To the moon
Ah~
Sera sprawled out on the sofa without any regard for appearances; he could finally rest.
but...
Sera looked at the ceiling, but her attention wasn't on it; she was thinking.
It's the seventh day of the Holy Grail War.
It's time for them... the Servants, to go back too.
Just as Sera had expected, a countdown appeared on the Holy Grail after it was taken out.
12 hours.
"There are still 12 hours left."
Kiana started thinking about what else she could do.
"..."
Sera's gaze fell upon Sakura, who was sitting quietly in the corner.
Of all the Servants, only she... is someone who has already died. At least Sera cannot bear to watch someone, someone she only knew unilaterally, vanish.
"Don't worry about me. I'm just a long-dead soul. I'm lucky to be able to see the world again."
Sakura smiled at Sera and then bid farewell to everyone.
Now that the battle is over, Sakura has no reason to stay any longer; she should return to where she belongs.
Farewell, everyone.
Goodbye... Sakura-neechan...
Feiying was feeling down. Sakura had been taking care of her like an older sister these past few days, and with Sakura's permission, Sera told Feiying her story.
Feiying never felt that Ying treated her like Ling; her eyes were only on Feiying.
Now that we're about to part ways, I'm really going to feel a little reluctant.
Sakura stepped forward and gently hugged Feiying, offering her some words of advice.
"Don't stay up too late."
"Um..."
Feiying buried her head in Ying's arms, her voice muffled.
"That..."
Sakura turned around and waved.
Farewell.
Goodbye, Sakura.
The image of Cherry Blossom vanishing was reflected in everyone's eyes; the name "Setsuna" was fleeting.
Okay.
Feiying returned to her usual carefree self, but a trace of sadness lingered in her eyes.
"Let's smile! Sakura-nee definitely wouldn't want us to watch her disappear with those expressions."
Kiana leaned against the wall, silently wishing that Sakura could be reunited with her sister.
There will always be a world where all Thirteen Flame-Chasers live wonderful, everyday lives.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Ling looked at Sakura with curiosity.
"Nothing."
Sakura shook her head, Remembrance flashing through her mind.
"It was like having a dream..."
"It's the last bit of time."
Sera extended an invitation to Kiana.
"Want to go up to the Phantasmoon together?"
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, she agreed."
Sera waved her phone; the screen was still showing the private chat from the Xuzhao.
"Heh~"
Kiana chuckled softly.
"Great, that really suits you."
Let's go, everyone.
Sera arrived at a docking station prepared by Pearl, where Himeko was waiting outside the carriage.
"Taking the Astral Express to Trailblaze the Phantasmoon, doesn't that feel like a grand finale?"
Sera smiled, Cyrene curiously looked around the train; this was her first time actually going inside a carriage.
"Yes, it's like... going back to the past..."
Kiana reminisces about the past, about the day it all ended, when she was also on a train heading to her final destination.
"However, our final destination this time is— Phantasmoon!"
Sera snapped her fingers, and the sky opened up, revealing the Phantasmoon that was gently watching over them.
"Uh-huh!"
Himeko's eyes lit up.
"This is the first time on record that we've ever reached the Phantasmoon; it's truly Trailblaze!"
"I'm also quite interested in Phantasmoon."
Herta scrutinized Phantasmoon. Although her current feelings towards Xuzhao were merely... disdain. Yes, Xuzhao's behavior only fueled Herta's disdain. One could only say, "Truly, as expected of Aha!"
Although Herta wasn't interested in the Aeon of Elation, Xuzhao, since it already had someone of higher rank by its side, it was quite interested in Phantasmoon.
Actually, it's because Sera loves the moon, and so does the Herta. To her, Sera... truly is like a ray of moonlight...
Black Tomb decided to go back and check out the Xuzhao from her own timeline, though she didn't have high hopes for it. After all, she had seen what the Xuzhao looked like here.
Ruan Mei remained silent, but it was clear that she was also very interested in Phantasmoon.
Feiying's eyes were also filled with curiosity. She had always been interested in the train that Xuzhao had been longing to see, and now she finally had the opportunity to board it and take a look.
However... Feiying's expression unconsciously darkened. If only Sister Ying could stay a little longer and board the train with her...
"Good afternoon, Conductor!"
Good afternoon, passenger Sera.
Pom-Pom was cleaning with the machine when she saw Sera and greeted her.
"The train is ready for its first Trailblaze after its restart."
As Pom-Pom spoke, she strode into the engine room.
The loudspeaker came on.
"The train is about to jump. Please be seated and hold on tight."
Next stop -- Phantasmoon.
Star trails begin to emerge beneath the train and extend directly to the Phantasmoon.
"Hmm~ How could this scene be complete without this?"
Xuzhao stood on the Phantasmoon and stretched out his hand, sticking a sign on the outside of the carriage.
[To the moon]
"That's perfect!"
Xuzhao nodded in satisfaction.
She was both the hostess and the Nameless, so naturally she had to be prepared to entertain her!
However... as everyone knows, Aha —that is, the Xuzhao what she invests in, so the Phantasmoon is desolate, with nothing but a sea.
"You're here."
The Xuzhao stretches out and rests its hand above its eyes, gazing into the distance. The Astral Express is descending towards the Xuzhao's location.
"Hi~ Did the White Kitty miss me?"
As soon as Sera stepped off the train, she heard Xuzhao's voice, and her previously calm expression instantly turned into one of disgust.
"Go! Go! Go."
Sera waved her hand, as if shooing away some insects.
"Waaah, the White Kitty doesn't like me anymore..."
Xuzhao took off his glasses and, feigning sadness, gently wiped away nonexistent tears.
Although everyone present knew Xuzhao's true identity and what kind of person she was, seeing this scene still made them cover their faces, wondering if this girl was really Aha.
Even Aha wouldn't have such a district, would it?
"Come on..."
Sera crossed her arms and posed a soul-searching question.
"Why is your place just a lake, with hardly any decorations?"
"Aha..."
The Xuzhao turned its head away.
I'm completely broke.
"Well..."
Sera shook her head.
"You really are something else. If you don't mind, I'll decorate it a little."
"No problem, no problem!"
Xuzhao's eyes lit up.
How could I possibly find it unacceptable!
"Okay."
Sera nodded and reached out to open a door.
"Come out, Sella."
After the final battle, he stored Sera's companion in his spatial storage, and the dragon obediently went to sleep inside.
