Chapter 105: Shining Gold Comes Online!
On the top floor of the Fuyuki Hotel, within the specially constructed Imperial Suite.
The main part of this room features an enormous, seamlessly integrated glass window, roughly estimated to be around 10 meters long and 5 meters high. If someone were to stand here, they would have a panoramic view of the entire Fuyuki scenery.
A gentleman with golden hair, dressed in a leopard-print suit, arrived at the massive window holding a glass of red wine.
He swiftly drank the wine in one gulp and casually released the golden wine glass from his hand.
In the instant the glass descended, it sank into a shimmering golden ripple, completely disappearing from this world without a trace.
At the same time, a golden light appeared in the distance, soaring into the sky. The golden-haired man gazed at the radiance, as if it were an illuminating signal to all people worldwide of the existence of the Holy Grail War. "Ho~?"
"Can you... save this world, Chaldea?" he said, spreading his arms wide. "This world devoid of any possibility for the future."
"If you dare, come forth and step foot on this enigmatic land, where aberration and humanity coexist."
"The 'last' master of humanity~."
With these words, the golden-haired man placed his hands on his hips and burst into hearty laughter. "Hahaha! Hoho! Hahaha!"
At this moment, the golden-haired man felt extremely fortunate. A year ago, when he was summoned by Sakura, his original intention was to enjoy himself in the Holy Grail War.
Usually, he would definitely close his Noble Phantasm, "The Omniscient Omnipotent Star EX," during the Holy Grail War. After all, he didn't like spoiling movies for himself while watching them. Isn't that just ruining the fun?
However, after being summoned, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
Vaguely, he had a premonition that not watching the spoilers would lead to a disastrous outcome.
After careful consideration, the golden-haired man decisively chose to activate The Omniscient Omnipotent Star and take a glimpse into the future, but immediately regretted it.
He... saw his own tragic future.
He couldn't see how it would happen, but the only thing he could see was himself, Gudako, Mashu, Merlin, Artoria, and others, all tied together and suspended from a towering monkey's fist, lined up in a row, waiting to be set off like fireworks.
As the indistinct "people" ignited the towering monkey one by one, he, along with the others, became fireworks as well.
Merely recalling the situation from back then, if only he had been a little braver and hadn't peeked into the future, treating the Holy Grail War with such indifference, the golden-haired man knew it would have ended in tragedy.

Thinking about the resolute choice he made afterward and the wondrous life that followed, the golden-haired man couldn't help but laugh once again. "Hahaha! Hahaha! Hohoho!"
Sakura sat on the sofa, watching the golden-haired man's figure, shaking her head.
At the tender age of six, she couldn't help but worry about the mental state of this golden-haired man.
On the other side, as the golden-haired man muttered to himself by the window, a massive boulder soared into the sky above Fuyuki City and began to descend.
It was the boulder that had been launched into the air by Tom's flames and struck by Artoria's Excalibur, causing it to explode along with a burst of light. It weighed several tons.
Just as it was about to fall, the boulder split open!
Yes, that's right. Due to its extremely rapid spin, the boulder split into three pieces, each hurtling toward a different direction.
Meanwhile, a young man named Kazuma, wearing only a dark green tracksuit, emerged from the shopping mall. (NO WAY)
"Phew, finally got it, the newly released gal game!" Holding a securely sealed bag tightly, Kazuma whispered to himself, "I'm going to pull an all-nighter with this when I get home."
Just the thought of the delightful time tonight, the sadness of having his breakfast stolen in the morning and discovering that his clothes had been stolen by that person when he got home, would be somewhat healed.
Before he could indulge in his happy fantasies for too long, he noticed something unusual in the distant sky. "Huh? Is there a concert going on over there? It's so bright."
"Well, I better head home first." After glancing at the distance, Kazuma prepared to go home.
Right now, all he wanted to do was play games, especially dating sim games with cute girls!
And just as he was about to turn around and head home, he suddenly noticed that a shadow in the sky was growing larger and larger, and it was heading straight for Kazuma.
"What the hell is that?!" In the instant he saw the boulder in the sky, Kazuma quickly moved aside to dodge, but in doing so, he accidentally let go of his dating sim game, which fell right where the boulder was about to strike.
"Are you kidding me?!"
Overwhelmed by a strong survival instinct, Kazuma's love for the game triumphed, causing him to decisively halt his steps, turn around, and lightly kick the bag containing the game, kicking it away from the point of impact with the boulder.
But then the problem arose. By doing so, he no longer had enough time to escape.
Helplessly, Kazuma had no choice but to make a sudden leap to the side, falling onto the nearby road. Perhaps due to not paying attention to his surroundings, he accidentally leaped towards the direction of the oncoming truck.
At that very moment, a truck came and happened to collide with Kazuma, who had fallen onto the road. "Bang!"
"Bang!!!" As Kazuma was struck by the truck, the boulder also crashed into the spot where Kazuma had originally been standing. The two impacts occurred almost simultaneously.
As a result of this collision, one person lost their life, and his name was Kazuma.
May he rest in peace.
——————————————————
Similar to what happened with Kazuma, there are two other boulders hurling towards different locations, as if intentionally targeting areas with people.
Oh, no, correction. Now there's only one boulder left searching for a victim.
If you ask why, it's because the other boulder has already hit its intended target - the Tohsaka household.
As if possessing X-ray vision, the boulder accurately aimed and descended, perfectly penetrating the roof of the Tohsaka residence. It crashed through several layers of ceilings and landed in the basement, hitting Tokiomi's second favorite chair.
At that moment, Tokiomi had just risen from the chair, attempting to pour himself a cup of sleep-inducing tea to forget about his profound sadness.
"Bang!"
"Guh... Where did this rock come from?!" Tokiomi's pupils contracted sharply as he witnessed the boulder striking the chair he had just been sitting in moments ago.
Observing the massive boulder with a diameter of approximately one meter, Tokiomi felt an overwhelming sense of relief that he had decided to make tea.
But after the relief, a greater sense of sorrow followed. Looking up, he saw a series of holes, realizing it would cost a considerable sum to repair them.
Gazing at the holes above, Tokiomi was left speechless and choked with emotion.
However, if he knew about the situation of the next victim, perhaps he would find some solace.
