Medea, the true Caster in charge of presiding over the descent of the Greater Grail, the pseudo-Caster Wang Xiaoming who was helping, and Meryll, Wang Xiaoming's assistant who may or may not be a Caster.
These three people were busy surrounding the Lesser Grail placed on the ground. As for how they were busy, they listened to Medea's instructions. Whatever Medea instructed Wang Xiaoming and Meryll to do, they would do.
Behind them, a group of people were watching: Kirei Kotomine and Rin Tohsaka, the sisters, as well as Rider following behind them, and Kojiro Sasaki, who was forcibly summoned from the mountain gate by Caster's Command Seal and possessed the ability to move for a short time. Beside Kojiro Sasaki was Illya.
Illya had already woken up. After Wang Xiaoming and Medea took out her heart, her physical abilities, possessing the heart of a demigod, became stronger and stronger as her heart fused, even giving her the feeling of inheriting Berserker's Twelve Labors. As her physical abilities became stronger, her recovery was naturally faster, so she woke up early.
Waking up in the enemy's base camp, she understood that her Holy Grail War journey was over, but she didn't expect that the Lesser Grail had been replaced.
Under Meryll's expressionless explanation, she learned that although she had withdrawn from the Holy Grail War, she had gained a blessing in disguise, obtaining Berserker's heart, being able to inherit Berserker's power, and not having to die.
Then, when Wang Xiaoming was preparing to summon the Holy Grail, she was also invited to observe.
Having lived for so many years as the vessel of the Lesser Grail, she never thought that she would be invited to observe the descent of the Holy Grail one day. This was originally a ritual that required sacrificing her to trigger!
Under the gaze of this group of people, Wang Xiaoming and Meryll, in cooperation with Medea, set up the summoning site, and then Medea began the summoning.
The Lesser Grail, which looked like it was cast in gold, was placed in the center. Wang Xiaoming and Meryll stood on the periphery, and Medea stood next to the Lesser Grail, reaching out her right hand towards it, and then inputting magic power into it.
The Lesser Grail, which looked like an ordinary vessel, immediately began to glow with golden light after coming into contact with magic power, and slowly rose into the air as the golden light began to rise.
When it rose to a height of about three meters, the ascent stopped, and the light became even more dazzling. After a burst of extremely dazzling light, the light gradually became softer, and the originally small golden cup turned into a huge golden cup. The Greater Grail appeared.
"Master, please make a wish."
Medea looked at the Greater Grail in the sky, revealing a smile, and then privately spoke to Wang Xiaoming through the contract.
"Medea, thank you for your hard work."
Since he wanted to take his wife back, he certainly couldn't call her Caster in private anymore, he had to call her by her name so that Medea could feel close to him.
"It's nothing, Master. From beginning to end, I haven't done anything. It's always been you, Master, who has been running around. As a Servant, I should have been fighting, but I haven't even experienced battle. All of this is thanks to you, Master."
Medea also felt it was quite dreamlike. Originally, when she was summoned, the other party began to hate her just by hearing her title. In a fit of anger, she chose to fight the other party, anyway, she was just a Servant, and if she died, she would just return to the Throne of Heroes.
As a result, after solving the other party, not only did she not die, but she even met a Master who fell from the sky. The other party not only didn't care about her betrayed title at all, but even was willing to help her participate in the Holy Grail War.
As a result, she didn't show her face throughout the Holy Grail War, and she didn't have to do anything. She directly solved all the other Servants, or rather, she directly grabbed them and brought them back.
This made Medea feel that summoning Assassin was perhaps a superfluous act.
Because she summoned Assassin, her own Master, on the contrary, didn't attack Assassin because the other party was on her side. After all, her Master was too kind to people, and his personality was incomparably gentle.
Even if those killed Servants gave this evaluation countless question marks, Medea insisted that her Master was an incomparably gentle person.
And now, for this incomparably gentle Master, Medea has modified the contract between Servant and Master. Even without the existence of the Greater Grail, she can still exist in the world forever through Master's magic power. After all, her Master has too much magic power!
As for the matter of returning to the Throne of Heroes due to losing magic power after losing her Master, if Master disappears, then what's the point of her staying in the world? It's better to return to the Throne of Heroes.
