In the Fuyuki City food street, Gudako was eating the fried noodles in front of her with a look of bliss.
"Uncle Shinji, it's been so long since I've eaten something this delicious!"
The adult version of Shinji looked at Gudako with a smile and casually pushed his untouched food toward her.
"Eat more if you like it. In Chaldea's environment these past few years, this kind of food is rare."
Gudako unceremoniously pulled adult Shinji's food toward herself and continued eating heartily.
After finishing the meal, while walking through the busy streets of Fuyuki City, Gudako turned to adult Shinji and asked.
"Uncle Shinji, are you really not going to eat anything? You didn't seem to eat a thing just now!"
Adult Shinji shook his head, then reached out with a cold hand to rub Gudako's head.
"No need. This body of mine hasn't needed food for a long time. I've gotten used to it over the years. Alright, Gudako, let's hurry to the final battlefield and get ready. We'll be busy for the next few days!"
Hearing adult Shinji's words, Gudako snapped her heels together, stood tall, and gave adult Shinji a standard military salute.
"Yes! Mission guaranteed to be completed! But Uncle Shinji, can I still eat some of the local delicacies here over the next few days?"
Adult Shinji smiled slightly.
"Of course you can!"
Hearing this, Gudako jumped up and down in excitement.
"Great! Uncle Shinji!"
'Shinji! You're spoiling Gudako too much! If Elder Sister finds out, she'll definitely be unhappy!'
'Olga Marie, it's fine. Rin won't say anything over such a small matter.'
'Fine, but remember to use an honorific with me! I am the vice director now. You and Gudako move quickly, understood?'
'Yes, yes, yes, Lady vice director.'
After adult Shinji spoke, he casually turned off the communicator by his ear and then, with a smile, headed toward the destination with Gudako.
Meanwhile, Shirou Kotomine and Caren arrived at the Fujimura Taiga old residence and opened the door with a key. However, upon entering the garden, both Shirou Kotomine and Caren were stunned.
"Sister Taiga, why are you here?" X2
Fujimura Taiga turned her head to look at Shirou Kotomine and Caren as they walked in. She raised her left arm high and gave them a calm greeting.
"Yo!"
Caren looked at Fujimura Taiga, walked over angrily, stood on her tiptoes, and pulled Fujimura Taiga's ear.
"Sister Taiga, didn't I tell you to take your family and leave Fuyuki City during these few days? Why haven't you left yet!"
"Ahhh, let go of me first, Caren, my ear is going to break~"
Caren then let go of Fujimura Taiga, who rubbed her ear while hissing in pain.
"Speak up, Sister Taiga!"
Fujimura Taiga looked sheepishly at Caren, the person she had been afraid of since they met.
"Didn't I just miss you guys? So I came back, hahahaha!"
Caren looked at the clowning Fujimura Taiga and reached out to pinch her ear again. Scared, Fujimura Taiga ran behind Shirou Kotomine, screaming to escape Caren's harassment.
"Shirou, save me! Caren is going to kill me!"
To Fujimura Taiga's surprise, Shirou Kotomine didn't help her this time. Instead, he said to her seriously.
"Sister Taiga, Fuyuki City really is dangerous right now. You shouldn't have come back. Caren and I will escort you out of the city in a moment!"
Suddenly, Martha manifested her form and looked up at the sky.
"Caren, Shirou, it seems it's too late!"
Caren and Shirou Kotomine also looked up. With the help of magical energy, they both sensed a massive boundary surrounding the entire Fuyuki City.
The Church team that had just entered the Fuyuki City area suddenly felt a surge of magical energy and immediately went on alert. Then, a massive boundary rose from behind the team, covering the entire Fuyuki City.
Meilian Solomon looked at the leader of the Burial Agency, Narbaleck, and said.
"What a grand welcoming ceremony!"
"Just small tricks from the heretics."
Suddenly, the boundary trembled, and a massive amount of magical energy emanated from it. A sense of dizziness rose in everyone's hearts. Then, those with magical energy sensed that the space seemed to have changed. Those who understood what this meant felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Narbaleck looked at the boundary behind them, which had changed again, with a grim expression.
"How is it possible? It seems the entire city, along with the underground leylines and the land, has been transferred to a different dimension. This—"
Just moments ago, Lorelei, having reached a cooperation with Rin, brought Rin to the Command Room.
After explaining her plan in detail to Rin, she ignored Rin's objections and forcibly ordered her subordinates to activate the boundary they had been setting up.
"Leyline link!"
"Nodes operating normally."
"Magical energy circulation good!"
Lorelei looked at the annoyed Rin beside her and nodded proudly.
"Look, Rin! Once the boundary is complete, I guarantee not even a fly will escape Fuyuki City!"
"Fine, do whatever you want. I can't be bothered with you. Just notify me when you're ready to act, hmph!"
Tohsaka Rin snorted coldly, turned, and walked out of the Command Room.
At this moment, the butler walked up to Lorelei and asked in a lowered voice.
"Little Miss, is it really okay to ignore Tohsaka Rin's objections like this?"
Lorelei, who had just suffered a setback at the hands of Tohsaka Rin and felt she had just scored one back against her, how could she possibly care about Tohsaka Rin's opinion? With pride carved into her very bones, Lorelei waved her hand dismissively at the butler.
"Don't worry about it. That girl Tohsaka Rin has lived with ordinary people for too long and cares too much about them!"
Suddenly, the alarm in the Command Room sounded, and on the magic-projected map of Fuyuki City in front of them, nodes were constantly turning red.
"Not good! Someone is seizing control of the barrier!"
Lorelei frowned, walked quickly to the map, watched the nodes turning red, turned, and shouted to the Magus beside her.
"Contact the scene immediately and ask what on earth is going on!"
The Magus beside her immediately put down the Mystic Code used to operate the barrier, chanted incessantly, and then the scene and sound from one of the nodes appeared out of thin air in the Command Room.
"Ah~"
As soon as the feed connected, they only heard a scream, and then everyone in the Command Room saw a Servant who looked somewhat similar to the Astronomy Branch Lord Marisbury casually unleashing one spell after another—spells that an ordinary Magus would struggle to reach in a lifetime—slaughtering the Magi present.
"A Servant!"
Lorelei shouted in a low voice, then stared at the screen with a frown, intending to figure out why this Servant was seizing the barrier.
At this moment, a figure that was unforgettable to Lorelei appeared on the screen.
Sajyou Manaka walked into the frame happily with Dr. Heartless. Lorelei looked at Sajyou Manaka on the screen, gritted her teeth, and clenched her fists until they creaked.
"Lady Manaka, the nodes previously arranged on the ley lines have all been activated, and these key nodes have also been cleared."
Sajyou Manaka ignored Dr. Heartless and, as if she had known beforehand, turned her head to look at the screen.
"Oh my! It seems Rin-chan isn't here! But I still want to thank everyone for your help; you've saved me quite a bit of time!"
After saying this, a burst of light emitted from Sajyou Manaka's chest, and then the screen distorted and disappeared.
At the same time, the barrier transformed in that instant; space was severed, and the entire Fuyuki City was relocated by Manaka to some different space.
Lorelei slammed her fist onto the table, smashing it into a pile of splintered wood, and shouted through gritted teeth.
"Sajyou Manaka! Ahhhhhhh~"
