Chapter 485
I'm afraid it's not just you and me; the girl who became the Goddess's Spirit Origin is also from our world.
Tohsaka...!?
Shirou was taken aback.
We call the world Shirou was born the "A World," or "Big Brother Merlin World."
So, the world where you, as King Arthur, are active is World B, or "Little Sister Avalon World."
Why name it after yourself?
Shirou frowned: He would rather die than tell anyone such a disgusting world name.
"Then the world we are in now is World C, which is the 'Chaldea World'."
Perhaps it's because worlds A and C are in phase, causing those summoned to this world to all come from "Big Brother Merlin World"... But I digress. Let's get back to Chaldea.
Merlin took a sip of ale. "In short, Chaldea is an organization that doesn't exist in 'Big Brother Merlin World'."
Their stated objective is to avert a crisis known as the "Incineration of Humanity."
Merlin spent five minutes explaining to Shirou what "the Incineration of Humanity" meant.
Although this man is very unreliable, he is, after all, a teacher from another world. Even if you don't want to admit it, you have to acknowledge his teaching ability and his compatibility with Shirou.
"So, that King of Magecraft is the culprit behind everything? He actually spent three thousand years burning away the entirety of Human History."
Shirou was processing the information he had obtained from Merlin.
He had already learned about "Singularity" from Aoko and Arisu.
However, the Singularity created by the King of Magecraft far exceeded the scale of what they had encountered initially.
With just seven Singularity, the King of Magecraft wiped out all human life on Earth and erased all of human history.
Mesopotamia, now invaded by the goddess, is the final and greatest Singularity set up by the King of Magecraft.
"To stop the King of Magecraft's ambitions and reclaim humanity's future, the last human Magecraft of this world— the Master of Chaldea —has traversed the six Singularity to date."
Merlin's tone gradually became more impassioned.
Seeing this, Shirou asked curiously, "You haven't actually met with those people yet, have you?"
"Hmph, you can't fool me."
Merlin nodded and said, "In the previous... Sixth Singularity, the Holy City of Jerusalem already had a brief encounter with the Master and Half- Servant of Chaldea."
The Flower Magus began to speak eloquently about the Sixth Singularity.
There, the Chaldea group encountered a demon calling himself "Richard I," a pharaoh who ruled the scorching sands, and Assassin Order that lived in seclusion in the mountains.
"Looking back now, it was still an epic adventure that got my blood pumping, even though I mostly just watched from the sidelines in silence!"
The Chaldea group faced numerous crises, but even so, humanity's last Master and her companions never gave up.
Ultimately, through their perseverance, willpower, and courage, they successfully broke through the Sixth Singularity and will officially arrive in this era in a few days.
Shirou suddenly realized. "I see, so you wanted me to go out of the city with you tomorrow..."
"That's right, let's greet the saviors from the future before the enemy does, Shirou."
Merlin waved his hand and walked down from the rooftop.
The next morning, Shirou and Merlin left Uruk.
When they told the others in the dormitory that they would be leaving for a few days, Tomoe Gozen said that she would also accompany her lord.
Perhaps because she had become a completely demonic being, she was even more difficult to persuade than in her normal state.
Every gain has its loss; correspondingly, Tomoe Gozen's mental resilience weakens.
So Merlin used a little illusion magic.
Right now, the female warrior is spending time in the kitchen with Shirou, preparing lunch like a newlywed couple.
Merlin wove such a beautiful dream for her.
However, no matter how beautiful the dream, there will always be a time when you wake up.
By the time Tomoe Gozen came to her senses, Shirou and Merlin had already left the dormitory.
"Merlin...! Unforgivable!"
A few sparks flickered from Tomoe Gozen's voluptuous body, and the surrounding air distorted due to the intense heat.
Achoo!
Magecraft walking down the street suddenly sneezed.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm? Did you catch a cold from being out in the wind on the rooftop last night?"
"..."
Although the person involved was completely unaware, Shirou's Instinct told him that when they returned, Merlin would be beaten to a pulp by Tomoe Gozen.
"That bastard Merlin..."
The silver blade traced an elegant arc in the sunlight, leaving a trail of dark red blood droplets.
Shirou beheaded the last Magical Beast, turning his weapon into particles of light.
Ten minutes ago, Shirou were attacked by Magical Beast while they were walking through the forest.
"I never imagined that the influence of Magical Beast had expanded this far! Wow, that's quite something!"
"Well Merlin, since I need to conserve my magic and fight the goddess, I'll leave the rest of the work to you, Shirou!"