Under Medea's expectant gaze, Wang Xiaoming stepped forward, jumped up, and directly reached out to touch the Greater Grail.
At the moment Wang Xiaoming reached out to touch the Greater Grail, the Greater Grail lit up with light, forcing everyone to close their eyes. When they reopened their eyes, Wang Xiaoming had disappeared from in front of the Holy Grail.
Inside the Holy Grail, Wang Xiaoming came here again. Just like ten years ago in this world, Wang Xiaoming met the will of the Greater Grail, the Winter Saint.
"I didn't expect you to come here again. Welcome."
The will of the Greater Grail still remembered Wang Xiaoming, because he had been here ten years ago.
"Is it you again this time? Then what is your wish?"
Anyway, they were acquaintances, so the Greater Grail didn't waste any words and directly asked Wang Xiaoming what wish he wanted to fulfill.
"Same as last time, I want the key to be able to go to other worlds. This time, is the magic power you have stored enough to create it?"
"It is possible."
The Greater Grail nodded.
"But this time, the stored magic power is not much, so only one key can be forged."
"No problem, one key is also no problem."
After Wang Xiaoming nodded, the Greater Grail immediately began to use magic power to forge the key, just like before, using the stored magic power to forge the key that could open the door to other worlds.
Soon, the key was forged and handed to Wang Xiaoming, and the Greater Grail also completed this wish.
"Then, your wish has been fulfilled. You can confidently choose to leave here."
After speaking, the Winter Saint disappeared, leaving Wang Xiaoming alone in the space within the Greater Grail. Wang Xiaoming also didn't continue to stay here and directly chose to return to reality.
The Fifth Holy Grail War was hereby declared over.
764. Feelings from a Maiden's Heart
Having lost the magic power supply from the Greater Grail, although Rider could still continue to exist in the world by using the ample magic power provided by Sakura Matou, she no longer had the need to continue to stay here. Although very helpless, Rider still returned to the Throne of Heroes, and Assassin was the same. After the Holy Grail disappeared, he also disappeared along with Rider.
After the two Servants had all disappeared, the only Servants in essence left were Wang Xiaoming, the pseudo-Caster, and in reality, only the true Caster, Medea. Because Medea had modified the way magic power was supplied, she continued to exist without any problems under Wang Xiaoming's vast magic power support.
As the Holy Grail disappeared, Wang Xiaoming reappeared in front of everyone, and the time gradually came to 4:00 AM. Some white had already begun to appear in the eastern sky, although it was not enough to illuminate the sky, it was no longer complete darkness.
Have you seen Fuyuki City at 4:00 AM?
Rin Tohsaka can proudly pat her developing chest and say: I have seen it!
It just feels a bit cold.
She didn't feel cold when Archer carried her flying around at night, she didn't feel cold when Wang Xiaoming carried her flying around, but now that things are really over, she actually starts to feel cold.
Faced with the determinedly cold Rin Tohsaka, Wang Xiaoming directly opened a space gate and kicked her in, sending her back to the Tohsaka mansion. As for how to explain to Tokiomi Tohsaka after returning, that was her own business. According to the Tohsaka family's obsession with Wang Xiaoming, this [King Arthur], Wang Xiaoming estimates that if Tokiomi Tohsaka knows that Wang Xiaoming has been summoned again, he will probably be even more obsessed, for example, trying every means to summon King Arthur in the next Holy Grail War, and then seize the victory of the Holy Grail War.
After all, this is only the Fifth Holy Grail War. In the Fourth Holy Grail War, Wang Xiaoming had already purified All the World's Evil, so the Holy Grail can operate perfectly without having to worry about being broken down by some overworked second generation.
So, after this, there will definitely be a Sixth Holy Grail War, and the Sixth Holy Grail War will be sixty years later. According to the means of magicians, living to sixty years later is not difficult. At that time, I don't know what Tokiomi Tohsaka will be like.
However, according to the setting of the Type-Moon world, whether this world has a future is still debatable. Maybe after 2012, humanity will be directly incinerated.
After sending Rin Tohsaka away, on the entire site, only Wang Xiaoming's people plus Sakura Matou and Illya were left.
