Magic world

ps: Old question, first post it and then revise it. This time there are fewer words and it can be completed around 12:10.

Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura walked silently on the road leading to Ito Cheng's villa.

"When did you become master?"

It wasn't until a few minutes passed that Tohsaka Rin couldn't help but ask quietly.

"About ten days ago." Tohsaka Sakura thought for a while and replied.

"Ten days ago!?" Tohsaka Rin suddenly stopped when he heard this and looked at Tohsaka Sakura in shock.

"Is there any problem?" Tohsaka Sakura asked doubtfully.

"Then do you know what it means to become a master?" Tohsaka Rin took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Command the Servants and fight with others." Sakura Tohsaka replied hesitantly as she recalled the knowledge Ito Shige told about the Holy Grail War and the two times she served as Master.

"So you know, I thought that guy didn't tell you anything." Tohsaka Rin sneered.

Tohsaka Sakura opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but finally closed her mouth and remained silent.

Tohsaka Rin looked at Tohsaka Sakura, suddenly took a step forward, stretched out his palm to touch Sakura's cheek, and said softly, "Sakura, listen to your sister and give up. The Holy Grail War is not for you."

"...I'm sorry, sister, I can't promise you." Tohsaka Sakura was silent for a moment, then shook her head firmly and refused.

"Because of that guy." Tohsaka Rin frowned.

Tohsaka Sakura did not speak and acquiesced.

"What's so good about that guy? You actually want to accompany him crazy even if you risk your life?" Tohsaka Rin said angrily.

Tohsaka Sakura still didn't speak, which made Tohsaka Rin look at her like a tiger trying to eat a hedgehog, unable to make a move or get angry.

"Forget it, I won't tell you this, I'll talk to that guy." Tohsaka Rin, who was feeling angry, snorted and strode forward.

Behind her, Tohsaka Sakura followed silently.

After walking in tandem for more than ten minutes, the two arrived at Ito Cheng's villa and entered the villa with the key in Sakura Tohsaka's hand.

"Sakura..." I heard the door ring. A happy smile immediately appeared on Hiyer's face in the room. He opened his mouth and shouted. But then he saw Tohsaka Rin who followed Tohsaka Sakura into the house. His expression immediately changed and he said softly, "Why are you here?"

"Where is Ito Cheng? I want to see him." Tohsaka Rin said unceremoniously.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Ito Cheng's voice rang in the room.

"It's been a long time, Rin. It's rare that you would think of coming over here to see me." Ito Cheng said with a smile as he led Medea down from the second floor.

Tohsaka Rin frowned slightly. He looked solemnly at Medea, who was following Ito Cheng downstairs. Because just now. The spiritual Archer told her through thoughts and words that he was also a Servant.

In addition to the hidden servants around Sakura, Ito Chengfang has two servants. Gained a huge advantage in the war!

However, with a heavy heart, Tohsaka Rin still did not forget the purpose of coming here, and asked sternly, "Why should Sakura participate in the Holy Grail War?"

"Then why can't Sakura participate in the Holy Grail War?" Ito Cheng, who had already arrived in the living room, asked with interest.

"Because of Sakura's personality, she is not suitable to participate in such a cruel battle." Tohsaka Rin answered without hesitation.

"Is this your answer?" Ito Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said quietly.

"Yes." Tohsaka Rin confirmed.

"Then let me ask you, how much do you know about Sakura." Ito Cheng asked quietly again.

Tohsaka Rin frowned and fell silent.

Yes, does she really understand Sakura? It seems that apart from knowing that Sakura is learning magic from Ito Cheng and living a happy life, he also seems to have no idea what kind of strength she has now, what she studies, what she does, and what kind of people she comes into contact with in her daily life. All of this information is half-understood, and she is still using her previous understanding to correspond to the current Sakura.

How can this be understood?

"It is true that Sakura's personality is not suitable for participating in the brutal Holy Grail War, but did I say that I would really let her participate?" After giving Rin Tosaka some time to think, Ito Cheng spoke again.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Tohsaka Rin set his sights on Ito Cheng again.

"Sakura has been living with me for ten years. She can be said to be the closest person to me in this world. I will not put her in danger." Ito Cheng turned to look at Tohsaka Sakura beside him, stretched out his hand and gently He rubbed her head and said warmly with a smile on his face.

Tohsaka Sakura's cheeks turned slightly red and she lowered her head shyly.

"In that case, why did you let Sakura participate in the Holy Grail War?" Tohsaka Rin asked.

