Type-Moon, I, Sakura Matou Rewrites Destiny

For example, Orochimaru, who is currently impersonating Zouken Matou.

As for... didn't Shirou and Shinji go to the island? Why are they in El-Melloi Castle now... This is because there's a Ninjutsu called Shadow Clone, and another thing called a Mobile Phone...

That's right, all the members of the Matou Family in the castle are Orochimaru's Shadow Clones. As for the training missions Orochimaru assigns daily, it's Orochimaru pretending to be serious while giving instructions remotely to his disciples on the island via phone...

He immediately put on a sour face and then forcefully gripped his cane, tapping it on the ground.

At this moment, Orochimaru, who had transformed into Zouken Matou, appeared to be expressing his displeasure in Lineas's eyes.

"Old Man Matou, please calm your anger..."

"I was invited by you, and now you intend to hand me over?"

"Certainly not..."

"Enough, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Let your brother Kischur speak with me!"

Her eyes widened in disbelief, and then, feeling guilty, Lineas immediately lowered her head, hiding her beautiful, watery big eyes.

In this timeline, Lineas, who was adopted into the main family from a young age and became Kischur's adoptive sister, was naturally no ordinary child.

Born into such a family, don't let her age of 6 fool you.

In an ordinary family, she might still be playing house.

But in this top Magus family, Lineas, merely a young girl, already understood politics and how to play with schemes.

Sima Zhao's intentions were obvious to everyone... and Marisbury's intentions were no different.

Marisbury's desire to use the El-Melloi faction to accelerate his plans could naturally not be hidden.

After all, Marisbury's Chaldea Plan involved significant undertakings in each of its sub-plans.

The Earth environment model - Chaldeas, the near-future observation lens - Sheba, and the recently launched Heroic Spirit summoning System - Destiny. The money and materials required to create any one of these were astronomical... Even for a test, the trial operation of any single piece of equipment would consume a staggering amount of energy.

Therefore, anyone could see Marisbury's intention to exploit the El-Melloi faction.

However, Kischur, owing to a debt of favor and his current reliance on Marisbury, was unable to refuse him... And Lineas, who wished to refuse him, was too young to make the decision.

Ultimately, the precocious and experienced-beyond-her-years Lineas, after careful consideration and observation... decided to make an example of Zouken Matou, a guest Marisbury valued highly.

Whether it ultimately led to a falling out between El-Melloi and Animsphere, or simply diverted Marisbury's attention... In any case, Lineas would not allow Marisbury to continue using El-Melloi.

Just as Zouken Matou said he wanted Lineas to call Kischur to speak with him, and the young Lineas lowered her head in guilt.

Suddenly, a girl with a chestnut ponytail, delicate and heroic features, wearing a pure white noble riding outfit, appeared behind Lineas.

She gently patted Lineas's shoulder. As Lineas's 'ally' for this occasion.

With an astonishing status at the Clock Tower, and known as the "Pinnacle of Contemporary Magicians" that the Clock Tower prided itself on, a candidate for the Director of the Clock Tower, the current Grand Marshal of the Choir - Clone Brigade, the crystallization of a thousand years of the Bartholomello family – Bartholomello Lorelei stepped forward.

This young lady, who was about to inherit the position of head of the Bartholomello family, had naturally paid attention to the upheaval caused by the Holy Grail.

Lorelei had even taken action to test Artoria herself...

After testing how powerful Servants were, Lorelei naturally set her sights on the Holy Grail.

And... coincidentally at this time, Lineas, who hoped El-Melloi would smoothly overcome Kischur's period of weakness, made the decision to eliminate Zouken Matou... Thus, these two young ladies hit it off.

Lorelei could protect El-Melloi during this period, while Lineas could provide the Matou Family that Lorelei desired...

Thus... a special alliance formed by a 'young lady' and a young girl through a series of coincidences.

82. Roman's Visit, Azkaban, and the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau

Lorelei's appearance was undoubtedly very bad news.

This willful young lady could potentially cause a series of subsequent actions by the Matou Family to go awry.

Orochimaru naturally wanted to strongly prevent the young lady's willfulness.

However... Lorelei, who was always assertive and decisive, didn't give Orochimaru any opportunity.

The moment she appeared directly in front of Zouken Matou.

With a snap...

As Lorelei's whip-like Craft Essence let out a crisp crack that echoed through the castle, the Department of Law and Order members brought by Lorelei, who were waiting outside the castle, completely disregarded El-Melloi and Animsphere.

Upon receiving Lorelei's orders, they immediately began their assault.

The El-Melloi members, who had not expected the Department of Law and Order to raid the castle, were subdued in large numbers almost instantly. Subsequently, the Department of Law and Order members, who had disabled the castle's outer defenses, quickly located the Matou Family's residence in the castle with the map provided by Lineas...

Just as Orochimaru was about to face combat, and the Matou Family's subsequent plans were likely to be ruined by the actions of these two young ladies, On a nameless, uninhabited island in the North Sea that couldn't even be found on a map, an unexpected visitor arrived at this moment.

Tying the rope in his hand to a reef on the shore.

Facing the rugged and very slippery coastline.

This young and handsome visitor, with pink hair, Did not choose to climb but directly took out a signal flare from his backpack and raised it towards the sky.

As expected, after a short while, the island's owner, Sakura, appeared before this visitor.

