September 10th, the sky is clear.

Kyoto, Longquan Temple Cemetery.

This cemetery in a residential area is not very close to the Hirano family, but on the street next to the cemetery, there are neatly planted rows of sturdy cherry trees.

If spring comes, the cherry-colored petals will scatter in the cemetery with the wind.

Takataro Hirano said that Mr. Hirano likes cherry blossoms very much. He used to go to enjoy cherry blossoms with his wife Chisa Yamakawa every spring, but since Chisa Yamakawa passed away, Mr. Hirano seems to have never been to enjoy cherry blossoms alone again.

After death, he was buried with his wife in a place with cherry blossoms. This was Shinnosuke Hirano's wish during his lifetime.

"Emiya-kun, thank you for being with Barsaka for always being with him at the last moment of his father's life."

Standing outside the cemetery, Takataro Hirano, dressed in black, took his family to bow deeply to Emiya.

“This is what it should be.”

Emiya quickly stepped forward and pulled Hirano Takataro up.

Takataro Hirano glanced at Barsaka who was still staying in front of Mr. Hirano's grave and asked softly: "You and Barsaka are leaving today, right?"

"Um."

Emiya also looked at Barcelona.

In Barcelona's hands, there were still bandages wrapped around them.

Looking back on that rainy night, it was the first time that Emiya saw with his own eyes that Barcelona revealed his feelings.

Mixed with rain, the flowing downstream is probably not only blood, but also tears.

"Every year from now on, I will bring Barsaka back to visit Mr. Hirano."

“…”

Takataro Hirano was silent for a moment before laughing easily.

"That's great. I think my father would be very happy to see Barcelona."

At 10 a.m., the memorial service ends.

While watching the Hirano family, Emiya took Barcelona to rush back towards Gifu.

Along the way, Emiya and Barsaka were very silent.

Barsaka, sitting in the back seat, was still looking at the city scenery passing by outside the window. The emotions mixed in his eyes seemed to tell others that he was saying his final farewell to this place.

The dead are gone, and the living still need to move forward.

Back to the deep mountains of Gifu.

Emiya soon discovered that the crew's location was different from usual.

In a clearing before entering the village.

Usually, there are two large trucks used by the crew to park their vehicles, and there is also a symbol like a floating tower printed on the carriage.

Ueda recognizes this symbol.

Future fantasy company logo.

Moreover, even if Kayaba Akihiko never mentioned it to Emiya, Emiya knew it.

This is Ain Grandet.

"Have you arrived?"

Emiya murmured to himself.

After parking the car, I looked around the truck carefully before stopping and turned to look at Barcelona behind me.

"Let's go, Barsaka, go and meet them."

"Um."

Unlike before, although Barsaka still repeated a syllable response, Emiya always felt that there were very different changes from usual.

The two walked towards the village in silence.

Just as we were about to enter the entrance of the village, two figures came from the mountain road next to us.

When he saw Emiya, the young man with blue curly hair was slightly stunned.

It took him a long time to smile.

"I'm back, Umiya."

"Um."

Emiya nodded, as a response.

He glanced at the young woman with purple hair standing next to Shinji Maki and wearing glasses.

"Who is this?"

"Misa Nakano."

Shinji Maki knew what Emiya had experienced these days, and thought that Emiya was in a bad mood, so he briefly introduced Misa Nakano and also introduced Misa Nakano to Misa Nakano.

Emiya looked at another chosen man who came to his door, and the haze in his heart subsided a little.

"Ms. Nakano, the position of assistant supervisor is still open. If you want, I can give you a temporary position. Whether you become a regular depends on your work performance today."

"I do, thank you for the supervisor of the Ueda."

Misa Nakano agreed without any hesitation.

No outsider like her will supervise the team as soon as he enters the crew.

At this time, she just thought it was the role played by Shinji Maki, and she couldn't help but feel more grateful to him.

The impression left by the first feeling in the past has almost disappeared at this moment.

"If you don't know anything in the future, you can ask Sakura Maki who is also an assistant supervisor, and Shinji Maki who is currently an deputy supervisor."

"OK."

Emiya smiled slightly.

Among their crew, the supervision team is not actually a very important group.

Because most of the work is handled by Sakamoto, Uncle Tanaka, and Shunsuke Kojima, so there is no need for the supervision team to worry about anything.

The task that Emiya gave to the supervision team in the past was to avoid causing trouble.

As for now, with the position of deputy supervisor, and the fact that Sakura Maki and Rin Tosaka are becoming more and more proficient in work, the power of the supervision team can be gradually recovered.

Shinji Maki didn't think much about it and quietly gave Emiya a thumbs up.

Misa Nakano has been here for two days, and he doesn't know how to arrange it yet.

As a result, as soon as Emiya came back, he solved this big problem.

Good brother, I've read you right.

Emiya naturally noticed Shinji Maki's small movements, but showed a deep smile as a response, which made Shinji who watched this scene immediately confused.

What a good guy, have you gotten together with Sister R?

Although Medusa and Shinji Maki in the original work do have a very deep connection, Emiya never expected that the day when he found Medusa's chosen man would be because Shinji in this world.

Sure enough, this world is still a little bit wonderful.

Emiya took Barsaka and walked home while thinking about his home, and asked Shinji: "By the way, I saw the two cars at the door. When did the people sent by Fantasy arrive?"

"It's the day before yesterday, it's two o'clock in the afternoon."

Shinji Maki had a very similar impression of this group of people. The young man with blonde hair inside always looked arrogant, making people inexplicably feel that he must have experienced less severe beatings from society.

However, Shinji Maki still answered patiently about Emiya's question.

"After they came to the crew the day before yesterday, we knew that this was your arrangement, so we didn't say much, just arranged accommodation for them and waited for your next arrangement. However, it seemed that yesterday, they said they wanted to go to the point and install the receiver, so they ran into the deep mountains for a day, and did not come down from the mountain until after nine o'clock in the evening."

Speaking of this, Shinji Maki stopped and turned his head to look at Emiya: "This group of people is mysterious, and some people even say something like "all this is the choice of the Stone of Destiny". Emiya, there is really no problem with the group of people you chose? And what is they going to the crew for? How should they arrange them?"

As a deputy supervisor, Shinji Maki is now used to his work, so he must ask Emiya for some things.

But at this moment, Emiya, who was usually very neat in work, suddenly kept her in a silence.

"If you ask me to say it, I can't explain it clearly, so I can only tell you that they are here to do the special effects. You will understand the specific one tomorrow."

"ha?"

———

The news that Emiya returned to the crew soon spread throughout the crew.

Although many crew members don’t know what happened, which delayed the supervision of the usual conscientious supervision for so long, they saw that many people in the crew who were very close to the supervisor went to visit him, and they realized that things were not simple.

At this time, in the bedroom of Emiya.

Looking at the group of people who filled his small bedroom, Emiya couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I really have nothing to do, and you don't have to worry about me. Mr. Hirano's death will hit Barcelona the biggest blow, so I hope that you can stay at Barcelona better in the future. It is best to let him find a warmth of home in the crew and take good care of Barcelona. This is my promise to Mr. Hirano."
