Many readers seem to think that my next book will be a different Tokyo Tea Saint, and some readers have even started discussing it in the QQ group.
In fact, that is just one of the alternatives, it could also be this one.

On the outskirts of London, England, the girl looked at the clock tower behind her, clenched the sacred relic in her hand, gritted her teeth, and turned away resolutely.
Ellie, Velvet, considers herself a genius.
But with only three generations of magicians in her family, she was scorned by her mentors Alice, El-Melloi, and Archibald, and ignored the thesis she had devoted so much effort to writing.
The Clock Tower is a holy place for magicians, with countless famous families who are sixth-generation magicians and above. They are proud of their continuous accumulation and expansion of the number of magic circuits and the density of engravings that have been passed down from generation to generation.
But Ellie doesn't think so. She believes more in her deep understanding of magic and her proficiency in using magic than in the magic circuits accumulated over generations.
She wanted to prove herself, and there was an opportunity right in front of her.

Alice, El-Melloi, and Archibald shook their heads, a little annoyed.
Her things were stolen, and the thief was her disciple Ellie, Velvet, a commoner who likes to show off his cleverness.
Alice is a family of magicians that has lasted for nine generations, the head of the Archibald family, one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, and the monarch of the El-Melloi faction. She has proud talents and achievements.
She didn't care about the boring Holy Grail War in the Far East. She only participated in it to fill in an anecdote about military achievements on her resume.
But even this small request was sabotaged by a little bastard who doesn't know the bounds of justice.
Alice picked up the red wine glass in her hand and shook it gently. What was originally a dispensable game now has the motivation to participate.
She wanted to catch the thief and wash away the shame. First, she needed to prepare a new holy relic.
The door was lightly knocked twice, and an unusually handsome young man walked straight in with his chin held high, as if he was in a deserted place, like a big rooster patrolling his territory.
The coldness in Alice's eyes dissipated and turned into a hint of tenderness.
"Dear Saul, my fiancé, what can I do for you?"
Sol, Nazelay, Sofiali, the ice beauty of the Sofiali family, the young man mocked coldly.
"Alice, I heard that your disciple stole the holy relics you prepared?"
Alice sighed.
"I didn't expect this news to have reached your ears. It really embarrasses me.
Ellie, Ellie, how should I punish this dirty little gopher."
Thor said seriously.
"I don't care what you plan to do with that disciple. I just want to know, will you still participate in the Holy Grail War?"
Alice said solemnly.
"Of course, my Thor.
I will use this military merit as an embellishment for your and my wedding. It is just a lost holy relic and will not affect my victory."
Sol looked at her and said.
"But I heard that it was the holy relic that you finally obtained."
Alice said.
"For the Holy Grail War in the Far East, I originally wanted to summon heroes from the Far East, whose magic power is more suitable for local operations.
However, it doesn’t matter. Even if I use other holy relics, victory will still be in my possession, and there is no harm in it.”
Sol glanced at her suspiciously and said.
"As far as I know, that holy relic is extraordinary."
Alice nodded and said.
"Indeed, I spent a lot of effort to get it from the nobles in the Far East.
It is the holy relic of the Benevolent Army God of the Far East. It is said that it is stained with the blood of his opponents and retainers. He is an extremely powerful figure.
But please rest assured that the strength of the Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War is not determined by the Heroic Spirits themselves. Ellie's weak magic power cannot support the huge consumption of the Heroic Spirits with all their strength."
Thor asked.
"I can understand the blood of my opponent, but what does the blood of my retainer mean?"
Alice raised her glass of wine attentively and said.
"It doesn't matter, I will dedicate the victory to you, my beloved Thor."
Sol nodded and stopped talking. Facing Alice's enthusiasm, he would always look cold. Because he knew that this was not love, he was just a victim of the marriage between two families.

In the far east of Japan, deep in the woods near a rural village in Fuyuki City, Ellie carefully placed the sacred relic in her hand on the altar.
It was a piece of human skin the size of half a finger. It had some wrinkles and couldn't tell where the skin was. But Ellie knew that this holy relic must be part of the heroic spirit's body.
She carefully drew the magic circle, tensed up, and used chicken blood to repeat the pattern she had practiced countless times, turning it into a summoning circle.
The chanting triggered the response of three command spells on the back of her hand, and the magic circuits throughout her body produced bursts of chills and pain. Ellie endured the chanting to finish the spell.
"You are beneath me, and I entrust my fate to your sword."
Follow the call of the Holy Grail. If you follow this will and the laws of heaven, you will answer immediately."
The wind followed the dragon, the clouds followed the tiger, and the color of the sky and the earth changed. The magic array in front of me suddenly lit up, and a figure appeared in the dazzling light.
He was wearing a white hunting coat with a feather-shaped outer fabric. He had stunning beauty and an inviolable temperament.
Ellie put her head in her hands and stirred her hair in disbelief.
"Why? Why a boy?
The person I summoned is clearly the founder of the Shiba Shogunate, a direct descendant of Kawachi Genji, the pillar of the samurai family, and the shogunate Yoshigan Shiba!"
Opening his eyes, Yiyin helplessly looked back at the explosive skin on the altar. The sacred relic that had pierced countless opponents and retainers was his holy explosive skin.
Yiyin looked at the collapsed Ellie and said calmly.
"Let me ask you, are you my Master?"
