As the sun began to set, Shirou and all the members of the British cultural research club finally arrived at the gateport that would lead them all to Mundus Magicus. The gate was in the shape of a ruin that closely resembled stone henge and near the gate were countless people wearing the same robes they were all wearing.
"How come the gate looks so much like Stonehenge?" Rin said who felt strange with the shape of the gateport who will leading them to Mundus Magicus. "Whoever built this gate has a very bad taste in copying other people's work to create portals to the wizarding world."
"Well whatever shape it doesn't matter, doesn't it," Sakura said. "The important thing is that gate can lead us all to Mundus Magicus."
"The private gate belonging to the Edelfelt family also has almost the same shape as this gate," Luvia said. "It's just that the size is much smaller than this, until now there is no known way to make another gate other than the one that looks like the stonehenge. That's why any gate that leads to Mundus Magicus will always look like stonehenge."
"Donnet-san this gateport will take us directly to Megalomesembria which is the largest city in Mundus Magicus, right?" Asked Negi.
"Yes, this gate will take us to Megalomesembria," Donnet replied. "The only official entry to Mundus Magicus other than the private gates owned by big clans like Edelfelt or the Tohsaka."
"Then why don't we all go to the wizarding world through the gates belonging to the Tohsaka or Edelfelt families?" Asked Yue who was confused as to why they all had to go all the way to England when there was a closer gate.
"It's all because most of us have never been to Mundus Magicus," Shirou explained to Yue who looked confused. "And for people who are going to Mundus Magicus for the first time, everyone is required to go through the official gate like the one we are going through today, so that our names can be registered in the official database of people who go to the wizarding world. In other words we have to go to Mundus Magicus through that gate so that our departure is considered official and not illegal."
"Just to go to Mundus Magicus alone is too much trouble," Rin said with a long sigh. "This is the reason I'm lazy to go to the wizarding world, because the procedure is really complicated!"

"Ugh, after walking for more than twenty minutes, I feel a bit tired," Haruna said as she raised her hands up to relieve the fatigue in her arms. "Walking for a long timw is not suitable for people who rarely exercise like me."
"Well, Haruna who used to only walk for five minutes was already like a dying person desu," Yue said. "Fortunately now your stamina has increased drastically due to the physical training in the winter dome."
"Yu-Yue please don't remind me again about the hell we have to go through in Eva-chan's palace," Haruna said whose face had turned pale with cold sweat running down her face. "I don't want to remember the torment that nearly killed me!"
"Haruna-san, if you feel tired, you better rest first," Negi sais who was worried when he saw Haruna's pale face. "Because we still have a long time to go to Mundus Magicus!"
"Uwaaah the gate is really big, huh," Konoka said with sparkling eyes because she was amazed by the sight she was currently seeing. "There are a lot of people going to Mundus Magicus besides us, so this place doesn't look as lonely as I imagined."
"That's not a large number," Donnet said. "There are very few large gates like this in this world, apart from that they only open once a week and if the conditions are bad they only open once a month."
"Once a week sometimes even once a month?" Kazumi said. "It turns out that going to the wizarding world isn't as easy as I thought."
"Going to an isolated world turned out to be very troublesome apparently," Chisame said. "Fortunately we left at the right time."
"Sigh, this is the reason I prefer to use my family's private gate which is more stable and can be used anytime if I want to go to Mundus Magicus," Luvia said who really didn't like the situation she is in right now because she had to go to Mundus Magicus using the official gate. "There are so many things to take care of just to go to Mundus Magicus if you go to the wizarding world using the official gate."
"Well luckily Auguste-san does a really good job when he takes care of all the bureaucratic and administrative issues that need to be taken care of so we can go to the wizarding world," Shirou said with a smile. "He really is a very reliable butler."

"Uwaaa I really can't wait to get into that gate and go to Mundus Magicus," Illya said whose body was shaking because she was feeling happy.
"Be patient, Illya, because it's not time for the gate to open yet," Kuro said, who could only pat her face seeing her twin sister rather shameful behavior. "You act like a five year old kid you know! Shame!"
"Donnet-san how much longer until the gate opens?" Asked Miyu.
"About an hour until the gates open," Donnet replied, looking at the watch on her left arm.
"One more hour, huh," Asuna said. "That's plenty of time for an afternoon meal."
"You're right aru," Gu Fei said who was sitting on the grass eating a bun. "One hour is ample time for an afternoon meal aru."
"More than enough de gozaru," Kaede said who was sitting next to Gu Feu while eating the same bun. "Enjoying delicious bun while watching the sunset, it's really a great pleasure de gozaru."
"You're right Kaede-Nee!" Kotaro said while eating Anya's sandwich.
"Hey Kotaro don't eat my sandwich!" shouted Anya.
"Ara ara Anya-chan and Kotaro-kun who fighting over food really look cute," Konoka said who was sitting on the grass while eating her onigiri. "I wish their bickering lasted longer!"
"O-Ojou-Sama you really look weird and scary right now, plus your breath also feels very heavy," Setsuna said who was worried about Konoka's condition. "Are you sick?"
"Konoka-san isn't physically sick, Setsuna-san," Shirou said, who felt a little disgusted at Konoka's sadistic nature that sometimes appeared. "She's just mentally ill and needs a psychologist as soon as possible."
At the same time as the members of the British cultural research club were having their afternoon meal, from quite a distance away a short man was watching them all. The man's face could barely be seen, but his silvery white hair sticking out from under the hood of his robes could be seen very clearly. The man's name was Fate Averruncus, a super formidable enemy that Shirou and Archer had defeated in Kyoto. And now his goal is to frame Negi, Shirou and the members of the British culture research club so that they all look like terrorists who destroyed the gate.

[Myself! The silver haired youth we fought and defeated in Kyoto is nearby, can you feel it?] Asked Archer who suddenly woke up from his sleep because he sensed the presence of a formidable enemy.
'Yes I can feel it Archer, but we can't do anything to him because there are too many people in this place,' Shirou said. while looking at Fate. 'There will be a lot of casualties if we are determined to fight an enemy as formidable as him in this place.'
[We have to prepare for the worst,] Archer said in a voice filled with worry. [Prepare your shadows to bring all our group members into Unlimited Blade Works! Because we don't know what he's going to do!]
Shirou did as Archer ordered and activated the fragments of his own shadow that were in the shadows of each member of the British Cultural Research Club. Of course he also didn't forget to insert his shadow pieces into the shadows of Akira, Ako, Makie, Yuuna, and Natsumi who were currently sitting in the grass not far from where he was standing.
