Miracle Summoner

The presence and movement of people are closely related to the spiritual layers of the land and the city.

This is because every person carries a certain amount of spiritual energy.

When large numbers of people move, the disorder in spiritual energy flow can disrupt the spiritual veins running through the earth.

Even if only temporarily, human movements and numbers do have an impact on the spiritual veins—this is undeniable.

When the spiritual veins become chaotic, the flow of spiritual energy deviates from its normal course.

If this deviation becomes excessive, a phenomenon known as a "Spiritual Disaster" occurs.

At least, in this world, this is considered common knowledge—a distinctive phenomenon.

Especially in a highly populated place like Tokyo, the frequent occurrence of Spiritual Disasters is understandable.

Of course, Spiritual Disasters are not caused solely by human activity. Blaming it entirely on people would be unreasonable.

Therefore, even if powerful spiritual energy descends upon the world, its impact on the world itself is minimal.

On this day, in this world, several extraordinarily powerful and noble spiritual presences descended unnoticed.

"Vwoom——!"

A vortex of light suddenly opened, and a majestic, golden, and resplendent dragon emerged as if leaping from another world, or perhaps returning to its lair. As it gracefully soared out of the vortex, it let out an excited and exultant roar.

The dragon's roar, accompanied by an overwhelming surge of draconic energy, shook the atmosphere itself, creating a spectacular celestial event.

Such a commotion should have sent shockwaves through the entire city and immediately alerted the Onmyou Agency, which monitored the flow of the spiritual veins day and night, bringing forth serious trouble.

Fortunately, the mastermind who orchestrated this return had already foreseen this issue. A concealed barrier had been deployed in advance, enveloping the dragon completely. This barrier not only prevented the dragon's energy from spreading but also concealed its presence and all the disturbances it caused. As a result, the people below continued their daily lives, unaware of what had transpired above them.

The city's bustling atmosphere remained unchanged.

Hokuto seemed to revel in the familiarity of its surroundings, swimming joyfully through the air.

It was inevitable. After all, this was the world it had originated from. Returning to its homeland naturally filled it with nostalgia and joy.

Likewise, standing atop Hokuto's head, a young man draped in a jet-black cloak adorned with raven feathers stood against the wind, gazing at the city below with a nostalgic smile.

"I'm back."

Rozen thus declared his return.

In this world, he was known as Tsuchimikado Akikan.

In this world, he was regarded as the reincarnation of Yakou.

In the distant past, when he was still immature, he had stirred up no small amount of trouble in this world and had even clashed with the Onmyou Agency.

Now, he had finally returned—not only had he undergone a complete transformation, but even the dragon he had obtained from this world had grown immensely, now standing as the most powerful dragon kind, unfazed even by gods.

For this man and his dragon, this return was akin to a triumphant homecoming.

As for the girls accompanying them, the sight before them left their eyes gleaming with fascination.

"So this is another world?"

Artoria [Alter] looked down at the city below, her usually cold voice tinged with rare curiosity.

"I see... so this is a modern city."

Jeanne [Alter] also observed the view below. Though she maintained an air of disdain, the gleam in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

"We've really arrived in another world..."

Serenity murmured in awe, her mouth slightly open in an adorable expression of surprise.

As for Mash, at this very moment, she was staring blankly at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

"This is... a blue sky..."

Mash whispered, her voice filled not only with disbelief but also with deep emotion.

In that instant, her long-cherished wish had been fulfilled.

What lay before her now was neither the gray-black sky of a burned and ruined human history nor the mysterious, light-filled skies of the Singularities. It was a vast, unbroken blue sky.

Beyond that, there was also warm sunlight, pleasant weather, a bustling city filled with people, a lively and vibrant atmosphere, and a soothing breeze. These things formed nothing more than an ordinary scene of daily life, yet to Mash, it was profoundly moving.

"So this is a metropolis. This is Tokyo. Just as everyone said, there are so many people, along with roads and vehicles. So many high-rise buildings. Ah, there's a vending machine over there! A phone booth and a train platform, too! Is that the legendary train?"

Mash's eyes widened as if she were gazing upon a dream, her voice brimming with excitement and wonder.

Seeing Mash like this, Rozen couldn't help but smile. Even Artoria [Alter], Jeanne [Alter], and Serenity found themselves unconsciously softening their expressions.

It was merely an everyday scene, ordinary in every way—yet it moved Mash to such an extent that her emotions became contagious.

Naturally, a sense of sympathy arose in everyone's hearts.

This girl had never even seen such a simple, everyday sight. She had been confined to Chaldea her entire life, residing in the freezing altitudes of 6000 meters above sea level, forever separated from the most mundane of experiences.

Now, she had finally achieved her dream and was able to witness the world she had long yearned for.

No, it wasn't just Mash. The other girls present had also never experienced such ordinary happiness.

"Seeing this peaceful era... even I find myself wondering whether the endless battles of my past life were truly necessary."

Artoria [Alter] gazed down at the city from above.

"To live in a world without fear... that itself is a form of happiness."

Jeanne [Alter] spoke with her usual sardonic tone, yet her words carried a hint of sincerity.

"A world where one does not have to fear being assassinated..."

Serenity muttered softly.

All three of them felt a certain sentimentality toward the mundane sight before them.

Watching them, Rozen shrugged slightly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Only he knew that this world was not as peaceful and ordinary as it appeared.

Right now, the Onmyou Agency was likely hunting down the Tsuchimikado family. The Kurahashi and Souma families were scheming to summon gods. Spiritual Disasters were becoming increasingly frequent. Chaos could erupt at any moment.

However, these disturbances were limited to Tokyo, or at most, to this nation.

Compared to the incineration of human history and the destruction wrought by war, these matters seemed relatively minor.

Of course, Rozen knew he would not be able to stay uninvolved.

But...

(I may not be able to stay uninvolved, but that doesn't mean I have to let Mash and the others get caught up in it.)

As the girls continued to chat excitedly, marveling at the sights before them, Rozen smiled and made a suggestion.

"Since you're all interested, how about you girls go see this world?"

With that, Rozen proposed an adventure.
