Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Matou Sakura was wandering aimlessly on the street.

This is a commercial street near Ikebukuro. Judging from the geographical location of the distribution of spiritual veins, it is very likely to become a place for battles between servants. As an outsider, getting familiar with the environment and road conditions for the first time is no less than setting up a workshop. For this reason, she also rejected the kind invitation of a cute blond girl to lead the way and chose to walk it herself.

Even so...this kind of action is more just to change the mood.

"Will Lord Roland be angry... Even though he said that he would participate in this Holy Grail War, my sister is still stubborn and wants to participate."

The girl's shoulders shrank. Although she had expected this outcome, she might have been wrong to let her sister do this. After all, after more than ten years of getting along with her, she could not be completely indifferent to Tohsaka Rin's kindness.

However, Matou Sakura has always been a very sensible girl and will never make Roland feel embarrassed.

Therefore, after confirming that her sister was determined, she packed her bags and came to Tokyo first.

Even if my sister really chooses to go to war with Lord Roland, she won't be able to win. In this case, it's better for me to eliminate her heroic spirit first, so as to prevent the stubborn sister from getting into trouble again.

Moreover, she also really wanted to see her sister being very sad after being defeated by her, but still pretending to be nonchalant. It would definitely be interesting.

Matou Sakura has been hiding this kind of desire in her heart for a long time. However, due to the reserve of a lady, she has never had a suitable opportunity to express it in the past. Therefore, her trip to Tokyo does not have any selfish motives at all. .

But currently Matou Sakura still has one troublesome thing.

That is about the choice of holy relics.

But even though she had overestimated the Holy Grail War as much as possible because of Roland's warning in advance, the abundance of Tokyo's spiritual veins and the functions of the unknown Holy Grail were still far beyond her expectations.

Her master was Medea, who was also a very skilled magician among the gods. Under her careful instruction, Matou Sakura also learned many ways to interfere with the Holy Grail system. But when she officially came to Tokyo and started to test the Holy Grail system through her connection as a Master, but all the results came to nothing, she also realized the huge gap between them and had to give up the idea of ​​cheating.

But such an unexpected situation undoubtedly broke her original plan.

Matou Sakura originally planned to use the holy relic given by Medea to summon the Hercules of the Argonauts, and then walked down the back door of the system to complete the quick push to Tohsaka Rin and her heroic spirit.

Now, this idea is obviously ruined. Although the great hero was also a first-class heroic spirit in the last Holy Grail War, Tohsaka Rin and her heroic spirits are not such simple existences. There is no prerequisite for cheating on the system. It's still a little bit worse to have an absolute chance of winning.

Fortunately, there is no turning point at all.

For some reason, Matou Sakura only felt that inspiration was constantly emerging in her mind, and the knowledge she had learned seemed to have come to life, spontaneously combining and arranging to give the answer she wanted.

"Want to try...summoning a spirit?"

In occultism, time itself means a gap in levels.

Compared with the magic of the Age of Gods, modern magic is not even a preschool book for children.

Among heroic spirits, this rule also applies. Heroic spirits from the age of gods tend to be more expressive, while gods are even better.

After all, the Servant is only a partial copy of the original data, and converts it into a container called the Spiritual Base provided by the Holy Grail War. Because the Spiritual Base is the same, even if the time of the Servant's lifetime is different from the legend, there will still be differences. gap, but it also maintains a certain balance to the greatest extent, so that except for a few exceptions, most of the gaps between the servants can be made up with noble phantoms and tactics.

But gods are different. They are higher-dimensional beings. To become a servant, you must weaken yourself until the servant's spiritual base can bear it.

And this means that as long as the spirit is successfully summoned, it will definitely reach the upper limit of the spiritual base.

However, this is essentially a loss that outweighs the gains, because the difficulty of summoning gods is completely out of proportion to the benefits.

It is basically impossible to achieve this in modern times. Even if it succeeds, it will only be like Einzbern, summoning a counterfeit named God, not to mention, it is also an exceptional level heroic spirit. , it’s better to put some effort into finding a special being like Gilgamesh, who can achieve the same effect.

As a disciple of Medea, Matou Sakura could not have imagined this, but as the thought deepened, the girl's eyes lit up.

"That's right... If it's like my sister did last time, this plan is feasible!"

Because Tohsaka Aoi and Sakura often stay at Roland's house, Tosaka Rin vaguely regards it as a second home. He even has his own room and occasionally listens to Medea's teachings, so Matou Sakura Also learned a lot about the goddess Venus.

Among them, the spontaneous summons of the other party's downgrade undoubtedly gave her a great inspiration.

Since the strength of the spiritual base is not enough, then use the host's body to make up for it. Since it cannot come through conventional means, then simply use Karma to force the other party to possess it. Not only can the spirit itself bypass the restrictions of the rules, but it can also be used as a The weak Master himself has also been strengthened, killing two birds with one stone.

The only thing this method requires is Matou Sakura's own suitability as a dependent body and master.

