Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

[Detected the presence of a protected target]

[Enter standby mode]

The crimson glow gradually dimmed, and the black knight turned and disappeared back into the dark courtyard.

Although the Servants of the class are stripped of their sanity, their near-beast-like minds also make their thinking linear.

They would naturally not harm any creatures related to their Master.

Little did she know that Rin, who had quietly escaped a disaster, was guided by the Shadow Familiar to sneak into the house and hide behind a corner near the living room.

In the dimly lit living room, two figures, one tall and one short, sat facing each other. Sakura looked at Kariya with some concern, while Kariya maintained his somber expression.

The warm light divided Yan Ye's face into two parts, one side illuminated by the light and the other shrouded in dark shadow.

"Sakura, what do you think...? Should I try to win the Holy Grail?"

Holy Grail!

Rin Tohsaka, hiding in the shadows, covered her mouth and stared wide-eyed.

Isn't that what your father was also pursuing?

If Uncle Kariya also participated in this war, it would mean...

They will inevitably fight each other.

Lost in his own thoughts, Kariya paid no attention to his surroundings and was unaware that someone was eavesdropping. He simply poured out his inner unease to his most beloved child, Matou Sakura, who was more like a daughter than a daughter to him.

"My initial reason for participating in the Holy Grail War was to make Tokiomi Tohsaka pay the price and let him know that there are things more important than magic. Tokiomi Tohsaka's goal is the Holy Grail, so my goal is simple—just to stop Tokiomi Tohsaka."

"However, rather than causing trouble for Tokiomi Tohsaka, what I want to do is defeat him and seize the Holy Grail... Isn't that ridiculous? Although the new moon has repeatedly warned that the Holy Grail is problematic, I still hold onto this unrealistic hope."

At this point, Matou Kariya closed his eyes in pain, his voice sounding like a dream.

"If I had realized my mistake sooner back then and... then perhaps I wouldn't have had to give up on Aoi and run away like a stray dog. Perhaps fate would have led to a different, more perfect ending..."

"If only the Holy Grail could grant me this wish..."

Sakura didn't speak, but a childish but angry voice rang out behind Kariya.

"What are you doing, Uncle Kariya!"

"cold?!"

In the original story, Rin Tohsaka was so frightened by the sea monster that she fainted as soon as she arrived in Fuyuki, and was eventually rescued by Kariya; while in the anime, our resourceful and brave Rin not only destroyed Ryunosuke's hypnotic bracelet, but also rescued her friend Kotone... One is reality, the other is fantasy, so choose whichever you prefer.

Chapter 113 Kariya's Resolve

Seeing the furious Rin Tohsaka, Kariya was genuinely startled.

"Rin, why are you here..."

Is this some little trick played by the new moon?

"I'm the one asking you that, Uncle Kariya!" The girl with pigtails put her hands on her hips, her angry expression just like her mother's. "Why did you participate in the Holy Grail War? Uncle should know, right? Dad decided to pursue the Holy Grail a long time ago!"

"If you participate too, doesn't that mean... one of you will inevitably get hurt?!"

It wasn't just anger stemming from worry about his father, but rather panic caused by the realization that loved ones would kill each other, which ultimately manifested as questioning.

Knowing Rin's personality well, Kariya understood this, so he wasn't angry, but instead shook his head with a wry smile:

"You're still young and don't understand the hidden story, Rin."

"Then tell me! I'm not a child anymore, I'm a magician too!"

“Magician…” A slight pang of pain shot through his heart. Yan Ye lowered his eyes and tried to come up with a way to gloss over the situation when suddenly his clothes were tugged.

Lowering her head, Sakura, with her purple hair and purple eyes, clutched the hem of his clothes and whispered:

"Uncle, you should tell my sister instead."

"But you..."

"I'm fine." The girl shook her head and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

“It’s all in the past, Uncle.”

Yes, that filthy darkness is a thing of the past, and everything is moving towards the light.

Although Sakura has been communicating with Rin through her familiar, she has never mentioned the sordid past. This is partly because she doesn't want her sister to worry, and partly because she is worried that her biological father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, will forcibly take her away from the Matou family if he finds out.

But now, the time has come.

After a moment of silence, Yan Ye finally stopped avoiding Lin's piercing gaze and said in a deep voice:

“Rin, I’m not stopping your father, I’m stopping Tokiomi Tohsaka, not out of a sense of righteousness, nor out of personal selfishness—my goal is to make him realize that magic isn’t everything to him, that there are more important things he should protect.”

"You know this, right? A year ago, he adopted Sakura into the Matou family so that she could inherit our magic crest."

Hearing this, Rin Tohsaka looked away somewhat guiltily, glancing quickly at Sakura Matou, but still didn't hold back: "Well, isn't that something both families are willing to do? Besides, you'd be happy to have Sakura as your child, Uncle..."

"Yes, I'm very happy. I'm so glad Sakura came to the Matou family!" Kariya suddenly raised his voice, startling Rin.

But Kariya had no mind to care about Rin anymore. Even though so much time had passed, the various emotions that filled his heart when he brought it up still threatened to burst his chest.

"But that's who I am now, you know? It's who I am now, after that old man died, and I've started a new life, Rin!"

