Waiting for Our Next Reunion / Servant Summoning in Progress...
Smack!
It was the sound of a foot stepping into a shallow puddle, but what followed was a tremendous change: the dark clouds, rain, and cold wind centered on the girl were all driven away.
The sunlight dispelled all darkness and cold; its blazing rays were even more dazzling than the Golden Tree. The abundant moisture in the air condensed into tiny droplets, refracting the direct sunlight into brilliant rainbows.
This was not the end but the beginning. As Fujimaru Ritsuka's footsteps drew closer, more of the gloom was dispelled. Countless wild grasses on the ground seemed to have drunk their fill of rainwater and broke through the soil, growing at an astonishing speed. In no time, the land was lush and green.
Fujimaru Kyoya understood that this was not something the girl in front of him could change on her own. This place was ultimately a landscape of his mind, his inner world, and only he himself could change it.
This is proof that Fujimaru Kyoya gradually accepting the person in front of him. The Rhongomyniad's Rainy Night responds to the changes in his heart, and he walks out of that sad moment, out of the final chapter of the Knight's life Lloyd.
There was no rain left to protect him, no armor to protect him; the sword pierced Fujimaru Kyoya's body, delivering a fatal blow.
I lost, I died, but... why don't I feel any sadness?
Fujimaru Kyoya looked up at the sky. The sunlight was bright but not glaring; instead, it had an indescribable gentleness, just like the girl before him who had taken his life.
The boy lowered his head, while the girl raised hers at that moment. The pretense in one's eyes completely disappeared, leaving only helpless doting. The other's eyes held a sense of grievance, yet still a firm belief.
A rainbow descended, enveloping the two of them. A gentle breeze lifted the tips of their hair, causing a few golden leaves to dance around them.
Chapter 143 Waiting, the Next Reunion 16/102
"I won, brother."
Those were words spoken like a child throwing a tantrum; the girl was declaring her victory, that she had beaten her brother, whom she had always been unable to surpass.
Even though Fujimaru Kyoya had already suffered greatly at this moment, the facts were undeniable: this time, the girl had won.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but..."
Fujimaru Kyoya glanced at his younger sister, then used his last bit of strength to hug her tightly. This time, she had truly grown up.
In the blink of an eye, I saw my younger sister from more than ten years later. She was no longer the tiny little girl who could be lifted with one hand, but a young woman with her own ideas.
"You've proven yourself, so there's no need for me to stop you anymore. Just remember... take good care of yourself."
Fujimaru Kyoya couldn't give his sister anything; all he could offer in the end was a hug.
Points of light rose from his body. This Knight had been defeated once again, but this time he seemed less dejected than before. The only one he felt sorry for was Rongomyniad.
I'm sorry, I let you down.
The Reality Marble dissipated, and they returned to the Holy City. However, after the great battle between several Servant, the once magnificent buildings of the Holy City were now reduced to ruins.
Meanwhile, there is another unexpected person waiting for everyone.
The Goddess Rongomyniad.
"Lloyd, you've done your best."
Rongomyniad stepped forward. She felt no sorrow for her Knight's defeat, and as she cast her blessing, she could vaguely sense everything that was happening outside.
The Chaldea group passed Fujimaru Kyoya's test, and she could sense the battle that ensued, so she abandoned her own plans.
"Master of Chaldea, you carry the high hopes placed upon you by the Counter Force, and you are supported by a powerful spirit. You may be able to go all the way, but that does not mean it will be an easy path."
Rongomyniad watched Fujimaru Kyoya's figure gradually disappear, he forced a smile, but it wasn't exactly a pleasant one.
What about you? Aren't you going to continue?
Fujimaru Ritsuka was already exhausted. If she had to continue fighting, she probably wouldn't be able to win, but she still had her comrades.
Mash was only trapped before thanks to Fujimaru Kyoya, but she has now been freed. The Old Man of the Mountain will not be delayed by Gawain for long.
They still have the capability to fight.
