—Looking around, none of these are Sakatsuki's skills.

In such a special situation, Sakatsuki could only think of one possibility.

"A Pseudo-Servant, a being created by allowing a heroic spirit to possess a human vessel," the man bent down, using the stream's reflection to see his white hair and golden-red eyes that seemed to hide blood.

"However, what's interesting is that in Pseudo-Servants, the heroic spirit usually takes the dominant position, while the possessed human is generally in a dormant state. Yet, this heroic spirit generously handed over the dominant position to me and fell into slumber."

This is why Sakatsuki, despite being conscious, cannot use magecraft—compared to the meager amount of mana, the original owner of this body seems more adept at wielding weapons and commanding troops.

Although the true name of the Servant fused with Sakatsuki is hidden, based on the fragments in the records and the black Xuan Bird banner he subconsciously summoned in battle, Sakatsuki has already deduced the identity of this heroic spirit.

"However, why would such a great figure appear in this place...?" This is the only point that puzzles Sakatsuki.

But soon, he dismissed the unanswerable question and turned his attention back to the current situation.

His main mission in this Singularity has been determined—to obtain the Holy Grail.

To obtain the Holy Grail, he must step onto the gambling table, and to step onto the gambling table, he must have sufficient chips.

In the war between nations, his chips are the number of soldiers at his disposal, and...

The Servants capable of turning the tide, akin to humanoid nuclear warheads.

A flash of blood light passed through the man's eyes, and then he called for the messenger beside him.

"Notify the scouts to begin their operations tomorrow morning, centered around Pisa, to gather intelligence."

"Yes!" The messenger saluted and then left.

Sakatsuki watched the messenger's respectful figure, knowing full well that this loyalty was not directed at him, but at Rome.

Thinking this, his Spirit Origin conveyed a sense of dissatisfaction.

"However, before the time comes, we shall lie low. To stop killing with killing, to end war with war—our legend has only just begun."

"Let's return, Fate Compendium."

[Received, initiating transfer.] 

A sense of weightlessness enveloped Sakatsuki as his soul was once again lifted infinitely, cast into the vast cosmos.

[Successfully returned to the original worldline. Please re-enter the Singularity within five days!] 

***

Three days later, at the residence of Alice Kuonji.

In the chilly air, the doll-like girl woke up on time.

Changing clothes, washing up, heading to the dining room.

The light pouring through the skylight draped over her hem as she walked through the independent stage between black and white. On this clear day, her pupils reflected the world's light steeped in silence.

Passing through the hall, a white-haired, golden-eyed boy sat upright on a chair, another obscure tome on the table.

Noticing the landlady's arrival, the boy looked up and nodded with a smile. Alice seemed somewhat reluctant but still nodded slightly, stepping into the sunroom amidst the aroma of tea.

In the sunroom, a black-haired, ponytailed ninja in a kimono stood by the table, where a delicious breakfast was already laid out.

The sunlight poured in, gilding Alice Kuonji's eyes with a golden hue, making her look as if she and Katou Danzou were twin sisters.

"Please, Miss Alice."

"Mm."

Outside the dining room, Sakatsuki closed the last page of the book, ensuring he had crammed the last bit of knowledge into his mind, then stood up and stretched.

Three days had passed since returning from the Second Singularity, and his injuries had mostly healed.

The peaceful and pleasant vacation had ended, and it was time to leave.

"Miss Alice, I think it's time for me to bid you farewell."

Alice Kuonji's hand holding the fork stiffened slightly, and she looked up, her black pearl-like eyes fixed on Sakatsuki at the door.

"...Is that so?"

"Yes, after all, I've been bothering you for quite a while," Sakatsuki joked. "You're not going to silence me or erase my memories like you did with Soujuurou Shizuki, are you?"

Though it was just a joke, Alice frowned and asked an unexpected question.

"Who is Soujuurou Shizuki?"

After bidding farewell to the reclusive witch, Sakatsuki and Katou Danzou leisurely walked down the mountain, like a pair of siblings on an autumn outing.

Only, the sister was expressionless, and the brother was deep in thought.

"A strange phenomenon. I appeared after Mahou Tsukai no Yoru, so logically, the previous story shouldn't have been affected by my butterfly effect."

"According to Alice Kuonji, back then, Touko tried to seize the leyline of Misaki City but was driven back by her and Aoko Aozaki... Where did Soujuurou go? What about Aoko's golden wolf, Beo?"

"Shall I investigate, Master?" Katou Danzou asked.

"No need, we're leaving now," Sakatsuki refused. He took out his phone and quickly sent a message to Waver.

Then, Sakatsuki grabbed Katou Danzou's hand and silently recited.

"Fate Compendium, initiate transfer."

[Authority activated, locking worldline... Lock successful.] 

[Initiating transfer.] 

Sensing the familiar energy enveloping him, Sakatsuki took a deep breath and entered combat readiness.

The three-year promise had arrived. Welcome, Dragon King—cough, wrong script.

The Animusphere family... No—The Ainsworths, are you ready to welcome my arrival?

A flash of light. Two figures vanished completely from this world.

If the journey to the Second Singularity had been an accident, then surely a reward personally bestowed by the Fate Compendium, granting him the right to return to his original world, would be free of any issues...

...Right?

Unbeknownst to Sakatsuki, had he delayed his departure just a little longer, his phone would have received an automatic reply.

This space is a completed world.

Darkness and light spots.

In the center of a vast, spherical room dyed black by the night sky, a wooden chair floated.

Though its shape alone was enough to be called luxurious, the faded wood had a charm that didn't evoke dislike, but rather a sense of solemnity that transformed the atmosphere merely by existing.

At first glance, it seemed like a throne for a noble. But if that were truly the case, this chair shouldn't exude such a strong presence that even a head of state sitting on it would be seen as an accessory to the chair, not its master. An ordinary person sitting on it would likely be instantly overwhelmed by the chair's presence.

This is a chair that makes one think such thoughts.

This space was prepared to praise this chair.

The current scene makes one accept such an evaluation, but—

A man, whose solemn aura surpassed even the chair, made the chair's back creak loudly.

"Hmm..."

If this room is a microcosm of the universe, then the man sitting on the chair at its center is enveloped in an aura befitting its master.

This is an elder, appearing to be around 50 to 60 years old. Though his hair and beard were white, his posture was straight, and his robust frame exuded more pressure than a middle-aged man in his prime. The wrinkles on his forehead, brows, and corners of his eyes added a touch of the long passage of time, but none of the frailty of old age.

Most striking were the elder's eyes. Regardless of their colour or any special features, they were simply deep, and profound, like the starry sky around him, endless at a glance, as if they held countless mysteries.

The elder's name is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg.

And before him, a figure with white hair and golden eyes slowly materialized.
