The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

Among them, using one's own blood relatives as props or as materials for casting magic is a common occurrence.

After all, there is nothing a magician cannot do in order to achieve his long-cherished wish.

They are indifferent to family affection and can easily give up family responsibilities. They can also cut off ties with relatives without hesitation, as decisively as discarding a useless thing.

If Tōsaka Tokiomi was a little more cold-blooded, he could naturally use Sakura as a tool to win and realize his own wish through his own child.

After all, as long as he could find out about the Matou family's magic, the Tohsaka family would have a better chance of winning the upcoming Holy Grail War.

Regardless of whether Matou participates in this Holy Grail War or not, he can still obtain a certain amount of intelligence.

However, the price of doing so was Sakura's death and a complete break with the Matou family.

To be honest, this does not fit Tōsaka Tokiomi's personal style.

'Tōsaka' and 'Matou' are allies, and since Matou has basically no interest in this Holy Grail War, there is no need for Tokiomi to make any stupid moves.

This is also for the future of my daughter.

Tokiomi kept reminding himself of this in his heart.

However, less than half a day had passed when something strange happened to Matou.

Under Kirei's gaze, Tokiomi thought for a while and quickly made a decision.

"Let the 'Assassin' pay some attention to it and monitor it remotely without being discovered..."

"If possible, let the 『Familiar』 check on Sakura's condition..."

Although he didn't expect to resume surveillance of the Matou residence so soon, Tokiomi was still a little worried about Sakura's safety, and was also curious about what happened in the Matou family.

It was impossible to believe something like "gas leak", and of course Tokiomi didn't think it had anything to do with Sakura.

A five-year-old girl could cause a fire in the Matou family, so you might as well tell Tokiomi that Matou Zouken was assassinated. This would be more in line with common sense.

But who on earth was it that dared to cause trouble in Matou's workshop?

Is it related to the "Adventers"? Could it be that Matou summoned a heroic spirit?

No, that's somewhat unlikely.

Tokiomi was absolutely certain that Matou did not recruit any magicians from outside.

After all, he only temporarily gave up the surveillance of the Matou residence, but he did not relax the surveillance of the surrounding areas at all.

If Matou made any big move, it would definitely not escape his notice.

If the successor does not have the qualifications, even if Matou possesses the "Sacred Relic", the successor will not be able to meet the requirements to become a "Master".

The three great families being qualified is one thing; whether the Command Seals will appear in time is another.

The Holy Grail selects its Master based on merit, and those who are not qualified enough cannot become a Master before the time limit arrives.

Only in the final few days will the Holy Grail release the Command Spell.

In other words, Matou will definitely possess the Command Seals, but definitely not now.

Thinking of this, Tokiomi shook his head and dispelled the thoughts in his mind.

We cannot make any rash definitions on this matter for the time being, and we can only consider it after the specific investigation results come out.

"I understand... I will pass the order to the 'Assassin'..."

Facing Tokiomi's gaze, Kirei nodded slightly, showing his understanding.

"Then I'll take my leave, Master."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Kirei..."

The master and the disciple made eye contact, and Kirei turned and walked towards the workshop door, without looking back, walking down the passage step by step towards the ground.

......

Two years ago, when Kirei had just started learning magic, Tōsaka Tokiomi taught Kirei an ability called "sympathetic perception".

As long as they were connected through magic, Kirei could share sensory organs with his "familiar", such as vision, smell, hearing, etc.

In the Holy Grail War, using Servants for long-distance surveillance is a very important task. If the Servant is also an "Assassin" who is good at spying, it will be even more powerful.

That night, Tōsaka Tokiomi received a surveillance report on the Matou residence from Kirei.

The barrier was still there as usual, Sakura was safe in the room, and seemed to be very happy, even playing with the maid.

Apart from this, the "Assassin" did not sense the presence of a Heroic Spirit near the Matou Residence, nor did he see Matou Zouken walking around the room. Everything else was normal.

Upon learning of this result, Tokiomi felt relieved, but at the same time he was skeptical about this phenomenon.

It would be great if everything was normal, but if it was too normal, he would feel that there was something fishy going on.

However, things had come to this point, and Tokiomi could only let Kirei give instructions to the "assassin" and continue to maintain surveillance on the Matou residence.

--------

Tatsumi was unaware of the situation at the Toosaka residence. As a Heroic Spirit at this moment, he still maintained his habits, using his senses to confirm the surrounding situation before making careful plans.

