Then, when Alvin looked up toward the source of the commotion, his fingertips trembled slightly.
At this moment, Kama's temple had already completely disappeared.
When Alvin left the consciousness space carrying the human-form Tiamat, an epic battle was unfolding above the Tohsaka residence.
The shadows beneath Morgan's feet continuously clashed with Manaka Sajyou's magical energy in the air. The aftershocks from the collision of Age of Gods magecraft directly blew the roof off the Tohsaka mansion.
As the Ruler of this Holy Grail War, Morgan could have used Command Seals to restrain a Servant.
However, Manaka Sajyou was not a Servant.
But then again... why had they started fighting among themselves?
"Alvin, you're finally out!"
Merlin quickly walked over from a distance. When he saw Alvin, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
"What happened? Why are Manaka and Sis Morgan fighting?", Alvin frowned.
Merlin first glanced warily at this version of Tiamat sitting on Alvin's shoulder, then roughly explained what had happened.
By the time he reached the end, Alvin's expression had become strange.
'So after all that, it is the work of "Humanity's Evil" Fujimaru Ritsuka?'
But in the end, even Fujimaru Ritsuka probably hadn't expected that one short sentence would lead to a situation like this.
They had only just sent Tiamat's true body back to the Imaginary Number Space, and their own side had already started fighting internally.
Tiamat, who had been watching the drama the whole time, curiously poked Alvin's stiff face.
"Aaaaaa? (Are human courtship rituals always this unusual?)"
Alvin finally came back to his senses. Looking up at the two figures beneath the sky, he fell into a long silence.
He had only just solved Tiamat's problem, and now a new one had arrived immediately after.
The issue was, how was he supposed to stop them under these circumstances?
'Where are the Chaldea people? Stop watching and come help!'
Alvin instinctively looked to the side.
Fujimaru Ritsuka wore an awkward but polite apologetic smile, while Mash unconsciously took half a step back when she noticed Alvin looking at her.
"Sir White Dragon... this is your family matter. It wouldn't really be appropriate for us to interfere..."
'A family matter? If they keep fighting, they might create another Singularity for you people!'
Alvin complained beneath.
After all, both Morgan and Manaka were magi skilled in Age of Gods magecraft.
And Age of Gods magecraft meant limitless possibilities.
Alvin took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
'Alright...'
At this point, he could only force himself to step in.
———
"Mmm..."
In Rin Tohsaka's arms, Sakura Matou's eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes.
The darkness that had filled her eyes was gone, replaced by their usual light.
Rin was delighted.
"Sakura, you're awake?"
"Does anything feel wrong?", she quickly asked.
Sakura gently shook her head. Looking up at the Age of Gods magecraft crossing through the sky and at Alvin, who had just flown into the air, she softly murmured, "Big Sister... if this continues, Senpai will end up becoming theirs."
"You don't mind?"
She looked at Rin, her voice returning to its usual softness.
Rin unconsciously clenched her hand. Her long hair danced wildly from the magical energy surging through the air.
"But with a battle involving Age of Gods magecraft at this level, we can't get involved at all..."
"Actually, it's not like there's no way."
Sakura gently held Rin's wrist, and a different kind of tenderness appeared in her voice.
"Use a Command Seal, Big Sister."
"The Holy Grail War hasn't ended yet. You're still his Master, aren't you?"
Although the Greater Grail had been shattered, Servants could still maintain their existence in the world for a period of time using their own magical energy.
As long as she used a Command Seal, the entire situation could easily be turned around.
Rin lowered her head and looked at the Command Seals on the back of her hand.
Under the streetlights, the crimson marks seemed to wriggle like living creatures, as if urging her to use them as soon as possible.
———
Meanwhile, high in the sky—
"Alvin, it seems you successfully stopped Lady Tiamat."
Morgan looked at the boy in the sky with affection in her eyes and a smile on her lips.
"But this is a matter between Miss Sajyou and me... it's best if you don't interfere."
"Don't worry. I'll show restraint. I won't cause you any trouble."
"Besides, I'm also the Ruler of this Holy Grail War."
A cold smile appeared on Manaka's lips.
"Attacking a Holy Grail War Master without reason, that doesn't seem like something a Ruler should be doing either, Princess Morgan."
"Different people deserve different attitudes. At least when it comes to you, there's no need for me to be polite."
After saying that, Morgan turned to look at Alvin.
"Alvin, once I've dealt with this shameless woman, we can slowly catch up."
"The man who secretly seduced his younger sister behind King Arthur's back..."
Manaka sneered.
"Which one of us is shameless, Princess Morgan?"
"The matter between Lily and me was resolved long ago. It's not your place as an outsider to comment on it."
Morgan pressed her hand against her staff.
Magical energy continuously gathered at its tip.
"The so-called Root was merely something everyone could approach during the Age of Gods."
"Miss Sajyou, next I'll show you what true British magecraft really is."
'Not good. Sis Morgan is getting serious...'
A storm raged through Alvin's mind.
Looking at Manaka, terrifying magical energy was gathering around her as well.
