They say seeing isn't always believing

What is it like to be hated by others?

Actually, no.

For Jizi, he was an unpleasant presence for most of his life as an ordinary human being. At first, he reacted to the hatred from the outside world, but he gradually got used to it.

What can you do if you hate your stepmother? Can you kill her?

What can I do even if I hate it? I don't have the guts to commit suicide anyway.

You could say she was numb. As long as it didn't cause any real consequences, Jizi didn't really care about the comments and opinions of the outside world—here, the "outside world" refers to those who weren't close to her—so although the malice from ANR was strong, Jizi remained unmoved.

At least that's how it appears on the surface.

She put the Mask back on her face, and several huge fireballs were hurled at Kirei. He was still immersed in the death scene in ANR and the "malicious intent" it contained, and didn't react immediately.

The fireballs exploded a split second before making contact, kicking up a cloud of smoke. Kirei Kotomine Jizi to use the smoke as cover, but her true target was undoubtedly Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"Drink it!"

Even though he still couldn't see his surroundings, he could sense nearby movements from the air currents. And the moment he sensed them, he had already flung out the three Black Keys.

"Whoosh!"

The sound that came wasn't of something hitting flesh or being deflected, but rather like something disappearing into fluid. Instantly Kirei realized he had misjudged the situation; the smoke and the subsequent impact were all a decoy.

"Bhrn!"

Following Kayneth's command, a drill formed from Volumen Hydrargyrum attacked from behind the smoke. Kirei, hastily dodging, shouted his new srvantarhr! "What are you doing!"

The Golden King has maintained a spectator's stance throughout, showing no reaction whatsoever since ANR's death; he's not waiting.

"Don't rush, Kirei. Savor this play carefully and enjoy the experience."

Arhr spoke calmly, as if the battle unfolding around him was nothing more than child's play. Kirei couldn't quite grasp his intentions for the moment. Although he understood that Arhr was just having fun, if he didn't react soon, he would be killed by the Mercury drill.

"Arhr, you--"

"I told you not to rush, Kirei." Gilgamesh had somehow acquired a short sword inlaid with colorful Gems. He remained calm, taking two steps forward seemingly casually, then without even turning his head, he raised his hand and thrust it backward fiercely.

"Ugh... Fuck!"

By this time, most of the smoke had dissipated, Kirei finally saw that Assassin had somehow gotten close to Tokiomi and was about to save her, but Arhr's sword pierced her heart without missing a beat.

"You think you can fool my eyes with such a little trick?" (Novel website does not skip words.)

"Hmph," Jizi's voice sounded as if her plan had succeeded, even though her movements had been exposed and she had been severely injured. "I wasn't trying to deceive you, I was just using your knowledge."

Even the oldest and most powerful Heroic Spirit, Arhr, could not Jizi, whose Spirit Core was not in the heart and head like a typical Srvant. Mere physical damage was not enough to kill her completely.

The blood flowing from the wound formed a small stream, but Jizi didn't care. She threw the Mask at Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was still in a daze, and it landed squarely on his face. Black lines ran down the Mask and covered Tokiomi's entire body. Suddenly, he felt a surge of power from nowhere and managed to break free of the Chains of Heaven using his human body.

However, after that brief burst of power, the demonic runes receded and disappeared along their original path. Tokiomi felt all his strength drained away, and he collapsed upon landing.

"You bastard, are you mocking me, the king?" (The novel website does not skip words.)

The reason why Jizi did not die was unclear, but Arhr was now enraged by her previous words. With a wave of his hand, several more swords appeared in the air, ready to be used.

But--

"Boom!"

A deafening roar erupted from all around, not from anywhere in the room, but from the ceiling, behind the walls, under the floor, and so on. It sounded like the pile drivers and drills of a construction crew breaking down stone. At the same time, the entire castle shook as if an earthquake had struck. Everyone except Jizi, who was somewhat prepared, was startled by this sudden change and stumbled.

This is Kayneth's Volumen Hydrargyrum. Back when they were running away, Jizi had Kayneth infiltrate his Mystic Code into the nearby concrete as a precaution. Now, the Mercury is relentlessly destroying the building's load-bearing beams and walls. The castle, already battered by Kiritsugu's bombs in the previous battle, can no longer withstand any more pressure; it is collapsing.

