Chapter 493: ·Departure

【"Someone, died."】

【After a long while, Gray only managed to squeeze out such a sentence.】

【Reines frowned and asked: "Someone died? Who is it?"】

【Gray was silent for a long while, then said: "... It was me."】

【Hearing this, Reines's face suddenly stiffened.】

【Gray: "I... died in that case in my hometown."】

Rin Tohsaka: "What does this mean? Could it be that Gray is a ghost now?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "What are you thinking? I think she means she used a fake death to escape, so she could leave the village."

Waver: "That's right."

【Reines took a long time to sort out her thoughts and said helplessly: "I mean, you mean 'I felt like I died there' or something like that, right?"】

【Gray nodded.】

【Reines: "That's quite complicated. You came to me to ask about what happened at that time, which means you haven't sorted out your thoughts on that case yet, right? Even so, can I ask for more details?"】

【Gray: "Can this topic be discussed later?"】

【Reines: "Later?"】

【Gray: "Yes, discuss it after I return from that hometown."】

【"..."】

【Reines rubbed her temples and said: "Hmm, although I really want to go with you, if I leave the Clock Tower now, it might cause problems..."】

【Because the aftermath work of the Rail Zeppelin hasn't been completely finished yet.】

【"However, returning to the hometown where you died sounds like it won't be peaceful."】

【Gray: "Um, I will find a way to solve it."】

【Reines: "By yourself?"】

【Gray: "I plan to do so."】

【In the previous battle with Faker, she realized what she was missing.】

【If she wants to confront the other party again, she must first face her own past.】

【After the Rail Zeppelin incident, she made a decision, but because Waver's injuries hadn't healed, she was worried that Waver wouldn't be taken care of, so she dragged it until now.】

【Gray: "I plan to go back immediately, please tell the teacher."】

【"Yeah, yeah, as long as you plan to come back. If you say something heartless like our friendship ends here, I'll have to cry and eat the remaining desserts."】

【Reines smiled: "I personally really want to respect your will, but it probably won't work."】

【Gray: "Why?"】

【Reines: "No, that's just a simple numerical problem. One person can't do it, right?"】

【"One person?"】

【Gray seemed to understand something and subconsciously looked back, only to see Waver appearing at the door at some point.】

【She lowered her head, not knowing what to say for a moment.】

Illya: "It really is like filming a movie, an expected plot."

Kairi Shishigou: "It seems Gray's background will be truly revealed soon."

【"Excuse me."】

【Waver pretended he hadn't heard anything and walked in: "Reines, I hope you can agree to let me leave for a week."】

【Reines pretended to be difficult: "Oh my, you're leaving again? Do you lack the self-awareness of being a Lord? Sigh, it's really troublesome, the work is still piled up like a mountain."】

【Waver: "I will keep in touch with you as much as possible. In order to participate in the Holy Grail War, I have had my own arrangements since before. Although the Rail Zeppelin matter needing aftermath work was unexpected, your ability should be enough to handle it."】

【Reines: "Hmm, thank you for giving me a high evaluation, but can't you be a little more considerate of the overworked state of your cute younger sister? You wouldn't want to face your younger sister who fainted from exhaustion, crying and thinking 'if only I had said a few more gentle words to her at that time', right?"】

【Waver: "In that case, I also hope you can be considerate of me. The effect of the stomach medicine of the Botany Department also has its limits."】 ===== CHAPTER 495 =====