Just as he was about to force himself to stop them, he suddenly felt something strange happen to his body.
Immediately afterward, the magical energy inside Alvin suddenly boiled, and his contract with the Command Seal entered a forced resonance.
"Wait, this feeling is..."
The next moment, accompanied by a voice that could not be disobeyed, the tense battlefield suddenly fell silent.
Because at that moment, they all heard an irresistible voice sound beside them.
"Return to my side, Alvin!"
For the first time, Manaka Sajyou's eyes lost their usual composure.
Looking at Alvin as he gradually turned into spirit particles, her gaze slowly became blank.
'Someone actually took him away right in front of me?'
Morgan's expression darkened as she stared at the figure gradually disappearing.
A hint of amusement and danger entered her voice.
"A Command Seal?"
———
The power of the Command Seal covered Alvin almost instantly.
His body quickly became transparent.
Then a beam of white light rapidly swallowed him.
Whoosh!
The cold night wind blew through the white curtains, scattering fragments of light.
The snow outside had already stopped.
But late-night Fuyuki remained quiet, completely unaware that it had nearly suffered an unprecedented disaster not long ago.
From a tree branch outside came the faint sound of insects crawling.
The weight of the snow soon caused the branch to snap.
Alvin slowly opened his eyes.
He rubbed his forehead lightly and looked ahead.
Standing before him was a girl wearing a uniform with twin ponytails.
Another Command Seal mark had disappeared from the back of her hand.
The seal itself had lost its original crimson color.
Alvin let out a helpless sigh.
"Seriously, what kind of Master uses Command Seals like this?"
"I was worried you'd get caught up in it, so I brought you back."
The moment she saw Alvin, the tension she had been carrying finally eased.
She had originally been worried that after the Greater Grail was destroyed, the Command Seal might no longer work on Alvin.
"And if you stayed there, Miss Sajyou and Teacher wouldn't stop fighting," Rin continued.
The teacher she referred to was naturally Morgan le Fay.
Alvin fell silent.
That was true.
Manaka Sajyou and Morgan le Fay had started fighting because of Alvin in the first place.
Now that Alvin had been "taken away" right in front of them, both of them would logically prioritize finding him first.
Thinking about it that way, Rin had actually helped a lot this time.
"This place seems to be... the Matou residence? So Sakura should be with you too?"
Alvin looked around at his surroundings.
It was a traditional Japanese-style room.
The heater quietly supplied warmth, and a cozy feeling filled the house.
Alvin remembered the place.
He had visited the Matou residence before with Rin.
"How is she now?"
"The Beast that had occupied her body seems to have fallen asleep, but Sakura feels a little guilty and is too embarrassed to see you..."
Rin's tone became quieter.
Kama could amplify a person's desires.
But in the end, if that person had no such thoughts to begin with, even Kama couldn't control Sakura and make her do things.
"This time, it's all thanks to you."
"If you hadn't called forth Lady Tiamat, who knows what Fuyuki would have become in the end."
As Rin spoke, relief entered her voice, "Even Kama probably never imagined that Mother's true body would be in the Imaginary Number Space."
Alvin smiled, "It's just a shame the Greater Grail was still destroyed."
The moment the topic came up, Alvin found it hard to keep a straight face.
Within only ten years, Fuyuki's Greater Grail had been destroyed, rebuilt, and then destroyed again.
It had endured far too much.
Alvin soon turned his head toward the direction of the Tohsaka residence.
From there, he could no longer sense any magical energy fluctuations.
"Looks like Manaka and Sis Morgan really stopped fighting...", Alvin finally relaxed.
His gaze returned to Rin, only to discover that she was staring straight at him.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"What is it, Rin?"
"Don't you feel reluctant, Alvin?"
Rin suddenly asked, "The Greater Grail has been destroyed, which means Servants summoned through it will disappear soon."
"Maybe we won't have another chance to meet in the future..."
Alvin paused for a moment.
Then, smiling, he took one of her hands.
Because of tonight's battle, Rin's clothes were somewhat disheveled.
One of her thigh-high stockings had been torn earlier, exposing the fair skin beneath the black stocking.
The dim light highlighted the girl's growing figure.
Although she wore a dissatisfied expression, hidden deep within her eyes was a complicated sense of reluctance.
She lacked the all-embracing gentleness of her younger sister Sakura, but possessed a young girl's purity and liveliness.
Feeling the warmth of Alvin's hand, Rin instinctively wanted to pull her hand back.
But in the end, she held herself back.
The heat in the boy's gaze quickly brought a blush to her face. Her eyes rippled slightly as she awkwardly looked away.
"Stop fooling around. I'm trying to talk about something serious..."
Tsundere Rin was fun as always, but she was even more attractive when embarrassed.
Alvin didn't respond.
Instead, he took a hard black dragon scale from his clothing and placed it in her palm.
Rin instinctively looked up at him.
"What is this?"
"A scale from a demonic dragon. It's also my most important Mystic Code."
Only then did Rin react.
She immediately looked up, "I can't accept something like this..."
