I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

After listening to Shinji's story, Kariya fell into silence.

He didn't tell the truth about what he said to Shinji. In fact, Shinji had just started, and Kariya knew that what he said was the truth.

He was simply shocked by a period of history that began before the Christian era and spread over two thousand years.

The magician who works miracles.

The mysterious third magic.

The ambition to save mankind.

Plan for 1800.

Three major families join forces.

A war that happens every 60 years.

At the thought of being involved in it, Kariya felt an inexplicable emotion spread from the back of his head to his tailbone.

There is excitement, bitterness, fear, and worry.

Of course, a man's passion is also indispensable.

After telling the origin of the Holy Grail War, Shinji said nothing more. He just drank water silently and waited for his uncle to digest everything he heard.

Kariya has a kind of decisiveness that ordinary people don't have. When he encounters a problem, he rarely gets entangled, let alone escapes. Instead, he will sort out the problem in the shortest possible time, decide what he should do, and absolutely No regrets.

When he was young, he wanted to leave the Matou family, so he immediately ran away from home and was never heard from again.

A year ago, when he heard that Sakura was going to enter the Matou family, he rushed back immediately and even planned to use himself as a sacrifice to save Sakura from the insect nest.

When he knew that Tokiomi Tohsaka would participate in the Holy Grail War a year later, he decided to fight as the master of the Matou family and defeat his old enemy - he thought.

When he knew that Sakura would inevitably enter the path of magic, he grew up in the shortest time and supported the Matou family, which had lost its only magician and was on the verge of decline.

Therefore, Shinji firmly believes that when Kariya knows the truth, he will quickly figure it out, because——

"It sounds like it has nothing to do with me?"

This was the first sentence Yan Ye said after he fell silent, and it was also the truth after clearing the fog.

"I knew uncle would say that." Shenji was not surprised at all by his uncle's answer.

No matter how profound things are hidden behind the Holy Grail War, it has little to do with Kariya. He is just a magician who has just taken off his rookie hat, and he does not have the pride and persistence of a traditional magician.

The source, magic and so on are too far away. He just wants to live every day now, watching Aoi and Rin silently from a distance, and pouring all his efforts into Sakura. This is already very happy.

"I'm just saying this because uncle should know all this. As the heir to the Matou family's magician lineage. The Einzbern family head Ahad and the Tohsaka family head Tosaka Tokiomi both know. Uncle, of course you You need to know too.”

Although his father, Matou Tsuruno, is the head of the family, Matou Kariya, who inherited the Matou family's magic seal, is the one qualified to know the truth. After all, the world of magic does not belong to ordinary people like Tsuraya. Sakura is still too young. It will not be too late to tell her ten years later.

I didn't say it before because Shinji didn't understand Kariya yet, and Kariya himself wasn't mature enough. And now, Kariya has inherited the magic seal, became a magician, and participated in the Holy Grail War. Now that he has seen Irisviel who looks exactly like Justeza, and has also seen Scathach enter the scene as a Servant, It's time to talk.

more importantly--

"It was my idea to conceal the identity of Justeza and Master. I hope that after my uncle knows the truth, he will not have any grudges against Master and Justeza. I regard them as family members."

After hearing what Shinji said, Kariya also expressed his attitude:

"Our family is what we are today because of Master and Justice. No matter who they are or what their purpose is, I will always hold a grateful heart. I believe that my brother and Sakura have the same idea. We My family is different from other cold-blooded magician families."

"That's good." Shenji breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you" is the best reassurance.

At this moment, Kariya suddenly showed a malicious smile to Shenji: "By the way, are we competitors?"

Shenji also smiled, with a dark and dangerous smile in his teasing: "From the Holy Grail War, only one Master can remain until the last point. Yes - why, uncle wants to decide the outcome with me first? Say something. To be honest, I really don’t think you will win, uncle. Although Master is the Assassin with the lowest attributes, it is not easy to defeat Berserker with the highest attributes, but Berserker can’t get rid of Master. This period of time is enough for me and Yusi Tisa pushed you to the ground and removed the command spell."

Yan Ye's expression froze on his face, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Hey, hey, you can't save some face for me, I am your uncle after all."

"I'm just stating the facts." Shenji deliberately put on a serious look, looking very unworthy of being beaten.

Kariya also wanted to beat Shinji, but considering the difference in combat prowess between the two - especially in close combat, Kariya finally gave up the idea and continued the bickering instead: "What if I convince Sakura to help me?"

"Hmph, that's impossible." Shen Er shook his head quickly, "Sakura will definitely be on my side."

Yan Ye was unhappy in his heart and even more dissatisfied: "I don't believe it!"

"Believe it or not, Ai. Besides, uncle, you won't involve Sakura because you regard her as your daughter. I won't involve Sakura either. She is my sister." At the end of the sentence, Shenji looked towards the training ground. door.

The little Sakura opened the door softly, leaned out her little body, and found that Shinji and Kariya were looking at her. She shyly retracted behind the door and closed the door again. Her cute appearance attracted the uncle and nephew to look at her. My heart smiles.

"Okay, you win." Kariya admitted defeat willingly.

"It's not that I won, it's that there was no such thing as winning or losing."

Shenji sighed, put away his joking attitude, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Our wishes never need to be realized through the Holy Grail. I hope to purify the Holy Grail, uncle - I just want to defeat Tokiomi Tohsaka and take a good breath of the bad energy accumulated over the years, right?"

Kariya nodded calmly. Except for Sakura, everyone in the family knew why he was working so hard.

"So, the function of the Holy Grail is not that important to you and me. Even if I really get the Holy Grail restored to its original state, I don't know what to wish for."

Shenji didn't tell lies. Even if the Great Holy Grail was restored and could truly connect to its roots and become an all-powerful wishing machine, Shenji wouldn't be too interested.

The root has a fatal temptation for magicians, but not for Shenji, because he knows very well that a magician who reaches the root cannot return to the present world.

This world is so wonderful, and he hasn't had enough.

If we really want to explore the root cause, we can wait until the day when he has no nostalgia for this world anymore.
