However, I refuse!

The same question was asked again in her heart. In her understanding, if the owner of the dream was herself, why would she suffer such pain? Why did the same thing happen to her again? Shouldn't I have a beautiful world created for myself in my dream?

Why..became like this again..

Matou Sakura looked at Grandpa standing on the high platform with empty eyes, all of this was so familiar, no...to be precise...this was just a replay of her own experience in a dream. , nothing changed.

“…”

Matou Sakura lay peacefully among the worms, she suddenly understood why the world had changed back to the way she remembered, the reason was very simple...

Because she doesn't believe in hope...

In the beginning, she might cry, because she had hoped that the father she respected would change her mind about her daughter in the days to come, even if there was a one in a million chance, she wanted to believe it ...I believe that my father can learn about the Matou family, see all this, and then save her...

Such thoughts appear in her mind all the time, but once she realizes that it will not have any effect at all, perhaps the thought of shouting has never appeared..

After all, for me, the stronger the hope is, the despair I get in the end will be doubled in front of me... until, even the courage and thoughts to believe in hope no longer exist.

There is no prince in fairy tales, and there is no justice that will defeat evil even if it is late... This is just a fantasy from beginning to end.

No one has ever cared about her, she has never been valued by others... maybe... even she herself has never valued herself.

It has always been like this, once she is accused, no matter whether she is responsible or not, she will not refute it, she will think that she must have done something wrong, so she accepts it silently, and then apologizes, just like Matou Shinji said As I said, myself..

Just accept it... the rest, don't worry about anything....

Dreams, after all, are just fakes, they have never been reality, they are just fantasies about hope.

If it is a fantasy... then who is he?

Perhaps because she had accepted the 'reality' and originally planned to stop thinking and wait for the dream to wake up to face despair, a smile of a young man in hospital clothes suddenly appeared in her mind.

And he was the one who made himself aware that he was dreaming...

"If you want to know who I am, you must know who you... are..." These were the last words he said to himself before leaving.

"I... who is it..."

Matou Sakura slowly raised her small hand, and the worm on her arm fell under the action of gravity. In the dark basement, the vague chandelier became the only light source.

She looked at this light source and thought about everything about herself. What that person said hit her heart like a nightmare.

I...is it Tohsaka Sakura?

She shook her head. As far as she was concerned, she had already left the Tohsaka family. From the moment her father sent her away, she no longer had the title of Tohsaka, and was no longer the Tohsaka family. part of.

I.. Is Matou Sakura?

She shook her head again, maybe if it was in the real reality, facing such a question, even if it was asked by her respected sister, she would tell her Matou Sakura after facing such a treatment Bar...

But this is not what she thinks... If the price of becoming Matou Sakura is to be treated like this, she will definitely not agree.

"Why... I just want to live a peaceful life."

she spoke...

Breaking through the obedience of the past, she questioned Matou Zouken in front of her with emotions that she had never had before.

"Calm? Hahahaha, how many years has it been, this is the funniest joke I've ever heard."

Matou Zouken looked at him jokingly from above, as if he was a little bit surprised by his abnormality: "As a family of magicians, their pride does not allow them to be calm, because for us, being peaceful is equal to mediocrity. For Tosaka Tokiomi, the patriarch of the Tohsaka family who always upholds elegance, it is even more serious... something that will never be tolerated..."

Matou Zouken spoke slowly, pointing the crutch in his hand at her while speaking.

"The heir of the Tohsaka family will be your older sister, Tohsaka Rin, as for the heir of our Matou family...it's you... Matou Sakura..."

The heir..will it be me..

She looked at the swarm of insects around her again, and her previous questioning of Matou Zouken seemed to turn on some kind of switch, and her emotions burst out.

Because it's just a dream..

It's her own dream... If even this false world is infected by cruel reality, then...

The meaning of my own life.. What is it?

Isn't the dream just the hope derived from witnessing despair... because only here can the 'impossible' be realized.

"don't want.."

She denied it, and the disgust on her small face replaced the calm.

