Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

Even though this war is full of cruelty and bloodshed, even though Miyu has lost her past memories and is an anomaly summoned by the new moon.

For the rest of the time, the brother and sister remained silent, while the gentle sound of Kawasaki's engine carried them across the Fuyuki Bridge, eventually stopping in front of a Chinese-style mansion.

"Get off, Miyu." Holding her sister's hand, Sakuyue snapped her fingers, and the silver-green motorcycle gradually dissipated, turning into the most primordial magical particles that merged into the earth's veins.

"Where is this, brother?" Miyu curiously examined the doorway, which was so different from the surrounding architecture. After deactivating her magical girl transformation, she exuded an aura almost indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person. "Is this our home?"

"Home... well, I guess so?" Sakuyue thought for a moment and didn't deny it. "But there are other people living here. Besides an older man, there's also a little girl I rescued. Miyu, you'd better be prepared to make friends."

"Huh?" Miyu froze on the spot, then quickly panicked. "But, but, I..."

Before Meiyou could react, Shuoyue stepped forward, knocked symbolically on the door, unlocked the magic lock, and pushed the door open to enter.

He was met with an incredibly passionate slash!

"Clang!" The twin blades were thrust out, clashing with the kitchen knife filled with black energy. Both shattered. Shuoyue raised an eyebrow, looked at the knight in strange black armor in front of her, and instead of retreating, she advanced. The shattered Gan Jiang and Mo Xie swords reformed, transforming into ferocious feathered swords with flaring scales, and slashed down at the black knight.

"Boom!" The narrow entrance hall was shaken by the shockwaves from the clash. The Yin-Yang Greatsword hissed as it slashed toward the knight, only to be blocked by the knight's gauntlets, which he gripped tightly.

Sensing that control of the weapons was gradually falling into the opponent's hands, Shuoyue stepped forward, released her sword, and, not caring that both swords had fallen into the enemy's hands, slammed her shoulders together and slammed heavily into the knight's abdomen.

Amidst the trembling of his armor, the black knight staggered back several steps without even uttering a groan before twisting his waist and slashing his twin swords toward Shuoyue's neck and chest!

"Stop it!"

The man's reprimand came late, and upon hearing the Master's voice, the black knight's eyes, burning like flames, blazed red. In the end, he obediently lowered his hands, and the Gan Jiang and Mo Xie swords, stained with crimson patterns, clattered to the ground and dissipated into magic.

"Brother!" Only then did Miyu come to her senses and hurriedly ran behind Shuoyue, tightly clutching the hem of his clothes.

She never expected that her brother was not only so skilled in magic, but could even fight against Servants in close combat and once even suppressed them!

Shuoyue patted Meiyou's head, then looked past the black knight and at the two figures, one large and one small, behind him.

Matou Kariya, with three lines on his left hand and a complicated expression, and Matou Sakura, hiding timidly behind him.

A year later, the two grown men, each with a girl they wanted to protect, reunite in the entryway.

And the first thing they said upon reuniting was...

"Hey, isn't this Kariya? Haven't seen you for a few days, you've gotten so bloated?"

"roll!"

Chapter 28 Alliances and Imaginary Number Magic

With its four corners adorned with flying eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, and bright red Chinese lanterns, the beautiful tourists were filled with a sense of wonder.

But soon, she looked away and turned to the timid purple-haired little girl standing behind her. Remembering what Sakugetsu had said, she reached out her hand to Matou Sakura.

"Hello, my name is Miyu..."

On the table in the hall, the two men simultaneously looked away, exchanged a glance, and then looked at the back of each other's hands.

Three different red lines are depicted on it, the dark red color resembling the marks left by dried blood, giving it an unusual beauty.

Before a Servant is summoned, it is called a Stigmata; once the Servant arrives, it becomes a Command Seal with the power to forcibly command the Servant.

"Matou Kariya, the Master."

"The Master of the New Moon".

If this were done outside, people would probably think it was just childish chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). However, there was no joking tone in the two men's voices. Instead, they were seriously introducing themselves to their friends who were destined to become rivals.

"Servant - Berserker), I never expected you to still end up on this path, Kariya." Sakugetsu sighed.

The Holy Grail War's seven classes are relatively unique. This class grants the Servant the "Madness" class skill at the cost of stripping them of their own sanity, in exchange for the highest base stats among the seven classes. Judging from the Servant's stats alone, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest.

