Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

Although Bronya was unwilling to inherit the duties of the Guardians, she was still willing to leave a truly clean and efficient administrative team for the next ruler.

When the people from the lower city reached the upper city, everyone was surprised to find that everything had changed.

Amidst cheers and jubilation, people searched for old friends and relatives from the Upper East Side.

Some people are saddened and grieved upon learning of the passing of a deceased friend.

Some people were moved to tears upon seeing their living parents.

Cocolia and Bronya witnessed the myriad aspects of life. Cocolia remained silent, having orchestrated tragedy after tragedy. In this ancient city-state, her crimes were unforgivable.

But she had no intention of running away anymore.

She brought too much pain to this land, and now she must pay the necessary "price" for her actions.

“Next, all the hatred will be directed at me.”

“Bronya, once the chains that bind me as the source are severed, the rebirth of Belloborg… no, Ariello will be complete.”

"Ah."

Bronya remained silent. She already knew everything Cocolia had done, and she had no right to forgive Cocolia on behalf of all the people of Beloborg.

"Bronya, you made the right decision to give up the position of High Warden."

She continued speaking, and knowing her fate, Cocolia's words began to become much more fragmented.

“You are my adopted daughter, and others will always be prejudiced against you because of this relationship.”

“You made the right choice to leave Yalilo. I hope you can make up for some of my mistakes in the future.”

“You must get closer to those nameless guests, especially Shirou Emiya. That man is very capable, but he seems unlikely to refuse if you make a sincere request. But never try to morally blackmail him, Bronya. Keep your current enthusiasm and sincerity. I believe that if you go with them, they will never betray you.”

"When you get out, remember to adjust your mindset. You will no longer be the commander of the Silvermane Guard, but just an ordinary Bronya Rand... Bronya... When you have the opportunity to make choices in the future, never... seek shortcuts like I did, and don't let yourself regret it."

Her voice gradually became choked with sobs. Perhaps she was not quite qualified as a guardian, but her feelings for Bronya were real.

"I must strive to live a better life than I am now."

"Ah."

Cocolia was met with a barely audible groan.

And so, after the great purge of the nobles ended, dirt on Cocolia, the great guardian, began to be dug up one after another, and soon... a great deal of public resentment was directed at this guardian.

The storm of downfall erupted extremely quickly. In just two or three days, when Cocolia Rand was bound to the dock, and the temporary judge, temporarily elected by the public, read out all of Cocolia Rand's crimes and punishments, Cocolia Rand was pushed to the guillotine amidst the curses and cheers of countless people.

Under the watchful eyes of many, this once-mighty Great Guardian, who stood at the pinnacle of Beloborg, calmly faced his end.

The eighteenth generation of Rand perished.

The "Earthfire Grand Commander" of the Lower City's Rock Town, who was temporarily elected, and the current head of the Langdao family in the Upper City, the "New Minister of Internal Affairs," began to take over all affairs of the entire Belloberg.

On the eve of Rand's death, two women suddenly visited the hotel where the extraterrestrial visitors were staying.

"What are you doing?"

"Let me make it clear first, I'm not a casual person."

"...You've really put me through a lot. Fine, I'll only help you with Cocolia's matter this once."

……

"So, I really have died once?"

Cocolia sat in the makeshift clinic in Rocky Town, looking somewhat dazed. She touched her neck, recalling with an unnatural expression the slight pain and warm sensation when the decapitating blade severed her neck...

“You are indeed dead. Your body has been cremated and your ashes have drifted into the snowfields. The people don’t even want to leave your ashes in Beloborg.”

Hiluva made no attempt to hide her mockery of her old friend who had 'come back to life'.

"Your body was recreated for you by that young man Emiya, and your soul was also collected immediately and then put back into this container."

"In other words, people did indeed execute Cocolia Rand, and now you... should start over with a new name."

"A new name? Forget it, I'm not planning on changing my name. I might as well just move to a different place like Bronya."

Having already died once, Cocolia was not foolish enough to want to vent the people's anger again. This was not a fake death to escape; she had already given an explanation to the people and had also taken the opportunity to relinquish her duties as the Great Guardian.

"I want to become a true 'city builder'."

She looked at her best friend from her youth, smiled, and extended an invitation.

“Hilva, let’s go together, just like Alisa Rand did back then.”

