Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

The night sky of Fuyuki City was illuminated by a cold moon, making it as bright as day.

A ball of sparks suddenly exploded in the courtyard of the Matou residence, as dazzling as fireworks, forming a portal.

After the light faded, Chen Yu's figure appeared in the same place.

He had just returned from the Winter City of Einzbern, where he had spent nearly two days entering all the magic books collected in the Einzbern library over the past thousand years into the system.

Although he looked a little tired at this moment, there was a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes.

Almost at the same time when Chen Yu stepped into the courtyard, the magic barrier of the Matou Mansion emitted a slight fluctuation.

This subtle movement did not escape the perception of Matou Kariya.

Although his magic skills were poor, thanks to the keen perception of the crest worm in his body, he was able to detect that the barrier of the Matou family had been triggered.

Matou Kariya rushed out of the house like a frightened bird and went to the courtyard to see who had broken in again.

When he saw clearly that the person coming was Chen Yu, his tense body relaxed and he let out a deep breath.

Although the Holy Grail War has ended, Fuyuki City is far from returning to peace.

After all, two big figures died in this Holy Grail War.

One is Kotomine Risei, the priest of the Eighth Mystery Society of the Holy Church.

One is Kenneth, one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower.

The mysterious death of Kotomine Risho and the murder of many believers angered the church staff in other cities.

Therefore, a large number of personnel were dispatched from other areas to investigate.

The people at the Clock Tower are also trying to find out the truth behind Kenneth's death.

Now, there are only two people in the Matou family who have the qualifications of a magician, Matou Kariya and Matou Sakura, and the head of the Matou family, Matou Yazuru, is just an ordinary person.

It was obvious that Matou Nozuru knew nothing about anything, and Matou Kariya became one of the breakthroughs in the incident.

The young man named Weber from the British Clock Tower ran away early.

Matou Kariya has been busy all day dealing with these church members and magicians.

Matou Kariya rubbed his aching temples, his heart filled with fatigue and helplessness.

Matou Kariya really hopes that Chen Yu can help him share some of the pressure from the Clock Tower and the Holy Church.

"Brother Chen Yu, you're back!"

Matou Sakura, who had been keeping an eye on Matou Kariya's movements, also poked her head out of the house.

The moment she saw Chen Yu's figure, a bright smile instantly broke out on her originally timid face, and her crisp voice broke the silence of the courtyard.

She was like a cheerful little bird, trotting towards Chen Yu with light steps.

Ever since being rescued from the nightmare of the insect cave by Chen Yu and Naiyali, the people Sakura Matou relies on and loves the most are them two.

Even though Naiyali was always cold to her and occasionally showed impatience, Matou Sakura was still full of affection for this white-haired sister with a strange charm, and even had a little longing for her.

However, today, Chen Yu did not see that familiar figure beside him.

Matou Sakura ran to Chen Yu, stopped hesitantly, raised her little face, and a trace of doubt flashed in her innocent eyes: "Where is the white-haired Naiyari sister?"

Chen Yu bent down, gently stroked Matou Sakura's smooth hair, and said in a gentle tone: "Nai Yali...she went back first."

"First……"

Sakura tilted her little head, a hint of confusion appearing on her pink cheeks, as if she didn't quite understand what "go back first" meant.

His little brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking hard about something.

Before she could figure it out, Chen Yu's next words made her already uneasy heart sink suddenly.

"Sakura, I'm leaving too."

"do not want!"

Hearing these words, the light in Matou Sakura's eyes dimmed instantly, and tears began to well up in her eyes, crystal clear, as if they would roll down at any time.

She subconsciously stretched out her little hand and tightly grasped the corner of Chen Yu's clothes, fearing that he would disappear in the next second.

With a crying voice and a hint of pleading: "I will be very obedient, really very obedient..."

She tried hard to control her emotions and not let her tears fall, but she couldn't help choking up. Her little hands grabbed the corner of Chen Yu's clothes more and more tightly, as if that was her only support.

Shinji Matou, who was hiding behind the door, looked at Chen Yu jealously, but due to Chen Yu's tyranny, he only dared to speak in a low voice.