The two short incantations that Kariya added during his chant were to imbue the Servant with the "Berserk" skill, thus fulfilling the conditions for summoning.

In the original work, Zouken, in order to torment Kariya more, instigated Kariya, who was already living a life worse than death, to summon the Summoner, because it was the class that placed the greatest burden on the Master among the seven classes.

But now that Zouken is dead, no one will instigate Kariya to summon him. However, in order to defeat Tokiomi and for some unspoken thoughts, Kariya still made the same choice as before.

"Even with a year of training, my abilities as a magician are still far inferior to Tokiomi's. The Master's abilities affect the Servant's basic abilities. Since the Master is inferior to Tokiomi, the only solution is to work on the Servant."

Yan Ye's voice was resolute and contained an unwavering will. He took out an agate-like insect specimen and crushed it forcefully.

A rich flow of magic energy entered his body, restoring Yan Ye's strength.

The notes that Sakugetsu gave to Kariya not only contained water-attribute magic, but also insect magic, which was Matou Zouken's specialty.

The insect specimen that Yan Ye crushed at this moment was prepared in advance, and its only effect was to replenish the magician's own depleted magic power. Obviously, he intended to use this method to solve the problem of excessive consumption.

"Although most insect magic is disgusting, the feeling of crushing these insects is quite nice and very stress-relieving," Kariya chuckled, seemingly in a good mood as he joked.

“Is it worth it?” Shuoyue sighed. “Right now, you could raise Ying until she grows up without having to join this war.”

For Kariya, this was the best choice.

However, the man raised his hand, indicating that Shuoyue didn't need to say anything more.

“Did you know that two months ago, Tokiomi Tohsaka and Aoi visited the Matou family?” Kariya looked at Sakuzuki, his eyes burning with fire. “That man still maintained his damn elegance, and even deliberately prevented Aoi and Rin from getting close to Sakura because of the adoption issue.”

In Tokiomi's view, since Sakura had become a child of the Matou family, she was completely severed from the Tohsaka family and should not let past kinship ties affect her path of magic training. However, in Kariya's view, who was still a normal person at heart, Tokiomi's behavior was undoubtedly ruthless. Such an attitude not only hurt the young Sakura and Rin, but also almost made Aoi cry on the spot.

"Back then, I felt I wasn't capable of protecting Aoi, so I chose to run away. Aoi ultimately chose Tokiomi because of my incompetence, and I don't blame that guy for that." Kariya clenched his fist. "The reason I participated in the Holy Grail War was to let that bastard Tokiomi know that if he still sees magic as everything, then I'll give him a good wake-up call. To hell with elegance!"

"Tsk tsk... He really is an idiot." Shuoyue picked up her teacup and took a sip, not letting Yanye see the admiration in his eyes, but still didn't hold back, "A perfect backup plan."

"Hey! Are we still going to form an alliance?" Yan Ye slammed his fist on the table in embarrassment and anger. "Didn't you come here just to turn this place into a magic workshop, you little rascal?"

In the Holy Grail Wars of all time, the guilds would use magic to protect their bases from being attacked by other Servants. Obviously, Sakumoku had the same idea. As an old acquaintance, and with goals that did not conflict with each other, forming an alliance was a good option.

Moreover, the goal of the new moon is the Holy Grail, while the goal of Matou Kariya is merely to teach Tokiomi Tohsaka a lesson; their desires do not conflict.

but……

"Explain to me first, what happened to Matou Sakura?" Sakuzuki tapped the table and asked, "Why did her hair and pupils turn purple?"

Yes, if we were to say what the biggest change was between Kariya and Sakura this year, besides their progress in magic, it would be Sakura's appearance.

Her original black hair and blue eyes, inherited from the Tohsaka family, turned into a dreamlike purple—just like the color she was given when she was humiliated and forcibly transformed by magic in the original story.

If Sakuyue hadn't sensed that Sakura's condition and emotions were normal, she would have already drawn her large sword and started slashing.

“I was also puzzled at first.” Kariya did not hide anything from this. “On the day Sakura became an apprentice magician, her hair color gradually began to change. Later, based on the business card you gave me, I invited a magician named Melvin. According to him, it was the effect of practicing magic.”