As the Magecraft spoke, he was suddenly enveloped by a cluster of flowers and then disappeared—leaving Shirou alone to face a horde of Magical Beast.
"Tsk, where did they go...?"
After defeating the Magical Beast attack, Shirou wanders aimlessly through the forest, using his Mystic Eyes to search for the Flower Magus.
Merlin is really unreliable... Maybe bringing Tomoe Gozen was the right thing to do, he couldn't help but think.
"... Speaking of which, there aren't many Magical Beasts in this area."
Shirou strode quickly through the forest.
The "Mystic Eyes of Detection" he is currently using are eyes that can sense traces of magic.
In a sense, it's a type of past vision, so it can see the residual magic from the past 24 hours.
However, the forest that Shirou has now arrived in has almost no trace of magic...
"Um...?"
Shirou stopped in his tracks.
In the lush forest, a girl dressed in a black robe lay motionless on the ground.
She was petite and looked to be only about ten years old.
Are they children attacked by Magical Beast!?
Shirou quickly ran forward, picked up the girl, and turned her over.
Purple hair and a cute face peek out from under the black hood; she looks about eleven or twelve years old.
The girl was covered in wounds and her breathing was very weak, but at least she was still alive.
"Hey, are you alright? Where are your parents?"
Shirou shook the girl's shoulder.
Why are there young girls in this forest where Magical Beast roam?
He had some doubts, but in the end, the thought of saving the person prevailed.
At the call, the purple-haired girl struggled to open her eyes.
Those were beautiful purple eyes, so exquisite they seemed like works of art, reminding Shirou of purple gemstones.
"It's alright now."
Shirou said to her calmly, "I will treat your injuries; they are all superficial wounds, so don't worry..."
The girl lying in the boy's arms ignored his comforting words, her hands clasped over her stomach.
Then, her stomach rumbled in sync with the movement.
"I'm so hungry... I haven't eaten anything for the past two days..."
The purple-haired loli, Medusa, clung tightly to Shirou's clothes, revealing a pitiful expression.
Volume 7: Chapter 314 Ritsuka & Mash: They were just arrived when Shirou- sensei gave them a good smack in the face...
It seems that the girl didn't collapse from hunger because she was attacked by Magical Beast.
Shirou breathed a sigh of relief, his tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and he reached into his Time Pocket.
Time Pocket, also known as Dimensional Pocket or Time Capsule.
This is an ability developed by Aoko Aozaki, the Fifth Magician and Time Travel, which allows her to physically create a dimensional rift for storing items.
However, to be precise, it was not True Magic related to time, but rather Magecraft with properties similar to imaginary numbers.
The Imaginary Space, which is considered non-existent yet exists, is a place where things that fall into it will not be bound by space and time.
Magecraft with imaginary number attributes can reach into the gaps between dimensions, receiving things from the past or sending things into the future.
Aoko Aozaki uses this property as Time Capsule to preserve items.
Shirou had mastered "Time Control" and had Time Travel, which is why he was able to learn how to use the Time Pocket under Aoko's tutelage.
After some fumbling, Shirou took out the paper bag containing the sandwiches.
This morning, Merlin suddenly got the wrong idea before leaving the house and said something like, "I really want to eat Shirou's homemade bento," demanding that Shirou quickly prepare a lunch that he could take with him.
It's not like we're on a picnic, what's going on...?
Because of the time constraints, Shirou could only make sandwiches with the ingredients he had on hand, which unexpectedly came in handy here.
The purple-haired loli's sleepy eyes widened as soon as she saw the Shirou took out.
"Um... is this... for me?" she asked nervously.
"Yes, of course."
Shirou offered the sandwich to the purple-haired girl.
"I'm saved... Awooo."
The purple-haired loli ate the sandwich she received from Shirou in small bites.
His appearance was so endearing that Shirou couldn't help but smile.
When she noticed the boy's gaze on her, she pulled down the front of her hood somewhat embarrassedly.
The shadow of the hood once again obscured most of her face, revealing only her slightly reddened lips.
"Thank you... it was delicious."
Shirou took a water glass from his Time Pocket and filled it for the girl.
"You're welcome. This is Magecraft I used to know... Ouch."
A pebble, seemingly out of nowhere, hit Shirou on the head.
"What's wrong?" The purple-haired loli blinked.
"Nothing."
He continued, "This sandwich was originally... painful."
Another pebble hit the boy on the head.
Shirou: "..."
"I think I heard a scream."
The purple-haired loli looked up and saw Shirou spread his five fingers toward the bushes beside him. Then there was a commotion there, and she could vaguely see something pink and white struggling.
