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

This was merely a temporary body formed by Matou Zouken's Magic Crest Worms, which manipulated magical properties.

Therefore, Fu Yuan's perception was not wrong.

The true Matou Zouken had now become a Magic Crest Worm.

Having clung to life for over five hundred years, Matou Zouken had merged his spirit and soul with his Familiar, the Magic Crest Worms, completely transforming into one.

Next, Matou Zouken would cruelly parasitize others to extend his own lifespan.

The reason Matou Zouken was so eager to obtain Matou Sakura, who possessed excellent magic circuits, was precisely because he intended to parasitize her.

This old worm no longer belongs to humanity. What sustains his desperate clinging to life must be his utterly grotesque obsession. Fu Yuan thought silently, watching Matou Zouken.

In the past, Matou Zouken was a formidable magus. Two hundred years ago, he harbored a grand ambition: to become a "Hero of Justice."

The Hero of Justice, Matou Zouken, aimed to eradicate all evil and human depravity in the world.

It was with this "great idea" that Matou Zouken, along with the Einzbern and Tohma families, established the Holy Grail War system two hundred years ago.

However, that noble ideal had long since vanished from Matou Zouken's spirit.

Through his cruel and disgusting methods of prolonging his life, Matou Zouken's original soul and spirit had rotted away like dead wood, leaving behind only a hideous obsession.

Now, two hundred years later, Matou Zouken's soul is decayed, and only one obsession remains.

That is, "I don't want to die," and "I will live forever, no matter what." Thus, Matou Zouken had transformed into an extremely wicked individual whose sole aim was immortality.

Matou Zouken was once a figure worthy of admiration two hundred years ago. But now, he had devolved into a detestable and hateful being. Fu Yuan would mercifully send him on his way.

Allowing Matou Zouken to be freed from his five-hundred-year obsession.

Simply put... the old worm must die!

Both the Tohma and Matou families reside in the tranquil Fuyuki City, on the right bank of the Miyou River. Therefore, after about half an hour of walking, Matou Zouken, along with Fu Yuan and Matou Sakura, arrived at the gates of the Matou residence.

Chapter 6: Hey! That's Hell Ahead!

The Matou residence was an old Western-style house with a garden.

This old house appeared somewhat ancient, like a dying elder, exuding a somber and decaying atmosphere.

Even though the garden was planted with trees and flowers, radiating a vibrant green life, and the bright sun shone down, it couldn't conceal the house's age and decay.

This building was just like Matou Zouken.

Stopping at the garden entrance, Matou Zouken turned around and extended his withered hand towards Matou Sakura, "This is my home. Come here, Little Sakura."

Matou Sakura, who had been holding Fu Yuan's hand, pursed her delicate lips. Reluctantly, she let go of Fu Yuan's warm hand, as the kind elder brother had brought her to her new home, and it was time for her to release his hand.

However, Fu Yuan clasped Matou Sakura's hand that she had just released.

"Brother Fu Yuan?" Matou Sakura looked at Fu Yuan in confusion at his sudden action.

Fu Yuan didn't reply to Matou Sakura. He simply smiled gently at the adorable little girl who was about to step into hell (the Matou residence). Then, Fu Yuan said to Matou Zouken, "Little Sakura has been adopted into the Matou family. I assume you've prepared a room and other things for her?"

"That's right. I've already prepared Little Sakura's room, and her luggage arrived at the Matou residence a few days ago," Matou Zouken said hoarsely.

Fu Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "As her brother, I'm very interested in the room you've prepared for Little Sakura. If you don't mind, I'd like to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Matou Zouken frowned deeply. He had no intention of letting Fu Yuan see Matou Sakura's room, as he was already impatient.

Matou Zouken was eager to throw Matou Sakura into his underground workshop, where the Magic Crest Worms being nurtured would perform "Magecraft Modification" on her.

Therefore, Matou Zouken flatly refused Fu Yuan.

"I do mind. Outsiders are not allowed to enter my Matou residence."

"Are outsiders not allowed in, or is there something inside that you don't want anyone to discover?" Fu Yuan said meaningfully to Matou Zouken.

Matou Zouken immediately stared at Fu Yuan, a hint of surprise flickering in his dark, sunken eyes. He felt like Fu Yuan's words had a hidden meaning.

"It's just a look at Little Sakura's room. What's the harm? Right, old man who plays with bugs?" Fu Yuan said with a smile.

"You..." Matou Zouken's gaze towards Fu Yuan shifted slightly, as Fu Yuan had just uttered the words "plays with bugs."

Plays with bugs?

Did he mean the Matou family's magecraft?

But... if he were an ordinary person, how could he possibly know that the Matou family's magecraft involved playing with bugs?

"So, you really aren't going to let me come in? If you still refuse, I'll go back and get the head of the Tohma family to come and see the room you prepared for Little Sakura."

Matou Sakura blinked, looking at the calm-faced Fu Yuan. This wasn't the Fu Yuan she remembered...

The Fu Yuan big brother in Matou Sakura's memory was gentle, reasonable, made her and her sister laugh heartily, and never caused trouble for anyone.

So why was Fu Yuan acting so unreasonably now? Why did he insist on going in to see the room she would be living in?

After a moment's thought, a smile appeared on Matou Sakura's small face.

Because... this little girl categorized Fu Yuan's strange behavior as concern for her.

In reality, things were not as Matou Sakura imagined.

Not only did Fu Yuan have no intention of seeing Matou Sakura's room, but he was even planning to destroy the Matou residence.

However, this situation was quite good for Fu Yuan, as Matou Sakura's incorrect guess caused her affection for him to increase by a lot~

Matou Zouken gloomily watched Fu Yuan, who was 'being unreasonable'. Although he didn't believe Fu Yuan had the ability to bring Tohsaka Tokiomi over, he didn't want any complications as he was about to obtain Matou Sakura. So, with a dark expression, he nodded.

"Alright, you can come in with Little Sakura, but I must warn you..."

Matou Zouken said slowly with a grim tone, "Curiosity killed the cat."

Fu Yuan, who understood the saying, laughed without fear, "But I'm not a cat."

"Hehehe, even the legendary nine-lived cat died from curiosity. You, this peculiar fellow, will likely be no exception." After leaving this malicious remark, Matou Zouken pushed open the gate of the Matou family's courtyard and stepped into the Matou residence first.

It seemed that after Fu Yuan uttered the words 'playing with bugs', Matou Zouken felt that Fu Yuan, this 'ordinary person', was a bit off.

But Matou Zouken was confident. What was he afraid of? He feared nothing! As long as they were in his Matou family's territory, no one could resist him.

Because within the Matou family, the Magic Crest Worms that Matou Zouken had cultivated all along were hidden. Tens of thousands of Magic Crest Worms would swarm out, overwhelming any magus and devouring them completely.