"The influence of imaginary number magic..." Shuoyue pondered, her golden eyes reflecting the pale blue screen.

[Record requirements met, reward to be claimed]

Matou Sakura (childhood)

[Character Information]: One of the miracle "Original Stones" born from the Tohsaka family, possessing an extremely rare imaginary number attribute. In order to make use of his magical talent, he was adopted by his father to the Matou family. Now he is just a child who cannot use his willpower to face his cruel fate and does not yet understand the meaning of life.

[Hidden Information: What are you thinking? Although you were lovers in one timeline, she's just a child now!]

Recording conditions

1. Gain Sakura Matou's approval. (Completed)

Teach Matou Sakura Imaginary Number Magic. (Completed)

"So that's how it is, the hidden condition is this," Shuoyue murmured to herself.

The reward for fulfilling the first condition is a slight increase in magic power. So what about the hidden condition? The reward must be even more generous, right?

[Record condition 2 has been met, reward: "Access to Imaginary Number Magic"!]

As if struck by a sudden enlightenment, Shuoyue suddenly sensed the hidden magic of imaginary numbers and was able to invoke them at will.

As a fictional element, the "imaginary number" magic is extremely difficult to master, but once mastered, its power is widely recognized.

Having received the reward, Shuoyue didn't use it immediately. Instead, she clapped her hands vigorously and shouted, "It's getting late, girls, it's time to go to sleep!"

"Okay~~"

After washing up, the lights in the room were turned off, and the room quickly fell silent.

Shuoyue lay in bed, gazing at the moonlight, his eyes gleaming with gold. Only then did he connect with the Destiny Chart and make a decision he would regret for a long time:

"Come on, let me see what imaginary number magic really looks like..."

Chapter 29 The Shadow of Imaginary Numbers

Imaginary number magic is magic based on fictional elements. In magic, it is defined as "possible but not materializable," which is the opposite of the attribute "nothing." In other words, imaginary number magic is magic of possibility.

In Shuoyue's opinion, this is the most useful ability among imaginary number magic.

"Imaginary pocket".

As a short chant was uttered, invisible particles streaked across the void, peering into the emptiness within through the torn opening.

Shuoyue stared into the space that others couldn't see, casually tossed a water glass into it, waved her hand, and imaginary particles flowed through, as if zipping up the imaginary pocket.

Then, the tip of Shuoyue's fingertips glowed faintly.

"Displacement magic".

The first magic attempt failed, as the substitution magic could not reach the imaginary space. The second time, Sakugetsu simply substituted herself onto the Fuyuki Bridge.

A damp, even chilly, sea breeze caressed his face. The young man standing atop the bridge, his eyes gleaming with gold, reached into a non-existent concept and retrieved a perfectly intact water glass.

The tea in the cup rippled slightly, as if it had never entered that eternally silent space.

Those who possess the Imaginary Attribute have the ability to freely open Imaginary Space and place (seal) items or even creatures inside. Only those of the same attribute or who know how to open it can do so. Furthermore, the Imaginary Space has no concept of spacetime, making it an ideal place to exile enemies.

Before encountering a suitable enemy, the imaginary space is similar to a portable storage space for Shuoyue, and its storage capacity is almost infinite, which is much more useful than displacement magic.

Unlike displacement magic, imaginary pockets ignore space and time and can be communicated with by imaginary magicians at any time. The principle of displacement magic is to "displace" things to a safe place. However, once the magician leaves this world, or the place where the displacement is located is discovered or accidentally destroyed, the precious items preserved will be lost.

"Then, the second ability." Shuoyue closed his eyes. Even he had to be careful when using this ability.

Imaginary numbers sneak). "

As the imaginary particles flowed, Shuoyue's figure was gradually enveloped and sank into the imaginary space. To outsiders, Shuoyue's body flickered as if there was a signal malfunction. When it returned to normal, Shuoyue bent over and gasped for breath, still shaken.

"Huff, huff, huff... What's going on in the imaginary domain? The difficulty of proving this has increased significantly. Is someone interfering with this space?"

The voice just fell.

"Although I am interested in the entertainment of the court jesters, this uninvited bastard will only spoil the mood tonight."

A voice rang out unhurriedly, responding to Shuoyue's soliloquy. Its tone was more arrogant than that of Iskandar the Conqueror, and more ruthless than that of a lurking snake.
