"Did I finally win…?"
As fragnts of the shattered Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon mixed with the flas of the destroyed Demon King Sword, Emiya gazed up at the sky of Duelist Kingdom and sighed.
"Three years… then another three years… and another three. Now I can finally devote myself wholeheartedly to cooking."
["It's only been seven years—why are you using a ten-year line?"]
Eve: "Food that good… and it still wasn't Emiya's full effort? In a way, that's even more terrifying than projecting the Sword!"
"But I think I understand how Emiya feels~"
Giving Emiya a victory sign, Hoshino smiled brightly.
"Even though I've won countless duels over the years, only this one feels… exceptionally satisfying."
She didn't feel the sa urge as Emiya to rush off and cook eight dishes, but overcoming that past defeat felt like finally releasing sothing long suppressed deep within her heart.
"With how I feel right now… even the Nine Realms King wouldn't stand a chance against ."
Clenching her fist, Hoshino speculated that perhaps the World Legacies had never truly been necessary to begin with.
The journey of searching for them—and the battles fought to obtain them—those were the real keys needed to overco the crisis.
"Heh… that really does sound like my style, 'World Legacy'…"
"Hmph. Well fought, Hoshino."
Leaving behind those final words, the pale Spirit Kaiba manifested from the World Lance faded away from the opposing Duel Arena.
All that remained was the chanical-looking World Legacy – "World Lance," floating before Hoshino.
"YA! DA! ZE! That makes three World Legacies now, Hoshino!"
Having taken another huge step toward their goal, Eve was practically overjoyed—even slipping into Minazuki's speech habits.
"So this is a battle-type World Legacy… the World Lance?"
Reaching out, Hoshino lightly touched the shaft of the lance. She had already witnessed its card effect during the duel—a terrifying hand trap capable of reducing the opponent's ATK by 3000. It truly deserved to be called a spear that could pierce through anything.
"Huh… it's not heavy at all?"
Despite its tallic, chanical appearance suggesting considerable weight, the lance felt almost weightless in her hands.
Not completely weightless—but if she had to describe it, it felt about as light and easy to handle as a household broom.
"This feels pretty nice… interesting~"
She casually swung it a couple of tis. With such a cool and lightweight spear in hand, even soone without chuunibyou tendencies would find it hard to resist the satisfying sensation of slicing through the air.
["Aibo, if you casually swing a spear like that, your Luck stat will drop."]
"Wah!"
Hoshino instantly froze before hurriedly hiding the lance behind her back.
"Shh—I didn't do anything! I'm not switching to the Lancer class, okay…?"
"Stop fooling around, Hoshino." Kaiba asked, "What about the next clue? The locations shown earlier on the map—there were only two, right?"
"I'm not fooling around!"
Sticking out her tongue at Kaiba, Hoshino placed the Star Grail card onto her Duel Disk.
"Let check if it's updated."
The map projection unfolded once more. According to Eve, the Star Grail's greatest function was guiding them toward the next World Legacy.
Since they had already obtained the two marked ones, logically, the next location should now appear.
"…What's going on? There's no change at all?"
Looking at the exact sa map as before—still marking only Demon Island and Duelist Kingdom—Hoshino glanced suspiciously back at Eve.
"This 'Star Grail' that's supposed to guide us… doesn't seem to work the way you said it would, does it, useless priestess?"
"Ahaha… ahahaha…"
Scratching the back of her head, Eve forced out an awkward laugh.
"This level of error is… within acceptable deviation! Maybe the Star Grail just isn't in good condition today."
"What do you an it's 'not in good condition'?!"
Bonk—
