My fiancée Yukino

Luo Bai smiled and said, "It's quite a surprise to have you personally greet me. Let's go inside and talk about the details. The banquet should be ready soon, right?"

Gilgamesh nodded: "Of course, the grand celebration will begin soon. Come in and rest for a while. I also need to know the details."

Upon arriving at the temple, the group recounted their battle with Gorgon, during which Quetzalcoatl and the leopard-man also arrived.

After learning the whole story, Gilgamesh nodded: "Tiamat will not awaken, that is the best outcome. Thank you all for your efforts."

At this moment, Quetzalcoatl said, "Although Gorgon has been dealt with and Tiamat won't awaken, during this time, Gorgon has used the divine power he obtained from Tiamat to create many magical beasts. We've only dealt with a small portion of them. We still can't let our guard down in Uruk!"

"Of course, I am aware of all this. Even if you leave later, as long as I am here, those magical beasts will not be able to cause any trouble. The soldiers of Uruk are not to be trifled with either."

Medea also said, "The fortifications I've created will not disappear; they're enough to ensure Uruk can withstand the attacks of the monsters."

Rising from his throne, Gilgamesh took a vast amount of treasure from his treasury and collapsed before Ishtar.

“Ishtar, this is the payment we agreed on. Take it.”

"What's mine, it's all mine!"

Ishtar cheered and threw herself onto the pile of treasure, completely disregarding her status as a goddess.

Then, Gilgamesh took out his own Uruk Chalice, which was another Holy Grail in this singularity, and handed it to Gudako.

"This is a reward for Chaldea. You will need this in the upcoming battles."

Upon receiving the Holy Grail, Gudako exclaimed happily, "Thank you so much, King Gilgamesh! Mash, the Holy Grail, another Holy Grail!"

Roman in Chaldea was also very happy to learn about this.

With the help of the Uruk Grail, and combined with the other Holy Grails that have already been recovered, Gudako will no longer be limited to fighting alongside Mash in the upcoming battles; she should be able to summon more Servants to assist her.

After giving the Holy Grail to Gudako, Gilgamesh looked at Lobo.

"Although I have given you the contract of Ushiwakamaru, it seems that is not enough. Is there anything else you want? You can tell me."

"You're quite generous, Gilgamesh," Luo Bai said with a smile. "As for rewards, I'm not greedy for those things. I don't lack money, and I can improve my strength myself. If I had to say, the only thing that interests me is probably the Ea you've sealed away. Of course, I wouldn't take what belongs to someone else, so let's not talk about rewards for now. I'll keep it for now. In case I need your help someday, I might just summon you from the Throne of Heroes."

"Hmph, you've got some nerve. Otherwise, since it's you, I wouldn't mind being summoned by you. But please don't summon a Servant who can only summon a portion of my power, otherwise I probably wouldn't recognize you, especially since this is a singularity."

"Of course, a simple Servant King of Heroes wouldn't be of much help to me. If there's any real trouble, it will definitely be the Heroic Spirit himself."

Gilgamesh from Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night is completely different from the one in front of him now, so Luo Bai naturally wouldn't treat them as the same person.

In Luo Bai's view, Gilgamesh, who was a king, was someone worth befriending.

After these matters were discussed, the preparations for the celebration were almost complete.

Led by Siduri, everyone came to the square to begin the grand celebration for the evening.

Volume 1: Chapter 657 The Celebration (1/2)

During the celebration, everyone sat in the square, drinking and eating the carefully prepared food.

The other people in Uruk were also drinking, singing, and dancing happily in the square, celebrating the arrival of victory.

After taking a sip of beer, Luo Bai asked Gudako beside him, "When are you planning to go back to Chaldea?"

Gudako looked at the lively scene before her with a hint of reluctance and said softly, "I need to hurry back and make preparations after the festival ends."

Merlin nodded in agreement: "Yes, the final battle is almost here. Luo Jun, I heard from Roman that you're also planning to help?"

“That’s right, I’m very interested in the mastermind behind the burning of humanity.”

Looking at Luo Bai's smile, Merlin said with admiration, "You really have guts. But considering your performance today, I believe you can help Chaldea. However, for doing such a big favor for Chaldea, has Roman promised you any benefits?"

"About this...we haven't really discussed it in detail."

Luo Bai stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "To be honest, I'd really like to kidnap the entire Chaldea. As an organization capable of summoning Heroic Spirits to save humanity, although they're doing great things, Chaldea's situation might not be so good after humanity is saved. Can you hear me, Dr. Roman?"

At this moment, Roman and Leonardo da Vinci, who were listening to Lobe and Merlin's conversation in Chaldea, both fell silent.