This is what Matou Sakura is least worried about. Even beings like the teacher and Lord Roland have said personally that they are highly qualified in this area.

From this point of view, she needs to consider whether she will cause trouble by being too popular.

"As expected, let's choose the category of pan-human history..."

Matou Sakura murmured, and then stopped. She was too focused on thinking and had reached the end of the shopping street.

"Hey, isn't the scope of Pan-Human History as a Servant a bit too big?"

Just when Matou Sakura was about to leave, suddenly, a voice came from above.

It was a clear and gentle female voice.

Matou Sakura subconsciously raised her head and looked warily at the woman sitting on the wall who was making a sound.

The other party seemed to be a girl of about fifteen years old, wearing a gothic lolita style outfit based on white and black. It was clear that there was no sun or rain today, but she was holding an overly decorated umbrella in her hand.

She has a face as delicate as a doll, but the lively smile on her face can still make people easily distinguish her from the decorations in the windows.

Her long, smooth light purple hair falls around her waist, her pupils of the same color are filled with a gentle light that makes people feel loving, and the smile that hangs on her face at all times also has an aura that makes people want to get close to her.

But Matou Sakura was unmoved. She was not naive enough to think that she could judge danger based on appearance alone. Being able to transcend her perception already represented the other person's abnormality.

Moreover, as a magician with the attribute of imaginary numbers, she can sense things that are even more unknown to others.

The girl in front of her looked as deep as a quagmire, as if beneath that smile, there was a surge of violent darkness, and she would fall into the abyss and be unable to extricate herself if she came even slightly close.

"You won't reply? Such a cold reaction..."

Seeing Sakura's performance, the girl frowned slightly, but before she could finish her words, the shadow of the deep imaginary number swallowed her whole at a speed that could not be captured.

Although her performance may not be as outstanding as her sister's, Matou Sakura's qualifications are no less than those of Tosaka Rin. Combining her own imaginary number attributes and the power of black shadow given by Roland, under the guidance of Medea, these are in the imaginary number space. The free black shadow has become a part of her magic. Even if the enemy is a heroic spirit, as long as it is not one of those first-class monsters, Matou Sakura can still fight.

But the next moment, in that empty space, the umbrella suddenly opened. What was exposed from under the covered umbrella was a figure that made people feel mentally shaken just by looking at it. It was made up of countless tentacles and A chaotic thing composed of eyes, and the girl who had been eaten by the shadow of imaginary numbers squeezed out of the umbrella again.

"It's amazing. The Matou family can't train you like this. It seems that this time is indeed valuable."

Even though she had been killed once, the girl's words did not make anyone think she was in a bad mood. She turned her twisted umbrella and let out a chuckle.

"Well, as an apology for misjudging you earlier, let me introduce myself."

The next moment, the atmosphere of the girl's smile changed suddenly.

Even compared to before, the smile on her face was still innocent, but it had a bit of the cruel color of a child observing ants.

"For the convenience of understanding, you can think of me as an outside magician. However, I will not be attracted by the spiritual world. Only the Holy Grail War is what I pursue, but I will not do it myself if it is not necessary. Coming to this stage, after all, only from the perspective of an outsider can we see the most exciting drama... But this time, the Holy Grail was a little bit unreasonable. It was obvious that people were just passing by and didn't want to get involved, but they were still pulled in. ”

The girl poked her cherry-colored lips, showed the back of her hand, and said with a smile.

"My name is Francesca. If it's you Sakura, you can just call me Fran. You and I are currently the Masters of the Fifth War. From now on, let's get along well."

Seeing the frank expression on Francesca's face and the elegant smile that didn't seem to hide anything, Matou Sakura narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You said... you are a magician pursuing the Holy Grail War?"

"Yes, I have been observing the Holy Grail War a long time ago. To be precise, I started recording it when it appeared," Francesca's eyes sparkled like a girl talking about love. It glows, and a sickly pleasure seems to overflow from it.

"In terms of the number of Holy Grail Wars I have witnessed, no one can compare with me except that stinky old man Kishua."

Master?

A sense of absurdity suddenly arose in Matou Sakura's heart. In the world of magic, the name Jishua can only refer to one person, the second magician called Gemstone, who can freely interfere with the parallel world. Not only was he the teacher of the ancestors of the Tohsaka family, he was also a leading figure in the Clock Tower.

"If you are related to him, why were you forcibly dragged into the Holy Grail War? Don't you claim that you only like to watch theater? I don't think that the acquaintance of the Jewel Man can even refuse the Command Seal."

"... That's really exaggerated, but I'm just not that good at fighting, and there are quite a few people I can't beat... Let me calculate, except for that smelly old man, that witch, the teacher who uses the ancient language, and Some rich vampires..." Counting on her fingers, Francesca's own expression became a little stiff, and Matou Sakura even subconsciously took a step away from this guy, as if she wanted to distance herself from the relationship.

Judging from the description, this guy is a troublemaker who relies on his immortality to wander around!

