Type-Moon, I, Sakura Matou, Rewrite Destiny

"Master!"

Another giant wave crashed down. Sakura, whose bones were creaking under the pressure of the waves, immediately sped up the circulation of the Yellow Court Scripture within her body upon hearing the reminder from the beautiful woman in palace attire, who looked no older than a maiden.

More than a month had passed since her last conversation with Tokiomi Tohsaka, and nearly twenty days had gone by since she arrived on this small island in the North Sea.

If Sakura had to describe her experiences over the past month, it could only be summed up as 'miserable.'

Sneaking onto an unnamed island right under the Clock Tower's nose with her entire family, half of whom were 'ordinary people,' was no easy feat.

The journey had been fraught with peril several times...

However, with the help of some individuals, Sakura had successfully reached the island.

She then brought the Matou family here and settled down.

For the next twenty-odd days, although there were no more life-threatening situations and no one bothered them...

But now that the 'Master' Sakura mentioned had been summoned upon her arrival on the island, Sakura's new period of hardship had begun.

Training, cultivation, learning... a strict routine had defined Sakura's past twenty days.

Still, enduring hardship leads to success. After over twenty days of tempering, the once delicate and easily pushed-over Sakura was completely gone. In her place stood... the Sakura currently on the shore, facing the raging sea waves.

Nodding with satisfaction, the beautiful woman in palace attire, who had already assessed Sakura's current condition, looked at the flowers adorning her. As if influenced by her mood, the flower buds slowly unfurled and bloomed.

Her surname was Luo, her given name Cui Lian, and her courtesy name Hao!

This God Slayer, who had lived for over two hundred years, appeared as a peerlessly beautiful woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old. This was Sakura's current 'Master,' a new character Sakura had summoned with a total of ten thousand units – the one who reigned at the pinnacle of martial arts, the leader of the Five Prisons Holy Cult from a world of divine battles, the Wuxia King of Jiangnan, the God Slayer - Luo Hao – Luo Cuilian!

"Sakura... that's enough, come back!"

"Yes, Master!"

Secretly breathing a sigh of relief, Sakura, who should have been in the dominant position as the summoner, had insisted that Luo Hao treat her as a disciple and had been taught unsparingly. Sakura knew her efforts were finally about to pay off.

Still maintaining the circulation of qi within her body, she climbed onto the rugged, rocky shore with a slightly clumsy gait.

When the disheveled Sakura arrived before Luo Hao, she was met with admiring and appreciative eyes from the peerlessly beautiful Luo Hao.

"Sakura, the qi in your body has been cultivated. Starting tomorrow, you will formally learn martial arts and mystic arts from me."

"...Master, can't we start right away?"

"Sakura, I know you're eager to compete with those uncivilized barbarians across the way, but haste makes waste. Once you learn my skills, those barbarians will be as easy to crush as turning over your hand. There's no need to rush..."

At this point, the 'King,' who was naturally jealous, narcissistic, and arrogant, suddenly paused. Then, she frowned and turned to look at Kurumi, who was walking slowly towards the shore with a basket in hand.

"Kurumi Tokisaki, I've already instructed that no one is allowed to disturb Sakura during her training, haven't I!"

Kurumi stopped, holding the basket with both hands, looking like a lady on an outing. She smiled like a flower and tilted her head.

"So what? Do I need to obey your words?"

"How dare you! This Cult Master..."

"Wait, Master!"

Sakura quickly stepped forward and held Luo Hao back. With Sakura present, she certainly wouldn't allow a conflict to erupt...

"Forget it. For Sakura's sake, this Cult Master won't argue with you, barbarian."

"Tch, if it weren't for Sakura, do you think I'd even bother with you... Luo Cuilian!"

Provoked again and again, how could Luo Hao tolerate it? But with Sakura holding her tightly, she dared not move lest she hurt Sakura. In the end... she could only resort to verbal sparring with Kurumi.

In fact, the conflict between Kurumi and Luo Hao wasn't new.

Ever since the day Luo Hao was summoned, whether due to incompatibility or some other reason, Kurumi and Luo Hao had taken an instant dislike to each other.

This was especially true after Sakura became Luo Hao's disciple and was constantly injured from her training, making their animosity even worse.

Fortunately, every time these two started arguing, Sakura would be there. So far... they hadn't come to blows... However, if this issue wasn't resolved, Sakura's Matou family would likely never have a peaceful day...

