This is a journey of salvation, not just a story about two people. It seemed to confirm what they had said before. at the same time. The screen suddenly went dark, and the vast galaxy condensed in an instant, with sparkling patterns like star diamonds converging in the video. Sketching the lines, drawing the faces, and finally...it became a group photo of all the members of Chaldea. Ritsuka and Mashu stood on the left and right respectively, while Roman stood in the middle, smiling as he held the golden cup engraved with "Save Humanity Award" and was surrounded by the crowd. The molten fire cyclone condensed into a miniature, and finally swam across the picture. The light-colored lines were engraved with the three words "Chaldea". The crimson background outlines their magnificent epic paintings, and the gilded writing tells the legendary stories. "This picture is really great..." Emiya Shirou murmured in admiration.
In other words, this kind of honor pattern painted for a group alone is unique in the entire editing video. And within the picture, Leonardo da Vinci's narrative continues. She approved of Mashu's wording. "Yes." "During the time that Fujimaru was still asleep, Chaldea had successfully returned to normal space." "Although 60% of the facilities were destroyed, they can be repaired at any time in the future." As he spoke, Da Vinci pulled out an analysis sheet that listed every employee who was still in Chaldea. Those who died or were secretly killed by the Crown Bomber in the beginning were excluded. "Two hundred lives lost due to Leif Lenore's sabotage at the start of Grand Order." "There are currently forty-seven Masters in cryopreservation. And..." Ms. Da Vinci paused, and finally calmly told the truth that no one wanted to face: "... and one person who failed to return from the final singularity." “We cannot recover these losses.” Here. The voice was choked. All that was left was to remember the acquaintance who was walking away holding the flowers. The person who walks towards the farther shore, carrying the bright flowers and applause of the crowd. Dr. Romani Ajman. "One of the people who failed to return...as expected...is..." Both Ritsuka and Mashu were silent.
Leonardo da Vinci also realized how inappropriate it was to discuss such topics at this time. "Hmm. I actually made the wrong choice. Let's talk about this depressing topic when things calm down." "As long as external personnel are sent over, the Masters in cryopreservation should be able to wake up." "Chaldea will be able to recover soon. What's important is the future, Fujimaru." from now on……? "Yeah. We just reconnected to the outside world. It's a mess outside, eh?" "After all, there is no memory of this entire year! Goetia was destroyed, but Humanismoku was denied." "But the blank year cannot be treated as non-existent. From the perspective of outsiders, it is like waking up to find that a year has passed." "It seems that the Magic Association will also send an envoy as soon as possible. There is no doubt that all intellectual activities on Earth have stopped within this year. You must report the reasons and process." "That's right. A group of guests will arrive tomorrow. Chaldea will probably be busy again." One year.. Completely empty! ? "..." 【Someone will come to investigate.】 Mashu was stunned when she heard what Da Vinci said: "Speaking of which, dear Da Vinci. In this way, all the servants will..." Mashu was sure that the power in her body had gradually disappeared. The one standing here now is Mashu as a human being, not Mashu as a Servant. "Yes, they will leave one after another. Because the problem of the burning of human principles has been solved. There is no point for them to stay in Chaldea. The only ones who will stay are those who are busybodies like me who have been here since before the Grand Order began, or those unique Servants who cannot sit idly by and watch Fujimaru." At this point, she noticed that Ritsuka looked a little lonely and regretful, and then... her words became more ambiguous - "Of course, the spirit base models have been preserved. If there is a need to transfer spirit particles, the contract can be concluded as before." Hearing the sound, Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other in surprise, and both noticed that each other's eyes could not hide their joy. "Yeah. Otherwise it would be too lonely." Mashu explained, but then exclaimed: "...Ah. But soul transfer...that..." The confidentiality of the transfer of spirit particles requires authorization from high-level officials. Just like now, it is because the outside world cannot restrain Chaldea that things can become so unobstructed. but now... "Yes, we can't do it casually like before. The transfer of spirit particles can only be carried out with the permission of the United Nations and the Association." Sure enough, under the slightly frustrated gazes of the boy and girl, Da Vinci told the truth: "Now that everything has returned to normal, it is very likely that the transfer of soul particles has been banned..." "But, we'll sort things out when the time comes! If things are headed in the wrong direction, I'll find a way to deal with issues like power and responsibility!"
