Epilogue

Welcome back, Fujimaru!

You must be pretty exhausted, huh? I'm sorry we got cut off so soon and couldn't help you out more!

On top of that, looks like you had to clean up one of my messes this time. I'm especially sorry about that.

？！

Hmph. Now that I think about it, this is the same sort of thing my predecessor did, isn't it! I know it's good to forget things sometimes, but still.

In truth, I need to apologize to you for putting your life in danger too, Master.

Well, I'm sure you had a rough go of it, being so helpless on your own and all, but I'm also sure you did your very best, and that's all any of us can be expected to do.

I think you've at least earned yourself a plate of Musik-style ultrafluffy pancakes topped with my special butter.

Indeed, I daresay this will be the perfect time to show off my masterful culinary skills. I can't have that cheeky Archer in red showing me up, now can I!

Congratulations on a job well done, Senpai!

？！

You said it. I never felt more despondent there than I did the moment I found out that Mash was an imposter.

I hope I never have to experience a shock like that again if I can avoid it.

？！

...

I'm guessing that was Reines's doing. Sima Yi's Noble Phantasm removes its target's advantages and exposes their weaknesses.

If Mnemosyne saw Da Vinci in those final moments, that would mean that Da Vinci was her weakness.

...I can imagine how that must have felt.

By the way, El-Melloi II, I don't think you ever told us who it is that came with you from that Singularity?

？！

Her? Well, uh, I guess you could say the Rhongomyniad sort of...pulled her here?

...Um, I'm sorry.

I know me being here is an imposition...but I just couldn't let sir fend for himself.

Then, before I knew it, there was this light and Add, well...

？！

Aha! The Holy Grail that was used to make the fake Rhongomyniad must have reacted to Gray's Rhongomyniad and granted her wish!

...I'm so sorry.

Why, don't be silly, girl. You've outdone yourself! Hey, Elron, don't just stand there!

Why don't you give her an escort fitting Chaldea, now that it's being run by a man with the refinement of an English gentleman, namely me!

Not to mention there are all sorts of things I want to ask about the Clock Tower!

Though of course, it goes without saying that my greatest interest lies in that shape-shifting box you have there.

I want to see what sort of magecraft it was built on and what its ultimate purpose is... I just want to pop it open and fiddle around with it all day long!

Whoa! I just got chills for the first time in a thousand years!

Good grief.

You deserve a great deal of credit for bringing this case to a close, so on my honor as a detective, allow me to offer you my personal guarantee.

There is not a single person in all of Novum Chaldea who will begrudge your presence here.

...Huh? Um...

Does that mean it's okay for us to stay here?

Heeheehee! I already know the answer! But hey, these kinds of rituals are important, right!?

？！

I will! Thank you so much for having us!
