Gilgamesh: "What a disgusting scene."
Princess Consort: "Who is that old bastard? How could he treat a child like that!"
Radiant Visage: "Such evil. If I encountered him, I would eliminate him on the spot."
Ahoge King: "Likewise. On my honor as a knight, I would take that old man's head with one stroke."
King of Conquerors: "Oh dear, I have no idea where to start with this question. I don't recognize a single option."
Director Kayneth: "Rebellious Spirit, do you know the people in the video?"
But Kariya Matou had no time to pay attention to him now.
The five minutes soon passed.
[The answering period has ended. The answer will now be revealed.] [A man appeared on the screen. It was Kariya Matou, who had appeared on the previous screen.] [But now, Kariya Matou's hair was graying, and bulging veins covered half his face, making him look terrifying.] [A corpse lay at Kariya Matou's feet. It was Tokiomi Tohsaka.] [The system even helpfully labeled the corpse "Tokiomi Tohsaka."] [Kariya Matou was roaring at someone.] ["It was all this man! Everything was this man's fault!"] [The correct answer is D, Tokiomi Tohsaka.] [Congratulations to Princess Consort, Extra Xi, and Gilgamesh on receiving 5 Saint Quartz.] [Director Kayneth, Performance Artist, Ahoge King, King of Conquerors, Radiant Visage, Knight of the Lake, and Gymnastics Troupe answered incorrectly. 1 Saint Quartz deducted.] [Since your Saint Quartz balance is 0, the deduction will be recorded as a debt for now.] [Magus Killer, Nasuverse King of Blame, Priest Mapo, Rebellious Spirit, Funny-Face Rin, and Tragic Sakura, and Bluebeard abstained from answering this question.]
Funny-Face Rin: "Dad, how could this happen!"
Loli Rin was once again shocked by the video's contents, her eyes vacant and her face blank.
Her father had actually died, killed by that kind, friendly Uncle Kariya.
Two blows in succession had nearly shattered the little girl's worldview.
Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kariya Matou, the people involved, were stunned too.
"I actually died at the hands of Kariya Matou, a man who isn't even a magus!"
"I actually killed Tokiomi Tohsaka!"
The two froze for a moment, then immediately continued on their way.
They could not think about all that for now. Their first thought was to save Sakura.
King of Conquerors: "Princess Consort, Extra Xi, Gilgamesh, how did you know the answer?"
Princess Consort: "I guessed blindly. After all, I didn't recognize a single person among those options."
Extra Xi: "Same here."
Gilgamesh: "Ha! For this king, such a thing is inevitable."
In truth, Gilgamesh had guessed too, relying on his A-rank luck.
He had originally intended to use Sha Naqba Imuru to see the answer, only to discover that he could not see through this system at all.
Anything related to this question had also been blocked, and he could no longer see anything concerning the Fourth War.
[This Q&A session has ended. Since this is everyone's first time answering questions, there will only be one question today as a warm-up.] [Starting tomorrow, the Q&A will begin at this same time every day, with a fixed total of three questions each day. All group members, please be prepared.] [Since Princess Consort, Extra Xi, and Gilgamesh had the same win rate today, all three will receive identical golden treasure chests. Please accept them.]
A golden treasure chest suddenly appeared in the hands of Feng Xi, Waver, and Gilgamesh on the Throne of Heroes.
Though called treasure chests, they were only palm-sized.
And Feng Xi naturally received two.
"Should I open them here?"
Feng Xi thought it over and decided against it. He would wait until he got back.
"Hmm? That's..."
Just then, a car slowly drove past.
Feng Xi noticed a little purple-haired girl sitting in the back seat, staring out the window in terror.
Isn't that Sakura?
She's being adopted into the Matou Family.
But wasn't that supposed to have happened a year ago?
Though puzzled, he immediately chased after it.
He had already investigated where the Matou Family lived.
In fact, a year ago, he had considered whether to save Sakura from her tragedy, but at the time, he could not find any reason to leave the mountain, and as a minor, he could not go abroad either.
Besides, there was no specific date for Sakura's adoption into the Matou Family. He could hardly stay in Fuyuki City for an entire year.
But now that he had run into her, he certainly could not stand by and do nothing.
Feng Xi raced along shortcuts like the wind and actually reached the Matou residence before their car.
This was China's Divine Travel Technique, which let a person's legs move as though fitted with motors, allowing them to travel a thousand li a day.
Its representative figure was Dai Zong, the Marvelous Traveler from Water Margin.
Seeing that there was still some time before the car arrived, Feng Xi decided to open the two treasure chests and see whether he could get any useful trump cards.
Chapter 4: Feng Xi Takes Action, Chinese Magecraft
(Old Worm)
"Ding! Congratulations to the host on obtaining the Nameless Class Card!"
After Feng Xi opened one treasure chest, it turned into white light and vanished, leaving only a blank card.
Feng Xi had not expected to draw a Class Card.
This was something unique to the world of Fate/kaleid liner, using one's own flesh as a medium to install a Heroic Spirit from the Throne of Heroes into oneself and gain their power.
The Class Card Feng Xi obtained was entirely white, blank in both class and character.
In other words, Feng Xi could use this card to obtain the power of any Heroic Spirit, as long as they agreed.
But this card could not help him now. Where was he supposed to find a Heroic Spirit at a time like this?
He was not yet familiar with any of the Heroic Spirits in the group, so probably none of them would help him.
He could only pin his hopes on the second treasure chest.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host on obtaining the Noble Phantasm-Endless Money Bag!"
Feng Xi's entire face darkened.
What the hell is this?
He could pull any currency out of the bag, whether gold or banknotes from any country.
Well, damn. A modified version of Tawara Touta's Endless Rice Bag.
But what use is this thing to me?
Fine, at least I won't have to worry about making money anymore.
With this thing, do I now count as richer than Gilgamesh?
Pah, what nonsense am I thinking?
How am I supposed to use this against Old Worm? Pelt him to death with money?
So I still have to rely on myself in the end?
"Screech..."
Just then, the Matou Family's car returned as well.
The driver got out and opened the door, and a thin, shriveled old man stepped out first.
It was none other than Old Worm, Zouken Matou.
Then Loli Sakura stepped out, trembling, her face full of terror.
That was right. She was Tragic Sakura from the group, and through the Q&A, she had already seen the future that was about to befall her.
She was terrified now and could only hope that Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kariya Matou would come to save her, but she was already at the front gate, and they still had not arrived.
No, I can't go in. Once I go in, I'm afraid...
"Waaah..."
