"Please! Shirou, we're magi too, aren't we? What if Sakura really went to London? At worst, we can ask Rin for help and have her take us with her!"
At this moment, Shinji Matou didn't know that originally, he shouldn't have had any aptitude for magecraft. However, after being possessed by Zouken Matou in his childhood, Zouken Matou, who was very dissatisfied with this body, successfully unblocked Shinji Matou's magic circuits with the help of Kiritsugu Emiya years ago. Of course, all of this was done while Shinji Matou was in a coma, and Shinji Matou himself was completely unaware of it.
Shirou Emiya awkwardly scratched his head.
"It seems that's really the case. Thank you, Shinji."
Just then, the door to the rooftop was opened. Karen, who had skipped grades through her own efforts, also came to Shirou Emiya's private Hohngawara Academy this year.
"Big Brother, Brother Shinji, what are you two talking about?"
Shinji Matou looked at the cute Karen in front of him, smiled, and reached out to ruffle her head.
"We were talking about Sakura."
"Oh! I get it, Big Brother was overthinking again, wasn't he?"
Shirou Emiya gave Karen a wry smile, unwrapped the bento bag, and took out three lunch boxes.
Karen and Shinji Matou each took a lunch box.
"Thank you, Shirou. I'm always troubling you to prepare lunch for me."
"You're welcome. Well~ After all, your father he…"
"Shirou, don't mention that guy! He's not my father."
"Sorry!"
Karen looked helplessly at Shirou Emiya, who had said the wrong thing again. She put down her lunch box and walked to Shinji Matou.
"Brother Shinji, I'm sorry. Big Brother is an idiot and often speaks without thinking."
Shinji Matou raised his gloomy face and looked at Karen. His expression slowly returned to normal.
"It's not Shirou's fault. We've been best friends for so many years, of course I know his bad habits. I'm just angry at that guy Tsuruno!"
"I'm glad you don't blame Big Brother!"
Perhaps because of the atmosphere just now, the three of them sat quietly on the rooftop eating their lunch boxes, without further conversation.
Just as they were about to finish, Shinji Matou suddenly looked at Karen and Shirou Emiya and asked.
"Karen, Shirou, can the Holy Grail really grant any wish?"

The Fifth Holy Grail War is about to begin, please look forward to it!
Section 77 Chapter 75: Holy Grail War - Prelude!
After school, Shinji Matou bid farewell to Karen and Shirou Emiya and wandered alone through Fuyuki City.
When he passed by the entrance of a small bar, Shinji Matou stopped. He took out his wallet from his pocket, carefully counted the bills inside, and then sighed. He silently turned and left the small bar.
As night fell, Shinji Matou carried a few bottles of low-quality sake he had managed to get and went to the seaside alone.
Looking at the vast sea before him, Shinji Matou took out a bottle of sake from his bag, twisted open the cap, and tilted his head back, drinking more than half of the bottle in one go.
"Hah!"
Sighing with the smell of alcohol, Shinji Matou recalled Shirou Emiya's strange expression and subsequent persuasion when he mentioned the Holy Grail War on the rooftop earlier that day. He couldn't help but pick up the bottle again and finish the rest in one go.
"Shirou, what should I do? What can I do? I just want to escape this house!"
Meanwhile, at the Matou Residence, Tsuruno Matou, reeking of alcohol, was sleeping soundly in a woman's embrace. Suddenly, his hand hurt as a bug was biting it, causing him to involuntarily open his eyes.
"Ah!"
With Tsuruno Matou's scream, the woman beside him also woke up. Seeing the old man covered in pus-filled blisters and oozing pus, the woman couldn't help but scream.
Zouken Matou looked at the screaming woman and revealed a sinister smile. A dozen worms flew out from his sleeve, and the room instantly returned to quiet.
Tsuruno Matou's eyes widened. He covered his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound, and watched as the woman he had just been lying with was dragged to Zouken Matou by more than a dozen worms. Then, a sea of worms surged, leaving only a pool of blood and a few tattered clothes on the ground.
As the woman was absorbed by Zouken Matou, the pus-filled blisters on Zouken Matou's skin disappeared.
"Tsuruno, have you prepared what I wanted?"
Tsuruno Matou covered his mouth and nodded desperately while looking at a cabinet by the bed.
"Very good, Tsuruno. This old man won't disturb you any further. You should rest, hehehe!"
After Zouken Matou left the room, Tsuruno Matou collapsed on the bed. He couldn't help but turn to look at the photo on the bedside table, remembering his wife, who had been devoured by Zouken Matou in front of him years ago.
"First Reiko, then Shinji, and now it's almost my turn? Kariya, I envy you!"
Late at night, Shinji Matou staggered home, reeking of alcohol, and went straight to his room. Without changing his clothes, he casually fell onto the bed and fell asleep with the covers on.
Suddenly, Shinji Matou on the bed sat up straight, his eyes showing no trace of drunkenness.
"Hehehe, Shinji, you actually want to escape this house. This truly breaks this grandfather's heart."
After speaking, Shinji Matou left the room and went into the basement. He looked at Kiritsugu Emiya, who was already waiting in the basement, and asked.
"Emiya? Did you bring it?"
Kiritsugu Emiya frowned and looked at Zouken Matou, who had taken over the young boy's body. He took Avalon out of his body and handed it to Zouken Matou.
Shinji Matou took Avalon and then put it inside himself. Next, he walked to a cabinet beside the basement and took out a withered arm with Command Spells.
