There was nothing particularly worth narrating afterward. The only thing worth mentioning was that Astolfo chose to take Siegfried and leave his former master, Selenike, behind. Jiang You hadn't intended to help her either. Of course, even if her reputation wasn't very good, as long as she hadn't done anything out of line during this time (just being covetous of Astolfo's body), Jiang You wouldn't let her fall to her death just like that. After throwing her a chance to duel with the earth, he let her fall with the Hanging Gardens.
Afterward, Jiang You brought this group of people to the Fuyuki of the Fifth Holy Grail War. The Duel Tournament was set to officially begin in a few days and was bound to be incredibly lively.
The Lord accepted Jiang You's invitation and remained in the form of Jiang You's Summon.
All the Magi seemed quite happy. Because the matter of parallel world travel involved the Kaleidoscope's Second Magic, even if the Kaleidoscope hadn't explicitly stated its stance, other Magi had carefully and cautiously set the relevant research topic as forbidden. Furthermore, things related to the Second Magic were not something Magi of their level could even get close to. Being able to experience it personally naturally made them feel quite excited.
"Because of the Duel Tournament, all the guest rooms here are fully booked. However, Ryūdō Temple is also considered my territory. I had Gil prepare a guest room for you, so for now, you can set up your base of operations there. The younger group, Caules and Fiore, are over there." Jiang You glanced at the sky; it was already time to sleep, and he still had to go to work tomorrow. "I won't see you out. If you want to go back, just place your hand on any Gate and silently recite 'Bubble' to open the portal to the Library. The librarian will send you back from there."
By now, the Library World used as a transit point was no longer a secret. Jiang You had also granted the corresponding access permissions, and with Bubble managing it, he wasn't worried about any problems arising.
"What a convenient ability... If only the Throne of Heroes were as relaxed as this." Astolfo was not modest at all, pulling his "male concubine" as he curiously raised his hand to ask, "But why 'Bubble'? Is there any special meaning to it?"
"It's just a codename for a certain special entity. You've already met her; it's the blue-and-white-haired librarian." Jiang You thought for a moment. Since Bubble existed as a real entity in this world, calling her by her real name might cause some problems. "If you don't mind bearing the consequences of calling her by her true name, using it wouldn't be impossible."
The knowledgeable Ginnungagap quickly stopped this curious baby Astolfo. True names carried magical power. If Astolfo actually shouted it out, everyone might suffer.
"That's all for now." Jiang You picked up Atalante, who was hissing like a wild cat. "I'll send her to Medea to have her head treated, then I'll go rest. You guys can make your own arrangements later. There's no need to be so restrained here. Magic is no longer a secret in this city, so if you're interested, you can wander around. You might even run into other servants."
"I'll go with you." Achilles couldn't really bring himself to be at ease seeing Atalante acting like a cat.
"Alright." Jiang You didn't really intend to do anything else, as this game didn't have that feature. "Jason is also over there; it would be good for you to catch up with him. Chiron, you should come along too."
Chiron looked at his Master. Fiore, in her wheelchair, couldn't move very easily. After all, as a teacher, he was still quite responsible. "I won't go for now. I still need to help out with the Master's affairs. Since so many servants have gathered on Lord Jiang You's territory and rules have been established, I don't need to rush. Achilles, please send my regards to Jason for me. And then, tell him to come over for extra lessons."
"Hahaha, I will." The moment Achilles thought about Jason being punished by the Teacher, he gloated just like a classmate enjoying someone else's misfortune.
After saying goodbye to the main group, Jiang You arrived at Medea's model shop. Right now, this shop was less of a model shop and more of the largest card shop in all of Fuyuki. Jiang You checked the shop's management panel and found that the shop level had already reached its cap, and its reputation had also peaked. All the missions had been completed entirely through the characters' automatic management.
Jiang You felt no sense of achievement at all, as if he had a game on his phone that automatically played through the main story. By the way, Jiang You also discovered that Canvas had added quite a few employees here. After the shop expanded, relying on Jason alone was clearly not enough. Jiang You even saw Rin Tohsaka and Eresh in the employee list.
Jiang You quickly spotted Rin Tohsaka hiding.
"Are you really this free?" Jiang You stared at the twin-tailed girl with the darting eyes. All the factions in Fuyuki had gathered here, so as the true host, she should be extremely busy.
"You've got the wrong person, I'm Eresh..." Rin Tohsaka tried to bluff her way through. Wearing a blonde wig and taking turns with Eresh, it was almost impossible for anyone else to tell them apart.
"Do you think I'm blind...?" Jiang You rolled his eyes. Why did she have to show up here?
"I only came because the pay here is high..." Rin Tohsaka slumped down in resignation. In the past, she had even worked as a maid to support her household, so she was quite used to this kind of thing.
"With Fuyuki in its current state, how could you still be poor?" Jiang You mused that Fuyuki was now brimming with opportunities. Any other magus family coming here would definitely seek out Rin Tohsaka first. Even a pig could fly if it sat on a wind vent.
Then Jiang You learned the reason behind the whole incident.
Rin Tohsaka had initially made a lot of money, but after renovating her family's mansion, she was still not satisfied. Seeing everyone collecting powerful Cards, she bought a large number of Jewels to create a Jewel Magic Deck and prepared to sell it. After all, her Deck had even made it to the finals in the first competition. She felt she could definitely make a huge profit by reinvesting the money, and that Golden Drill would eventually grovel at her feet.
Then she sold less than ten percent of it, not even breaking even.
"I think I know why." Jiang You looked at the Cards displayed in the shop. Complete Decks were indeed rare, and Rin Tohsaka's Deck with a proven track record was placed in the most prominent position. "Your Deck is at a level where ordinary people can't afford it, and Magi look down on it."
Magi all had their own Decks, and most of them were extremely protective of their family's heritage, making it impossible for them to take an interest in someone else's inherited Spells. The price for a complete set of Jewel Magic was almost astronomical for ordinary people. Of course, there was also another point: without the Character Card from Rin Tohsaka's family, the Deck couldn't be used to its full potential.
"Stop talking..." Rin Tohsaka covered her face. "I also borrowed a lot of money and am still in debt."
"It seems this is just your fate." Jiang You remarked that she was beyond help.
