Why are all the people in my chat group rumored to be from the outside world?

"Hey! Why...why are we tearing it down?"

Sajō Aika tilted her head and said, "Because after being destroyed, there was nothing left in the Greater Grail. Some of us thought that leaving it in this world would only bring more trouble, so it would be better to just dismantle it and be done with it."

Seeing Rin Tohsaka's anxious face, Aika smiled and said, "If you have any different opinions, you can head to Ryudouji Temple now. My friends are probably still there farming Servants."

Liudong Temple, inside the large cave.

Merlin, standing in front of the magic circle, felt incredibly guilty.

The staff touched the ground.

The servant summoning circle at his feet immediately began to flash.

Soon, a large eyeball that seemed to want to praise Joan of Arc appeared on the magic circle. Before it could say anything, Ember swung his sword and chopped off its head.

Looking at his overflowing soul collector, Ember couldn't help but curl up his lips.

Type-Moon is truly a blessed land!

Volume 1: Chapter 101 Doctor: What does it mean that Kal'tsit wants to recognize a mother?

The Greater Grail is ultimately just a device, and devices are bound to malfunction.

On that night of reckless abandon, after being subjected to extreme magical exploitation, the essence of the Greater Grail had become completely ruined; it was practically worthless.

Even if Ember and the others don't take action to dismantle it, it's impossible for it to sustain another Holy Grail War.

Moreover, the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City showed a clear lack of magical energy after that night's frenzied consumption.

Sixty years? That's probably far from enough to replenish the Greater Grail's mana through naturally regenerating ley lines.

Unless... some extraordinary miracle occurs.

"No! Stop! Stop!" Rin Tohsaka's cries echoed. The Tohsaka family's generations-long dream was about to vanish, yet she could only be pulled back and forth by Shirou Emiya and Shinji Matou, like a helpless husband, watching Merlin and Ayaka dismantle the Greater Grail device bit by bit. Heartbreaking tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall...

Just then, a black card was suddenly handed to her.

Rin Tohsaka was startled, her tearful eyes staring blankly at the person in front of her, Hoshi.

……what's the situation?

"There are over three billion in this card." Hoshino said expressionlessly, her tone completely flat, as she handed the card directly to Rin Tohsaka.

"Take it and leave the Greater Grail."

After saying that, she turned and left decisively.

Three billion or more?

Rin Tohsaka stared incredulously at the card in her hand.

What does that mean? Do you think you can use over 3 billion to make the Tohsaka family give up their long-cherished wish?

She really wanted to yell at the other person! But... you have a really good eye for people!

With the Greater Grail already in this state, what chance is there to salvage it?

People always have to look forward. Why let a completely broken device affect the deep feelings between each other?

Emiya Shirou and Matou Shinji watched as Rin Tohsaka held the black card, her eyes vacant, a strange smile unconsciously curving her lips, lost in some indescribable fantasy. Both of them couldn't help but twitch their lips.

Just a moment ago, they were shouting with a death wish, "If you want to dismantle the Greater Grail, you'll have to get past me first," and "For the sake of the Tohsaka family's long-cherished wish, I must stop you," but now... heh heh.

Neither of them had any particular desire for the Greater Grail, and they didn't even know why they were participating in the Holy Grail War. However, it was still a little regrettable that at the moment the Greater Grail broke, the Servants summoned in this Holy Grail War could not maintain their manifestation and had returned to the Throne of Heroes, thus bringing the Holy Grail War to a complete end.

Merlin, who had successfully helped dismantle the Holy Grail as a second-in-command, symbolically wiped away non-existent sweat.

"Well... everyone, I've done my best and fulfilled my duties. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, thanks for your help this time. Let's have a meal together sometime." Yu Jin, who had made a fortune on this trip, waved to the other party with a big smile.

"Certainly, certainly." Merlin gave an elegant bow.

After leaving those words, his figure transformed into flower petals and drifted away.

Moments later, in a forest far from Fuyuki City, the petals reformed into his likeness.

He turned back to look in the direction of Fuyuki City, a complex emotion on his face: "This experience... is truly indescribable."

Who could have imagined that, given the extent of the beastly activity, the situation could be calmed down so quickly?

Even he was slightly surprised.

When he rushed over, he was even prepared to exhaust all his magic power and let the sea of ​​flowers flood the entire Fuyuki City, in order to forcibly open a path to victory for everyone.

As it turned out, his appearance... seemed to save the day, and he dismantled the Holy Grail, but other than that... it seems he didn't really play any decisive role?

"Never mind." Merlin shrugged, his cynical smile returning to his face.

"In short, another day has passed, which is cause for celebration."

-

After everyone in the group finished dealing with the end of the Holy Grail War, the real remaining issues surfaced.