One of them was Solomon, and the other was a heroic spirit with great achievements. Their rich experiences naturally allowed them to know the truth of Luo Bai's words.

After the crisis of the burning of humanity is resolved, it is no surprise that restrictions will be imposed on Chaldea, and they may even encounter some unprecedented events.

Roman cannot see any of this yet; it is all shrouded in the crisis of the burning of humanity.

However, Roman didn't think there was anything wrong with Luo Bai's idea; on the contrary, he thought it was quite good.

Another world would indeed be a good choice for Chaldea after it has resolved its civilization crisis.

Once civilization is saved, and it is confirmed that no similar major crisis will occur again, Chaldea will not have much need to continue to exist.

Thinking of this, Roman smiled again.

"Let's discuss these things after the final battle, shall we? What do you say, Luo Jun?"

"Of course I have no problem with it."

Luo Bai understood Roman's thoughts perfectly. He was simply worried that something else might be waiting for him after defeating Goetia, so he didn't want to agree so quickly.

Given his level of concern for the Chaldea people, he would definitely be willing to move Chaldea to Lobo's world, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

A peaceful world is the best option for the Chaldea members who have experienced so much; everyone needs a good rest.

After the call with Roman ended, everyone continued to enjoy the brief moment of celebration.

Holding a wine glass, Luo Bai went to the room where he was sitting alone.

Next to Gilgamesh, who was in a high position.

"You returned Enkidu's body to the underworld?"

Gilgamesh nodded calmly: "After Kingu's soul dissipated, I went to the Underworld and sent him back. After losing the Holy Grail, Enkidu's memories began to surface in Kingu's soul; otherwise, he wouldn't have so easily revealed his plans regarding Gorgon. Since he spoke honestly, I did not torture him and gave him a painless end."

No torture?

Luo Bai didn't think Gilgamesh would really be willing to use excessive force on Enkidu's body.

Gilgamesh glanced at Luo Bai, who was looking at him strangely, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he said, "The Underworld, have you forgotten about that place? I met Ereshkigal there. She has been thoroughly observing the surface and is very angry that no one has come to find her."

"Hmm? Ereshkigal? Ah, I really forgot."

Luo Bai then realized that he had actually forgotten to look for Ellie, one of the four girlfriends outside the shield.

There was no other way; Luo Bai and his group had already won over the other goddesses with their strength, and in order to reduce casualties, they decisively captured Jingu and went straight to the heart of the enemy to fight Gorgon.

Furthermore, Ereshkigal has her own limitations; she cannot leave the Underworld. At most, she can only log on through Ishtar and come out briefly at night.

But before she could even come out, everything was already taken care of.

After Gilgamesh mentioned Ereshkigal, Luo Bai was reminded of something else.

An old man in the mountains.

I saw this Grand Assassin once before in Uruk, but he hasn't appeared since.

I reckon the enemy didn't expect their fighting strength to be so high; they managed to defeat Gorgon while also preventing Tiamat's awakening.

Just as Luo Bai was thinking of the old man in the mountains, he saw a figure with a hood appear out of nowhere in the crowd ahead, calmly looking in his direction.

Not only Luo Bai, but Gilgamesh also noticed, but like Luo Bai, he didn't react.

A few seconds later, the old man in the mountains disappeared.

"A Grand-rank Assassin, indeed quite powerful."

After the old man in the mountains left, Gilgamesh finally narrowed his eyes and offered a small compliment.

Luo Bai smiled and said, "If things don't go so smoothly and Tiamat appears, the Old Man of the Mountain can indeed play a key role in the battle against Tiamat."

In the original work, the Old Man of the Mountain forcibly imbued Tiamat with the concept of death by sacrificing his own Grand Order, thus laying the foundation for the final victory.

Without dwelling on the topic of the old man in the mountains, Gilgamesh shook his wine glass, stood up, and began to walk towards the crowd to enjoy the celebration with the people of Uruk.

Late at night, in Gilgamesh's palace.

After the celebration, everyone gathered here; it was time to leave.

Looking at Anna, Luo Bai smiled and extended his hand to her.

"Now, what are your thoughts?"

Seeing Luo Bai extend his hand, Anna paused for a moment before slowly offering her own. The two then made a contract in front of everyone.

Anna also officially became Loeb's third Servant.

Meanwhile, Rin's brief contract with Ishtar had also ended, and the summoned Servants were emitting a faint golden light.

The summoning time limit has expired.

The heroic spirits felt no regrets. Being summoned in this era and witnessing all of this made their journey worthwhile.

Amidst farewells, Luo Bai and the others watched the heroic spirits depart.

