After handing the doctor's notes to Shiho Miyano, Emiya left with the Youth Potion she had just completed.
He delivered it to those who needed it.
Then he returned to the Akame ga Kill! world.
Strictly speaking, whether Emiya stayed in that world or not didn't matter much anymore.
Wu Zetian had already brought the Empire onto the right track.
Esdeath had gone to suppress the rebellion.
Once the fighting ended, the Empire would be completely stable.
As for the remaining issues, they were minor.
They would resolve themselves over time.
Still, Emiya returned.
There were a few loose ends to deal with.
The next day, he summoned the minister to the palace.
He demanded the final supreme Teigu under the minister's control.
The Ultimate Teigu.
The first Teigu ever created.
And the strongest.
In a sense, it was a mobile weapon system.
Emiya was very interested.
Faced with the command, the minister did not dare refuse.
After hesitating several times, he led Emiya, Hephaestus, Karyuusai Shouko, Medea, and the others to the highest floor of the palace.
It was a vast space.
The surrounding walls were arranged like a massive grid.
The floor was formed from circular platforms.
At the center stood an enormous platform.
The supreme Teigu rested there.
They ascended the steps.
Following the minister's instructions, Emiya activated it.
Normally, only those of imperial blood could use it.
But when Emiya transformed, he had used a drop of the young emperor's blood as a medium.
In theory, that meant he possessed imperial blood.
Activation posed no problem.
That was the power of shapeshifting magic.
The moment the Teigu activated, its functions and power flooded into Emiya's mind.
"Oh."
In that instant, Emiya understood.
Shikoutazer truly deserved its reputation.
Its power was terrifying.
Even so, he activated it.
The space trembled.
A gigantic mechanical head emerged before him.
Shikoutazer's head alone was larger than a house.
That alone conveyed its scale.
After a brief hesitation, Emiya stopped.
He didn't fully activate it.
It was simply too big.
Nearly a hundred meters tall.
If fully deployed, the palace would be damaged beyond repair.
So Emiya deactivated it and handed control to Hephaestus.
She, Medea, and Karyuusai Shouko were all deeply interested in it.
After handing it over, Emiya left with the minister.
As for the requirement of imperial blood, that wasn't an issue for Hephaestus.
A minor lock like that was trivial to bypass.
Outside, the minister bowed and took his leave.
Emiya didn't stop him.
The minister's fate had already been decided.
Once Esdeath finished suppressing the rebels, Emiya would throw him to the people.
Let them vent their hatred.
It was the most fitting end.
But the next morning, something unexpected happened.
The minister did not appear at court.
At first, Emiya assumed he was late.
But even after the meeting ended, the minister was still nowhere to be seen.
That was unusual.
Emiya ordered someone to investigate.
The report he received was interesting.
The minister had disappeared.
When the investigator arrived at the minister's residence, the butler claimed the minister was ill.
A visit was requested.
The butler agreed.
They knocked.
No response.
Curious, the butler opened the door.
The room was clean.
Empty.
No one on the bed.
They searched the entire estate.
Nothing.
All valuables were gone.
The minister had vanished.
Emiya was surprised.
Had he realized something and fled?
It was possible.
The man valued his life.
In the original story, he had even trained himself to survive.
Running away when danger approached wasn't strange.
But Emiya wouldn't allow it.
A nationwide manhunt was issued immediately.
At the same time, Emiya ordered the arrest and execution of all officials tied to the minister.
Their positions were filled quickly.
There was no shortage of people eager to rise.
The minister's remaining forces resisted.
Briefly.
Under the Imperial Capital's security force-led by Heracles-they were crushed instantly.
They didn't even make a ripple.
After a short disturbance, the capital returned to normal.
The only regret was that the minister himself remained unfound.
He had likely already fled the city.
Even so, Emiya wasn't worried.
The bounty was high.
Anyone-even those without personal grudges-would be tempted.
The minister had enemies everywhere.
That was why he hadn't fled earlier.
But now, knowing Emiya intended to kill him, he had chosen to run.
His remaining life would be spent in hiding.
Or he would be captured and dragged back.
On the third day after the bounty was issued, Shiho Miyano @ed Emiya.
"I've finished what you wanted."
Emiya immediately used his ability.
He went straight to the One Piece world.
To Dr. Kureha's castle.
Shiho Miyano handed him a vial of blue liquid.
"This is it."
"Have you tested it?" Emiya asked.
"Not yet," she replied.
"But based on the data, it has no strong side effects. At the very least, it doesn't fear sunlight."
Emiya considered it.
"Let's find a pirate to test it on."
Shiho didn't object.
"Alright."
They left the castle and went to Mock Town.
A place swarming with pirates.
After arriving, Emiya casually grabbed one and returned.
There was no guilt.
Few pirates there were innocent.
The pirate struggled at first.
It was useless.
Emiya overpowered him easily.
Without explanation, Emiya forced the medicine down his throat.
"How do you feel?" Shiho asked flatly.
The pirate shook his head.
Nothing.
"Answer honestly," Emiya said.
"Or I'll get rough."
The pirate panicked.
"I'm telling the truth! I really don't feel anything. What did you give me?"
Shiho spoke calmly.
"It seems the effect is gradual. We'll need long-term observation."
"Alright."
They observed.
She was right.
The medicine slowly altered the pirate's body.
On the first day, he became extremely energetic.
No craving for flesh.
No fear of sunlight.
More importantly, his vitality skyrocketed.
Every cell was active.
His growth potential skyrocketed as well.
With training, he could easily break past his limits.
Five times the results.
Maybe ten.
And then came the crucial discovery.
His telomeres were unaffected by cell division.
Normally, telomeres shorten.
Cells age.
Life ends.
But now-
No matter how many times his cells divided, his lifespan didn't shorten.
Which meant only one thing.
Immortality.
This was why Muzan Kibutsuji had lived for over a thousand years.
Emiya was satisfied.
After confirming there were no side effects, he dealt with the pirate.
A bloodthirsty pirate becoming immortal would be a joke.
And Emiya would never allow that joke to exist.
