In the Raikage’s office, three sly middle-aged men were deep in a heated discussion.
“Lord Raikage, I really think we need to be cautious,” Tsuchishige said seriously, his brows furrowed.
“According to our intel, Four-Tails Son Gokū has always been in Iwagakure. So why did he suddenly appear on the battlefield in the Land of Grass? That’s suspicious.
And why did the mysterious man choose the Land of Grass as the battleground instead of somewhere else? Also suspici...

On the battlefield in the Land of Grass...
Four-Tails, bullied by Reiji, let out a deafening roar.
He was furious!
That shameless bastard not far off had completely pushed him over the edge.
Just thinking about how his big toe might stay flattened for a long time—and could even develop paronychia—made Son Gokū seethe with rage.
“ROAR!”
In the next instant, Son Gokū gathered strength. A scorching stream of magma burst from his mouth, aimed straight...

A full moon hung high in the sky, like a luminous pearl, casting its silvery glow over the silent expanse of Las Noches.
Once a mere pile of ruins, the palace had been reconstructed with massive white stone, standing tall beneath the moon’s radiance. Together, they formed an eerie yet majestic sight in Hueco Mundo.

A faint rustling echoed through the sea of sand.
A figure streaked across the desert like a bolt of lightning.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, half a year had passed.
A lot can happen in six months.
The first major event: Just like he had done for Tsukushi and Pony, Haruki specially crafted two vials of blood containing his cultivation memory legacy—one for Chelsea and one for Cornelia. After drinking it, both of them transformed into Progenitor Vampires, just like Tsukushi and Pony.
Originally, Haruki had intended to wait until the story reached its end before giving any of...

The Mion River, nearly twenty meters deep, had been completely transformed into a massive, living tank of water.
The creatures bred within this monstrous tank were the giant sea beasts summoned by Caster.
As they charged from the riverbank onto the water, the fog conjured by Morgan to obscure their sight gradually began to lift—clarifying their vision once again.
It was then that Artoria realized just how numerous the sea demons had become. She swung her sword with force, ...

Tenkei Shiomi’s car sped through the streets, heading straight for the banks of the Mion River.
The two members of Saber’s camp buckled their seatbelts, joining Shiomi and Morgan in action.
They hadn’t chosen to ride with the King of Conquerors again—clearly, Irisviel’s body couldn’t handle any more jolting. A smoother, more stable ride was the only option.
Still, they hadn’t expected Shiomi’s driving to be so aggressive.
Then again, with massive magica...

A quiet sigh echoed after Artoria finished speaking.
The one who sighed was Morgan.
Unlike the disapproval in Iskandar’s expression or the mockery that followed Gilgamesh’s words, a touch of melancholy appeared on the witch’s snow-pale face.
No one knew why she sighed.
“Even knowing the truth, understanding how it ends, you still cling to the dream of saving Britannia?” A trace of reluctance and resignation flickered in Morgan’s eyes. “No matter how much ...

He remained aloof, yet didn’t deny Morgan’s statement.
“So what Berserker said was true?” Iskandar couldn’t help but show some interest. His reign had been over three hundred years before the Age of Man, and it had already been more than seven hundred years since the King of Magecraft returned the Mystery.
The Age of Gods still felt somewhat distant to Iskandar.
“Fools. You don’t understand the Age of Gods at all, nor do you grasp the true nature of gods,” Gi...

It was clear that the King of Heroes had already begun to regard Iskandar as his true rival in the Holy Grail War.
But the King of Conquerors didn’t seem to mind. Like Gilgamesh, he simply kept smiling, enjoying the modest banquet.
Shiomi was about to turn the conversation over to Morgan when she spoke first, catching his gaze halfway.
“I have no wish to entrust to the Holy Grail.”
“What?”
Artoria was stunned.
Iskandar and Gilgamesh also revealed ...

However, he hadn’t expected Gilgamesh to be invited too. Shiomi had no doubt this was yet another one of Iskandar’s impulsive whims.
“I didn’t expect you to choose such a cramped and suffocating place to host a ‘Banquet of Kings.’ That alone speaks volumes about your worth. I came here specifically—how do you plan to apologize?”
Though Gilgamesh had taken a seat, his crimson eyes stared arrogantly at the King of Conquerors.
Rider simply laughed, brushing off ...

“Banquet?”
Shiomi was taken aback.
Shiomi didn’t know of any banquet plans, so it was clear this must’ve been something the self-indulgent King of Conquerors had decided on his own.
Hiding behind Rider’s massive frame, Waver looked at Shiomi and Morgan with an expression that teetered between fear and hostility. But Shiomi could clearly read the words written all over his face: I want to go home.
“Yes, a banquet.”
With that, the King of Conquerors, ...

After taking a bath, Shiomi finally felt the fatigue gradually rising.
He put a towel around his neck, changed into his home clothes, and stepped outside, but couldn't see Morgan anywhere. Both children were asleep in their respective bedrooms—they were already able to sleep on their own, which meant that Shiomi didn’t have to worry so much most of the time.
He looked around the room casually and eventually found Morgan sitting on the floor facing the garden, her feet resting ...

