Shinji can see that after a full year of "exercise", Kariya's body functions as a normal person have been mostly disabled.
Kariya's ability to walk and speak at this time is another result of training - Magecraft's identity as a teacher is supporting his body functions that are completely broken as a "human".
Because even functions such as chewing and swallowing are no longer possible, the most so-called meals are liquid food, or intravenous injection of some nutritional solutions.
Shinji It is hard to imagine what kind of will it takes for this ordinary person who has never had much contact with Magecraft to endure such inhumane training for a whole year.
Anyway, if you replace yourself with Kariya, you will never be able to do it.
Opposite Shinji, Kariya looked down at the back of his pale hands, feeling confused, feeling surprised, disappointed, and even a little lost.
The emergence of Shinji has changed the trajectory of many things.
Originally, Kariya didn't care anymore. He had decided to leave his life to Sakura and Aoi.
The most worrying thing is that he will die before he wins and obtains Holy Grail. The next thing is that when he obtains Holy Grail and returns the girl named Sakura to her mother, the girl's heart has been completely closed, causing her whole life to be shrouded in the shadow of "despair".
But now...
Although he could see the complicated mood of Kariya at this time, Shinji did not point it out, but smiled slightly, "Uncle Kariya, are you still doubting my identity? Then I will prove it a little bit."
"No..." Kariya raised his head, and as soon as he spoke his words of defense, he saw the young man closing his eyes and speaking with emotion on his face——
"... Just because this princess was not the one he wanted to redeem, he did not feel nostalgic, but said goodbye resolutely, carrying the heavy magic sword on his back, and embarked on the journey again.
He stepped into the wind and sand, his back looking like a lone wolf. He knew that the princess whom he had redeemed was standing on the city wall, lovingly and reluctantly watching his back...
But so what? Although she is also a princess, she is not the princess in her heart, so she will not stop because of her...
"What a stupid woman..."
In the wind and sand that filled the sky, there was only one sentence left behind. I don't know who it was addressed to... the man's soft sigh. "
Listening to Shinji's sincere confession, the more Kariya listened, the more familiar he felt. This plot, this writing style...
Looking at Kariya, whose expression was getting weirder and weirder, before the other party could speak, Shinji snapped his fingers and was the first to say the answer, "That's right! It's your masterpiece - "Dark Demon Sword Master Kariya"!
Also, this is my favorite plot. On the way to save the princess he loves, the protagonist accidentally rescues another princess and escorts this princess back to his country.
Then he ignored her admiration for him during the journey, and even resolutely refused the princess's offer to stay! Like a lone wolf, I embarked on my journey again! Alas, it's really impressive..."
Looking at Shinji who had his legs crossed and a look of emotion on his face again, Kariya really wanted to touch Teuchi, or find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
How on earth was my dark history uncovered by this kid?
"It's such a pity that such a book cannot be published. I guess Uncle Kariya feels the same way, right? But don't worry! In my world, this book has been made into a movie, and it will be released across Asia next month!"
"Pfft!"
No matter how much he pretended not to care about Kariya, when he heard this, he lost his composure and spurted out a mouthful of old blood!
——It's real blood.
"Stop, stop! I believe it, I believe it! Stop talking!"
"Also, don't worry about copyright issues. I put your name at the very beginning of the movie! The eye-catching white body with black background takes up the entire big screen!"
"Ahem..."
Kariya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the corner of his right eye couldn't stop twitching. The son of his biological eldest brother would become so unbeatable in the future... Although he had a bad temperament when he was a child.
"Okay, the jokes are over, it's time to get down to business."
"It turned out to be a joke..." Kariya patted his chest, still feeling frightened.
"Of course it's a joke. In fact, the movie adaptation of Demon Swordsman Kallia was released last month, not the so-called next month."
"Poof!" Kariya spat out a mouthful of old blood again. Why is this guy so unworthy of being a nephew?
"Want to hear the audience's reaction? I have first-hand information here!"
"No need!" Kariya raised his hand and loudly stopped Shinji, "Hurry up and talk about your so-called business!"
In fact, originally Shinji didn't want to show up and communicate with Kariya, but the moment he saw Kariya hugging Sakura and crying silently, he couldn't help showing up.
What I originally thought was that after I finished Zouken, I would let Kariya summon Berserker Lancelot according to the plan, and then I would be able to get to the end easily with my own guidance.
Trap a few more people along the way, hurry up and get Holy Grail, and then use the almost infinite magic power given by Holy Grail to help Kariya heal his body or something.
