"This... this..."

Hans Christian Andersen hesitated, unsure of what to say.

"Next time! I'll definitely change next time!"

As he spoke, his figure suddenly disappeared from Gretel's sight.

"Ahhhh!!! They got away!"

Gretel was furious, wishing she could drag Hans Christian Andersen back from Hall of Heroes.

Mash stepped forward and handed a book to Gretel, saying, "Mr. Hans Christian Andersen asked me to give this to you."

Gretel was stunned. She brought the book up to her eyes and looked at it carefully.

The cover features a simple sketch, and it's clear that the person depicted is Gretel.

Below the portrait is a sentence: To the lively and lovely Alice, may you always be happy.

Gretel pouted, "She's clearly a writer, yet she tries to paint like others, and her paintings don't look like me at all..."

She said that, but she held it tightly in her arms.

Only the Servant remains as an Earl; he is the victor and has the right to make a wish upon the Holy Grail.

Abby asked him, "What is your wish? We can make a wish upon the Holy Grail."

The Earl shook his head and said disdainfully, "This kind of thing, filled with desire, only contains evil. I don't need it."

"But..."

Abby was about to say something more when the Earl's body suddenly began to fade. He was about to leave. The Holy Grail was nothing to him; he had no desires.

Abby became anxious when he saw the Earl was about to leave.

But when she saw the Earl smiling at her, she suddenly understood something.

Abby said earnestly, "You have to be happy!"

The Earl's body completely disappeared from Abby's sight, leaving behind only four short words before he vanished.

"The same as you..."

Chapter 87, Section 308: I Suddenly Don't Want to Die

All the summoned Servant had departed, and a sense of melancholy inevitably arose among the crowd.

Parting is always a little painful.

However, things that need to be done must be done. The magic in the Greater Grail is already overflowing, and a wish needs to be made to consume it.

"Abby, have you decided what you want to wish for?"

Yuxian asked softly.

The little ones who were originally clamoring to make a wish didn't bother Abby at this moment. Compared to their actual wishes, what they really wanted was just the spot, or rather, the process.

Abby blinked, slowly pondering the question: what kind of wish should she make?

Abby herself hasn't figured it out yet.

Yuxian didn't urge her. He said, "Let's go to the Great Chasm. You can think about it slowly on the way. There's still time, so don't rush."

The Holy Grail was revealed in the Great Chasm.

When everyone arrived here, the once dark and Great Chasm was now brightly illuminated by the light of the Holy Grail.

A golden holy grail floated in mid-air, emitting bursts of light, and its immense magical power could be felt from afar.

"Is this the Holy Grail?"

Waver and the others were amazed when they saw the Holy Grail for the first time. This was the Miracle Cup, the legendary wish-granting machine that could grant any wish.

Everyone was watching Abby, the little girl who had the right to make a wish upon the Holy Grail.

Everyone saw Abby's performance and some were jealous, but no one objected; she deserved it.

Abby hesitated for a moment, but seeing Yuxian's encouraging gaze, she slowly walked towards the Greater Grail.

As she approached the Holy Grail, Abby's consciousness entered the Grail.

She saw the Winter Saintess Justeza once again.

"Child, you may make a wish now."

Justeaze's voice was very warm, making Abby feel like she was bathed in a spring breeze; she must be a very gentle person.

"Although the Greater Grail cannot grant all wishes, its function as a wish-granting machine is not in vain, so you don't need to worry."

Abby nodded, but she didn't make a wish right away.

She looked at Justeaze and asked, "Don't you feel lonely here all by yourself?"

Justeaze smiled gently, "It's been hundreds of years, I've gotten used to it."

Will I really get used to it?

Abby didn't believe it; she felt extremely uncomfortable even spending a single day alone, let alone hundreds of years.

"What a good child."

Justeaze gently patted Abby's head.

"My mission will be over after tonight, so you don't need to worry about me."

She already knew about Yuxian others' decision to dismantle the Greater Grail, and Justeaze was quite at ease about it.

Just as she had resolutely sacrificed herself before, she felt no resentment at this moment.

