《Infinite Swordsman and His Cafe》Chapter 32: Aftermath
Advertisement
Kojiro, Sakura, and Zelretch arrive in the Clock Tower after he defeats Gilgamesh. As they come in the Clock Tower, Kojiro can see many magus walk around in panic for some reason. When the magus in the lobby sees Zelretch, one of the magus walks toward Zelretch. The magus that walked to Zelretch is the key to the Grand Order event, Lev Lainur Flauros. He wants to kill the young man in front of him before he can cause a global disaster, but Zelretch tells him not to kill Lev because this young man is the one that will kill himself before the Demon God can possess his body.
"Lord Marshall, there is a spike of Prana coming from Japan. The Vice-Director Barthomeloi Lorelei wants to meet with you, sir."
"Very well, Kojiro, you can go to my workshop and wait for me while I meet the Vice-Director."
"Sure"
He then goes to Zelretch's Workshop and waits for the old vampire.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zelretch walked to the Vice-Director office. Barthomeloi Lorelei, the Queen of Clock Tower, The greatest magus in the modern era, the only magus that is close to a True Magic-user. He respects the current Vice-Director as she is one of few people that can reach something close to true magic. However, like the other magus, Lorelei is rather arrogant and too proud of his tastes. Still, unlike the other magus, Lorelei can back her word because no one can compete with her in terms of magecraft except a few others.
Sadly, while she can reach a magecraft that is close to True Magic, it was not enough to defeat a Magician. The reason for it is because Lorelei doesn't have an Infinite supply of mana that can keep up with her magic output. He knows that she has a massive amount of Prana, but it can't be compared to Magician Prana. The First, Fourth, and Five True Magic do not need Prana to activate it while Second and Third True Magic gives the user an Infinite amount of Prana.
Zelretch snaps from his thoughts when he arrives at the Vice-Director office.
After he walks inside the room, he sees a young woman sitting on the chair with her hand holding a sheet of paper.
"Please sit, Wizard Marshall, Zelretch."
When he sits on the couch, Lorelei walks to the couch in front of him and places down some paper.
"Zelretch, I have many reports about a spike of Prana coming from Japan, Specifically in Fuyuki City. Can you explain that?"

"Sure."
"... So?"
"My kouhai fight Gilgamesh."
"What?"
"My kouhai fight Gilgamesh."
"I know that, but why?!?"
"Well, I ask him to kill the King of Heroes."
"WHY?!?"
"If I don't do that, then Humanity will come to an end."
"...what?"
"Yeah, Gilgamesh, the oldest hero humanity has, decides that Kojiro is a worthy opponent for him."
"Is there any connection to the end of Humanity?"
"Yes, If I don't ask him to fight the Golden King, then Gilgamesh will summon the primate murder and yes the same Primate Murder that Altrouge Brunestud formerly has. Right now, Primate Murder is with Gaia."
"How accurate is this information?"
"Have I ever lied to you about the end of Mankind?"
"No... While I hate your behavior, you never lie about something like this. What kind of magic do they use? The Prana can be sensed all across the globe."
"Well… Gilgamesh uses Enuma Elish while Kojiro uses Kaleidoscope."
"Enuma Elish… The weapon that split heaven and earth?"
"Yup"
"I see, And the second user of Kaleidoscope uses 'Kaleidoscope' to fight the power of Enuma Elish."
"Yeah, My barrier almost broke because of the shockwave."
"Haaaaaa… Get out. I need to write this report to the Director."
"Sure, Bye-bye Lorelei-chan"
"Just get out of here, you troll."
When Zelretch walks outside and closes the door, he has the most devious smirk on his face. After seeing Zelretch walk outside, Barthomeloi Lorelei shudders for a moment, she doesn't know what will have happened, but she knows that Zelretch will make her paperwork doubled by the end of the day. She just knows it.
Zelretch walked to his workshop with a smile on his face while whistling merrily. The people that see Zelretch have happy expressions on his face begin to run as far away as they can from the happy troll.
When Zelretch arrives inside his workshop, he looks at Kojiro sitting on the couch while a beautiful woman sitting next to him tries to seduce him with her body. On the other side of the room is Sakura petting a squirrel-like creature on top of her lap while on her back is a little girl eating a brownie with gusto. Those two beings are Gaia and Alaya.