"It might not be that simple..."

"What do you mean?"

"Emiya Shirou."

The blonde, strong-willed woman blushed slightly when that name was mentioned. She tilted her head back to hide her expression from her best friend.

"Someone paid a price for your resurrection."

"What price?"

"Well... you might need to prepare to be a grandmother."

Cocolia fell silent for a long time, then suddenly found herself both laughing and crying.

"I originally intended to entrust Bronya entirely to him, but now it's turned into a pure transaction?"

"It's not that straightforward. If Bronya (Noho) didn't have any feelings for him, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to go to that guy. And that guy didn't really refuse. Later, Bronya also had to leave this planet and go to space through them, the Nameless Guest. It's only natural for her to board the train as a family member, right?"

"Wait, how do you know such specific details?"

"...Because I was there that day too, and I also wanted to leave Belloberg to see what it was like. Besides, Emiya is a nice guy. He likes tinkering with machines, knows a bit of music, and is good at cooking...Although he's a bit of a sadist in private, he's still the best man I've ever met."

As Hiluva recounted someone's virtues with such familiarity, the blonde woman's expression turned ashen. She had woken up to find her daughter had been dumped, and even her best friend had been cheated on by that person...

Moreover, his own body was also rebuilt from scratch...

The good news is that I'm not exactly being excluded.

The bad news is, I woke up to find myself part of a family meal... or maybe even a freebie.

"Flame Spear, charge—!"

Fiddled with her newly activated weapon, Little Gray Hair seemed very excited. During the previous riot, in order to awaken the residents who were bewitched by the Star Core from being harmed and corrupted by the Rift Creatures, she resonated with the Great Guardians in the lances and activated the "Preservation" destiny.

Knowing this, Emiya wasn't particularly surprised. The power of destiny is extremely subjective; when you truly possess that will, as long as you have the opportunity to open that door, you can naturally step into it.

Whether fighting a powerful enemy or protecting others, the will to preserve has always been so pure and direct.

The previous path of destruction, in Little Gray's mind, was simply "the thrill of combat."

The current concept of data protection is like saying, "Try to hit me head-on first."

It can only be said that the simpler and more brutal the fate is, the easier it is for Little Gray Hair to handle.

Thinking about it this way, Mr. Emiya really found it hard to imagine the scene of this little gray-haired boy embarking on the path of knowledge. Although he was not as incompetent as Li Dazhentou in both academics and martial arts, there was indeed a huge chasm between the little gray-haired boy and the path of knowledge.

As for the hunt, it'll probably happen when Little 933 gets stabbed in March and there's an arrow falling from an imperial bow nearby.

Like some kind of joy, maybe it's finding the hat of some masked fool one day... Hmm, could it be that Old Sambo's mask will become a job-changing item?

Mr. Emiya couldn't help but think of this possibility with a somewhat malicious intent. This time, Old Sambo had really suffered a setback on his own studio's set. First, he was bullied by him, and then he made a fool of himself in Hanabi's place.

After learning that Emiya had taken some 'beautiful pictures' of Hanabi, Old Sambo vowed to buy a few from him. However, Old Sambo was currently short of money and would probably need to accumulate some credits over time.

"Damn it, A-Xing has a new destiny, and you, Emiya, have also played a significant role in the incident, while I'm just a bystander."

Looking at the flame spear wielded by her friend, Little March was filled with envy. Everyone was playing the same game. Why did Mr. Emiya become the guest of honor and savior of Beloberg? Why was her friend called a hero for protecting many residents after activating the flame spear? Even Danheng, who had been offline for a long time, was given flower baskets and fruit baskets by many young girls for repelling many Rift Monsters in the incident and actively providing a lot of negative material about the nobles.

"In March, it's very simple if you want to change your fate."

Emiya took a strange card out of his pocket and handed it to March 7th, saying seriously,

"Once you get something that can read the contents of this card, you can transform into this knight directly, and your fate will definitely switch to destruction."

"No, it looks like a beetle."

"This is one of my favorite suits."

Mr. Emiya curled his lip. It was surprising that the Heisei elder brother's suit was being disliked. However, to be fair, the Heisei elder brother's suit was indeed quite risky, as it naturally had the potential to go berserk and destroy everything. Not everyone could evolve to the ultimate sublimation and create a red-eyed state like Yusuke Godai.