Then, it was their turn.

Volume 1: Chapter 658 Returning Home, The Incident (2/2)

Looking at the Chaldea group standing opposite them, returning through another teleportation channel, Luo Bai said with a smile, "Go back and get some rest. If you need my help, just have Roman notify me immediately, don't hesitate."

Gudako waved happily: "We know, see you in a few days!"

With the opening of the spirit particle teleportation channel, Gudako and her two companions left the Seventh Singularity and returned to Uruk.

Before Luo Bai and the others left, he looked at Merlin, who was standing there with a smile.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

Merlin smiled and said, "I'm different from the others. I usually live in Avalon, so I think I could go back with you?"

Luo Bai refused without hesitation: "Forget it, I don't want you, you lecher, going to our side. You should just go back to Avalon. Gilgamesh, Siduri, we're leaving. See you again sometime."

After bidding farewell to Gilgamesh and Siduri, Luo Bai opened a portal and led everyone inside, leaving Merlin standing there with a sullen face.

Through the teleportation channel, everyone quickly returned to their own villa.

Emerging from the portal, Ushiwakamaru and Anna looked around with curiosity, feeling the connection that was beginning to form between themselves and the Throne of Heroes in this world.

After processing the modern knowledge in his mind, Ushiwakamaru exclaimed in surprise, "The world a thousand years from now is truly amazing! Without magic or magical beasts, humans can move quickly across the land and even fly into the sky!"

Patting the cat that had come to his feet, Luo Bai said with a smile, "You can experience the advancements in technology later. Um, the original rooms in the villa are no longer enough. Please wait a moment while I expand the space."

"Expansion?"

Under everyone's curious gaze, Luo Bai's hands emitted a magical light, and then everyone felt a change in the spatial feel of the villa.

However, it only lasted for two seconds, and no one on the first floor felt anything special.

Soon, Luo Bai finished casting the spell and said with a smile, "Let's go upstairs and choose your new rooms."

Upon reaching the upper floor, the group discovered that the number of rooms had increased by almost a third, with several new rooms that were not originally there.

Artoria opened the door to the room next to hers in surprise, looking at the clean and real space inside, and asked curiously, "Was this also made with magic?"

Luo Bai nodded: "That's right, it's a magic spell used to expand the interior space. Before going to the Seventh Singularity, we combined and researched several spells from the base's library. Although the research is still insufficient, it can only expand the room by one-third, but it's enough. Ushiwakamaru, Anna, each choose a room. I'll have someone deliver the furniture later, and you can decorate it yourselves. We can purchase decorations that suit your taste later."

While Ushiwakamaru and Anna were touring the room with Artoria and the others, Luo Bai took out his phone and contacted Shinobu Kocho.

Today is Thursday, and everyone is still at work or school. In addition, Luo Bai did not mention his return in advance, so no one knew about it.

Shinobu Kocho, who was at the base, was overjoyed to receive Luo Bai's call.

"Is everything resolved? Are you alright?"

"Okay, don't worry, I'm not injured. Are you at the base? If you're not busy, come back first and buy me some more ingredients. I brought back two new companions, let's have a welcome party together tonight."

Then, it's simple.

They explained the identities of Ushiwakamaru and Anna.

Shinobu Kocho knows very well who Ushiwakamaru is; if he were given a different name, he would be Minamoto no Yoshitsune.

As for Anna, who is another form of Medusa, Shinobu Kocho is also quite curious about her.

Upon learning that Luo Bai had recruited two more Heroic Spirits, she was overjoyed: "I understand. I'll bring everyone back right away. Ilya and the others are here today too. Oh, by the way, Luo-kun, these past few days, various supernatural events have started to increase in different places, and even those Onmyoji and Exorcist families that were previously hidden are now surfacing. Today, a group of Onmyoji families came from Chiba and are chasing an evil spirit, causing quite a commotion. I was originally planning to go with Medea and the others to take a look, but now that you're back, could you please go and check it out? There happens to be Soubu High School on their route."

"kindness?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai frowned. "Is Tu Huojin really not going to handle this?"

Shinobu Kocho said helplessly, "Because the other family has some influence, Mr. Masato is now being entangled by them. It was originally agreed that as long as it wasn't discovered by the general public and was resolved smoothly, it would be fine. However, during the mission, one of their people was injured, and then things escalated. Now is not the time to fully expose it, and many of the personnel from the operation have been sent out to cover up the incident."

"It seems they haven't been around for a long time. These guys aren't very strong anymore, but they're quite good at causing trouble. I understand. Anyway, I was planning to go to the school anyway, so leave this to me."
