Chapter 265

【Lord El-Melloi II: "Is the matter related to Heartless?"】

【"Oh my, Dr. Heartless?"】

【Zepia laughed: "I did indeed make a deal with him."】

【Lord El-Melloi II: "Where is he now? No, what was Heartless's motive for contacting you?"】

【Zepia: "Oh my, your questions have become quite direct. I see, although the scope is different from the parts I carefully checked, he seems to have left a deep impression on you when he contacted you."】

【Lord El-Melloi II: "Can you please answer?"】

【Just then, a crystal at Zepia's Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side made a sound.】

【"Ah, it's activated. There is an Atlas weapon in this village."】

【Lord El-Melloi II and Gray's breathing hitched.】

【Zepia: "The seven great weapons of Atlas, their nature is reenactment, and they are also very familiar to me. Although they have no official names, we call them 'Logos React' and so on."】

【Lord El-Melloi II: "What did you say!"】

【Zepia: "I'm explaining the situation, Lord El-Melloi II, these are all things you wanted to ask."】

Kayneth: "Are you kidding me! To think he would dare to bring out such sealed things!"】

Lord El-Melloi II: "Sealed things?"】

【Although he knew the great name of the Atlas Institute, he didn't know about the seven weapons; after all, the Jewel Jewel Mage's Association wouldn't spread such dangerous news around.】

Shishigou Kairi: "I have heard some rumors, could it be those weapons!"】

Shishigou Kairi: "But even the Director of the Atlas Institute shouldn't be able to use those things at will, right!"】

Kayneth: "Who knows, the Director always has some special privileges."】

【Lord El-Melloi II: "That is..."】

【Facing the stammering Master, Zepia took a deep breath and opened his mouth to emit a continuous stream of 'sounds' like an avalanche.】

【"Rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate, rotate..."】

【"Turn the past into the present, the present into the past, reverse, rotate, rotate, rotate..."】

【At this point, Zepia raised the corners of his mouth and bowed exaggeratedly.】

【"In short, this is purely the residue of possibility. Similar to the phenomenon that should have fallen into Wallachia depending on the world's choice, but with decisive differences. Oh, by the way, can it also be called the Night of Calamity, imitating the mystery of the Far East?"】

【The light of the whole world caused a halo, and at the same time, it was confused with darkness; everything gradually distorted into black and white like an ink painting.】

【"Zepia!!!"】

【Lord El-Melloi II and Gray knelt on the ground, powerless to resist.】

【Vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch could no longer capture any normal information.】

【Not only the nerves, but even the magic circuits were distorted and absorbed, unable to function normally.】

【"... rown in the night."】

【"You had better explore the fiction that does not belong to reality. Pursue the fictional mystery you should solve, that is the only way for you to reach the exit, Lord El-Melloi II."】

【Accompanied by Zepia's voice, the screen disappeared completely.】

Waver: "Is it an illusion? Or space magecraft? Or a bounded field?"】

Shishigou Kairi: "What on earth is this? Do you know, Lord El-Melloi?"】

Kayneth: "How could I possibly know? The seven great weapons are the highest secret of the Atlas Institute; even if I am a Lord, I have no right to know."】

【"Code: Logos React, re-input."】

【"Distortion fixed value: B."】

【"Removal period: ■■■■■■■■■■■"】

【"■■■■■ program start. Start transforming the object."】

【"Full process, complete Clear. Atlas's—"】

【A mechanical voice sounded in Gray's mind; it was a 'Code' of information that was more direct than sound, which she couldn't understand.】

【When she came to her senses, she was already lying on a soft bed.】

【"Where is this..."】

【Holding her aching head, Gray subconsciously walked downstairs.】

【Something is wrong, what's with this warm temperature? Wasn't it snowing before? Why is she sweating now just by doing a little exercise?】

【This weather, does it feel like early summer? How is this possible!】

【"Good morning, Gray. Didn't you sleep well?"】

【A familiar yet somewhat strange voice suddenly came from the kitchen.】

【Gray: "Why... where is this?"】

【"Gray, what's wrong with you?"】

【A woman walked out of the kitchen with bread and looked at Gray, asking.】

【"Mo, Mother..."】

【Looking at that figure, Gray stood frozen in place.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Hey, hey? What's going on? Are the people in the village all back?"】

Lord El-Melloi II: "It's not that simple, didn't you notice the weather has changed?"】

Shishigou Kairi: "And how did this girl suddenly return home, and her mother acts as if nothing happened. Logically, shouldn't Gray be a dead person in the village?"】

Waver: "What we shouldn't be concerned about is what that mechanical voice is?"】

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Fiction that doesn't belong to reality... in other words, is this an illusion?"】

【"How was yesterday?"】

【Gray's mother put the bread on the table and continued: "You guided the new guest, right? He seems to be called Lord El-Melloi II."】

【"Ah... yes."】

【Gray answered subconsciously, and memories of the past flooded her mind.】

【What on earth happened? What's with this conversation that feels like returning to the past?】

【She remembered that this should have been the morning after she first met Lord El-Melloi II.】

【Thinking of the season at that time, the current high temperature could also be understood.】

【Gray suddenly looked at the mirror on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side; the illusion on her face had been lifted.】

【What on earth is going on? Could it be that she returned to the past!】

Shishigou Kairi: "Returning to the past, that would explain the weather and the problem with the girl's mother."】

Kayneth: "Impossible! Time ability is already at the level of magic, it's not that easy to reach!"】

Feng Xi: "..."】

Too small, Director Kayneth's vision is still too small.】

In less than twenty years, Chaldea's Rayshift technology that can travel through time and space will be invented.】

Not to mention anything else, even Heartless came from traveling through time and space.】

【Her mind was a mess, and Gray sat down somewhat mechanically, having breakfast with her mother.】

【"Last night, I had a strange dream."】

【Mother suddenly said: "I dreamed that the guest took you away. It's strange, right, such a thing is clearly impossible."】

【Gray: "... es."】

【Was there this conversation at that time? The memory is a bit unclear.】

Lord El-Melloi II: "Look, sure enough, there's a problem."】

Shishigou Kairi: "Indeed, if it's time travel, how could such a deviation appear?"】

Emiya Kiritsugu: "It feels like it's deliberately reminding this girl."】

【Having finished breakfast with trepidation, her mother tidied up the tableware and prepared to go out.】

【"I'm going to pray to the Virgin and see Grandma. Say hello to Mr. Bersac for me."】

【Mother turned back before closing the door and said: "By the way, although being a gravekeeper is an important job, you can't be too invested in it. Because you are a very precious child of God."】

【It was the same familiar teaching, which immediately gave Gray a feeling of being strangled.】

【After her mother left, Gray fled back to her room, picked up the cage, and whispered: "Add?"】

【Unfortunately, that sharp-tongued box had no reaction.】

【Gray took it out and found its eyes were tightly closed; remembering the conversation on the road earlier, she seemed to understand something.】

【Why, why won't you wake up at a time like this?】

Rin Tohsaka: "Is this, powered off?"】

Irisviel: "Saber, can you see what's going on?"】

Artoria: "Sorry, Iris, I know very little about the Holy Spear."】

Waver: "But now we can be sure that the anomaly of the Holy Spear must have something to do with this village."】

【Having settled her mood, Gray decided to go out and see the situation.】

【The residents are all back. If this is the past before I left my hometown, that's a matter of course.】

【Is this a daydream, or is her experience after leaving her hometown the dream?】

【Gray wiped her sweat while her thoughts ran wild.】

【"... o, I have stayed there."】