"Tokiomi Tohsaka, that damned man... He knows nothing about the Matou family's inner workings. Does he still think the Matou family is his former ally? Is he still practicing orthodox water magic? Is he still proud to be a magician?!"

"No, no, not at all! A year ago, the Matou family only had a patriarch who would stop at nothing to stay alive, only filthy insect magic, and a house filled with the smell of decay! That was hell, a hell so rotten that I didn't even dare to go home!"

"Do you know, Rin? A year ago, it was your dear father who handed Sakura over to Zouken Matou, to that old insect who has survived to this day, and personally threw her into the hellish insect pit!"

"If it weren't for Sakuyue's help, your sister would be gone by now. Even if she were alive, she would just be a walking corpse... That bastard Tokiomi Tohsaka almost killed his own daughter!"

Even though she tried her best to suppress it, Kariya's words still sounded like a roar. Rin Tohsaka had never seen Uncle Kariya so out of control. Still just a child, she stood there stunned, caught between her long-standing admiration for her father and the conflict brought about by Kariya's words.

how come……

The greatest, most outstanding, and gentlest adult she knew, the flawless father she was so proud of, had actually done something so irreversible...?

Sakura, she actually fell into such a fate...?

No, that's impossible, it must be a lie... Her father just doesn't know, yes, he just doesn't know!

My father simply didn't know the true nature of the Matou family!

This is not the father's fault!

Lost in her confusion, Rin Tohsaka was unaware that her murmured words of defense for Tokiomi Tohsaka were overheard by Kariya and Sakura Matou.

Matou Kariya's expression shifted from furious to incredulous, finally settling on a cold and resolute look.

"Sakura, it's getting late, you should go back to sleep."

“Okay, okay, Uncle Kariya…” Sakura murmured, glancing at him and her sister with some concern, but still obediently returned to her room.

So, in the dimly lit living room, only Matou Kariya and Tohsaka Rin remained.

Staring at the dejected Rin Tohsaka, a fleeting tenderness flashed in Kariya's eyes before he reached out and drew a magic circuit in the air.

Ah... I understand now, I finally understand, Rin.

"Uncle Kariya, you..." Sensing the fluctuations of the magic, Rin Tohsaka barely managed to perk up, but upon seeing the runes drawn by Kariya, a surge of drowsiness immediately enveloped her, causing her to sway and fall to one side.

Yan Ye stepped forward and gently embraced her, his free left hand continuing to draw new marks.

Those are runes of oblivion, used to seal memories.

"Sleep, Rin, and then, forget all of this..." Kariya murmured to himself.

Forget about what happened tonight, at least until the Holy Grail War is over.

Because I—I must kill Tokiomi and seize the Holy Grail.

. "

The Black Knight appeared behind Kariya, picked up the sleeping Rin, and then disappeared.

Yan Ye stood up, the dim light shining on his face, illuminating his tightly pursed lips and his eyes full of obsession.

Tokiomi Tohsaka, if you continue to exist, you will lead Rin Tohsaka down the wrong path, ultimately causing her to defy common sense of good and evil, and thus end up like you, a cold-blooded magician.

You once told me that you did all this for your beloved daughter, and that even if Sakura and Rin killed each other for the sake of the demonic path, you would only be happy for it... Hmph, laughable, utterly laughable!

Are you doing this for your daughter, or for the magician path you expect them to take?

Your educational philosophy is distorted, Tokiomi, so I must stop you, I absolutely must stop you!

As he made up his mind, Matou Kariya gazed at the distant starry sky, his tense face slowly relaxing.

Aoi must have discovered Rin's disappearance and is rushing here anxiously, right?

Zenjou Aoi, the one I love so deeply to this day...

If I win, laugh heartily; but if I lose, don't cry for me.

All of this is my own fault. I'm just a despicable person struggling to find a way to undo my mistakes... even if what I end up with is poison.

As for the new moon.

Matou Kariya was no longer confused. He remembered the young man's farewell during the day and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"So you had already considered this possibility... You're frighteningly clever, you little rascal."

He turned around and walked towards his bedroom.

"Fine, I won't get involved tonight. I'll just survive the other Servants' attacks, Sakuzuki."

"If you fall behind, don't blame me for kicking you when you're down!"

As the last ray of light in the room faded away, the shadows hidden in the darkness trembled slightly, as if something had been removed and a piece of it was missing.

Chapter 114 Fishing Guy Never Air Force

When the messenger arrived at Shuoyue, he was in an empty park, as if waiting for something.

"I see, Rin sneaked in here?" After hearing Hyakko's report, Sakugetsu wasn't too surprised, but she was slightly taken aback by the unexpected turn of events with Rin Tohsaka. "I thought it would be Sakura who made Kariya make up his mind... Not coming to stop me tonight? Heh, you're all talk, are you just afraid of getting beaten up by me?"

Before the bowed-headed servants, the golden-eyed youth revealed a confident smile.

"However, I really didn't expect Kariya to want to pursue the Holy Grail, even though I've said so many times that the Holy Grail is problematic... Sigh, is it true that as long as one has desires, one cannot escape the temptation of the Holy Grail?"