Wang Xiaoming had seen the Tohsaka family when he was flying before, so he had the coordinates and could directly open a space gate to kick Rin Tohsaka over. As for the Einzbern family, it's a bit different.
"Are you going to the castle outside Fuyuki City, or are you going straight back to Germany?"
Wang Xiaoming asked Illya.
Illya hadn't yet recovered from the end of the Holy Grail War, and was stunned by Wang Xiaoming's question.
"You don't have any acquaintances in Fuyuki City, do you?"
Seeing the little girl's bewildered look, Wang Xiaoming simply asked in detail.
"Anyway, the Holy Grail War is over, I can send you directly back to Germany, but I can only send you to Berlin. As for how to get back to your hometown from Berlin afterwards, that's your own business. Of course, if you want to stay in Fuyuki City, you can. I remember you have a half-brother, that Shirou Emiya. He should still be alive, and you can go live with him. What do you think? Do you want to go home or to your brother's house?"
"He's not my brother!"
Illya felt fine listening to the beginning, but her face immediately changed when he mentioned her half-brother.
She hadn't even met her brother in person yet, and was preparing to go see him, but she ran into Wang Xiaoming halfway, then Berserker was cut down, she was captured, and even the Holy Grail was gone. Fortunately, she didn't die.
"So, you're not going to your brother's house, and you're choosing to return to your own home in Germany? If that's the case, I'll open a door to Germany for you."
Wang Xiaoming confirmed with Illya.
Illya shook her head.
"No need, I have other acquaintances in Fuyuki. They came with me. I want to wait for them to return together."
Illya didn't come to Fuyuki alone. After all, she was just a child. Even though her talent as a mage was excellent due to the special magic circuits of a homunculus, she still couldn't take care of herself in life, so she relied on maids to take care of her.
Of course, the Einzbern family's maids were also homunculi, but these homunculi were mostly used to serve mages, and as front-line battle maids during battles, that is, as so-called meat shields and warriors, to protect the mage behind them.
Illya brought two maids with her this time. She chose to take these two maids back with her.
"It's that castle in the suburbs, right?"
The Einzbern family's inherent asset in Fuyuki City, that castle in the suburbs, is usually empty, but that castle and the surrounding forest within a one-kilometer radius are all Einzbern family territory. Neither the Tohsaka family nor the Matou family would enter it. It has to be said that large families are really rich.
"That's right!"
Illya nodded.
"If possible, please send me there."
Anyway, the Holy Grail War is over, and she's not in the mood to see her half-brother anymore, so she'll just go find her maids and go home with them.
"Okay."
Wang Xiaoming responded, then raised his hand and opened a spatial gate. Unlike kicking Rin Tohsaka through, Wang Xiaoming let Illya walk through herself. This was Illya's first time encountering something like a spatial gate, and she found it quite novel. After observing it slightly, she stepped through the spatial gate.
The crossing of the spatial gate didn't cause too much commotion. After Illya went through, Wang Xiaoming closed the spatial gate and then looked at Sakura, who was left.
"Sakura, you should go back and rest too. It's almost dawn, and I remember your school needs to go to school tomorrow, right?"
"It's okay, Brother Xiaoming, I already asked for leave."
Sakura shook her head, refusing with a smile.
"Then do you want to continue staying here? There's nothing going on here next. The Holy Grail War is over, and we're about to return."
This time, there's no little loli that Wang Xiaoming needs to stay and teach for a few days, so Wang Xiaoming doesn't need to waste any more time. He'll run away when it's over!
"I know, Brother Xiaoming, it's just that the last time you left, I was still young and didn't understand anything. Now that I've grown up, I have a gift to give you before you leave."
Sakura slowly walked up to Wang Xiaoming, then tiptoed and kissed Wang Xiaoming on the face.
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoming."
[Maiden's Affection] get!
765. Taking Wife Home
Wang Xiaoming left the Fate/stay night world, and along the way, took Medea and Sakura.
That's right, Sakura was also taken away.
Because of Wang Xiaoming's intervention, and because Wang Xiaoming didn't mind her title of traitor at all, and was even willing to help her participate in the Holy Grail War, Medea had a very high degree of goodwill towards Wang Xiaoming, and Wang Xiaoming also liked Medea very much, so Medea definitely had to be taken away, and was taken away very easily.
