----------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, Shirou. There's a meeting with Dwarf King Gazel tomorrow. Are you going?"

"No. Just leave those things to you."

Emiya Shirou stood up from his chair in the research lab, smiling lightly.

"Since you've already designed that technique for me, I have to finish it properly, don't I?"

"So I'll leave the governmental affairs to you for now. Just call me when it's time to subjugate Demon Lord Clayman."

"I see. I understand."

Rimuru nodded. She knew Shirou was busy and didn't linger. After a brief farewell, she quickly left the room.

Emiya Shirou watched her go, the smile on his face lingering.

The reason he wasn't attending the meeting wasn't only what he had said.

He was already preparing to step back.

Little by little, he intended to fade from the center stage and let others take over his responsibilities. Now that Rimuru had become a Demon Lord, there wasn't much time left for him in this world.

"Once Demon Lord Clayman is dealt with, and this technique is complete... I can leave."

Having confirmed the timing of his departure in his heart, Emiya Shirou smiled faintly and sat back down.

His work resumed.

Several days had already passed since Rimuru released Veldora, the Storm Dragon.

After returning from the cave, Emiya Shirou had received the completed design from the Lord of Wisdom. From that moment on, he had immersed himself completely in the research lab.

He was no longer simply studying magic.

In fact, calling it magic was inaccurate.

Neither he nor Rimuru could execute this technique using ordinary magicules.

The essence of the method was far more fundamental.

It required cutting out a portion of space itself and turning it into a portable construct.

According to the Lord of Wisdom, small spaces created purely through magic were unstable. Their internal laws were incomplete. Life could not survive in such environments.

Unless the creator possessed authority over genesis itself, creating a space capable of sustaining life was impossible.

However, there was a workaround.

By cutting a fragment from the existing world and integrating it into a newly formed space, the laws of the original world could be overlaid onto the artificial one.

This would make it habitable.

This was the core principle of the technique provided to Emiya Shirou.

What the Lord of Wisdom had handed over was nothing less than the technology to cut the world, the method to integrate that fragment into a constructed space, and even the framework for storage spaces.

A complete package.

Because of this, Emiya Shirou-suddenly burdened with several top-tier techniques-was carefully studying how to fully master them.

More importantly, he needed to integrate them with his existing abilities.

Only then could he execute the technique safely.

Cutting space would leave behind a spatial rift.

A wound in the world.

If handled poorly, the damage could be catastrophic.

Emiya Shirou did not intend to fail.

He intended to succeed in one attempt.

"I'm back, Lord Shirou!"

The door opened, and Shuna's voice reached him.

"It's Shuna."

Emiya Shirou turned around and smiled when he saw her.

"How did the meeting go?"

"Everything is progressing very smoothly," Shuna replied with a gentle smile, her tone calm and serious.

"Although it was interrupted midway by the arrival of the Sorcerer Dynasty Sarion, they came with friendly intentions. Lord Rimuru invited them to join the discussion."

"Along with Youm, who was appointed by Lord Rimuru as the future king of the Falmuth Kingdom, Mister Fuse from the Blumund Kingdom, Dwarf King Gazel, and the Three Beastketeers from the Beast Kingdom..."

"It became a six-nation conference."

"And it concluded without any major issues."

"Smooth is good."

Emiya Shirou nodded in satisfaction.

Then he sighed quietly.

"If the diplomatic matters are settled, then what comes next is war."

"The war against Demon Lord Clayman."

As he said the name, his gaze sharpened.

Demon Lord Clayman would likely be the final enemy he faced in this world.

"Oh, right," Shuna added after a brief pause.

"On my way here, I met Gobta."

"He said the project you entrusted to him is already more than halfway complete and should be finished soon."

"Is that so?"

Emiya Shirou nodded again, clearly pleased.

"It seems Gobta is working hard."

After fully understanding the technique, Emiya Shirou had immediately been faced with a crucial decision.

Where to cut the space.

According to the Lord of Wisdom, the moment space was severed, the exposed area would fall into a chaotic state. A spatial rift would form, one that could take thousands of years to naturally heal.

During that time, if someone with malicious intent interfered, the rift could expand endlessly.

The consequences would be disastrous.

After careful consideration, Emiya Shirou made his decision.

Underground.

He would excavate a vast space deep beneath the surface. Once the cut was made, the entrance would be sealed completely.

Then, it would be entrusted to the Tree Sprites for permanent guardianship.

With that, the risk would be minimized.

That task, naturally, had been given to his disciple.

Gobta.

"Hey, Shirou. Good evening!"

A loud, cheerful voice suddenly rang out.

A golden-haired man appeared before Emiya Shirou, his presence filling the room.

"Oh, it's Veldora."

Emiya Shirou looked at him with some surprise.

"What are you doing here at this hour?"

Ever since Rimuru released Veldora, the Storm Dragon had immediately come looking for Emiya Shirou.

Calling him brother.

Demanding food.

According to Veldora, even though he could see Rimuru's memories, he couldn't actually taste anything. Whenever Rimuru ate, he would be stuck inside her body, stomping around impatiently.

That was why, the moment he was freed, he rushed over to Emiya Shirou.

To eat.

Thanks to that, and Emiya Shirou's cooking, their relationship had grown rapidly.

Now, they were quite close.

"I'm just tagging along," Veldora said with a grin.

"The one who really wants to see you is Rimuru."

"Rimuru?"

Emiya Shirou frowned slightly.

"Didn't she just leave?"

"That's why," Veldora replied.

At that moment, Rimuru stepped out from behind him.

Her expression was serious.

"Shirou," she said.

"There's something important I need to ask you."

She met his gaze directly.

"Will you come with me to the Demon Lords' Banquet?"