Matou Shinji, who was hiding behind the door, watched the intimate interaction between Chen Yu and Xiaoying, and the flame of jealousy burned in his heart. He clenched his fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, but he didn't dare to make too much noise, and could only squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "Pretending, hypocritical! If you want to leave, get out now!"

Matou Tsuruno leaned silently against the porch pillar, watching this scene, a complex light flashed in his turbid eyes.

He took a deep puff of the cigarette and exhaled slowly. In the smoke, his thoughts drifted back to the past.

As the head of the Matou family, he has always lived under the shadow of Matou Zouken, with only a nominal position.

He had no good feelings towards the magic itself, and could even be said to hate it, but in order to maintain the dignity of the Matou family and his own comfortable life, he had to endure it all.

Chen Yu got rid of Matou Zouken, and the dark cloud that had shrouded the Matou family for five hundred years finally dissipated. He felt a little relieved, but also a little confused.

"Ying, listen to me," Chen Yu gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Matou Ying's eyes and said softly, "All good things must come to an end. We will meet again sooner or later."

He took out a thick notebook from his pocket and handed it to Matou Kariya.

Matou Kariya took the notebook in confusion and subconsciously flipped through a few pages, his expression gradually turning into shock.

He quickly scanned the contents of the notes, and his breathing became rapid.

"Chen Yu, this... this is..."

He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Chen Yu.

"As you can see, this is a magic notebook." Chen Yu explained with a smile, "It's a gift for you and Sakura. It doesn't record the insect magic you hate, but the original water magic of the Matou family, as well as the imaginary number magic that Sakura needs."

Kariya’s fingers were tightly grasping the cover of the notebook, and his knuckles were turning white.

This seemingly ordinary notebook felt as heavy as a thousand pounds in his hands.

He knew that this notebook contained extremely precious magical knowledge, whose value could not be measured by money.

He had originally planned to completely abandon his identity as a magus and live an ordinary life after the Holy Grail War ended.

But the appearance of the Holy Church today made him realize that in this dangerous world, only by having strength can he protect himself and his family, especially Sakura.

Although he still has grudges against magic, for the future of the Matou family and for Sakura's happiness, he must pick up the magic that he once abandoned.

He took a deep breath and solemnly put away the notes, his eyes full of gratitude and determination.

"Before I leave, I should also fulfill my promise and let Sakura forget the shadow in her heart."

A faint blue light shone from Chen Yu's fingertips, and his voice was gentle but firm.

"No...I don't want to forget Brother Chen Yu..."

Matou Sakura shook her head desperately, her eyes blurred by tears. She grasped the corner of Chen Yu's clothes tightly, like a drowning person grasping the last straw.

She didn't want to forget Chen Yu, and didn't want to forget this short but warm time.

"Don't worry, Sakura, you won't forget me. The only thing you'll forget is the nightmare in your heart."

The light of the Oblivion Spell gently passed over Sakura's forehead, without bringing any burning sensation, but instead felt like a cool breeze.

Sakura's frown gradually relaxed, and the tears in the corners of her eyes gradually dried up. The fear and sadness in her eyes gradually dissipated.

She fell into a sleep with a calm and peaceful look on her face.

The fallen leaves fluttered like snow, dancing and spinning in the air, as if bidding farewell to this fading memory.

"I'll leave Sakura to you. See you in ten years."

Chen Yu handed the unconscious Sakura to Matou Kariya.

The portal's light lit up again, like a rainbow bridge leading to another world.

Chen Yu's figure gradually blurred and finally disappeared in the flying fallen leaves, leaving only faint sparks floating in the air.

"He came here specifically to deliver something, and he even said something about erasing the shadow... What a weird person..."

Shinji Matou stood there blankly, looking at the empty courtyard with a complicated expression.

He couldn't understand Chen Yu's behavior, nor could he understand Xiaoying's attachment to Chen Yu.

He only knew that the person who brought Sakura warmth and hope just disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

A gust of wind blew by, blowing up the fallen petals on the ground, and also blowing up the inexplicable irritability and uneasiness in Shinji's heart.
