Chapter 125
But now it seems that the Little Clumsy was actually the grown-up Rin Tohsaka, while the Big Clumsy was the one who was younger Rin Tohsaka.
[Meme Lord: Okay, looks like I guessed wrong.]
[Little Clumsy: Wait, 7 years old? Could it be that she is?!]
[Big Clumsy: What's wrong with being 7? I'm a lady personally approved by my father!]
[Always Little Clumsy: It's actually true!]
High school student Rin Tohsaka also realized the time period in which her other self existed.
[Meme Lord: By the way, Xiao Lin, what's your father doing these days? Did you go back to your Zentoku family with your mother?]
[Big Clumsy: How did you know that Mom and I went back to our Zentoku family yesterday?]
[Little Clumsy: Wait, why did you just say that out loud?!]
[Big Clumsy: Ugh! You tricked me! I'm not talking anymore!]
Li Yue easily learned from Xiao Lin what time period her world was currently in.
She had just returned to the Zentoku family with her mother, which is also her mother Tokiomi Tohsaka's family home. This means that the Fourth Holy Grail War has entered the preparation stage and is about to begin.
[Meme Lord: Tohsaka, has your fifth round started yet?]
[Little Clumsy: Did you think I'd tell you?]
[Meme Lord: So you mean it hasn't started yet, right?]
[Little Clumsy: Wait, how did you determine that?]
[Meme Lord: How much longer until the fifth time?]
[Little Clumsy: Did you think I'd tell you?]
[Meme Lord: Oh, I see. Well, let me put it another way, Rin, you don't want anything to happen to Sakura, right?]
[Little Clumsy:!!!!!! ]
[Meme Lord: Okay, I'm going to get busy now, see you later.]
[Little Clumsy: Wait, explain yourself clearly, what happened to Sakura?!]
[Little Clumsy: Hey! Explain yourself!]
[Meme Lord: Oh? So you're willing to talk now?]
[Little Clumsy: You... you have one month left.]
[Meme Lord: Okay, thanks, I'm getting busy now.]
[Little Clumsy: Wait, you still haven't told me what happened to Sakura!]
[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings:...]
So Arrogant!
[The Perverted Scum Man: I feel like I'm completely being manipulated.]
After leaving the Chat Group, Li Yue looked at Aizen.
"Godfather, it's time to act!"
"Um."
At this point, Li Yue had already sent Shanks back to the pirate world, leaving only Li Yue and Aizen. Since there were only two of them left, there was no need to hide anymore, and they could continue their fatherly and filial relationship.
Li Yue drew the Enma's Blade and directly cut open Portal to the Type-Moon world. There was still a month until the fifth time, so there was no rush to go to the fifth time. Instead, she would go to the upcoming fourth time.
"It looks very similar to my Human World."
As soon as he landed, Aizen began to look around at the city, which looked very similar to Karakura Town.
"This is 20th-century Japan, so it looks very similar to Karakura Town."
Li Yue began to explain, then looked at the courtyard gate next to her. After they landed, they were on a street, and they could see residential houses next to the street. Japanese residents like to write their surnames on the door of their houses.
So Li Yue immediately saw the name of the family next to her.
Zentoku.
"Looks like this is the house of the one Big Clumsy."
Aizen also saw the two characters "Zentoku" and immediately understood where he was.
"Yes, this is the place, but we don't need to go in and say anything to her."
Li Yue looked up into the distance.
"We can just go and participate in the Holy Grail War."
"Li Yue-kun, are you preparing to summon Heroic Spirit to participate in the Holy Grail War?"
Aizen was very curious about Li Yue's thoughts.
"No, summoning Heroic Spirit requires a Command Spells. I don't have Command Spells, and I don't know how to draw Summoning Circle. More importantly, for the two of us, if we want the Holy Grail, we don't need any so-called Servant."
Although Li Yue felt that there were a lot of messy things in the Type-Moon world, this was Fourth War Holy Grail War, and there really wasn't anyone he cared about. He didn't even care about Gilgamesh, because this was just the Fourth Holy Grail War.
"The location of the Greater Grail is inside Mount Enzou. Father, what you should want to study most is the ritual of the Holy Grail."
"That's right, that ritual that uses Magic Power to change the world is exactly what I want to study the most. If I can thoroughly understand its principles, I might be able to transplant it into my world."
