This unknown person hid all the information during the reforging process, leaving only one unlocking condition: when someone with Mystic Eyes of Death Perception holds the sword again.
When Ryougi Shiki got Tia's short sword, she instantly learned about this situation. Because it involved Arcueid, Root was forced to wake up.
That's right, the reason Root showed up at this time wasn't because of the identity of the demon-killing short sword, nor was it because it was attached to the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception of Tohno Shiki, the former owner of the Nanaya short sword. It was simply because it was the Nanaya short sword that once killed Arcueid.
Root was surprised that she couldn't see who had turned this short sword into a Noble Phantasm, who had bound the fact that it had killed Arcueid to the short sword.
This is the second person Root cannot see.
"Before you die, do you have any last words? Foreign god?" Root asked naturally.
"I shouldn't have believed that nonsense and come to this Lostbelt. I, Cthulhu, would actually be tricked!" the little octopus said sadly at the end.
That nonsense...
Tia noticed this sentence and completely confirmed that he was Cthulhu.
But this is a bit too much.
Cthulhu, the symbol of mystery and terror, has become an object of abuse here.
Back then, during the Fourth War in the Miyagawa River, when Cthulhu first appeared, even Gilgamesh couldn't handle him. He had to rely on King Arthur's Holy Sword to break the seal to solve him. Now he has fallen to this point.
Just at this moment.
"Miss Ryougi Shiki, let me take him back," Katsushika Hokusai finally stood up and said.
"Oh? Okay," Root nodded, naturally knowing Katsushika Hokusai's background.
Cthulhu sighed and watched Katsushika Hokusai use some method to recombine this little octopus with her Spirit Core. Katsushika Hokusai changed back to the Foreigner class, and Daddy changed back to octopus form.
Katsushika Hokusai finally smiled this time.
But Tia had a question.
Didn't they say that due to the Wall of Human Order, too many Extra classes prevented New Chaldea from entering Antarctica? Now that the other alien gods in Chaldea have left, can Katsushika Hokusai return to Chaldea now that she has returned to the Foreigner class?
Tia didn't understand why she did this, so she asked.
"Well... I can wait here until Chaldea successfully passes through the Wall of Human Order and then return. After all, except for me, the foreign gods in the bodies of the other Foreigners can leave at any time."
Katsushika Hokusai said.
"The foreign gods in Chaldea?" Root heard Katsushika Hokusai and repeated, "Their existence is a threat in itself. It is only natural that they are blocked by Human Order. However, I am now very curious about who turned this Nanaya short sword into what it is now."
As Root spoke, she looked at the sword in her hand, and then looked up at Tia.
"Why was it made by you again?"
When Tia heard Root's words, she immediately remembered her series of experiences with the demon-killing short sword. According to Root, these should all be recorded in Root.
"Of course, I can see your experience through the Akashic Records, but it was obtained by me through your hands, actively attracting me. This is too much of a coincidence," Root said again, "The reason why I actively showed up is because I saw the second person not recorded in Root."
When Tia heard Root's words, she understood why she said that.
Who is this person who turned the Nanaya short sword into a demon-killing short sword? Is he also a Reincarnated Person? Apart from Reincarnated Persons like him, it is impossible for anyone in the entire Type-Moon world to be invisible to Root.
At this time, Tia began to feel that this Lostbelt world was developing in a more unpredictable direction.
Just then, Root suddenly smiled.
"Hehe, it seems I should go back, otherwise, this servant from Chaldea will discover my existence. Remember, don't reveal my existence to Shiki."
After Root finished speaking, her whole person changed again. The gorgeous transformation ended, and the familiar Ryougi Shiki wearing her usual clothes returned. At the same time, the long sword in Ryougi Shiki's hand turned back into the Nanaya short sword.
"Huh? Was I just spacing out while holding this short sword?" Ryougi Shiki suddenly said, "No, not spacing out, but falling into some kind of illusion. Hey! Tia! Is this short sword named Nanaya that you gave me really created by you?"
Tia was stunned, and then understood that Ryougi Shiki might have been pulled into some kind of illusion about the Nanaya short sword by Root, making Ryougi Shiki think that this Nanaya short sword was attached with illusion magic. And the illusion that Ryougi Shiki saw was probably related to the owner of the Nanaya short sword.
"Of course not," Tia said.
"As I thought," Ryougi Shiki naturally didn't know Tia's abilities. She thought that Tia was still the Red Archer in Chaldea who could project things, and that she had seen this Nanaya short sword from somewhere and then projected it over. But what's with this illusion?
Ryougi Shiki didn't think that Tia added this illusion on purpose, because there was no need.
"Did you just fall into an illusion?" Tia asked on purpose, looking at the Nanaya short sword that had returned to its original state.
"Yes, although I really want to suspect that you did it on purpose, my intuition tells me that you don't need to do that," Ryougi Shiki said.
"Of course, I don't need to!" Tia pouted.
At this time, Gudako and Mash were also mumbling very quietly on the side.
"It's like what happened in that mutated Singularity back then," Mash said very quietly.
"I think so too," Gudako nodded.
"Is there anything special about this sword? It would...make Miss Ryougi Shiki have such illusions?" Katsushika Hokusai also asked at this time.
She had been watching all along and was very surprised by the changes in Ryougi Shiki. Now that the incident was basically over, she finally asked.
When Ryougi Shiki heard Katsushika Hokusai's question, she immediately looked at her, and naturally noticed the existence of Daddy.
"Huh? You're back? Speaking of which, what about Araya Souren? Did he disappear? Right! What about Touko! She's gone too? What happened after I fell into the illusion just now?"
Ryougi Shiki had many questions about this.
