When the Sand Sculpture Trial Comes to Yokohama

His servant speaks very directly, and his thoughts are also very direct, and the extremely difficult task seems to be a matter of course in her mouth.

Matou Kariya knew that all of this could not end so simply.But when he looked at Minan Rinka, he was inexplicably infected by her determination, so that he had a hope that he had never dared to think about in the past year.

In the mammoth western-style mansion of the Matou family, there is a stone staircase leading directly to the ground, and at the end it sinks into the huge underground worm warehouse.And in the worm warehouse that was dark all year round, worms cultivated by magic methods were piled up more than one meter thick.

Countless worms covered every corner of the worm bin, and Sakura Matou was buried there quietly.It has been a year since I entered the worm warehouse for the first time.After that, she was locked here for several hours every day.

Even though Matou Kariya endured the torture of implanting the engraving worm in his body, and participated in the Holy Grail War as Matou Zouken expected, but before winning, Matou Sakura's pain did not stop for a day.

Can it really be done?Is it really okay to let the servants summoned in the Holy Grail War do this kind of thing?This is obviously not an act aimed at winning the Holy Grail War.Matou Kariya kept asking himself like this, sweat could be clenched in the palm of his hand.

But the moment he opened the door of the worm warehouse, the uneasiness in Jiantong Kariya's heart disappeared.All the things filling his mind turned into the desire to rescue Matou Sakura.

Because he hated himself for being powerless, in the past year, he never dared to visit Matou Ying when she was in the worm warehouse.

The door opened, and the sound of insect wings flapping, the sound of joint limbs rubbing, and the sound of insect feet tapping the ground as they crawled formed a dense and piercing noise.

After hearing this noisy voice, Minan Rinka frowned in disgust and raised her right hand.Soon, a ball of spiritual light shot out from her palm, crossed a parabola and landed firmly in the center of the ceiling of the worm warehouse.The stable white light of spiritual power illuminates the entire worm warehouse, and also drags countless worms in the worm warehouse under the bright light.

Under the insect warehouse, countless insect carapaces are intertwined, and the scales reflect the white light of the psychic light ball.The original pure white light shone on the insect shell, and the reflected light seemed to be polluted by something, and the color became no longer pure.

"Sakura!" Matou Kariya roared, and ran down the steps.His voice aroused countless echoes in the worm warehouse.He was just about to jump into the worm bin to look for Matou Sakura who was buried in the worm, but he didn't expect that Minan Rinka had stepped in before him.

"Berserker!" Kariya Matou exclaimed in shock.Although the servants are heroic spirits, these bugs themselves are also cultivated through magic, and they can also cause damage to the servants.

But soon, he found that Minan Linhua's body was covered with a layer of faint spiritual white light, which isolated her body from the insects in the insect warehouse.

Minan Rinka released the spiritual power circulating in her body, forming a thin layer of spiritual power armor on the surface of her body.The insects that came into contact with this layer of spiritual energy seemed to be decomposed by some strong corrosive substance, and they all neighed and turned into black smoke.

Minan Rinka walked to the center of the insect warehouse.With the blessing of spiritual power, her five senses are more sensitive than ordinary people, and she can quickly distinguish the slight breathing sound that is different from the noise of insects.

She bent down, thrust her arm deep into the worm pile, and grabbed a girl from it two seconds later.

The insects approaching Minan Rinka sensed the danger and fled in all directions.The girl's face was soon revealed—it was a child with purple medium-length hair, a delicate face, and empty eyes, and a crumpled red headband was tied into the hair on the sideburns.

There were large patches of redness and swelling on her skin.It's the traces of a bug infestation.

"Sakura!" Jian Tongyan yelled loudly, jumping into the insect warehouse and running in the direction of Minan Linhua.

However, the moment he jumped into the worm bin, Minan Rinka activated his spiritual power and returned to the stone stairs in the blink of an eye.The two happened to make actions at the same time, so they just passed each other...

Seeing that there was no one in the center of the insect warehouse, Jiantong Yanye was stunned when he turned around and saw Minan Linhua again.

Minan Rinka didn't know what to say at this time.She took off her coat and wrapped it around Matou Ying, looking at Matou Kariya who was still standing in the pile of bugs, she couldn't help but said: "It's not necessary..."

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +695]

Matou Kariya finally came to his senses, and quickly turned around and went up the steps.He stretched out his hand to the girl in Minan Rinhua's arms, wanting to take her, but withdrew his hand because of some timid fear of being close to home.

"You take Sakura outside the worm warehouse first." Minan Rinka was not as nervous as Matou Kariya, but put Matou Sakura in his arms, "Wait for me at the door."

