Chapter 1153

Heartless: "Just because you don't believe it doesn't mean such a situation won't happen. Besides, why can't you accept it? Isn't there already a precedent in the group?"

Ryougi Shiki: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Damn it! Everyone forgot, there is also someone in the group who has touched the Root!

Because Ryougi Shiki rarely speaks in the group, her presence has always been low.

With Ryougi Shiki as a precedent, the situation of Manaka Sajyou is not impossible to accept for the time being.

【"Assassin."】

【Manaka Sajyou reaches out her hand, gently touching the body of Hassan of Serenity.】

【"You were beautiful the day before yesterday. It doesn't matter if that boy is dead or alive. Since you would go to such lengths for him, you understand this feeling, don't you?"】

【"Falling in love with someone, starting a romance, being intoxicated by it—this is the best thing among all the things in the world."】

【"Both of you have worked hard. Don't collect any more living sacrifices; I can go pick them up myself."】

【Yes, the young girl no longer needs company.】

【Except for watching the young girl's back gradually disappear into the darkness, they can do nothing.】

Hassan of the Hundred Faces: "... Hassan of Serenity, is it worth it?"

For a Master who didn't love you, you hunted young girls everywhere as sacrifices, and now, the other party doesn't need you anymore—

Is it worth it?

Hassan of Serenity: "Perhaps, it is worth it..."

To her at that time, just being touched like that, even if she were abandoned afterward, was satisfying enough.

【The young girl dances in the night sky. Like a fairy running across a lake in a picture book.】

【Smiling, and at the same time, sadly moistening her eyes—】

【She returned to the home she hadn't visited for several days.】

【The entrance, hallway, stairs, and bedroom door were all reinforced with magical barriers.】

【Is this the fatherly love for a fragile daughter?】

【The Holy Grail War has already ended, yet he is still so vigilant.】

【The father's actions are moving. However, the results are far too insignificant and meaningless in front of the young girl.】

【As she walks, the barriers disappear.】

【As she whispers, the magic fails.】

【What kind of expression will that child show?】

【Although they already said goodbye on the morning of the day before yesterday.】

【"I'm happy that you like me so much."】

【"Will you understand one day, too?"】

【"Hmm—I think it's better for you if we don't meet again."】

【No lies, all words from the heart. If the young girl has the heart.】

【--My thoughts have changed. But, it was you who changed them, right?】

【Once predicted that she would never return home.】

【Once predicted that they would never meet again.】

【It is precisely because she decided not to look at the future related to herself that there are times when predictions are wrong like this.】

【The young girl is also somewhat surprised.】

【A pitiful, illusory, overly fragile mortal, actually causing her to take action.】

【In the bedroom, the young girl looks down at her sister's sleeping face.】

【"So this is what a sleeping face looks like. It's my first time seeing it."】

【"Sister?"】

【Sensing the other's presence, Ayaka Sajyou groggily climbed up.】

【"I'm sorry for coming so late."】

【"Hey, Ayaka, who did you meet in the evening?"】

Rin Tohsaka: "Unexpected. I thought this woman had long been blinded by love, but I didn't expect her to still have some family affection left."

Fiore: "She has it, but clearly not much."

It is very clear that Manaka Sajyou's determination to destroy human history remains unchanged; her return this time is merely to bid a final farewell.

A farewell for her sister.

【Tokyo underground space.】

【There is only one path down from the surface, and someone is waiting on the road leading here.】

【To reach the Greater Grail sleeping at the bottom of Tokyo, one must pass through here.】

【Even though she is not needed, Hassan of Serenity still made her choice.】

【He will come.】

【Such a premonition. Such certainty.】

【Overcoming all difficulties and dangers, he will definitely find the location of the Beast that eyes the world.】

【As an Assassin, she does not have skills like predicting the future. However, she is not so oblivious that she cannot perceive how she will perish.】

【After all, this is the second time.】

【"Is it Assassin?"】

【As expected. He has come.】

Hassan of the Hundred Faces: "..."

She no longer knows what to say about this colleague.

Zabiko: "Finally arrived. I was really worried about not making it in time."

Blonde Rin: "It doesn't count as making it in time yet; only stopping Manaka Sajyou counts."

【Hassan of Serenity: "Saber. The optimal Servant... Honestly, I didn't think you would be good at conducting investigations and exploration in the city."】

【Old Saber: "Relying only on myself, I indeed couldn't find it."】

【I see. Did you get the assistance of the head of the Sajyou family?】

Caules: "It seems that person also made a choice."