Ember, Doctor, Kevin, Hoshi, and Mei, except for Sajō Aika who was with her younger sister, were all sitting around a table, carefully examining a piece of paper in the middle of the table.

Ember picked up the item and said, "You mean this is something that appeared after we used the Heavenly Rank Battle Skill: Ghost Possession?"

The doctor nodded.

The group of people who had felt exhilarated and powerful at the time suddenly gasped in shock.

The exhilaration vanished, leaving only a chilling fear – it was truly like being possessed by a ghost!

Wasn't it Orb who borrowed power?

"I was wondering why it felt so strange. Every time I used that card, I was fully conscious, but my body... it always felt so awkward to control! It was like I was the one moving, but it was also like... something else was doing it for me?" Kevin hugged his arms and shuddered.

“I do seem to have that feeling, but I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time.” Xing scratched her cheek and then looked at Yu Jin.

"how are you feeling?"

"It feels pretty much the same as what you guys said? But I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After all, using powerful energy has side effects, which felt quite normal. Now..." Yu Jin looked at the small note.

This is advice: try not to use that thing. Also, be careful of Hai Si, be careful of... Luo.

"...It's best to take this advice and use this thing less often in the future. This time, it might have attracted someone who's easy to talk to. But if it brings about some kind of disastrous outcome next time, that won't be fun."

Everyone nodded unanimously.

“Speaking of which…” The Doctor pointed at Ember, and after Ember looked at him, he said, “What do those last two sentences mean? Be careful of Hai Si, and who is Luo? Do I know him?”

Yu Jin's gaze became somewhat subtle: "You two used to be colleagues, but as for now... it's hard to say."

The gossip radar went off instantly! All thoughts of possession and warning notes were thrown to the winds.

Kevin: "Explain in detail."

Star: "Add one."

Mei: "Add one."

Doctor: "...Could you please show some respect?"

The three completely ignored the doctor's protest and continued to fix their curious gazes on Ember.

Yu Jin coughed lightly and slowly began to speak, looking at the few people who wanted to hear the story.

"Lo is the Doctor's most adorable junior, and also the mother that Kal'tsit wanted to recognize."

The short sentence made the air instantly silent.

next second!

"What?" x3

The doctor's previously helpless expression, hidden beneath his hood, froze.

It's not some kind of ghost?

What do you mean by "my cutest junior"? What do you mean by "the mother Kal'tsit wants to recognize"? Who's framing me?

Wait! Oh no!

The doctor suddenly looked down at the Originium he was wearing around his neck!

It’s over!

Volume 1: Chapter 102 The Sajou Family's Meal and the Gift of Counterforce

Doctor, are you coming home for dinner tonight?

I'm not replying.

What does Kal'tsit wanting to acknowledge her as her mother have to do with him, the Doctor? To be honest, he's a complete stranger to her!

So... some people have to take responsibility for what they've done and what they've said. Kal'tsit, I'm not going to keep you company.

Hehe, I want to live!

"Prismus, you must believe me!"

"I don't know anyone named Luo either."

"Yes, I have amnesia. You're the only person I know, right?"

"so......"

Watching the Doctor repeatedly speak to the Originium necklace, trying to salvage the situation, everyone present felt... a sense of cover-up.

Forget it.

Precys loves the Doctor so much, he definitely wouldn't do anything to him, right?

"Doctor, you've had plenty of time. Hurry home, Priscilla is waiting for you at home for dinner." Ember waved his hand.

"Don't let waiting become a regret. Go home and have dinner, Doctor." Kevin raised his fist at the Doctor.

“I’ll tell Aigo that I won’t leave you any dinner tonight, you should just go home and eat.” Xing gave a thumbs up.

Mei, the kindest of all, seemed a little reluctant to let it go. She bowed slightly to the Doctor, saying, "Doctor, you'll be alright..."

However, *sizzle*!

A flash of purple lightning streaked across her eyes, and her entire aura instantly shifted: "As for what it refers to, it's fine—I suggest you don't ask!"

"You bunch of bastards!"

The doctor felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest, and his grief-stricken accusations almost pierced the sky.

Why is it that this guy's damn curiosity makes him pay the price?

He watched helplessly as the four guys who had agreed to go to Sajou's house for dinner yelled, "Hey! Wait for me! You bunch of disloyal bastards!"

"You should go home. Oh, and please give my regards to Miss Luo." x3

"I already told you I don't know anyone named Luo!"

"Hehe~" x3

Hum hum ~

In the kitchen of the Sato family.

Wearing an apron, Sajou Aika hummed a lullaby as she picked up a kitchen knife and began preparing tonight's ingredients.

Ayaka Sajou stood outside the kitchen, looking like she'd seen a ghost.

Why is my stupid older sister, who hasn't stepped into the kitchen since she abandoned everything, suddenly going into the kitchen today?

Illusion?

Could it be that some magician attacked me?
