Shinji Matou At Your Service

Chapter 626: Apocrypha Epilogue (two in one)

Views:

In his study in Milenia, Shakespeare was humming a tune while writing his manuscript with great interest.

"This time, there is no doubt that the evil Demon King and Empress were defeated. Although it cannot be said to be a happy ending, it is already quite good. As the saying goes, 'The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together'; nothing can be perfect, even our work."

To him, victory or defeat in a war was just a matter of changing the place where he wrote. He was a powerless writer who only needed to faithfully fulfill his duties as a writer - this was also the agreement between him and the mysterious master who had already left.

Shakespeare loved to write, and he loved to finish the works he was writing.

At his level, he no longer cares about other people's praise. As long as he can make an already interesting story even more interesting, that is everything to him.

He believes it.

Believe in people's dreams, believe in people's ambitions, believe in people's anger.

In this world, interesting and fun things will never disappear. Even if they do disappear, I will provide them.

This story is also very interesting and fun.

All people are trying their best to survive and think. Whether it is tragedy or comedy, or something else, recording all of this is a supreme happiness for him.

"Whether it's a Heroic Spirit, a human, a magician, or even an artificial human, the materials are the same. 'We are such stuff As dreams are made on';... Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's dream, Semiramis' dream, Jeanne d'Arc's dream, Matou Shinji's dream. If you don't record these intense and illusory dreams, you're still a writer!"

As Shakespeare typed on the keyboard faster and faster, his ideas flowed like a spring. Long passages of text flowed out from his fingertips, turning into magnificent chapters that were also recorded in human history.

After typing the last period, the great writer thought for a moment and opened a new document.

"I'd better write an apocryphal article to describe the current situation of the surviving participants. I believe many people would like to read it."

"Since it's an apocryphal text, just write it casually. It doesn't need to be so formal."

"Well, let's do it."

When it comes to writing, Shakespeare always writes whatever comes to his mind, never distinguishing between day and night.

After the war, the participants of the Thousand World Tree Clan returned to their base camp, the city of Mirenia, and while repairing the castle that was damaged in the war, they also actively worked to negotiate with the Clock Tower.

Because of the intervention of the "Second Magician", the Clock Tower did not pursue the rebellion of the Thousand World Tree Clan too much, but only imposed some symbolic punishments and let it go. Although more than half of the lords expressed dissatisfaction with this, they abandoned their original insistence without any scruples under the temptation of the old man's "three new disciples".

Although becoming a disciple of "Jewel Master" is basically equivalent to being a useless person, there are exceptions, and this is also a good opportunity to get closer to the undisputed giant of the mysterious world. In a blink of an eye, the lords of the Clock Tower threw the rebellion of the Thousand World Tree Clan out of their minds, and everyone ran back to their respective departments, working day and night to select candidates, and constantly making a commotion.

Against this backdrop, the aftermath of the Holy Grail War was quietly resolved in just half a month. To show his sincerity, the current head of the family's younger brother, Corles Fulveji Thousand Worlds Tree, enrolled in the Clock Tower and became a member of the "El-Melloi Classroom", known as the "problem children's shelter".

Along with Koles came Chiron, who went by the alias of Kalon Thousand World Tree. As a teacher, he was very interested in the highest and largest institution of learning in this mysterious world.

For unknown reasons, the information about the "incarnation" of a Servant of the Thousand World Tree Clan was strictly restricted, and only the core personnel of the Clock Tower were informed. Thanks to this, Chiron's entry into the Clock Tower did not cause any waves, except for the senior members of the "Spiritual Advent Department". These people almost worshipped Chiron as a god, and only asked Chiron to cooperate with them in regular experiments.

By the way, after learning Chiron's true identity, El-Melloi II went to great lengths and finally persuaded this legendary teacher to come to the classroom to teach.

According to reliable intelligence, Chiron's popularity in the Clock Tower soared after he started teaching, almost comparable to that of the classroom owner, El-Melloi II. Moreover, because of his hearty smile and gentle personality, he became the new "the person that the women in the Clock Tower most want to have a relationship with" (the previous one was Waver himself).

According to insiders, El-Melloi II, who was known for his "overwork", repeatedly shouted in his rented house on the day of the class, "Finally, I don't have to work overtime anymore..." and quickly gave himself a week off, staying in the house playing games.

On the other hand, although they did not obtain the Holy Grail, the executors still collected enough data. Based on this and the technical strength of the Clock Tower, the lords are confident that they can reproduce similar miracles. As long as there is a glimmer of hope leading to the "root", they will work hard. This is the meaning of the magician's inheritance.

Now that we have finished talking about the Clock Tower, let’s talk about things other than the Clock Tower.

