Shirou's Grand Heroic Saga Chapter 9

With Shirou's two red cards and EX attack finished, the Rider on the ground was chopped into several pieces, making one feel sympathetic.

It's enough to make the listener cry and the hearer weep.

Shirou also feigned covering his face, unable to bear watching: "I hope you're born into a good family in your next life, be a good person, and don't participate in the Holy Grail War."

"Eh...?"

Assassin's card popped out. Transforming into King Hassan indeed consumed too much mana. A single instance was truly the King of Assassins, allowing him to kill Rider in two blows.

Shirou curiously looked at the corpse on the ground, no, the half-dead person. They had purple seaweed-like hair, just like Shinji. He was so startled he thought Shinji had come back from the dead.

Who in the world is this person?

Author's Notes:

King Hassan has appeared. Although it's probably the only chance he'll get early on, he's appeared nonetheless! He's so much better than other Heroic Spirits!

Chapter 5: Shocking! Grandpa Zouken Becomes a Good Person? (Bonus Chapter for 100 Collections)

Purple seaweed hair is Shinji's most obvious characteristic. Shirou had just fought him and killed him, leaving him by the side, so how did another one appear?

Regardless, it must be someone from the Matou family. It's just that the Matou family is truly tragic. Just as he had killed one, another was now killed in seconds by someone using King Hassan's card.

Even though Assassins counter Riders, they shouldn't die this miserably, right?

Who told him to summon King Hassan? Unlike Shinji, who only summoned Cursed Arm, looking as ugly as Cthulhu. Perhaps the Hassans thought he was handsome and sent an ugly one. As for Illya summoning Hundred-Faced Hassan and still being so cute, it can only be attributed to... she's too cute, even becoming a Hassan can't hide it.

However, this person's hair seems a bit longer. What's going on there?

Seaweed hair... seaweed hair?

A terrifying guess emerged. Could this guy be Shinji's father, who came for revenge after discovering Shinji was dead?

"Shirou? Heh..." The seaweed-haired person on the ground let out a somewhat aged voice, trying to support their body and get up, but it was no use. Their hand was cut, and their body was almost in several pieces, even making the instigator feel a little embarrassed to watch.

"You know me?" Shirou pointed to himself.

"I don't know you. But I know Kiritsugu Emiya, the Magus Killer, right? I've heard of him." The seaweed-haired person was gasping for air, their chest rising and falling, making Shirou feel like this person was about to die any second.

"An Ally of Justice?" The seaweed-haired person finally managed to turn over. Snowflakes slowly fell on them, making their already not-so-warm body even colder.

As soon as this phrase was uttered, Shirou finally understood who he was.

Grandpa Zouken, it's you!

To have become so young, did he learn time magic from the Cult Leader? A magic crest for time magic... Is that it? Terrible, to think such a great magic was used for this purpose by this guy, it's too much! This magic should rightfully be inherited by him. You old scoundrel, hand over your magic crest!

Shirou declares today he will avenge Sakura and kill you!

"Senpai, who appeared? Where is the enemy now?" Sakura said nervously, holding two Black Keys, then she saw the seaweed-haired person on the ground.

This...

Shirou instantly felt awkward. He couldn't exactly tell Sakura: "Sorry, I killed your grandfather?"

It would have been better to eliminate him secretly. Procrastination really leads to major problems.

The problem is that her brother Shinji had only just died not long ago, and his remains... well, they had indeed grown cold in this winter.