"No need. I'm not someone who can't accept defeat. If I lose now, I'll pay the price for what I did before."
"Boom!"
The Holy City began to collapse; the tool originally used to create specimens of human civilization began to crumble when its master lost his will to fight.
With the collapse of the Holy City, this Sixth Singularity also began to become unstable and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"This is?"
"That's perfectly normal. The Holy Grail wasn't originally here. When you obtained Holy Grail, this Singularity was already difficult to maintain. I only managed to keep it afloat by using the properties of the Rhongomyniad. Now that the Rhongomyniad is gone, everything has begun."
The collapse of Singularity is essentially part of historical revision.
In this era, those who died from famine or from the King of Lions Holy Grail War would be recorded in history as having died because of the Crusaders.
This is also the final fate of all the casualties caused by Chaldea's previous Singularity.
Whether it's the world's corrective or Counter Force, or even the Compilation Event and Singularity Event, they are all ruthless and merciless things.
Of course, in a sense, it might be that humans, who possess "emotions," are the ones with the problem.
"Ritsuka, come back quickly! The Sixth Singularity is about to collapse!"
Da Vinci's voice came through the Chaldea communicator, but whether it was Fujimaru Ritsuka's imagination or not, the old woman's voice sounded a little young.
"Da Vinci? Weren't you before?"
"I'm a genius, how could I not have backup plans? Enough said. We couldn't contact you before because you were pulled into the Reality Marble, but now we've started preparing for Spiritron Transfer. Come back quickly."
A faint light appeared on Fujimaru Ritsuka's body; it was a sign of Spiritron Transfer, clearly indicating that she was about to be taken back.
"Elder brother."
"I already said, I don't understand what you're saying."
Fujimaru Kyoya would certainly not admit his identity, after all, the impact of a sister killing her brother on a minor is immeasurable.
Fujimaru Kyoya to death, he would never admit it, but...
"Next time you encounter trouble, you can call me over. Don't shoulder everything alone when you're out and about."
Fujimaru Kyoya struggled to raise his hand to wave goodbye, not wanting to leave his sister with a weak impression even as he was about to die.
"Wait, you..."
The conversation was only halfway through when the Spiritron Transfer was completed, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's figure disappeared. However, this time, the worried older brother was not concerned; he simply breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I'm leaving home.
"Sorry, I lost again."
"No need to apologize, in my eyes you are the strongest Knight."
Rongomyniad grasped Fujimaru Kyoya's hand, and the warmth emanating from that palm gave him a slight sense of comfort.
Will we ever meet again?
Fujimaru Kyoya is still alive, but Rongomyniad's condition is very strange, or rather, it's hard to say whether she is Rongomyniad or Artoria at this moment.
"Where the Holy Tree stands, I am right beside you. Let us meet again in Hall of Heroes."
"Alright, farewell in Hall of Heroes..."
Fujimaru Kyoya's figure vanished completely, and shortly afterward, the Rhongomyniad Collapse Singularity would be corrected, until the very end...
"King."
It was a familiar voice, followed by a sharp whooshing sound. Something was flying towards Rongomyniad —a golden streak of light.
"I'm sorry, so many years late, I'm so sorry..."
As soon as Rongomyniad turned around, she saw the figure disappear into the light barrier. She didn't even see the person's face, but she recognized the Holy Sword enveloped in light.
"You have fulfilled your promise, Lord Bedivere."
The light engulfed everything.
Fujimaru Kyoya returned to this familiar place once again, and he slowly walked towards the huge Holy Tree.
"Are you there, Rongomyniad?"
Fujimaru Kyoya sat under the tree and asked tentatively.
But no one answered him. Only a gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, and then a golden leaf slowly fell, as if someone was whispering in his ear.
You're here.
Fujimaru Kyoya fell asleep peacefully, and after he fell asleep, the phantom of a woman leaned on his shoulder and gradually drifted off to sleep as well.
The Holy Tree and her Knight.
As long as this "fate" remains, we will meet again someday, even if it's the end of the world.