Three days after the war ended, Leticia left Romania and returned to France. The most obedient and well-behaved student suddenly left school and was missing for more than ten days. Although her roommate asked for leave on her behalf, as time went by, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the school. Going back as soon as possible was the best choice. The reason for the three-day delay was that the Thousand World Tree Clan had to prepare a suitable reason, and secondly, Leticia and Jeanne were reluctant to leave these friends who had fought side by side.

Yes, Jeanne also stayed. I don't know if it was because the Greater Holy Grail didn't fulfill the wish and didn't force the summons to end. Jeanne also wanted to take a good look at this world, so she continued to possess Leticia.

However, from the moment she boarded the plane, her external consciousness became Leticia. Joan of Arc wanted to experience the life of an ordinary girl from the perspective of an outsider in order to make up for the regrets in her life - this was a suggestion jointly proposed by Shinji and Leticia when the two of them were staying up late to draw.

After leaving the utopia, Altria stayed with Mordred in the real world for about a week, which was the limit of her stay. As the unstable factors left, the slightly relaxed world order began to gradually return to normal. As an employee of the restraining force and an existence that was incompatible with the times, she had to return to the inner side of the world, otherwise she would be rejected by the real world.

Although the time was short, it was a very dreamy time for Mordred. The father he had longed for recognized him, and the two lived together as father and son, laughing and playing together, enjoying delicious food together. Everything he had hoped for in his life had come true, and that smile from the heart was recorded by Lion Robbery and became the most precious memory.

After Altria returned, Mordred and Lion Jie went to the Middle East together, which was the most chaotic area in both the secular and mysterious worlds. Both of them were restless people, and a stable daily life was just a holiday and entertainment. The smoke of the battlefield was where they were used to going.

Soon after, the entire mercenary community knew that the famous Lion Jie Jieli had a partner who was even more fierce than him. When you hear a "roar" and see a military Humvee rushing towards you in a way that violates the laws of physics, and there is a girl on it carrying a new RPG, it must be these two.

At about the same time, the Thousand World Tree Clan also completed the aftermath and the members went their separate ways.

Avisbron and Roger left the city of Mirenia and went to the workshop of the Forain family to continue their research.

At the end of the battle in the garden, the highly anticipated "original titan" Adam used all his strength to clamp the nine-headed serpent Hydra and the poisonous dragon Bashyum, creating an opportunity for Chiron and others to kill them. As a price, Adam was turned into pieces and could no longer achieve the goal of "saving mankind."

However, Avisbronn did not regret it. Salvation came only after the world survived, and this was also a choice Adam made with his own will. As for whether another original giant would be born in the future and whether he would continue to save mankind, this is another story.

Sieg and Astolfo started their world tour, which was planned before the final battle. The first stop was the Netherlands, which Shinji strongly recommended. The superficial reason was that the Netherlands was beautiful and you would definitely like it. But in reality, well, everyone knows.

Gold also left, bringing Dur and some of the androids back to the Mujik family. On the one hand, he conducted research on the life extension of androids, and on the other hand, he wanted to educate his son well to prevent him from following his old path.

In his words -

"That's my son. If I don't beat him up now, he'll become my second self. I want to make him see the reality and tell him that our family is full of hopeless losers. The fact that we were once winners has long become a fairy tale in a distant country."

"That was a nightmare."

Behind Gerd, Dur said this with a nonchalant expression.

"But it doesn't matter. If it comes to that, I'll hit him hard with this."

The so-called "this" is the Fantasy Great Sword obtained from Sieg. Now Dur can use this treasure freely, and it is no problem to release the real name when necessary. With her protection, there is no need to worry about safety even if there are no servants following.

"Please don't show mercy." Gold casually sold his own son, who didn't look like his biological son at all.

"Well, that includes you—you are the father, and you must take on the responsibilities of a father."

Dur glanced coldly at his creator, who sighed helplessly.

"Worse than a nightmare."

Of course, in the eyes of others, these two people are indeed a very good pair. With them around, the Mujik family may really be able to usher in a revival.

Fiore, Achilles and Atalanta stayed in Milenia to continue to fulfill their promise.

Fiore, who is no longer dependent on a wheelchair, mobilized the resources of the entire Thousand World Tree family to help Atalanta open an orphanage and charity foundation. Starting from Romania, it has already taken in a group of orphans and provided financial assistance to some poor families.

Atalanta devoted great enthusiasm to this cause, and she felt very happy every time she saw the children's smiles.

It is worth mentioning that such a purely money-burning charity with no returns is naturally impossible to be without resistance, and there have been more than one voice of opposition within the family. The Thousand World Tree is a union of declining families, with a complex composition and many factions. There are also many people who do not want Fiore to become the head of the family.

