“Thank you very much—”
With Caules and Fiore’s assistance, Shirou Emiya successfully opened all twenty-seven of his Magic Circuits. According to Caules, given Shirou's missing arm, it should have been impossible to activate all twenty-seven circuits.
But since it had already happened, Caules naturally had no grounds to question it. Instead, he diligently took notes while assisting Fiore, making Shirou feel somewhat awkward.

"By my count, it should be just about time, right?"
A few days later, Kagura's enrollment procedures were finally complete. With the notice in hand, she brought her luggage to the gates of Tracen Academy the very next morning.
When she'd gone to tutor Nice Nature a few days back, she had also exchanged contact information with her. Nature had arranged to meet her at eight o'clock this morning so they could enter together, and asked Kagura to show her around. Now it was 7:45. Kagur...

Since Rudolf still had to maintain her training schedule, and with Kagura's admission procedures now in motion, Speed-sama's group didn't linger long in Niigata. On the third day, they returned to Tokyo.
Tracen was still in summer recess. According to Rudolf, most students weren't on campus. And since Kagura's enrollment paperwork would take a few more days to process, she spent her time as usual for now.
"Ah! Kagura, you're finally back!"
Basket in hand, Kagura had just ret...

“Today is a rest day. Relax, no need to think about training. Just so happens I’ve got you two young ones here—here, I’ll give you a task.”
The table was almost cleared after breakfast when Speed-sama suddenly spoke, assigning a mission to Maruzensky and Rudolf.
Both turned to her with puzzled looks. Kagura also tilted her head curiously, ready to eavesdrop—only to feel Speed-sama’s hand reach out and gently ruffle her hair.
“This child still doesn’t have p...

After spending most of the day preparing Rudolf’s victory banquet, the exhausted Kagura barely made it through her wash-up before collapsing onto the hotel bed. The moment her head touched the pillow, she was out.
Ever since becoming an Uma, her sleep schedule had become much healthier. She always woke early—and today was no exception. Having finished washing up and changing clothes, she happened to glance out her room window. Through the light morning mist, she saw a familiar chest...

To make it back in time for dinner, Kagura didn’t linger in the stands for long. As promised, Maruzensky tagged along with her, and the two slipped out toward the supermarket to gather ingredients.
“Maruzensky-san, that carrot you picked isn’t very fresh. It’s the kind that usually gets marked down in the evening.”
Maruzensky, far more easygoing about everyday life, clearly lacked Kagura’s eye for produce. Now, staring back and forth between the carrot in her hand and ...

Meanwhile, Rudolf, just off the track and walking down the exit tunnel toward the backstage area, spotted a few familiar faces.
“Yo! Maruzensky, Kagura, Trainer—you all came!”
“Of course I did! How could I miss Rudolf’s debut? That run just now was so—cool! Kagura-chan couldn’t take her eyes off you!”
Arms full of Kagura, Maruzensky offered an exaggerated congratulations.
“Congratulations, ojou-sama. You were really cool out there.”

——That little director… she seems to know me.
Kagura was watching Symboli Rudolf prepare to enter the gate. She had just taken out her phone to snap a picture when words suddenly flickered across the screen—Eclipse’s message.
Eh? Really?

After bumping along on the shinkansen for quite a while, Kagura and the others finally arrived in Niigata.
Symboli Rudolf, it was said, had already come yesterday to prepare. And now Kagura finally understood—today’s event here was Rudolf ojou-sama’s debut race. No wonder Speed-sama had traveled so far.
What a huge stadium…! Can sports events really gather this many people? Isn’t this more like a megastar’s concert?!

Two mornings later, Inari Kagura was up bright and early as always. She changed clothes in a flash, pulled along the luggage she had packed the night before, and then went to make breakfast for Speed-sama, who hadn’t yet risen.
Speed-sama, up even earlier than usual, finished her washing and walked out to see the table already set. One look and she knew—it had to be Kagura who had risen early to cook. The other maids were still off duty at this hour, after all.

Kagura, who had left a little earlier, soon returned to the Symboli household. She hadn’t miscalculated her timing after all—she made it back, put away the mountain of things she had just received, and still caught the chance to help with preparing lunch.
But today, it wasn’t just Symboli Speed at home. After Kagura returned, she learned from the other maids that a guest had also come to visit. Which meant she had to prepare a little more food than usual.

Already transformed into the Vidyadhara High Elder, Imbibitor Lunae, Dan Heng was locked in furious battle with Yanqing and Blade.
Kafka, meanwhile, watched in silence from the sidelines.

A “line” shot out from the Divination Commission, linking all the way to the crown of the Ambrosial Arbor. From it came all sorts of chaotic noises—Tom and Jerry’s battle echoing across heaven and earth.

Jerry crept forward along the dotted “line of sight,” clutching Yevenko in his arms, and Tom followed right behind.
Two mice and one cat moved with extreme caution.
The line was only a single thread, and with the weight of all three already exceeding its limit, every step made it tremble violently.
Even so, Tom pressed on, pan in paw, swatting constantly. Each swing left a mouse-shaped dent on its surface.
Jerry, in turn, wielded a baseball bat—every time Tom hit...

