Chapter 146
At the end of December 2016, Yega Masamichi, who had already been promoted to the principal, once again stepped into the teaching building belonging to Chaldea. Yega Masamichi, who inherited the constraints of a tripartite contract from the previous principal, brought the information of the next batch of freshmen who would be contacted during this holiday, and found the members of Chaldea.
At the same time, Yega Masamichi, who was passing by the infirmary, saw Gojo Satoru and Kagome Ken who were being scolded by Ieiri Naoko as expected.
Although Geto eventually chose to stay with his two classmates, his mental state had actually always been precarious - so much so that Chaldea had been monitoring him all the time in the first few years. It was only after Ieiri Shoko showed that she could single-handedly suppress two classmates that Chaldea slowly ended its monitoring of Geto and completely transferred the supervisory power to the High School.
Thinking of the time when Chaldea stopped him from signing a supplementary contract that year, Yega Masamichi sighed helplessly.
"…This year—"
When Yega Masamichi pushed open the door of El-Melloi's classroom, he saw the Chaldean members gathered together, forming a circle around the podium, waiting for Lancermello standing on the podium to write on the blackboard - but now, everyone's eyes were focused on Yega Masamichi who had just pushed open the door.
"I have something to tell you guys." Yega Masamichi waved the information in his hand to the people at the podium, "Who wants to work with me - no, or with Wu and the others to contact the new students? By the way, don't rely on the fact that you don't show up often and there hasn't been a single graduate in the past ten years - and pretend that you are classmates of every class of students."
"Who are the new students this year?" Lansemello casually put the chalk in the chalk slot under the blackboard and turned to look at Yemo Zhengdao. "If we are talking about next year, Fushiguro Megumi is one of them first - which ones did you take a fancy to? No, it should be said... which ones are left for Tokyo from Kyoto school?"
"Well, although you are not under the supervision of the director, don't be so outspoken." Yega Zhengdao cleared his throat helplessly and handed the information to El-Melloi II standing beside the podium. "A well-established sorcerer family will hardly send their members to a technical college. It's not like they have left over in Kyoto before it's our turn."
"I want to ask - will this year's students come to the Clock Tower?"
On New Year's Eve, the faculty and staff of the technical college and the Chaldeans who were watching the Red and White Song Festival together in the dormitory of the technical college waited for the arrival of Ye Mo Zheng Dao who went to Kyoto in the snow and picked up a girl with dark green hair from the Zenin family. Fushiguro Jiner, who had already accepted that his future was to work in the technical college for the rest of his life, almost crushed the beer can in his hand and cursed loudly when he saw the girl.
"Isn't the probability of your Zenin family defying the Heaven and Curse a little too high?" After noticing that Fushiguro Shiro's reaction was abnormal, Tosaka Rin, who was sitting with Emiya Shirou, dropped the fried chicken she was holding with chopsticks directly on the small table in front of her, and muttered in a trance, "Is it true that no matter which world it is, as long as there are the three families of Yu, everyone's fate is the same?"
"Senior Tosaka, Matou 'Zolgen' and Einzbern are both gone." Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was sitting in the back eating Emiya's special tempura shrimp, tilted his head and reminded Tosaka Rin who was greatly shocked by the situation of the Zenin family. "If you say so, I bet that the Kamo family will be the only one who can survive in this world in the future."
"ha?"
"Because Aiinzbern and Matou were the first two families, Tosaka was included in the plan because it provided the land spiritual veins." Lansemello leaned against the wall and reviewed the history of the magic world and the Holy Grail War for the people of Chaldea. "And here, the former heads of the Gojo family and the Zenin family fought and died together."
"To put it simply, those two were the strongest at the time - although I don't know how their combat power compares to now."
"So Tosaka and Kamo are both the neglected families - I totally get it!!!"
"Flat!!!"
"Ahem, what I meant is that the Zenin family and the Matou family are very similar." Tosaka Rin pointed at the girl who was just brought here by Yaga Masamichi and Fushiguro Shiori who was under the control of Fushiguro Megumi. "After all, the reverse sky and curse can be said to have lost the magic circuit here - doesn't it sound very similar to the decline of the Matou family?"
"But losing their magic circuits only makes them ordinary people. Their bodies are not strengthened."
"This is the difference between the worlds." El-Melloi II, who was sitting in the center of the El-Melloi classroom, put down his cutlery, tapped the table briefly, and turned to look at Yemo Zhengdao who was standing at the door. "How about transferring her to the class? Or should we just hand her over to Mr. Fushiguro to teach her?"
