Bab 117: Chapter 116 - Aftermath
A day after the Mahora Festival ended, in the deepest part of the library island.
Shirou, Rin, Negi, Konoka, Asuna and Setsuna walked into the inner part of the library island to fulfill the invitation from Albiero Imma who invited them right after the Mahora Festival has end.
It's just that there is one small problem that keeps all of them from entering Albiero's residence. There is an adult Wyvern guarding the large gate leading to Albiero's residence.
"Shi-Shirou-Nii there is dragon guarding the gate," Negi said trembling. "H-how we can go inside right now."
"Negi, you're wrong. That giant lizard is not a dragon, but a wyvern," Rin said. "A large, winged lizard that doesn't deserve to be called a dragon."
"Now how we can get inside? If that wyvern guarding the door!" Konoka said.
"We just need to fight it!" Asuna said. "Easy isn't it!"
"Shirou-sama, do we need to fight that lizard?" Asked Setsuna who was ready to pull out the sword from its sheath.
"Seathed your sword Setsuna," Shirou said. "We don't need to fight that wyvern, Albiero gave me something to make the wyverns didn't attack us."
Shirou can defeat the wyvern easily but because he didn't want to hurt Albiero's pet. Shirou the took out the invitation paper Albiero gave him and showed it to the Wyverns.
The Wyvern finally stepped aside and made way for Shirou and the others, after Shirou showed the invitation paper.
They walked into the large gate which opened automaticly and walking down the long staircase that led to the underground.
"Using the Wyverns as guard, your father's friend Albiero Imma is really insane," Rin said. "I almost used a high-level magic to slaughter that Wyvern."
"He is indeed a strange and nosy person," Shirou said. "Evangeline said that Albiero Imma aka Colonel Sanders who I fought at Mahora Budokai was a very annoying person, I don't think those words are wrong at all."
"Shirou-Nii, what do you think the Colonel wanted to talk about to the point that he tell us to come to his residence, which is in the deepest part of the library island like this?" Asked Negi.
"Maybe he want to talk about our father Nagi Springfield," Replied Shirou. "I can't think of anything other than that."

In the deepest part of the library island, there is a floating island surrounded by a large waterfall and many giant trees. The sunlight entering through the giant trees made the place not like in underground and there was a large bridge that connected the floating island to the stairs that led to the upper ground. On top of the island was a round tower on top of which was a glass dome.
"This is really a beautiful place," Konoka said.
"I didn't expect there is a place like this in the deepest part of the library island!" Asuna said.
"This building really looks like Zelterch's observatory," Rin said "He really like a Zelretch clone in hobbies and traits."
"Albiero is on the highest floor of the building along with Evangeline," Shirou said. "It seems the two of them are already waiting for us."
The six of them walked up to the highest floor of the observatory where Albiero lived. and on a floating balcony that led to a giant waterfall, they were all greeted by Evangeline and Albiero.
"Welcome to my tea party," Albiero said.
"You six are late!" Evangeline said. "It must be because of the closing party on the Emiya residence that was held until dawn, you all smell like onions."
"Thank you for today's invitation," Konoka, Setsuna, Asuna, and Negi said as they bowed their bodies.
"Albiero-san, thank's for the invitation," Shirou and Rin said.
"Emiya-san sorry but don't call me Albiero." Albiero put on a very serious face when he said that, like he hate his real name. "Call me Colonel Xanders!"
"Yup he really is Zelretch's student," Rin said. "The level their stupidity is the same."
"If Zelretch sees this he will definitely feel very proud," Shirou said. "like teachers like student."
"Bah, what kind of name is that Al!" Evangeline said. "Do you want to be the mascot of a fast food restaurant!"
Albiero turned his body as he deliberately didn't want to respond to Evangeline's words.
"Oi Al! Do you hear me!" Shouted Evangeline.
Feeling annoyed that Albiero did not want to respond to her words, Eva finally tried calling Albiero by a nickname she liked.
"Oi Colonel!" Eva said.
"What's up, kitty?" Albiero said.
"Don't call me by that name!" Shouted Evangeline, squeezing Albiero's coat and shaking his body.
'He really likes to prank Eva, apparently,' said Shirou, Rin, Negi, Asuna, Setsuna, and Konoka.
After Albiero was satisfied to irritate Evangeline, the tea party finally began.
"It's delicious tea," Rin said. "Isn't this red tea made from plums?"
"Ah, Rin-Nee is right," Negi said. "The red tea from plum is really delicious, it feels like the smell of plums it's so sweet and refreshing."
"I have many other delicious teas," Albiero said. "Later I will give it to Emiya-san."
"Thank you, Albiero-san," Shirou said. "I would love to receive it."
"Ah, Albiero-san why don't you just give it to me?" Asked Negi.
"If you have that question, you already know the answer is no, Negi-kun," Albiero said.
"Eh, what do you mean Albiero-san," said Negi.
" Aniki your tea is delicious," Chamo said who appeared from Negi's shirt pocket. "But the tea your made tastes more like a medicine so is not that good to enjoy."
"Ah, I see," Negi said with a flushed face. He had to admit that his brother's tea was much better than what he made himself. "But how did Albiero-san know about my tea?"
"I told him, boy," Evangeline said. "Shirou's tea is thousands times tastier than yours! I don't know why whatever kind of tea you made tastes like medicine!"
"Uuuh it's all because Nekane-Nee-san only taught me how to make herbal tea," Negi said. "That's why any tea I make tastes like medicinal tea!"