Ruins of the Divine Foresight.
Jing Yuan, like some old janitor, hummed a strangely pleasant tune while sweeping a patch of ground clean with a broom.
Then he carried over a square table and four benches.
Feixiao and the others simply stood there, heads turning as they watched his every move, until Jing Yuan gestured with one hand, lips curved in a warm smile, and said softly:
“Sit.”
Feixiao didn’t care in the slightest. With stiff, straight legs she strode...

Tom grabbed Yevenko in one paw, his right arm instantly retracting.
He stepped slightly away from the mouse hole, then carefully placed his paw on the ground.
Out slid Yevenko, still wearing his nightcap, yawning nonstop. Seeing him again, Tom’s expression lit up with pure joy.
He hurried close, puckering his cat mouth and pecking at Yevenko’s tiny feet like a chick pecking grain.
Jade, watching curiously, burst out laughing.

Pale violet eyes met blood-red scarlet.
Yanqing knew all too well the terror of Jingliu’s sword. He quickly ran to Jade and Yunli, pulling them into hiding.
The three little ones crouched behind a crate, only their heads peeking out to watch the confrontation between Raiden Ei and Jingliu.
Jade’s eyes looked blank. She muttered softly:

Seeing that Natalie was already spent, Helen didn’t push her further. Instead, he opened the last bronze chest—the seventh one.
“A… flower?” Helen stared, stunned, at the crimson bloom floating inside.
Even after all he’d seen in his past life, all the transcendent relics and rare artifacts, he couldn’t identify this thing.
Inside the bronze chest, the flower kept shifting—rose, camellia, lavender, iris—changing species again and again.
Whatever. ...

Leo snapped.
The instant he saw Helen kiss Natalie on her own initiative, his world collapsed.
“Why… why do you get to kiss them? Why? Mother—why do you betray me!” Leo screamed hysterically, his eyes bulging, the fine clothes on his back ripping open as crimson tentacles writhed out from underneath.
Helen didn’t even glance his way. She only held Natalie tighter in her arms. “How’s your condition now? Any better?”

Leo lay dazed on the ground. Only when the dust gradually settled did he see clearly—the butler skewered by the icicle not far away.
“Old man, are you alright?” He scrambled to his feet in panic.
The butler shook his head. He tore away half of his torso, leaving his left chest and arm pinned to the ice.
But when he stood again, the missing parts were already filled with writhing tentacles. His left arm had become one entirely, and the torrent of blood stopped instantly...

The explosion blasted the gates of the manor clean off their hinges. Natalie’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground.
When she woke up earlier this evening, the first thing she’d seen was Evelia and Helen buying explosives from the old priest.

Rovi made his move.
He did not walk toward Uruk’s great wall, nor even stir a step. He simply stood where he was—stood at the rear of that flood of beasts—and unfolded the power of the [Key of Heaven] that he had by now fully mastered.
Above his head, a vast key traced its hazy form across the sky.
With a low chime—like a bell ringing clear and bright—it reverberated, falling into every heart.
The soldiers atop the great wall were stirred by ...

Rovi stood upon a high ground from which Uruk could be seen. Behind him, the King’s Treasury unfolded in an instant.
But he did not act right away.
Before the beasts drew near—before there were casualties—he still wanted to see just how far Gilgamesh had brought the power of human civilization into order.
And just then, a great roar shook heaven and earth. The thundering of the monsters’ stampede rose like it would overturn the entire world.

Seven days’ time—long or short, depending—but in this moment of storms and shifting tides, it was enough to bring great changes to this land.
What those changes were, Rovi did not yet know.
Only that, when he turned back on the road leading toward Uruk’s royal city, he saw lands fully restored to green life, and villages scattered across the fields.
But among all this, suddenly there were no people.
Of course, those who had once waited for his “resurrection...

When Eresh let those words slip out, it could be said she had summoned up all her courage.
For her, this really was a once-in-a-lifetime chance—because she had appeared in a form close to her true body.

If not for that, he never could have died.
Even if, after exhausting himself, he had taken a furious blow from the Bull of Heaven—so long as his body still retained some degree of integrity, at most he would only have fallen unconscious for a while.

Even though little angel Urara did her best to heal and cheer them each day, Rice Shower and the others’ motivation still dropped noticeably.

Even if they were unwilling to the bone, the male trainers still had to board the school bus driven by the old uncle and head to Tracen Academy.

Symboli Rudolf carried Mizuno Sora on her shoulder, happily running along the Uma-only path toward Tracen Academy.
Even though plenty of Rudolf fans spotted her along the way, Mizuno’s sense of presence was so low they only saw Symboli Rudolf alone. They just assumed she was passing through, and so no rumors of “Rudolf abducting a civilian man” were stirred up.
Of course, being able to carry Mizuno back to Tracen without hindrance was a blessing. But the fact that it went so...
