I, Rin Tohsaka, Would Never Become a Dutiful Daughter Just to Become a Demon God-Absolutely Not! / On the Road to Becoming a Demon God: Talking with the Primordial Gehenna!
"Okay, Sis."
"Then stop pretending, Caster, Assassin. Take down that old worm for me."
The moment Rin finished speaking, a figure in a blue hooded cloak and another in black formal attire appeared beside her. Luckily, no one was nearby; otherwise, their ears would have been far too easily associated with elves.
"Master, is it finally my turn?" Assassin said delightedly. As she appeared, purple poisonous mist began to mix into the thick fog.
Caster nodded, spread open her cloak, and soared into the sky from the ground. Then countless magic circles appeared around her, and Mage Cannons blasted into the fog one after another.
Zouken Matou had never expected that an operation to capture two mere young Magi would turn into a situation where he had to face two Servants. He fled the thick fog in a sorry state, leaving Zenchou Villa shrouded in mist.
"Damn it, what is going on? Why are there two Servants here? Did Tokiomi send both his and Kirei's Heroic Spirits here?"
Assassin and Caster, who had chased out of the fog, launched another attack. Violent Mage Cannons and deadly poison instantly swallowed Zouken Matou. After confirming that he had been eliminated, the two nodded to each other and returned to Rin's side. Once they left, a bug burrowed out of the ground where the attack had struck. It seemed Zouken Matou would not be so easily destroyed.
Rin watched Caster and Assassin return, then had Sakura dispel the fog. She calmly faced the stunned Aoi Tohsaka.
"Rin, Sakura, what is going on? The two by your side are Servants, right? Did your father send them?"
"Mom, I'm sorry. I'll explain everything after this is over. For now, please sleep peacefully."
The pendant Rin had just given Aoi Tohsaka emitted a red glow. Aoi suddenly felt an overwhelming wave of drowsiness and could no longer endure it. Murmuring Rin and Sakura's names, she collapsed to the ground.
"Sakura, I'll leave Mom to you."
Sakura looked at the sorrow in Rin's eyes and slowly embraced her.
"Sis, don't be sad. Once everything is over, Mom and Dad will forgive us."
Comforted by Sakura, Rin regained her composure. She glanced at Sakura, who was watching her with concern, and revealed her old confident smile.
"Caster, Queen, let's go. We'll secure victory in this Holy Grail War now."
Assassin smiled faintly as she looked at Rin with delight.
"Little Master, I'll be looking forward to your performance."
Caster hurriedly pulled down her hood, revealing her beautiful face. Her pointed ears seemed to twitch nervously.
"Master, I really can't let you call me Mom. Your real mother is still lying there. I don't want to become the next one."
Rin rolled her eyes at Caster.
"Hey, Caster, you're the Traitor Witch, yet you're afraid I'll set you up? Don't worry, I definitely won't abandon you."
"So that means you will set me up..."
Sakura supported the sleeping Aoi Tohsaka and watched Rin walk away, speaking worriedly.
"Sis, you have to come back safely."
As Rin returned to Fuyuki City with her two Servants.
The Fuyuki City docks also marked the opening of the Holy Grail War.
It was as if the Heroic Age of ancient times had returned. A spear and a hidden sword clashed at speeds beyond human comprehension.
As lightning tore across the sky and struck the center of the battlefield, the two Servants preparing to resume their fight stared in the direction it had come from. A massive chariot, accompanied by lightning and drawn by two powerful bulls, swept through the sky and landed in the center of the battlefield.
The red-haired, burly man driving the chariot impatiently spread his arms after landing and shouted.
"Both of you, sheathe your weapons! You stand before a King. My name is Iskandar, King of Conquerors. In this Holy Grail War, I have manifested under the Rider class."
Waver, sitting atop the chariot, stared at Rider in disbelief and cried out.
"What the hell are you thinking, you idiot?!"
There will be another chapter update at nine!
I, Rin Tohsaka, Absolutely Wouldn't Become a Filial Daughter Just to Become a Demon God!
After leaving Zenchou Villa, Assassin transformed into spirit form. Caster carefully carried Rin in her arms, letting her lie comfortably against her as they rose into the sky and rapidly flew toward the Tohsaka Estate.
Rin shifted her head slightly, allowing herself to better enjoy Caster's soft body. She deeply inhaled the fragrance Caster gave off before speaking.
