Fate/Magus Path

62 New Stage

Three months later.

Fuyuki City Airport.

It was a perfect day for flying.

In the back row of the waiting room, a young man was dozing off next to the window. There was still some time before the flight to London, so he closed his eyes to rest.

Thanks to the miracle of the Holy Grail, all the buildings destroyed during the war were restored, including his house, which had been wrecked by a gas explosion. Now, he had returned it to the group leader.

Although the events of those days had caused quite a commotion, fortunately, they didn't have too much of an impact. The rift between the mystical and the real world was mended with the help of the Holy Grail.

Everyone who came back to life that night treated the experience like a nightmare, and the magi kept quiet about it.

After resolving all the issues, he had packed his important belongings, preparing to leave the city that could barely be considered his home.

It was hard not to feel a little reluctant to leave this place where he had lived for so many years.

"Roy!"

While Roy was lost in thought, a lively voice full of energy reached his ears. Turning his head, he saw the energetic girl, Fujimura Taiga, who had come to see him off.

Seeing who it was, Roy stood up with a smile and looked at Taiga, who was running toward him. "Oh, it's Taiga. Did you come to see me off?"

"Hehe, that's right! I even brought you a farewell gift." The girl said with a grin as she pulled a small black box from her pocket and handed it to him.

"Is this... sunglasses?"

Roy weighed the box in his hand and, glancing at the special design, roughly guessed what was inside.

"That's right! I bought these new sunglasses from Tokyo. They suit you perfectly, Roy! Try them on."

"Thank you, Taiga. But... these seem pretty fancy. Are you sure your allowance is enough?"

Opening the box, he saw a pair of stylish, round sunglasses, just as Taiga had said.

From the packaging and design, it was clearly a luxury item, no doubt expensive.

"They weren't that pricey, just two months of allowance! I've been saving up."

"Well, that's..."

"Roy."

As they continued chatting, a powerful yet aged voice suddenly came from the entrance.

"Grandfather."

"Boss."

Both of them stopped talking and turned to look at Fujimura, the group leader, who appeared at the doorway.

"Yes, it's me." The elderly leader walked toward them, leaning on his cane.

"Ah, so you really are leaving. Now that the organization is at a crucial point in its growth and transition, it's hard to see someone as young and capable as you go." He sighed, looking at Roy.

"But, perhaps it's for the best. Young people need to go out and experience the world. It makes a big difference. Besides... you've got too many secrets on you. There are things about you that even I, an old man, can't see through."

"I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused, Boss." Roy responded with a bitter smile. "But with so many capable assistants under your command, and Taiga, your excellent heir, I believe that even without me, the Fujimura Group will have a bright future."