"Nekane-san seems to be teaching you too hard, Negi," Shirou said. "To the extent that you can't make any other kind of tea."
"Well, not really," said Negi. "It's just that I pay too much attention to the way Onee-chan makes tea, that's why other way to made a tea can't enter my brain because the way to made a tea that I've learned from Nekane Onee-chan is too ingrained in my head."
"Instead of going on and on about making tea there's something I want to ask you brat," Evangeline said. "Boya, what you can learn from yesterday event?"
"There are many things I learn from yesterday's events," Negi said. "And Chao's actions made me realize that deep despair can make people justify any means to achieve what they want."
"Chao is trying to change her timeline by going to the past," Evangeline said. "But to change that future she's forced to do a things that she doesn't want to do, can you imagine the burden she has to bear?"
"I can't imagine it, Master," Negivsaid. "Because I don't know what kind of truble she face in her era to the point forced her to do something so bad, if only she'd been more open with me or Shirou-Nii maybe things would have been different. "
"Maybe so, but because Chao has chose to endure her trouble all alone," Evangeline said "We can't force her our way."
"What little girl Chao Ling Shen want to do is really bad," Albiero said. "Luckily Emiya-san managed to beat her, but what surprised me was when Emiya-san used the Reality Marble. Right now, neither in Mundus Magicus nor in Mundus Vetus, can use the Reality Marble apart from Emiya-san. "
"In important times you just watch me and don't help!" Shirou said who felt annoyed. "Aren't you not ashamed by yourself!"
"I honestly feel a little embarrassed," Albiero said. "But because I know you have the strength to beat that little girl, that's why I chose to watch you."
Asuna, Konoka, and Negi were once again confused. They really wanted to know what is Reality Marble really was.
"Um, Shirou-Nii what exactly is Reality Marble?" Asked Negi who couldn't help but be curious.
"Hmm, how should I explain it," Shirou said. " I'm not good at explaining thing. Rin can you please explain to Negi what Reality Marble is?"
"Sigh, Shirou, you just bother me," Rin said. "You see, the Negi Reality Marble is a projection from the world within one's spirit to the real world based on the World Egg Theory in other words, manifesting another dimension that resides in one's own spirit into the real world, and in the case of his Shirou Reality Marble it is called Unlimited Blade Work or Mugen no Kensei. Shirou's place to forge and store all the weapons he made and imitated."
"Shi-Shirou-Nii, is what Rin-san said true?" Asked Negi. "You can made your own dimension?"
"Something like that," replied Shirou. "Although I will be very tired if I use Unlimited Blade Works for a long time."
"It's amazing I didn't know that Shirou-kun could use such an overpowering technique!" Konoka said.
"That technique is overpower Konoka-Oujou-Sama's," Setsuna said. "But the energy required to use it is also very taxing, so it's not a technique that can be used freely."
"I don't even understand what you guys are talking about!" Asuna said whose head was emitting smoke. "Your talk is too complicated! My brain can't process it!"
"Sigh suna's brain spec is low as usual," Konoka said.
"That's right, her brain can't be used to think of complicated things!" Rin said.
"I can't deny it, Asuna-san is indeed one of the dumbest people in class," Setsuna said. "Even though Makie-san is much dumber than her, though."
"I feel sorry for Asuna-san," Negi said. "Her brain really need an upgrade!"
"I'm not going to comment on this," Shirou said.
"Kagurazaka Asuna is so stupid that her head is emitting smoke when she thinking too much," Evangeline said. "I don't know if I want to feel sorry for her or want laugh at her."
Bcause her brain was too hot, Asuna finally passed out. She really shouldn't think too hard.

"Emiya-san, Negi-san, the reason you guys must already know the reason I called you two here," said Albiero.
"Is it about our father Nagi Springfield, right?" Asked Shirou.
"You're correct," Replied Albiero. "The thing I want to tell you two is about Nagi, who is still alive."
Negi, Asuna, Setsuna and Konoka looked shocked after hear Albiero's words. The things he said were shocking indeed.
But not with Shirou and Rin, both of them already heard a surprising things too much.
"A-Albiero-san are sure about that !?" negi was shocked by what he heard, he knew that his father was still alive, but did not expect that someone else would say this to him.
Albiero took out a pactio card from his coat and showed it to Negi.
"This my pactio card with Thousand Master card, this card is still alive and that is proof that Nagi is still safe," Albiero said." If he is dead this card will also die, and if you think I did pactio with kisses you are wrong. We do a blood contract! "
Asuna and Konoka who thought that Albiero and Nagi were kissing, felt ashamed by what they been thinking and because of that their face became so red.
"Thank God, then," Negi said. "Right now, we just need to find where he is, right Shirou-Nii?"
"You're right, Negi," Shirou said. "As we planned for this summer vacation we will go to Mundus Magicus to find where our father is!"
Shirou smiled at Negi, Negi didn't know that if he wanted to meet Nagi, Shirou can simply took out a copy of Nagi from the forbidden scroll. But Shirou felt that now was not the right time, because Shirou was afraid that Albiero would reclaim Nagi's copy from him. Because of that he decided to bring out Nagi in Eva Villa later before they go to the Mundus Magicus.
The tea party continues with the arrival of Kasumi, Chisame, Chachamaru, Yue, Nodoka, Haruna, Gu Fei, Kaede and Kotaro who are also invited by Albiero. Of course, their arrival made the tea party even more chaotic and the party had to be stopped sooner.