Centuries have passed, and their original vision has not been realized. Since it has failed, she has no reason to continue existing.

This ending was a kind of relief for her.

"Make your wish, child," Justeaze encouraged. "Make your truest wish."

Abby nodded, and with a very serious expression, she expressed her wish.

I hope everyone can be happy!

This has always been Abby's wish, and it has never changed.

As Abby made her wish, the Greater Grail shone even brighter, and the magic within it surged violently.

The tangible magic, under the influence of the Holy Grail, slowly transformed into Abby's wish.

The so-called wish-granting machine is actually using magic to make some impossible things happen.

The environment inside the Great Chasm slowly changed, and the people inside were gradually affected, each seeing different scenes before their eyes.

Before Scathach appeared the castle of the Shadow Land. She was in the castle hall, beneath the throne, when she was killed by a familiar figure.

With a gentle wave of her hand, she broke free from this illusion; the magic of the Holy Grail could neither affect nor deceive her.

Such magic is far from enough to truly kill her.

She returned to the Great Chasm, stood there quietly, a faint smile on her face.

She had already guessed what Abby had wished for.

"What a considerate child."

Scathach whispered softly, "Suddenly, I don't want to die anymore..."

What she loathed was the monotony of the unchanging routine; it was a curse, a form of confinement.

However, she now finds life quite interesting and begins to look forward to the future, a feeling she had never experienced in countless years.

What appeared before Yuxian's eyes was Chaldea.

He appeared in the Chaldea room, unaware of what had happened.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, and a group of children rushed in.

"Happy birthday!"

The children wished him a happy birthday, and they surrounded Yuxian as they walked toward the restaurant.

"Uncle Emiya made a huge cake, as big as several people! It looks so delicious!"

Along the way Yuxian saw many people, including Da Vinci, Artoria, Tamamo no Mae, Golden Flash, and so on.

They all offered their blessings to Yuxian.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, it became even more crowded; almost everyone was gathered there.

The restaurant was decorated in a magnificent manner. Emiya brought out a huge cake and said to Yuxian, "This is the first birthday after Master found everyone, so I specially prepared this big cake to celebrate."

The children urged Yuxian to cut the cake quickly; they couldn't wait any longer.

Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Yuxian smiled, a genuinely happy smile from the bottom of his heart.

Rin Tohsaka saw her reviving the Tohsaka Family's glory, Sakura Matou saw her living a happy life with her sister and mother.

This is probably their deepest wish. Although Abby can't make everyone's wish come true, they are happy and joyful at this moment.

Olga Marie gained her father's approval and inherited the Lord of the Clock Tower's Astronomy Department.

Teresa saw little Marie's happy smile.

Everyone saw what they most wanted to see at that moment.

Just like Fujimura Taiga is currently chasing after a few naughty students, constantly scolding them loudly from behind, she must be happy inside.

Most of the people present had smiles on their faces, to varying degrees.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Scathach looked at the two of them; even she couldn't have guessed the scene they were about to witness.

Waver and Kiritsugu Emiya.

Waver could probably guess a thing or two. Although his face was wet with tears, his expression still revealed joy. Considering his well-known wish, it wasn't hard to guess who he had met.

But the sorrowful aura on Kiritsugu Emiya's face made him stand out from the others, leaving one wondering who he had met and what the scene was like.

Section 309, Chapter 88: I just had a nightmare!

"Kid, you've grown up..."

Seeing Iskandar standing before him, laughing, Waver burst into tears.

He finally saw the king again.

"King..."

Waver had a thousand words he wanted to say, but at this moment he could only utter this one word.

Iskandar patted Waver hard on the back, the force almost making Waver stumble. This was the same force he knew from the King, no doubt about it.

"You did a great job, kid."

Iskandar faced the sea, an endless expanse before him, the sea he longed to reach.

"I..."

Waver lowered his head, unsure how to express himself. He always felt that he was not mature enough and did not deserve Iskandar's praise.

"Don't underestimate yourself, boy. You are a subject of the great King of Conquerors."