Goodbye!

While others were still in shock, Jizi had already carried Tokiomi on her back to the window. After making a quick calculation, she jumped down, not forgetting to turn back and mock Kirei and Arhr, since they had completely fallen out anyway.

The remaining people inside the house had to struggle against the falling debris and the constantly collapsing ground, while Kayneth manipulated a large lump of Volumen Hydrargyrum beside him to slam into the house, accelerating its collapse.

Fortunately, the snow cushioned Jizi fall, preventing her from sustaining serious injury. Carrying Tokiomi on her back, she ignored the alarm bells blaring through her body and sped towards the edge of the forest. Perhaps due to the interference of the cosmic will, she bumped into the Mercedes-Benz that Irisviel and Saber were driving. Grateful for her slightly better luck, she roughly shoved Tokiomi into the back seat, then used her remaining magic to construct a car key, started the engine, and sped off into the distance.

All the strategic operations tonight have failed. We failed to kill Kirei, nor did we inflict any damage on the ARHR. We also lost the ANR— Kayneth was left there to cover our retreat, and his chances of survival are slim. All the goodwill we had painstakingly built up with the SABR group has been lost, and he is also seriously injured. We can only escape in a stolen car.

But at least she kept her promise to Rin, Jizi chuckled self-deprecatingly.

---------------------Axis Conversion------------------

Even though it was well past bedtime, sounds could be heard coming from Rin Tohsaka's bedroom in the Zenjou Residence.

Jizi drove the heavily injured Tokiomi at breakneck speed to Zenjou —the only place she could think of that was temporarily safe—and then went straight into Rin Tohsaka's room.

Since the Magecraft bloodline that had been passed down in the Zenjou family had declined several generations ago, and now they were just ordinary people with a little Magecraft knowledge, it was better to entrust everything to Rin than to trouble them.

However, Jizi overestimated Rin's resilience. Upon seeing Tokiomi covered in blood, Rin lost her usual composure and opened her mouth wide to scream.

"Ah--Ugh ugh ugh ugh!!"

However, she was silenced by Jizi after only uttering half a syllable. At the same time, Jizi's injuries were too severe (in order to maintain her body, she even had to convert some temporarily unused body parts—such as some internal organs—and her weapon into magic to absorb, barely managing to hold on until now).

So she forcibly extracted a lot of magic power from Rin.

A ghostly blue light shimmered around Jizi, making her look like a giant humanoid firefly. The rhythm of the light's flickering was very similar to the rhythm of her heartbeat; with each flicker, a portion of Jizi's wounds would heal, and even her torn clothes would be restored.

This process lasted for about ten minutes. When the sword wound on Jizi's chest disappeared, the blue light also dimmed.

"Is this... how Heroic Spirit heal?" (The novel website does not skip words.)

Although she had many questions to ask, the Magecraft's natural curiosity about the Unknown prevailed at this moment, and Rin's first words were surprisingly this.

"Ah, I guess so, but I'm a little different," Jizi stretched her body, "Looks like you've done it too."

"Hmm," Rin nodded, "I never expected someone like you could be considered Heroic Spirit."

"Hehe, I--"

How is my father?

Before Jizi could explain her special circumstances, Rin asked a difficult question. This girl, far more mature than her peers, had calmed down and believed she had the right to know the truth.

"..."

"Is it hard to answer?" The novel website doesn't skip words.

No, it's not about answering.

Simply put, that's enough.

"... Hmm," Jizi paused for a moment, then looked into Rin's eyes Kirei Kotomine betrayed Tohsaka."

"Ah!"

It was indeed a bombshell. Rin's carefully cultivated sanity was starting to drop again. She smacked her head hard, forcing herself to remain calm, and then asked about her father's injuries—"

"Kirei Kotomine who did it. Because it was a sneak attack, I didn't have time to react—luckily, I survived in the end."

Here, Jizi lied. While the physical injuries were indeed caused by Kirei, the most serious damage to Tokiomi's Magic Circuits was actually due to the excessive use of magic power in a short period of time—and the culprit was naturally Jizi.

