Inside the mental space, when Alvin saw the system notifications continuously appearing, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
With this, only the final CG remained before completing the entire collection.
He just didn't know where this last CG would appear.
Thinking about this, he raised his head and looked forward.
The pitch black and deep Sea of Chaos surged like ocean tides into the mental space.
As more and more of the chaotic tide gathered together, an enormous figure gradually appeared within his field of vision.
Tiamat's true body.
"Mother, you'll leave this place with me now, right?"
Alvin's fingertips touched Tiamat's warm skin as she curled up within the boy's embrace.
The dragon horns on her head occasionally brushed against his chin, while a faint blush still lingered on her delicate pale face.
Vaguely, it seemed that a special kind of magical power existed within Tiamat's Saint Graph.
That was the White Dragon's magical energy that had entered her Saint Graph earlier through a special method of magical energy exchange.
Tiamat obediently nodded, like a well behaved girlfriend.
Even though not long ago this "girlfriend" had alarmed everyone in Chaldea.
But now everyone should probably feel relieved.
After all, Tiamat's true body had returned to the Imaginary Number Space.
In this empty world, even if she continuously generated the Sea of Chaos it wouldn't matter.
There were no living beings here anyway.
'I wonder if they'll be shocked when they see Mama Tiamat...'
As he thought, Alvin's gaze slowly moved downward.
Looking at the nearly flawless and graceful body before him, the nerves that had been tense until now finally relaxed completely.
"Oh right, wait a moment!"
Just as he was about to leave the mental space, Alvin seemed to remember something and quickly called out to her.
"Aaa?"
Tiamat tilted her head in confusion.
"Your clothes..."
The latter pointed at what Tiamat was wearing and cautiously suggested, "Maybe you should change into something else...?"
After all, he really didn't want anyone else to see her in such a revealing state.
Only then did Tiamat realize something.
The tips of her ears grew slightly warm, and she instinctively covered her chest, though the gesture only added a different kind of allure.
The Sea of Chaos gathered around her and quickly condensed into a white dress.
Afterward, Tiamat's body gradually shrank until she was only about half of Alvin's height.
She leaned back slightly, then charged forward like a small dragon and plunged straight into Alvin's arms, then tilted her head up, looking at him expectantly, stretching out both hands.
"Hold me."
That's not the kind of "holding" we should be talking about, Mother.
The power of censorship might descend and punish us...
Looking at her like that, Alvin felt his heart surge, blood rushing straight to his head.
He almost couldn't resist going for another round.
After all, the word "hold" also carried another rather tempting meaning.
Alvin easily lifted Tiamat with both hands, then placed her on his shoulders.
After that, he turned his head and took one last look at the massive body that had now become nothing more than an empty shell.
"Let's go. They're probably getting impatient."
Then again, by the time Tiamat's true body disappeared, they had probably already felt relieved.
It was just a pity that the Greater Grail had been destroyed.
The Holy Grail War likely wouldn't last much longer before it came to an end.
Alvin sighed softly in regret.
Looking back at the Sea of Chaos that was gradually calming down, he turned and stepped out of the mental space.
It was about time to clean up the aftermath.
Boom!
Just as that thought crossed his mind, the moment he stepped out of the mental space, he suddenly heard a deafening explosion in the distance.
Alvin froze for a moment and tilted his head.
Tiamat on his shoulder also tilted her head, letting out a puzzled "Aaa?" on his behalf.
...What was going on?
Kama had been defeated, and Tiamat's true body had returned to the Imaginary Number Space.
So why was there still such a huge commotion outside?
His first reaction at that moment was simple.
'Who am I, where am I, and what on earth just happened here?'
Then, when Alvin looked up toward the source of the disturbance, his fingertips trembled slightly.
At this moment, Kama's temple had already completely vanished.
And when Alvin left the mental space while holding the humanoid Tiamat in his arms, an epic scale melee was unfolding above the Tohsaka residence.
The shadows beneath Morgan's feet continuously collided in midair with Sajyou Manaka's magical energy.
The aftershocks of Divine Age magecraft bombarding each other directly blasted the roof off the Tohsaka house.
As the Ruler of this Holy Grail War, Morgan could have easily used the power of Command Spells to restrain a Servant.
However, Sajyou Manaka was not a Servant.
That said... why had they suddenly started fighting among themselves?
"Alvin, you finally came out!"
Merlin hurried over from a distance.
When he saw Alvin, he seemed to visibly relax.
"What's going on? Why are Manaka and my sister fighting?"
Alvin frowned.
Merlin first glanced somewhat cautiously at the shorter version of Tiamat sitting on Alvin's shoulder, then briefly explained what had just happened.
By the time he finished, the expression on Alvin's face had become increasingly subtle.
So after all that... this was actually the doing of "Humanity's Evil" Fujimaru Ritsuka?
