"Ah~ I'm so exhausted~"
Shinji just returned to the hotel and stretched out a lot. Counting from the day Holy Grail War ended, it has been a full week.
This week, I haven't had a break. As long as I go out, I will definitely encounter some secret room murder case!
Shinji all suspected that this was also the influence of Counter Force, who put a curse on his identity as a detective, similar to that of the elementary school student next door who died wherever he went.
Although Counter Force has never met him, Shinji knows that the other party really exists. At the last moment of Holy Grail War, the other party did take action.
Although he entered the door, he failed to go outside the world. Instead, he was stuck in the gap between the two.
I just got nearly infinite magic power in exchange for seven Servant.
I originally wanted to try to see if I could break through the barrier violently, but I failed. No matter what, I couldn't break through the barrier.
There is no doubt that Counter Force intervened.
But as long as the goal is achieved, I am just curious about the outside world, and it doesn't matter even if I can't go out.
It took him half of the nearly infinite magic power he obtained to completely repair his soul, and most of the rest was absorbed by System with his permission and used as an energy source to travel through the world in the future.
I was given the opportunity to travel around the world eight times for no reason. With the success of this mission, I got a total of nine opportunities.
Taking one of these opportunities, I exchanged a bunch of needed things with System, including insect repellent Suck-Suck Ice.
Also taking advantage of Diarmuid's absence, he helped Kariya remove all Imprint Worm from his body and replenished the other party's defective Life Force to the level of a normal person.
The nerves that were damaged and lost their original functions were also miraculously restored by the powerful Life Force of Shinji. Except for the handsome and flowing white hair, they were completely restored to their original strength.
Kariya's female body experience has also ended. I heard that she suddenly changed back when she was helping two children take a bath. The scene was very embarrassing. Kariya did not dare to face Sakura for two days.
Just yesterday, another little girl was properly returned to her parents by Kariya. At that time, Kariya will probably never forget the scene when her parents cried and fainted while holding the little girl in their arms.
Kiritsugu Emiya went to the Matou Family to pick up the dying Miyu on the day Holy Grail War ended. During the whole process, he only gave the pseudonym of Shinji without saying a word.
After sending Miyu to the hospital to recuperate, he went to look for the puppet master who settled in Japan who saved Kayneth's hands that day.
I don't know if Shinji has been found, but with Kiritsugu's ability, it's not too difficult to find it.
The moment Irisviel regains his body and Miyu recovers, it will probably be the time for Kiritsugu to pick up his daughter.
Of course, maybe after knowing that Holy Grail has been contaminated, Ahlad will take the initiative to return Illya to them? It's impossible to tell.
However, Shinji has no intention of paying attention or helping. Not to mention that Kiritsugu is now afraid of avoiding him and probably never wants to see him again for the rest of his life.
Let's put it into an easy-to-understand FPS game: I was so upset by Lao Liu that I quit the Internet.
"It's time to go back..."
Shinji, who was lying on the sofa, murmured softly, then turned back to look out the window - in the direction of the Matou Family.
In the evening, at meal time.
Diarmuid, who together with Shinji solved a secret room murder case during the day, seemed to have seen the strange look on Shinji's hesitant expression.
"Lord Miyasato, do you need my help with anything?"
"Diarmuid, I'm going back to my country. I wanted to take you back with me, but there's something I can't let go of..."
Hearing this, Diarmuid immediately expressed his sincerity. "Lord Miyasato, just tell me! I, Diarmuid, will definitely live up to my destiny!"
"Officer Lan..." Shinji showed a bit of emotion, and then he sorted out his words and spoke slowly, "Diarmuid, do you remember what I told you before? Did I get to know Master Magecraft who helped me? The Master Magecraft who helped me understand some details about Master Magecraft and Holy Grail War..."
"Yeah, I have an impression."
"He... encountered some difficulties. I wanted to help him but I didn't have enough strength."
Then, Shinji hesitantly explained the dilemma that Kariya Matou was facing at this time - the father of the family suddenly died suddenly and ascended to heaven, and the second-generation heir was not strong enough to protect the Third Hokage heir with excellent qualifications, and might face a tragic fate of fleeing.