Aizen smiled and nodded.
"However, in my world, what I use will not be Magic Power, but Reishi. I will absorb Reishi and gather them inside, and finally change the world. It would be great if I could change the world according to my will."
"As for the address, it's Ryudo -Ryuudou Temple on Mount Enzou Enzo. I think you should be able to find it quickly, Godfather."
"So what about you, Li Yue-kun? What are you planning to do? Participate in the Holy Grail War as a lone individual and win the game?"
When faced with Aizen's question, Li Yue simply smiled slightly, and then his entire being began to transform into a strange-looking man dressed in a leather suit with armor, a red shroud wrapped around his neck, and even his head covered.
The man pulled two Calico M950 out of his pocket.
"I want to become Partner of Justice!"
205. Coming to Fuyuki, we naturally have to fry something.
The Holy Grail War is a war in which seven magicians summon seven Servants of different classes and then fight each other.
These seven direct Servants are the upper three classes: Saber, Archer, and Lancer; the lower three classes: Rider, Caster, and Assassin; and there is also a special class: the uncontrollable Berserker.
In the three Holy Grail War that have already taken place, although the rituals failed in the previous Holy Grail War due to various problems, the magicians have reached a consensus that there are also differences in strength between classes.
The upper three classes seem to have a natural advantage, while among the lower three classes, the Assassin seems to be naturally weaker in combat, while the Berserker may be stronger than the Assassin, but is basically uncontrollable. This makes the Berserker class very disliked by mages. The irrational Berserker is really difficult to control and will go against the master's will. This class is hated by everyone!
In this Holy Grail War, the Berserker class master is the amateur magician Kariya Matou.
As a descendant of the Matou family, Three Founding Families, he did not have much talent in magic. Later, because his childhood friend Zenjou Aoi Zenjo married Tokiomi Tohsaka and became Tokiomi Tohsaka, he gave up on himself and left Fuyuki City.
However, recently, he discovered that Tokiomi Tohsaka's daughter, Tohsaka Sakura, had been adopted into the Matou family. Realizing what kind of people were inside the Matou family Kariya Matou rushed back from out of town. But by the time he returned, it was too late. When Kariya Matou returned to the Matou family, Tohsaka Sakura had already become Sakura Matou and had been modified by the head of the family Zouken Matou, using insects. Sakura Matou was only 6 years old, was forcibly and painfully turned into a numb little girl.
To save Sakura Matou, Kariya Matou chose to sacrifice himself and fight in the Holy Grail War in place of the Matou family. However, because he did not have the talent of a magician, he did not have much Magic Power. So Zouken Matou modified his body by stuffing insects into his body, allowing the insects to produce Magic Power by devouring his body and life force to supply the servant.
The funniest thing is that he was even specifically asked to summon the Berserker, which consumes a lot of Magic Power.
Lacking any talent as a magician, constantly consuming his own life force, and then summoning uncontrollable, mana-draining Berserkers—this combination of attacks made Kariya Matou extremely unlucky.
However, Kariya Matou naively believed that he could win the Holy Grail War with the Berserker. Oh no, at this point, he had lost much interest in winning the Holy Grail War. The torment of the insects did not numb him; instead, it drove him mad, turning him into a madman just like the Berserker, with only one thing on his mind: to cause trouble for Tokiomi Tohsaka.
As for Sakura Matou, whom he originally intended to take care of, he left her at the Matou family to continue enduring the torment of the insects.
"What a laughable person, Kariya. Did you think I would place my hopes of seizing the Holy Grail on a piece of trash like you?"
In the basement of the Matou family's residence, Zouken Matou looked down at the sea of insects below and couldn't help but sneer, recalling Kariya Matou, who had already summoned the Berserker and was wandering outside, believing he could win the Holy Grail.
"A piece of trash like you has no chance of winning the Holy Grail War. Only this child is my true target."
Although he outwardly agreed to Kariya's request to stop modifying Sakura Matou, in reality, he would immediately resume modifying her after Sakura Matou summoned the Berserker and left. Just as he said, he had absolutely no hope for Kariya.
Just as he was watching the insect swarm modify Sakura Matou's body in the basement as usual, the entire basement suddenly shook.
Boom--
The basement ceiling suddenly collapsed.