That said, even that girl herself probably hadn't expected that a short sentence from her would evolve into this situation.
They had only just sent Tiamat's true body back to the Imaginary Number Space, and their own side had already started internal conflict.
Tiamat, who had been quietly watching the drama, curiously poked Alvin's stiff face.
"Aaaaaa? (Are human mating rituals always this special?)"
Alvin finally snapped out of it, and looked up at the two figures clashing beneath the sky, falling into deep thought.
He had just resolved Tiamat's issue, and now a new problem had arrived immediately afterward.
The question was... in this situation, how was he supposed to stop them?
Where were the people from Chaldea?
Stop watching the drama and come help!
Alvin instinctively looked toward the nearby group.
Fujimaru Ritsuka was wearing an awkward but polite apologetic smile, while Mash instinctively stepped half a step backward when she noticed Alvin's gaze.
"Lord White Dragon... this is your family matter. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to interfere..."
Family matter?
If they keep fighting like this, they might create another Singularity for you!
Alvin complained internally.
After all, both Morgan and Manaka were magi proficient in Divine Age magecraft... and Divine Age magecraft meant limitless possibilities.
Thinking about it, the young man took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Alright... since things had come to this, he would just have to face it head on.
...
"Mmm..."
Matou Sakura's eyelashes trembled lightly in Tohsaka Rin's arms as she slowly opened her eyes.
The dark pupils that had once been clouded now regained their usual shine.
Seeing that, Rin was pleasantly surprised.
"Sakura, you're awake?!"
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
She quickly asked as Sakura gently shook her head.
Looking up at the Divine Age magecraft intertwining in the sky and Alvin who had just flown upward, she murmured softly,
"Onee-san... if this continues, Senpai will become their person."
"Doesn't that bother you?"
She looked at Rin, her voice returning to its usual gentle softness.
Hearing her words, Tohsaka Rin's hand unconsciously clenched.
Her long hair fluttered wildly in the turbulence of magical energy filling the air.
"But a Divine Age magecraft battle at this level... we can't interfere at all."
"Actually, it's not completely impossible."
Sakura gently held Rin's wrist.
At this moment, there was a faint gentleness in her voice.
"Use a Command Spell, Onee-san."
"The Holy Grail War hasn't ended yet. You're still his Master, aren't you?"
Although the Greater Grail had been destroyed, Servants could still maintain their bodies in the present world for some time using their own magical energy.
If she used a Command Spell... she could easily reverse the current situation.
Rin lowered her head and looked at the back of her hand.
The crimson, beautiful Command Spells writhed like living things under the glow of the streetlights, as if urging her to use them as soon as possible.
...
On the other side, high in the sky.
"Alvin, it seems you successfully stopped Goddess Tiamat."
Morgan looked toward the boy in the sky with affectionate eyes and a faint smile. "But this is a matter between Miss Sajyou and myself... it would be better if you didn't interfere."
"Don't worry. I'll act with restraint and won't cause any trouble for you."
"After all, I am the Ruler of this Holy Grail War."
Sajyou Manaka's lips curved slightly in a cold smile.
"Attacking a Master in the Holy Grail War without reason... your behavior right now doesn't seem very fitting for a Ruler either, Princess Morgan."
"You treat different people with different attitudes.
At least when it comes to you, there's no need for me to be polite."
After saying that, Morgan turned her head and looked at Alvin.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness. "Alvin, once I deal with this shameless woman, we can slowly catch up."
"The man who secretly seduced his younger sister behind King Arthur's back..." Manaka sneered.
"Who exactly is the shameless one here, Princess Morgan?"
"The matter between Lily and me was settled long ago. It's not your place as an outsider to comment on it."
Morgan pressed down on her staff as magical energy continuously gathered at its tip.
"The so-called Root is merely something that anyone could approach during the Age of Gods... Miss Sajyou, next I'll show you what true British magecraft looks like."
'This is bad. Big Sister is getting serious...'
Alvin felt a storm raging inside his mind.
Looking toward Sajyou Manaka, he saw equally terrifying magical energy beginning to surge from her as well.
Just as he was about to force himself to step in and stop them, he suddenly felt something strange happening to his body.
Immediately afterward, the magical energy inside Alvin began to boil, and his body resonated forcefully with the Command Spell contract.
"Wait... this feeling is—"
The next moment, accompanied by a voice that could not be resisted, making the tense battlefield suddenly fall silent.
Because in the very next instant, they all heard an irresistible voice echo in their ears.
"Return to my side, Alvin!"
For the first time, the composure in Sajyou Manaka's eyes disappeared.
Watching Alvin's body gradually turning into spirit particles, her gaze slowly became blank.
Someone had actually taken him away right in front of her...?
Morgan's expression darkened as she stared at the fading figure.
At this moment, a trace of danger and amusement appeared in her voice.
"...A Command Spell?"
