Hokage’s office.
Reiji sat leisurely on the guest sofa, sipping a cup of hot tea.
Beside him sat Danzō Shimura, face dark as thunder.
No one really knew why, but Reiji had suddenly sought him out, claiming he had a huge business deal to discuss—so huge, he said, it’d make Danzō willing to wash his underwear.
Like hell! I’d rather die in a ditch than wash his damn underwear!
Still, after much grinning and relentless pestering from Reiji, Danzō begrudgin...

Epilogue
Three months later...
Compared to the frigid winter during the Fourth Holy Grail War, spring in Fuyuki was pleasantly mild—perfect for a stroll or a bit of leisure.
“So... Kirei Kotomine’s body is still missing?”
In a quiet café, Irisviel von Einzbern sipped her coffee as she spoke to Tenkei Shiomi across the table. Waver Velvet was seated beside them.
“Yes. Neither the Holy Church nor the Mage’s Association has found any trace of his body,...

“This is... the underground cavern where the Greater Grail lies.”
In all his years in Fuyuki, this was the first time Tenkei Shiomi had truly set foot at the heart of the Greater Grail.
With him were Morgan and the allies who had just fought by his side.
The vast, open sky above and the barren earth below made it easy to forget this was all underground. The cavern stretched nearly three kilometers in diameter, and at the end of the path they walked stood a wall-like form...

Morgan stared in shock at Tenkei Shiomi, his body battered and covered in wounds.
This man had just finished a grueling battle, yet without even a moment to catch his breath, he had rushed straight to her side—just like he always had in the “past.”
Holding Morgan in his arms, he skidded several meters across the ground before finally coming to a stop, his eyes fixed on Justeaze floating in the sky.
The Runes triggered a violent explosion that engulfed Justeaze as well....

Morgan descended slowly onto the earthen platform, rejoining Irisviel and Kiritsugu Emiya. Her blue eyes swept calmly over the surroundings.
All the Assassins had been eliminated, dissolving into pools of black mud. Under the forced activation of the Greater Grail, that sludge gathered and began to encircle the platform where Morgan stood, like a creeping swamp.
She glanced at the Command Spell on the back of her hand. Just moments ago, she had created five clones, and to make up ...

After slaying Zanku, Haruki walked slowly to the corpse. He reached out his hand, and a small orb, resembling an eyeball, flew straight into his palm—it was Zanku’s Teigu, the Almighty Five Sights: Spectator.
Holding the Teigu, Haruki approached Akame.
Her face still bore faint traces of tears from the illusion she had just endured.
“Akame, I told you before—if you ever feel like you've been deceived, misled, you can always come back to me. This is your home. Your fa...

The next moment, Rukia spotted the familiar figure, and the weight in her heart finally lifted. She let out a breath of relief, her entire body relaxing.
“Masatsuki Nii-san...”
Without hesitation, she rushed forward and threw herself into Masatsuki Aozaki’s arms.
“What’s wrong?”
Masatsuki Aozaki was slightly puzzled by her flustered state.
Still, on instinct, he reached out and caught the small girl, holding her securely. With practiced ease, he ran h...

These three Vice Admirals, who had served in the military for twenty years, never imagined that after working diligently and loyally for so long, they would finally get the chance to execute a Buster Call—only for it to turn out like this.
On the deck of the flagship, several small tables were set up, with grills and hot tea laid out. Everyone was comfortably sipping tea, sitting on chairs as they watched the spectacle unfold.
In the distance, the island was engulfed in a hail o...

Seeing Daren soar into the sky and vanish into the distance in the blink of an eye, the three Vice Admirals hurried over, unable to hide the envy in their eyes.
Flight was an exceedingly rare ability—across this vast sea, only a handful of Devil Fruits could grant it, making it even rarer than Logia abilities in some respects.
But they knew this wasn't something they could envy into existence.
"Vice Admiral Borsalino, what should we do next?"
"The cannons are fully d...

Just as Artoria had said, Shiomi truly could withstand the burden of releasing "Avalon: The Everdistant Utopia."
Gilgamesh hadn’t anticipated this. He had no idea Artoria still concealed such a Noble Phantasm.
The blow from the Sword of Rupture was not only entirely neutralized, but even reflected back—its force combined with the brilliance of the Holy Sword, slicing toward Gilgamesh.
With no time to dodge at such close range, Gilgamesh summoned the Shield of the Gods in...

In the boundless desert, Tenkei Shiomi was nowhere to be seen.
Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow, sensing the change. Slowly, he lifted his gaze to the sky above. Far overhead, many times higher than his own position, Shiomi was adjusting his stance midair, preparing to dive.
Harnessing the acceleration of gravity to increase his speed, he aimed to rush straight toward Gilgamesh for a decapitating strike.
Within the Reality Marble of the King of Conquerors, not a single cloud marr...

