Everyone was stunned after hearing Jean's narration, especially Rin, who seemed to have her soul drift away.
The Root actually had a personality and had just met with Jean; then Jean became the owner of Fuyuki in a deep sense, while she was just a manager appointed by the Mages Association.
Added to that was the surprise that the world wouldn't be destroyed, and the shock that Fuyuki City was to become a connection point with the outside world.
In any case, Rin, who didn't have much depth of thought to begin with, now had her brain stalling a bit.
Meanwhile, Jean sat beside her, rubbing her head with an amused expression.
"So, what have you decided?"
Jean asked the others. Now that her mission had a result, she needed to report to her client as soon as possible, but she also planned to first research whether soul materialization outside the world could be achieved, so time was tight.
"Jean, I want to leave with you. I want to become stronger; if I continue like this, I'll become worthless."
Rin was the first to make a decision. Whether it was the gap between her and Sakura, or the city and world that would change drastically in the future, all of these gave her a sense of urgency.
Fortunately, Jean had introduced her to the Reincarnation World and her own affairs beforehand, which struck a chord with Rin, and being able to be with Jean was also what she hoped for.
"If we leave, how long will it take to return here?" Sakura asked the question she was concerned about.
"Traveling back and forth freely would take a few months at the fastest, a year at the slowest, but if you pay points as a cost, you can do it anytime."
Actually, waiting for the interface to open would be cheaper, but it still required points; however, as someone related to Jean, there would naturally be no fee.
"I understand, I'm going too. Since Teacher won't come looking for me, I'll use my own strength to find her in the Land of Shadows!"
Medea went without saying, she was already set. Surprisingly, Ai-chan didn't want to leave Fuyuki; she planned to stay indoors for a while first.
"Hey, hey, Ai-chan, how about coming with me to be a detective?" XX actually extended an invitation to her.
"Go away, no one can get me out of this kotatsu." She issued a declaration of being a shut-in quite openly.
Jean let Ai-chan and XX resolve their own matters, while she and the others returned directly to the Tohsaka Estate. In a while, a person in charge from the Comprehensive Underworld would be sent over, and the affairs of the Tohsaka Family would be handed over to him as well.
Sakura's side was fine; she didn't have to manage the city's business, and the properties were handled by agents whose loyalty was guaranteed by magecraft. She only needed to refine herself every day, so leaving for half a year or a year wouldn't be a problem.

As Jean and the others were returning to the Tohsaka Estate, the people across the city gradually woke up and resumed their daily lives as usual, as if they had forgotten what happened last night.
Meanwhile, various factions also focused their attention on Fuyuki City; the descent of an Evil God was no ordinary occurrence.
Even more unusual was that after the Evil God descended, it was actually repelled. Because of this, even behemoths as extremely powerful as the Mages Association and the Holy Church didn't dare to act rashly, only sending personnel related to Fuyuki to gather intelligence first.
——Holy Church——
"Kallen Hortensia, from now on, you are the person in charge of the Fuyuki Church."
Having received the appointment notice over the phone, Kallen looked at the ruins (the church) before her and sighed. She hadn't expected that her first day on the job would start with finding a place to live.
——Mages Association——
"Teacher, as a Lord, for you to be forcibly saddled with this task like this, it's just too much."
"Fuyuki City, huh? I didn't expect that after the Holy Grail War ended, I would actually need to go there..."
Taking a heavy drag of his cigarette and looking at the red mantle on the table that he had only recently reclaimed, Waver was filled with mixed emotions.
——Wandering Magician——
"Your name is Bazett, right? To be able to take one of that fellow's lives, you're already quite impressive. However, I'm taking this body of hers with me, is that okay?"
"Ah, yes, no problem, Miss Blue."
Facing Aozaki Aoko, Bazett ultimately chose to be prudent. Although there were orders from above to bring back Touko Aozaki's body, compared to the wrath of this Miss Blue, the superiors didn't mean a thing.
——Ordinary Yakuza Organization——
"Did you see that blade, Mana?"
"Mother, didn't you just take that blade? I saw it with my own eyes. Could it be that you've finally developed senile dementia!"
The black-haired girl, Mana Ryougi, wore a look of schadenfreude.
But she soon received a fist of love from her mother, Shiki Ryougi.
"Did 'I' take it? Whatever, it's something I don't need anymore anyway. By the way, Mana, get ready. Come with me to meet an old friend from the past. Remember to call her Grandma Touko when the time comes."
Anticipating the look on Touko's face, Shiki Ryougi showed a pleasant smile.

By noon that day, the person in charge of the handover teleported in. At first sight, Jean had no doubt about his abilities:
"Greetings, Lady Jean. I am Hozuki, the Chief Executive Officer of the Third Bureau under Lord Meido, responsible for the construction of the connection point this time. The relevant matters have been clarified; please leave them to me with confidence."
Hozuki's ability was naturally beyond doubt, and he also readily accepted the task of managing the Tohsaka Family's properties.
Then, after an afternoon of preparation and saying goodbye to Ai-chan, Jean officially ended this Holy Grail journey, returning home with Rin, Sakura, and Medea.

——Terra World Side Story——
(Terra World: several people in long robes are being burned by blue flames. Soon, not only the ashes but even the traces of their former existence disappear.)
(A petite girl in white robes watches this scene with a cruel expression. Suddenly sensing something, she looks up at the sky.)
Hecate: Have they finally set off?
Shudnan: (With a concerned expression) What's wrong, my lovely 'Master Throne' Hecate?
Hecate: It's just a former disciple walking their own path, nothing to worry about. Besides, I am not your property.
Shudnan: (Shrugging) Is it that Little Girl you mentioned before? Well, as long as you know what you're doing.
Shudnan: (Instantly switching to a ferocious expression) For now, let's finish slaughtering these pieces of trash who dare to scheme against our Leader.
