In the living room of the Emiya residence, at night. Right after Konoka, Setsuna and Kaede came back from buying ingredients for dinner.
"Eeeeh, how come Rakan-sama of Ala Rubra is in Emiya's residence de gozaru!" Kaede said who was surprised by the appearance of Rakan at Emiya's residence.
"I don't know why Rakan-sama is here," Setsuna said with a smile. "But I'm glad I got to meet one of the heroes from Ala Alba."
"That Rakan-san if I'm not mistaken is my father's friend and Negi-kun's father friend isn't he?" Asked Konoka. "My father said that Rakan-san had long retired and chose to seclude himself in a secluded place, because he didn't want to deal with the problems at Mundus Magicus anymore. But now why did Rakan-san choose to leave the place where he was isolated and appear at Emiya's residence?"
"I came to this place to have a little reunion with Evangeline and see the results of the training I gave to Nagi son and the boy named Kotarou," Replied Rakan. "But I also didn't expect that Eishun's daughter would come to Mundus Magicus, until now I was confused as to why such a rigid man could have a child as cute as you."
Rakan praised Konoka while rubbing Konoka's head. And Konoka felt happy when she was praised and her head was rubbed by Rakan.
"Setsuna and I heard a lot about your legendary achievements while being a bounty hunter and adventurer," Kaede said as she bowed her head towards Rakan. "I feel happy to have met you Rakan-Sama."
"Kaede is right," Setsuna said while doing the same with Kaede. "Meeting someone like you is a rare opportunity, I feel very proud to have had the opportunity."
"You two don't need to be so rigid," Rakan said who felt uncomfortable with the respect shown by Kaede and Setsuna. "I feel bad for both of you when you treat me like that. So act more normally in front of me."

"Yo, Jack," Clone Nagi said who suddenly appeared next to Rakan. "Has Eishun's daughter arrived here yet?"
"Yup, she's here, and she's currently chatting with me and her two classmates," Replied Rakan. "The three of them are quite strong you know, for teenagers who are only fourteen and fifteen years old."
Konoka, Setsuna, and Kaede were left gaping with the appearance of someone who was previously thought to have disappeared for so long.
"H-how could Shirou-Sama's biological father Nagi-Sama be in this place!" Setsuna said who was feeling nervous and panicked at the same time. "Shouldn't he still be missing."
"Th-This is really surprising," Kaede said who looked very nervous. "A-able to meet two heroes in just one day."
"W-Why is Shirou-kun's father and Negi-kun father is here," Konoka said frantically. "H-has Shirou-kun already managed to find the whereabouts of his father?"
Konoka, Setsuna and Kaede had different reactions. But the three of them were thinking the same thing in their heads, namely: How could Nagi Springfield who was the goal for the Ala Alba members to go to Mundus Magicus to appear before them?
"I also can't explain in too much detail why at this time I can be in this place with you when your goal Ala Alba is to find my whereabouts," Clone Nagi said who could already guess the reaction of Konoka, Setsuna and Kaede if he suddenly suddenly appeared. Suddenly in front of the three of them.
"But I'm not the real Nagi, but a clone that has twenty-five to thirty percent of the original Nagi's spirit, which was stored in Albiero Imma's artifact and given a physical body by Shirou using Denial of Nothingness. If the three of you want to know everything more clearly just ask Shirou for the details later."
Nagi's words clearly made the three girls panic, to the point that once again the three of them opened their mouths.

Due to the unexpected appearance of Clone Nagi in front of Konoka, Setsuna and Kaede. Shirou had to give the three of them quite a long explanation, about what happened to Mahora Budokai and why Clone Nagi had appeared. After the three of them were satisfied with Shirou's explanation. He didn't forget to warn them not to let Asuna find out about the existence of the Nagi Clone, because that would trigger the dark memories that were sealed inside Asuna's head.
Regarding Asuna's memory, Shirou didn't want to give the three of them too much detail. But he promised the three of them after returning to Mahora he would explain about Asuna's memory.

"Regarding the appearance of Rakan-Sama and Clone of Nagi-Sama really surprised me," Setsuna said who was currently standing on one of the balconies in Emiya's residence with Kaede. "My heart is still beating really fast because of the two of them appearing especially because of the appearance of Nagi-Sama's Clone."
"Well I feel the same way with you Setsuna-Dono," Kaede said while eating the banana she brought from the kitchen. "And with the appearance of the two of them I hope our mission in Mundus Magicus will become easier you can feel the strength of the two of them instead of Setsuna-Dono."
"Nagi-sama isn't hiding how strong he is, the magic power he possesses is immense. And I can't really find an opening to attack him stealthily because he never seems to let his guard down," Setsuna said while gulping.
"Rakan-Sama is the opposite of Nagi-Sama, he suppresses his strength and shows a lot of carelessness de gozaru," Kaede said. "The air of its existence itself isn't intimidating, it's just that from the aura that surrounds it I can sense something terrifying. I don't know how much blood he has shed that he can have that kind of terrifying aura."

On one of the floating rocks outside Ostia. Tsukuyomi and Fate Averruncus were looking at Ostia which was currently very bright, because the international peace festival would be held in two days.
"International peace festival, huh. It looks like fun. If I'm not mistaken, the official opening is the day after tomorrow," Tsukuyomi said.
Fate paid no heed to what Tsukuyomi said and kept looking at Ostia with his usual emotionless face.
"Fate you don't seem interested in the festival at all?" Asked Tsukoyomi.
"You yourself speak as if you are interested in the festival," Fate replied. "Even though you're not interested in the peace festival yourself."
"Khu khu khu from the beginning I was not a human who could live among normal people," Tsukuyomi said with a very cold and scary smile, on her face. "For me as long as I can shed blood in that fight is more than enough."
Finished speaking, Fate immediately pulled Tsukuyomi's body behind a large rock. Because there was a surveillance ship belonging to Ariadne that carried out routine patrols around Ostia.
"Ariadne's patrol ship huh," Tsukuyomi said while looking from behind a rock. "It would be terrible if we caught by them?"
"No, not really," Fate said. "It's just that I don't want our whereabouts to be found out by Ariadne because it will be very troublesome later."
"Ariadne is an independent military nation in the south isn't it? Is it okay if they are in the north like this?" Asked Tsukuyomi.
"Besides Ariadne there are many spy ships from other countries in Ostia, whose guard is being loosened due to the Festival," Fate replied. "After all, the Peace Festival is just a cover so that all the major countries in Mundus Magicus can keep an eye on each other."
"Then can I cut the ship down," Tsukuyomi said. "I want to spill the blood of the passengers on that ship."
"No, your actions will only attract attention," Fate said. "I want us Cosmo Entelecheia members to keep a low profile."
"Sigh is really troublesome when I have to refrain from slashing at someone," Tsukuyomi said. "What exactly is the purpose of Cosmo Entelecheia carrying out all acts of terrorism in Mundus Magicus."
"Permanent world peace," Fate said. "Where there will no longer be humans who have to suffer in this world."
