At midnight.
The aura exuded by Matou Residence in this world is very familiar to Shinji. It is an aura that he has been accustomed to since he can remember.
Cold, eerie, isolated.
From the Magecraft barrier, you can even feel something decaying day by day...
It was discovered that Kariya was still in his room in the house at this time. Shinji, who had not yet arrived for the summoning time, did not enter immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked for the familiar placed nearby outside the house.
The five artificially placed surveillance familiars correspond to Tohsaka Residence, Einzbern Family (Miyu), Little Cutie (Waver Velvet) and Kayneth.
Secretly and from a blind spot, he quickly and accurately eliminated the five familiars placed nearby. After confirming that there was no surveillance sight within a three-kilometer radius, Shinji pressed the brim of his hat (Hades's Cloak of Invisibility) and quietly entered his home in this world.
There was still some time before the best moment to summon, so Shinji decided to first find the Brain Worm body of Zouken at this time, and set up Spiritual Energy Bomb around Brain Worm in advance for Brain Worm.
Spiritual Energy Bomb——This is after Shinji got the new System... well, actually it has nothing to do with the new System. It is a new trick that Shinji himself figured out recently.
To put it simply, the Inner Core in the body is taken out of the body and compressed, and then a layer of solid Mental Barrier is added.
This small Inner Core group or Spiritual Energy group can exist in World of the Living for up to two hours.
Of course, only energy cannot be called a bomb. It must also have explosion conditions and fuses. Of course, there are explosion conditions, and that is the simplest principle of balloon explosion.
The lead is Mental Thread, and its function is to instantly pierce the barrier and cause an explosion.
Of course, this is also somewhat dangerous. After all, Mental Thread is connected to the owner. If the connection is not cut off at the moment the fuse is ignited, the owner's spirit may also be damaged.
This move requires precise timing.
In the end, Shinji found Brain Worm in Zouken's room, which was sleeping in an old wooden box hidden deep in the room and isolated from the outside world from Magecraft.
Spiritual Energy Bomb was carefully set up and disguised, and Shinji, who felt that the time was almost up, did not waste any extra time, but walked straight towards the second floor.
This home, like the original home in the other world, has a passage to the basement from the second floor.
In the corridor, after a year of "exercise", Kariya, who had completely lost the vision in his left eye yesterday, finally "ran into" Sakura, who happened to be walking by and was frightened by his appearance just after walking out of the door.
Although he was a little discouraged because he had unknowingly turned into the being that Sakura was afraid of, Kariya, who knew that there was nothing he could do about it, forced himself to show an expression that he thought was quite relaxed.
Of course, in the eyes of Sakura, it is not easy. Because most of the nerves on the left side of the face have been necrotic, only the right side of the face shows emotion, so the relaxed expression looks very strange.
"Hey, Sakura, did you scare me?"
When Shinji came to the corridor on the second floor, what he saw was Kariya who was kneeling on the ground, gently holding Sakura's shoulders with his flexible right arm, comforting the young girl, and crying silently.
Kariya's reason for choosing this way of hugging was also clear to Shinji - he was worried about being seen crying by Sakura.
"... Then, let's take Tohsaka Residence's Aunt Aoi and Little Rin, uncle and Sakura, and the four of us will go to a distant place together and play together like before."
"——Can I still see them?" The young girl, whose eyes were lifeless and empty as a doll, asked softly.
Kariya's heart suddenly clenched, and he hugged Sakura tightly.
"Well, we will definitely see you, uncle, I promise you."
"So is my brother."
The sudden stranger's voice suddenly shocked Kariya. He raised his right hand and protected Sakura behind his back before even wiping away his tears.
You can sneak into Master Magecraft's home quietly without alerting the other party. You can never be an enemy of such a guy!
Kariya made a judgment in an instant, but because there was Sakura beside him, even if he could only buy a second for the little girl to escape, he would still fight with his life!
Kariya, who didn't even have time to see the opponent's face clearly, was instantly ready to wake up the circuits in his body and fight to the death with the opponent. He was suddenly stunned when he saw a document that looked like a student ID that the opponent stretched out in front of him.
The boy's hair and eye color in the photo...
Between...Matou...Shinji...?
"Uh...?"
Looking at Kariya with a question mark on his face, Shinji squatted down, rubbed the little head of Sakura who was hiding behind Kariya, and then raised his eyes at the two of them and smiled.
"Long time no see, Uncle Kariya."
"You are..."
"Anyway, let's talk about it later, Zouken, leave it to me. From now on, Uncle Kariya, please pay attention to the people outside. Absolutely, absolutely don't let a bug escape! Leave the matters inside to me."
"No, what are you..."
