Chapter 451 Epilogue
"Have you thought about it?" El-Melloi II asked his two students, twirling the cigar in his hand.
"Edelfelt is a Libra." Luvia replied to El-Melloi II, "For us, nothing is more important than our half body. Teacher El-Melloi II, you might as well ask the one from the Flvigi family. Even if he went back and spent his whole life studying magic, he might not be able to achieve as much as he has achieved during this journey."
"Just like Luvia couldn't give up her sister, I couldn't just sit there and watch my sister become a person - although it was because my sister gave up on becoming a magician, left everything behind and ran away from home that I got the qualification to study in the Clock Tower that was originally intended for my sister." Coles smiled sheepishly, "But if I didn't exist..."
"My sister, Fiore Fulvig, doesn't have the qualifications to abandon everything and run away from home."
"So, no matter what - I'm going back to her."
"Come to think of it, Tosaka has a sister, right?" A confused voice suddenly emerged from the crowd of students behind El-Melloi II, "Why didn't she choose to go back like Luvia and the others?"
"I won't go back." Tosaka Rin answered the questioner firmly and met Luvia's eyes again, "Because for her - if I don't exist in this world, she might be better off. After all, if she stayed in the Tosaka family, she couldn't live a worse life than she did in the Matou family."
"The most important point is that I will not give up my research in the way of magic for others - I will not give up the achievements I have made in this sea of stars."
Just like the sisters of the Edelfelt family who parted ways in Japan that year - the bloodline that returned to Finland would never let go of its half body, even if it had to give up its own achievements; and the bloodline that stayed in Japan would prioritize the path of magic and no longer accompany its half body.
"Alright, alright." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and clapped his hands at the crowd at the main gate of Chaldea, then sighed helplessly, "It's come to this, it's better to say goodbye properly, right? This is the last time we'll see each other, so don't be so tense. Just like the deputy director said--"
"No matter what choice you make, we will wish you a happy tomorrow."
"May we have a happy ending."
"To be honest, although I'm ready to leave, I'm still a little worried about Chaldea." Colles looked at the golden door that was similar to the gate of Heroes and sighed softly, "After all, besides me, those two guys are the only ones in Chaldea who are good at using electrical magic."
"Although Ritsuka will definitely be fine, and those two are both famous Heroic Spirits - but will it really be okay to leave it to them? I am very worried about this."
"It's okay. After all, Da Vinci himself has already reactivated Leonardo Lily. He said that part of the work of the engineering department will be transferred to him in the future." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled shyly, "Senior Coles, don't worry too much about us. Besides, there are so many people left."
"If we all work together, we will find a solution."
"Goodbye, then."
After saying goodbye to the members who chose to leave Chaldea, Fujimaru Ritsuka returned to the control room.
"Welcome back." Lansemero smiled and waved to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Shall we start right here?"
Chaldeas gradually extinguished behind Lancel-Melo, but unlike the Chaldeas that turned into a sea of fire in 2016, it was extinguished this time in order to better welcome their future.
"Well, I think it's better to finish all the things that need to be done in one go before going to rest. Besides, this is the center of Chaldea, which is quite suitable from the perspective of ceremony." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded to Lancermello, looking at Chaldeas that had turned black, "Has the deputy director finished analyzing the internal data of Chaldeas?"
"Well, this will at least ensure that this world won't deviate too much before entering the era of human history." Lancer Mello, who had changed back into the Magic Association uniform that he used to wear when walking in Chaldea, answered Fujimaru Ritsuka and put on his gloves again. "Did you see Kirsch on the way here?"
"Senior Kirshtalia said he had other things to do..." Fujimaru Ritsuka stroked his chin and walked into the elevator with Lancermello. "I haven't seen him since I came back from sending someone off - should we go look for him?"
"Maybe he's in the infirmary." Lansermello thought for a moment and selected the button for the infirmary's floor. He turned around and gave Fujimaru Ritsuka a bright smile. "After all, at this time, Kirsh doesn't like to come into contact with other people... But if he's caught by others, that's another matter, right?"
As Lansemello expected, they found Kirshtalia in the infirmary, who was caught by Olgamari and Marisbili like a cat that didn't like going to the hospital and brought to Roman for examination.
"Have you finished the work at hand?" Roman asked the two people who had just come in.
"There is only one left." Lansemello replied.
