2004, Fuyuki City
A beautiful sunset doesn't guarantee you'll meet a gentle and considerate older sister and have an unforgettable encounter with her.
She might be a kind and sunny wrestling older sister who loves boxing but says she's not good at fighting.
"Hehe~ It seems you already knew who I was. Could you keep it a secret for me? I'll be very troubled if other people find out who I am."
The soft sunlight shone on the girl's delicate face, her long hair, as white as jade and crystal, radiated a gentle light, and she revealed a clear smile untouched by the world.
His words were almost pleading.
Felix, who went out to buy groceries, wondered if he was dreaming.
Kukulkan, the legendary king of the seventh Lostbelt, whose strength rivaled that of the Artorias at their peak and who could destroy the Earth with a single blow, has somehow appeared in Fuyuki City, a world that seems to be in a normal timeline!
The reason it's considered a normal timeline is that Felix, using his identity as a disciple of the Celestial Sovereign—Marisbury Animusphere—investigated information about Fuyuki City.
During the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern summoned an extremely weak Servant who withdrew very early on.
However, this does not necessarily mean that the one they summoned was the one who corrupted the Greater Grail.
Not long ago, Lev Lainur's investigation report on the Holy Grail confirmed that it had been contaminated and could no longer be used to make wishes, making the FGO worldline an impossible future.
but!
How do you explain such a large Kukulkan?
Why don't you punch me, Kuku, and see if I'm dreaming?
"Since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes."
With his eyes half-closed and in a cheerful mood, Kukulkan waved, turned around, and left behind a happy figure, skipping and hopping away into the deserted street.
A gentle breeze blew by, like a tender kiss, pulling the black-haired boy back to reality. He picked up the bag in his hand and looked up again, where he could still see her stunningly beautiful figure.
"I want to know, which timeline is this?!"
Felix looked up at the sky in despair, as if he saw Kukulkan's smiling face in the bright red sun. His lips stiffened, and he helplessly covered his face.
"The plan has changed. I must have Sakura summon Merlin!"
As for the question of why living people cannot be summoned if Merlin is not dead.
Heh.
Merlin, you wouldn't want Solomon to find out the truth about you pretending to be the magical girl Merlin, would you?
Regardless of whether this statement works or not, Felix has to give it a try, or perhaps use other, more unconventional methods to forcibly pull that scumbag Merlin out of Avalon!
To be even more ruthless, one could say to the summoning circle, "Merlin, you don't want Artoria to know that you weren't sealed by the Lady of the Lake, but actually entered on your own, do you?"
This is a nightmare devoid of emotion, the only place of guilt in my heart.
In order to find out how this chaotic world came about, Felix sped up, praying that Sakura hadn't summoned a Servant yet.
...
"Huh huh huh~"
A voluptuous, graceful girl with angelic features, black hair, and blue eyes sat on the sofa, humming a little tune as she estimated when Felix would return.
The moment the door opened, she knew it was Felix returning. She opened her arms and strode towards the entrance with her silky white stockings that subtly revealed her pink skin, her voice soft and gentle, easily evoking a protective instinct in people.
"Big Brother~ Welcome back."
Felix looked down at Sakura, who was hugging him tightly and burying her head in his chest. Her impressive bust pressed against him. The eagerness in his heart gradually disappeared in the girl's tenderness, replaced by a strong sense of security.
The beautiful world has become chaotic due to the appearance of Kukulkan, but there are also good things.
According to records, during the Third Holy Grail War, Darnic summoned Fionn mac Cumhaill, one of the three powerless gods of the Moon World, and annihilated the Matou family, one of the three founding families of Fuyuki.
Perhaps the Holy Grail was corrupted, because Darnic, as the victor, did not make a wish, nor did he transfer it to his hometown, and then it disappeared without a trace.
The destruction of the Matou family suddenly narrowed down Tokiomi Tohsaka's options.
In order to prevent Sakura's outstanding magical talent from being buried and becoming an unknown little magician, Tokiomi Tohsaka sent Sakura to his distant relatives in Europe, the famous magic family, the Edelfelt family, before the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Although the two families had a previous unpleasant experience that led to a complete breakdown in relations, the Edelfelt family was willing to reconcile with Sakura because of her outstanding magical talent, and designated her as one of the next heads of the family.
On this day, Sakura became a true noblewoman, her status far superior to that of the daughter of a small family in the Far East.
It's quite fortunate that Felix managed to win over the daughter of an old European nobleman as his fiancée!
Leveraging his status as a disciple of the Celestial Science Monarch, his good looks, exceptional magical talent, and Asian features, he quickly became friends with Sakura Tohsaka. He then used his abilities to heal Sakura's body free of charge, allowing the Edelfelt family's magical crest to fuse perfectly with her in a virtually painless manner.
From that moment on, the two became inseparable childhood sweethearts.
