Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Ryudongsa Temple

After returning, Shinji studied the black mud with a microscope and a bunch of instruments. Although he couldn't be sure, it must be related to the black mud that contaminated the Holy Grail.

"call!"

Shinji let out a long sigh and rubbed his sore eyes. It was nearly four in the morning when he left the Matou residence. Those heroic spirits didn't matter, but he and Sakura were still humans, so he sent Sakura to bed as soon as he came back.

As for him? Shinji said that if he didn't figure out the current situation, he wouldn't be able to sleep at all.

Sitting in the chair, with his chin supported by one hand, judging from the current situation, the situation was not friendly to him.

There are three main lines in the five wars, one is the Sakura line, one is the Rin line and one is the Saber line. No matter which line Sakura ends up in, but relatively speaking, the Rin line has the best ending.

Therefore, based on what happened to Sakura over the years, I prefer the Rin line, which is also the simplest line. However, the battle between Lancer and Assassin on the Fuyuki Bridge, and the cheating Zouken, are obviously all plots in the Sakura line...

The timeline is confusing, but no matter what, due to his intervention, Sakura's ending will definitely be changed. In addition, since he stole Soichiro Kuzuki's C mother, the plot will definitely deviate. This makes him realize that the advantage of the plot has been weakened.

"It seems we still have to be careful."

He turned his head and glanced at the alarm clock. It was already half past ten in the morning. His sage body allowed him to maintain high-intensity combat for a long time, but it didn't allow him to stay awake for a long time without feeling tired. However, he planned to go see Sakura again before he rested...

Because this is a temple, people sleep on the tatami in the side room, so naturally there are no door locks.

So Shinji opened the door and saw Sakura wearing a sky blue nightgown, with the blanket piled on the side. She was sitting against the wall with her legs hugged and her face buried. When she heard the door open, she looked towards the door in surprise...

"Nissan..."

Looking at Sakura's pitiful appearance, Shinji felt mixed emotions, just like a bird that tried hard to escape from a cage, but after the joy, only confusion remained.

"Why aren't you sleeping? You're sitting here looking like a grouch!"

As he said that, he came up to Sakura and scratched her nose.

Sakura on the other side also blushed at the sudden intimacy and turned her head away, not daring to look at Shinji.

Shinji was not surprised by this. After all, in order to fade out of Zōken's sight, he had always maintained the same bad character as in the original work and let everything unfold as Zōken expected. But now that the old bug is dead, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Don't we have to go to school today?"

Feeling her brother's eager gaze, Sakura shyly tried to change the subject.

"Why go to school! I asked Teacher Fujimura to ask for leave for us, saying that our house was destroyed in a gas explosion. She was so scared that she quickly said that it was okay to take a few days off and we could go to school later. She also said that if it didn't work out, we could stay at her house first..."

“…Teacher Fujimura is also a very good person!

Seeing that Sakura still didn't dare to look him in the eye, Shinji decided to leave.

"Since you have nothing else to do, I'll leave first. I haven't slept for almost two days. If you have anything to say, please go to Rider."

"Don't, don't go!"

When Sakura heard that her brother was leaving, she quickly grabbed Shinji's clothes, trying to keep him...

"Nisan, did you say that grandpa...is he really dead?"

"Who knows? But even if he's not dead, what can he do?"

"Even if he turns into a bug and escapes, if I can kill him once, I can certainly kill him a second time! And the Holy Grail War won't last long. Once I get the Holy Grail and solve the problem with you, what can that old thing do to me?"

Sakura was also stunned when she heard that her brother was going to seize the Holy Grail for her, and she could no longer listen to anything else. It was like the person you have always had a crush on suddenly standing in front of you one day and saying to you: "I have to work hard to make money, otherwise I won't be able to support you in the future."

Shinji looked at Sakura who was inexplicably fantasizing and her face was getting redder and redder. He smacked his lips and left. It seemed that this girl was quite stimulated...

He went out and returned to his room. As soon as he entered, he saw a purple-haired beauty sitting beside his bed, looking at him with resentment on her face.

"I put so much effort into this, but you didn't even look at me, you ungrateful man!"

...Please pay attention to your identity. You are a witch, miss. Do you have to be so cute?

But it is true that after taking off the black cloak that covers her whole body, Medea is definitely worthy of the word beauty, but who would have thought that she was a vicious witch who killed countless people, or a poor girl who was forced into a desperate situation by countless people?

"Have you seen Sakura's situation?" Shinji imitated Sakura and started to change the subject.

Medea also became serious when talking about business, and snorted with disdain, saying: "I have seen a kind of insect poison magic, which will parasitize the enemy with insects, and take the nutrients from the enemy to expand the insect swarm.

This kind of magic that uses one's own body to feed insects and overdraws magic power and vitality is really low-level!"

"…I have investigated the history of the Matou family. As one of the three great families, the Matou family was once famous for its butterfly magic. However, in order to achieve immortality, Matou Zouken abandoned his human body and used a modified insect magic to form a body to survive in the world."

"Oh, it turns out that the greedy nature of human beings will never change no matter what era it is."

Then he gave Shinji a strange look, "This guy seems a little different."

"So you can't solve Sakura's situation?"

"It's just a temporary solution. I can remove the worms from her body, but it will cause great damage to her body. At least her magic circuits are almost destroyed... Isn't this bad for you magicians?"

"…I'm not an orthodox magician. I'll discuss this with Sakura later, but I must get the Holy Grail."

"Isn't that nonsense? Now that we have a monster like you, we have four servants at the same level. Isn't it easy to take the Holy Grail?"

"not that simple."

It can even be said that except for Lancer Cu Chulainn and the Assassin who escaped, every remaining Heroic Spirit could possibly defeat all four of them alone...

at the same time

Rin of the Toosaka family failed to summon Saber because she misread the time, but what the Holy Widow didn't know was that no matter what time it was, the Heroic Spirit she summoned would only be Red A.

Later, after hearing about the explosion at the Matou family's house, he immediately sent his familiar to check out the situation, but until now there has been no results. He went to school as usual in the morning, but when he saw that Sakura was not there, he felt a little worried.

After hearing Gogo's report, Kotomine Kirei in the church was also curious about Assassin, but he didn't care much about it. After all, he was also a cheater in this Holy Grail War.

In the Einzbern Castle, Illya looked at the burly man trapped by chains in front of her, and felt a pang of heartache for no reason. Uncle B, who seemed to have sensed something, growled and then fell silent.

The old bug is dead, but the Holy Grail War will continue. Now, except for Saber, the other six heroic spirits have already come into the world. What follows is a battle between the heroic spirits!
