Chapter 046 [Inverted V] 46

"The Shibuya anomaly is a present anomaly that occurs in that world..." Fujimaru Ritsuka closed the book in his hand, looked out the window at the sea of ​​stars, and thought aimlessly, "So..."

——It will be the same as Traum, not a restoration of the foundation. And the difference from Traum is that because the uniqueness of Shibuya is the present, the memory of the last cycle will be engraved into reality and written into the history of that world as the real past. Only the explanation to the public will be the one that conforms to common sense.

——Because of the world of Shibuya Anomaly, there are still a lot of non-humans active in the surface world.

"Ritsuka?" It was Kirshtalia who had just knocked on the door and entered the observatory that interrupted Fujimaru Ritsuka's thoughts. "Are you free now? Something seems to have happened with the Heroic Spirits - there's quite a commotion. They want you to go to the gate to the Throne of Heroes and take a look."

"I'll be there right away."

Fujimaru Ritsuka casually put down the book in his hand and rushed into the downward elevator outside the observatory door.

"The sea of ​​stars..." Kirshtalia glanced at the book that Fujimaru Ritsuka had put down casually, and the person who had existed as a corner of the "sea of ​​stars" in the past in the tuning magic sighed softly, "Humans have always given enough romantic thoughts to the stars - the myths of constellations, the rumor that wishes can come true under meteor showers... and the legend that the dead will turn into stars to watch over the living."

"But the sea of ​​stars itself is always so quiet."

Ritsuka Fujimaru walked through the long corridor and saw the golden door surrounded by Heroic Spirits in the warehouse where the Torito was placed.

——In the past, it was the Triton, which was piloted by the sea nymphs and Noah and served as the ark of salvation, that led Chaldea to gallop across the ocean of the blank earth. But now, it was not the three-masted ship that served as the ark in the past that was drifting in the sea of ​​stars, but the observatory itself that had barely escaped the fate of being frozen by layers of ice.

When Chaldea first started drifting, Fujimaru Ritsuka once raised his doubts to the directors of Animusphia - everyone knew that the Triton was easy to move and had strong defense, so why did they agree to sever the synchronization between the Triton and Chaldea, put away the three-masted ship, and let the observatory begin to wander in the starry sea?

On this point, the directors of Chaldea agreed - because Chaldea is not an observatory for looking up at the stars from the earth, but an observatory built to overlook everything on the earth from the void; and rebuilding the world requires observing the earth of many different worlds... No matter how you look at it, an observatory that overlooks the universe is more suitable than a three-masted ship that can be an ark.

So the captain of the Triton was repatriated at that time, and the data of Noah Amphitrite was backed up in the Chaldean Spirit Base Atlas - and then when the reconstruction of the Heroic Spirits was completed, Fujimaru Ritsuka saw the separated Noah and Amphitrite among the Heroic Spirits.

The black-haired, golden-eyed man stood in front of all the Heroic Spirits, and sternly stopped them from approaching the gate before Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived. "Listen, although we all know that a strong wish can knock on the gate of the Throne of Heroes, it does not mean that we can go to other worlds at will through the ritual of summoning servants! Because now no one is sure whether the projection can be retrieved after it is released!!!"

"Noah, calm down." The ball of light floating beside Noah reminded his followers in a tone that seemed to be interested in making trouble. "I remember someone went to call Fujimaru Ritsuka over."

"Is this a problem that Ritsuka can't get through!?" When Noah saw Fujimaru Ritsuka's orange hair appear at the door, he covered his head and screamed in pain, "It's a problem that we can't let people throw projections out casually anymore!!! Someone has already! Passed through this door and manifested!!!"

——Although the sea of ​​stars remains the same, a strong wish can cross the sea of ​​stars and bring about miracles.

——Just like the meteor shower that occurred in the Grand Time Temple that day.

The gate of the Throne of Heroes in Phoenix Chaldea had undoubtedly been knocked by a strong wish, and it was answered before anyone had time to react - time went back to before the gate of the Throne of Heroes was knocked by the wish, before the world that gave birth to the strong wish began to pray.

"...I'll say it again, our judge is just sick." The black-haired boy put his hand on the short sword at his side and rejected the proposal of the group of people in front of him expressionlessly, "Or do you want me to remind you - there is no such thing as the original body or the real thing in our world -"

"That's enough!!! Yakugen Toushirou——"

"Well, if you don't care about all the Honmaru being unable to function again, then we don't mind you resorting to such means." Yagen Toushirou turned around and walked out of the conference room, ignoring the angry crowd behind him. "Anyway, if the Time Government is unable to function, you will still be the ones to worry about it."

"Goodbye."

After Yagen Toushirou left the building of the Time Government, the Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi and others who had seemed to be working diligently and had not yet been taken away by the different Honmaru's diviners as part of their exploration progress, gathered together and started gossiping.

