Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"It's not the Illya of this world, but the Illya of another timeline. In that timeline, because I don't exist, Illya participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War as a Master."

"Nani!?"

Kiritsugu Emiya's eyes widened. He understood the meaning of "Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu." Participating in the Fifth Holy Grail War meant that Illya would be sacrificed as the Lesser Grail. In any case, Illya was doomed!

"Quick, tell me how to help her!"

When it comes to his daughter, even if it's in a different timeline, Kiritsugu Emiya is willing to offer his support.

"Then, come with me to that timeline!"

In front of Kiritsugu Emiya, the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu swung his dagger and slashed out a portal to the world of grown-up Rin Tohsaka.

The Fifth Holy Grail War is about to see the arrival of the Sixth Brothers!

325. Red A: Why are there two Kiritsugu in the Fifth World War?

Fuyuki City, ten years have passed since the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Rin Tohsaka, the current head of the Tohsaka family, was having an ordinary day. She went to school, scolded Shinji Matou for his habit of causing trouble for his junior classmates, watched Sakura Matou leave school, and then returned to the Tohsaka family home.

Ten years ago, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, Tokiomi Tohsaka, the head of the Tohsaka family, died. As a magician, Tokiomi Tohsaka ultimately failed to reach the end on his path of pursuing magic. Rin Tohsaka grew up under the care of Kirei Kotomine, her father's former apprentice. Following her father's guidance from childhood, as the new head of the Tohsaka family, she has always maintained elegance, and while being elegant, she also diligently practices magic and Bajiquan.

Although his father's disciple, Kirei Kotomine, always seemed like an annoying person, he did take good care of him and even taught him Bajiquan for self-defense.

Now, the other party has become the supervisor of the Fifth Holy Grail War, and today they even came to urge me to remember to summon a Servant tonight and then participate in the Holy Grail War.

"Seriously, is there any point in me participating in the Holy Grail War now?"

If her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, heard her say such things, he would probably scold her severely. Participating in the Holy Grail War, winning it, and obtaining the Holy Grail has always been the Tohsaka family's dream. Tokiomi Tohsaka even paid for it with his life. And she, as her father's daughter and the head of the Tohsaka family, was now thinking of not participating in the Holy Grail War.

"But my father probably never imagined that I would have such an experience."

A chat group that can communicate with all worlds, and even includes your childhood self—this is something I've never seen before.

According to legends in the magic world, Rin Tohsaka had considered that this might be related to the Magic Marshal of the Mage's Association, since that Magic Marshal was a Second Magician who could communicate with parallel worlds.

However, it was later discovered that it had nothing to do with that Demonic Marshal, because that Demonic Marshal should not be able to communicate with so many wondrous worlds.

Even the group leader later went to the world where he was a child and won the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Even though his own father couldn't win the Holy Grail War, the other side seemed to win very easily. How did they manage to do that? But the other side didn't tell him the specifics, so he didn't feel comfortable asking.

However, according to the news she received from her childhood self, her father and mother on the other side were both safe and sound. Although they lost the Holy Grail War, everyone was living well, and even Sakura was living well.

After the group leader won the Holy Grail War, he even obtained the formula for the Greater Grail and planned to share it with him.

"Forget it. As a member of the Tohsaka family, I have to rely on myself. Although I can directly obtain the formula for the Greater Grail, it won't be of much use even if I get the formula. After all, I don't have time to wait another sixty years."

Although Li Yue in the chat group said he could share the formula for the Greater Grail with her, Rin Tohsaka still chose to continue participating in the Holy Grail War because stigmata had appeared on the back of her hand, which meant that she had been chosen by the Holy Grail.

Moreover, she has been preparing for this Holy Grail War for a full ten years, and it's time for those ten years of preparation to come to an end.

At midnight, the perfect time, Rin Tohsaka arrived at the Tohsaka family's basement. Ten years ago, her father summoned that golden archer in the basement, and now she was using it to summon her own servant.

However, unlike her father ten years ago, Rin Tohsaka did not prepare any relics this time, or rather, she herself is the relic!

"With my abilities, I'm absolutely capable of summoning the strongest Saber!"

Confident Rin Tohsaka glanced at the wall clock, confirmed that it was midnight, and then extended her right hand to begin chanting.

Pure silver and iron. The great duke who made a pact with the cornerstone.

The surging winds were blocked by the four walls. The four doors were closed.

Release yourself from the crown and wander at the crossroads leading to the kingdom.

Fill it to the brim, fill it to the brim, fill it to the brim, fill it to the brim, fill it to the brim.

The cycle repeats itself, and then there are five; however, the moment of fullness is the moment of abandonment.

Announcement.

Your body is under my command, and my fate depends on your sword.

If you wish to follow the call of the Holy Grail, obey this intention, and act in accordance with this principle, then you should respond.

Make an oath here.

I am the one who has accomplished all the good deeds in the world.

I am the one who spreads all the evils in the world.

You are the seven days that the three great spirits of words have entangled you.

O guardian of Libra, who comes from the Wheel of Restraint!

