However, I refuse!

Rin Tohsaka frowned. Of course she knew what Sakura wanted to say, but she couldn't understand why she would ask that question. After all, she couldn't imagine what kind of despair made Sakura like this.

Tin -

The lighter was slowly turned on, and the dark red instantly covered the entire room, which made Tohsaka Rin feel a little bad. After all, Sakura is the master now. If she really made up her mind, then such a hidden danger like herself must also To be ruled out.

"My sister doesn't know what despair is..."

As if reading the narration of the story, Sakura spoke slowly with a calm tone, and at the same time, Tohsaka Rin suddenly heard some voices.

rustling rustling——

The source of the sound is behind the door. In this quiet world, those sounds are continuously amplified in her ears like a megaphone.. so much so that she can even directly judge the source of the sound through the sound. The sound made by something.

insect..

Although Tohsaka Rin thinks this answer is a bit weird, there is no doubt that these sounds can only be made by bugs, but why... are they bugs.

However, when Tohsaka Rin was surprised, Sakura continued to say: "Sister... Open it and see... That is "Despair". "

"......"

Rin Tohsaka glanced at Sakura in front of her, then at the door behind her, and the voices behind the door hadn't disappeared, as if she was constantly urging her to open the door like a Pandora's box.

Perhaps it was the sea monster who had seen the caster before and Sakura's ability to blow people up that made her have enough courage. Rin Tohsaka put her small hand on the doorknob slowly.

Next.. wiggle.

Quiet, peaceful, the sound of the gears turning on the handle is like the sound of Pandora's box opening...

Kaka-

The door opened, and the vision of Tohsaka Rin, who opened the door, gradually changed. She stayed there, her pupils shrank to the extreme, and every cell in her body was looking at her. The brain exudes a dangerous reaction from instinct.

fear, fear...

When Tohsaka Rin saw what was behind the door, there were only these two emotions left in her brain, and these two emotions occupied almost every inch of her body.

"what is this..."

Rin Tohsaka's voice trembled uncontrollably.And the things behind this door were bugs as she had guessed at first, and they were very disgusting looking bugs, but what really frightened her was not these bugs, but...the number of bugs.

Hundreds or thousands?no... more than...

Standing at the door, Tohsaka Rin looked at the bug that almost occupied the entire aisle, and she felt her mind was blank.

At this moment, those dense bugs started to move, and began to rush towards the room. Rin Tohsaka closed the door subconsciously, but even if the door was closed, those bugs would appear from other corners. Only.. two.. then began to multiply in the room.

In one breath, the entire room was already occupied by these densely packed worms. The black casing almost covered the light source of the entire room, and in this room full of worms, only the lighter in Sakura's hand emitted a dark red glow. The ray of light, it was this ray of light that prevented the bugs from getting close to them, but surrounded the two of them and made a harsh sound that they felt.

They seemed to be complaining, complaining that without this ray of light, they would be able to drown the two of them..

"Understood? Sister..."

“…”

His back was soaked in cold sweat, Rin Tohsaka looked at Sakura in front of him, just like the little girl selling matches in a fairy tale, her purple eyes stared blankly at the constantly shaking flames...

Because this is her world, in this world she is very at ease, without fear, without fear, and nothing can hurt her...

Sakura slowly raised her head, looked at Rin Tohsaka and said, "This is, "Despair", the "Despair" that belongs to Sakura...."

Tin -

The lighter was turned off slowly, and it was at this time that the world returned to its original appearance, and warm colors became the main color again.

Here, in the clean and tidy room, the original oppressive atmosphere disappeared instantly, and the bugs that almost covered the entire room also disappeared at this time.

"Could it be...that's why Sakura hates her father..."

Tohsaka Rin is very smart. Although Sakura didn't say it directly, as a sister, she immediately knew that although the scene that just appeared was illusory, for Sakura... it was a real thing.

Combined with her previous resentment towards her father...

In other words, the Matou family...

Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but think of Matou Kariya who brought her here before. Suddenly, a terrible association emerged from her mind, and she finally understood why the Holy Grail chose Sakura as the master.

"Yes."

Sakura nodded without hesitation.

"If it wasn't for the Holy Grail to answer me, if it wasn't for the BOSS to answer my call...then, as a genius sister and heir to the Tohsaka family, can you tell me what awaits Sakura... .”

“…”

Facing Sakura's question, Tohsaka Rin remained silent.

Can't answer, because she knows that the world will not turn around because of someone, if Sakura didn't become the master, what awaits Sakura must be an extremely hopeless future...

