Kariya Matou, a man who has been exposed to it since childhood and is extremely disgusted with the inhumanity of Magecraft.
Nine years ago, this man used his own will (his rejection of Magecraft) to face Zouken with fearless eyes. In exchange, he escaped from Magecraft and gained the identity and life of an ordinary person.
But all of this was abandoned by him from the moment he learned a year ago that the woman he loved deeply and believed she would find true happiness fell into the separation of mother and daughter.
"... Is this really good?"
Kariya asked the woman he once deeply admired twice in the same tough tone.
The first time was nine years ago, the night before that woman was given the surname Tohsaka.
Yan Yoruichi will never forget what she looked like at that time.
Feixia felt a little embarrassed and a little sorry, but her face was stained with crimson, and she nodded as if she was embarrassed.
Facing that noble smile, Kariya was defeated.
And it was precisely because of believing in that smile that Kariya was willing to admit defeat.
The man who decided to marry Aoi, maybe he (Tokiomi Tohsaka) is the only one who can bring her happiness.
Obviously I believe so...
The second time was a year ago. After she revealed the news (Sakura was adopted to the Matou Family) after not seeing her for a long time, he looked directly into her eyes again and asked her again with some seriousness.
"... Is this really good?"
"... I have been mentally prepared... it is impossible to pursue even the most ordinary family happiness..."
This was the woman's answer. She averted her eyes and only left her profile to herself. Even though she was hiding it, something was still exposed by the glint in the corner of her eye.
The same question, but not the same answer.
On that day nine years ago, when she accepted the young Magecraft master's proposal, her smile was clearly full of hope for happiness.
But that Q&A a year ago was...
Kariya knew that he was wrong, and he should not have made that fatal mistake, because he should have understood firsthand what Magecraft is than anyone else.
The so-called Magecraft is so disgusting and should be spurned.
It was precisely because he understood this that Kariya rejected his fate, said goodbye to his brothers and left here.
Some people may say that these things have nothing to do with him, but the problem is that he acquiesced.
He knew how terrifying Magecraft was, and he chose to escape because of fear... but he just gave up his most important girl to the Magecraft division among the Magecraft divisions.
At that moment a year ago, Kariya was burning with endless regret!
Time and time again, he said the wrong thing.
At that moment nine years ago, he should not have asked "Is this really good?", but should have firmly told her "This is not okay!"
If he had said this that day nine years ago and not let Aoi go - maybe today would be different.
If she had not married Tohsaka at that time, she might have been insulated from the cursed fate of Master Magecraft and lived the most ordinary life.
If he hadn't questioned the decision between Tohsaka and Matou so fiercely in the park that day - maybe she would only be sad for a long time, maybe she would forget about it as a sarcastic comment, but even so, this was the first time he saw Aoi blaming herself so much.
Without those words, she wouldn't be so sad that she would have to hold back her tears.
Kariya Can't forgive myself, can't forgive myself for making mistakes again and again.
In order to punish himself, he decided to return to this old place of farewell-Matou Residence. Kariya knows very well that here, there is a way to repay one's fault——
The world that I once escaped from. The fate of escaping to protect yourself.
Just for the only woman in the world who doesn't want to make her cry.
As a young man who has never been trained by Magecraft and has some Magecraft qualifications, it stands to reason that there is absolutely no way he can survive the one-year inhumane torture in order to obtain the qualification to participate in Holy Grail War.
But Kariya managed to hold on.
The reason is only understood by a few people, including Shinji and Zouken.
His own spirit (soul) activated an emergency defense mechanism in order to avoid death, and his regret for himself turned into hatred for himself. At the same time, his hatred for Zouken and Tokiomi Tohsaka were also extremely distorted by this emergency defense.
The twisted hatred towards himself, Zouken, and Tokiomi allowed him to survive in that purgatory, and it also allowed him to endure the pain of his body being eaten by Imprint Worm.
But now, Shinji from another world suddenly appeared, the fate of the girl was suddenly changed, and Zouken was suddenly sent away by the boy.
Yan Yoruichi didn't know what to do. Something that had never been imagined before - the outline of the word "future" emerged in front of his eyes little by little.
However, even so, the inner distortion inside has been shrinking little by little due to the sudden changes in the past few days, like a spring that has been stretched to the extreme and is about to lose its elasticity completely.
But he still couldn't forgive himself and Tokiomi. The hatred for himself and Tokiomi even swallowed him up in his sleep!