Matou Kariya subconsciously picked up the delirious girl and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't you think that the worm bins that are used to do such evil things shouldn't exist?" Minan Rinhua turned to face the worm bins, her expression gradually grim: "I want to roast worms, hehe... "

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +505]

The silver-haired man was silent for a moment, then turned around and ran out with Matou Sakura in his arms.

The worms in the worm bin sensed the crisis, and quickly crawled in the opposite direction of Minan Rinhua.The floor of the worm warehouse, which was usually piled with worms more than one meter thick, now showed uneven stone slabs.A strange commotion gradually appeared, and a large blank space appeared in the insect swarm in front of Minan Rinka.

She bent down and burst out a tyrannical spiritual power from her palm without hesitation!In an instant, the interior of the worm bin was illuminated like daylight.As the dazzling white light of spiritual power diffused, the fleeing insects centered at the end of the stairs, transpiring into a large cloud of black smoke.

I used to be a child abandoned by my parents, so I don't want to see children with the same fate suffer.

After hearing all about Matou Sakura, Minan Rinka made up her mind without hesitation to take her away from this place.Originally, this was Matou Kariya's wish. Matou Zouken wanted to get the Holy Grail, so he relied on his own strength to grab it. What kind of skill is it to torture a powerless little girl?

When she was abandoned by her parents and lived on the street, Minan Rinka was picked up as a "sheep" by Nakahara Nakaya, and Nakahara Nakaya became the one who changed her fate.Therefore, now, she doesn't mind being the one who changes Matou Sakura's fate.

Matou Sakura lay on Matou Kariya's shoulder, and regained a little consciousness because of the bump when the latter was running hard.

Day after day of "education" has made her numb to this torture.She can't even think about those days when she lived like a normal child a year ago.But at this moment, the brilliant white light reflected in the corner of his eyes is like the long-lost sunshine that cannot be seen underground.

Matou Sakura raised her eyes, and saw the girl at the end of the stairs, and the sea of ​​insects that had turned into ashes inch by inch under her hands.

The brilliance of spiritual power came into his eyes.In the next second, she was taken out of the worm warehouse by Matou Kariya.

***

When Minan Rinka left the insect warehouse, Matou Kariya was still waiting outside with Matou Sakura in his arms.The girl in his arms was as thin as a piece of paper, but Matou Kariya's arms holding her were shaking all the time, as if the person in his arms weighed a thousand catties.

"Berserker, next..." He was at a loss, "What should I do? Sakura hasn't dressed yet... Can you take her to change?"

Minan Rinka nodded, and took Matou Sakura.She walked forward a few steps with Matou Ying in her arms, but the girl suddenly said a very light word.

"Grandpa... will be angry..." Matou Sakura said weakly, "Education has been interrupted, and the bugs have died..."

"That's right, Matou Zouken will definitely not let it go..." Matou Kariya gritted his teeth, "Berserker, do you want to leave here? I still remember a few places where I used to stay, where I should be able to force those The old man's pursuit is right..."

Minan Rinhua stopped and was silent for a moment: "Avoid him? Isn't what we should do now be to chase him down?"

Jiantong Yanye was stunned: How dare this person chase and kill Jiantong Zouyan?

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +999]

[System prompt: Matou Zangyan's palpitation value +999]

Matou Zouken's palpitation value?Minan Rinka instantly understood.I'm afraid that after his worm died, the old thief Matou Zouken had already discovered that something was wrong, and he was paying attention to the situation here through some means at this time...

Thinking of this, Minan Rinka found a bug hiding in the shadow of the corner.

The bug lay motionless in the corner of the wall, as if it wanted to merge with the floor tiles.When Minan Rinka looked over, the bug turned around and crawled in the opposite direction, obviously trying to escape.

Without saying a word, Minan Rinhua stepped forward and pinched the bug in her hand...

[System prompt: Matou Zangyan's palpitation value +999]

Minan Rinka stared at the struggling insect in her hand, and sneered: "Want to run? Hehe, I have a 40-meter sword in my hand, so I will allow you to run 39 meters..."

[System prompt: Matou Zangyan's palpitation value +999]

"Where are you?" Minan Linhua stared at the worm in her hand, "Old bald donkey, don't hide inside and keep quiet, I know you are at home. You have the ability to release insects, you have the ability to open the door, don't hide inside I know you're home without making a sound."

"You let worms and worms come to scout, you bastard! You just kneel down! If you have the guts, just stand still! Kneel down! Don't move! Kneel down! Don't move..."

[System prompt: Matou Zangyan's palpitation value +999]

[System prompt: Matou Zangyan's palpitation value +999]

[System prompt: Matou Zangyan's palpitation value +...]

Suddenly, the worm leg in Minan Linhua's hand kicked, and it instantly turned into dust and fell on the carpet with a rustle.Apparently, Matou Zouyan saw that the bug was cold, so he let it run away to death.

