Abnormal month

"Master Roy, can you start teaching?"

After Tohsaka Rin left alone, Hayasaka Ai sighed resignedly, patted her cheeks, expertly assumed the posture of a maid who would never give up, and came to the living room.

She wanted to quickly train Kasumigaoka Shiu and return to Tosaka Rin. When she returned to the living room, she saw Roy and Kasumigaoka Shiu getting ready to go out.

"Teaching is not in a hurry. Let's go to the commercial street first."

Roy changed out of his home clothes and put on his windbreaker.

"Shiyu just came to my house yesterday. I don't have many things I need for daily life at home, so I have to go shopping. The same goes for you Hayasaka. You have to live here for the next few days, and you have to buy some things."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu also changed into a new white-collar outfit.

She secretly cursed in her heart, how many sets of the same white-collar clothes did Aozaki's family have?

"...There's nothing we can do about it."

Hayasaka Ai nodded in agreement.

After a while, the three of them were ready, locked the courtyard door, and walked towards the commercial street.

Fuyuki City, or New Fuyuki City, is not big.

The old Fuyuki City was basically burned down on the day of the disaster ten years ago, and the current New Fuyuki City was rebuilt on the ruins of that year.

Today's New Fuyuki City is one of the only four remaining base cities for Neon, with a population of about 200,000. The number of high-rise buildings is far less than before. Even the most prosperous business district is the same as an 18th-tier small town. , fortunately the products are quite complete.

"Master Roy, can I ask some questions?"

Walking on the way to the commercial street, Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at Roy tentatively.

"Okay, I will answer anyone who can."

Roy walked at the front without looking back, speaking in an easy-going tone.

Hayasaka Ai looked at Roy from behind. He had glasses on his face, and he should be in a good state to talk.

She had just traveled through time a few days ago and knew very little about this world, so she couldn't help but prick up her ears.

"Is the Misaki City you mentioned to Mayor Tohsaka before also one of the four base cities now?"

"Well, Fuyuki City, Misaki City, Tokyo City, and Kanfuko City, these are Neon's four base cities."

The two girls fell into confusion and thought.

They are all familiar with the city of Tokyo. It should be the original Tokyo.

But the names of Fuyuki City, Misaki City, and Kanfuko City are very strange. They have never heard of them. In their world, there are probably no such place names. Is this the difference in the world?

They don’t know if anyone they know has also come to this world.

It's hard to say about other places, but there might be clues in Tokyo.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu secretly prayed in her heart that her home was in Tokyo, and it would be best if her family members did not travel to such an inexplicable world.

"I have a more presumptuous question... What is the Holy Grail War?"

Hayasaka Ai nodded secretly.

She also felt that Kasumigaoka Shiyu's question was indeed very presumptuous.

She stayed with Tohsaka Rin for more than ten days. She was cautious and never dared to ask too in-depth questions. She did not expect that Kasumigaoka Shiu, a person who had only been here for a day, would dare to bring up such a sensitive topic.

But I have to say that she is also very curious about the Holy Grail War, making wishes, etc., so she will take this opportunity to ride a donkey downhill to listen to it.

"The Holy Grail War is a magic ritual."

"You also know the Holy Grail in a broad sense, right? It is the cup that Christians say is the cup used by Jesus to hold wine. Believers believe that cup has incredible power, so many legends were born. However, in name, Jesus used There are more than two hundred chalices in Europe, and each church believes that its own Holy Grail is the real one. Even after Jesus’ reincarnation, he may not be able to tell which one is real.”

"The Holy Grail that appeared in the Holy Grail War truly has the power similar to that of the Holy Grail of Jesus. As long as you get the Holy Grail, you can even realize any wish, even immortality."

"In order to obtain this opportunity to make a wish, the seven selected masters and the summoned heroic spirits fought for it. The battle until the last group of masters and slaves was left was called the Holy Grail War."

Kasumigaoka Shiu and Hayasaka Ai almost suffocated.

The Holy Grail can grant any wish, even immortality. The chosen Master summons heroic spirits to fight?

Because of the overly fantasy color, it is really difficult for them to accept this setting at once.

"Of course, this is a superficial statement. The Holy Grail does have powerful power. It can be said to be almost omnipotent, but it is not omnipotent. It is just the three royal families who created the ritual of the Holy Grail War - Einzbern, Yuan The deception spread by Ban and Matou.”

"Furthermore, the Holy Grail no longer functions as a wishing machine. As evidence, the Fourth Holy Grail War held in Fuyuki City ten years ago was the culprit of the catastrophe."

"The culprit?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu reacted quickly and her heart trembled.

"Lord Roy, you mean that the Holy Grail War caused the world to turn into such a catastrophe?"

Hayasaka Ai's temples jumped.

What's the meaning?

Did the Holy Grail War turn the world into this?

And the last Holy Grail War was held in Fuyuki City under their feet?

Wow, it feels so hot under my feet, like there is a fire burning on me, and I can’t sit still!

"Well, the Fourth Holy Grail War is the origin of the Cataclysm. This is the current consensus in the magic world."

Roy nodded and continued, "Because the Holy Grail was twisted into the Black Holy Grail, it changed from a wish-making machine to a destructive device, and then someone made a wish to the Holy Grail to 'destroy the world'. In short, the Holy Grail really destroyed the world once."

That was the source of the great disaster ten years ago, the fire that swept the world and burned for a whole year.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Hayasaka Ai were completely overturned.

It's okay to have such an unrealistic wish-making machine, but there are actually people who use such a wish-making machine to wish to destroy the world?

How much hatred does this person have against the world?

"After the Great Cataclysm, the three great families, as the founders of the Holy Grail War, were punished to varying degrees by the Magic Association. Tosaka and Matou each handed over all their magic patents, and Einzbern handed over the android technology..."

"Is that the only punishment?"

"As the culprit, this punishment is unimaginably easy."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's words carried a strong resentment towards the three great families. If it weren't for the three great families, she wouldn't have become a refugee even if she traveled through time.

Even Hayasaka Ai couldn't help but give a sharp comment.

After the sharp comment, she remembered that the Toosaka Rin she served was the descendant of the Toosaka family.

Well, I hope that Toosaka Rin won't hear this.

"Don't have any beautiful misunderstandings about the Magic Association. The Magic Association doesn't care about the survival of humans. They only care about the survival of magic. It's just that the inheritance of magic needs humans as a bridge to manage it."

"...My lower limit of cognition of the magic world has been refreshed."

"Me too."

The two nodded at the same time, with a painful look on their faces.
