Chapter 711 The First Day

In the wee hours of the morning, in the dead of night, everything is silent.

After all, it is the end of January. Although the climate in Fuyuki Town is relatively warm in winter, it is still very cold in the morning or late at night...but it is not just this winter night that is cold, And Tohsaka Rin's cold heart.

Leaving the cold basement...

Up the cold stairs...

Back to the cold living room...

During the whole process, she was like a puppet who had lost her soul, her face was darkened, her eyes were lifeless, and her body was wobbly, as if she might lose her balance at any time and fall directly to the ground... ...It makes people feel particularly worried when they look at it.

But this is also a helpless thing.

First of all, I basically didn't sleep last night. I was busy until dawn in order to interpret my father's last words, and I also consumed too much magic power. I was exhausted mentally and physically, and I almost couldn't get up to go to school... This is already Bad enough.

After finally getting through the daytime, after returning home, she didn't have an early rest, but immediately received a notice from the seemingly taciturn but very poisonous nun in the Holy Church.

The other party told her indifferently——

"The deadline is until tomorrow", "If you want to give up the right to become a master, you must make a choice within today", "If you are afraid, run away quickly, this way you may be able to save your life"...

Having said such a bunch of sarcastic remarks, frankly speaking, Tohsaka Rin doesn't like her very much, just like her father who subconsciously rejected her at the beginning.

Although it was very hasty, the girl had no other choice. Of course, she couldn't give up this opportunity.

"Rin, the Holy Grail will appear one day. Obtaining it is the Tohsaka family's obligation, and more importantly---if you want to be a magician, there is no way to escape."

Because on that day, that person touched her head and said the last words, and then left forever.Participated in the Holy Grail War as a master, but did not return in the end.

At the very end, he left this sentence not as a father, but as a magician.So at that moment, Tohsaka Rin's life path had already been decided.

Ten years have passed since the winter when my father participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War.What she has never forgotten in ten years, the fifth Holy Grail War is about to start again, how could she allow herself to retreat before the battle?

So she decided to use her perfect state to summon the servant tonight!
Then--

It was in anxiety, torment, and sleepiness, and it was difficult to wait until two o'clock in the morning in the middle of the night. Rin Tohsaka carved a magic circle on the floor of the basement. This is the time period with the best wavelength for her.

Originally, the summoning circle should be drawn with blood, but in the end she used molten gems extravagantly.Because she didn't prepare any catalyst, let alone her father's unexpected death, even her father's favorite disciple, Father Yanfeng, did not survive, and the information left behind was extremely incomplete.

Coupled with some indescribable factors, she had nothing to prepare. Although she kept comforting herself, she still had no idea. She could only work harder in other areas, hoping to make up for the lack of holy relics. is not enough.

Even if it's just psychological comfort...

however.

Although all kinds of light and shadow special effects came out, the magic light overflowed from the summoning array, and the fragments of the fifth element were flying around, but when her vision returned to normal, there was no summoned servant in front of her. The room was empty, and there was no one else except herself.

Standing in front of the summoning formation with an empty mind for another minute, Tohsaka Rin finally despaired.

"Two o'clock in the morning..."

Standing in the living room, the girl stared blankly at the time displayed by the clock on the wall, and suddenly remembered something.

Yesterday, after interpreting her father's last words, she finally found a family heirloom gemstone pendant, which has a history of at least a hundred years, and is suspected to be a treasure left by the master gemstone.It's a pity that it is not a holy relic and cannot be used as a catalyst for summoning followers.

And the worst thing is, probably because the magic power of this gem is too strong, the moment she brought it out without knowing it, the clocks in the whole house, whether it is the alarm clock or the wall clock, were all disturbed Yes, it has been speeded up by an hour...

In the morning, I thought I was going to be late, but in fact I got to school earlier than usual, because of this reason!
In other words, it was actually one o'clock in the morning, and she simply got the time wrong. There was still an hour before she could reach her peak state!
But after a whole day, she completely forgot about such a thing!So, is this the main reason for the error?

The cold facts are so cruel that Rin Tohsaka wants to cry. He has taken this matter very seriously and used up half of the gems he had accumulated in the past. Financial failure is not allowed!But why, there is still such a low-level error!

Why is this always the case?Obviously, I can do most of the things like ordinary people, and even if I try my best, I can become a perfect top student who can't find any shortcomings in the eyes of countless people.

But there is only one curse that seems to be inherited.

And that's when it's the big showdown, she's always going off the hook, and she's always doing some unbelievably stupid things, like this one.

Just like that, the girl stared at the clock on the wall full of pain and resentment, as if this could force it to give in under pressure, and time went back to the past, giving her a chance to do it all over again.But the result was a matter of course, Wall Clock completely ignored her murderous eyes.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and in the end Tohsaka Rin could only turn his eyes back and face reality.