PS: Four more updates today. Also, I'd like to ask readers to be a bit more active. It feels like I'm playing a single-player game!

80. Luo Hao and the God Slaying Ritual

Internal discord is fatal to any family, especially when the conflict involves irreplaceable members.

Therefore, for Sakura, resolving the conflict between Kurumi and Luo Hao was naturally a top priority.

But Sakura, who didn't even know the reason for their conflict, couldn't easily dispel their 'misunderstanding.'

Naturally, she could only act as a lubricant between the two for now, doing her best to prevent their conflict from escalating.

Holding a captivating beauty by each hand, she returned to the Matou family's current base.

Entering the 'small castle' built from stones gathered on the island, she looked at the two beautiful women with displeased expressions beside her. Then, she glanced at the piles of gold, silver, Japanese yen, and US dollars casually stacked in the corner. At this moment, Sakura was already regretting leaving Fuyuki City.

However, it was fortunate that Sakura had left Fuyuki City, otherwise...

In the original timeline's Fifth Holy Grail War, after the war concluded, Sakura faced a situation similar to the one she was in now.

That was when the Mage's Association learned the truth of the Holy Grail War and discovered that the Fuyuki Holy Grail could reach the Root...

For the result all Magus dreamed of, the Fuyuki City of that timeline naturally became quite lively, even eventually attracting the elusive big shot, Zelretch.

And at this moment, it was on Sakura's current worldline.

Although the Holy Grail's ability to achieve the Third Magic and information leading to the Root had not yet been leaked, ... being able to fulfill most wishes and summon a legitimate Servant was enough to drive the magus world into a frenzy.

No, because Lords were involved this time, Fuyuki City was currently more chaotic in the magus world than in the original Heaven's Feel timeline.

Fuyuki City had completely descended into a realm of demons dancing wildly shortly after Sakura and the Matou Family left.

The Association, the Church, the Thousand Tree Realm... and countless ambitious individuals who wanted to seize the Holy Grail to create their own Holy Grail, had already drenched the hidden corners of Fuyuki City in blood, with mountains of corpses.

If Sakura were to remain in Fuyuki City now, unless she went on a killing spree and caused this worldline to completely collapse, twisting into a Lostbelt or Singularity...

Otherwise... leaving the craziest vortex of Fuyuki City was absolutely the right choice.

After all, even if those who had fallen into madness couldn't harm Sakura's body, they could still mentally torment her to death.

The days passed one by one.

In the North Sea, thanks to the efforts of hundreds of battle maids, Sakura and the Matou Family's lives gradually began to improve.

Although they still couldn't avoid having seafood as their staple food every day and lived in a stone castle lacking modern amenities and close to the tides.

Another day ended with the setting sun.

Inside the dim castle, Sakura, unable to follow Luohao to learn sorcery and martial arts due to the lack of light, bid farewell to Luohao for the day. She then took Kurumi, who was hidden in her shadow, and felt her way along the wall back to her room.

Happily leaping out of the shadow, Kurumi, who hadn't touched Sakura all day, clearly showed an eager expression. After emerging from the shadow, she immediately picked Sakura up.

"Mmm~ I really do like holding you, Sakura."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face. Sakura, who had just finished playing after learning from Luohao, hadn't bathed yet today.

Feeling sticky all over, Sakura was truly struggling to handle Kurumi's increasingly passionate embrace.

"Kurumi-sister... let me go first, I haven't showered yet..."

"No, let me hold you for a bit first..."

"I feel so uncomfortable and sticky... and Kurumi-sister, you're becoming more and more clingy..."

"Hmph, it's so boring on this island. Besides Sakura... there's only that annoying Luohao and those dull maids. If I don't get 'energy' from you, Sakura, I would have gone crazy long ago..."

The words chuunibyou flashed in her mind.

Faced with such a Kurumi, Sakura could only respond with helplessness. She finally chose to use a sorcery she had recently learned from Luohao, forming a hand seal and summoning a large amount of mist to cleanse the sweat from her body.

Of course, this cleansing also included Kurumi.

After the thick mist summoned by sorcery turned both her and Kurumi into drowned rats.

Sakura took out her magic wand from her sleeve and then cast 'Refreshed,' which finally made both of them feel refreshed...

"Although that Luohao is annoying... her skills are truly amazing..."