As Rin Tohsaka chanted her impassioned incantation, a blinding light shone on the summoning circle, but after the light, there was no one inside the entire summoning circle.

"Where's my servant!?"

Rin Tohsaka stared wide-eyed at the empty summoning circle before her, completely stunned.

puff-

Suddenly, a noise came from upstairs. Rin Tohsaka snapped out of her daze and ran out of the basement. She found a white-haired man in red clothes lying on the sofa in the living room on the first floor. Above the sofa, there was a huge hole, indicating that the man had fallen from above.

"Hey, what's going on here?"

Rin Tohsaka looked at the white-haired man with a puzzled expression. The magical energy emanating from him indicated that he was no ordinary person.

"Could it be that you are a servant I summoned?"

"I should be the one saying that. You wouldn't happen to be the master who summoned me, would you? This is the first time I've been summoned so abruptly... Watch out!"

The white-haired man was about to retort to Rin Tohsaka, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly pounced on her, grabbed her, and rolled away to avoid her.

After he took Rin Tohsaka away, a bullet hole immediately appeared where Rin Tohsaka had been standing.

"What? What's going on?!"

Rin Tohsaka, who was suddenly taken away, looked at the white-haired man in surprise. She had no idea what was going on, only that something terrible seemed to have happened.

"There was an attack, and it was with guns!"

The white-haired man looked out the window and noticed a small hole in the glass; clearly, the bullet had come in from there.

"With a gun?"

Rin Tohsaka's eyes widened as well.

"Wait, shouldn't this be magic? Why are they using guns? That doesn't make sense, does it?"

Like Tokiomi Tohsaka, the naive Rin Tohsaka is a rather old-fashioned magician who knows absolutely nothing about modern products.

"Who told you that guns can't be used in the Holy Grail War?"

The white-haired man looked at Rin Tohsaka with disdain, making Rin feel very embarrassed.

"Shouldn't this be the default rule?"

"It's just that you acknowledge it, but others may not."

The white-haired man replied, then looked warily out the window. As an archer, his innate ability to see far and wide allowed him to see the patterns on the paving stones several kilometers away, but he did not see anyone outside.

This made him wonder, was there anyone in this Holy Grail War who used a gun?

Just as he was wondering, another bullet was fired from afar! This time he saw it!

"Torresion!"

A white scimitar appeared in his hand, and he slashed directly at the bullet with the blade. But to his utter astonishment, the bullet suddenly turned just as he was about to strike, perfectly dodging his blade, passing by him, and flying towards Rin Tohsaka behind him.

"Get out of the way!!"

The white-haired man shouted, trying to catch up with the bullet, but it was too late.

At the critical moment, a figure appeared in front of Rin Tohsaka, wielding a dagger to block the bullet.

Ding--

The bullet struck the dagger, then bounced off and fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The white-haired man breathed a sigh of relief.

What's going on? How come things are different from what I knew? Tohsaka was almost shot dead, thanks to this guy who suddenly appeared... Huh?

The white-haired man was stunned for a moment when he saw the man who had shielded Rin Tohsaka from the bullet.

A black trench coat, a cold expression, black, tousled hair, and somewhat lifeless eyes... this... this... isn't this Kiritsugu?

Why...why is Kiritsugu here? Wasn't he already...?

bang——

Gunshots rang out again, and the white-haired man quickly turned his head to look. He saw another bullet coming in from outside. He swung his knife again, but the result was the same as before. He missed again, and the bullet turned around and flew directly towards Rin Tohsaka behind him.

However, just like before, it was blocked by Kiritsugu Emiya with his dagger. It was as if his body suddenly accelerated, instantly blocking the bullet with his dagger, so that the bullet had no time to turn and had to fall to the ground due to the collision.

[Imperial Decree]!

The white-haired man understood how Kiritsugu Emiya had done it: he accelerated his own time, allowing him to perform actions faster than time itself, thus intercepting the bullet that could turn.

He really is Kiritsugu! He's not dead!

The white-haired man's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Hmph, you're still the same as always, choosing to save others instead."

Suddenly, voices came from outside the window. The white-haired man immediately turned his head to look, and then froze again.

With hair as pale as his own, a face as cold as someone else's, holding a pistol and a dagger, and a red shroud around his neck, another Kiritsugu Emiya!

No, the feeling the other party has is that of a Servant, a Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu who has become a Servant!

The white-haired man looked at the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu outside the window in shock, then looked at Emiya Kiritsugu inside the room, completely dumbfounded.

No, is this really happening during the Fifth Holy Grail War? Why are Kiritsugu and the Servant Kiritsugu appearing?!

The two Kiritsugu ignored the bewildered white-haired man and began their own conversation.

"I'm sorry, but I don't agree with achieving one's own goals by sacrificing others."

"Is that so? You still dream of making everyone happy and want to be a champion of justice?"

This sounds a bit like...

The white-haired man looked at the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu who had uttered those harsh words, and he suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu.

"That's right, I want to be a champion of justice!"