“They really are just kids,” Shiomi said, glancing in the rearview mirror at Caren and Sakura, who had fallen asleep leaning against each other.
Morgan smiled faintly. “It’s good for children. When they’re happy, they go out and play. When they’re tired, they fall asleep. While other kids their age are still stuck in school, their parents sneak them out to have fun. If people knew, they’d probably be envious enough to call it unfair.”

Shinto, as the more modern area of Fuyuki City, supports the city's economic lifeline. Despite being separated from Miyama Town by just the Mion River, it has developed at a rapid pace.
Many new establishments open in this district. And since the bus ride from Miyama Town to Shinto doesn’t take long, many residents choose to live in Miyama while working or spending their weekends in Shinto.

Lancer had been defeated, taking down the first group of enemies.
Even after a night of constant combat, Shiomi was in high spirits from the victory. He felt no fatigue at all.
When he returned home, dawn had just broken. Yet it felt as if it had been ages since he'd last been there, and he immediately got to work preparing breakfast for the family.

The battle on the top floor of the Hyatt Hotel had undoubtedly already come to the attention of the Holy Church. So even as the alarms blared, Shiomi knew the Church would take over swiftly, handling the cover-up and cleanup.
Now, all that remained was for him to evacuate the hotel with Morgan.
But before that, one final obstacle stood in their way—the Lancer-class Servant.
At this moment, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne was a bloodied wreck. His light armor hung in tatters, his expos...

He stared at Kayneth, now sealed inside a seamless sphere of mercury. The flames licked helplessly at the surface, unable to penetrate even a fraction of the Volumen Hydrargyrum.
However...
Standing within the heart of the fire, Shiomi folded his arms and watched the mercury sphere intently.
Mercury was inherently toxic. For Kayneth to use it in a Mystic Code, he must have suppressed its poison with mana, or perhaps relied on his Magic Crest to mitigate the risk.

Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald had finally come to a realization.
The Holy Grail War wasn’t merely a contest of honor and life between Magi.
As its name suggested, it was a full-fledged “war.”
Victory meant survival. Defeat meant placing your life in someone else’s hands.
Just like now.
The 24-layer barrier he had always prided himself on was shattered like fragile glass by Tenkei Shiomi.

Although he was known for wielding twin spears, Diarmuid was by no means limited to a single fighting style.
In life, he had possessed four weapons in total—not just the red and yellow spears, but also a red sword and a yellow sword.
When he deemed the battlefield particularly perilous, he would often enter battle with just the red spear and red sword.
As a Servant summoned under the Lancer class, Diarmuid could no longer wield the dual-sword Noble Phantasms, but that didn...

Tenkei Shiomi pushed open the iron door to the 32nd floor emergency stairwell and stepped into the corridor, immediately sensing the signs of magical reconstruction throughout the entire level.
This was unmistakably Magus territory now.
With every step he took, the mana fluctuations from the layered barriers rippled against his senses.

For Kayneth, the barrier’s alarm signaling an intruder wasn’t cause for panic. He even took the time to change out of his battle-soiled clothes and into a fresh set.
Above the 30th floor of the hotel, there was no one else but Kayneth and his group. It was clear that a magical suggestion had driven all unrelated individuals away.
Kayneth appreciated this kind of textbook Magus conduct. Through the barrier and his familiars, he could clearly see who had arrived—it was Tenkei ...

Fuyuki City is split in two by the Mion River. To the west lies the older, more traditional Miyama Town, while the east is home to the rapidly developing Shinto, the economic heart of the city.

The top floor of the hotel had been lavishly reserved by a single guest—Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald.

Irisviel looked at her husband lying in shock on the bed and asked Tenkei Shiomi, who was examining his condition.
“He avoided Kirei’s vital strike, but his ribs and internal organs suffered varying degrees of damage.” Shiomi’s hand rested on Kiritsugu’s chest.
When he lifted his hand, a glowing Rune remained behind.
“With this Rune, he should be able to get out of bed and move around after a day or so,” Shiomi said. “As expected o...

Lancer’s Master had already withdrawn.
This was confirmed after Tenkei Shiomi unleashed his Grand Magecraft, wiping out all of Caster’s summoned sea monsters and severely injuring the summoner in the process, forcing Caster to retreat.
After informing Lancer of this, Shiomi returned to the Einzbern Castle with Artoria, carrying the only boy who had survived.

Another reason Kiritsugu Emiya didn’t want to confront Kirei Kotomine so early was simple—he had virtually no tactical data on the man.
Kirei had claimed he lost his Servant and sought shelter from the Holy Church, staying out of the action on the surface. But in reality, he had been using the supposedly retired Assassin to secretly gather intelligence all along.
However, Kiritsugu’s prior investigations had convinced him that Kirei wasn’t just an intel operative. During h...

Shortly after Tenkei Shiomi and Morgan had left their home, Kayneth, fully armed with magical implements and formal Magecraft attire, arrived at the Shiomi residence in Miyama Town along with his Servant, Lancer.
