Another Invitation (Magic Eyes Train Arc)

"Now you are [Lord of El-Melloi]. You can make your own decisions and don't need to inform me anymore. I am just an ordinary Magecraft now."

"Okay, teacher."

"If there's nothing else, then you should go back."

After being told to leave, the Lord El-Melloi II was stopped again as he was about to depart.

"By the way, where is that guy now?"

"Mr. Wang seems to have gone to the Middle East with Miss Aozaki and the head of Galliasta, all for [that thing],"

The Lord El-Melloi II emerged from the room with a sigh of relief, like a student who had just finished their thesis defense.

"Master?"

The sound from the side drew the Lord El-Melloi II's attention. He turned his head and saw a hooded girl not far away who seemed to be waiting for him.

Seeing the worry in the eyes beneath the hood, a slight smile curved the corners of the Lord El-Melloi II's lips.

"It's alright, go back."

When the two returned to the Lord El-Melloi II's apartment, walking down the hallway, Gray seemed to finally be unable to hold back any longer and asked her question:

"Master, has Professor Kayneth always been this strict?"

Hearing his disciple's somewhat timid voice, the Lord El-Melloi II seemed to have thought of something amusing, and unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

As the most unconventional member of the El-Melloi Classroom, Flat Escardos would subconsciously tone down his demeanor upon seeing Kayneth. This was simply because Kayneth had already risen to the Grand, possessed an overwhelming aura.

Reaching the door of his room, the Lord El-Melloi II took out his key while comforting his disciple:

"That's just his personality; you'll understand once you get used to it."

Click--

The sound of the door opening was like an abrupt pause, silencing the rest of the Lord El-Melloi II.

"Master?"

Seeing the Lord El-Melloi II frozen in place, a puzzled Gray peeked out from behind him. Once the scene before her was fully revealed, like her master, Gray fell into a suffocating silence.

The once tidy room now looked as if it had been ravaged by a storm, and in stark contrast to this messy environment was a splash of pure white.

--It's an envelope.

The Lord El-Melloi II entered the room, picked up the envelope on the table, gently opened it, and found an invitation and a blank piece of paper inside.

[If you want to get that thing back, come on over.]

This line of text was scrawled on the white paper.

"Fuck!"

The ambiguous words made the Lord El-Melloi II frown and mutter a curse under his breath before turning his gaze to the invitation.

A bright red wax seal was pressed onto the crystal-clear paper. The stamp, themed around wheels and eyeballs, evoked some ancient Magecraft symbolism.

Unfolding the envelope, just as the Lord El-Melloi II had expected, it contained a message in flowing, elegant handwriting expressing his hope that the recipient would overcome all obstacles to attend their banquet. At the end of the letter was the sender's name.

[The Rail Zeppelin]

(The Twin Towers. The End)

So this is the only way to end it so abruptly, I'm very sorry.

The next plot point is the [Mystic Eyes Collection Train] from the case file.

However, Xiaoming isn't the main character in this incident (probably).

However, Xiaoming still has quite a lot of screen time.

Chapter Recommendation: <My Servant is Semiramis>

My Servant is Semiramis

This book, like mine, is probably a pure romance (I'm sure of it).

The following is a brief introduction:

My life Master is wonderful because I somehow summoned a second Servant. People call me a shameful cheater, but I think they're just jealous that I have the gentlest and most beautiful female Servant in the world, so I choose to forgive their twisted and negative emotions!

I will always love Anastasia; she is my beloved jewel in the ice...

Compared to the old and listless Semiramis, the ever-lively and optimistic Princess is my only support in this life!

--Matou Ichiru.

Matou shivered and began to read aloud under the princess's sullen gaze; otherwise, he would have to read it aloud.

The icy blue blizzard hanging overhead was about to pour down.

(Through the Magecraft amplification crystal that Her Highness had set up in advance, Matou's humble voice echoed throughout the entire Hanging Gardens of Babylon for a long time without ceasing.)

My Servant is Semiramis

Chapter 340. Another Invitation (The Rail Zeppelin)

2003, Fuyuki

Shirou had just woken up, realized something when he saw the snowflakes falling outside the window.