"Because Sakura is a magician just like you and me. Although she has not officially entered this circle yet, there are some things that she should be exposed to. I don't want to wait for Sakura to be in danger due to negligence one day in the future. The cruel Holy Grail War is the best teaching ground. There are plots, traps, disguises, deceptions, and cruel killings everywhere, which is enough for Sakura to see the cruelty and cunning of the magician's world, and let her learn to be vigilant." Ito Cheng said quietly.

Regarding Ito Cheng's words, Tohsaka Rin was silent.

Although she was not influenced by Tokiomi to become a selfish magician who put her own interests above all else because Tokiomi died early and her mother was still alive, but in other aspects, from Ito Cheng and Kotomine Kiri From the information she occasionally revealed in the past, she also knew what kind of magicians they were. Sometimes she was even secretly glad that Sakura was studying with Ito Shige, a human magician, rather than some other inexplicable and mysterious thing. dangerous guy.

"What are you going to do?" Realizing the fact, Tohsaka Rin asked Ito Cheng about his plans for the Holy Grail War.

"Protect Sakura's safety with all your strength, and then defeat other Servants and Masters on this basis, and obtain the holy benefits of this Holy Grail War." Ito Cheng stated in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Tohsaka Rin frowned again.

"But don't worry, since we are acquaintances, I will keep you at the end and ensure your life is safe." Seeing Tohsaka Rin's frown, Ito couldn't help but chuckled.

"And if you are willing, I can form an alliance with you. I believe that with our power, we can completely crush the masters who are hiding in the dark."

"...A very tempting proposal." Tohsaka Rin sighed after being silent for a while.

"However, I refuse. Although this proposal is tempting, since I know that you have already gained an advantage, I don't want to continue to expand your advantage and make the war completely one-sided." Tohsaka Rin looked up. Looking at Ito Cheng and Tohsaka Sakura standing together, and Medea standing on the other side of Ito Cheng said softly.

Hearing Tohsaka Rin's answer, Tohsaka Sakura had a gloomy look on her face.

"Do you want the Holy Grail?" Ito Cheng asked with interest.

"Of course." Tohsaka Rin said proudly.

"Then I'll give it to you." Ito Cheng chuckled.

"What?" Tohsaka Rin said in surprise, feeling that he must be hallucinating.

At the same time, Medea on the side also looked at Ito Cheng with puzzled eyes. Of course, the same goes for Tohsaka Sakura.

"I have no need for the Holy Grail. Even Sakura and I's servants have no need for it, so that thing is completely useless to me. If you want it, I'll give it to you." Ito Cheng He reached out and held Medea's hand, and said with an indifferent expression.

"How is it possible!? The Servant responds to the Master's call and comes to the world because he desires the Holy Grail! At the same time, the Masters are also chosen by the Holy Grail because they have strong desires in their hearts. How can someone not have any need for the Holy Grail!? "Tohsaka Rin said in disbelief.

"It seems you don't know enough about the Holy Grail War, Rin." Ito Cheng smiled lightly.

"Yes, there are indeed such servants and masters, but it is not absolute. Because the choice of the Holy Grail is not entirely based on the strength of the magician's desire, but also has some other characteristics, such as subconscious needs and the mentality at the time. , luck and other combined factors, so there are also guys like me and Sakura who have become masters but have no aspirations at the same time." Ito Cheng explained.

"By analogy, not every Servant desires the Holy Grail. The reason why they respond to the Master's call and come to this world is just because their wishes can be fulfilled here, and only the Holy Grail can fulfill their wishes. This It’s about time you figured it out.”

Hearing this, Tohsaka Rin subconsciously wanted to look at the hidden Archer and ask him whether what Ito Cheng said was true.

"Then I'll give it to you." Ito Cheng chuckled.

"What?" Tohsaka Rin said in surprise, feeling that he must be hallucinating.

At the same time, Medea on the side also looked at Ito Cheng with puzzled eyes. Of course, the same goes for Tohsaka Sakura.

"I have no need for the Holy Grail. Even Sakura and I's servants have no need for it, so that thing is completely useless to me. If you want it, I'll give it to you." Ito Cheng He reached out and held Medea's hand, and said with an indifferent expression.

"How is it possible!? The Servant responds to the Master's call and comes to the world because he desires the Holy Grail! At the same time, the Masters are also chosen by the Holy Grail because they have strong desires in their hearts. How can someone not have any need for the Holy Grail!? "Tohsaka Rin said in disbelief.

"It seems you don't know enough about the Holy Grail War, Rin." Ito Cheng smiled lightly. (To be continued...)