"Didn't I already show it to you?"
With that said, Shinji threw the student ID card in his hand to Kariya, then stood up and slowly walked towards the entrance of the basement.
However, when he walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something, stopped and turned around to make a silent gesture to the two of them.
Until Shinji disappeared through the door, Kariya was still in a daze. After picking up the student handbook, he looked at it several times again.
"Uncle, that is..."
Listening to the little girl's question and looking at the name column marked "Shinji Matou" in the student handbook, I gradually thought of the incredible possibility of Kariya and smiled softly.
"Maybe it's the big brother..."
"Big brother?" Sakura was a little confused.
"Anyway, Sakura, please go back to your room first. Uncle has something else to do. Also, no matter what you hear, don't come out for a while."
After waving and smiling as Sakura left, Kariya stood up.
After hesitating for a few seconds between the direction leading to the basement door and the direction leading to the stairs leading to the first floor, he still chose the latter, dragging his half-finished body and moved bit by bit towards the direction of the stairs.
At this moment, Kariya chose to believe in the incredible miracle that appeared in front of him.
Kariya, standing outside the gate, raised his right arm and followed the instructions of the strange boy, guarding his own boundary and guarding against insects that might escape at any time.
Although he couldn't hear the sound in the house, Kariya could feel his Magecraft barrier shaking, and it was shaking unusually.
And Kariya also knows what this kind of vibration means - the two sides have begun fighting!
At this time, Kariya had no intention of paying attention or guessing the boy's identity, but put all his attention on the barrier in front of him.
Can't... not a single bug escape!
It took about thirty minutes for the vibration of the barrier to finally stop.
Kariya, who didn't know the outcome of the battle, did not step into his home, but remained on guard——
It wasn't until the boy opened the door and appeared in the entrance hall with a woman wearing a crown, long purple hair, a quiver on her back and a steel crossbow in her hand that Kariya breathed a sigh of relief.
After waving to Kariya, Shinji turned around and re-entered the house.
Kariya, who was standing outside the gate, hesitated for a while, took out the student handbook given by the other party and put it in his pocket, opened it with one hand, checked the photo and name again, and then pushed the door open as if he was lost.
In the living room on the second floor, Shinji was sitting on the sofa and couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't even know how to express his feelings at the moment.
Of course, it cannot be denied that he was indeed careless.
I thought I could simply crush the opponent based on Zouken's weaknesses, but I didn't expect the opponent to be so decisive. He used his manager's authority to forcefully summon Servant without waiting for him to say anything!
Moreover, the Mad Enhancement spell was added to directly summon Berserker!
Shinji also understands the other party's purpose of summoning Berserker, which is to give Berserker Lancelot's ownership back to Kariya after killing him as the intruder, so that Kariya can continue to participate in Holy Grail War as planned!
If it weren't for Archer Queen's Character Card, I would have really overturned.
It's not a matter of death, it's just that you can't kill the opponent and you need to run away.
"Come back, now I don't have Life Force that allows you to stay in World of the Living."
As soon as Shinji finished speaking, the body of Archer Queen standing aside turned into points of light that gathered in Shinji's hands little by little and finally turned into a Character Card.
After seeing that the original golden dots on the back of Character Card turned into two, Shinji shook his head helplessly.
I was indeed a little careless this time. It would have been better if I had been more cautious.
I used Character Card once out of three times. In order to charge Black Arrow, Archer Queen's ultimate move to kill Berserker, the Life Force given by Golden Apple was basically used.
I... seems like I just got the title of Silk Blood Start.
However, I don't know why.
At this moment, Shinji's heartbeat suddenly accelerated because of the bloody start...
I might as well be a pervert!
I'm so excited about the bloody start!
Shinji also forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, calmed down his mood a little, and then spoke to Kariya who was sitting on the sofa opposite.
"Long time no see, Uncle Kariya."
"Are you... really Shinji?"
"There is no doubt about it, but you can think that I am Shinji Matou from Parallel World."
Before coming to the living room, Kariya had already gone to see the basement. After seeing the horrible situation of the collapsed basement, he roughly guessed what happened - Zouken had been solved by this young man.
"Uh..." After forcing himself to digest such an incredible thing, Kariya asked again, "Is that woman just now... your Servant?"
"No, it's something else. Zouken just made a desperate move and summoned Servant. I can only fight with something similar."
"Zouken He summoned Servant?!" Kariya was a little unbelievable.
"Looking at the back of your hand, Zouken just took advantage of the administrator's authority loophole and summoned Servant instead of your qualification to participate in the battle on behalf of the Matou Family."
It was only then that Kariya noticed that Command Spells on the back of his hand had disappeared...
