Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Heroic spirits? Indeed, if we continue to live as we are now, there will be no more Holy Grail Wars without the Holy Grail, and it will naturally be impossible to meet those famous people in history.

"We'll be separated forever..."

That doesn't sound like a happy topic.

"...Speaking of which, Miss Saber is also a king. So what was the wish she wanted to fulfill with the Holy Grail?"

"I remember she mentioned it... maybe she went back to the past and stopped her country from being destroyed."

"Is that right?"

Sakura heard Rin's answer and looked at what was written on the wooden sign.

"King Arthur... Camelot... Rebellion..."

...History doesn't seem to have changed, which means...it still hasn't succeeded until now.

"Boom!"

"what!"

When Sakura suddenly felt sad, someone hit her on the head. When she looked up, she saw that the murderer was Shinji.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Things like this involving time are not as simple as you think... Just looking at this history alone doesn't mean anything."

"Eh? So Nissan means that Miss Saber may have changed the outcome of the country's destruction?"

"...Who knows?"

Shinji stared at the wooden sign in front of him in a daze, recalling the last time he saw the other person.

The crown on his head, his growing body, and the holy spear...

Although the result is still unclear, if it is that guy, it will surely be enough to make it to the last step.

But he probably won't be able to see that scene...if he continues to live a peaceful life like this.

Shinji raised his eyes, and as the doubts in his mind settled, he no longer felt so uneasy, and his expression suddenly became cheerful.

Then he stood up and walked to the side, silently taking out his mobile phone:

"Well... since we're here, let's take a photo together!"

"!?"

"Eh?"

"what?"

The three of them turned their heads sharply to look at Shinji, only to see that he had already struck a pose, holding up his phone to include them and the flower bed.

That look is what normal people would do when they come across a beautiful view, but this behavior might be a little inappropriate here...

Toosaka Rin was the first to come to her senses. She pursed her lips and said nothing, but stood up at an extremely fast speed and rushed towards Shinji.

Then with a "click!", he snatched the phone from the other person's hand just before Shinji pressed the shutter button.

"...What are you doing?"

"That's what I want to say, okay? What do you want to do?"

"Take a photo? It's not like you haven't taken photos before..."

"Of course I know you are taking pictures! But why are you taking pictures here? Are you stupid? Can't you understand the current atmosphere?"

Toosaka Rin stared at Shinji with a dark face, somewhat incredulous. Has this guy really become stupid, or is he deliberately pretending to be stupid?

Who would happily take photos in front of an acquaintance’s grave?

However, after being stopped by Rin, Shinji still seemed unaware that there was anything unreasonable about his behavior.

"What's the atmosphere? Aren't there still people taking pictures over there?"

"That's different, okay... After all, to them, King Arthur is just a character in history books, but we have actually come into contact with her in person, so the feeling when we see her again will naturally be different..."

"..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's as if the person is really dead..."

"You better shut up... Wait, what do you mean by that?"

After hearing Shinji's unrepentant rebuttal, Toosaka Rin was ready to give up arguing with this blockhead, but his next sentence caught her attention again.

"Did you just find out?"

Shinji calmly took the phone back from the other person and continued to explain:

"Saber is actually a little different from other Heroic Spirits... She is not dead in the direct sense, but in a state of suspended animation, so that she can have the opportunity to change that period of history in the future."

"Although the other heroes have also disappeared in history, as their existence is engraved in the Hall of Heroes, no one can be sure whether they will meet again in the future..."

In addition to Rin, Shirou and Sakura also looked over after hearing Shinji's words, because they had not heard much about these things, and the other party seemed to know more than them.

After Shinji got his phone back, he turned on the camera as if nothing had happened, but this time he leaned closer to the people in front of him...

"The Holy Grail War is nothing more than a ritual to summon heroic spirits to fight. As a product of magic, it is not impossible for similar substitutes to appear in the future."

"...and have you forgotten one thing..."

"?Did I forget something important?"

Rin asked curiously, but the only response she got was a beam of golden light.

A golden cup emitting a sacred light suddenly appeared in Shinji's hand. As soon as this thing appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the three people, and they shouted its name in unison:

“The Holy Grail!!!”

"...That's right, this thing didn't disappear, but I took it away...After all, it's a wishing machine that can theoretically fulfill any wish. Such a treasure is naturally more valuable than just making a wish!"

"...How could this be? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"

"I see. No wonder there were rumors that the Holy Grail was stolen. It turned out that you took it away. I thought it disappeared automatically after the Holy Grail War ended..."

"It is indeed shocking. Can it still be used to make wishes now?"

"..."

"Eh!? Why are you suddenly silent? Did I say something wrong?"

"...No, Sakura, you're right...This really wakes me up..."

Toosaka Rin suddenly woke up, staring at the Holy Grail in Shinji's hand with shining eyes:

"Now that the Holy Grail is in your hand, you can make a wish directly to it!"

Shinji looked at Rin's expression and could tell what was going on in his mind at a glance. He then raised the corners of his mouth and smirked, and deliberately pushed the Holy Grail towards him:

"That's right! Although you need to fill it with magic power before you can make a wish, it's already full of magic power now, so you can use it to make wishes come true."

"!"

"...and the Holy Grail is now my property, not ownerless. So if I want, I can start a Holy Grail War right here...If I'm lucky, maybe I can even let Saber see her own tomb with her own eyes."

"!!!"