"Hmm, it's already winter."

After stretching, Shirou got out of bed and began his daily routine, surrounded by the cold air.

Washing up, making breakfast, and attending temple classes.

When Shirou finished his studies and returned to the restaurant from the dojo, he found his family already sitting around the table waiting for him.

Good morning, brother.

The purple-haired girl, who had just come out of the kitchen, placed the bento box she was carrying on the table and greeted Shirou with a smile.

"Good morning, Sakura."

After responding with a smile, Shirou turned his gaze to the girl on the other side of the table:

"Good morning, Ms. Lily."

"Good morning, Shirou."

After a while, Lily's somewhat listless voice finally reached Shirou's ears.

"Forehead..."

My dad has been away from home for almost a month now. Although he called a couple of days ago to update us on his situation and tell us not to worry, it's just...

Ever since she learned that Wang Xiaoming was with Touko Aozaki Xiaoming, the girl in front of her hadn't seemed to be in a very good mood.

Regarding this--

Shirou could only turn to Sakura for help.

"Teacher Lily, if you don't eat properly, your uncle will definitely be worried when he comes back."

"Huh?"

"My brother and I are on your side."

Seeing Lily's confused expression, Sakura chuckled and put some food into her bowl, continuing, "So you have to work hard too, you can't lose to them!"

What do you think, brother?

"Ah? Yes, that's right..."

By the end, Shirou was still completely bewildered and didn't understand the content of the two women's conversation. However, Shirou was relieved that Lily had recovered quite a bit of her spirits.

"Then let's head out."

After breakfast and tidying everything up, Shirou and Sakura said goodbye to Lily was staying at home.

As Shirou strolled leisurely towards school, he suddenly asked Sakura beside him a question.

"Sakura, where's Tohsaka?"

"My sister told me a while ago that she was going to London (the Clock Tower) for further studies, so she asked the school for a long leave."

Upon hearing Sakura's answer, Shirou nodded unconsciously.

"So that's how it is."

"Haven't seen you for a few days, and you're already missing me?"

"Please spare me."

After hearing Sakura's words, Shirou quickly put his hands together and explained to her in a flattering tone:

"It's just that Tohsaka usually comes to find you so you can go to school together. She's suddenly disappeared for a while, and it's a little strange without all that noise around."

"It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be, brother. If my sister knew you were talking about her like that, she'd definitely argue with you again."

Seeing Shirou's exaggerated movements, Sakura couldn't help but scold him playfully. However, it was clear from the smile on Sakura face that she was also amused by her brother.

After a long while --

"Hey, brother."

"Um?"

"If... if I want to try harder, will my brother support me?"

After a slight hesitation, Sakura finally voiced the question that had been buried deep in her heart for a long time.

Sakura's Magecraft attribute is [Hollow].

Although both children have been taught Magecraft by Lily since childhood, the concept of "Hollow" (a fictional element) is still a novel subject for Lily, requiring further research before a training plan can be developed. As a result, Sakura's progress in Magecraft training is somewhat less than Shirou's, and she has even fallen behind her Tohsaka Rin by a small margin.

This made Sakura feel frustrated.

"Sure."

Without any hesitation, Shirou immediately replied.

"Huh?"

"I mean, Sakura, all you have to do is stand behind me, but I know saying that would make you unhappy."

Sakura blinked, probably not expecting to get the answer she wanted so easily. Seeing his younger sister's somewhat bewildered expression, Shirou couldn't help but reach out and gently ruffle her hair.

"But remember, no matter what, I will always be your strongest support and vanguard."

"Hmm..."

Feeling the warmth emanating from above, Sakura, her eyes slightly narrowed, muttered something under her breath, in a voice Shirou couldn't hear:

"That's a foul..."

"Hmm? Sakura, did you say something?"

"It's nothing~"

While the siblings were chatting, they arrived at the school gate.

Good morning, Shirou and Sakura.

Just as Shirou and Sakura stepped through the school gate, a gentle voice suddenly reached their ears. They turned around and saw a woman in a suit walking towards them.

"Good morning, Fujino Asagami- nee."

Good morning, Fujino Asagami- nee.
