The touch of moist and soft lips came.
Gray's beautiful eyes were filled with mist, as if just doing this had already reached the girl's limit.
But she stared at him bravely: "Just like now... no matter what I do, it should be decided by my own will."
Alvin was stunned for a moment, but before he could say anything, he saw the girl lower her head and flee out of the room.
The clock tower is exceptionally quiet at night, with soft moonlight filtering through the white curtains.
Alvin sat under the dim desk lamp, looking at the girl who had left long ago, and subconsciously touched his lips again.
Although he had just been a little intimate with Morgan, and it was equivalent to kissing Grey...but the feeling now seemed completely different from when Morgan was clinging to Grey just now.
Recalling what the girl had just said, Alvin came back to his senses as if in a trance, and felt a little relieved.
If Alvin couldn't understand what Gray said just now, now... he felt that he could understand her meaning a little bit.
This kiss was indeed completely different from the one just now.
I didn't expect that this would be something that the girl who was usually a bit naturally weak could do... Alvin looked up at the silver-haired girl who had long gone away, his heart filled with sighs.
This exclamation did not last long, because soon Alvin heard light footsteps coming from not far away.
Alvin couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly stood up and walked to the door.
As he opened the door, he smiled and said, "What's wrong, Gray? Did you forget to bring anything?"
As he spoke, Alvin looked up.
Then, the smile on his face gradually faded.
Aika Sajou...and Lenise.
[Congratulations host, you have triggered the special CG, Clock Tower Shura Field]
At this time, the system kindly popped up a reminder.
Alvin's eyelids twitched heavily.
If you didn't remind me earlier, what's the point of your broken system reminding me now?!

Chapter 151 Preparations for the Fifth Holy Grail War.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed unknowingly.
Alvin has been basically safe these two days...at least he hasn't encountered any problems with his life safety.
But when it comes to emotions, he has a huge headache.
Two days had passed since the incident between Grey and Alvin. Alvin had no idea when Lenise and Aigo were at his door, nor did he know if they had heard anything going on inside the house at that time.
However, judging from Ai Ge's meaningful look at that time, it was obvious that she had noticed something.
Fortunately, this is the clock tower. If it were somewhere else, Alvin might have been experiencing the small dark room tour by now.
But even if the two girls didn't investigate further, Alvin didn't have an easy time these past two days... Originally, the relationship between him and Lenise had warmed up a lot, but after what happened with Gray in the house that day, Lenise's attitude towards Alvin suddenly became a lot more subtle.
Even in class, there was little conversation between Alvin and Lenise.
The time for the return journey was getting closer and closer. That afternoon, after class, Kenneth called Alvin to his office.
The Department of Minerals has separate teaching and laboratory buildings, and Kenneth's office is deep inside the teaching building.
When Alvin arrived as promised and opened the door, he saw a man with blond hair sitting at a desk, flipping through the documents on the table.
"Teacher, do you have something to ask me?"
Alvin walked into the house and asked respectfully.
"What's going on between you and Lanis these past two days?"
Kenneth didn't look up, his tone quite casual.
"I'm not sure... maybe I made her angry at some point."
Alvin said.
He couldn't possibly tell Kenneth that your sister probably knew what happened between Gray and I in the room last time, so she's angry, right?
I thought Kenneth would continue to ask questions, but fortunately he didn't dwell on it. Instead, he changed the subject lightly: "You and Sajo Aika are getting along well, right?"
Did Director Ken come here just to gossip today? That doesn't really suit his personality... Alvin couldn't help but wonder, but he nodded. "...Not bad."
Kenneth stood up and walked to the tea table beside him and took out a bag of black tea.
He placed the tea leaves in the pot, watching the steam rising from the hot water, and said slowly, "During the last Holy Grail War, I witnessed the power of the Root with my own eyes... That girl possessed a power that was enough to drive countless magi crazy."
"...She should be coming for you, right?"
Before Alvin could speak, Kenneth said quietly, "There have been several clashes between the monarchs of the Clock Tower over the past two days. Are you aware of this?"
Alvin thought to himself, I have been so overwhelmed by the affairs of Lanise and Aige these past two days that I have no time to pay attention to what is happening outside.
He put on an expression of listening attentively and said, "I've been busy these past two days and haven't heard anything about it."
"What's going on...?"
Alvin continued to ask.
"The original purpose of building the Clock Tower was ultimately to preserve heritage... All the major mage families place immense value on inheritance. Although magicians often operate in the shadows, within the Clock Tower, reputation is essential for a family's growth."
"A good student may play a crucial role in strengthening the family in the future... This is one of the reasons why I accepted you as my disciple."
When Alvin heard this, he had already vaguely thought of something in his mind, and subconsciously said: "Are you looking for me about Ai Ge's teacher...?"
Not every student in the Clock Tower will have a "monarch" as a teacher, but if you are gifted or a monarch likes you, he or she may also accept you as a disciple.
Aika Sajo joined the Clock Tower three days ago, and from the day she joined, the Clock Tower's monarch had been targeting her.
After all, a student who was able to join the Clock Tower as an exception... no matter how you look at it, his talent must be amazing.
Moreover, the girl's outstanding reaction to the theoretical knowledge of magic in the Clock Tower these days has proved her talent.
But I didn’t expect Kenneth to also fall in love with Ai Ge... Doesn’t he know how dangerous Ai Ge is?
Because she lacked proper guidance and education since childhood, Aika Sajo's values are completely different from those of ordinary people.
Such a girl is actually like a time bomb that may explode if you are not careful.
Kenneth clearly knew how Kamatou Zouken died when he was in Fuyuki... Why would he want to take her in as his disciple now?
