"Kusanagi-kun is currently receiving treatnt at the Seishuin shrine."
Touma Amakasu snapped back to reality, answering while focused on driving.
"Is that so..." Hearing this, the anxiety already bubbling in Mariya Yuri's heart intensified.
The calamity she feared most was indeed the massive, world-spanning disaster brought by that 'Albion' figure in the near future.
However, that didn't an the imdiate crisis could be ignored.
In fact, precisely because she was worried about what was to co, she was even more concerned about the outco of the present battle.
"Even though Kusanagi-kun slew that famous Greek hero and obtained his authorities, before that, he was just an ordinary high school student."
Touma's voice grew solemn. "No matter how talented he is, turning that talent into raw power takes ti... Besides, when it cos to raw talent, the Martial King is absolutely no slouch either..."
"But..." Yuri's mood plumted further. This feeling of being able to foresee a desperate future yet being utterly powerless to stop it left her feeling completely helpless.
She wasn't the only one feeling terrible; Touma felt the sa way.
'What on earth is causing such chaos...? Why does it feel like Japan has suddenly beco the center of the world?'
No one could comfort their complex emotions.
After obtaining the na 'Albion,' Touma mobilized the full strength of the History Compilation Committee and even reached out to the 'Old Lord' who truly controlled Japan's magical world.
Yet, even with all that power, they hadn't managed to get any useful information.
Even Susanoo, the Old Lord situated in the Netherworld, was scratching his head, trying to figure out where this 'Albion' had popped up from.
'It couldn't be another avatar of his, like Lancelot, right? That would be too many avatars, wouldn't it? Three layers deep? And out of those three, only lusine feels like she fits my understanding.'
He didn't think Yuri's spirit vision was wrong just because Princess Alice, the world's strongest witch, hadn't ntioned 'Albion.'
Leaving aside the fact that vision is inherently subjective, he believed Princess Alice could definitely see the sa things as Yuri, if not more—she just hadn't looked.
Whether out of politeness or caution, her not looking was more likely the truth than her not seeing it.
...Forget it, thinking about this is aningless.
Instead of this, I need to figure out a way to provide so assistance to the Kusanagi household.
The Last King must not be resurrected under any circumstances.
Having spent so many years on preparations and asures to prevent his return, how could I let it all be ruined by so Martial King?
With that thought, Susanoo looked toward the A no Murakumo no Tsurugi sword at his side.

A comfortable environnt brings ntal enjoynt, but it also makes ti feel like it's flowing much faster.
Although Japan was a small place, the culture and customs, completely different from the West, made Athena and the others feel refreshed.
For the past two days, right at dawn, Athena would shake lusine awake from her tatami mats, then drag her two knights around to experience the local customs, even going so far as to act like tourists at other shrines.
After all, while they were staying at a shrine, it wasn't the type that welcod visitors.
Forget guests, there wasn't even a passerby in the vicinity, keeping it completely pristine and quiet.
lusine had actually experienced this countless tis before, whether it was in Jujutsu Kaisen, Date A Live, or just general crossover worlds.
Conversely, she hadn't spent much ti in Europe.
However, seeing the other three looking genuinely curious and amused, lusine didn't voice her boredom and just acted her usual indifferent self.
Fortunately, this novelty didn't last long, or perhaps seeing that lusine really couldn't muster any interest, Athena gave up on dragging her out of bed at the crack of dawn.
Finally able to have a comfortable day dream... that's how it should have been, but a massive roar from nearby completely shattered lusine's chance at a good sleep, not just because of the vibration, but also because of Athena barging into her room.
"It is ti to act," Athena's flat voice announced.
What a dramatic entrance, lusine thought, grumbling internally, but her actions were swift as always.
After instructing Erica and Liliana to guard the house together, she flew out of the shrine alongside Athena.
Athena's flight speed naturally couldn't compare to lusine's, but the fact that Japan was such a small place made up for it.
When their figures appeared in mid-air above the battlefield, side by side, no one could ignore their presence.
Holding his iron staff, flying in mid-air in his restored original form, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, narrowed his eyes upon their arrival, then quickly smiled.
"I presu you two female practitioners are the helpers ntioned by the Divine Ancestor?"
"Helpers!?"
On the ground, holding the A no Murakumo no Tsurugi and wearing a school uniform, the young man looked at lusine and Athena in disbelief.
He had indeed heard about them from Mariya Yuri and planned to investigate the purpose of these two newly arrived Heretic Gods after resolving this matter, but he hadn't expected them to arrive at such an awkward ti.
No, it wasn't an awkward ti at all—they had tid it perfectly!
Thinking this, his pressure instantly skyrocketed.
Standing on the ground nearby, a young girl dressed in blue Hanfu with her black hair styled into three braids stood with a dark expression, her gaze fixed on lusine.
"The next fight will be handled by Athena and myself." lusine noticed Sun Wukong's hostility toward them, which wasn't surprising.
Looking at the authorities of this heretical Sun Wukong, it was obvious: he could summon Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie, yet conveniently didn't bring the White Dragon Horse along to play.
As a heretical Sun Wukong, a God of Steel, he obviously disliked dragon-serpents and earth goddesses.
"Then this old monkey thanks you two," Sun Wukong cupped his hands to them, then vanished with a sorsault, obviously using a speed-related authority.
Luo Cuilian frowned tightly.
She had co to Japan specifically for Sun Wukong; if he ran away, wouldn't her trip be for nothing?
But if she chased after him right now, wouldn't it look like she was backing down just because she saw that Western dragon girl?
True, Luo Cuilian felt absolutely no worry or fear, even if the opponent was a Heretic God who had killed three Campiones.
In Luo Cuilian's eyes, there was no existence in the world more powerful than her.
She equally disregarded both Heretic Gods and Campiones, including her nesis, Voban, who in her eyes was just a punching bag that was hard to kill only because he lacked steel authorities.
If they actually fought, Voban would only be on the receiving end of a beating.
After contemplating for a mont, Luo Cuilian ultimately decided to give up on chasing Sun Wukong.
It wouldn't be too late to kill this Western dragon girl who had dealt with Voban, obtain her authority, and then chase down Sun Wukong.
