Chapter 641

It's not just that they look alike, but that they are exactly the same in height and appearance.

However, the atmosphere between the two sides felt completely different.

Rin Tohsaka is beyond words, but she is simply completely different.

Just as she was about to press for more information about the other person's identity, the entire Tohsaka Residence trembled.

Even though Rin and the others were in the basement, they could feel a strong Magecraft vibration coming from above—the barrier had been broken!

"An enemy Magecraft has barged in with their Servant..."

The red-haired boy tilted his head back, stared at the basement ceiling, and explained.

Rin Tohsaka was shocked. "Huh! Of all times like this? By the way, can you even see it?"

"Well, it's just a 'Mystic Eyes of Clairvoyance through things'..."

The red-haired boy, having witnessed something, revealed a sly smile.

"Do you remember the customer who had long, wavy blonde hair and was wearing a blue dress?"

"Luvia Zelitt!?"

The red-haired boy nodded. "Hmm, it seems to be someone who knows you, Master."

Judging from her statement, she must have rushed over immediately upon sensing the reaction to your spirit-summoning ceremony.

Is she reckless, or simply straightforward...?

Oh, I see...

The red-haired boy muttered to himself in a low voice, a voice only he could hear.

In this world, Luvia participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War...

No wonder she knew me back then.

"What do we do next, Master?"

"Is there even a question? They've come knocking on our door, so we have no choice but to fight them to the bitter end!"

Upon hearing her nemesis's name, Rin Tohsaka's eyes blazed with fury.

"I'll beat her until she runs back to Finland with her tail between her legs, never daring to set foot on Fuyuki City's soil again."

As the girl spoke, she looked at her Servant: "And you? What are you planning to do? You shouldn't be scared now, right?"

"How could that be? I can't wait to cause a ruckus with Master."

"Very well, let's go... Let me see your strength."

The two headed towards the first floor of the building.

----This concludes the opening of the Fifth Holy Grail War in a certain world.

Shirou Amamiya is summoned as Heroic Spirit by Rin Tohsaka from another world, forming a bond with her and fighting side by side.

This is a story that takes place before the False Holy Grail War in Snowfield.

This is also a story that Shirou Amamiya will personally experience several years later.

I probably won't visit this world again, because there's no reason for me to see you again.

"..."

Upon hearing Shirou's reply, Rin Tohsaka felt as if all the air had been sucked out of her lungs.

Even if it was just a lie, why did you have to say such hurtful things when we parted?

She felt extremely wronged.

But she knew very well that Shirou wasn't the kind of person who would lie about promises made to girls.

This is my favorite place.

Ah... my fate with Shirou ends here...

An indescribable sadness lingered in my chest, and I couldn't help but want to cry.

He had no idea about or remember any of those days that were unforgettable and deeply etched in his memory.

Is there anything more frustrating than this?

But—don't cry.

For Shirou now, I am the elder.

Let's say a proper final goodbye...

Just as she was holding back her tears, she suddenly felt herself being embraced.

"... Huh?"

Rin Tohsaka blinked.

She was surprised to find herself being hugged by Shirou.

"Even though Tohsaka has grown up, she's still taller than me... that makes me feel relieved."

The red-haired boy muttered something as he held Rin Tohsaka in his arms.

"I think I probably won't come here again."

Shirou leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

"So—next time it'll be your turn to come find me."

"!!"

Rin Tohsaka buried her face in the boy's shoulder and smiled faintly.

"Okay, it's a deal."

Even across vast distances, I will definitely find you.

Volume 8: Chapter 399 He went back with the lolis.

"--Is it really okay to just leave my people without saying goodbye?"

Shirou asked Tiné was gazing at the view of Snowfield.

They were all on the edge of the forest on the west side of the city.

The forest returned to its usual tranquility after Typhoon Inanna, a super typhoon that was originally scheduled to pass through Snowfield, mysteriously disappeared.