"Now that the Star Core issue is resolved, shouldn't we leave Belloberg?"

On March 7th, she inquired about the upcoming arrangements. She was a restless person. Belleburg was now in the process of a comprehensive and great revival. Everyone was enthusiastically preparing for the revival. The social structure was being reorganized, a large number of employees were being rotated, and previously closed units were being reopened. However, March 7th couldn't get involved in any of these things. Although she could help out, she really had no interest in doing odd jobs.

"You can leave, but there's no rush. In March, would you like to come somewhere with me first?"

"Where?"

"Mr. Walter's hometown."

"Hey!"

Little March's pretty eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed in disbelief. Ah Xing seemed to realize that there was some juicy gossip to be had, so he immediately put down his Flame Spear and rushed over to join in.

“A spacetime beacon I sent out earlier has locked onto a spacetime region where Mr. Walter’s hometown is located.”

"Does Uncle Yang know?"

“I didn’t tell him that the time period over there is quite far from his hometown.”

"What do you mean?"

"The world 50,000 years before Lao Yang was born."

Fifty thousand years ago? !

March 7th and Ah Xing both looked somewhat taken aback, while Emiya smiled.

"Old Yang's world timeline can be roughly divided into two civilizations, one preceding the other. Both civilizations underwent a cataclysmic trial called 'Collapse,' which can be seen as the emergence of star cores in both worlds. Moreover, these star cores selected a large number of people like Cleo and granted them power. These people, like Cleo, wanted to destroy everything."

"The post-civilization that Lao Yang belonged to ultimately defeated the star core, while the pre-civilization... unfortunately, they ultimately failed to overcome the final trial."

"I understand now that you mention Star Core! Yalilo didn't get a chance to show off this time, so I'm determined to get my revenge in a new place."

"I also need to go!"

How could the little star spirit give up such an interesting thing? Her light golden eyes revealed the meaning of "If you don't take me, I'll cause trouble." Of course, Emiya would not refuse this star spirit. When going to find Alicia, it would be best to bring a group of beautiful girls to maximize her favorability first.

Now he has March 7, a pink-haired girl, and Little Star Core Spirit, a cosmic succubus, plus Sylvanas, Cocolia, Bronya, Linco, Pella, Seele... especially Little March, who is as lively, energetic, pink-haired, ice-attribute, and archer as Alicia. All the buffs are stacked up. It would feel unreasonable not to chop off a chicken head and burn yellow paper to become sworn brothers on the spot.

I'll stick to Alicia with March 7th, then stick to March 7th again, and eventually I can pull Alicia over to stick to me too. If I can get Alicia, the real Queen of the Ninjas, under control, then I've already taken care of half of the remaining characters like Sakura, Mebius, Velvi, and Eden.

After Bronya brought Hilva along to play poker that night, Mr. Emiya began to realize that he could open his mind a bit. The Mi family are all yuri sweethearts, so if you win one over, the other one can be easily swayed and dragged into it. The Belt and Road Initiative is a traditional skill that you can't miss.

"In that timeline, Eden has already joined the Moth of Flames, which means Himiko is dead. What a pity... If I had contacted Alicia before the Australian incident, I would have had three Himekos... If I had put them in front of Kiana, it would have been a triple critical hit, and I might even have been able to critically hit Afu."

"No, the core of the Herrscher of Reason can devour the souls of 300,000 people. Is it possible that the Plague Gem also contains a Himiko?"

"This has potential!"

"Eden, Eden, please help me check out this outfit! I'm meeting my new friends today, and I want to greet them in my most perfect form."

In a room of a five-star hotel, Alicia was turning around in front of the mirror, examining her outfit for the day.

Eden, as always, chuckled as she watched her best friend, occasionally offering a comment in agreement.

Sitting next to Eden, the green-haired woman in a white lab coat frowned slightly, looking somewhat impatient.

"Alicia, you've already changed five outfits, stop messing around."

"A lovely girl should always present her most perfect self on the first meeting, Mebius."

"Are you thinking about men, Alicia?"

"Perhaps."

Alicia smiled and watched Möbius, then quickly ran to his side with small, quick steps, and spoke again.

"If a man appears who is handsome, has outstanding cooking skills, and can bring you more possibilities, I don't believe you, Mebius, wouldn't be uninterested."
