I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Night is coming.

There is a different atmosphere in the air tonight, as if it is the depression before the storm arrives, making people feel tight in the chest.

There was also a lot of silence at the Matou family's dining table. Everyone ate their food in silence, without the usual conversation.

"I'm full. If I don't come back tonight, I won't necessarily come back tomorrow."

Kariya was the first to finish eating, nodded to everyone, picked up his coat and walked towards the basement.

Yes, basement.

As one of the three royal families that held the Holy Grail War, the Matou family was highly likely to be monitored by other masters. Therefore, Kariya dug a tunnel underground a month ago, allowing him to enter and exit the Matou family without anyone noticing. Home.

"I'm full too."

Shinji was the second to finish eating, doing exactly the same thing as Kariya, but instead of going to the basement, he returned to his room.

"Ah, brother, wait for me."

Sakura Xiaobu followed Shenji, leaving Heya alone in a daze looking at the empty dining room, and finally sighed for a while.

"Everyone is mysterious. Even if the Holy Grail War has started, you should have a good meal. I am obviously the most unruly person in the family - forget it, if you don't eat, I will!"

However, after just two bites, Heye's movements slowed down.

"It's not easy to have a family. Don't let anything happen again. I'm begging you, Kariya and Shinji."

In Shinji's own bedroom, Sakura held Shinji's arm.

"Brother, do you want to go out like uncle?"

Shenji denied: "No, I'm just too tired today and want to go to bed early."

"Liar." Sakura exposed it. "I know you want to participate in the Holy Grail War."

Shenji turned around and looked at his sister who had the same color as him without blinking.

At this moment, Sakura is no longer the girl with black hair and sapphire eyes, but has turned into a girl with purple hair and purple eyes similar to the color of the Matou family - not through Zangyan's inhumane marking insect transformation, but through Zangyan's inhumane marking insect transformation. Scathach spent two months using runes to change Sakura's color scheme little by little, making her look more like a member of the Matou family.

This has the intention of showing the attitude of the Matou family to the Tosaka family and reassuring Tokiomi Tosaka, but also Shinji's selfishness - the Matou Sakura in the memory should be a soft girl with purple hair and purple eyes, with black hair and green eyes. That's Tohsaka Rin's characteristic.

"Why do you think so?"

"I, I have seen the master suddenly disappear, just like my uncle's silent servant." Sakura said weakly, "Uncle also said that the master and Justisa-sensei gave him It feels very strange, not quite like a human being. Moreover, the master craftsman and Justisa-sensei have not been back for several days."

"." Shen Er's body froze and he said nothing.

Sakura held her brother's hand, her weak and stubborn look was heartbreaking.

In the end, Shenji couldn't resist his sister's eyes. He smiled bitterly and rubbed his sister's forehead with his free hand.

"Ah, I thought I did a good job keeping it secret, but it turns out you are all doubting. Should I feel like a failure, or should I say that I am worthy of being my family member?"

"elder brother."

"Forget it, after tonight, my uncle should be able to figure out Justeza's origins, so there is no need for me to hide it anymore."

Shinji gently broke away from his sister's hand and walked to the window.

"You are right, I do want to participate in the Holy Grail War. I made an appointment with Justeza a long time ago."

Sakura grabbed Shenji's clothes: "But, but, brother, this is very dangerous."

Shenji showed a soft smile to his sister: "It's okay. Compared with the training of the master, the Holy Grail War is nothing."

Sakura's hand on Shenji's clothes became tighter and tighter: "Well, then I'll go too. I'm also Master's disciple."

The smile on Shenji's lips became softer: "If you leave, who will protect my father? My father doesn't know magic. What if a bad guy breaks in?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Sakura hesitated. She had her brother on one side and her father on the other. She didn't know what to choose.

Shinji stretched out his little finger: "Sakura, you will protect your father, and I will protect your uncle. Let's work hard together, okay?"

Sakura looked at her brother's face, then at her brother's hands, and finally nodded: "Okay, brother, let's pull the hook."

"Well, pull the hook, and a liar will swallow a thousand needles."

Little fingers interlocked, thumbs touching.

After comforting his sister, Shenji put on a brown cloak with one hand and pushed open the window with the other.

The next second, his body floated lightly, floating out of the window and flying into the sky.

Sakura waved vigorously at her brother who was flying higher and higher.

"Brother, come on."

The voice was blocked by the barrier and could not be conveyed, but Sakura's thoughts had already penetrated into Shinji's heart.

The night wind was freezing and biting, but Shenji, who was in the air, didn't care.

Because of the physical difference, Scathach trained Shinji more like a warrior than a magician.

The most important thing in cultivating a warrior is physical fitness. For three months, Scathach has been using various methods to temper Shenji's physical fitness. As of today, weather changes in the general sense will not have much impact on Shen Er.

Under the cover of night, Shen Er rode the wind all the way to the west, reached the not far river bank and then turned north.

Weiyuan River is the main water source of Fuyuki City. It passes through the city from south to north and finally merges into the sea.

On one side of the estuary is the seaside park, famous for its beautiful sea views and pure white sandy beaches. It is a good place for citizens to relax and have fun. Unfortunately, it was winter and night, and the beach was deserted. Even dating couples were unwilling to get close. The only exceptions were Irisviel, who came from the North Country and was accustomed to the cold, and Saber, whose Servant body could not be measured by human standards.

When Shinji arrived, Irisviel was playing in the sea water with her bare feet. She didn't care at all that the sea water was only a single-digit temperature, and her smile was innocent and innocent befitting her age.

Seeing Irisviel like this, Shinji understood why she had caused such a big shake in Justeza.

The two are like two sides of a mirror, with similar backgrounds, similar experiences, similar fates, and similar choices, but their attitudes are exactly the opposite.

Shenji, who was in mid-air, quietly lowered his height and hid in the shade of the trees by the beach, where the other side of the mirror was hiding.

"Perhaps, your meeting can change each other's destiny."

"Shenji." Justeza did not regain her physical form, but Shenji could still feel the difference in her, as if there were slight cracks in the heart wrapped in frost, not big, but conspicuous.

Shinji shook his head at Justeza and said softly: "No need to say anything, just watch."

Before she finished speaking, Saber suddenly grabbed Irisviel's arms and pulled her close, and the warm atmosphere was suddenly replaced by solemnity.

"It's about to begin." Shenji's body tensed, "The second battle."