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi A: "That's Yagen Toshiro from Zero Honmaru, right? Their Shinsengumi seem to communicate with the government frequently... Recently, not only has the communication been cut off, but it seems that their swordsmen have been coming to the government more often, right?"

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi B: "Could it be that he disappeared?"

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, who has worked in politics the longest among the same swordsmen, C: "Uh... the judge of the Zero Honmaru... well, I can only say that if you believe that she was hidden... you might as well believe that one day the entire government and the other Honmaru will be hidden by her."

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi D: "So you are really sick?"

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi A: "But if they weren't in hiding... they wouldn't have to come to the government so often to argue, right?"

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi C: "You're right, but that censor doesn't seem to get sick - so it's strange that their Yakugen Toushirou always states that their censor only gets sick. I'd rather believe that she got sick with an unprecedented disease, so much so that she had to temporarily put aside her communications with the government."

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi B & Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi D: "Uh... So, here are the documents that need to be sent to Zero Main Maru...?"

Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi C: "As usual - even if the Shinto Judge really falls, the work of the Honmaru will not stop. I really want other Honmaru to learn their operating system..."

At the gate of the Zero Main Maru, the orange-haired Shinto priest was asking today's Honmaru attendant if he could visit the Shinto priest of the Zero Main Maru.

"The lord is in the castle tower." The silver-haired swordsman stood inside the gate and shook his head at the visiting psychic. "But, you cannot go to the castle tower to visit the lord. Sorry, Miss No. 48. The lord's condition has not improved yet, so he cannot see guests for the time being."

"Is that so? There's nothing we can do." No. 48 smiled helplessly and was about to go home when he saw the swordsman in front of him twist his body. "That... Mr. Kotobuki, your body——"

"Thank you for your concern - please don't come to our place again for now."

Kobebami Toushirou himself reacted faster than No. 48 - the door of No. 0 Main Maru slammed shut in front of No. 48, leaving only Kobebami Toushirou's words outside the door, advising her not to come again.

"Welcome back, senior." The pink-purple-haired girl sat in the corridor and greeted No. 48 who had just returned to the main camp. "Did something happen in No. 0 main camp?"

"Shielder," the former savior called out to her companion, "Go to the castle tower to get the spirit base atlas - I'm going to try the Heroic Spirit Summoning at Manyozakura. The situation at Zero Main Maru is very wrong, and I'm not sure if we, Zero Main Maru itself, or the Time Government can solve it - so I decided to ask them for help."

“Even though this is no longer our original world, I still want to try to ask them for help.”

"I understand." Shielder watched No. 48 running towards Manye Sakura's location, then closed his eyes and turned to walk towards the castle tower.

While No. 48 and Shielder were preparing their formation, the door of Camp Zero was knocked again.

"Ahem, it's me - Yagen Toushirou." Yagen Toushirou stood in front of the gate of his home, and notified his brother, Kotobuki Toushirou, who was serving as a close attendant, to come and open the door. "I'm back from the government - I'll tell you the details in the hallway."

"...In other words, the government has not agreed not to take extreme measures, right?" Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi, whose half of his body had become tangled bone spurs, extracted the current political attitude from the information brought back by Yagen Toushirou with an unpleasant expression, "The government is probably still very unhappy with your threat to them today."

The situation at Zero Honmaru has not been good as their Judge has been bedridden for a long time - Yagen Toushirou, who often goes out, has been able to maintain a normal figure, and the remaining swordsmen have more or less shown a tendency to develop into the Time Travel Army; even the few who pay attention to their appearance can only barely maintain a state of not growing huge bone spurs.

"Yakuen didn't lie." Kotobuki Toushirou looked at the teacup in his hand, and sharp bone spurs began to appear on his face. "But the lord's condition has only not deteriorated. If we can't cure the lord, even if the government doesn't take extreme measures, our mutation will drag the whole world down with it."

"So we must cure the lord." Yagen Toushirou gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "I'll go to the castle tower to take a look - even if I haven't seen it, there's no way... we absolutely can't give up on the lord. Even if we don't consider the future of this world... I don't want to watch my owner die in front of me anymore."

At the same time that Yagen Toushirou stood in front of the castle tower, No. 48 had prepared everything needed for the summoning ceremony - Yagen Toushirou pushed open the door, and what he saw was a judge whose entire body was covered in a strange black color; under the Manyoak cherry blossoms, as No. 48 recited the summoning spell, strong prayers gathered together and knocked on the door of the Throne of Heroes.

Before anyone in Phoenix Chaldea could react, someone had already passed through the gate of the Throne of Heroes and responded to that wish.

"Servant Caster Lansemello - may I ask, what do you wish to tell me?"
