Short form of all that happened in the last 70 chapters: Apocrypha ending, El-Melloi II videos focusing on the Spiritual Tomb of Albion (Heartless backstory). The final video showed Jeanne and Sieg's happy ending.

[This round of quizzes is now complete. Please look forward to the next one.]
Seeing this, Chihiro immediately closed the Q&A group.
As expected, a shrill scream echoed just before the group disappeared from view.
Bluebeard: "NOOOO—"
Now, all they could hear was a persistent ringing.
It seemed the group had temporarily fallen into Bluebeard's grasp… probably best to avoid it for today.
Instead, Chihiro turned his attention to something far more important, opening his golden treasure chest.
["Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Noble Phantasm—King's Treasure!"]
"!!!"
Chihiro stared at the golden key in his hand with a complicated expression.
Checking the description, he quickly realized this wasn't a full treasury, just an empty one. He would have to fill it up himself.
A pity. He had wanted to be as rich as Gilgamesh for once.
But then again, it wasn't a total loss. An extra-large portable storage space was still useful.
His inventory had been growing, and even the storage gourd his master had given him was reaching its limit.
"Is that Goldie's key?"
Iskandar had finally recovered from the earlier auditory assault and curiously eyed the key in Chihiro's hand.
"Yeah, it's the Noble Phantasm version."
Chihiro explained its function.
"You're one lucky brat."
Iskandar smirked and picked up his own silver treasure chest.
"Let's see if I can steal some of that luck."
["Ding! Congratulations to the group member for obtaining the Magic Item—Stylish Deep Crimson? Necktie!"]
"..."
Iskandar stared at the red tie in his hands, utterly speechless.
After checking it thoroughly, he confirmed, it was just a regular tie.
What magic item?!
Chihiro burst into laughter.
"Oh no, isn't this Zhang Jiao's Valentine's Day return gift? Just a yellow tie dyed red, completely useless!"
Iskandar's luck was truly… astonishing.
To avoid the same fate, Artoria carefully opened her own chest.
["Ding! Congratulations to the group member for obtaining the Bond Gift—Crown of the Star!"]
"..."
She silently stared at the golden crown in her hands.
So, it was this.
She could feel it, wearing this crown would push her strength to its absolute peak.
But—she couldn't.
The shadow of Camlann still loomed over her.
She wasn't worthy of wearing it.
["Ding! Congratulations to the group member for obtaining the Mystic Code—Dragonkin!"]
The First Emperor held up the ceremonial robe in his hands with a look of mild disappointment.
The effect was interesting, it allowed the user to summon a mighty dragon for battle.
"Here, kid. You take it."
Without hesitation, the First Emperor tossed the Dragonkin to Chihiro.
Chihiro, equally without hesitation, accepted it.
With this… when he was short on materials in the future, could he.
Ahem. Best not to think about that right now.
Meanwhile—
Gilgamesh had finally returned from his high-speed ride outside.
His expression, however, was rather dark.
Bluebeard's sudden shriek had nearly made him crash.
Even though no one had seen, the mere possibility of looking foolish was unacceptable.
Next time they met, he was going to turn Bluebeard into dust.
"Hah! You, a mere mongrel, actually acquired a piece of my treasury?!"
Hearing that Chihiro had drawn his Noble Phantasm, Gilgamesh looked displeased but only mildly.
"Hmph! Consider yourself fortunate, mongrel. Use it well, and do not tarnish its dignity."
Chihiro: "…"
This wasn't right!
Where was the usual Gilgamesh reaction?!
Why wasn't he furious?! Had someone replaced him?!
Noticing Chihiro's suspicious gaze, a vein bulged on Gilgamesh's forehead.
Perhaps it would be better to just beat this mongrel up.
"Hey, Gilgamesh," Iskandar smirked, sensing an opportunity, "we've all opened our treasure chests. You're the only one left."
Having suffered the worst luck today, Iskandar was eager to find someone else to take the fall.
Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes, he sensed bad intentions.
But so what?
Did this fool actually believe his luck could be any worse?
With absolute confidence, he opened his chest.
["Ding! Congratulations to the group member for obtaining the Heroic Spirit Formal Dress—Gilgamesh!"]
Iskandar: "…"
WHY?!
Gilgamesh got an entire set of clothes, while he only got a tie?!
(To be continued.)
