Chihiro: "gratutions, Waver. Looks like you've gained a new 'adorable' little sister."
Waver: "What are you talking about? I don't even know her."
---
["You wao succeed Lord Kayh?"]
[Waver, who had been feeling rather cheerful before, now fell into a ptive silence.]
[Reines didn't rush him; she simply observed him with a calm, expet gaze.]
[After a few moments, Waver's expression steadied as he spoke, "I have one dition."]
[Reines raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "And what would that be?"]
["I want to add 'The Sed' after El-Melloi."]
[Waver's voice was low and steady. "This title is still too heavy for me. Only someone like Lord Kayruly deserves it."]
---
Kayh: "Waver, you..."
Waver: "…"
What could he say? He didn't fully uand the depth of emotion he saw in his future self from the video.
After all, he hadn't yet gohrough all the experiehat would shape him into that person.
---
[Reines was still curious. "I thought you didn't particurly like my brother."]
["Personally, no, I didn't," Waver replied seriously. "But as a mage, I respected him deeply."]
["No matter what, there's someone I want to measure myself against."]
[The se shifts, showing Waver a sharp suit, accepting a red coat from a bodyguard before striding out of the room with purpose.]
[In that moment, his figure begins to evoke the powerful, anding presence of the King of querors.]
["Yes, even if the Holy Grail War has ended, life goes on, even if it's in a mundane way."]
---
[The se ges once again, repying the fateful moment where the King of querors, Iskandar, was bound by the s of Heaven, as Gilgamesh's golden sword of rebellion pierced his chest, ending his journey.]
[Gilgamesh seemed to exge a few words with Waver before departing, leaving Waver kneeling alone otlefield, his anguished cries eg across the empty space.]
["Because life tinues, we must keep struggling."]
[The bridge Waver k on transforms into an endless sea, and his figure gradually shifts into that of "El-Melloi II."]
["One day, I'll reach that boundless o you dreamed of seeing!"]
[Waver stretches his hand towards the horizon, as if trying to grasp something just out of reach.]
[On the distant waves, Iskandar's t form appears a phantom across the other side of the sea.]
[The video ends here.]
---
The King of querors: "Hahaha! My Master, it seems you couldn't bear to let me go after all."
Waver: "Don't get seal. How would I know anything about this kind of thing…"
He hadn't expected Iskandar to have such a profound impa him.
After all, they'd only known each other for two short days.
---
[The video shows that, with Reines' support, Waver takes ole of El-Melloi II, f a bond with the El-Melloi family, a e that endures over time.]
[In a parallel world, El-Melloi II bees a pseudo-servant, bonded with the heroic spirit Zhuge Liang. Simirly, Reines bees a vessel for another heroic spirit.]
[Question: Who is the heroic spirit that possesses Reines?]
Options:
A: Liu Bei
B: Huang Yueying
C: Pang Tong
D: Sima Yi
[Please answer within five minutes. Exceeding the time limit will be sidered as forfeiting the question.]
Tohsaka Rin: "What does this question even have to do with the video we just watched?"
[The system responds, expining that the video primarily served to introduce the retionship between Reines and Waver, fulfilling group member Kayh's curiosity about his successor's future.]
[The system sternly warns the group members, "Do not pester for further questions about El-Melloi II. Anyone who dares to persist will lose question privileges and be removed from the group chat."]
Everyone: "!!!"
Chihiro: "Kayh, you really know how to provoke the system."
Kayh: "I was only ed about my legacy. Is that s?"
Waver: "But… I didn't realize this system was so… se."
Chihiro: "Alright, let's focus on answering the question."
---
"Hey, kid, which option should I pick?"
Both Zhang Jiao and Red Hare turo Chihiro, waiting for an answer.
Chihiro expined, "This question revolves around the boween Reines and Waver."
"From the video, it's clear that Reines has firmly tied herself to Waver's fate."
"Now look at the options, they represent the lord, wife, friend, and rival of Zhuge Liang. Whie do you think fits her personality best?"
Zhang Jiao thought for a moment and said, "From the perspective of that bond, it should be either A or D."
"It shouldn't be A," Red Hare added. "That girl Reines doesn't match the character of Lord Xua all."
"So the answer is D?" Zhang Jiao asked.
Chihiro smiled and said, "The's go with D."
Some of the roup members, including Kayh, came to a simir clusion.
However, since he didn't know much about the Three Kingdoms history, he and Diarmuid each picked different answers.
For Waver's group, the alterimeline information made this question feel like a giveaway.
[The time for answering has ehe correswer will now be announced.]
[A picture appears on the s, showing Reines dressed in a traditional ese-style outfit.]
[She wears a long, elegant blue robe, a plush scarf around her shoulders, and a headpiece adorned with pheasahers.]
[The introdu below reads: Reines (Sima Yi).]
[The correswer is D.]
[gratutions to Waver, Chihiro, Kayh, the King of querors, Emiya Kiritsugu, General Tiangong, Red Hare, and The Sed for each earning 5 Saint Crystals.]
[Bluebeard chose not to ahis question.]
[The remaining group members who answered incorrectly will lose 1 Saint Quartz.]
Tohsaka Rin: "What? I thought it was B."
Waver: "Why did you think that?"
Tohsaka Rin: "Well, based on how things looked in the video, it seemed iable that you two would end up together iure."
Waver: "…"
Kayh: "I didn't expect that Reines would also bee a pseudo-servant in another world."
He made a decision, then and there, that when this Holy Grail War was over, he would personally bring Reines into the family and adopt her as his sister.
What, there's no way to go back?
What a joke. Now that he was aware of the dangers of the Holy Grail War, he'd never allow himself to fall like in the video.
To suffer defeat now would be an embarrassment to his legacy as a mage.