Every time he thinks back, Felix feels that he is just like the transmigrator senior named Huohuo.
Such a wonderful start can't be described as just a gift from God; it's practically like food being fed into Felix's mouth.
A score of 9.3, an unprecedented peak, take off!
The next second, Kukulkan, the king of the Lostbelts, attacked and crashed his plane on the spot!
Felix, who believed he could live a lifetime as long as he didn't do anything reckless, was already feeling depressed.
After lingering tenderly at the door for a long time, Sakura was a little puzzled. Her jade-like feet, treading on the smooth white silk, restlessly climbed up to her lover's instep, her delicate toes gently hooking and repeatedly hinting at him.
She's already wearing the speed-enhancing outfit, shouldn't he, as usual, grab this vixen around the waist and have a fierce three hundred rounds of battle in the entryway?
"Was it too intense yesterday? I'm sorry, Big Brother, I shouldn't have been greedy."
"Since last year, when have I ever been a coward?" Felix rolled his eyes at the smiling girl, then hugged her soft body as before and walked towards the sofa.
"You haven't summoned a Servant yet, have you?"
"I'm cleaning the room, how could I have time to do this?" Sakura replied meaningfully, then realized he was acting strangely and asked.
"Big Brother, why do you care about these things? Are you afraid I'll lose to Rin and my money will go down the drain?"
"It's okay, losing won't affect anything. Compared to Rin and money, I enjoy my vacation with you much more~"
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Felix would have already dragged Sakura into a duo match with her, given Sakura's overflowing affection and repeated hints of love.
"Something has changed in the Holy Grail War. We need to summon a Servant with Clairvoyance to understand the current situation!"
Chapter Two: We Are All Trying to Live
"The Clairvoyance? The one in legends that can know everything and is close to omnipotent and omniscient?"
"Yes."
Trusting Felix, Sakura agreed without hesitation.
She didn't even bother to ask how he summoned her; she just shuddered, her thin white shirt unable to conceal her impressive bust.
"Big Brother, wait a moment, I'm going to change my clothes."
"Ah."
After the girl got up, she turned back and kissed Felix's cheek before heading to the room. She changed into an elegant purple dress, instantly transforming from a mischievous enchantress into a stunningly beautiful lady.
I looked at myself in the mirror and only felt relieved after checking that there were no problems.
The best side should naturally be shown to Felix; the battle suit from earlier is not suitable for public display.
Hopefully Merlin's character isn't as bad as in history; otherwise, she wouldn't hesitate to use that power.
"It's ready, Big Brother."
Just as Felix finished writing down the lines to be used for the summoning, Sakura came out of the room, waved to him, and gestured for him to go to the basement.
"Coming."
To ensure that the summoned Servants wouldn't disturb others with too much noise, Sakura bought a remote villa before coming to Fuyuki, instead of choosing one of the two villas built there by the Edelfelt family.
The summoning process is very simple; it's just a matter of chanting a spell.
The planned relic—a Bodhi leaf stained with dragon's blood—was not used.
Instead...
"Merlin, you don't want King Solomon to find out the truth about you pretending to be the magical girl Meryl and scamming people online, do you?"
Sakura, standing to the side, covered her mouth in shock, but then seemed relieved.
According to historical records, it's not impossible that Merlin, this troublemaker, would cross-dress to deceive people.
He might do it often.
Seeing that the summoning had not yet been activated, Felix almost revealed the story of one of Elder Sai's legendary strategists.
[Solomon, in his pursuit of the magical girl Meryl, secretly plotted and went to great lengths to create the seventy-third Demon Pillar using numbers and words filled with love!]
"Damn it, is it useless?"
Perhaps this is a matter for the future; Merlin hasn't managed to deceive Solomon yet, which is why he feels indifferent.
"Fine, you forced me to do this!"
"Given your penchant for pretending to be Meryl and deceiving people, we can find out from the history of that time that the reason why poor Britain was able to launch an expedition against the Roman Empire must be because you secretly sold the hook behind the scenes!"
Not only did they help King Arthur gather enough funds, but they also achieved a resounding victory!
Looking at Felix's confident face, Sakura finally understood the source of her lover's confidence.
An unprecedented summoning method, both practical and fun!
"That's amazing, Big Brother! You've actually managed to unravel this legendary historical mystery! How about this: if Merlin refuses to come, then I'll use the influence of the Edelfelt family to make this statement public and reveal the truth of history!"
When Sakura said those words with righteous indignation, Felix couldn't hold back anymore, but he managed to maintain a forced smile.
With a loud boom, the summoning circle burst forth with dazzling multicolored light even before it was fully activated!
It is a light that can be loved by countless Masters!
"Oh dear, you guys are so mean! I didn't do any of those things. To be precise, it was Merlin who did it."
The moment the light faded, standing on the summoning circle was not the distressed Fou-chan, but Meryl-chan, dressed as a magical girl and holding a blue and white staff.