"Yo~ Sakura, long time no see!"

"Solomon!"

"I've changed my name. After becoming an ordinary person, I'm now called Romani Archaman. You can just call me Roman."

Silently reciting the Yellow Court, she gathered the Five Qi in her chest.

Then, using Qi, Sakura, who had unleashed her Lightness Skill, instantly flew from the coast, over ten meters high, to Roman's side.

Before he could react, in an extremely awkward pose, Roman, a tall man of 1.8 meters, was lifted by the little Sakura, who was just over a meter tall, with one hand and flown to the coast.

He landed on the ground in a disheveled state.

Roman, who got up and brushed the dust off his clothes, gave an awkward, sheepish smile.

"Sorry to trouble you, Sakura, but next time... could you do it differently?"

Sakura tilted her head in confusion.

"Next time? Aren't you here to take it?"

While taking off the ring she used as a hair tie, Sakura tossed it in her hand, then walked over to Roman and started helping him brush the dust off his clothes.

"Uh... no, I'll take it, and then in a few years..."

"Then why are you looking for me? Don't tell me another big shot..."

He quickly waved his hands at Sakura.

"No, no, no one is looking for me. I just came to remind you..."

"Remind me of what?"

She frowned in confusion at first, then noticed Roman's gaze shifting behind her. Sakura turned to look and understood why Roman had suddenly fallen silent.

"Dementor... have you seen them?"

"No... it's just that they give me a bad feeling..."

"That's right, it's a bad feeling. Azkaban... that's what I plan to call this place from now on... What do you think, Roman?"

"I don't think it's a good idea! Sakura... this is why I came. I don't object to Azkaban... but you absolutely cannot establish Hogwarts...!"

An honest person can be pushed to their limit, and someone lacking security who suddenly gains a powerful support... will naturally become arrogant.

Forced out of Fuyuki City, hiding in this godforsaken place.

Sakura really didn't want trouble, but trouble always found her, and she was fed up. Even an honest person has some temper, let alone Sakura.

And the consequence of Sakura getting angry was... she wanted to go all out, directly create a Singularity... or even a Lostbelt, to make this world suit her preferences.

Hogwarts... was precisely the beginning of Sakura's series of plans.

Using Orochimaru's current identity, leveraging the influence of El-Melloi and Animsphere, and by selling off Servant-related information bit by bit, she would win over various factions within the Clock Tower.

Then, with herself, Kurumi, and Luó Háo creating Hogwarts to apply external pressure... Sakura was already planning to directly raze the Mage's Association...

Roman wouldn't care what happened to the Mage's Association.

But... he absolutely couldn't let Sakura, who didn't understand what was happening with the timeline, do this.

Because the timeline they were currently in, sixteen years from now, had already been cut off by the Counter Force with the Scythe of Chronos.

If Sakura caused too much chaos, leading to major changes in history, the end result would be that this timeline, ten years later, would be unable to return to the main timeline, and would ultimately become an independent new timeline...

The main timeline, missing these sixteen years, would directly collapse and be cut off by the Root...

In other words, if Sakura went too wild, the FGO worldline would be completely screwed. Some things, like the Holy Grail War, like the storm in Fuyuki City after the Holy Grail War, could happen earlier, but they absolutely could not cause too much change...

And Roman, who wanted to 'retire' with Chaldea, naturally didn't want such a situation to occur...

This led to the current scene, where Roman came to persuade Sakura.

In fact, it wasn't just Roman; many other existences who knew about this were also focusing their attention on Sakura.

Once Sakura started to 'go berserk'.

It was likely that Sakura would then experience being targeted by the entire 'world'.

Therefore, whether for himself or for Sakura, Roman had to prevent Sakura from causing too much impact on history.

"Why? Roman, I need a reason."

"For the future... And Sakura, the Counter Force won't allow you to do this. If you do, it will only result in a lose-lose situation..."

After a moment of thought, Sakura asked again.

"Then what about Azkaban?"

"You intend to use Azkaban as a prison, right...?"

"En."

"Then you can use Azkaban to replace the function of the Clock Tower's Sealing Designation... As long as history doesn't undergo major distortion... a simple addition and subtraction like this won't overly affect the future."

A sly smile appeared on her face. Looking at this 'acquaintance' who might become an enemy in the future, Sakura, not entirely confident, tentatively spoke.

"Then help me."

"Help you?"

"Yes, help me, help me seize the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau!"

"Just the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau?"

Sakura nodded.

"Yes, just the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau. I don't think I can get the Observatory, and as long as I have the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau, it should be enough to help me avoid most trouble."

If Sakura had asked for the Bureau of Arcane Rulings - Observatory Carrion, Roman wouldn't even consider it. But Sakura only wanted the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau... Roman's answer was... "Deal!"

83. Orochimaru's 'Child Slaying'

Inside the El-Melloi family's castle.

The members of the Department of Law and Order had broken through the blockade and arrived before several of Orochimaru's Shadow Clones.

Gazing at Lorelei, who stood before him with a confident expression, as if victory was within her grasp.

The problem now facing Orochimaru was how to continue this act...

With Orochimaru's combat power, even a mere Shadow Clone was by no means something a few ordinary members of the Department of Law and Order could handle.

But... if he wanted to continue the act, Orochimaru's Shadow Clone couldn't fight back.