A dark figure jumped down from the cave entrance and threw a grenade upon landing. The grenade exploded in the swarm of insects, and the flames from the explosion instantly burned a group of insects to ashes. The shockwave from the explosion also completely blew the swarm apart, Sakura Matou, who was surrounded by insects, was also thrown into the air by the shockwave.
But just as she began to fall, her petite body was caught by a dark figure.
"Um?"
Zouken Matou stood above, looking at the sudden change below, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Who dares to invade my residence!"
However, the figure was wearing a hood, making it impossible to see its appearance, so Zouken Matou couldn't immediately determine who it was.
But he soon realized who the other person was.
"So you're a servant? Dressed like that, and appearing in this way... are you perhaps an assassin?"
"No, the Assassin should have already been summoned, and it's not someone like you. I'm really curious, what class are you?"
However, the shadowy figure did not respond to him.
"Regardless of your position, could you please return the young girl in your hands to this old man?"
The shadowy figure still did not respond.
"It seems you are unwilling to hand over this young girl, which is truly regrettable. Although you are a servant, you are all the same in front of me, for you are nothing more than a puppet that obeys my orders!"
Heroic Spirit are Heroic Spirit, and Servants are Servants. Heroic Spirit are indeed heroes remembered by mankind, but Servants are just familiars and puppets summoned by magicians and obeying the commands of Command Spells. Not to mention, the Matou family is responsible for providing Command Spells, so Zouken Matou completely looks down on Servants.
He stood still and directly controlled a large number of insects to rush towards the shadowy figure. Matou family, he could use a large number of insect magic spells.
However, shortly after these insects took flight, they all suddenly burst open.
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, causing Zouken Matou to kneel on the ground.
"This is!"
Zouken Matou was lying on the ground, stared wide-eyed at the black figure that had completely stood up, utterly shocked.
In front of Zouken Matou, the shadowy figure reached behind his back with his right hand and pulled out a huge explosive charge.
"Wait, where did you get that bomb from?!"
Zouken Matou stared in astonishment at the explosive charge that was almost as big as a person, completely bewildered.
Where did you hide something this big?
No, there is one situation where such a bomb can be hidden.
"Could this be your Noble Phantasm!?"
Recalling the appearance of this dark figure just now, it even dropped a grenade, and now it's pulling out a bomb. What era's Heroic Spirit is this? It can't be from World War I or World War II, can it?
But the shadowy figure didn't answer him; instead, it grabbed Sakura and lit the explosives.
Boom--
The massive explosion sent the entire Matou family flying into the sky.
206. Kiritsugu Emiya! (Bonus Chapter 2/2 in March)
"The Matou family was attacked?"
At the Tohsaka residence, the head of the family Tokiomi Tohsaka, was quite surprised to hear the report from his apprentice Kirei Kotomine.
Kirei Kotomine, Tokiomi Tohsaka's disciple in the magic path, was not actually taken in to teach him magic. Rather, he wanted to cooperate with Kirei Kotomine's father to gain control of the Holy Grail War through internal collaboration, thus making it easier for him to obtain the Holy Grail.
"Yes, last night, when I sent the Assassin to attack you, Master, the Matou residence was also attacked. The surrounding residents said they heard a loud explosion. When they went to check this morning, they found that the entire Matou residence was just a huge crater, and nothing was left of the buildings."
Kirei Kotomine reported with a blank expression.
"Can you determine which group carried out the attack?"
Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned. The Matou family was one of the Three Founding Families, and the other party was a magic family with a history of hundreds of years. The residence of such a magic family was a powerful magic workshop. And such a magic workshop was completely destroyed by a direct bomb. The attacker must be a Servant, and they directly activated their Noble Phantasm.
"I don't know. My father only saw traces of flames at the scene, but the temperature of the flames exceeded that of a normal explosion. Part of the ground even crystallized."
"In order to appease the surrounding residents, my father has asked the government to announce that the gas explosion was caused by a gas leak due to the old and dilapidated state of the Matou residence. Now, most people believe it."
"That's good."
Kirei Kotomine's Holy Church should not have been a participant in the Holy Grail War. Instead, they acted as supervisors, preventing the mages from causing too much trouble and establishing a rule that the Holy Grail War could only be held at night. They were also responsible for cleaning up the mess left by the mages.
