Hogwarts Crawler

The moment he saw Matou Sakura, Matou Kariya collapsed and struggled to crawl in front of her:

"How could it be... How could it be like this..."

Having experienced the magic circuits being widened by the Crest Bug, he could of course see the marks left by the Crest Bug on Matou Sakura's body. Although Adam purified the Crest Bug, these marks would not disappear for a while.

"This is different from what he said..."

"But it is consistent with your expectations, otherwise you would not control Berserker not to attack."

Hearing Adam's words, Matou Kariya's body was shocked.

Indeed, he had already guessed it in his heart, but he had no room for resistance before. Even if he transferred all his hatred to that guy Tōsaka Tokiomi, he could only rely on Matou Zouken to get the power to take revenge.

"After all, you are not saving this little girl, you are just venting your personal anger."

Adam shook his head, but Matou Kariya had no reaction.

Enkidu looked at Matou Kariya in surprise, not knowing what Adam meant by that, but...

"Adam, he's dead, what about Berserker?"

"It doesn't matter, you see he didn't disappear."

Adam pointed at Berserker:

"When the three Command Seals disappear, the Master's restraint on the Servant will no longer exist, and the transfer of the Master's identity will only take a moment."

So Matou Zouken's hope of waiting for Berserker to break free of his restraints and help him leave during the last period of his life never existed, because Berserker was already Adam's Heroic Spirit at that time.

As Adam finished speaking, Berserker knelt on one knee in front of Adam. Because of Adam's magic, Berserker's madness attribute was suppressed to a certain extent, probably changing from a beast to a human with animal nature.

Enkidu nodded in understanding, and then looked at the ruins in front of him:

"Then these..."

"No problem."

Adam stretched out his hand:

"Restore it as before."

With a command, the broken ruins and ashes were completely restored as if time had gone back, except that the original magic barrier was gone. As Adam used the ability of the formation to operate it, even the ominous magic power was restored to its previous state.

"The Matou family manages more than one spiritual place, and Matou Zouken often goes out to inspect various places. Therefore, as long as it is kept as it is, no one will suspect it even if there is no one inside."

After explaining, Adam removed the magic covering the place:

"Let's go, take this child, we will deal with her problem first."

"Yes."

Enkidu leaned over and picked up Matou Sakura, and then followed Adam's footsteps.

Berserker followed in spirit form. If he ran fast, he would not make as little noise as Adam and Enkidu.

…

“That child…”

Looking at the illusion created by Adam’s magic in front of him, which could synchronously project the situation on the other side, Merlin sighed:

“It’s really a pitiful person…”

Having said that, Merlin actually didn’t, and couldn’t have much sympathy. After all, he was a half-nightmare in this world. He liked the results left by humans, but it was difficult for him to have any emotional fluctuations towards humans themselves.

The only exception was that one person.

“It’s easy to treat her body. I can prepare a potion for her, but how can I redeem her soul?”

Adam blinked.

Matou Sakura has woken up now. She doesn’t want Adam to delete her memory, so Adam won’t force her.

As for Matou Sakura’s future, Adam feels that he shouldn’t make decisions for Matou Sakura, but the fact is that Matou Sakura is in a state where she can’t make decisions for herself.

This child has developed a character of going with the flow in her past life. It can be said that she has no opinions on the future at all—because in her past, her own ideas can’t make any changes to her future.

"Why not return her to her guardian?"

Merlin shrugged his shoulders. He remembered that Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't know what Matou Zouken did to Matou Sakura. If Matou Sakura was sent back and turned back into Tohsaka Sakura, Tohsaka Tokiomi should take good care of her.

Adam thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, there were Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Aoi in that family. But when he proposed this option to Sakura, Sakura showed obvious rejection.

"No! Don't!"

The girl's facial expression was still a little stiff, but tears kept flowing out of her wide eyes:

"Don't send me away..."

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm not sending you away..."

Enkidu, who was holding Sakura,While comforting her, he looked at Adam helplessly:

"She seems to be very afraid of being sent away."

"There is no way, she will be handed over to someone else... It is useless for you to look at me like this."

Adam also looked at him helplessly:

"Don't forget, we can't take care of her all the time, even if we only take care of her until she grows up and can take care of herself."

Enkidu was silent for a while. Oh, yes, now the three people in the room are all heroes...

After hearing the conversation between the two, Ying bit her lips tightly, and her face suddenly became more wooden, with a tendency to close the defense that had just been opened.

Adam rubbed his eyebrows.

To be honest, it is actually unnecessary to worry too much about Ying's future now, because after several attempts, it is not certain whether this timeline can be preserved at that time.

But seeing such a poor little girl standing in front of you, how can he pretend that she does not exist?

"Can Merlin, who is good at solving problems, give me some advice?"

Adam saw Merlin again, but Merlin just spread his hands:

"I've already given you an idea. Hand her over to her family - her family doesn't dislike her. Even if she rejects them now, they will get better in the future. This is the best way."

Unless Adam is willing to leave this projection here to take care of Sakura until she grows up, otherwise this is not the timeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War. Where can he find someone like Shirou Emiya who is willing to take good care of Sakura and can be accepted by Sakura?

You can't stop taking medicine just because it's bitter.

Adam nodded. That was the only way.

"But before that, should we get rid of Rider first? King of Conquerors Iskandar, although he has a very generous personality and makes people feel good about him, his abilities are indeed uninteresting."

The King's Army is indeed magnificent, but it is inconsistent with Adam's usual elegant style. He always swings his wand directly.

If Iskandar were to leave early, the bond between him and Waver would naturally break down. Without the guidance of the King of Conquerors, could Waver still become El-Melloi II?

What? Because Adam’s intervention prevented Kayneth from dying, Waver could never have become El-Melloi II?

Oh, that’s fine.

“The next target is confirmed to be Rider, and then we will go visit Tokiomi Tōsaka.”

Adam waved his hand and determined the next course of action. Before that…

“Let’s have dinner first!”