There's no other way, let's just leave it at that, and see if I can have a chance to remedy something tomorrow... It's not a problem to continue to stare like this, it can't solve the problem, and her magic power is almost bottomed out, and her mental state Also pretty bad...

The distraught girl tried her best to think calmly, turned around with drooping shoulders, and walked up the stairs.

One step, two steps, and then the footsteps stopped.

Standing in front of the stairs, Tohsaka Rin even thought seriously for two seconds, then turned around and looked at the center of the living room. Is there a figure sitting on the sofa there?

Because it was late at night, and the lights in the living room were not turned on, only the faint moonlight outside the window shone in, but it didn't directly shine into the center of the living room. In addition, her mental state was extremely bad, and her attention just now was completely focused on In order to confirm the time, and feel sorry for yourself.

So naturally, he didn't have the heart to observe the surrounding environment, and carefully looked at this mansion that he had known so long that he could no longer be familiar with it.

Squinting her eyes for a while, Tohsaka Rin was surprised to find that it was not her own illusion, and a trace of panic surged instinctively in the bottom of her heart. After all, even a magician can't change the fact that she is still an underage girl first. thing, and still living alone at home.

It's just that the panic only lasted for a short moment, and she immediately noticed the connection between her own magic circuit and the other party.

This is... a follower?
A servant summoned by himself?Could it be that although I made a mistake just now, I didn't completely fail?

Happiness came so suddenly, Tohsaka Rin's mind went blank for an instant, and he felt that he was almost suffocated and couldn't breathe.The ups and downs in life are nothing more than this, she covered her heart with her hands, panting heavily.

"You, who are you?"

"Well, are you asking me?" The magician, who was leisurely crossing his legs on the sofa, spoke lazily. This girl hadn't noticed her until now, and her nerves were too rough.

"Yes, yes..."

The first time Rin Tohsaka heard this strange voice in the darkness, he flinched subconsciously and replied somewhat stammeringly.But then, she immediately felt that she couldn't lose her momentum from the beginning, so she quickly made amends with a sullen face——

"I mean, is there anyone else here?"

"Oh, who knows..." The stranger in the shadow chuckled, "But I'm just a magician passing by, so don't worry about it."

"magician?"

Is that the class of Caster?Damn it, it really wasn't Saber, it must be because the impact of the mistake was too fatal.

Rin Tohsaka frowned slightly, and then he was keenly aware of more important issues, so he asked uncomfortably: "Wait, what do you mean by passing by? Didn't you come here specifically to respond to my call? Let me confirm first Now, you are my follower, isn't that right?"

"No." Xia Ran replied concisely.

"..."

"..."

"Cheat, lie! Don't be joking!" The girl was stunned for a moment when she got the unexpected answer, and then she became angry and anxious again. She stared fiercely at the strange figure in the darkness, "Is it still you?" Don't you intend to admit this? The contract has clearly been reached!"

She also heard a lot of things about the master and the servant from her father, so she knows that it does not mean that such a combination will necessarily be a partner of mutual trust.The character concept of the servant, or the character concept of the master, is the key to determining whether you can get along well.

If the luck is particularly bad, the first thing the master has to deal with is not the threat from other combinations in the Holy Grail War, but the threat from the servants summoned by him.

What surprised and angered Tohsaka Rin was that she seemed to be in the worst situation now, and the other party didn't even intend to admit her identity as the master? !

"Contract? Oh, you may have made a mistake..." Xia Ran smiled slightly, he was just going to directly inform this girl that the Holy Grail War will not be held, "Don't hold too much hope for such a whimsical thing It is better to look forward to it, no one is qualified to take the initiative to become my Master..."

This is a matter of course, if one day, he acts in the form of a servant, then it is definitely because of the reason of appearing alone.

It's not that the master summoned him, but he found something interesting to himself, so he took the initiative to respond to the present world.

"Who, who asked you whether you are qualified or not! And isn't this Command Seal a qualification?"

This person really thinks he is not qualified!hateful!

Rin Tohsaka clenched his fist tightly, revealing the magic tattoo emerging from the back of his hand, and stared at him vigorously while speaking: "And I just ask you, are you my follower! Or are you really not going to admit the truth?!"

She was not Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was able to respect servants as masters and herself as a servant.No matter what the servant is, no matter what her status is, she won't be cowardly!If the opponent's attitude is tough, then your own attitude will be even tougher, and you must regain the dominance!

"fact?"

"Contract! Do you dare to say that the connection between me and you is fake?" Rin Tosaka shouted excitedly, and stepped forward: "Come and answer my question! How do you dare to say it?"

"Contract connection..."

Xia Ran glanced at his hand, the ball of information was still being gently held by him, and he couldn't escape no matter what.

He didn't process the Heroic Spirit information, and as a result, Hassan failed to manifest and was stuck at the last step of being summoned.But for the Great Holy Grail, it is only responsible for checking whether the amount of information borrowed from the Throne of Heroes meets the requirements.