"I wasn't the one who wanted to take Sajo Aika as his disciple."
As if he could see what Alvin was thinking, Kenneth said quietly, "It's my teacher, Uriphis."
Alvin was slightly startled, and recalled the old man with white hair and always a gloomy look in his mind.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "She is actually not suitable to have any monarch as her teacher."
On the one hand, it's Aika Sajo's personality, and on the other hand... You know, the Clock Tower is a gathering place for magicians, and Aika Sajo's magic circuits are too special. If a monarch realizes that her magic circuits are connected to the "root", it might attract a lot of covetousness.
Kenneth didn't seem surprised by Alvin's answer. He pondered for a moment and nodded, "I'll help you turn this down."
For Kenneth, he doesn't care about other people at all, but Aika Sajo has a close relationship with Alvin.
And he did this for selfish reasons... The only reliable heir to the El-Melloi family now is Kenneth. As for Lanis, her talent as a magician is actually far from enough to inherit the family.
If anything were to happen to him in the future, if Alvin were there, at least the El-Melloi family would not completely withdraw from the Clock Tower.
“Is it okay…?”
Alvin asked tentatively.
You know, although this monarch of the mineral department always shows an extremely arrogant attitude in front of people, he actually feels an inexplicable pressure when facing his teacher and father-in-law.
Failure in this Holy Grail War must have disappointed Uriphis. If he couldn't even handle this...
"You, a child, don't need to worry about my affairs."
Kenneth put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I know what you're thinking... You think that this defeat in the Holy Grail War will significantly reduce my impression of you, teacher, right?"
Isn’t that the case... Alvin’s silence is golden.
"He probably knew something about the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki, but he didn't know that Sajo Aika was also the Master of this Holy Grail War."
Hearing this, Alvin secretly felt relieved for his teacher.
Anyone who knows the specific circumstances of the Fourth Holy Grail War would not think that Kenneth's Holy Grail War was a failure this time.
After all, for those Masters and even Servants at that time... being able to leave Fuyuki alive was already a skill.
When thinking of this, Alvin inexplicably thought of Illya and Sakura Matou who were still in Fuyuki.
Several days have passed since then, and they should have stabilized... I wonder how they are doing now?
"It's time to return to Ancient Britain this afternoon. You have to be careful on this trip back."
Kenneth suddenly said.
Alvin came back to his senses and asked subconsciously: "Why do you say that?"
"Do you know what a magician pursues his whole life?"
Kenneth did not answer, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
Alvin pondered for a moment and said without hesitation: "The root."
Magicians have been pursuing the root throughout their lives. They believe that as long as they touch the root, they will become "God" in the true sense. This is also the real reason why Alvin does not want the secret of Aika Sajo's connection to the root to be exposed.
Kenneth nodded. "In the past, the secret of the Fuyuki Holy Grail System was guarded by the Tōsaka, Matou, and Einzbern families. However, after the last Holy Grail War, this secret has been revealed to many outsiders."
"There's been a rumor circulating in the Clock Tower these past few days... that obtaining the Greater Holy Grail will qualify you to reach the Origin."
Alvin was shocked and said subconsciously: "But hasn't the Holy Grail been destroyed?"
Kenneth shook his head. "My teacher told me not long ago that the Holy Grail has been restored to its original state."
"It's just that the Fourth Holy Grail War has just ended, and the Greater Holy Grail System hasn't completely cooled down yet... But this also means that people from all walks of life will have more opportunities to prepare for the Holy Grail War."
"And the holy relics are the goal of these people."
Alvin frowned slightly, suddenly realizing the implication of Kenneth's words. He whispered, "So you're saying... that these travelers will try to obtain the Holy Relics when they travel to Ancient Britain for the Holy Grail War?"
In the past, magicians from all sides had only two ways to obtain holy relics. One was the auctions held by the ancient nobles... and the other was intelligence.
The burial places of some extremely powerful and famous heroes may be accompanied by the "holy relics" they left behind.
And now, some magicians have a third way to obtain holy relics.
——After traveling to ancient Britain, obtain the holy relics directly there.
After roughly sorting out the details, Alvin suddenly remembered something important and asked, "Are you still planning to participate in the next Holy Grail War?"
Kenneth raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why, are you worried about me going to Fuyuki?"
"Of course I'm well aware of Sensei's strength... I was just wondering, the last Holy Grail War caused such a big commotion, I wonder if the next one will be even worse..."
Alvin said.
He first expressed his approval of Kenneth, and then gently reminded him not to be impulsive.
Although Alvin successfully got Kenneth back to the Clock Tower last time...but in fact, the Holy Grail War that time was already a bit dangerous.
If it happens again, Alvin cannot guarantee whether the world line will converge, causing Kenneth to die tragically in the Holy Grail War.
Kenneth was silent and thoughtful for a moment. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "You go back first. I'll think about it."
During the Fourth Holy Grail War, the once arrogant Clock Tower Lord had actually seen the enormous risks...extremely powerful Servants, and even Masters whose strength could be called cheating level.
If the next Holy Grail War is still like this...is it really necessary to participate in the Holy Grail War?
Kenneth looked up out the window. The brilliant afternoon sun shone on the man's face, and his angular features were full of thought and hesitation.
……
Fuyuki.
"cough……"
Another heavy cough was heard. In the Tohsaka family's mansion, the man who was wearing home clothes and sleeping in bed covered his mouth and coughed, his face full of fatigue.
Toosaka Tokiomi.
After the last battle at Mount Enzo, although he escaped the tragic end of being 'backstabbed' by his disciple, he was still cursed by the Avenger in the black mud because he touched it. Although nothing happened on the first night, starting from the second day, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt unwell and weak.