It is precisely because I have seen "Despair" that I care more about hope, and for Sakura, the heroic spirit who rescued her is hope...

"Maybe...maybe father doesn't think so, maybe...maybe, father doesn't know that the Matou family has become like this...it's just a misunderstanding, Sakura..."

Rin Tohsaka put her hands on Sakura's shoulders, and she was still trying to defend her father's decision to Sakura, because she couldn't accept it at all, and couldn't accept that her father would send Sakura to such a place ...

"But... everything can't go back to the past, can't it? Sister." Sakura looked at Rin Tohsaka and said slowly.

"..."

Yeah...it's impossible to go back to the past...

Rin Tohsaka was stunned, she lowered her head, although her father's original intention was to allow Sakura to go to Matou's house to inherit their magic engraving. After all, as magicians, they were destined to be extraordinary from the moment they were born.

But even so...she still believes from the bottom of her heart that if her father knows that the Matou family treats Sakura like this, she will definitely rescue Sakura without hesitation and destroy the Matou family...

if.. ah.. if...

Thinking of this, Tohsaka Rin chuckled.

Naturally, even she finds such an idea a bit ridiculous, after all, there have never been so many in this world, if not?If it really happened, it would have happened a long time ago, just like Sakura now...

"But, Sakura...Even so, my wish to revive my father will not disappear!"

After learning what happened to Sakura, Tohsaka Rin's desire to use the Holy Grail to revive his father did not disappear, on the contrary, he became more determined.

"elder sister..."

"I know that what happened to Matou's house is a nightmare that Sakura can't get rid of, but that's also true, I will win the Holy Grail War and resurrect my father and let him apologize to you in person... Make it up for me personally As our father should do everything, after this, no matter what decision you make, Sakura, my sister will support you...

"But Sakura doesn't know how to let go...Sister, if you really become the Master, then, no matter what method you use, I must win the Holy Grail!"

Sakura's right hand with the Command Seal squeezed tightly.

"Ah...me too, Sakura."

Tohsaka Rin said firmly, and then opened the door, but before leaving, she turned her head to look at Sakura, and her sister gradually showed a smile on her serious face, just like they used to be When the family is taking a group photo.

"If it is said that Sakura's heroic spirit saved Sakura at the most "desperate" moment, then, this time, let's replace it with my sister..."

Chapter 390 Gradient Holy Grail War

Did you leave?..

Sakura stood in front of the window and looked at the back of Tohsaka Rin who had left, and Tohsaka Rin seemed to have noticed something and stopped to look at her position, then walked out of the gate and left Matou The mansion of the family.

"Why, my sister is so stubborn..."

Sakura lay on the bed looking at the ceiling, recalling everything that just happened.

'If she wasn't so stubborn, then she wouldn't be your sister, would she?It is precisely because you care about her very much, Sakura, that you will show that memory to let her cancel the reason for participating in the Holy Grail War. '

Li Hao, who knew what Sakura was thinking, smiled.

"Um..."

Sakura hugged the quilt and buried her little head inside, making a small sound.

Just like what BOSS said, when my sister persuaded me, she was not persuading my sister...

The Holy Grail War is inherently very dangerous, especially for the master. The experience of the past few days has fully verified this point. I personally experienced being assassinated by Assassin, fighting with the master, and the sea that was summoned by the caster. Escaping under the devil, using Saber to get rid of Lancer, even though these things have already been experienced, she still feels a little scared in retrospect.

Only by experiencing it personally can one understand the cruelty of the Holy Grail War, and my sister is only a master who joined the Holy Grail War halfway, so how could she know these things, and the "consciousness" that a master should have , the "awakening" of giving everything in order to be able to realize that wish

but..

Even if it's my sister, I definitely won't let it go... After all, Sakura also has a wish that she wants to fulfill...

"Speaking of which, Boss, since that person is dead, does it mean that Acher has also left the stage? Or is it that Acher is still hiding somewhere like us, waiting for other heroic spirits to decide the outcome? Are you coming out?"

Although Sakura was a little surprised by that person's sudden death, it does not mean that she will relax her vigilance against Acher. After all, the heroic spirits of Archer's job agency have the ability to act alone even if the master is dead. .

"Who knows..." Li Hao said charmingly: "But instead of thinking about Archer, it's better to deal with the matter in front of me first." '

"Um.."

Sakura nodded. Judging from the current situation, the fact that she launched the "Yan Ye Infinite Deception" to invalidate all the master's command spells that saw that battle may have been exposed in advance. If this is the case, then they can no longer be like Conduct investigative operations at night as before.