"So, can you stay and help him? Although he didn't help me much, I... can't turn a blind eye."
After listening to Shinji's request, Diarmuid was deeply moved because his master was a true gentleman in repaying his kindness, and also felt reluctant to be separated from his master.
After struggling for a long time, Diarmuid finally agreed, because this was the first order given to him by his master as a friend and partner! Although it is a request, you must also treat it as an order and execute it!
"Don't worry, the two of us are bound." Shinji showed his left wrist and stretched it out in front of Diarmuid, bending his eyes and smiling, and then looked out the window. "And, for some reason, I feel a little worried about this city where a tragedy has just happened. So, the justice of this city is entrusted to you, Diarmuid."
Seeing the full trust and expectation in Shinji's eyes, Diarmuid was so moved that he even held back tears and patted his chest in response.
It means that Master, you don't have to worry, just leave Fuyuki to me Diarmuid! During your absence, I am Fuyuki City the embodiment of justice! I won't betray your trust!
Moreover, not to mention that even if the two places are separated, they can still feel the connection with each other. If they encounter any danger, they can still rush there as soon as possible!
There is a saying that if love lasts for a long time... ahem!
Anyway! Lord, Diarmuid promises to complete the tasks assigned by you! For your righteous heart, I, Diarmuid, will fight to the end for it!
Looking at the Lancer in front of him who introduced himself, Kariya Matou was a little confused. Although he had learned about it from Shinji in advance, he still didn't expect that the other party would actually leave such a powerful Servant to him!
Are you worried about your lack of ability?
Kariya figured this out quickly and was so moved that he was overwhelmed.
Just like Shinji ordered his own before, he didn't know how difficult it was to be Matou Family's home until his eldest brother moved out.
After he took the initiative to expose the fact that Zouken was dead, he often worked until three in the morning with various tedious things. He almost imitated his elder brother and drank to relieve his worries!
I can't handle such a small thing myself, let alone help Tohsaka Residence, who has lost his head.
It's just nonsense!
I can't even finish the things at hand. That Mage's Association Tenten called me. I can't wait to call eight times a day!
I was so annoyed that I wanted to run away with Sakura.
However, Kariya also knew after Shinji's explanation that running away would not solve the problem.
Shinji once said that as long as Sakura's Magecraft qualifications are still there, she will inevitably be involved in various disputes.
It's no joke that only the powerful Magecraft family can protect her!
Therefore, Kariya could only barely maintain Matou Family. While he was busy dealing with the Mage's Association's investigation and interviews about the replacement according to Shinji's instructions, he also hoped that he could free up his hands to help a bunch of Aoi who were left alone.
"Mr. Kariya, no need to thank you. After all, you have helped me. You are different from other Magecraft teachers. I am willing to treat you as a friend."
Looking at Shinji with a sincere face in front of him, Kariya first praised the other party's acting skills in his heart, and then expressed his gratitude in his heart.
Of course, let's not talk about the fact that one day this gratitude will turn into a complaint because of the uncomfortable look the woman he admires looks at Lancer.
Pier, port.
Shinji rubbed the little head of Sakura who followed the geese Yoruichi to see him off, and then said goodbye to several people amidst the whistle of the passenger ship and carried his wooden box to board the ship.
"Officer Lan! Fuyuki is left to you!"
On the boat, Shinji, who was leaning on the railing, waved and shouted.
"Leave it to me! Lord Miyasato!"
Diarmuid also raised his arms and responded, adding in his heart: I am determined to live up to my command and protect your lord's righteous heart!
Kariya found a thick pile of information left by Shinji in his room. Most of it was about some of the Matou Family's future development routes, and was even accurate to what needed to be done every month.
Seeing the ten-year plan written down by Shinji himself, Kariya wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. It turned out that this nephew had already seen through his embarrassment and had planned everything in advance.
Looking at the top letter, Kariya also calmed down. After opening it, he held it in his hand and read it carefully.
Kariya Uncle Qinqin:
You must have realized after so many days that Matou cannot withdraw from Magecraft temporarily so that Sakura does not have to face the ending of mother and daughter separation.