"Shirou, does this arm look familiar? Hehehe."
"Zouken, you talk too much, hurry up and start!"
"Alright."
Shinji Matou, holding the arm, walked to a vat filled with black mud and then dipped the end with the Command Spells into the black mud, chanting continuously.
As Shinji Matou chanted, the black mud was slowly absorbed by the Command Spells on the arm until it disappeared.
Shinji Matou picked up the arm and nodded with satisfaction at the Command Spells, which had turned dark red. He then peeled the Command Spells off the arm and transferred them to his own hand.
"Now, one of the trump cards is in hand. Shirou, the thing you want is in Tsuruno's room, in the cabinet. Go get it. Soon, all our wishes will be granted, hehehe!"
Tohsaka Estate, Sakura's room.
Sakura and Fujino were sneakily hiding in a corner of the room.
"Sakura, is this really okay?"
"Don't worry, Sakura. Is it wrong for us to help Master?"
"But didn't Big Sister say not to interfere in the Holy Grail War?"
"We're not summoning a Servant, we're just having you and me form a contract, and I'll transform into a Servant state, just in case!"
"Alright then!"
"Then it's settled! See you tomorrow night at the back mountain."
Fuyuki Cathedral Church.
Kirei Kotomine frowned as he looked at his adopted son.
"Shirou, have you really decided to participate in this Holy Grail War?"
"Father, yes. I don't want the tragedy from 10 years ago to repeat itself. So I beg you, allow me to participate, and please tell me how to summon a Servant."
Kirei Kotomine stroked his chin.
With Rin there, Shirou is bound to fail. If I wait until Shirou is in a desperate situation, then I'll go save him... Pleasure!
Kirei Kotomine's eyes flashed, and he eagerly began to explain the rules of the Holy Grail War to Shirou Emiya.
Kallian, standing beside them, held her forehead with a headache, looking at her father. Kallian understood that her father had "broken" again.
Tohsaka Villa.
According to the information from the surveillance equipment at the sealed location, the seal would be broken in at most a week, which also indicated that the Holy Grail War would commence within this week.
Rin also had to start implementing her plan. After contacting Arisu and Aoko as agreed, Rin brought Touko to the Tohsaka Villa and found Waver and Gry.
"Waver, the Holy Grail War will restart within this week. How are your preparations?"
Waver, with a cigar in his mouth, slowly nodded at Rin. My King, is it finally time to meet again!
"Regarding Gry, her help in my research is basically complete. Now, Gry has two choices. One, I will grant Gry a Blank Spirit Foundation, allowing her to also have a Servant state. Two, extract Gry's blood to help us summon the King of Knights. This choice is yours, Waver."
"Rin, you must remember your promise not to let Gry get hurt, so I choose two."
"As expected? Then Da Vinci, I'll leave it to you."
"OK! Leave it to me."
After speaking, Da Vinci took Gry and left the hall, heading towards the research room to extract blood.
At this moment, Rin turned to look at Touko.
"Touko, have you really decided not to summon a Servant?"
Touko looked at Rin and nodded.
"Rin, I don't need a Servant. Acting with Arisu and Aoko will be more convenient."
"Touko, your reason for not needing a Servant can't be this simple, can it? Never mind, as you wish!"
Touko looked at the indifferent Rin and smiled.
As expected, Rin hasn't changed at all. But Servants are irrelevant to me now. When the time comes, prepare to be greatly surprised, Rin!
Germany, Einsbern Castle, where snowflakes were falling.
Illya, with two android maids, slowly walked out of the gates of Einsbern Castle.
"Sella, Lieseltotte, this time we will definitely make Kiritsugu realize his mistake!"
"Yes, Miss. You will definitely make Kiritsugu pay the price for betraying you." X2
"No, I just want Kiritsugu to realize his mistake, right Berserker."
"Roar!"
Chapter 78: Chapter Seventy-Six: Solomon, Rin's Misfortune!
Fuyuki City, within the urban area, in a residence, Dr. Hartless, covering his nose with his remaining right hand, pushed the door open and walked in.
"Art, art, this is perfect art, so cool!"
A weak yet fervent voice reached Dr. Hartless's ears.
Dr. Hartless glanced at the middle-aged man, who was reduced to a non-human form by Aiga's torment, then walked over to Aiga and bowed slowly.
"My Lady Aiga, as you commanded, I have prepared the magic circle at the ley line's node. All that's left is for you to activate it."
"Ah, thank you for your hard work! Oh, Dr. Hartless, look at this person, isn't he adorable?"
Dr. Hartless looked at the madman being tormented by Aiga on the ground. The corners of his eyes twitched involuntarily. He truly couldn't understand what was adorable about the middle-aged man on the floor.
Seeing Dr. Hartless's silence, Aiga's expression instantly soured.
"As expected, none of you understand. Only Rin-chan can understand me. My Rin-chan, I want to devour you so badly."
As she said this, Aiga unconsciously put a finger into her mouth.
"But 'Mother' won't allow it. I'm so troubled. Solomon, can you please talk to my 'Mother' for me and ask her to let me devour Rin-chan?"
A flash of light appeared behind Aiga, and Solomon, the Caster class, materialized behind her.
Solomon looked at the Root Princess before him with a headache and shook his head helplessly.
Aiga, seeing that Solomon behind her hadn't agreed to her request, instantly erased a Command Spell on her chest. Solomon froze in place. Then, she erased another Command Spell, and Solomon's eyes became hollow, like a puppet.
