I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

a woman.

The long hair that stretched out to the ground was obviously purple but full of the smell of blood, exuding a strange luster.

The black tights are very revealing, covering only the chest to the top of the thighs, and the rest is made up with stockings and arm guards made of the same material. Paired with the tall and plump figure, people can't help but blush.

However, this definitely does not mean that a woman's clothing is inappropriate. On the contrary, the silhouette of the clothes matches the woman's figure very well. Although it's a bit erotic, it's more of a weird sacredness.

Like a witch soaked in blood from some dark legends in this country.

Evil and divine, so full of contradictions.

Now, this woman is standing in the entrance hall of the Matou family, in front of the eldest son Matou Shinji - a minute ago, Shinji opened the door with the key, and this woman walked out of the darkness, like a crystal of darkness. .

With a "click", Shenji's suitcase fell to the ground. He stared at the woman blankly for more than fifty seconds, without even saying the words "I'm back" that he had said countless times.

The woman just stared at Shen Er for more than fifty seconds, motionless, without saying a word, and with an expressionless face. As for the eyes, because they are covered by the same black eye patch, the eyes cannot be seen, but based on the analysis of the woman's reaction, there should be no fluctuation.

She was like a statue, cold and without temperature. She felt even colder, more lifeless, and less human than the Dead Apostles who had lost their human body temperature.

The boy who kept the door closed and the woman standing in the entrance stood quietly but stiffly until a head with the same purple hair poked out of the living room.

"Rider, are there guests? Ah, my brother is back."

Of course the one who calls Shinji that way is his younger sister Sakura Matou. According to usual practice, the first time she saw Shen Er, she would run over in three or two steps, or hold Shen Er's hand, or give him a hug. But today, she didn't do that.

To be precise, he was ready to do this, but after taking a step, he stopped again, shrank his body, and lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing her like this and looking at the cold woman in front of him, Shenji still didn't know the reason. Sighing, he picked up the suitcase, walked to his sister and patted her on the head, then walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Well... I also wanted to help my brother, so I summoned the servant before you came back."

Sakura held back her mouth, her fingers unconsciously playing with the corners of her clothes, and hesitantly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Everything still starts with Hatteres using magic power to attack Fuyuki's leyline, causing the Great Holy Grail to have excess magic power and activate in advance.

The Matou family had been preparing for this Holy Grail War for a long time. Once there was a problem with the Great Holy Grail, the whole family soon knew about it. There was no need for Justice to give any special instructions, the family members took care of it spontaneously.

Ordinary people who have nothing to do with the mystery, with the head of the family Kirizuruya Ma and the mistress Elsa as the core, take vacations, organize tours, and go out for inspections, trying to keep them away from Fuyuki, a place of right and wrong.

The remaining core members began to act according to the plan. Justeza and Chengzi moved directly into Mount Enzo, where the Great Holy Grail is buried, and monitored the Great Holy Grail at close range. Sakura, Fujino, Kirie and others were adjusting their workshops at home, setting up summoning spells, and preparing for the most important step of summoning heroic spirits and all subsequent steps.

As for Kariya, well, he has been excluded from these jobs. His only task is to take good care of Tohsaka Aoi and Tohsaka Rin wholeheartedly - he has rarely lived in the Matou family since Rin entered high school. Lived at the Tohsaka family most of the time.

It is said that the former playboy Tsuru also secretly took Kariya out for a drink and asked him if he had ever hit home plate. Kariya did not answer, but he could see obvious mood swings. It is estimated that even if he had not, it would not be much different. Since his boyhood The long journey that has begun has finally seen the light of day.

Let’s not talk about Kariya for now, let’s go back to Sakura.

From the moment Scathach left the inheritance crystal ten years ago, Sakura knew the inside story of the Holy Grail War and was determined to participate in the war as a Master. At first, neither Shinji nor Justeza agreed, but Sakura unexpectedly insisted. Considering that there was actually no way to ban Sakura from participating in the war, the two proposed a rather stringent strength standard. If Sakura reached it, she would be If you can participate in the war, if you can't, you and your parents will stay away after the war.

In the end, Sakura did it, and she did it three years ago at the age of thirteen. She became the strongest person in the family except Shinji, the real number one fighter, and the unpredictable Orange. "Justice", Kirie who controls the puppet with "double existence", and Fujino who has his magic eyes fully opened are no match for her. With such strong strength at their side, Shen'er and Justisa couldn't hold on any longer. Besides, they also needed help, so they agreed.

When they learned that the Great Holy Grail was activated and the Holy Grail War was about to begin, the girls quietly held a meeting and unanimously decided to be the first to summon the heroic spirits based on the principle of striking first. The person chosen by Sakura as the summoning target was Scathach, her master and craftsman who was summoned by Shinji during the last Holy Grail War.

There are many reasons to choose Scathach over Karna. For example, Sakura doesn't understand Karna and doesn't know how to get along with her. Another example is Sakura's unwillingness to summon a male servant. She also has a little girl's thoughts - the master is so beautiful and powerful, and her brother admires the master so much. , I always feel that it is a bit dangerous to put them together.

To this end, Sakura opened the room that Scathach had used that had been sealed for ten years in a special way, carved the summoning spell into the room, and arranged several of the items that Scathach used most often around the spell. ——Used dishes, used clothes, used towels, etc.—strengthens the "fate" with Scathach to the greatest extent.

After doing all this, Sakura began to summon at the time when the darkness was full and the magic was the most abundant. The summoning ceremony went smoothly. Through the spell connected to the spiritual veins, the magic power contacted the Great Holy Grail, successfully activating the heroic spirit summoning mechanism. Under the influence of the third magic "Heaven's Cup", the container of the job agency was made, the heroic spirit descended, and finally became a servant and came to Sakura.

At this time, Sakura was using the most elegant smile and the most in line with Scathach's teachings to welcome the arrival of her master, who had been absent for ten years.

However, when the light and thunder that opened up fantasy and reality dissipated, when the woman who was like the incarnation of the dark night condensed into reality, she spoke expressionlessly:

"Servant Rider, you came here in compliance with the call. He is a good person. If you want to be a sacrifice, you can do whatever you want."

Sakura's smile froze, and her expression was even more exaggerated than when Shinji was in a daze at the entrance for more than fifty seconds.