The servant who was stuck with the bug did not actually appear, but he was not eliminated. At least in the ritual mechanism of the Holy Grail War, the existence of Hassan still occupies a position... So the result is that Tohsaka Rin can reach it according to the contract After contacting, I found that the magic line pointed to the person in front of me.

"Huh, forget it, this is not important, let's talk about other issues first..."

The magician rubbed the space between his brows slightly, and decisively changed the subject.

He wanted to explain it kindly and tell her the cruel truth, but he felt that it was too much to bully Tohsaka Rin like this——

According to the other party's call, he locked the world and jumped over, intercepted the other party's call signal, captured the other party's servant, and now he is still actively explaining this matter?No matter how you look at it, it is an act of jumping face. If it is not good, Tohsaka Rin will be so angry that he will die on the spot.

After all, according to his observations, no matter whether the opponent is blue or red, it seems that they are already in that dangerous state of redness.

It's like a person who has stayed up all night for several days may die suddenly at any time.

"Talk about other questions first? Allow me to refuse, don't try to change the subject!" Tohsaka Rin's face became darker and darker with dissatisfaction, and she stared hard at this impolite guy, "The master-slave relationship is the most important thing in a relationship. Something to figure out from the start!"

I hit the nail on the head, and after making the final decision, this guy with a bad personality couldn't answer, so he immediately tried to change the subject?How can it be possible for you to succeed, you must take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and use this opportunity to force him to admit this basic fact!
"..."

"..."

The magician was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something seriously. After a while, he sighed and stood up, turned around and walked towards the entrance.

"Hey! Wait, where do you want to go?!" The girl who was expecting his answer was taken aback for a moment, and only realized after the other person walked past her, she shouted angrily and anxiously.

"It's really a pity to visit late at night. I'm really sorry. I'll go back first. After you calm down, I will visit again..."

Xia Ran turned her head to look at her, then showed a hearty smile, then waved to the girl, and was about to say goodbye and leave very understandingly.

Probably because the state is too bad, Tohsaka Rin seems to have a hard time calming down now, unable to think rationally, if it continues, she may have to use the command spell for herself.So I slipped away first, and continuing like this would only add fuel to the fire, let's wait until her brain cools down.

"You, you you you you you guy..."

Rin Tohsaka's voice was trembling with anger. She felt that she had reached her limit just now, but she still tried her best to restrain herself. As long as the other party can give in a little bit and admit that she is the master, then she will not continue to be tough.

After all, if the servants refuse to cooperate, what is the Holy Grail War going to be about?
But although she has been working hard to suppress it, seeing the other party's unscrupulous behavior, she didn't care about her own performance at all, and when she turned around and smiled at the end, the overly hearty smile seemed too hateful. Abominable.

In short, it was the silent ridicule and contempt that finally caused her anger to break through the threshold, and the string of reason in her brain was directly snapped!
"In, in the name of the Command Spell—"

"Huh?" The magician turned around, "Hey, wait, don't be so impulsive..."

I was obviously worried about this kind of thing happening, but I specifically released the maximum kindness, and didn't care about her at all?Could it be that she couldn't comprehend the true meaning in her sunny and hearty smile, couldn't she feel her kindness at all?

"It's too late to regret it now! You bastard!" The girl glared at him, and said loudly, the command spell on the raised wrist was faintly glowing, "Listen to me, as my follower, then you must Absolutely obey what I say!"

Pain came from the back of the hand, and a command spell disappeared.

"..."

The magician watched this scene silently, with a strange expression on his face.

"Huh! I know me..." Tohsaka Rin breathed a sigh of relief, put down his hand angrily, stared at him and said with gritted teeth.

But before she could finish speaking, she stopped suddenly, her body shook a few times, her eyes circled, and she fell headfirst onto the living room carpet.

"It seems that I have reached the limit..." Xia Ran felt a little pity, no matter whether it was physical strength, magic power, or spirit, it had been exhausted, but she still forced herself so much.

……

……

at the same time.

The other side of the city.

"Ten years have passed, are you still in Liudong Temple?"

Climbing along the cold and lonely mountain road, the figure of Artoria, who was asked to come back first to inform Medea and Sakura, appeared, as light as an elf under the moonlight, and soon she saw standing on the mountain road above The gate of Liudong Temple at the end.

After thinking about it, she realized that Liudong Temple is still a good place for spiritual veins, and the Great Holy Grail has always been located below, so its geographical location is very important.It is only natural that Medea and the others did not leave here, there is no better choice than this place.

"Well, the first day has just started, and you can't wait to kill the door? It's really arrogant..."

At this time, a strange voice came from the mountain gate, and at the same time, a powerful magical reaction emerged.

The King of Knights was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the summoned servants mistook themselves for other groups in the Holy Grail War and came directly to the door?
