What Remained
Let's go back to when Bai Mo had just arrived in Uruk.
In a parallel world, after completing her tasks and enjoying quality time with her family, Ciel activated the cat paw device brought by the Neco-Arc. But instead of a café, she found herself on a desolate planet.
"Heh heh heh, you finally fell for it, Ciel. Didn't expect that, did you? The saying goes, 'The cat must get involved to gain an advantage.' Now, my goal has finally been achieved!"
A familiar voice came from behind him. Ciel turned around and shouted angrily, "You bastard! You haven't given up yet?"
From the shadows, Neco-Arc appeared behind Ciel, Ciel immediately pulled out the Seventh Scripture, as if he were about to blast the guy into dust at any moment.
"That color... it must be the second cat. I thought Arcueid had killed you, but it turns out you were plotting something else."
"That's right, hehehe, you didn't expect that, did you, Ciel? You were fooled by my sincere appearance, didn't you? With the power of the enraged Arcueid, I've been blasted out of the galaxy!"
Your device's anchor point is now bound to me!
Ciel's gaze was like a cold knife, fixed on the Neco-Arc before him. If looks could kill, Arc would have been torn to pieces by now.
"Why are you doing this? Is it for that boring HCG again?!"
"No, I've already analyzed my failures. ' Tsukihime ' and whatever, you can't make money with stuff from those back alleys!"
So, I betrayed them, and now I'm Grand Order cat!
Your worthless IPs are outdated; I've already sided with a stronger destiny (mobile games)!
Neco-Arc hissed, its fur standing on end, completely disregarding the fact that it too was a product of the same world as Ciel.
Ciel coldly replied, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm in a terrible mood right now because I haven't seen the person I want to see. Before I launch you, let me hear your last words."
"Heh, still looking all carefree? Dream on! You're already in some deserted region far from the solar system! For the sake of revenue, I'll never let a crossover character as powerful as you go to the world of FGO!"
Seriously, the Tsukihime group is way too strong! You should really learn from the senior, Witch on the Holy Night! Popular characters don't have to be strong to have people willing to spend money on them. You're wasting so many resources!
I'll accept your lock card and charge, and then implement them into some unknown Japan Heroic Spirit!
Neco-Arc roared and howled, but in the next moment, something unexpected happened!
With a loud bang, a spaceship crashed down, landing squarely on Neco-Arc.
"Quack! How could this be? No one has visited this place for a million years! Ah! This is bad, this feeling... Ciel, are you one of those heroines who disappears in the first season and makes a strong comeback in the third?!"
With a snap, Neco-Arc passed out. Ciel stared at the scene before him, his lips twitching. The next moment, the hatch opened, revealing a blonde girl who had fainted inside.
Ciel raised an eyebrow. The girl's face was almost identical to Artoria had suddenly appeared in the coffee shop. She carried a familiar sword and wore a baseball cap.
There's a single tuft of hair sticking out of the cap; there's no doubt it's Miss Artoria.
But regardless, this was her only way to leave.
Back in the present, after a month of drifting, powered by Magnetic Field Power that completely violate the law of conservation of energy, the two finally escaped that galaxy.
After finishing the last big mouthful of ramen, the Artoria- type girl wiped her mouth and said to Ciel:
"Don't worry, now that we're back in civilized society, we'll definitely find a way to help you get back Ciel!"
"You don't need to comfort me, Miss X. I've already investigated the spaceship; Earth isn't even on the star map of the Azure Radiance Galaxy." Ciel said, while playfully interacting with the cat at his feet and eating his awful curry rice.
Arcueid is still with Bai Mo, right? It's been a month already... I feel so helpless, so desperate.
Seeing this, X slammed his hand on the table and said:
"How can you be so discouraged? After eating, you should be full of energy to solve problems! Giving up now means you'll have nothing left!"
"Sigh, I didn't expect to be comforted by Miss X. Don't worry, I won't give up." Ciel took a sip of the unidentified beverage and continued:
"I'm still quite unfamiliar with this place, please take good care of me."
"Of course, let's start by making money!" With that, X produced a poster from somewhere. Ciel frowned as he looked at it, and saw that it clearly stated:
We are hiring a BAD END explainer to guide the various BAD END endings for the protagonists in parallel worlds. Applicants should be older, mature, and have a cat.
"What is this? And I don't keep cats..." Ciel was about to refuse, but then he saw the salary section at the bottom of the poster, with its long string of numbers.
Recruitment Office--
"Are you here to apply for the BAD END presenter position? Where's your cat?"
"Look here, it can even speak human language!"
With a smile, Ciel held up the dying Neco-Arc in his hand.
Not long after, Ciel received an offer. Looking at her new job, the girl clenched her fists and gazed at the distant universe.
This is just the first step, isn't it? Just wait, I'll be back someday. And when that happens, I'll never be that girl who could only cry behind you again.
You must resist the temptation, Bai Mo.
However, Ciel need not worry at this moment, because Bai Mo is not by Arcueid's side. On a distant Earth, in the late Japan period of Japan, on a hill covered with cherry blossoms, lies Bai Mo's location.
Achoo!
Bai Mo rubbed his nose, feeling as if something was watching him again.
"Are you feeling any discomfort? After all, I don't know your body at all, so please tell me if you feel any discomfort."
The girl, seemingly stepping out of a painting, reached out and touched Bai Mo's forehead and her own. This somewhat intimate gesture made Bai Mo feel uncomfortable; it went beyond the behavior of ordinary friends.
Bai Mo waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, then felt the strange sensation in his body. If other Heroic Spirit were here, they would have noticed that Bai Mo's body seemed to be inhaling.
"I don't feel anything wrong, thank you for your concern, Shi."
Before he could finish speaking, Shi put a finger to his lips, shook it, and said with a gentle smile:
"We don't need to say these things between us. Although the remnants of the Foreigner's Spirit Origin can help recover some of the soul you lost in this world, the process will take quite a long time."
Furthermore, since this Spirit Origin is severely damaged, you cannot use Magnetic Field Rotation power during this period.
She acted like a wife caring for her injured husband, carefully giving him instructions.
Within the Martial God Space, the powerful figures were somewhat pleasantly surprised. After sensing the surroundings, Bai Wunan said:
"Indeed, this so-called residual Spirit Origin is like a sugar cube that attracts ants, collecting the fragments of your Primordial Spirit that were scattered when you died in this world before.
Based on the rate at which this thing is consumed, plus the remaining system power in Uncle Si's soul, you might be able to restore it to over 750,000 horsepower.
That's quite a favor, kid.
