I, Rin Tohsaka, Am Advancing Toward Demonhood-The Curtain Falls!! / A Recommendation for My New Novel (＃^.^＃)! ...

Kirei Kotomine came up to Rin, smiling as he looked at her.

"Good morning, Rin. Did you come to the church because you needed help?"

"Ah, good morning, Kirei. You... that isn't a fake smile? What happened to you?"

Kirei Kotomine looked at the startled Rin and spoke with a smile.

"Rin, I have found the meaning of my life. I want to save those who need help. That is the meaning of my life as a servant of God. Oh, Rin, let me introduce you. This is my newly adopted son, Shirou Emiya. Shirou, this is my junior sister, Rin Tohsaka."

As Kirei Kotomine spoke, he pulled Shirou Emiya out from behind him and pushed him in front of Rin, signaling for Shirou to greet her.

Shirou Emiya fidgeted as he looked at the little girl who seemed to be about his age, but he simply could not bring himself to address her.

Rin's eye twitched as well as she looked at the person who should have been Shirou Emiya but had somehow become Shirou Emiya. What happened last night? Forget it, Kirei Kotomine turning out like this is ultimately a good thing. Shirou Emiya it is, then. Maybe I can even get a useful tool for free.

Having finished her calculations, Rin waved a hand.

"Forget it, Kirei. Your adopted son is about the same age as me, so he probably can't bring himself to call me Auntie. We'll each address the other however we like. Oh, Kirei, I almost forgot why I came. Is your father in the church? And can your television work?"

"Yes, my father is resting in the chapel, and the television works. Do you need me to take you there, Rin?"

Just as Rin was about to speak, she suddenly heard humming from behind her and remembered that she had brought along a troublesome person.

When Taiga Fujimura had entered the garden earlier and seen Kirei and Shirou doing their morning training, she had realized that they were the martial arts masters she had been looking for. After Rin and Kirei Kotomine finished talking, Taiga Fujimura could no longer hold herself back. But remembering that Rin had told her not to speak, she could only keep humming to remind Rin.

"Oh, Kirei, the person behind me wants to learn Baji Quan. You can decide for yourself. You don't need to accompany me; I can go in on my own. See you later."

After Rin left the garden and entered the church, Taiga Fujimura dropped into a full prostration before Kirei Kotomine, kneeling at his feet.

"Master, please accept me!"

"Why do you want to learn fistfighting?"

"Master, I've wanted to become a hero and help others ever since I was little. But I'm not capable enough, and I often cause trouble. Today, when I saw Rin's skills, I finally learned that such martial arts existed in this world. I hope to learn martial arts so I can help others better."

"Help others, huh? Get up. Starting today, if you are willing, you may come to the church every morning and train with me..."

"Yes! Thank you, Master!"

Rin entered the church alone, passing through the long corridor and arriving at the church's backyard.

In the open space behind the church, Risei Kirei stood perfectly still with his eyes closed, holding a Baji Quan stance.

Rin coughed and called out.

"Grandpa Risei."

Risei Kirei opened his eyes and turned to look at Rin.

"Oh, it's Rin. What is it?"

"Grandpa Risei, what does the church think about the Fuyuki Incident?"

"Don't worry, Rin. I still have a little influence within the church. I have already informed the nearby churches and only reported it to the higher-ups as the Leyline Rampage Incident. Besides, the church never cared much about this part of the Far East. But I'm afraid there is nothing I can do about the Mage's Association."

Hearing Risei Kirei's words, Rin gratefully bowed to him. What a good person. He doesn't even hold a grudge over my earlier threats. He really is an incredibly good person.

"Thank you very much. I'm sorry for troubling you, Grandpa Risei. I reached an agreement with Kotomine Kirei regarding the Mage's Association. His faction will help me smooth over this matter. Oh, Grandpa Risei, I want to watch television. Which room has one?"

"That room over there. There is a television in Kirei's room."

"Then I won't disturb your morning training any longer, Grandpa Risei. See you later."

"Yes, see you later, Rin."

Risei Kirei watched Rin enter the room he had pointed out and slowly let out a breath. Thank goodness this girl didn't come to trouble these old bones of mine. Thank goodness I can return to Europe after handing the Fuyuki Church over to Kirei in a few days. Sigh! My younger brother Tokiomi, your daughter really scared me badly last time.

"...According to reports, Mt. Ryudou in Fuyuki City was the epicenter of a magnitude 5.8 earthquake last night, resulting in the emergency evacuation of the entire city..."

Rin watched the news on television. When she saw that ordinary people had interpreted last night's disaster as an earthquake, she finally relaxed. Kotomine Kirei must have pulled some strings. I wonder how many people were hypnotized. That guy is pretty efficient...