"Caster, you're so nice."
Caster froze for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Fuyuki City, dock district.
Kotomine Kirei, hidden behind a shipping container, listened to the King of Conquerors' mockery and silently clenched his teeth.
"Damn it!"
On the battlefield of Heroic Spirits, the King of Conquerors was laughing heartily when he suddenly stopped and turned to look around.
"Hey, there are others here, aren't there? You people hiding in the shadows and watching us."
"What do you mean, Rider?" Saber could not help asking.
The King of Conquerors gave Saber a thumbs-up and answered calmly.
"Saber and Lancer, your honorable battle was truly magnificent. I'm sure I wasn't the only one drawn here by the clear sound of sword and spear. Heroic Spirits summoned by the Holy Grail, gather here now!"
The King of Conquerors clenched both fists, raised them above his head, and shouted loudly!
"You cowards afraid to show your faces cannot escape the scorn of Iskandar, King of Conquerors!"
The moment he finished speaking, golden particles slowly formed a figure atop a streetlamp. Humanity's oldest King, Gilgamesh, appeared as Archer!
"To ignore my existence, and yet two vermin who call themselves Kings have appeared in a single night."
Tohsaka Estate.
Caster carried Rin and slowly descended onto the road outside the Tohsaka Estate.
Rin elegantly leaped out of Caster's arms and landed steadily on the ground.
"Caster, give me your Noble Phantasm. Then enter spirit form and follow me."
"Okay."
As light gathered in Caster's hand, a lightning-shaped dagger appeared.
"Master, here!"
Caster then handed Jewel Sword to Rin.
Rin accepted Jewel Sword and carefully placed it in the small shoulder bag at her side. She nodded seriously to Caster, then turned and pushed open the gates of the Tohsaka Estate.
As Rin turned away, Caster gradually became transparent and vanished.
After returning to the Tohsaka Estate, Rin hurried into the basement. As expected, Tokiomi Tohsaka was sitting before a magically modified gramophone, and Kirei Kotomine's voice came clearly from it.
At the Holy Church, Kirei Kotomine was using a familiar to observe the Servant battle at the Fuyuki docks. Through the gramophone Tokiomi Tohsaka had provided, he was reporting the battlefield situation to Tokiomi when Rin's voice suddenly came through the device.
Rin entered the basement and carefully approached Tokiomi from behind, but even her caution alerted him.
Tokiomi Tohsaka turned around in surprise and looked at his eldest daughter. Wasn't Rin supposed to be staying at Zenchou Villa on Fuyuki City's outskirts with Aoi and Sakura to avoid this Holy Grail War? Why had Rin returned? Had something happened there? Filled with confusion, Tokiomi asked Rin with concern.
"Rin, why did you come back? Didn't I tell you that during the Holy Grail War, you were to take good care of your mother and sister and stay at Zenchou Villa for a week? Did something happen there?"
Seeing the concern on Tokiomi Tohsaka's face, Rin's heart ached slightly. But when she thought of the tragedy that would befall this family, she hardened her resolve once more. Putting on a sorrowful expression, she answered.
"Dad, Zouken Matou attacked Zenchou Villa. Sakura and I did our best to drive him away, but Mom fainted during the attack."
Rin's voice traveled clearly through the gramophone to the Holy Church. Kirei Kotomine understood that this was the signal Rin had arranged beforehand. This was the last chance to expose Rin's plan to his teacher. Hesitating slightly, he turned to Risei Kirei, seeming to wait for him to make the decision.
Risei Kirei looked at his beloved son, sighed, and nodded firmly. Tokiomi, do not blame me.
When Kirei Kotomine saw Risei Kirei nod, his expression immediately returned to normal. He reported the latest battlefield developments through the gramophone with a hint of urgency.
"Teacher, Gilgamesh is serious. He wants to continue releasing Gate of Babylon."
The voice from the gramophone interrupted Tokiomi Tohsaka's thoughts. Unable to deal with both the Heroic Spirit battlefield report and Rin's news at once, his mind in disarray, Tokiomi anxiously turned toward the gramophone and said.
"To repeatedly display his ultimate Noble Phantasm before everyone... How careless!"
"Teacher, please make your decision!"
Tokiomi slowly raised his right hand and looked at the Command Spells on the back of it. He failed to notice that Rin now held a lightning-shaped dagger behind him, gleaming with cold light. It was Jewel Sword.