In the backyard of Ryuudou Temple, there was once a pond so clear you could see the bottom. It was said that a dragon god had once dwelled here.
But that was long ago.
What now lay before Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel was a lake of tar, a grotesque mix of red phosphorescence and black sludge.
At its center loomed a monstrous mass, like a mountain of rotting flesh—utterly repulsive.
“What... is that?” Kiritsugu was visibly shaken by the sight.

In this Holy Grail War, Rider had only managed to display one Noble Phantasm—“Gordius Wheel.”
It wasn’t until a few hours ago, during the strategy meeting, that he revealed his second Noble Phantasm out of necessity: “Ionioi Hetairoi.”
The fact that this Noble Phantasm—normally a powerful Bounded Field-type spell wielded by Magi—was possessed by a Rider-class Servant left everyone surprised. But now, having witnessed it with their own eyes, they finally understood....

“Clang!!”
Just as Zanku's twin blades were about to strike Akame, a longsword strikingly similar to Murasame appeared out of nowhere and caught both of his crossing strikes.
In the next instant, a fist came crashing toward Zanku.
“Clang!!”
A piercing shockwave rang out, making even the world around them fall momentarily silent.
Zanku crossed his swords in front of his chest, his face flushed. Though he had used all his strength to block the punch, he was ...

"It looks like Admiral Sengoku is serious this time, actually granting you the authority to launch a Buster Call."
The warship cruised steadily at high speed across the sea. Borsalino strolled over to Daren’s side, his tone light and teasing.
Daren stood at the bow, the cool sea breeze blowing against his face, refreshing and invigorating.
He smiled and said,

Without a moment's delay, Daren changed into a brand-new military uniform and headed straight for the Fleet Admiral's office.
Pushing open the door, he saw Sakazuki standing there, his expression cold and detached.
Sakazuki gave Daren a brief glance before turning his eyes back to Sengoku, his voice sharp and frosty.
"Admiral Sengoku, I still stand by my decision."

The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting its cold, silvery glow over the land. Within Seireitei, all was silent.
A man dressed in fine brocade and jade accessories walked leisurely alongside a girl in tattered clothes, their steps unhurried as they strolled down the wide avenue.
Patrolling Shinigami took notice of the unusual pair and were about to step forward for a closer look.
However, when the leading Shinigami caught sight of the man’s face under the lantern ligh...

Masatsuki Aozaki shook his head.
Yesterday, this woman had enjoyed herself far more than he had.

Yoruichi Shihōin teased, glancing playfully at Masatsuki Aozaki.

“To unleash her full strength, her control over balance is top-tier among us.”
“If Matatabi ranks first, then Kokuō is definitely second.”

Thanks to his insect eyes, Chōmei could see farther than anyone. From his perspective, Kokuō had already stabilized her posture and was preparing to land.

The ground trembled as a terrifying shockwave surged across the battlefield.
The moment Four-Tails hit the ground, it felt like an earthquake had struck. Falling from thousands of meters above, he should’ve been able to twist mid-air and land smoothly.
Too bad Kazuyama had no intention of letting that happen. The crystal dragon had already been lying in wait midair and slammed into Four-Tails Son Gokū with the force of a falling divine weapon.

When Kawakaze received Nonō's message, his heart sank.
He knew it was too late. Nagato was no match for an Impure World Reincarnated Madara.
At this distance, by the time he arrived, all he would see would be Nagato's corpse.
“Wait for me.”
With a dark expression, Kawakaze ended the visual link. Without saying a word to his family, he disappeared from sight.

At midnight, as the clock struck one, the group split into three teams, approaching Ryuudou Temple from different routes.
Iskandar took the ox cart with Waver.
Artoria rode her motorcycle, with Iri seated behind her.

After a brief standoff, Akame made the first move.
For one, Zanku’s recent killing spree had put the security forces on high alert, and with patrols tightening, a prolonged battle risked drawing their attention. Second, Tatsumi had been rendered temporarily unable to fight after Zanku’s earlier blow—if she didn’t take the initiative now, Zanku might seize the opportunity to harm him.

Three days flew by in a flash.
Soon, Reiji and his group returned to the village.
It was noon. The sun blazed overhead, and the air was hot and dry.
Reiji took off his mask and strolled down the street.
Just then, a girl in a work uniform quietly emerged from a nearby alley and slipped up beside him.
It was Meiko, Rie's number one fan.

Reiji raised an eyebrow slightly at her words, then turned to call out to Jiraiya and ...

Soon, the four of them began their journey back.
