"Not bad. Luo-kun, good luck winning this Holy Grail War!"
The fluffy-haired older beauty gave a light snort, then shot Luo Shu a meaningful glance.
"Piece of cake~"
The young nobleman in white calmly made a gesture, then took Yukino's hand and headed outside.
Before long, their figures gradually vanished into the distance, and the church returned to dead silence.
Many people pondered.
The enormous amount of information revealed in their conversation was enough to reconstruct all sorts of connections.
"It can almost be confirmed that Yukino Yukino was the one who destroyed Fuyuki City in the previous Holy Grail War."
Someone murmured to themselves.
Saber Artoria's inner voice had revealed that Haruno had used the Command Spells to order her to destroy the Holy Grail.
That meant the end of the Holy Grail War was very likely the primary reason the city had been destroyed.
"No, my sister is kind. She wouldn't do something like that."
Shimo Yukino shook her head, her eyes filled with shock and hesitation.
She naturally knew what her sister was like.
But what was her sister in the Parallel World like? Without seeing it with her own eyes, who could be sure...
For now, she could only gamble, only guess, and hope that her sister in the Parallel World was a good person.
In a corner of the Holy Church, golden light suddenly flickered as Gilgamesh, the oldest king, spoke indifferently.
"This king never expected you to enjoy this childish game of house."
"Isn't the great King of Heroes hiding his identity as well?"
Junko Enoshima covered her mouth and giggled, licking her lips. Her aura carried a chilling madness.
"Heh~ If such disrespectful words came from anyone else, their head would already have fallen."
Gilgamesh was somewhat displeased. He snorted coldly. "I never expected that when I saw that mongrel again after the last Holy Grail War, the beautiful fire in his mortal eyes, that dazzling light... would have vanished completely."
"What a disappointment. This king had thought that no matter how filthy this era was, there would still be one noble person worthy of enduring..."
The King of Heroes' expression turned cold, and he vanished amid Junko's strange laughter.
"The key point is ten years ago again..."
The famous detective Heiji Hattori furrowed his brows as he stared at the Heavenly Curtain, unwilling to miss even the slightest clue.
The previous Holy Grail War had provided too little information. Even with his sharp mind, he could not deduce anything.
Damn it,
If only they had been given more intelligence.
"Detective Hattori, there's been a murder!"
Someone outside suddenly shouted in panic, interrupting the brown-skinned young man's thoughts.
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
Heiji Hattori sighed and had no choice but to throw himself back into the great undertaking of solving real-world cases.
The moonlight was hazy as the two walked together down a neon-lit city street.
"Luo-kun, why did you... help me...?!"
The black-haired beauty hesitated for a moment before finally taking a deep breath and asking.
Although she, Yukino, aspired to become an "ally of justice," she was still the High Mountain Flower of Hohzuki Academy, a flower of ice and snow. She did not like owing favors, nor did she like receiving unexplained help.
Even if this favor was probably impossible to repay, she still wanted an answer.
At that, Luo Shu's lips curled slightly into a carefree smile.
He looked up at the moonlight and said with a grin, "Well, yeah, why indeed? Probably because I like you~"
The boy's tone was light, carrying a teasing, half-joking lilt.
He recalled how Yukino had founded a club to help others. Her dignified aura, like a plum blossom standing proudly against the snow atop a mountain peak, was hard not to admire.
"Luo-kun, stop joking..."
Serious Yukino could no longer hold herself together. She stamped her foot, her face flushing red.
Their figures disappeared beneath the moonlight, accompanied by the boy's carefree laughter fading into the distance.
"Huh?!"
In the real world, Haruno stood dumbfounded, completely stunned.
She had never seen her little sister act so bashfully. Yukino had always been icy and aloof, or calmly composed, before giving other girls the "contempt of a king." Getting Yukino to fall in love was no easier than stuffing an elephant into a refrigerator.
And yet... this freaking situation had actually appeared?!
The thought of her own fresh, tender cabbage being devoured made Haruno break down in tears.
She clutched her chest, feeling as though she could not breathe.
For a sister-con, this was simply a devastating blow!!
Mrs. Yukino, on the other hand, was much calmer. Those weathered eyes of hers began to ponder.
Wasn't it just that Yukino had someone she liked?
If Luo Shu of this world was equally outstanding, what was wrong with giving Yukino to him in marriage?
"Luo-kun likes me?!"
Shimo Yukino was surprised and lowered her head shyly.
It would be even better if Luo-kun of this world confessed to her.
The scene continued. The Hagoromo Boy smiled faintly as he brought Yukino and the Servants home.