It is just before dawn; soon the night will end and the sun will rise above the horizon.

The Holy Grail War tonight ended without causing widespread destruction.

Shirou and Tiné gaze at the sunrise, their last in this world, while Haruri plays with the silver wolf who has been temporarily left here.

"I've made up my mind."

"Determination?"

The brown-skinned girl nodded. "Yes, determination."

When Lord Gilgamesh was defeated by Shirou, I had already retreated from this Holy Grail War.

After that, no matter how much I struggled, reclaiming the land was an impossible dream.

Isn't this a common occurrence in modern politics?

The clan leader, on whom the entire clan had placed so much hope, has fallen to such an end. I have no choice but to resign in bitterness.

Tiné smiled as she said this.

It wasn't as a clan leader or a sacrifice, but rather the innocent and carefree smile that belonged to a girl her age.

"Is this your answer?" Shirou murmured.

"Yes, it's all thanks to Lord Gilgamesh and Shirou that I had such courage."

Up until now, Tiné's life has been entirely planned out for her by adults.

Because of a sense of responsibility, a sense of mission, and a sense of guilt.

She kept telling herself that she was incredibly lucky.

Compared to my older brothers and sisters who have long since become one with this land, I should be grateful that I am still alive.

However, Gilgamesh and Shirou showed her a different path.

What do I really want to do?

In the few short days since she witnessed the Holy Grail War, the girl has decided to confront her own heart.

"You could have chosen not to come along, but is this the kind of thing you want to do...?"

Haruri muttered discontentedly from the side.

She had thought that she would be the only one leaving this world with Shirou and heading to Uruk in the Age of Gods, but she didn't expect that Tiné would come along too.

Haruri Bolzac has no relatives left in this world.

Her parents both died because of persecution and discrimination in the Magecraft world.

Originally, Haruri's reason for wanting to participate in the Holy Grail War was her despair over this modern society infiltrated by Magecraft —in a way, it could be described as revenge.

However, after meeting the goddess Ishtar and Shirou, her resolve began to waver.

Later, she witnessed the downfall of the Great Hero Heracles, and the young woman realized that she was utterly incapable of avenging him.

Now, Haruri has completely let go of her obsession with this old world and is determined to go to the new world with Shirou, Mesopotamia in the Age of Gods.

Waaah... I've been looking forward to this long-awaited time alone with Shirou- san, this new life in a new world...

"... Please don't confuse me with you, Miss Haruri."

Tiné turned to look at Haruri and said coldly.

"I followed Shirou to Uruk in the Age of Gods not for personal gain, but for a legitimate reason."

That's right, this is actually studying abroad.

I want to follow Shirou to Lord Gilgamesh's hometown so that I can study there.

I will learn from Shirou, I will learn from the people of Uruk, and one day—I will return to this world.

Unlike Haruri, who essentially fled the world, Tiné has no intention of abandoning her people.

The clan's plan to reclaim the land through the Holy Grail War has failed.

The information about Tiné, the girl created and connected to the spiritual veins, has also been exposed.

Even after the Holy Grail War, Magecraft will remain wary of her; she has no chance to achieve anything further.

In other words, Tiné's purpose in life has vanished, and her life Miko has come to an end.

However, Haruri had no intention of giving up.

Even though he is no longer needed by his people...

No, precisely because I am no longer needed.

She wanted to do it her own way.

One day, Tiné will return to this world and reclaim her homeland from the Magecraft.

"You've thought a lot about this, that's amazing, Tiné."

"Shi... Shirou- sama."

The girl's cheeks flushed as her head was stroked, and she looked embarrassed.

"Speaking of which, sending the Bull of Heaven Gugalanna back to Uruk... thank you for your hard work."

Last night, Shirou and his group successfully transferred Gugalanna back to his original world as planned.

Shirou and Ishtar designed the entire city as an altar, bridging the phases between Parallel World and successfully sending Gugalanna away.
