Chapter 19 Coach, I want to learn magic!

Why?

Why don't you want to die?

They endure daily suffering, unable to be exposed to the sun, living in this inhuman way, a life more painful than death.

Why do we cling to all the pain and hold on to life when we could simply end it all?

I remembered.

That's right. Initially, it was for a noble purpose.

In order to eradicate all evil, in order to seek miracles.

"Humanity is beyond redemption; if we, as human beings, cannot eradicate evil..."

"If the ideal world is a place that humans cannot reach..."

"Then seek things beyond humanity, and find a new form of humanity."

"That's right, we will dedicate our lives to eliminating all evil in the world."

To grasp all things in one's own hands. To understand all truths and reach places no one has ever been before. To transcend the finite body and reach the infinity of the soul.

The species called humankind. Confined by pre-defined boundaries, they yearn to escape this endlessly spinning spiral. All hatred and suffering are ultimately for healing and elimination.

—I remember now.

After the lament of knowing there is no paradise, if this world is empty, if even the creation of a physical body is not allowed, then rise up and head towards a place where it can be permitted.

It's not about creating a completely new world, but about transforming ourselves and human life into something entirely new.

--to this end.

Therefore, they seek the Holy Grail.

Seeking miracles beyond human capabilities.

There is no reason for something to disappear before it is achieved.

Therefore, we must live on despite our disabilities.

“That’s right, that’s it, the messenger of Einzbern.” Zouken murmured. With his magic circuits completely destroyed, he couldn’t even hold onto the last remnants of his soul, and could only watch helplessly as he dissipated like sand.

"You finally remembered." Shuoyue lowered her head, her golden eyes abandoning their disgust and becoming solemn.

“I will inherit your tragic aspirations and pursue the Third Law, the miracle of the materialization of the soul—but not for the salvation of all mankind, but for survival, and incidentally to see another possibility for the future.”

"Oh, really..." The voice faded away. "Whatever."

As the sound ceased to exist, the vast swarm of insects also came to a standstill, utterly annihilated in the flames.

The shadow that had shrouded Fuyuki City for two hundred years finally dissipated.

Matou Zangen

[Character Information]: Original name: Marchiri Zorgen...

[Hidden Information]: In his youth, Machiavelli Zolgen was a close friend of Paracelsus von Hohenheim, a physician and alchemist from the 16th-century Renaissance. Although their research areas differed, Hohenheim considered Machiavelli a respectable idealist. In his prime, Machiavelli Zolgen possessed the combat power to fight against Servants, and under certain circumstances, could even defeat a single Servant.

Recording conditions

1. Saved Matou Sakura from Zouken Matou. (Completed)

2. Completely kill Zouken Matou. (Completed)

[Record condition 1 has been completed, reward "Detailed Explanation of Imaginary Number Magic" has been obtained!]

[Record condition 2 has been completed. Reward obtained: "Water and Insect Magic Explained"!]

A massive influx of information about magic flooded Shuoyue's mind, causing his thoughts to pause slightly. By the time he came to his senses, Yanye's words were already coming to an end:

"It was really satisfying to kill that old vampire, but won't the Tohsaka family find out we did this?"

It's important to understand that the Tohsaka and Matou families aren't far apart, especially considering that brat Sakugetsu even used an RPG to bombard the area. Such a commotion, if discovered by Tokiomi Tohsaka, setting aside the inherent sordidness among mages, just the fact that he might think the Matou family has lost its ability to raise Sakura and wants to take her away—

Thinking of this, Matou Kariya clenched his fists, feeling powerless more than once.

"Don't worry, I hid the Matou family's house with magic a long time ago. From the outside, this place looks peaceful."

"It's eerie, isn't it?" Yan Ye complained, looking at the petite figure in Shuo Yue's arms with eyes full of tenderness. "Come here, let me hug you."

"Oh—" Shuoyue drawled, deftly turning around so that Yanye wouldn't see the girl he longed for. "Xiaoying was someone I rescued with great difficulty. Why should I leave her in your care?"

"Hey, you can't say that!" Kariya retorted. "Our Matou family and that Tohsaka guy have a contract. This child should be in my care!"

However, Sakugetsu didn't buy it: "Do you know that the reason Tokiomi Tohsaka was willing to let Sakura come here is to inherit the Matou family's magic crest?"

The Matou residence was still burning. Beneath Kariya's stiff expression, the golden-eyed youth wore a mocking expression:

“The Matou family has been destroyed by me, and their magical crests are gone. So, Matou Kariya, what makes you think Tokiomi Tohsaka would allow his daughter to stay in this place? Are you going to rush over and get beaten down like a dog, or kneel down and beg for mercy from the person who stole Aoi Zenjou’s happiness?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Ye unconsciously clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh without him even realizing it.

Shuoyue continued without pausing: "Don't delude yourself into thinking that Sakura will be happy after leaving. In order not to waste his daughter's talent, Tokiomi Tohsaka will definitely send Sakura to another family. However, the so-called magician family... Hmph, you know the answer in your heart."

Wasn't it because of his fear of everything related to magicians that Matou Kariya chose to run away?

"I... I can't let Shichen take Sakura away. I won't let Sakura lose her happiness," Yan Ye said, his eyes bloodshot.