"..." Minan Rinka was silent for a moment, and didn't care about the bugs anymore. She took Matou Kariya and walked forward as soon as she took a step. While walking, she said, "I don't believe I can't find it." It's your turn, this time I will send you to the prison to be imprisoned until you die, and I will sue you..."

Unexpectedly, she wandered around in the mansion of the Jiantong family several times, but couldn't find the Zunyan inkstone...

"Absolutely, where can this old thief hide..." Minan Rinhua was still muttering, but Jiantong Kariya behind him spoke weakly.

"Berserker, Matou Zouken is my father in name, but in fact he is not. He has lived for a long time, and no one knows how old he is." Matou Kariya said, "During the long time, he Abandoning the body that is not easy to maintain as a human being, and using bugs and magic to create the current body. He is not here now, and he may have turned into a bug and left..."

Minan Rinhua was stunned, and suddenly understood: Matou Zouyan realized that his worm could not confront Minan Rinhua, and he turned into a worm and slipped away...

Immediately, Xiaohua became angry: Can she let Jiantong Zouyan slip away like this?That must not be possible!

So Minan Rinka immediately asked Matou Kariya: "Do you know anything valuable in this house?"

Matou Kariya was a little puzzled, but still held Matou Sakura in his arms and replied: "Yes. Cash, bank cards, passbooks, gold, real estate contracts, and some certificates of trust funds are all placed in the safe in Matou Zouyan's room , there are also some valuable oil paintings, antiques and Western sculptures in the house..."

Soon, Matou Kariya's confusion disappeared.He held Matou Sakura in his arms, and the two watched Minan Rinka clean up all the valuables in the whole house.

Minan Rinka seems to have a different-dimensional pocket. I don’t know how to put it away, and the oil paintings are gone, the antiques are gone, and the Western sculptures are gone...

After entering Matou Zouken's room, Matou Kariya originally thought that Minan Rinka would violently destroy the safe embedded in the wall.Unexpectedly, with a wave of Minan Rinhua's hand, the safe and half of the wall disappeared...

"What's going on with you?" Matou Kariya finally couldn't help asking when half of the wall was wiped away by Minan Rinka, "How did you do it?"

Hearing this, Minan Rinka was silent for a moment.

If you want to ask how she did it, of course she was holding Honmaru's small teleportation compass with one hand in her pocket, and teleported things directly into Honmaru according to the timing.

But Matou Kariya cannot know about sending the compass and Honmaru.So Minan Rinka thought about it, and replied, "This is the effect of my Noble Phantasm."

The servants who are summoned often have "treasures". "Noble Phantasm" is the weapon most closely related to the heroic spirit, and it often enables the heroic spirit to exert the strongest combat power.

Matou Kariya knew about the Noble Phantasm, but he didn't know what kind of Noble Phantasm could have such an effect: "What type of Noble Phantasm do you have?"

Minan Rinka thought for a moment again: "The right treasure?"

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +233]

Matou Kariya didn't quite believe it: "Really? Why can't I see your treasure?"

Minan Rinhua's subordinates kept moving, and they were still talking nonsense: "This is a treasure that only smart people can see, and people who are not smart enough can't see it..."

Jian Tong Yanye suddenly felt palpitations: "Are you the emperor's treasure?"

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +250]

Minan Rinka is not very happy: Is this to hurt each other?Come on, who is afraid of whom?

So she said, "Why, can't you? If you want to, you can too."

He can too?Matou Kariya was a little surprised: "I can do it too? You mean I can be like you? Why do I do like you? Be the emperor's treasure?"

"That's not it." Minan Rinhua said, "I see that you are very talented, and your muscles and bones are unique. It just so happens that the emperor still lacks a treasure that can make a long strip with a hook at the end that can help people walk. craftsman. So I must ask, do you make sticks?"

Jiantong Yanye was stunned: Is this beating around the bush and scolding him?

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +369]

Afterwards, Matou Kariya didn't say much anymore, he watched Minan Rinka silently and searched all the things he said before.

Matou Sakura didn't make a sound, she was silently watching this double talk from the beginning to the end...

In short, after this wave went on, Jiantong Zouyan was in place in one step, and he bled profusely.

Matou Kariya felt that it was a miscalculation for Matou Zouyan to leave his property and run away, but then he thought about it, everyone is a magician, and there are conflicts in ordinary times, but magic is just right, who would have thought that someone would beat the opponent He ran away and confiscated the opponent's property?

No, Matou Zouken didn't expect that Matou Kariya would show Minan Rinka all the places where money is hidden in this family.Otherwise, Minan Rinka really wouldn't be able to find the really valuable things that he hid deeply...

This is really a typical case of the limitations of the magician's thinking.