In the morning, after dealing with Matou Zouken and his disgusting bugs, Tatsumi took Sakura to find Matou Tsuruno and reached an ordinary agreement with him.

First up is Tsuruno himself.

After Tatsumi dealt with Zouken's clone, he asked him whether he wanted to follow in Zouken's footsteps. The timid Tsuruno decisively chose to follow his heart, that is, to give up Matou Zouken and completely draw a line with him.

Facing a monster that could destroy Matou's workshop in one go, Tsuruno had no desire to resist. Rather, it was because he had been tortured by the bugs inside and had seen the various familiars cultivated by Zōken that he knew the value of the heroic spirit in front of him killing all the bugs in the bug warehouse with one blow.

He was Zouken's assistant. In the morning, he was the one who took Sakura into the insect warehouse. It was no exaggeration to say that this action was aiding and abetting the evil.

The Adventer was a Heroic Spirit summoned by Sakura, so it was lucky that we didn't kill him.

However, in response to his plea for mercy, the "Heroic Spirit" miraculously let him go.

In the eyes of the other party, killing him might be as easy as stepping on an ant.

However, Tsuruno still felt a little bit unbelievable that he had survived miraculously, and at the same time, he felt a sense of relief for having survived the disaster.

Because of his own experience, Tsuruno developed a personality that goes with the flow. He did not have any great resentment towards the things done by the "Adventers", even though he was standing at the gate of hell, just one step away from death.

The destroyed workshop belonged to Zouken Matou, who was just a lowly assistant.

Although he is nominally the head of the Matou family, he only has relatively good living conditions.

As a son, he was not sad about Zang Yan's death. Instead, he almost couldn't help clapping and cheering.

There is one thing that few people know, that is, after his wife gave birth to Shinji for him, she was cruelly thrown into the insect warehouse by Zou Yan and used as food for the insects.

Because of this incident, he never looked for a suitable partner again.

Putting aside the question of his partner’s qualifications, what’s more important is that he is no longer willing to develop feelings with a strange woman.

Otherwise, as long as Tsuruno is willing to be a sowing machine, Matou's financial resources can fully support him to live a life of luxury and debauchery outside. In the next few years, he can at least give birth to a few offspring.

But what's the point of doing this? Isn't it just a toy in Zang Yan's hand?

Tsuruno buried his anger deep in his heart until it completely exploded after Zōken was driven away.

It was a pity that it was a clone who died. He Ye felt that it would have been better if it was the real person who died.

Moreover, at present, the barrier of Matou, the insect warehouse and the like have all been destroyed, but the books and some collections are still intact. Only the insects have been killed by the "Adventers".

As the eldest son of the Matou family, Tsuruno, who believes that he is the only one on the right path in magic, sees an opportunity, an opportunity to free the Matou family from the clutches of Zouken.

If the "Adventer" can protect the Matou family from being disturbed by that old monster, then Tsuruno can even offer everything he has, including loyalty.

However, it is a pity that one year later, the Holy Grail War, which takes place once every sixty years, will break out again in this city.

Six more monsters like this will appear in a year, and each of them may be stronger than the "Heroic Spirit" in Sakura's hand.

At that time, whether the heroic spirit in front of him and the daughter of the Toosaka family can survive is not a matter of fact. This will extinguish the fire in Tsuruno's heart that wants the family to be independent from the old monster, making Tsuruno feel even more desperate.

Tsuruno is not aware of the true strength of the "Adventers" because he has always been Zouken's assistant, so his knowledge of magic is just rote memorization.

It is easy to guess Tsuruno's mental activities, because just by looking at his eyes, Tatsumi can get a general idea.

But even though he understood it, it was impossible for Tatsumi to specifically explain his abilities to him.

Tatsumi didn't want to interfere with what he wanted to do or what he was thinking. Even if he was doing something secretly behind his back, Tatsumi wouldn't care.

His extremely strong strength enables him to ignore all conspiracies and tricks.

However, compared to Matou Tsuruno at the beginning, he became a lot more cheerful in a short period of time.

Because he doesn't have to participate in the Holy Grail War as a Master in a year, and he doesn't have to live under the shadow of Zouken. These two things alone are enough to free Matou Tsuruno from the terrible pressure.