As for Sakura, Wang Xiaoming hadn't originally considered taking her away. After all, being able to get to the Fourth War, and having the ability and time, then Sakura could be saved if it was convenient, and the Old Bug could be cut down if it was convenient.
After saving Sakura, Wang Xiaoming didn't do any extra strategies, but Sakura was scared by the Old Bug, so she developed a dependence on Wang Xiaoming. Even though Wang Xiaoming and Sakura didn't spend a long time together, and even taught her, who was only a few years old at the time, to assassinate, Sakura's heart did regard Wang Xiaoming as the most dependent person.
This is also why Sakura very much wanted to summon Wang Xiaoming during the Fifth Holy Grail War, and even became autistic after summoning Rider.
Therefore, when she saw Wang Xiaoming again, Sakura's mood could be said to be very excited.
Although Kariya Matou raised her for ten years, in Sakura's heart, his status was not as high as Wang Xiaoming's, because Wang Xiaoming was the one who saved her from hell.
Therefore, when Wang Xiaoming said he was leaving, Sakura kissed him without hesitation.
Wang Xiaoming was also quite surprised. Seeing Sakura come up, he originally thought Sakura would just hug him to say goodbye, but he didn't expect her to kiss him directly.
At the moment he was kissed, a thought popped into Wang Xiaoming's mind, and that was whether to take Sakura away as well.
In this world, because of Wang Xiaoming's reasons, Byakuya didn't show anything, and the Ally of Justice directly withdrew from the Holy Grail War at the start. The Ally of Justice didn't have any influence on saving Sakura, and no one watched the high jump, so Sakura's life was actually just herself alone.
Especially when Sakura kissed him, her whole body was close to Wang Xiaoming's, allowing Wang Xiaoming to clearly perceive how much Sakura had grown.
So, Wang Xiaoming temporarily stopped and asked Sakura alone whether she was willing to follow him, and bluntly stated that if she followed him, she would be his wife.
Sakura was also stunned when Wang Xiaoming asked her. Her heart was very dependent on Wang Xiaoming, but she didn't expect Wang Xiaoming to be so direct!
So, in Sakura's surprised gaze, Wang Xiaoming introduced his identity in detail. This time it was his real identity, not the fake identity of King Arthur.
After telling Sakura about his identity, Sakura was shocked.
The one who saved her was not King Arthur, but a person from another world.
Although she was surprised, Sakura didn't have any opinion on whether Wang Xiaoming was King Arthur or a person from another world, because it was Wang Xiaoming who saved her. What she cared about was Wang Xiaoming as a person. After all, she didn't call Wang Xiaoming Caster, nor did she call him King Arthur, but Brother Xiaoming.
Although she was very surprised that Wang Xiaoming had several wives in another world, and even a goddess wife, Sakura thought for a while and smiled, saying that she was willing to go with Wang Xiaoming.
After Sakura agreed, Wang Xiaoming went to talk to Medea again, and Medea was even simpler than Sakura. She agreed even faster, but after hearing about the gods, she hesitated slightly. Medea herself was a character in Greek mythology, and her title of betraying witch made her unpopular with the gods in that era when the gods existed.
But after Wang Xiaoming said that there was no legend of Medea in that world, she didn't worry about anything and happily accepted Wang Xiaoming's invitation.
Just like that, Wang Xiaoming took the key he had newly obtained in this world, and then took two new wives with him, and left the Fate/stay night world together, and returned to Orario.
This medieval-style city made the two newcomers who had just arrived in this city very curious.
As for Orario, Medea could seamlessly integrate into it, because she herself was a person from ancient times. She didn't have any estrangement from this kind of medieval place, especially one with mythological colors.
Sakura, on the other hand, would probably need some time to fully integrate into this city. Back then, Saeko also spent some time integrating into this city, but it wasn't long, because Saeko herself was a fighting genius with the talent of a killer, and this city, which was mainly composed of adventurers, could be said to have very high compatibility with Saeko. After all, she didn't dislike the slaughter between monsters and the slaughter between adventurers at all.
Sakura didn't have the talent of a killer, but integrating into Orario shouldn't be difficult for her.