But I didn't expect that Old Bug doesn't follow martial ethics! He actually used his authority as a manager to directly snatch Kariya's representative Matou's qualification to participate in the war!
Although I tried my best to solve the bug and Berserker Lancelot, but now I have a major problem in front of me——
Kariya lost the qualification to participate in the war and could no longer summon Servant. Berserker Lancelot was killed by himself in advance along with Zouken, and it was impossible to re-contract with Kariya.
And he himself is the Master of Rider in the original world. It is impossible and unconditional to summon a new Servant in this world.
Of course, not to mention that I don't have much Life Force left and I can't provide enough magic power for Servant.
In the end, after much thought, Shinji decided to explain the situation to Kariya in this world first, otherwise the other party might do some thankless behavior again.
"Shen...Shinji..."
"In this world, just call me Shinji. After all, there is another Shinji Matou in this world."
As he spoke, Shinji dipped his index finger in tea and wrote the two Chinese characters "Shinji" on the table. Although they have the same pronunciation, they are two completely different characters.
"Okay, Shinji, I understand the general situation, which means that I no longer have the qualifications to summon Servant to participate in Holy Grail War, and your purpose is to win Holy Grail War and come to this world that is similar to your world in the past but is subtly different, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"So you will participate in Holy Grail War..."
"Anyway, before the old... Tsuruno-san comes back, you can use Matou's power to help me a little bit. Because the plan has been disrupted, now I need to re-formulate the Minotaur plan, and this plan needs a little help from Matou."
"Tauren? What is that?"
"Don't worry, remember the name I said, ask them to help in the name of Matou, and be sure to keep it secret. First of all, Kobayashi Family from the next city, you can use the free use of the spiritual land for one year to ask them to help, and..."
"No, please slow down, I can't remember."
After listening to Shinji speak very clearly one after another of family names and family locations that were strange to him, Kariya was also a little stunned. His eldest nephew in another world must also know his own business too clearly!
After writing down all the names mentioned by Shinji, Kariya asked the final question.
"Shinji, what are you... going to ask them to do for you?"
"Let them help me make up a reasonable identity in this world."
"Just a reasonable identity?"
Kariya is a little confused. It's just an identity. Why do you need help from so many Magecraft families?
"Uncle Kariya, it's better to be cautious, because this time Holy Grail War has a lot of Gyuki snake gods. If you just fool them casually, it is very possible for them to get involved. If you want to do this kind of thing, you must do it seamlessly."
Although Kariya didn't quite understand, he nodded in agreement, but then he showed a bit of embarrassment. "However, I may not be able to speak about this kind of family matter. Zouken usually does it with your father...Tsuruno,"
"Don't worry. Now that Zouken is gone, Tsuruno-san can't beat you. After asking for contact information, just use Zouken's name and let them do it."
Seeing Shinji who said such words indifferently and casually, Kariya also felt that his eldest nephew in another world was just like him, and he was probably not a child with a loving father and a filial son.
"Then, last but not least, Uncle Kariya, you probably can't wait to send Sakura back to her mother, right?"
Kariya, who had seen through, did not deny it, but nodded very seriously. "Yes, although I may not be able to personally kill the culprit who caused Aoi pain in Holy Grail War, but... at least I want Sakura to return to Aoi and Little Rin!"
"Calm down first and let me analyze it for you. And you'd better not do that now. Even if you send Sakura back, Tokiomi Tohsaka will soon be sent to another Magecraft family. Moreover, he may become angry because Matou has torn up the contract again and start a war with Matou."
"He..."
Seeing Kariya who was instantly excited, Shinji was also a little helpless, so he could only put an end to Teuchi's words and clearly tell the reasons for Sakura's inevitable fate one by one.
After learning these various reasons that ordinary people would never imagine, Kariya's eyes flashed with some struggle, and his clenched right fist could not stop shaking.
"... In other words, because of Sakura's own Magecraft qualifications and Magecraft attributes, no matter what, Sakura can't escape the fate of being sent away by that bastard and facing the separation of mother and daughter?"
"Yeah, but if it were another family, Sakura's treatment might be different, and it might be much better."
"Tch!" Kariya spat bitterly, and then said bitterly, "No matter what the reason is, a father who can't even protect his daughter is not a father at all! I absolutely cannot agree that breaking up Aoi and Sakura, mother and daughter, in the name of protection is the right thing to do! Absolutely!"