However, in the face of absolute power, no matter how loud the voice is, it is meaningless. A flower protector was bored, and when he heard someone picking a fight, he went up to each person to have a "cordial and friendly" conversation. Achilles prefers to cure all kinds of disobedience rather than playing with children. In this era when the gods have left, his "brave flower that never withers" is equivalent to invincibility.

Soon, no one dared to raise any objections, and Fiore's dominance was almost as great as that of Danic.

Rokudo Reika and Little Jack were also busy. Little Jack was the leader of the children in the orphanage, while Rokudo Reika became Fiore's think tank. This natural strategist finally had a place to exert her power. The revival of the family and the punishment of the voices of opposition were mostly her work. It was because of her assistance that Chiron could leave with peace of mind.

Under the integration of the two, the Qianjieshu family has taken on a new glory. It can be predicted that in the not too distant future, this family will take off the hat of the useless alliance and truly gain its own place, and these two women will definitely become big figures who are feared by all.

However, looking at the thriving scene before their eyes, the two future big men did not have too much joy. The family's development was certainly due to their efforts, but more importantly, it was due to the resources left by the guy who left without saying goodbye. He quietly arranged everything before leaving, leaving them a stable home.

But the man they cared about the most disappeared and never came back. Only in dreams could they occasionally see that familiar figure, and when they woke up, there were tears in the corners of their eyes.

"Will we ever meet again?"

...

"—Of course. As long as you have hope, miracles will happen."

In a corner outside the Type-Moon Universe, a black-haired young man with a similar smile to Amakusa Shiro Tokisada closed his book and casually threw out a blue crystal.

"If I do this, will it give that guy another rival for the throne? Never mind, you were the one who flirted with the girl, and it's none of my business if she gets chopped off."

The crystal sank into the earth and disappeared in a flash.

"What are you doing?" A woman in an evening gown, exuding a decadent air, walked over with light steps.

"Nothing. I read Shakespeare's new work and was touched. I decided to send him another gift."

"That incompetent writer? Did he actually write it?"

"Yeah, do you want to see it?"

"Okay, let me see how he can make up stories." The woman hesitated for a moment, but still took it.

"You won't be disappointed." The young man smiled confidently.

"Since you admire him so much, why don't you take him with you?"

"I invited him, but he refused. He said that the world outside might be bigger, but he loved the world he once lived in the most, and he was satisfied to continue writing there."

"That's a very Caster-esque answer."

"Yeah, yeah."

"In other words, I'm the only one on your pirate ship?" The woman raised her eyebrows in pretended displeasure.

"Do you regret it?" the young man asked.

"A little bit."

"It's too late. You're already on this pirate ship and you still want to run away. I don't want to save face."

"I won't run away." The woman shook her head, "But you have to be prepared. I might betray you one day. I am the oldest poisoner."

"Can you?" The young man raised his head with clear eyes.

The woman did not answer, nor did she need to answer. When it comes to betrayal, no matter how you answer, it is meaningless. Only actions can prove it.

"What to do next?"

"Return to my hometown and build the 'Heroic Spirit System'. With the data from this Holy Grail War, the heroes of history can reappear. With their help, we will have a better chance of winning the war against the 'Wandering Star Lord'."

"Is this your real purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War?"

"Not bad. How about being the administrator of this system?"

"That's what I meant. I have never experienced the feeling of ruling over people from another world."

"That's settled then. We're almost at the World Gate. I'll take a look to see if anything interesting has happened recently... Holy shit!!! How can I be so bad!!!"

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the young man's sudden swearing, the woman asked curiously.

"In a certain world line, I am living a miserable life. It's fine if I can defeat my own wife, but how can I defeat other people's wives? It's so shameful... No, I can't stand it anymore. It just so happens that the Heroic Spirit System is just launched and needs testing. I'll use you as a test subject. Playing with resurrection of the dead? Okay, then let's play and see who can beat who!"

There was a gleam in the young man's eyes, and the trajectory of a parallel world changed.

End of this volume.

PS: Written at the end.

The long FA volume is finally finished. It took nearly half a year and a total of 300 chapters. During this period, I encountered various problems and received many negative reviews, but no matter what, this volume has been completed. Whether it is a book friend who thinks it is okay, a book friend who thinks it is not good, or a book friend who has opinions on Shirou's existence, I want to say thank you for your hard work and support. Let's meet in the next volume. Although the next volume is a transitional volume and will not be so long, it is still very exciting. There is a warm-up for "Tsukihime", "The Second Generation Incident Book", a pit buried for "Fate Strange Fake" (not necessarily filled), a trip to China, and you will meet that influential figure and chat and laugh with him (this can only be mentioned vaguely. The internal information is that the film is OK, but the positive description is not OK), and there are more exciting stories. More importantly, no one steals the show this time, so stay tuned.