Although Tokiomi's life was saved, his Magecraft abilities will likely plummet. The damage to his soul will gradually cause him to lose the ability to Familiar. The only way to maximize his value now is to transfer all his Magic Crest to Rin while he can still use Magecraft; otherwise, if it drags on, even if he gets a transplant, he will lose some of his abilities.

Would Tokiomi has dedicated his life to the path of magic, be willing to give up his ability to use Magecraft in the future in exchange for a better future for his daughter?

Judging from Tokiomi's personality, the chances of him doing so are quite high.

"Because you are here, Father will still... Aren't you Heroic Spirit?" (The novel doesn't skip words.)

Rin's question pulled Jizi from her reverie, and she looked at Rin with a wry smile, saying:

"You seem to have misunderstood—I am not Tohsaka's Servant; he chose a more powerful being."

"And you--"

My AST is Kotomine Kiri --

Before the last sound of "courtesy" could be pronounced, Tohsaka Rin suddenly pounced and stood between Ji Zi and Tokiomi. He picked up the gem in his hand and faced Ji Zi with a desperate posture.

"Don't be nervous," Jizi reached out to pat Rin's head to ease the tension, but the latter's fierce gaze made her give up. "Actually, I also betrayed Kirei Kotomine —otherwise, do you think I was trying to save Tohsaka?"

"Oh? What about Father's Srvant?" Rin Tohsaka also noticed the overreaction. If Jizi really had malicious intent, how could she possibly be of any use?

"That's the guy who conspired with Kirei to betray us."

Rin was speechless for a moment. She couldn't help but have serious doubts about her father's judgment of character—how bad could his reputation be if both his disciple and Srvant had betrayed him?

Unfortunately, Rin is different. There are some people who cannot be measured by common sense—like those who are perverted in their pursuit of pleasure. So this really isn't just about Tokiomi; it's about the world.

After a moment of silence, Jizi suddenly spoke:

"I've treated Tohsaka's injuries. He's out of danger and will wake up soon—he was ambushed by Kirei, so you'll have to explain that then."

Sensing something amiss in her words, Rin asked:

"And what about you? What are you going to do?"

"Go back to Fuyuki."

"But you are all alone now, not with your father—"

"Tohsaka can no longer fight, but I must."

"What? Are we just going to our deaths?" -- Of course, Rin wouldn't say such a thing aloud, but that was the meaning conveyed in the way she looked at Jizi.

I have my reasons, I'm sorry.

"..."

Sensing Jizi's determination, Rin couldn't stop her any longer. She wanted to say something one last time, but Jizi preemptively spoke first:

"Yours is called Sakura, right? (There are quite a few words on the novel website.)"

"!"

Upon hearing the familiar name, Rin's pupils dilated instantly. She looked anxiously at Jizi, who waved his hand and said:

"I've found out some information about her. You need to grow stronger quickly." Only then will there be a chance of rescuing her.

Jizi sentence, but Lin understood. However, she still had one question:

"As for the Matou Family, doesn't Uncle Kariya have him?" (The novel website doesn't skip words.)

"Kariya Matou is dead. He was killed by that old man because he wanted to betray the Matou Family head to rescue Sakura."

Rin thought she was already numb to bad news, but when she heard a familiar name pass away, tears still welled up in her eyes. Uncle Kariya, who was always so kind, bringing her gifts and playing with her, was gone forever.

Jizi turned her head away with some reluctance. This was too cruel for a child, but it was a hardship that Rin Tohsaka had to face—at least in this timeline she didn't have to take her insane mother to her father's funeral—she could only endure it with strength.

I'm leaving.

Jizi walked towards the window, but Lin grabbed the end of her robe.

"Dry?"

"Squat down!"

Rin voluntarily shared her magic power with Jizi.

That's enough. Thank you.

"Hmm," Rin's face was even redder than her usual coat, and she softly said, "You have to win."

"Yes, thank you for your kind words."

After sensing the abundant magical power within her, Jizi gave Rin a final smile and leaped out of the window.
