I, Fu Yuan, Will Blow Up the Holy Grail War

Queen Scáthach of the Land of Shadows. Fu Yuan knew about her, after all, he was a transmigrator.

That queen was a powerful being who, in her mortal form, had slain countless gods, demons, and monsters. Therefore, gaining her approval wouldn't be a simple matter.

"Gaining the approval of the Queen of the Land of Shadows, huh? That's a truly challenging task." A look of eagerness spread across Fu Yuan's handsome face.

Having acquired the Valkyrie: Vermilion Knight template, Fu Yuan was now considered a warrior. Besides his interest in cultivation, he was also keen on training with powerful individuals.

So, everyone might be wondering next.

Scáthach resides in the Land of Shadows, which is outside the world. How will Fu Yuan get there and earn her approval?

Ah, you've hit the nail on the head.

You might have noticed the System's daily quest asking Fu Yuan, "Do you wish to begin the daily quest now?" You've likely already guessed.

That's right!

The System will help Fu Yuan travel to the Land of Shadows outside the world and meet the Queen of the Land of Shadows, who is neither dead nor aged.

The System will either transport Fu Yuan to the Land of Shadows outside the world, or it will bring Scáthach from the Land of Shadows over. Then, Fu Yuan can complete this daily quest.

As for what "outside the world" means.

That's simple.

As the "mystery" of the Type-Moon world gradually fades, the fantasy races, non-humans, and beings transcending humanity that once lived in this world are all pushed to the outer world by the Counter Force.

And the Queen of the Land of Shadows, Scáthach, along with her Land of Shadows, is located in this outer world.

Simply put...

The outer world is filled with powerful and unfathomable beings.

The surface world is where ordinary people live. Although some possess strange powers, they haven't reached the level where the Counter Force would expel them to the outer world.

Fu Yuan, however, is not suppressed by this world's Counter Force because he has the System. The System has already masked and hidden his existence.

Therefore, even if Fu Yuan possessed the power to obliterate this world with a single punch, the world's Counter Force wouldn't detect his presence.

The seemingly ordinary Fu Yuan looked at the "Do you wish to begin the daily quest now?" prompt in his daily quest log. Of course, he chose "No."

Because Fu Yuan needed to go to the Tohma Family's residence and rescue Matou Sakura, preventing her from being harmed by Matou Zouken. Therefore, now was not the time to start this daily quest.

Who knew if Matou Sakura would already have been thrown into Matou Zouken's Magic Crest Worms by the time Fu Yuan finished this daily quest and returned?

As for the daily quest disappearing, Fu Yuan didn't need to worry about that. The daily quests refresh at 4 AM, giving him over twenty hours to complete this quest with its generous rewards.

Fu Yuan had just arrived at the Tohma Family's residence when he happened to see three figures emerging from the house.

Looking at the three figures, Fu Yuan thought to himself, I'm not late, and it seems I've arrived at just the right moment.

Chapter 4: Fu Yuan, Arriving With the Wind

The three figures emerging from the Tohma Family residence.

The first figure was Tohsaka Tokiomi. He wore a deep red suit and, with his stern demeanor, sported a neatly trimmed goatee, giving him a clean and sharp appearance.

The second figure was Matou Zouken. He was a gaunt old man, dressed in a kimono of blue and dark gray. His head and limbs were as withered as a mummy's, appearing as if only skin clung to bone.

The last figure was, naturally, Tohsaka Sakura, whom Fu Yuan was familiar with. However, she had already been adopted by the Matou family by Tohsaka Tokiomi. She was no longer Tohsaka Sakura but "Matou Sakura."

Little Matou Sakura was as adorable as her older sister, Tohsaka Rin, with the same emerald eyes and black hair. However, she now kept her head bowed, her petite, delicate body trembling slightly.

She was like a flower bud shivering in a strong wind.

Fu Yuan, who cultivated True Qi, could sense the aura of sadness and confusion emanating from Matou Sakura nearby.

This was understandable. Matou Sakura had been given away to another family by her own father. It was only natural for her to feel sad and bewildered.

Tohsaka Tokiomi, maintaining an elegant and composed posture, said to Matou Zouken, "Then, Patriarch Matou, I entrust my daughter, Tohsaka Sakura, to you from now on."

"Heh heh, don't worry, don't worry," Matou Zouken said with a hoarse chuckle, his back hunched and leaning on his cane. "Please rest assured, Patriarch Tohsaka, I will take good care of Sakura."

Take care?

No.

Matou Zouken had no intention of taking care of Matou Sakura. He merely intended to use her as a tool, a tool to achieve his own goals.

"That is excellent," Tohsaka Tokiomi nodded with relief. He looked at the downcast Matou Sakura and said in a tone of admonishment, "Sakura, you will now be a child of the Matou family. You must obey Patriarch Matou. Do you understand?"

Matou Sakura's petite, delicate body trembled slightly. After a long moment, she softly replied, "...Yes, I understand."

In the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Tokiomi had the final say. His decisions were absolute, and even Tohsaka Rin and Matou Sakura's mother, Tohma Aoi, could not change them.

Therefore, the young Matou Sakura had no choice. With her submissive nature, she could only accept the decision of being adopted into the Matou family by Tohsaka Tokiomi with muffled sobs and sorrow.

If nothing unexpected happened, after Matou Zouken took Matou Sakura away, she would be thrown into his underground workshop for cultivating Magic Crest Worms and undergo cruel magical modifications.

But an unexpected event had occurred. Matou Sakura's tragic fate was about to change!

Fu Yuan, arriving with the wind, entered the sight of Tohsaka Tokiomi and the other two. Upon seeing Fu Yuan's figure, Matou Sakura's previously dim eyes suddenly lit up.

From this reaction, it was clear that Matou Sakura had a high degree of affection for Fu Yuan, the older brother from next door.

After all, Matou Sakura had often gone to play with Fu Yuan with Tohsaka Rin before, so their relationship was naturally good.

"Yo, Sakura, I'm here," Fu Yuan greeted Matou Sakura with a cheerful smile.

"Brother Fu Yuan, what are you doing here?" Matou Sakura asked softly.

Fu Yuan, who had walked over to Matou Sakura, crouched down to her level and said with a smile, "Because Rin was with me just now, I knew your situation. I wanted to come say goodbye. Happy?"

"Mm! Happy." Matou Sakura's small face broke into a joyful expression.

Matou Zouken, watching Fu Yuan chat happily with Matou Sakura, turned to Tohsaka Tokiomi and asked, "Who is this young man?"

"Just an ordinary person. He lives a couple of streets away and is quite friendly with my daughter," Tohsaka Tokiomi replied casually, glancing at Fu Yuan.

Hmm... Fu Yuan is just an ordinary person who can use inch-force to split the sky. Nothing special.

After hearing Tohsaka Tokiomi's words, Matou Zouken no longer paid any attention to Fu Yuan, this 'ordinary person'. An ordinary person who wasn't a magus wasn't worth his notice.