At that moment, Kotomine Kirei, who was on a plane with his fiancée and disciple as they prepared to return to London, sneezed.

Sola, seated beside Kotomine Kirei, hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it to him after hearing him sneeze.

"Are you alright, Kotomine Kirei? Did you catch a chill last night?"

Kotomine Kirei looked at Sola beside him, smiling happily as he reached out and took her hand.

"Don't worry, Sola. I'm fine."

Waver, seated nearby, turned away and helplessly curled his lip. Thinking about how he was now Kotomine Kirei's disciple, and how he would have to spend so much time around him in the future, he could not help but howl inwardly. Ah, someone save me! I can't take any more of this lovey-dovey nonsense...

I finally finished five chapters after staying up all night!!!!!!

Please, dear readers, give me a miracle. I hope I wake up to good results!!!

I'd like to thank all of you readers in advance for your votes, bookmarks, and tips!!!!!

I'll schedule the remaining chapter for 12 o'clock, and I'll post another one when I wake up!!!

The Curtain Falls!!

The Great Cavern beneath the former Mt. Ryudou.

Zouken Matou and Kiritsugu Emiya stood before the core of the Fuyuki Greater Grail, looking at the enormous fifty-meter-radius magic circle embedded in the basin-shaped rock.

"Hehehe, Kiritsugu Emiya, now that you have seen the Grail's true form and the purpose behind its creation, do you agree to cooperate with me?"

Kiritsugu Emiya frowned as he considered everything Zouken Matou had told him. Heaven's Feel, the Third Magic, the sacrifice of the Winter Saintess, using Servants to open a hole to the Outer Side of the World, an omnipotent wish-granting machine.

After thinking for a moment and looking at the core of the Grail before him, Kiritsugu Emiya nodded.

"I agree."

Zouken Matou looked at the dimly glowing Grail core before him and recalled how, two hundred years ago, he had worked with Nagato Tohsaka and Justeaze Lizrich von Einsbern to establish the Heaven's Feel ritual in Fuyuki City. Why did I do it? Forget it, I forgot long ago. As long as I obtain the Grail and complete the Third Magic, nothing else matters.

"Very good, Kiritsugu Emiya. Then let us go meet our other companion."

The two left the Great Cavern and walked through the ruins formed by the locks of the Garden of Avalon. After avoiding several magical traps left behind by Rin, Zouken Matou and Kiritsugu Emiya arrived at the room sealing Angra Mainyu and the Grail's magical energy.

Zouken Matou looked approvingly at the magecraft Rin had arranged.

"Hehehe, that little girl is truly a genius. Not only did she use this magecraft to create illusions and confuse ordinary people, she also extracted their malice and dispersed it outside. Even if those ordinary people broke through the illusions, that malice would frighten them away. What a pity such an excellent vessel was born into the Tohsaka family instead of my Matou family."

Kiritsugu Emiya ignored Zouken Matou, who was inspecting Rin's magecraft and muttering to himself. Instead, he surveyed the entire hall. In the center was an enormous thirty-meter-wide Sealing Array, emitting a gentle blue glow that obscured what lay within. The empty hall's surrounding walls were covered in all kinds of magecraft. As a Magus, Kiritsugu Emiya could not understand any of it, but the magical energy radiating from it still made him wary.

Before long, Zouken Matou finished inspecting the magecraft while muttering to himself, led Kiritsugu Emiya past numerous defensive spells, and arrived beside the sealing array in the center of the hall.

"Hehehe, Angra Mainyu, are you not going to show yourself even when your allies have come?"

At Zouken Matou's question, a black handprint appeared on the inner side of the sealing array. Then the blue light flashed where the handprint had appeared, accompanied by a howl of agony, and the hand vanished.

Angra Mainyu's venomous voice then came from within the Sealing Array.

"Zouken Matou, you still dare show your face before me."

"Hehehe, Angra Mainyu, I was the one who helped you break free from the Grail core's restraints and released you last night. Hehehe, aren't we allies?"

"Zouken is wrong. Makiri Zolgen, if we are allies, why didn't you come help me last night?"

"Hehehe, Angra Mainyu, when I released you, I asked you to give me the Winter Saintess's soul fragments. You refused. Hehehe, what could a mere Magus like me have done in last night's battle? Hehehe."

"Makiri Zolgen, then release me now."

"Hehehehe, a Divine Age Seal of this level is not something a Magus of my level can resolve. Besides, my body is already nearing its limit. But now we have a new partner. As long as he can provide me with qualified Magi, I may be able to recover and gradually wear down this seal with time. Hehehe."