Because once the action causes her to be exposed and she is still alive, then what awaits her is a double assassination between the master and the heroic spirit, and even the joint between the master and the heroic spirit of other people. After all, this ability is too powerful. From the perspective of the other masters, she must be the most threatening person among all the heroic spirits.

"In this case...then we will take the initiative..."

It is also a strategy of the Holy Grail War that the weak unite to eliminate the strong first, and it is precisely this that has completely changed the situation...

If we say that it is the best plan to be more fishy at the end, but now the longer it is delayed, the higher the probability of her being attacked by a group... On the contrary, it is now for them before the alliance is formed. A nice opportunity.

'Hey hey, have you decided?Sakura... You know, I can't protect you all the time. Once you fight head-on, it means that you, the master, must also participate in the battle... But not all the master's heroic spirits are the same as lacner and the others Have chivalry...'

Li Hao said with a smile, but there was no surprise in his tone, and he even planned to stop Sakura's thoughts.

"It doesn't matter... BOSS... Sakura has already prepared the "awakening" of being a master from the moment she really wanted to get the Holy Grail. In addition, judging by the heroic spirits that still exist, we took the initiative to attack It’s not a bad thing, on the contrary, it’s a good choice for the current situation.”

Sakura thought about it and said.

"But there are indeed things that need attention."

Except for Assassin, Lancer, and Caster who have already retired, the other four heroic spirits, berserker is Uncle Kariya, and even if Archer still exists, he will not appear for a short time. After all, once it appears, it means that there will be a battle. Such a girl will consume her own magic power to speed up the disappearance time. In this way, the only heroic spirits who really threaten her are...

rider, and, saber.

But for these two heroic spirits, Sakura also has a certain understanding of them because of what happened on the first night. It is unlikely that the rider's master will directly attack a little girl like her. Master.

Thinking of this, Sakura remembered the shot from the dark at that time. If the BOSS hadn't noticed, she would probably be dead by now, and it goes without saying that the person who fired the shot was ruled out...

saber's true master...

—————————————————————

"Maiya, did you find it?"

In the dark basement, while adjusting the weapon in his hand, Emiya Kiritsugu asked Maiya behind him without looking back.And at the entrance of the basement, Maiya appeared there holding a stack of documents.

"Ah."

Maiya nodded and walked over: "According to the investigation at the time, the little girl who appeared on the first night was actually all alone, unlike what Madam said, she was just a girl who lost her way by the sea and was separated from her parents." little girl."

"really..."

Maiya's words further corroborated Emiya Kiritsugu's guess, and the special type of bow sheet that had been loaded in his hand was also unloaded from the gun and put into his clothes.

Maiya looked at Emiya Kiritsugu, who had already started preparations, and at the same time put the information in his hand in front of him: "In addition, the place where the little girl appeared was also analyzed, and the most likely one is the one of the Misan family. One's Matou family... After all, during this Holy Grail War, the master belonging to the Matou family has not yet appeared, and the place where she appeared that night was relatively close to the location of the Matou residence."

The Matou family...

Emiya Kiritsugu took the file and muttered while looking at the information on the file.

In other words, that little girl is actually the master who represented the Matou family in the Holy Grail War... No wonder, this may explain why she was able to avoid her own sniper Yuuman.

"However, Kiritsugu..."

"Needless to say, Maiya...I know what you want to say, but, unfortunately, since that little girl is a participant in the Holy Grail War, it also means that she also has a wish to fulfill, doesn't she? And she still has it Heroic spirits are incomprehensible existences, so... we try not to have a direct conflict with that heroic spirit."

"Yes."

Maiya looked at Emiya Kiritsugu who was still adjusting the gun, although his words were very tactful, but as his assistant, Maiya naturally knew what his plan was, after all, compared to troublesome Heroic Spirit, it was easier to solve the problem. The master is the easiest thing, not to mention that the other party is just a five or six-year-old girl.

Kaka-

Emiya Kiritsugu handed the adjusted gun to Maiya.

"Kiritsugu, this is..."

"Judging from the vigilance of the little girl who was able to avoid Zi Yudan, she must have noticed that Alice is not Saber's master, so this time I plan to appear at the same time as Saber to attract the other party's attention, Maiya, you are looking for Opportunity to kill her directly."

Emiya Kiritsugu slowly lit a cigarette in his hand: "Just in case that little girl has the same protective measures as Kenneth, here besides the original five sniper rounds, there is one specially modified "Origin Bomb" be careful to make good use of it."

"Ah."