"...I see." Roman glanced at Kirshtalia's examination results and stuffed the report into the recycling bin in front of Marisbilli and Olgamari. "Then I wish you all the best."
"Stars."
The magic flowing with the color of the earth outlines a magic circle in the shape of a "planet" that nurtures the base, with the control room as the center.
"The form of the universe, "Cosmos."
Colors as vast as the sky gushed out from the fingertips of the blonde magician, enveloping the shape of the base "planet" under the starry sea "sky".
"The form of Gods."
The savior with golden eyes stretched out his hand and separated the heaven and the earth with warm magic.
And then——
"My form, the Animus."
The celestial body is the void "Antrum".
The void is the Unversed.
Three powers of distinct origins and three voices come together as one.
The planetary "world" that had not yet completely acquired a physical form was sent into the sea of stars and condensed into shape beneath Chaldea.
"The void is preserved by God, 'Anima, Animsphere'."
The huge amount of magic power stored in Chaldea was continuously injected into the planet's "world" - until Chaldea was completely plunged into darkness and the first life appeared in the world.
"...Are the doctors asleep?" In front of the huge glass window in the Chaldea corridor, Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at the slowly rotating blue planet not far away and asked the two people beside him.
"If anyone is still awake, I'll have those demons knock on their doors one by one and cast a hypnotic spell on them." Lansermero leaned against the door frame of the control room and spread his arms to the two students. "They are not us - there is no need for them to endure so many years in this environment. The world has already taken shape, and we should consider writing the history of this world next."
"First, let's start with the Age of Gods."
Kirshtalia looked at the nearly invisible transparent barrier he had created that separated this world from the rest of the universe.
Then, new buds sprouted on the branches of the World Tree.
New shoots sprout and grow gradually.
The three magicians eliminated the possibility of abnormalities that were not allowed to exist and the possibility of additional consumption of magic resources one by one.
Then, time continued to move forward, arriving at December 31, 2017, which had ended their story.
The lights of Chaldea were rekindled, new possibilities were allowed to sprout, and the new world merged into this universe with its own barriers.
"...Is it really okay to leave it to me?" In the control room that was once again filled with noise, Marisbili asked several other directors of Chaldea, "Wouldn't it be more appropriate to leave it to Mujik at this time?"
"Who told you to be the first director of Chaldea?" Lansemello returned to the other directors as if nothing had happened and raised his eyebrows at Marisbilli. "At this time, there is no one better than you to announce to Fujimaru that the mission is accomplished."
"You are obviously much more suitable than me..." Maris Billy shook his head helplessly, followed the gazes of the crowd and walked in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Well, since you have entrusted such a job to me, I can't let you down."
"The 48th Lord of Chaldea, Fujimaru Ritsuka." Marisbilly lowered his eyes and called out to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Although you haven't completely recovered from your mental fatigue, and you may still have many problems that we haven't discovered yet - but you have brought all of us, including yourself, to the end of this journey safely and smoothly."
"In that case, that's what we should tell you."
"Congratulations on completing your mission, Lord Fujimaru Ritsuka."
"With the awakening of all of Chaldea, our journey has finally come to an end."
Leonardo, who provided the director's speech, smiled triumphantly at the wall, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had completely become the "collective subconscious of mankind" of Alaya but still looked a little green.
"It's too cunning to leave me alone here to listen to Director Marisbury's speech!!!" Fujimaru Ritsuka accurately found Lancermello and Kirshtalia from the crowd and pulled them to his side with magic. "Besides, such a huge project as rebuilding the world cannot be accomplished by me alone."
"I am just a 'human'. Without the 'sky' and the 'earth', it would be impossible to create a world."
"Besides, I would not have been able to complete this long journey without everyone's company." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled at Marisbury and got permission from the original director. "Then, let me say the next sentence - okay, Director Marisbury?"
"Of course." Marinette smiled and stepped back a few steps to give Ritsuka Fujimaru enough space.
"Well then..." Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around and opened his arms to all the members of Chaldea, "Congratulations to our 'Humanity Continuation Guarantee Agency Phoenix Chaldea' for completing this mission and successfully rebuilding the world!"
In the air above the control room, on Chaldeas, which reflected the world rebuilt by Phoenix Chaldea like a mirror, there was a light shining, indicating that human civilization had not been extinguished a hundred years later - proving that all this was not an illusory dream.
