006 Deal with the Devil

It was almost evening when Rhodes arrived in Fuyuki City.

"It's 14700 yen in total."

The taxi driver spoke to him through the rearview mirror.

"OK, wait."

Taxi drivers who charge more than call girls are probably the only one in the world.

While smacking his tongue at the taxi fare in Japan, Rhodes took out two large bills from his wallet.

"Okay, thank you. Please walk slowly."

Rhode walked down the car door that opened automatically, and walked to a lifeless mansion on the orange sunset.

This is the mansion of Matou, the first time traveler in the world of Xingyue to check in to the holy place.

A moon traveler can avoid going to the Clock Tower or Chaldea, but he has to go to the Matou House!

A mummified old man stood in front of the Matou mansion amid the sound of insects.

There are sharp eyes in the sunken eye sockets, and the thin body exudes a disproportionate sense of coercion.

"Long time no see, Rhodes."

"Oh, Maqiri." Rhode waved at him frivolously, "It's better than anything to see that you are still so healthy."

The old man's name is Matou Zoe, the owner of this mansion, and the head of the Matou clan of the three families of Fuyuki Yu.

He was one of the founders of the Holy Grail War, the inventor of the Command Spell system.

Maqili Zorgen used to be an accomplished magician, but now he is just an ugly old monster who has survived for 500 years by sucking human blood.

Can't even appear in the sun, is a veritable inhuman monster.

After a brief chat with Matou Soo Inkstone at the entrance of the porch, Rhodes walked through the gloomy corridor of Matou's mansion and sat on the sofa in the reception room.

"Qualification has been obtained."

Rhode raised his right hand and showed Matou Zoyen the three scarlet stigmata that appeared on the back of his hand when he entered the Fuyuki area two hours ago.

"Huh, this is really... an interesting pattern. This time the Holy Grail War seems to be worth looking forward to.

But Rhodes, you didn't come here today to talk about this, right? "

"As expected of Maqiri. That's right, I'm here to say goodbye to Sakura today."

Matou Ziyan's cloudy eyes stared at the young man: "That is to say?"

"In other words, according to the covenant we once made. Please plant an engraved insect in Sakura's body tonight." Rhode said lightly.

Hearing this, Matou Zuoyan's body trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised a cruel arc.

"Hmph. The old man really did not see the wrong person, you are really a pleasant man."

"Haha... each other."

In the dark reception room, the beautiful young man and the ugly old man looked at each other with a vicious smile that shuddered.

The setting sun shone through the curtains on Matou Zaiyan's face, making Matou Zaiyan's thinking trance.

The memory of the old magician goes back to the day he met Rhodes.

……

A year ago, a few days before the Matou family welcomed the second daughter of the Tohsaka family into their home.

At the first sight of Rhodes, the 500-year-old monster felt as if his subjective time had stopped.

The small and slender body standing in the dark exudes a strong presence that does not match the physique.

On the face that was so beautiful that it didn't seem to belong to a human being, there was a smirking expression on it.

What depresses Matou Zuoyan the most is Rhodes' dark and cold pupils.

Just looking at those eyes, the old magician felt as if he had fallen into a black hole of absolute zero.

What kind of monster appeared in front of you?This was his first thought.

"I am the devil."

The self-introduction made by the young man was immediately accepted by the old man.

Matou Zuo Yan is an insect that is constantly devouring the deterioration of people's hits, while Rhodes is a dragon that can evolve by devouring souls.

The scale of life is different, and the nature is completely opposite, but they are exactly the same in one thing——

That is the evil nature that hides under the skin of man.

A year ago, Rhodes came to Matou Zuoyan and proposed a deal to him: "I will represent the Matou family in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

On the other hand, the date of burying the bug in Sakura's body was postponed by one year.

During this year, don't shoot at her, and I will occasionally come to Matou's house to play with her.

Don't worry, I have no interest in that girl, she is still the property of the Matou family.

The one-year period has come, and the Tohsaka family's daughter is at your disposal. "

"what is your purpose?"

Matou Zaiyan asked subconsciously, who was puzzled.

"I just want to have a good relationship with the daughter of the Tohsaka family."

Rhodes said with a cold smile: "...before she was trained/taught by the bug."

"...!!!"

After understanding his true intentions, the old magician's eyes widened.

——The boy in front of him is a monster beyond Matou Zuoyan's imagination.

What Rhodes thought was to first build a relationship of trust with the daughter of the Tohsaka family, and then carry out complete betrayal and harm to her.

After holding up an ignorant girl to the sky, he slammed her to the ground.

One can imagine how desperate, hated, painful, and sad Sakura would have been at that time—

Looking at the beautiful boy with black pupils, Matou Zaiyan felt fear from the bottom of his heart: he is a monster who truly feeds on the negative feelings of human beings and feels pleasure.

The deal was established, and the magician and the demon made a pact.

Matou Zuoyan will protect Sakura's safety and life for a year until Rhodes decides to "enjoy" her.

The Rhodes will represent Matou in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and if they win, the Holy Grail will be handed over to Matou unconditionally.

Of course, the contract also stipulates that they can't hurt each other and so on.

That is the man who built the Command Spell system.

When it comes to contract and restraint magic alone, Matou Zoe Inkstone can be said to be number one in the world.

No matter how powerful Rhode is, he can't go against it, just like heroic spirits can't resist the Command Spell.

Matou Zuoyan was very satisfied with this guaranteed profit and loss business, and at the same time expressed admiration for Rhodes.

For a year after that, Rhodes commuted between Fuyuki, Tokyo, every three weeks.

Every time he brings expensive gifts and souvenirs that can only be bought in the capital to Matou Sakura, just for the Bo girl to smile.

The Matou Mansion is so gloomy and cold, it is definitely not an environment suitable for young children to live in.

Of course Rhodes broke the girl's line of defense and became her spiritual sustenance.

Matou Sakura shyly called Rhodes "brother" and opened up to him with a smile.

Perhaps because of the blessing of her capable sister, Sakura has even become more cheerful and outgoing than when she was at the Tohsaka house.

All this, Matou Zuoyan saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

"Hum hum... Is this the so-called 'Heaven wants people to perish, they must first make people crazy'?"

And just like that, the year has come.

Rhodes told Matou Ziyan half a month in advance to prepare the inventory of the worm cave.

Two demons disguised as human beings prepare a powerful blood ritual for the pure girl living in her dream.

- Just tonight.

007 Rhode scolded Matou

"Sakura is outside playing with the other kids at this time, and won't be back until dinner time, so just wait here for a while."

Matou Zuoyan changed the subject and said slowly: "Speaking of which, Yan Ye came to visit the old man again yesterday.

He was still talking about his clichés about wanting to fight as the second Master of the Matou family. "

Like the original book of "F/Z", the news that Sakura was sent to the Matou family by the Tohsaka family reached Matou Kariya nearly a year ago.

As the second son of the Matou family, of course he is very aware of the nature of his own magic.

So Matou Kariya found Zuo Yan and volunteered to represent Matou in the battle, on the condition that if he retrieved the Holy Grail, he would release Matou Sakura.

There is also some thought of wanting revenge against Tohsaka Tokiomi in it.

But on the other hand, the power of the Matou clan today is not what it used to be.

Matou Zuoyan signed a contract with the foreign monster magician, and he no longer needed such waste as Kariya. The old magician refused Kariya's request without hesitation.

Since then, Kariya has persevered and stood at the door of Matou's house every other day, hoping that the old bug would change his mind.

He also met Rhodes once, and the dialogue between the two was only once.

……

"Are you a magician?" Rhodes asked him.