Luohao was indeed amazing...

Or rather, which of the characters Sakura had summoned wasn't formidable?

After all, Sakura didn't summon them randomly, nor did she summon them based on her preferences. Instead, she summoned them strategically based on her own situation and potential future problems.

Moreover, that wasn't all. When summoning each character, Sakura also considered team composition.

For example, in Sakura's future team, Orochimaru would primarily be responsible for research, late-game development, and nurturing new talent. For instance, Kurumi would definitely be the absolute core of Sakura's future endeavors. Not only could she protect Sakura at critical moments with her time abilities, but she also had the power to traverse timelines...

And what about Luohao?

Currently, facing a lack of high-end combat power, Luohao was the combat character Sakura had chosen for the highest cost-effectiveness and greatest potential.

In terms of combat power, Luohao, as a God Slayer, was comparable to, or even surpassed, top-tier Servants... Combined with Luohao's mastery of martial arts and almost all the sorceries from the mysterious world.

It could be said that Luohao could not only serve as a top-tier fighter in Sakura's team but also help Sakura, who wished to pursue an Eastern system, to advance further.

Furthermore... those ten thousand points weren't just for exchanging for Luohao alone... In addition to Luohao, Sakura had also specifically exchanged for Luohao's exclusive God Slaying ritual—the Pandora Ritual!

Yes, this was why Luohao had the greatest potential among the characters Sakura could currently summon.

With this ritual, no matter which world Luohao slayed gods in... as long as she was in the same world as Sakura, Luohao could consistently plunder the 'authority' of the gods she killed!

Luohao with the Twelve Trials?

Luohao who gained the authority to summon the meteor that extinguished the dinosaurs?

Luohao who could summon the Bull of Heaven?

In short, none of this was beyond imagination... It wasn't even impossible for Luohao to achieve mechanical godhood in the future and shatter the solar system with a single palm!

81. The Alliance of 'Maiden' and Child, Lorelei and Linez.

A typical European-style castle with a historical interior design.

This was the base of the aristocratic faction of the Clock Tower—the El-Melloi family.

'Zouken Matou' walked through this historical building with a beaming smile, nodding to the servants who bowed to him along the way.

He was currently experiencing another peak in his life.

Invited here by Lords Marisbury and Kischur Zelretch, 'Zouken Matou' held a position of immense power within the El-Melloi faction, second only to the two Lords and above all others.

Not only was he treated with great respect by the El-Melloi faction, but Marisbury, who sought his help, and members of the Animsphere family who visited, also showed him considerable reverence.

Even... the family members in Fuyuki City who had betrayed him before had now traveled a great distance to pledge allegiance to him, 'Zouken Matou'.

If this 'Zouken Matou' were real, then he would have truly reached the pinnacle of his life.

But unfortunately, he was fake.

This 'Zouken Matou' was previously a clone of Orochimaru, and now... it was the result of Orochimaru using a transformation technique.

"Old Man Matou has been looking for you for a long time... so you were here."

Just as Zouken Matou was walking down the corridor of El-Melloi Castle, intending to arrange today's training tasks for Shinji and Shirou.

A very cute little girl with bright golden hair, a sturdy build, and a pair of small fangs suddenly blocked his path.

"Hehehe... Lady Linez, what business do you have with this old man? Has the Celestial Lord come to visit again, or does my elder brother need to discuss something with me?"

Linez El-Melloi Archisorte, who had disliked Zouken Matou ever since he returned with her 'paralyzed' elder brother Kischur Zelretch.

After hearing Zouken Matou's reply in his old, grating voice, Linez showed no disgust towards him on her face. Instead, her eyes revealed a look of admiration that was so fake, most people wouldn't even notice.

"The Department of Political Affairs has come looking for you again, Old Man Matou... I'm very sorry, Old Man Matou... this time, people from the Bartholomello family have arrived, and we can't stop them no matter what... But don't worry, we, the El-Melloi faction, swear on our honor that we will never allow anyone to threaten your safety!"

"We will never allow anyone to threaten your safety..." In other words, we'll only guarantee your safety.

On the isolated island in the North Sea, the vast majority of the Matou family members had indeed relocated there, such as Sakura, Kurumi, Luo Hao, Irisviel and her daughter, Shirou, Shinji, Noyoru...

However, not everyone had moved to the isolated island.