“But you don’t have the ability to protect Sakura. Even if you run away, you may not be able to escape the Tohsaka family, who have connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world. You might even leave Sakura constantly under the shadow of being hunted down.”

Matou Kariya fell silent.

He wasn't stupid, and he understood why Sakugetsu was being so aggressive, but Matou Kariya simply didn't want to let go anymore.

"I know, you mean you want Sakura to come with you, right?"

"Exactly..."

"No, there is another option!" Yan Ye stepped forward, grabbed Shuo Yue's arm, and looked at her with determination.

"Hey, let's get this straight, I'm straight, so don't mess around with me!" Shuoyue looked at Yanye's crazed gaze, her lips twitched, and she involuntarily took a step back. "I already have someone I like!"

With a thud, Matou Kariya knelt down, performing the most perfect dogeza (a traditional Chinese kneeling gesture) before Sakugetsu. "Coach, I want to learn magic!"

"Ah, oh, so that's what it is." Sakuyue breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion, finally regaining her normal expression. "I do have some needs from the Matou family, otherwise I wouldn't have been dawdling with you for so long, but to be honest, even if I taught you magic now, you would still have a hard time defeating Tokiomi Tohsaka—understand?"

“Of course I know that.” Matou Kariya looked up, unconcerned about how humiliating his posture was.

He would do anything for Sakura.

Looking at his expression, Shuoyue finally understood Matou Kariya's purpose.

So that's how it is; they want to tie me to their chariot.

After all, how could someone who could destroy the Matou family be afraid of the Tohsaka family's threat?

Under the man's uneasy gaze, Shuoyue pondered for a long time before finally revealing a malicious smile:

"Although it's not exactly what I planned, since one of us is willing to give and the other is willing to receive, then I won't be polite and will take away your fate."

Chapter 20 The Three Great Families Suffer a Devastating Raid

"here it is……?"

The next morning, led by Yan Ye, the three of them walked through rows of quiet houses and arrived at an antique Chinese building.

“Ah, just as you requested.” Matou Kariya walked ahead. “‘Abandon the conspicuous Matou family and find a new base, but if you want to go to Tohsaka or the Matou family, you can just walk there’—aside from the properties owned by the Fujimura group, this property is the most suitable. If the couple hadn’t been in a hurry to return to their country, we wouldn’t have been able to get it so quickly.”

"Let me see." Shuoyue wasn't interested in the story of this house. In the Holy Grail War of the future, which would be based on covert warfare, magical factors such as the quality of the ley lines would be the so-called "geographical advantage." "This place is located right on a node of a spiritual ley line. In layman's terms, the feng shui here is excellent."

The young man knelt down and put the little girl he had been holding down.

The little girl with black hair rubbed her eyes, still sleepy: "Um... Brother Shuoyue?"

"Sakura, do you like this house?" Sakuyue asked gently.

Sakura glanced timidly at the house, then quickly replied, "Brother and Uncle can decide. I'm fine."

That obedient appearance evokes both pity and heartache.

Yan Ye and Shuo Yue exchanged a glance, smiled, and then quickly sighed.

"There's no other way, let's just stay here for now." Shuoyue picked up Xiaoying again, and under Yanye's envious and jealous gaze, pushed open the door and went inside.

"At worst, we can renovate this house from top to bottom."

"Of course."

The two men, completely oblivious to the problem in their words, led their beloved princess into the stronghold.

This Chinese-style building is still located in the heart of the future battlefield in the deep mountain town, but it is far away from the location of the Matou and Tohsaka families, like a quiet place found amidst countless undercurrents.

Although he didn't know why Sakugetsu did this, Matou Kariya couldn't wait to get away from the Matou family.

"Here, take it." The brand-new notebook flew in a perfect parabola and landed in the hands of the flustered Yan Ye.

Yan Ye took it, and after subconsciously flipping through a few pages, her expression changed: "Hey! Shuo Yue, this is..."

"As you can see, I spent the whole night copying from the magic manual." Sakuyue was making Sakura giggle, and upon hearing this, she casually waved her hand and said, "It's not the insect magic you hate, but the Matou family's original water magic, and the imaginary number magic that Sakura needs."

Kariya tightened his grip on the notebook. There was no doubt that the notebook, which cost no more than a few hundred yen, contained priceless magical knowledge.

Although he still harbors aversion to magic, he is determined to reclaim the mysteries he once abandoned, both for the sake of the Matou family's survival and for Sakura's happiness.

"I will use magic later to connect the spiritual veins of this mansion with the Matou family." After playing around for a while, Sakuzuki stood up and stretched. "I don't need to say anything about the disguise afterwards. As for magic instruction... I'm sorry, I'm only a novice myself, so trust your comprehension, Kariya-san."

"How can you say that?" Yan Ye glanced at his cheap teacher with a resentful look, squatted down, and gently called to the girl, "Xiao Ying, that guy is busy with something. Come here to my side."

“Speaking of which, shouldn’t this child be named Matou Sakura?” Sakugetsu said meaningfully, causing Kariya, who was holding Sakura, to stiffen.

Matou, Matou Cherry Blossom

When his surname was placed on the name of his lover's daughter, even though Matou Kariya was prepared, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Although my life is destined to have nothing to do with Aoi... at least I can keep something to remember her by.

"Thud." Another notebook hit Kariya on the head.
