The current Asagami Fujino is using her mystic eyes as a joke, showing them to so many ordinary people. This completely goes against the basic rules of mystery, meaning that the current Asagami Fujino shouldn't still have mystic eyes with this much power. At the very least, they should be weakened.
That's right, the power that Asagami Fujino is showing with her mystic eyes right now is not at all weaker than the power shown in the original movie version.
Even though she's just surrounded by a crowd, Asagami Fujino can easily twist apart a huge block of iron, and she can twist it back and forth. There are also many other things around that she's using for her show...
The power that Asagami Fujino's twisting mystic eyes are showing is just too strange.
And Asagami Fujino herself is also strange.
The current Asagami Fujino doesn't have any of the bad feeling that she should have. She really seems like a perfect rich girl. Adding to that her shrine maiden outfit, if Tia hadn't seen with her own eyes that she had purple hair, that her eyes were glowing, and that the huge iron block in front of her and other things were twisted, Tia wouldn't even have recognized her.
Even from far away, Tia can see the elegant and calm rich girl aura that Asagami Fujino has.
Is this really Asagami Fujino, who has always suffered from painlessness and feels no connection to being alive?
She's only changed to this state in such a short time.
Tia feels a time slip again. It's like since the evil went away, everyone has seemed like they've always been this way, from a long time ago.
Ryougi Shiki is like that, and the current Asagami Fujino is too.
It feels like... the disappearance of the evil is actually some kind of switch for this Alternate World. Maybe this world has always been like this, but before, it was forcibly twisted back by the evil brought by Angra Mainyu. But now that Tia has destroyed Angra Mainyu, she's instead made the world go back to its original state.
Could it be that Angra Mainyu was actually trying to save the world? And my arrival has instead made Angra Mainyu fail?
I used to think that Angra Mainyu, who Gilgamesh sees as a human evil, might be the king of this Alternate World. Now that I think about it, that might actually be the case.
So, back then in the underground cave, I was wondering why this world was going to be pruned before I even arrived. Could this be the reason?
You need to know that before, in the underground cave, Gilgamesh said that this world should have been pruned 7 years ago. Angra Mainyu had also said that this world would be pruned sooner or later, but the arrival of the Imaginary Tree extended the fate of the world being pruned.
Could it be that the evil in this world disappeared a long time ago? Even before I traveled here, the world after the evil disappeared had already developed to the point of almost being destroyed.
But Angra Mainyu, the human evil recognized by Gilgamesh, didn't pollute the Greater Holy Grail as early as 60 years ago, becoming All the World's Evil? Why would something like this happen?
Could it be... that Angra Mainyu had already been destroyed back then?
Then, after 60 years, the world developed to its end and was about to be destroyed. Then I came here.
But when I traveled here, Angra Mainyu was clearly in the Greater Holy Grail. No, I can't be sure if Angra Mainyu was really in the Greater Holy Grail at that time, because I was bound by my knowledge of the story. I naturally assumed that the Greater Holy Grail was polluted 7 years ago, but at least after the Holy Grail War started, no, after Kotomine Risei, the supervisor of this Holy Grail War, gathered everyone to get rid of the Greater Holy Grail, I went to the underground cave and confirmed for the first time that Angra Mainyu really existed there.
In other words, theoretically, when I went to the underground cave for the first time and saw Angra Mainyu with my own eyes, I couldn't completely confirm whether he had always really existed.
But Angra Mainyu had said that he personally saw the Imaginary Tree enter the Greater Holy Grail 7 years ago. That means he himself believes that he has been there for 60 years.
So, does that mean all my thoughts are wrong?
No... it feels like there's a gap somewhere, something I haven't thought of.
That's right, it was Irisviel who said it at the time.
"Just now, the souls of the Servants in my body were taken by the Greater Holy Grail. All the World's Evil, Angra Mainyu, told me that someone had planted a white sapling in the Greater Holy Grail 7 years ago, and it's wildly absorbing the power of the Greater Holy Grail. Even Angra Mainyu's All the World's Evil black mud can't take it and it's about to be sucked dry."
In other words, it was the Greater Holy Grail itself that forcibly opened the hole in the Greater Holy Grail. Angra Mainyu told Irisviel about this, and after Angra Mainyu's words were spoken through Irisviel's mouth, everyone believed it, or at least didn't doubt it.
And at the time, Gilgamesh kept saying that the Imaginary Tree was a much bigger threat than Angra Mainyu. After Angra Mainyu came out of the Greater Holy Grail, he also said that the Imaginary Tree was a bigger threat than him.
But now that I think about it, are Angra Mainyu's words really beyond doubt?
Maybe the Imaginary Tree really is a bigger threat than Angra Mainyu, but Tia always feels like Angra Mainyu is using the Imaginary Tree to cover up the many problems on his own body.
Tia is even suddenly starting to doubt whether that Angra Mainyu really died like that.
You need to know that according to Tia's guess, the evil in this world should have disappeared before.
According to the development of the Fate world, in the Third Holy Grail War 60 years ago, the Einzbern family prepared two plans. One was to summon Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, and the other was to summon Angra Mainyu.
If the evil really disappeared before, then the Holy Grail War 60 years ago might have had a third plan, or maybe something unknown happened at that time.
And the only people in the world today who participated in the Third Holy Grail War that Tia knows of and can find, is the current head of the Einzbern family.
"Master, if you plan to go now, we'd better go back to Fuyuki City, Einzbern Castle, to find the King's Master, Emiya Kiritsugu," Lancelot said at this time.
Tia shook her head: "We have to take care of the things here first, otherwise I won't feel at ease even if I go."
Lancelot nodded and said nothing more.
At this moment, Asagami Fujino began to speak.
"Alright, everyone, today's Mystic Eye show is over. If you want to see anything else, come back tomorrow," Asagami Fujino said very gracefully to the crowd of onlookers.