"Kojiro, when Gaia and Alaya arrive inside my workshop?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After they arrive at the workshop, Kojiro sits down on the couch and takes out some snacks from his Pocket Dimension, then gives it to Sakura. They spend their free time watching some Anime that Zelretch has (Mainly Magical Girl) and eating the snack he takes out from his Pocket Dimension.

While enjoying their time, he can feel another presence coming into the Zelretch workshop. He looks to his side and sees Gaia and Alaya walk through some kind of portal.
"Hello, Alaya Gaia, How are you?"
"I'm fine, Kojiro-kun."
"En"
Both entities then walk to him. Alaya sits next to him and begins to rub her cleavage at his arm while Gaia sits next to Sakura and eats the snack she has without asking first. He chuckles a little, seeing Sakura's eyes widen as she sees her beloved snack get taken by Gaia. Kojiro takes another snack and places it in front of Sakura. Seeing another food, Sakura begins to smile once more. He also sees Fou or Cath Palug or Primate Murder jump to Sakura and eats the snack with her.
"Ne, Kojiro-kun~."
"What is it?"
"Do you want to join my force? You can look at my boobies you if you agree~."
"No"
"Eh~~~ I thought boobies are the weakness of many men. Weird~"
Kojiro sighs a little and accepts his fate of constant invitation courtesy of Alaya and giving food to Gaia for every minute. After waiting for a minute, He looks at Zelretch and walks inside the workshop and says.
"Kojiro, when Gaia and Alaya arrive inside my workshop?"
"Not too long ago, did you get in any trouble?"
"Nah"
He takes sake from his Pocket Dimension and gives it to Zelretch.
"Kojiro, I suggesting that you destroy the Greater Grail."
"Why?"
"To end this Holy Grail war before any innocent people die."
He looked at Zelretch with his eyebrow raised a little. However, before he can say something, Alaya says.
"Oh? You want to destroy that abomination?"
"Abomination?"
"Yeah, those things that people call Holy Grail."
"Yes, I will destroy the Holy Grail."
"Good, It's about time."
Before he can ask why Gaia looks at Alaya in a serious expression, then says.
"Destroy bad things?"
"Yeah, Kojiro-kun here will destroy the 'bad thing' for us."
Gaia then looks at me and says.
"Good, Bad things are bad. The bad thing is no good"
After saying that, Gaia goes back to her food and ignores the rest of them once again. Kojiro looks at Zelretch and says.
"Can you explain this?"
"Well… First thing first, this 'Holy Grail' is not the same Holy Grail in the Christian holy relic but rather a relic that was created by humans. The process of creating this event I will not tell you, but one thing that I can tell you is the one that created this relic invoked the presence of an Outer God. The reason why Gaia hates the Holy Grail is that it hurts her. Holy Grail constantly creates a path to Akasha without the permission of Gaia. It's like people punching you constantly non-stop. What people don't know, the Holy Grail already created the path, and the reason the Holy Grail War exists is to open up the gate to the path. Alaya hates the Holy Grail because it is a foreign entity presence that she doesn't understand or something like that."
"I see, then why don't they destroy the Grail themself?"
"Well, if Gaia tries to destroy it, then the Dark Six will do the job for her. However, by awakening the Dark Six, all the Twenty seven Dead Apostle Ancestors will gather together and fulfill her wishes, and yes, that includes me. While fulfilling the wishes of Gaia, the Dark Six will need blood to keep their thirst, and Human is their food. Gaia doesn't care about humanity while Alaya cares for them. There will be a war between Gaia and Alaya."
"Then why don't you destroy it?"
"There is something that most people don't know. The Holy Grail cannot be destroyed by something made by mankind. There is a reason why in many futures, only Artoria Pendragon can destroy the Holy Grail. The reason is that Excalibur is a divine construct."
"Then why give the honor to me?"
"Because all of your equipment is alien by nature. Gaia and Alaya can't see through all your equipment, right?"
Zelretch looks at both Gaia and Alaya, who nodded at him before going back to whatever they are doing before.
"The only thing that both Gaia and Alaya can see in you is your sword, but even those things have something alien coating the sword."
Kojiro sighs and thinks for a minute before nodding at him and says.
"Very well, I will do it. Can you create the portal for me?"
Zelretch nodded at him and opened up a portal for him. He takes out his biggest gun and begins charging at full power.
"Let's do this."