"By my Command Spells, King of Heroes, please quell your anger and retreat."
As the Command Spells in his hand lit up, a sharp pain came from behind him. Tokiomi slowly turned around in disbelief. Tearfully, Rin had driven a lightning-shaped dagger into the body of her father.
"Rin, why?!"
Rin shed tears as she answered firmly.
"Dad, forgive me. I'll explain everything to you."
She pulled out Jewel Sword and tossed it to the ground. Healing Magecraft glowed in her hand, covering Tokiomi Tohsaka's wound. Then she turned around, wiped her tears away with her sleeve, and looked at the golden figure that had appeared.
"Tokiomi, you summoned me back so urgently just to watch this little play? It is indeed a decent performance. Little girl, you are unqualified to become my vassal. I permit you to commit suicide and atone for your offense, mongrel."
Rin rolled up her sleeve and dispelled the Mirage Magic covering her arm. Dense Command Spells appeared on her arm, fifteen in total upon closer inspection: ten from the Church, two from Tokiomi, and three from Kirei Kotomine. Looking fearlessly at Gilgamesh, whose brow had furrowed slightly, she said.
"King of Heroes, I know you dislike my father. In that case, I, Rin Tohsaka, will accompany you through this Holy Grail War from now on. By five Command Spells, King of Heroes, during the Holy Grail War, you shall recover the Holy Grail you lost under my assistance. By five Command Spells, King of Heroes, please protect me and my allies during the Holy Grail War."
As the Command Spells took effect, Gilgamesh looked at Rin with a trace of appreciation.
"Little girl, I have suddenly taken some interest in you. Very well, during this Holy Grail War, I permit you to replace your father as my vassal and assist me. Now, have your retainers reveal themselves."
"Assassin, Caster! By the King's command, reveal yourselves!"
As Assassin and Caster appeared, Rin walked to the gramophone and said.
"Kirei, the plan is complete. Please come to the Tohsaka Estate now."
Gilgamesh slowly walked to the unconscious Tokiomi, picked up Jewel Sword from the ground, and toyed with it with an amused expression.
On the Road to Becoming a Demon God, Rin Tohsaka Speaks with the Oldest King!
Caster stared nervously at Jewel Sword in Gilgamesh's hand, seeming to want to reclaim her Noble Phantasm. But recalling Rin's earlier warning, she did not dare act rashly.
Assassin elegantly covered her lips with her slender hand and gazed at Gilgamesh with a soft laugh, seemingly unconcerned. Yet the killing intent in her eyes was ready to burst forth.
Gilgamesh stopped moving, his brow furrowing slightly as he looked at Assassin and Caster with displeasure.
"Caster, Assassin, do not be disrespectful toward the King of Heroes. My apologies, King of Heroes. Assassin and Caster do not yet understand your greatness. I believe you will soon display your glory before them and let them bask in your magnificent radiance."
Gilgamesh relaxed, the corner of his mouth curling slightly. He casually tossed Jewel Sword into Caster's arms, then flashed with golden light and changed into casual clothes before walking out of the basement.
"Little girl, it seems you understand me well. Then this time, I shall be magnanimous. If you two do it again, kill yourselves, mongrels."
Watching Gilgamesh leave, Rin slowly let out a breath and turned to them apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Assassin, Caster. You had to suffer that humiliation."
"Master, it's fine. For Master's victory, this is nothing. It's just that bastard was also so disrespectful to Master. How hateful!" Caster put away Jewel Sword, and her tone became gritted and furious toward the end.
Assassin spoke indifferently.
"This King was already famous in my era. It seems rumors are not entirely false."
Rin nodded seriously.
"He really is an extremely willful King, but he also has a good side. It seems my father summoned the worst period of him."
After speaking, Rin walked to Tokiomi Tohsaka's side and crouched down. She turned to Caster and said.
"Caster, please use the Golden Fleece to heal my father. Having his contract suddenly severed seems to have affected him badly. His Magic Circuits are somewhat damaged."
Caster nodded and quickly took out a sheepskin covered in golden wool, draping it over Tokiomi Tohsaka. As the Golden Fleece took effect, Tokiomi's breathing gradually steadied.
After receiving Rin's instructions, Kirei Kotomine rushed toward the Tohsaka Estate at full speed and arrived soon after.