When the conversation turned to him, Kiritsugu Emiya calmly looked at Zouken Matou and the seal before him.

"I have no problem with that, as long as you give me the Grail in the end."

"Of course, Kiritsugu Emiya. Haven't I said so? What I need is the Third Magic to achieve immortality. What Angra Mainyu needs is revenge. The Grail can be entirely yours to save the world with. Hehehehe."

"Then I have no objections."

Zouken Matou tapped the ground with his cane and looked at the Sealing Array before him.

"Angra Mainyu, hehehe, what about you?"

"Makiri Zolgen, remember this: if you are deceiving me, you will be the first person I take revenge on after I get out!"

At noon, Tsuruno Matou returned to the Matou Residence with his maid and son, dusty from travel.

Tsuruno Matou looked at Shinji Matou, who was being supported by the maid behind him, and snapped at him irritably.

"Shinji, you have been complaining the entire way. I took you to the hospital for an examination, and there's clearly nothing wrong with you. Stop pretending."

Supported by the maid, Shinji Matou clutched his heart and replied with a trembling voice.

"Dad, my heart really hurts. It really does, Dad."

"Hmph. Forget it. Take Shinji back to his room to rest. I'm going to find Kariya. That old man is dead now, so I can't let Kariya take away the property."

"Don't worry, Brother. I don't want anything in this house. Leave everything to you and Shinji. I'm preparing to leave this city now. Don't worry, I really won't ever come back this time."

Tsuruno Matou turned around and saw Kariya Matou behind him, carrying luggage. He awkwardly did not know what to do with his hands or feet.

"Kariya, that's not what I meant. I... yes, look, Shinji is still so young, and unlike you, I don't have much ability. I'm only worried about Shinji's future."

Kariya Matou looked at his hypocritical older brother, shook his head, and spoke indifferently.

"Don't worry, Brother. I really won't come back. You know that old man was the one who called me back this time. Now that he is dead, just act as though I never existed in this family."

Seeing Kariya Matou speak like that, Tsuruno Matou finally relaxed. Looking at his younger brother, he said hypocritically.

"Since you have made up your mind, Kariya, your big brother won't stop you. But if you ever need my help in the future, remember to contact me. I am still your big brother, after all."

Kariya Matou did not look at his hypocritical older brother again. Instead, he walked over to the maid, rubbed Shinji Matou's head, and said:

"Shinji, your uncle is leaving. Take good care of yourself from now on. And remember what your uncle tells you: never get involved with magecraft. Never."

Shinji Matou looked at this stranger, clutched his heart, and nodded perfunctorily.

Kariya Matou took one final look at the place where he had grown up, then left with his luggage without looking back. Kariya Matou was now like the wind, with no restraints left upon him. Ever since the day he had met Rin and Sakura at the Matou Residence, Kariya Matou had understood that he and they did not belong to the same world. The naive man he had once been was gone. Now, it was time to seek his own happiness.

After seeing Kariya Matou off from the garden, Tsuruno Matou happily entered Zouken Matou's room, intending to retrieve property deeds and other valuables to transfer into his own name. Behind him stood Shinji Matou, his face covered in blood and his expression dark.

Tsuruno Matou turned around. Seeing Shinji Matou covered in blood, he collapsed to the ground in fright. Shinji looked at the useless man sprawled before him, but the voice emerging from Shinji Matou's mouth was Zouken Matou's.

"Hehehe, Tsuruno, what are you trying to do?"

As this peaceful and tranquil day passed in Fuyuki City, the Holy Grail War and its aftermath would gradually fade from the city's memories with the passage of time. Fuyuki City would remain as peaceful as ever in the future!

"I Activated FGO 3.0"

A New Morning

Rin repeatedly examined the soul fragments in her hand. After a long time, she sighed, casually placed them in a drawer, then picked up the draft on the desk that was covered in densely written mysterious characters, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash.

Suddenly, the electronic clock on the desk rang. The time had quietly reached 4:30 p.m. on November 27, 1997.

Rin turned to look at the ringing electronic clock, picked it up to turn off the alarm, put it back, then stood and grabbed the coat draped over the back of her chair.

In the hallway, Aoi Tohsaka smiled as she watched Rin come running toward her. Over the past few years, Aoi Tohsaka had grown accustomed to her daughter's careless nature.

"Rin, are you going to pick Sakura up from school?"

"Yes, Mom. I can't talk now, or I'll be late."

Rin then rushed into the yard in a whirlwind, wheeled a custom-made small motorbike out of the garage, fastened her helmet, swung herself onto the bike, twisted the throttle, and shot out through the front gate.