Seeing Sakura's actions, Francesca also looked dissatisfied and pouted and said: "But this time it was really an accident. After all, my master is also a goblin. As a disciple, I can't even I couldn’t refuse the invitation because that kid from Painful Red was too narrow-minded! He killed me more than thirty times, which made me a little mentally disorganized. This Holy Grail is particularly powerful for some reason, and that’s the result.”

"Pain..."

Matou Sakura murmured the title in the other person's words, reacted quickly and covered her mouth before finishing the taboo word.

"Look, everyone seems to want to say it but dare not, so how could I not try such a fun thing?"

Francesca said with an innocent look.

"Anyway, I'm used to being killed, but this time it's really unexpected. That woman from Pain Chi doesn't know what's going on. She seems to have a precognitive magic eye and knows what my next move will be. What are you doing, so it’s inevitable that you’ll be a little embarrassed.”

Hearing this, Matou Sakura frowned even deeper. Although she didn't fully believe Francesca's words, it was better to stay away from this guy, whether it was for safety or not to be implicated.

"So, what do you want to do with me?"

"Cooperate. Now that I have been roped in, I hope to become an ally with you in this Holy Grail War."

Francesca kicked her slender legs wrapped in white silk, spread her hands and said.

"The strength of the Holy Grail this time is far beyond your imagination. You must be able to see heroic spirits outside the specifications. No matter what your purpose is, you will definitely not be able to escape this dispute. And I also think that such a rare war can Just a little longer, so I wanted to offer you a small help as an ally.”

The girl who looked like a devil showed a charming smile that was contrary to her age.

"You have the qualifications to become a winner. The shadow of the imaginary number just now is the best proof. I happen to have a fusion material here that is very suitable for you. If you cooperate with her, great things will happen!"

Francesca said excitedly, and winked at Sakura playfully, with an expectant look on her face.

Matou Sakura's frown deepened.

"It's not necessary."

"Hey... think about it again, I am a very qualified ally."

Seeing Matou Sakura who didn't even have the emotion of curiosity and refused directly, Francesca was stunned when she heard the words, jumped off the wall, reopened the umbrella, and just about to do something, her movements He froze in place.

"The kid said it's not necessary."

The morbid atmosphere surrounding Francesca was like snow under the blazing flames. It suddenly disappeared completely. She raised her head stiffly and looked at the shadow standing next to Sakura Matou at some point. A young man whose presence is as strong as a dream coming to reality.

Matou Sakura was also stunned on the spot, but unlike Francesca, who only felt as if electric current was passing through her back, her eyes were trembling, full of complex emotions composed of unbelievable surprise and a little worry.

"Lord Roland!"

"Sakura, long time no see, even though it's only been two weeks."

Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed to be about to cry, Roland's cold voice softened a lot and he took the initiative to hold her hand.

After realizing that Roland did not blame herself, Sakura ignored Francesca's presence, hugged Roland with her backhand, and rubbed her head against his chest.

They hugged each other like no one else for a while. Although Sakura was still a little reluctant to let go, Roland took the lead in letting go.

"Now is not the time to do this kind of thing. Let's talk about it later. I'll talk to the guy in front of me first."

When Roland's cold gaze came over again, Francesca felt a chill in her heart, but after the fear filled her heart, it was replaced by a flush of excitement.

"That's wonderful! I see. No wonder this Holy Grail War is so abnormal. It turns out that the so-called wish is just a simple add-on. Is the real purpose for your growth?... No, in this way, such a war Aren’t all the participants candidates for sacrifice?”

"It seems that apart from your immortality, you are not useless at all."

Roland narrowed his eyes and looked at Francesca. Although she looked like an out-and-out, very heart-warming beautiful girl, unlike Sakura, he could see the indescribable deeper nature of her. It's filth that makes people go crazy just by looking at it.

"Please don't get me wrong, I don't have any ill intentions towards that child..."

"If there is, you are dead now. You know that I am capable of doing this... Before the start of this Holy Grail War, I don't want to temporarily change the master's candidate, but this is no punishment at all. It doesn’t seem appropriate if we don’t make it.”

"As long as it is not a punishment of death, I will gladly accept it. Please give me your orders."

Francesca simply shrugged, her perverse expression disappeared a lot, and she even looked at Roland expectantly, rubbing her legs gently.

Since Roland has no intention of killing her directly, there is no need to blow himself up now. She will be punished after her death. It doesn't matter to her at all, and she is even content with it.

The other party was a beast... If he was really treated like that, it would be worth it even if he died thirty more times.

Then after being punished, she simply ran away, staying away from the Holy Grail War, which was about to cause serious trouble, and stood under the stage waiting for the outcome.

That's right, the audience will never lose, Fran-chan wins!

Roland looked at Francesca, who was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and paused for a moment. Apart from death, this guy's level of chaos was second to none in the entire Xingyue. No wonder it was like this.

"In that case... just stay here and accompany me to fight this Holy Grail War to the end. There must always be some clowns on the stage to make it more interesting."

"Eh?"
