi lowered her head even further and said without hesitation, "But I need your help. Please help me bring him back."

······

Einzbern Castle.

living room.

Irisviel held the test report that the hospital had sent over that morning, her hand clenching slightly.

She is pregnant.

Despite being an artificial human and not being able to get pregnant, both the hospital reports and the examination by the magician that the kind-hearted man named Maris Billy asked her to arrange came to a surprisingly consistent conclusion.

She is pregnant.

The girl I was carrying.

As for who the girl's father is, there's no need to think too much about it. Since birth, Irisviel has only experienced one man.

"Jiu'an, where are you?"

Footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor. Irisviel hurriedly put away the pregnancy diagnosis she was holding, and just as she turned around, the door opened.

Artoria, dressed in casual clothes, walked in. Because she had consumed Lin Jiu'an's "substance" and was also filled with magic by Lin Jiu'an, Artoria now had a physical body like Gilgamesh and did not disappear with the end of the Holy Grail War.

Instead, she stayed by Irisviel's side.

"Alice, look at this."

At that moment, Artoria seemed to have discovered some good news, and quickly came to Irisviel's side with her phone in hand.

Irisviel had no interest whatsoever. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she had been able to barely tolerate the days when Lin Jiu'an was not by her side, and she found it increasingly difficult to accept her current life. She could not bear the thought that their child might be born without its father by her side.

However, Irisviel still managed a forced smile and looked at Artoria's phone.

"What…"

Irisviel's smile froze.

The phone showed a photo of a sphinx carrying a boy flying towards a sky temple. Although it was taken from a great distance and the resolution was very low for that era, the face was blurry like a mosaic.

It's impossible to tell who it is.

But the moment she saw that person, Irisviel had a gut feeling that it was Lin Jiu'an!

He's her daughter's father!

Where was this photo taken?

Irisviel immediately gripped Artoria's phone tightly, her face filled with excitement and nervousness.

"Ellie?"

Artoria was taken aback. She knew that Irisviel liked Lin Jiu'an very much, but was it really necessary to be this agitated?

However, Artoria didn't care about that. Instead, she said, "He seems to be in Ottomandis's hands in Tokyo. Gilgamesh and the others must have seen this photo. Let's go to Tokyo now."

"Let's go now!"

……

Kyoto.

Inside a quaint old house.

The swords clashed, and finally the katana landed just an inch from Natalia's neck.

"That's it for today."

Since the end of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War.

Sora somehow managed to persuade her father and El-Melloi's side thanks to Maris Billi's intervention.

Not only did he not hold the issues from the Fuyuki Holy Grail War against her, he also canceled the engagement and even designated her as the young head of the Sophia family, who would inherit the family's magic crest in the future.

He has now returned to the Clock Tower to continue his studies.

Natalia and Minamoto no Yorimitsu returned to the island after confirming that Sora was alright. They bought a house in Kyoto and, while inquiring about Lin Jiu'an, began learning swordsmanship from Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

'Ring ring.'

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Natalia picked up her phone and glanced at it; it was Sora calling.

The call had barely connected when Sora's urgent voice came through before Natalia could even utter a sound.

"Natalia, have you seen today's news from Japan?"

Hearing Sora's urgent voice, Natalia also became serious: "Not yet, is something important?"

"We've found Lin Jiu'an."

Sora's tone was anxious: "He was participating in the Holy Grail War in Tokyo, and now he's in Omendis's hands!" Sora's tone was tinged with anger: "That guy not only erected her Noble Phantasm Temple in the sky above Tokyo Bay so that everyone could see her, but he's also said to be marrying Kuan in three days!"

"what?!"

Natalia's face was filled with shock.

"The Magic Association and the Holy Church don't care?"

The main reason the Holy Grail War can only be held at night is to conceal its mystery.

This is a rule established jointly by the Magic Association and the Church.

The reason no one has disobeyed so far is that all those who have disobeyed have been dealt with by the bounty hunters and agents sent by the Magic Association and the Holy Church. In the underworld, the two are like the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War; no one dares to disobey their common orders.

"The US Navy stationed in Japan intervened, but she wiped out the entire fleet with a single blow."

"The Holy Church and the Mage's Association prefer to leave it to the Masters and Servants to handle, but the Servants summoned this time are all special. No one listens to the Holy Church at all, and they don't even care about the Holy Church's Command Seals rewards. The mission has been posted for hours and no one has responded."

After a pause, Sora said helplessly, "According to the preliminary investigation by the Mage's Association, the intensity of this Holy Grail War is even greater than ours."

"The known Servants include Brunhilde, the chief Valkyrie under Odin in Norse mythology; Atalanta, the huntress in Greek mythology; Morgan le Fay, the witch in Arthurian legend; Miyamoto Musashi, the strongest swordsman in Japan; Shuten-dōji, the demon king of Mount Ōe; and Pharaoh Osmandis."

"Furthermore, Morgan, through unknown means, illegally summoned several unrecorded knights;"

"Miyamoto Musashi's Master has also killed Brunhilde's Master and taken control of Brunhilde."

Natalia felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

I also understand why the Holy Church and the Magic Association didn't intervene even though the situation had become so dire.

Is this really a Holy Grail War that humans can fight?

Each of these six Servants, even the seemingly weakest one, Miyamoto Musashi, would have been able to quickly sweep aside the other six in past Holy Grail Wars. Yet here, he has become the least famous one.

"I understand. I'll go to Tokyo with Lai Guang right now."

"Please be careful. I can't leave right now, so I'm counting on you this time. I'll send you information about this Holy Grail War to your phone in a bit."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Sora and asking her to book the train tickets, Natalia then turned to Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

"Do you have a chance of winning against these Servants?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu nodded and then shook his head: "I can try anyone except Osmandis and Morgan, but only one-on-one."

Natalia couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Holy Grail War had clearly reached a fever pitch, and apart from Osmanthus, none of the truly difficult opponents were solo Servants. With Minamoto no Yorimitsu alone, she simply couldn't save Lin Jiu'an.

After hesitating for a moment, Natalia looked at Minamoto no Yorimitsu and asked, "Can you accept sharing Kyuan with another woman?"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu pursed his cherry lips, his expression somewhat unwilling.

She naturally didn't want to share her child with other women, but the problem was that she couldn't rescue the child from those bad women on her own. Besides, she was getting along quite well with Natalia and Sora.

"Gilgamesh is no good."

"it is good."

Natalia breathed a sigh of relief and immediately picked up her phone to make a call.

The call was quickly connected, and a gentle female voice came from the other end.

"Is this Miss Irisviel?"

"Yes, are you?"

"I am Natalia, Caster's Master in the last Holy Grail War."

Irisviel's tone instantly became somewhat unfriendly and wary.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"You've heard about Jiu'an being in Tokyo, haven't you?"

Irisviel was silent for a long while on the phone before asking, "So?"

"I want to join forces with you."

Natalia said, "That Holy Grail War has become public knowledge..."

Natalia relayed the information she had received from Sora to Irisviel, without going into too much detail, only briefly mentioning the Servants who participated in the battle.

"We can't take Jiu'an back from them by one person alone."