And the fact that without strength, he couldn't protect that woman and her daughters.
You may want to abandon everything and take Aoi, Rin, and Sakura away, but you should also understand that treating the symptoms does not cure the root cause, not to mention that Tohsaka Residence is the spiritual guardian of Fuyuki, so there is no way they will agree to go with you.
In the plan I left behind, within ten years, if you follow the plan step by step, Matou can gain the power of ordinary people. Although it is not as powerful as Magecraft, it is enough for you to exchange for Matou's qualifications to withdraw from Magecraft, and it is enough for you to protect the people you care about.
Needless to say, you should know how to choose between the moment of pleasure and the future. Of course, the future is more important.
There is me in that world, so I don't need to worry, but in this world, you, who are not very tolerant, are what really worries me.
Servant is left to you, and the planning has been done for you. This is the best effort I can do, but don't make any more thoughtless moves in the heat of the moment.
Seeing this, Kariya couldn't help laughing and scolding, "Who do you think you are looking down on? I understand this kind of thing!"
letter paper——
Then there are Sakura's virtual attributes. I found some Magecraft that are suitable for Sakura. I also left you information on how to train. You can let her master some Magecraft that are enough to protect herself. Of course, I am just a suggestion. The decision is yours.
Finally, I remind you again to keep my true identity in your heart forever and never mention it to anyone, especially Diarmuid.
He is the collaborator I left for you, a true knight full of justice and loyalty. He will never betray you. You can trust him any time.
——————Shinji Matou.
After reading the letter, Kariya still stared blankly at the letter in his hand until the letter paper began to spontaneously combust.
Looking at the letter that suddenly burned, Kariya also burst into laughter. This brat probably guessed that he wanted to save the letter.
"Thank you, Shinji."
After saying something softly, Kariya lowered his head and sorted out the plans and information Shinji had secretly left behind.
Outside the passenger ship.
Shinji, lying on the railing, was enjoying the cool sea breeze and quietly looking at the sea of this similar but different world.
"Host, actually you don't need to subdue Diarmuid at all, right?"
"You only know now?" Shinji turned around, leaned against the railing, and looked at the sky quietly with a normal expression.
"For you, there was no possibility of losing in this Holy Grail War game from the very beginning. Your purpose of targeting Diarmuid was just for Kariya Matou, who lacked ability and immature ideas."
"That's right."
"... Host, you are really a loser. Diarmuid's curse is inevitable. Kariya Matou will not have the chance to be with that woman for at least ten years."
"Uncle Kariya, if you want to grow from immaturity to maturity, you have to pay some price, and the price is the hidden selfishness. Only by letting go of that selfishness can he grow and truly protect what he wants to protect. I am doing this for his own good. Isn't his wish to watch and protect the woman and her daughter from a distance?"
"..." System was silent.
"Okay, we should go back. Go back, System."
Diarmuid instantly felt that his contract with Shinji was severed, and knocked on Kariya's door without thinking.
"Mr. Kariya! I sense Mr. Miyoshi him..."
"What's wrong? Lancer?" Kariya, who probably already knew that Shinji was back, also hurriedly got up.
"Please help me! I want to find Mr. Miyoshi! I can feel him..."
"Don't worry, Lancer, I, Kariya Matou, will do my best Matou Family to help you!"
The news is broadcast in the evening.
——A passenger ship from Fuyuki to Russia encountered a storm, and a tourist on the deck was swept into the sea by the storm. The search and rescue team searched to no avail...
Since then, out of guilt and for the sake of his master's last mission, Diarmuid endured his grief and concluded a contract with Kariya Matou, staying in Fuyuki City to protect the city that he and his master once guarded.
In front of the tombstone where no body was buried, Diarmuid put his right hand against his chest, resisting his grief, bowed and swore a loud oath!
"I, Diarmuid Odina, swore in front of the Lord's grave that I will protect the justice left by the Lord for the rest of my life! I will risk all my reputation during my lifetime to complete the final mission entrusted to me by the Lord!"