"I don't want to accept this disgusting thing..."

"Hehe, to be honest, I haven't laughed so happily for a long time. It's really a pity to hear such an innocent speech... After all..."

Matou Zouken looked at her with a smile: "You can't do anything, can you? Matou Sakura..."

I... can't do anything...

"Don't...call me Matou..."

"Oh? Then what should your name be... Is it possible that you still hope that your father Tosaka Tokiomi will take you back?! Inherit the name of the Tosaka family?"

Matou Zouken said in a mocking tone.

"My name is...Sakura..."

She spoke loudly. Although her voice wasn't too loud in the basement, it covered up the crawling sounds of the insects and became the only voice.

"I don't belong to the Tohsaka family...nor the Matou family...I'm not an item, I'm not a puppet for people to drive, and I don't need the so-called pride..."

Abandoning the Tosaka family and the Matou family, for her, she has always been just a very ordinary person, if possible, she just wants to live the most ordinary life, just like a plant Spend your own life quietly, this is what you really need to pursue.

The small hand that Sakura stretched out slowly covered the only light source in the basement, and then retracted it. For her, this ray of light is hope, she...wants...

Hold on to hope.

At that time, at the moment when her hands were closed, the whole world was plunged into darkness at this time, everything in her eyes seemed to be frozen there, and then cracks began to appear and then shattered.

Whether it was Matou Zouken or the dense swarm of insects in the basement, they all turned into fragments and disappeared into the air at this moment.

White light shines in through the broken world. The basement is not the so-called Matou House, but a very empty place. Here, white is the only main color, without a trace of darkness.

At this moment, a man was watching him, and then slowly closed the book in his hand, with a gratified smile on his face.

"Only when you truly realize that you are an independent individual, can a person grow up, but then again, the end time of this fairy tale is within expectations. I thought that in the end you would still choose to obey Well... I am really happy for you to have reached this point now."

"Although there are still many things to learn, at least you are no longer a puppet who only obeys what you say..."

While talking, he walked over and stroked his hair. Although he was still rubbing it randomly like before, Sakura didn't feel bored, but was very relieved.

"So, now you finally remember who you are?"

he asked slowly.

"Ah."

Sakura nodded, a smile appeared on her face after a long absence.

"Very good, now that you know...it seems that you are ready to know who I am."

He slowly closed the book in his hand, it was a very strange book with words that Sakura couldn't understand written on it.

"Um.."

Sakura nodded again.

"So... it's time to start..."

After getting her answer, the corners of the man's mouth extended slightly to the sides, and at this time, the man in front of Sakura's perspective was also constantly moving away from her, the light gradually faded, and some noisy voices of giggles began to come from the area. Spread out in the space.

Sakura looked at the person who was getting farther and farther away from her, his words began to become smaller and smaller in her ears, and the darkness once again shrouded her in it.

"Following the call... I ask you..."

"Are you my master?"

This was the last voice that lingered in her mind.

Chapter 350 Did you see the ignition?

Cold and damp.

In the basement of Matou's house, an old man named Matou Zouken looked at his feet with a cane.

It was a very deep place, where there were countless disgusting-looking bugs, and...a little girl with purple hair in the middle of the bug pile.

"Are you asleep? Or... have you finally given up resistance?"

Matou Zouken squinted his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him. In his memory, when she was first sent to the worm pile for engraving and transformation, there was still crying. As for the next day, her voice had gradually disappeared. , and today... when he pushed the little girl in again, she no longer made a sound.

His lifeless eyes stared at the ceiling like a puppet that had lost its soul.

"That's really sad...but thanks to you, this old man has the opportunity to punish his unworthy descendants."

Matou Zouken laughed lightly, looking at the unresponsive little girl with empty eyes: "Only because of his aptitude can he participate in the Holy Grail War? Even if he is selected, he will summon the most useless Berserker. Victory in the Holy Grail War is simply a fantasy... However, the old man did not have any hope in him from the very beginning."