Tsuruno thinks that since Zouken is no longer in the Matou residence, can he leave Fuyuki this year and reunite with his son in a foreign country (take refuge)?

One year later, Fuyuki City will be transformed into a battlefield. After learning this information, he was able to hold back his mental collapse, which was beyond ordinary people.

But even so, Tsuruno's spirit is still on the verge of collapse. And as time goes by, it breaks down bit by bit.

It is normal for people to be afraid of death. Don’t you see that even Zōken is so afraid of death, let alone someone like Matou Tsuruno who has no talent.

If it weren't for Zōken, Tsuruno would have left this family that frightened him just like Kariya.

Only Sakura knew about the conversation between Tatsumi and Matou Tsuruno, and the reason why Tatsumi didn't kill him was that he and Sakura needed a temporary place to stay and needed someone to help deal with things.

Before deciding on the future destination of his little girl, Tatsumi decided to requisition the current Matou residence as his base.

To Matou Tsuruno, this was more of an order than a discussion.

Tsuruno had no right to refuse, nor did he have the thought of refusing. He even wished that Tatsumi and Sakura could continue to stay here.

Because Tsuruno has already decided that he will leave Fuyuki City in half a year and stay away from this chaotic place where conflict is about to break out.

For the next six months, he will serve Tatsumi as a servant, and Tatsumi will give Tsuruno a certain amount of protection so that he can live a quiet life without being harassed by Zouken.

In this way, Tatsumi and Sakura settled down in the Matou family, while Matou Tsuruno ordered people to deal with the aftermath, that is, to deal with various traces that appeared in the house due to the collapse of the barrier.

Considering the possible existence of "assassins" in Fuyuki City, Tatsumi was in charge of the barrier issue. As for Tsuruno himself, he was assigned by Tatsumi to deal with the incoming firefighters and reporters.

When it was noon, Tatsumi took the time to make a delicious lunch for Sakura, and then took out several "Bio-Emperor Cores" from the treasure house to take care of Sakura's daily life.

After all, Sakura is a girl, and it is impossible for a man to take care of everything. In addition, he has to deal with other things, so the appearance of the "doll" becomes very necessary.

The image of the 'doll' is that of 'Sakuya Izayoi', and the core contains 'maid module', 'cooking module', 'life module', 'teacher module', 'esoteric module', 'magic module', 'combat module', etc.

Due to technological advancement, today's "dolls" no longer need to be bound to their users like the original imperial tools. They can operate automatically and can even use emotions and feelings as a source of power.

In addition to "Izayoi Sakuya", Tatsumi also found the time to get a few guards, and notified Tsuruno to dismiss all the bodyguards in the house next month.

Hearing Tatsumi's outrageous request, Tsuruno, who was called into the room, was slightly stunned.

"You mean... dismiss them all?"

"Yes, all of them. Give everyone an extra month's salary and tell them to get lost..."

Although it was only a short day, Tatsumi had already seen the true nature of these bodyguards.

Before his arrival, the Matou family's workshop kept a familiar called Lust Bug.

It is clearly written in Matou Zouken's records that the lustful insect likes human blood, bone marrow, and semen.

Once a man is crawling onto a body by the lustful insect, his spine will be shattered and his brain will be sucked out, thus becoming a disabled person.

If it is a female, the bugs will first invade the nerves and extend their tentacles to various parts of the human body, constantly craving for a certain special substance.

The bugs will inject their mucus into the body like a needle, and at the same time secrete mucus to wet the skin, making the human spirit center excited and happy instead of the physical body, and then destroy it to satisfy their hunger.

On one hand, it pushes the woman's rationality to the limit and burns the nerves in her brain to give her pleasure, while on the other hand, it invades her body and eats up the useful organs, ultimately completely destroying her mind and body.

The work of these bodyguards is actually very easy. Generally speaking, they will not encounter any strenuous tasks. Their daily tasks mainly include driving and patrolling.

In addition to their normal daily work, bodyguards also have the job of fucking women.

Yes, you are right, it is the kind of job you want.

Under Zang Yan's arrangement, they would go to a certain room and indulge in their primitive animality and desires.

According to common sense, this should be the dream job for most men.

After all, even in Japan, there are no other jobs comparable to this one except being an AV actor.

It is a high-paying job, but it also involves a certain degree of risk. However, after actually taking up the job, these bodyguards discovered that their imagination and reality are completely different. It can be said that they were extremely happy.