The mansion was lit as brightly as day, and a graceful figure paced back and forth through the hall.
Because Hohzuki Academy had collapsed during the battle between Heroic Spirits, Shinomiya Kaguya had temporarily withdrawn from school. She handed the Shinomiya Family's worldly finances over to Hayasaka Ai, then raced back to the old estate to find her brother.
However, when the doors opened, her expectant eyes met several figures.
Her familiar brother stood at the front, but three beautiful girls of entirely different styles surrounded him.
One was a cute black-haired schoolgirl with flushed cheeks, another was a blonde foreign beauty with a cowlick atop her head, and the third was a white-haired older beauty gazing at her with a flirtatious smile...
"Onii-chan~ You can't be unfaithful, okay~"
Kaguya immediately revealed a dangerous smile, faint black energy rising from her body.
It was as though she had gone dark.
Still smiling, she turned and walked toward the kitchen, preparing to get her brother something delicious.
Splash~
The Heavenly Curtain abruptly stopped.
The colorful image instantly turned pitch-black, like a television screen going dark after getting water in it.
The story called Fate/staynight temporarily stopped updating, giving everyone time to think.
The real world.
The Shinomiya Family, one of Japan's "Four Great Zaibatsu Families," fell into utter silence.
Everyone stared dumbly at the dimmed screen, wondering whether they had seen it wrong.
"That was... the goofy young lady?!"
The blonde maid Hayasaka Ai tilted her head in confusion, a trace of delight flickering in her eyes.
It was actually a brand-new version she had never seen before!!
50. Mashiro Shiina's Masterpiece, Northern Ireland Demands Independence!
"Is it over..."
As the Heavenly Curtain gradually faded, many people on Earth sighed, narrowing their eyes in melancholy.
An indescribable emptiness enveloped them, as though they had been immersed in an exciting short drama only for it to abruptly end. After watching it, they felt distracted and gloomy, unable to muster any enthusiasm for anything.
The more sensitive and emotionally rich a person was, the more intensely they felt this way.
What happened next?
When would Fate/staynight continue airing?
Noble Phantasms clashing, the grudges and entanglements between Masters and Servants, multiple factions competing...
Everything unfolded slowly like a grand and magnificent painting.
No one could help being drawn in by the bearing of the Heroic Spirits.
Especially Artoria Pendragon, King Arthur—the peerlessly holy king, the noble figure of ancient Britain...
She was a leader who had truly been selfless, diligent, and devoted to her people.
The holy sword carried her ideals all the way to the end of the planet, while her monument was engraved upon the immortal Throne of Heroes.
The miracle displayed at the castle in Greenland continued to cause an ever-growing sensation.
No...
More accurately, with the Heavenly Curtain no longer playing scenes that held people's attention, everyone finally had ample time to think.
The excitement surrounding many miraculous events fermented wildly, violently shaking the hearts of people across the world.
"Is this... an unprecedented transformation in a thousand years?"
Someone murmured.
Countless people around them nodded in shock, their hearts still pounding with lingering fear.
No one underestimated the "change" brought by the Heavenly Curtain. Since it had existed for so long, it must have endured every nation's bombardments and armed attacks, yet it still calmly overlooked the world, existing indifferently in the high heavens.
The terrifying power behind it was absolutely beyond humanity's imagination!
"The arrival of the Heavenly Curtain must conceal an objective capable of shaking the world..."
In the Empire of the Sun, the blonde, blue-eyed young lady Cecilia looked lost.
The elite European education she had received told her that she had to do something amid this transformation. Otherwise, she would inevitably be swept up and drowned by the towering waves of the era.
When the tide finally receded, she would become nothing more than a withered skeleton left on the shore.
"Perhaps... the change has already happened, hasn't it?"
She took a sip of water and gazed out the window with a complicated expression.
The outside world was filled with clamor. Roughly four or five million Britons were striking and protesting.
"Northern Ireland, independence!!"
"Empire of the Sun, leave Europe!!"
"—Bring back the Sword in the Stone and restore King Arthur!!"
"The power of laborers is infinite! We cannot let greedy parasites seize the fruits of our labor!"
The man at the front wore a solemn expression as he raised a dazzling Empire of the Sun flag high overhead.
He raised his arm and shouted. The crowd was worked into a frenzy, ready to roar as their momentum shook the heavens.
Perhaps everyone's demands were different, but their desire to force the government to yield was united!
The Empire of the Sun had once possessed too many colonies, leading to historical problems throughout its current territory and endless conflicts among different ethnic groups...
Although there were many ethnicities, the main ones were often Anglo-Saxons and Celts.