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +999]

On the other side, Minan Rinka found a large enough suitcase from Matou's house, packed all the belongings of Matou Kariya and Matou Sakura into the box, and then searched all the magic books.

She cleaned up all the belongings in this mansion, and she didn't plan to look for other properties of the Matou family.After all, Jiantong Yanye also has an older brother, Jiantong Heye, so it would not be good for Jiantong Heye, who knows nothing, to eat dirt directly...

Matou Sakura, who had already changed into a small skirt, held Matou Kariya's hand, and looked at all this in a daze.She was a little puzzled why her unchanging life would have such a big change today.

She didn't know Rinka Minan, so she had to raise her head and ask Kariya Matou: "Uncle Kariya, where are we going now?"

Matou Kariya didn't know how to answer for a while.He thought about it, and asked Matou Sakura: "How does Sakura feel? Is there any place or thing you want to do?"

Matou Sakura was stunned for a long time, and finally said softly: "I want to go...that park."

***

The place Matou Sakura wanted to go was actually just an ordinary green park.At the entrance of the park, there is a road leading to the tables, chairs and gazebos in the center for citizens to rest. There is a convenience store not far from the gazebo.The rest of the area is a large area of ​​lawn and woods.

A year later, Matou Sakura revisited the old place, standing in the gazebo, feeling a little dizzy.

She looked around at the surrounding scene, and finally pulled out from the depths of her mind the memories of playing here with her mother and sister in the past.But now she's standing here by herself, without her mother, or her sister.This made her finally realize that it is not this park that bears her longings, but the people here.

Now the park even looks a bit boring.

Jiantong Yanye guarded Jiantongying closely, for fear that something might happen to her.Beside the two were two huge suitcases filled with their clothes.

They will never go back to that Matou residence.

While Matou Sakura was staring at the park in a daze, the automatic glass door of the convenience store not far away opened to both sides with a "ding dong".Minan Rinka came out of the convenience store carrying a plastic bag.

She walked up to the two of them and opened the plastic bag with her handle.I saw a whole bag of ice cream and cold drinks of various flavors in the plastic bag.

"Choose what you like to eat." Minan Rinhua thought for a while, and added, "It's summer."

In the surrounding woods, the chirping of cicadas resounded loudly.Matou Sakura hesitated and picked out an orange-flavored popsicle from the bag.

The popsicle was so cold that her fingers were a little numb, Matou Sakura tore open the bag, and carefully took a bite of the orange popsicle.

Soon, the three of them sat in a row on the benches under the gazebo, each eating an ice cream.

Matou Sakura sat on the bench, took a bite of the ice cream, glanced timidly at Rinka Minan, then took another bite of the ice cream, and glanced at Rinka Minan again.

"What's wrong?" Minan Rinka noticed Matou Sakura's movements and asked softly.

As soon as the words fell, Jiantong Yanye felt palpitations.

They were all secretly looking at her, why is Matou Ying's treatment so different from his treatment?

Isn't this Berserker also able to speak well?

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +99]

But Matou Kariya is not going to compare with Matou Sakura.Matou Sakura hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister, what's your name? Uncle Kariya calls you Berserker, should I call you that too?"

"Okay, anyway, the name is something outside of the body." Minan Linhua took a bite of the popsicle.

Matou Sakura held the dripping popsicle upside down in her little hand: "What about Grandpa?"

"Grandpa? Do you mean Matou Zouken?" Minan Rinka smiled kindly, "He went to a place far, far away. If you want to ask how far it is, you can't come back. If you ask It’s the kind that can’t come back, that is, if he dares to come back, he really can’t come back forever. Haha.”

[System prompt: Matou Kariya's palpitation value +150]

"Oh." Matou Sakura didn't understand what Minan Rinka meant, she only knew that she would never see Matou Zouken again.She was slightly relieved.

She thought she had become numb to the torture.But when she was dug out of the worm bin and brought outside, into the sun, or on the lawn, she found that she was still not completely numb.

She has grown greedy for sunshine and fresh air, and she doesn't want to leave again, and she doesn't want to go back to the dark and cold underground.

In the past year, Matou Sakura's thoughts have been distorted by Matou Zouken, like a piece of clay that has been shaped.She has gradually formed the inherent thinking that "those who defy Matou Zouken will have no good fruit to eat".But this time, even if the entire worm warehouse was burned, Matou Zouken did not appear.

This aroused a little hope in the little girl's heart.She actually hates Matou Zouken.

"Berserker, where should we go next?" Kariya Matou was also at a loss at the moment.His greatest wish to participate in the Holy Grail War seems to have come true now, so will he continue to fight this war?

"Look for a hotel to stay first." Minan Rinka thought for a while and said, "Isn't the Holy Grail War about to start? I still have to be busy."
