The Curtain Falls

Approaching the mirror world plane into standard space in forty...thirty...twenty...!

Shut off Triton Engines Two through Four! Get us back to normal speed!

Here it comes! Everyone, brace for impact! We're about to reach the British Lostbelt's

No, regular British airspace!

Senpai! Look out the window!

It's our sky! We're in our own world! Why don't we go out to the deck to see it up close!?

？！

Attention all staff. The Storm Border has successfully returned to British airspace.

We are standing down from high alert.

Please return all weaponry to the armory and resume your standard duties.

First, I'm told Commander Goredolf would like to say a few words. The floor is yours, Commander.

R-right then! First off, I want to congratulate you all on completing this extraordinarily long mission.

The field team did exemplary work in investigating this mysterious land, enlisting help from the local populace, and preventing the world's collapse.

And for fifty days, our staff remained vigilantly on standby in almost total darkness, all while keeping the Border shipshape.

Thanks to all your efforts, Sheba is now back to normal parameters.

This, of course, means the collapse that was predicted to spread from Britain to the rest of the world has been completely averted!

So, I am proud to announce that, as of this moment, our operation in the British Lostbelt is concluded!

Um... Congratulations! Hip, hip, hooray!

Pfft. Is that the best you've got, chubby? You really oughta brush up on your vocabulary!

I-I was just saying what I felt! If you think you can do better, you can try giving the next speech!

Do you know how hard it is to be cool, collected, and eloquent with a spotlight on you!? The answer is "pretty damn!"

...Good grief. Da Vinci, could you give me the mic again?

Next, I have some more mundane news.

We are currently flying at low speed so we can run diagnostics on all our systems.

I've put up an air net around the deck, so for the next twenty minutes, those who wish to go out there may do so.

...Take a look. It might not be easy, but it's still important.

Go make one last memory of Britain before we leave it behind.

？！

Although...this Britain...

Faerie Britain...is gone now...

？！

？！

...Right. Right!

I learned so, so many valuable things on this journey! I'll treasure these memories forever!

Heeey! Fujimaru! Maaash!

Da Vinci! Did you come to take one last look at Britain, too?

Sure did. After all the time I spent traveling around it, I figure I should say a final goodbye.

Plus, I wanted to toast Mike with this wine I got from Baker.

So long, Mike. I bet you're doing great things with your pub right now.

In fact, I know you are. Even if you're from a different world that's been restored and pruned away...

Even if it's no longer possible to observe it now that this universe has deemed it unnecessary...

The planet still remembers everything that once existed on it.

...One of these days, I'm gonna cross that border so I can pay you a visit and see how far you've come.

？！

Oh, right! That's not the only reason I came here!

You guys gotta come with me to my workshop, now!

The Spirit Origin graph just started glowing out of nowhere, and I also heard what sounds like meowing!

Help me check the summoner, will you!? There's no telling what might pop out from it!

I see! Leave it to me. I can handle whatever it throws at us.

After all the power-ups I got in Faerie Britain, I'm basically Super Kyrielight now!

？！

Yes? What is it, Master!?

？！

...!

Th-that's okay! I knew that! I'll just save my disappointment for later!

Anyway, never mind that now! We still have to go to Da Vinci's workshop!

I'm not sure why, but I'm really excited about this! I think we're about to meet someone wonderful!

You suuure about that? Well, okay. I guess I can trust Super Kyrielight's intuition.

Okay, Britain, this is it. Thanks for introducing us to so many great people.

Now, come on, Fujimaru. We've still got a long way to go.

It's time we stopped reminiscing and went back to our own home.

？！

You know, this is kind of exciting.

I wonder what sort of Heroic Spirit we're about to meet?

...Trismegistus II. Catastrophe Defragmentation, halted.

Transitioning to Catastrophe Automation. Great work on discovering and repairing this unexpected dead end.

I really have to hand it to Chaldea! It only took them twenty-three hours and fifty-eight minutes to prevent the collapse!

But there is no time to celebrate. I need to get ready for the next dead-end point.

Let me see. It looks like the other potentially nasty incidents ahead are...

The immature Beast that flew off from Britain, and what could end up being the single largest Singularity to date...

As for Kadoc's recovery...

It does not seem that there is any way to remove his Sirius Light, so we will just have to give up on that.

Hmm. So the hieroglyph prediction is "Not a problem. Revolt. Eyelid eyelid"?

I do not get it. In Arabic, please! Oh well, I will just ignore it for now.

More importantly, I think it is time to focus on the big gal herself. I wonder what she is going to do next?

...Huh, so that is what our future has in store. I cannot say it is unexpected, but it does not leave us much time.

I had better hurry and make preparations.

Chaldea has conquered six Lostbelts, and the Foreign God has surely finished her studies by this point.

So now, we each only have a single target left. This will no doubt be our last victory without any casualties.

There is simply no way we can all make it out unscathed from what comes next, is there?
