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

"When did you know that?"

Sakura playfully covered her mouth and giggled, looking smugly at Shinji who was surprised in return:

"...I already knew it when the Holy Grail War just ended...It was Saber who first sensed it, saying that your aura suddenly disappeared..."

At this point, Sakura giggled as if she remembered something funny, leaving Shinji a little at a loss.

"Speaking of which, we were really shocked at the time. We almost thought that you, Nisan, had met with an accident outside."

"In the end, it was Sister Medea who told us the cause of the incident and explained to us that you might have used the power of the Holy Grail to go to other parallel worlds."

"But as for whether you can come back, Nissan, she said she couldn't guarantee it, so I can only wait..."

"..."

"So, Nissan, if you want to go out and have fun, that's fine, but at least remember to come home for dinner!"

"...Ah, I will..."

Shinji lay down on his side in frustration, looking up at the unfamiliar ceiling above his head and continued:

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, so remember to make my lunch..."

"Well, I understand...?"

"...There is no need to doubt, the power of time is so magical."

"...is that so?"

Sakura was skeptical, looking at the confident expression on Shinji's face, but for a moment she was not sure.

"Of course I will never leave you alone again... so come and give me a good send-off tonight."

As he was talking, Shinji's hands, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly became restless and moved back and forth on the girl's body, making her blush again...

"Eh? But Nissan, didn't you ask Rin to give it to you...Aren't you going to go?"

"I just asked her to warm the bed, I didn't say I was going to sleep... Just think of it as a benefit for her. I have no use for keeping so much money anyway."

Hearing this, Sakura completely understood her brother's intentions... She could even imagine Rin sleeping alone in bed, thinking about making money while worrying about why Shinji hadn't come yet...

For a moment, I felt both amused and helpless.

But...this should be considered a good thing, right?

......

The next day

Shinji opened the door and walked out of Sakura's room, took a deep breath, and finally felt the air of this world.

"It's almost time to say goodbye..."

He walked downstairs to the living room and inadvertently glanced at the half-open door. He remembered that it seemed to be his own room.

Thinking of what Sakura said to him last night, he should say hello to Rin before leaving... Although he is not very happy about it, after all, the other party has waited for him for a whole night, so he should at least say hello to her...

I pushed open the half-open door and as soon as I stepped in, I could hear a "whoosh" sound.

But the sound did not come from the bed, but from the chair next to it...

Shinji walked over curiously and took a look, only to see Rin squatting on the chair beside him with her knees hugged, and she had fallen asleep with crystal drops of water hanging from the corners of her mouth.

"Money... a lot of money hehehe..."

Seeing this scene, Shinji couldn't help but laugh.

Are you afraid that he will take advantage of you at night, so you specially go to the chair and stay there all night? I really don't know whether to say you are smart or what to do... Maybe he is indeed too harsh on Lin?

"Huh? Why is my quilt...bulging?"

Shinji's attention was suddenly drawn to a bulging quilt on the bed.

Since Rin is here, what is this?

Although it seems strange, as the saying goes, practice is the only law to test truth.

Pull it and see...

"...boom!"

"Ah! What? What? Something exploded!?"

The moment Shinji pulled back the quilt, several red-glowing gems on the bed suddenly flashed, followed by a huge explosion.

Lin was also awakened by the noise, and looked at the foot of the bed in front of him with confusion...

"Eh? Exploded...exploded?"

......

"...That bastard, I am too soft-hearted!"

Shinji sat in a world of nothingness, regretfully blowing on the non-existent ground under his butt.

Even though he escaped from that world before the explosion, his face was still blackened by the hot smoke. He was so angry that he almost wanted to go back and settle the score with Rin.

"... Phew~ Never mind, I'll let her go this time, and we can settle all the old and new grudges together later!"

Shinji took a long breath to calm himself down, then slowly stood up and looked around.

"This... doesn't seem to be where the [Restraint] is?"

Shinji was walking in a strange space that was like a kaleidoscope. The space was so boundless that even the flow of time was difficult to perceive.

Obviously, this situation never happened before when I traveled through time and space...

Shinji walked forward carefully while trying to use his ability. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the power had not disappeared. As long as there was still a way to get out of here, it would be fine.

Then I walked in one direction for a while until a tall and long chair suddenly appeared in front of me...

"This is?"

Why is there such a thing here?

Shinji looked at the peculiarly shaped chair, his suspicion growing even more intense, and suddenly he seemed to understand something.

"This place...could it be..."

"This is really rare... I didn't expect to see someone other than me here..."

"!?"

When? Even he didn't feel the presence...

A rough but powerful voice suddenly came from behind. Shinji instantly dodged to the side, looking warily at the white-haired old man who had appeared behind him at some point.

"Hahaha! There's no need to be so surprised, the mysterious descendant of the Matou family."

"you know me?"

"Of course, after all, your appearance has caused confusion in the direction of many worlds. To be honest, it has caused me a lot of trouble... But since you can come here, you must be a [special case] abandoned by the [Suppression Force]."

"...What? How could it be...you are not!"

When Shinji saw the other person's old and tall figure, as well as the unique dress, he suddenly remembered someone.

Different from the "mutated second method" he learned halfway, that guy was really called the "second magician"...

"Oh, it seems you recognized me too... That's right, this is the gap between the worlds. The only people who can come here are basically those who have mastered the Second Law..."

...The old man named Baoshi...It seems he is another extraordinary old guy.