"She's just the right age to be a freshman next year." Yega Masamichi thought for a moment and pushed the girl next to Ieori Naoko. "Let Naoko take care of her for now. The head of the Zenin family suddenly called me and asked me to pick up Maki. This girl is not only a reverse sky and curse... she also has a sister."
"So neither side has reached the ultimate, right?" Lanser-Melloi looked at Marisbury, then at El-Melloi II, and finally moved his gaze to Yemo Masamichi. "Let her come to us - directly to the Astronomy Department 'Animusphia', but we need you to negotiate with the Zenin family again."
"Negotiate again?" Yega Masamichi frowned subconsciously, but soon realized that Chaldea would not do something cruel and excessive under the restraints. "What do you want me to negotiate? Moreover, in the world of magic, twins are considered to be the same existence - that's why they are regarded as 'unclear' by the Zenin family..."
"Ahem, I seem to have forgotten something." Noticing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Luvia stood up gracefully and bowed to everyone. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Luvia Serenta Edelfelt. The world of magicians also taboos the emergence of multiple heirs, but the Edelfelt family is different."
"Our family is different from other magician families. Every generation has two heirs - that's why we are called 'Libra'." Luvia smiled and looked down at Zenin Maki who was sitting next to Jiaru Nozomi. "By the way, my magic characteristic is - 'Sisters'."
"We need you to bring her sister as well."
The next day, Yaga Masamichi brought Zenin Maki's sister from Zenin's house - when the twins stood together, it was like they were looking at a mirror.
"What are you thinking about?" Luvia was rarely willing to talk to Tosaka Rin in a friendly manner, but she found that her old enemy looked at the two girls in front of her with a sad mood as if he was lost in memory. "Speaking of the topic of 'twins', it is impossible to escape the Heroic Spirit who 'only counts as one when two people are together'."
"...It's just that I remembered some of the past." Tosaka Rin rarely refrained from snorting at Luvia, and dismissed the image of the purple-haired girl with a red ribbon bow on the side of her hair in her mind, "Isn't your magic like that too? Together, the two of you can exert a powerful force as a perfect existence, but the price is that the sharp blade in your hand is always pointed at the other's throat..."
"Is that so?" Luvia sighed helplessly, reaching over Tosaka Rin and holding the two girls, "I suddenly feel that you are not so annoying after all - Miss Tosaka."
——Even if the regions are far apart, even if the blood that depends on each other has been diluted...Edelfelt's blood will still love his half, his brother, and his sister.
"Then forget it." Tosaka Rin laughed and walked in the opposite direction of Luvia who was leading the Zenin twins into the teaching building. "You are not suitable to say such things, and neither am I."
——Twin sisters who were once each other's halves were separated in the land of the Far East, and no one could reconcile on their behalf.
"Tosaka——"
Next to a black sedan, Shirou Emiya was calling out to Rin Tosaka who was a step too late.
"We're going to meet Otsutsuki Yuta." El-Melloi II opened the car door after all the students arrived and informed them of the content of their work this time. "Inugumaki Stake is Yemo Masamichi, who will take Dr. Roman, the Lord, and Mr. Haibara with him. The Lord asked us to bring Inorimoto Rika as well."
At the same time, in the classroom of Animusphia, Marisbilly, Kirshtalia and Olgamari were worrying about the tuning magic topic that Lancermello had casually thrown to them. The twins from the Zenin family would directly enroll in the astronomy department of Animusphia in the next semester. In order to improve their abilities, in addition to the magic of the Edelfelt family that might be useful, Lancermello, who often struggled with tuning magic, also gave a plan that might be able to help.
"What is the template for this tuning magic?" Olgamari stared at the black and white plan for a long time, then turned her head to look at the two people on her left. "I remember that the Lord should have mentioned this magic - no, this magic should have been dismantled by Lord El-Melloi II!!!"
"It's Izawa Ruma's magic - the tuning of the Golden Princess and the Silver Princess." Marisbilly picked up a pen and circled the only two celestial bodies mentioned in the plan. He glanced at his most proud disciple and only daughter, "And this magic is not used alone. I think, as magicians of Animusphia, you should all know that the moon reflects the light of the sun."
"This magic was prepared to match the magic of Edelfelt." Kirshtalia, the first tuning magic experiment subject of Lancermello, tapped the magic analysis report of Edelfelt family submitted by El-Melloi II. "The sun and the moon correspond to each other - just like the twins of Edelfelt family, they are also like mirror images."
“She always messes with this kind of rebellious celestial magic.” Marisbilly sighed helplessly and looked at Kirshtalia, who represented the ‘sky’ in Lansermello’s tuning magic. “But it always works - just like the triangle of ‘sky’, ‘earth’ and ‘man’, which has now become the cornerstone of our reconstruction of the world.”