Along with it, there was a burst of Fu Fu's soft cry. This sound also seemed to remind Da Vinci. She was absent-minded for a moment, then showed a familiar smile. [Okay. Anyway, this is the situation in Chaldea.] "Although I know you have many things to worry about, there is one priority right now." Priority things? He looked over again with confusion. However, this time, Ms. Da Vinci did not answer immediately as usual. "Fujimaru, Mashu. Set the device to these coordinates." As she spoke, her charming smile remained. "No big deal, it's only less than a kilometer away. It won't take more than twenty minutes one way." "Luckily, today is a day that doesn't come around once a year. Don't miss it." "Okay, go ahead. Go check what you've recovered." [Confirm, what I have taken back] Ritsuka was so surprised that he didn't have the energy to reply. Until the palm of his hand was pinched by slightly cool fingers, he noticed the ethereal and clear voice of the girl beside him: "Yes! The mission is understood! Let's go, senior!" They looked at each other again, and the cyanotic pupils reflected Da Vinci's faint smile. The rhythmic music sounded synchronously, and Mashu grabbed Ritsuka and ran towards the other side of the narrow path. The first song of "Colors" sounded clear to the ears along with the performer's lyrics. Corresponding to it. Looking at the Master and Servant running away with excitement. Da Vinci restrained the smile he had maintained till then, turned around and went back to the laboratory, then turned his head to look at the group photo placed in the most conspicuous place in the room. Looking at the corner where the face could not be seen clearly due to the dimming of the light, he put the photo frame in place with a gentle smile and returned to work. The people of Chaldea also continued to do the work of maintaining order. And when the song reaches its climax, the light of the boys and girls' soul transfer blooms. Then...the melody disappeared. Instead, there is a hazy and majestic snow scene. There is no storm to block the way, no bone-chilling gale. Only the Master and his Servant were left standing on the top of the snowy field.
The sky is a deep blue, so beautiful and flawless. This was also Mashu's original wish... to see the world outside Chaldea, to see the blue sky. "The snowstorm has stopped...!" Ritsuka was stunned: "How blue it is" It seems like a scenery that I often see in the past. But the scenery this time is different from the past. It is not a remnant of a bygone era, nor is it an illusion of yesterday. It really exists.. "This is the real sky. Our time, our Earth..." Mashu whispered softly. It was these words that finally made Lixiang realize that this blue sky was different from the past. "...Ah. I almost forgot." He sighed, his emerald green pupils penetrating the light curtain, warm and bright. The tranquil snow-free zone, the two standing side by side quietly, standing alone in the territory of the snowy mountain top. Admiring and watching. Until Mashu spoke again. "……doctor." "The doctor said so before." "There are always blizzards outside Chaldea, but the sky will occasionally clear up and you can see beautiful stars. He also said that one day, I will be able to see such a scene. There is no evidence, but he said it with a smile." "..." [Hmm, that sounds like something a doctor would say.] This is a doctor's dream. doctor.. After saying this, Mashu nodded silently: "... Yeah. I am very grateful to be alive now. With the help and encouragement of many people, I can see this sky." "…Although it has been a difficult year and a difficult assignment, it is all precious." "…What do you think, Senior?" At this point, the girl squinted her eyes at the familiar figure beside her, and said with a clear smile: "Looking back, Senior accidentally agreed to Chaldea's recruitment and was adopted to enter here as an outsider Master. Moreover, before knowing his mission, he was involved in the incident and has been fighting until now." The girl wanted to know—— [What kind of existence is the Grand Prix Designation Journey to you, Seniors? 】 What kind of existence is it?
Perhaps even Ritsuka couldn't explain this clearly. Or rather, he knew it too well. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to add some psychological description at this time, after all, the narration is from the first-person perspective of Ritsuka's seat. but-- From the audience's perspective, it's a completely different experience. "Of course it must be the same as Mashu." The girl's eyes widened at the boy's words.