"The old man is looking forward to it. If that unworthy descendant knows, I have agreed to his request on the surface, but secretly still let the little girl from the Yuansaka family enter the insect cellar... After all, the old man, as a person who has lived for so long As far as I am concerned, it is the only thing that can make the old man have mood swings..."

Matou Zouken said to himself, he didn't know if the little girl below heard him, because to him, torturing a person and making their souls howl was the happiest thing.

Will she snitch?

Jiantong Zouyan didn't think so, on the contrary, he was still looking forward to it, looking forward to what that unworthy descendant could do after learning all the truth.

Thinking about it, I'm afraid it's just letting the Berserker he summoned attack him, but it's a pity that he's immortal. Besides, driving the servants will naturally consume mana, and at that time, the engraving worms buried in his body will also Speaking of his internal organs being completely eroded, hahaha, it must be very interesting to think about that painful expression...

"Ok?"

However, just when Matou Zouyan had already started to imagine the ugly appearance of his unworthy descendants in his heart, he suddenly noticed something strange about the little girl from the Tohsaka family in the worm cellar, and a strong wave of magic power began to emanate from her body .

A blood-red light emanated from the little girl's right hand. As the light dissipated, a strange sign appeared on her right hand. There were three scissors in a circle, and these three arrows divided the circle into two parts very evenly. three servings.

that is!

Jiantong Zouyan suddenly frowned, looking at the little girl below.

You know, Matou Zouken is a magician who has lived for nearly 500 years. Even though this body is already aging, he will never mistake what that symbol represents.

"Yes... Command Seals! Why... the little girl from the Tohsaka family has Command Seals..."

Matou Zouken couldn't understand why the command spell representing the qualification to participate in the Holy Grail War would appear on the little girl in front of him. You must know that, as far as his information is concerned, the current seven heroic spirits have been summoned. No new Heroic Spirits will appear...

And there is no movement from the church... Could it be that...

Did the Holy Grail choose her independently to make her the eighth master? ?

Thinking of this, the corners of Matou Zouken's mouth curled up slightly. You must know that although his unworthy descendant is a waste, the little girl from the Tohsaka family in front of me is different... If she is really attracted by the Holy Grail If she is chosen as the No.8 master, that is to say, her aptitude is enough to drive a heroic spirit to participate in the Holy Grail War..

Although it is true that the eighth heroic spirit can be summoned through a certain method, this method is a violation of the rules after all, it is a loophole exploited... But it is different now...

opportunity!

Matou Zouken instantly realized that this was an unprecedented opportunity for him. Without violating the "rules" of the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail chose the No.8 Master, and it was still a formal process..

And judging from the current situation, their Matou family alone has two heroic spirits. Although the one summoned by that unworthy descendant is the most useless Berserker, if they are used to assist the little girl summoned by the Tohsaka family Heroic Spirit's words are also a good combination, but then again...

The command spell has appeared, which means that the heroic spirit has been successfully summoned... probably the heroic spirit with the highest compatibility with her... If that is the case... then where is it now?Could it be said that it has become a spiritual body?

Matou Zouken subconsciously wanted to use his own magic power to search for the summoned heroic spirit, but in the next second...

Tin -

A crisp voice sounded.

Gogogogogogogogo——

? !

In an instant, Matou Zouken suddenly came back to his senses, and at some point, those bugs that should have been included in it disappeared instantly.

Just now... what happened..

Matou Zouken looked at the strange things in front of him, even things that could not be explained by magic.

Silence, emptiness..

The entire basement seemed to have never seen bugs, not only that, but the smell had completely disappeared, as if there were no so-called bugs in this basement from the very beginning, and it was just a very ordinary basement for Matō House that's all..

No.. not right!

Matou Zouken gritted his teeth and denied the ridiculous idea in his heart. You must know that the bugs here are more or less connected with him to some extent. He can clearly say that he has absolutely no hallucinations. There is no dismantling error in the memory.

In fact, in a split second, those engraving worms disappeared there at the same time...

Was this what Heroic Spirit did?