"What should I..."
As Miss Yanzi held her head, countless scenes flashed through her mind, including the mother and daughter playing in the park like before, Tokiomi Tohsaka personally taking Sakura away from Rin and Aoi, and herself watching from a distance, unable to do anything but clenching her fists...
"Aunt Yanzi?"
Miss Yanzi, whose fists were clenched tighter and tighter, and her whole body was sinking deeper and deeper, was awakened by the little girl's voice.
"I'm hungry..."
Looking at the little girl who was a little frightened because of the possibly scary expression she just showed, Yanzi also smiled quickly and stood up, "Sakura, wait for a while, uncle... aunt will go and make delicious food for you two."
The moment he turned around, Kariya made a decision in his heart because of the little girl just now, and he wanted to...
At ten o'clock in the night, after receiving a call from Kariya to the hotel room, Shinji came to the window again, sighing softly and showing a bit of helplessness.
This uncle of mine didn't do anything stupid in a fit of enthusiasm, which is worthy of recognition, but it can't be considered a big growth, it can only be regarded as a small growth... No, maybe it can't be called growth. It should be said that it is gradually getting closer to the Kariya of the past.
Although I was a little disappointed, I originally hoped that Kariya would be more decisive and tough, ignore Kirie's words without asking myself, and choose a new path by myself, but now, it is still a little lacking.
But Shinji also understands that Kariya has done a good job, at least it is much better than hiding it from his mind (hatred for Tokiomi breaks through his mind) and then being treated as a toy by Kirie.
In that case, there really is no future at all.
There is really no future for the woman he loves deeply and wants her to be happy, for himself, or for the woman's children (Sakura).
On the phone, after listening to Kariya's words, Shinji just suggested that the other party should not do anything and not be fooled by anyone's words at this time.
Shinji did not tell Kariya that tonight was probably the night of Tokiomi's death, otherwise Kariya might not be able to bear to go to the scene.
Even if the hatred weakened, he still wanted to ask Tokiomi, hoping that the other party could give him an answer or something like that.
But Shinji knows very well that this is meaningless. Tokiomi is a Magecraft master. He firmly believes that his Magecraft master's thinking is correct. No matter what Kariya says, the other party will not think that he is wrong.
Although the language is the same, some things are already different.
Of course, it's not that Kariya can't understand, it's just that he doesn't want to understand or understand the things about Master Magecraft, so after listening to Tokiomi's answer, it will only become more painful, and he will only hate himself and Tokiomi even more.
The worldview, values, beliefs, honors, and things they pursue are completely different. No matter how much they communicate, they will never be able to understand each other and will only seek trouble.
After putting down the red wine glass and sighing softly, Shinji closed the curtains, turned around and walked towards the suite. He really had no interest in what would happen in Tohsaka Residence tonight.
The next day, morning.
In the stone room, Kirie frowned and seemed a little distressed. The first was the condition that Saber and his party put forward regarding the alliance - to let himself leave Fuyuki.
Kirie doesn't quite understand, why himself? Is it Kiritsugu Emiya's request? Why would he make that request? Is he paying attention to himself too?
There is also a second worry, that is, after stabbing my teacher in the back last night, I couldn't find a suitable audience. First of all, it was Kariya Matou who had a grudge with the teacher. The other party actually left Fuyuki in the middle of the night the day before yesterday.
There was also a woman whom I had investigated who had an emotional entanglement with the teacher in the past (suspected to have been abandoned by the teacher), but she actually rejected him.
So this show, UU Reading
Who should be invited to perform?
Only your master's wife is invited?
No, it's useless, and there's nothing to watch. After seeing the teacher's body, the teacher's wife will only feel sad, sad or in pain. The difference between the stage that can make her happy is really too far away.
Seemingly sensing Kirie's distress, a handsome blond man in casual clothes showed his figure beside the sofa.
"You are growing up faster and faster, Kirie, have you learned to be upset because you can't see interesting performances?"
Hearing the sound, Kirie chuckled softly, and then threw the information about Shou? Yanzi into the trash can nearby.
"It doesn't matter, it's just some small performances before the finale, so it doesn't matter. As long as the ending allows me to find the answer. Gilgamesh, since there is no intermission small theater, does the ending have to be staged in advance?"
"Hahahaha!" Gilgamesh suddenly laughed, "What, Kirie, are you just looking forward to the ending? Ah! Yes! I can understand your feelings! Then let us witness it together!"