Knight who dares to draw his sword against everything will undoubtedly be on the right side that time, and Knight undisputed victory will earn him the highest medal.
A gentle breeze blows, fallen leaves carry a message, and the Knight awaits the next summons.
Chapter 144 Servant Summoning in Progress...
"Tohsaka, what happened to the Holy Relic your father prepared back then? Did you lose it?"
After that inexplicable summoning experience, Fujimaru Kyoya was hesitant to use Destiny Perception for a while, since it wasn't a simulation and didn't yield any rewards. The most important thing right now was the Holy Grail War.
His younger sister will fight against the Humanity Incineration in the future, and he, as her older brother, can't just stand by and watch; otherwise, how would he be any different from Tachibana-senpai?
The key to winning the Holy Grail War lies in the strength of the Servant. These days, Fujimaru Kyoya has been helping Tohsaka Rin search for Holy Relic, but the problem now is that they simply can't find them.
"I can't reach it."
Is it a curse of the Tohsaka Family or something else? Tohsaka Rin always messes up at crucial moments. Normally, it would be considered a cute trait, but now it's a bit of a problem.
"How about we don't use Holy Relic and just summon based on the Master's adaptability?"
"Not using Holy Relic? Are you going to summon a Servant messes up at the crucial moment?"
The Holy Grail War is ultimately a game of cooperation between Master and Servant. It would be ridiculous if the Master and Servant fell out due to personality clashes.
Tohsaka Rin's suggestion of summoning based on the Master's adaptability refers to summoning without Holy Relic. Servant summoned this way are extremely well-suited to their Servant Master, but this method cannot guarantee the Servant's strength.
Throughout human history, there have been countless individuals who have left their mark on history, and their abilities have varied greatly, much like the 108 heroes of Liangshan.
He has Lu Junyi, I have Lu Zhishen, and you have Shi Qian. Isn't that...?
Once the fight really starts, Tohsaka Rin and Fujimaru Kyoya are like the two jokers in a deck of cards—the ultimate jesters.
Tohsaka Rin felt wronged, but she couldn't do anything about Fujimaru Kyoya's accusations. Now that they were living under the same roof, these kinds of details in their lives couldn't be kept from each other.
"We shouldn't give up until the very last moment."
Fujimaru Kyoya thought of his Holy Sword. If he were truly forced into a corner, he might really have to perform a "I summon myself" act.
If things really come to that, Fujimaru Kyoya very worried that something unexpected might happen. After all, if the two of them were together, given his personality, he'd probably be thinking about how to kill the other person day and night.
Moreover, the Tohsaka Family is no small or insignificant family. The fact that the previous Head of Family of the Tohsaka Family was so confident in Holy Relic means that it must be a Servant of considerable strength.
I wonder if Destiny Perception could see into the past of a corpse? Should we go and dig up the Tohsaka Family's ancestral graves in the middle of the night?
"Fujimaru, you little rascal, you're not thinking about something really outrageous, are you?"
After spending some time together, Fujimaru Kyoya to understand Tohsaka Rin, but didn't Tohsaka Rin understand Fujimaru Kyoya?
The moment this guy sticks his butt out, Tohsaka Rin knows there's nothing good in it.
"How could that be? I've always treated people with sincerity."
"Who would believe you? Tell me the truth."
A farcical chase ensued. Since they couldn't find the Holy Relic anyway, they might as well have some fun to relax. If all else failed, they could just use the Holy Sword.
"You little rascal, why are you so fast...? Wow~"
The already cramped room was in a mess after the two of them searched it. Tohsaka Rin tripped over some of the clutter and bumped into a bookshelf.
"Be careful, Master."
Fujimaru Kyoya and Fujimaru Kyoya himself against the bookshelf, but quite a few books and miscellaneous items still slid down and hit him.
"It's all because of you!"
Tohsaka Rin was furious, but seeing how "miserable" Fujimaru Kyoya being hit, she couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh.
All I could do was help him tidy up the room until...
"What's this?"
