Crossover Anime: Collecting Treasures from All Worlds Starting with Type-Moon

The world's foremost water magic expert, the renowned father of alchemy, Paracelsus's close friend, has fallen into a state of desperation to survive, using repulsive insect magic to prolong his life at any cost.

In the end, he even lost his humanity, and in another route of FSN, he didn't hesitate to transform Matou Sakura into a miniature Holy Grail in order to fulfill his own wish.

And then there's Matou Kariya, and Shinji, needless to say. But how exactly can one change their tragic fate? Shen Qiu fell into thought, and just as he pondered, a soft white light slowly enveloped him.

"My head... hurts a lot." That was Shen Qiu's first thought, but she quickly recovered.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself sleeping in the back seat of a stretched Lincoln sedan, and he looked like... a child of about twelve years old?

At the same time, a memory that did not belong to him was injected into his mind. After quickly digesting this memory, Shen Qiu couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

He's... a bastard son of the Matou family?

The identity that the main god assigned to him was the illegitimate son of Matou Tsuruya, the current head of the Matou family. Although the Matou family had declined in the magic world, it was still a major force in the secular world, owning a large number of properties and company shares.

To put it bluntly, although they are not as wealthy as the still prosperous Tohsaka family and Einzbern family, they are still the third largest family in Fuyuki City.

As the manager of the Matou family's secular businesses, Matou Tsuru also has to handle a lot of affairs and social engagements. After a certain party, he had a relationship with a socialite.

Knowing full well the perilous state of his family, Matou Tsuru concealed the truth and sent him and the socialite to live in Tokyo. However, something unexpected happened—

Five days ago, Matou Tsuru also went to Tokyo to discuss a business deal and visit him on the side.

His own "Mystic Eye" activated. Matou Tsuru sighed as he looked at himself with one Sharingan open. Although he had no magical talent whatsoever, he still understood the basics of the magic world.

A natural "magic eye" would undoubtedly attract the covetous eyes of countless magicians. In the cruel world of magic, it is commonplace for people to kill and steal a magic eye, as the saying goes, "A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure."

Moreover, this also means that Matou Tsuru's dream of living his life as an ordinary person has been shattered. Whether he likes it or not, he will inevitably step into the mystical side after awakening his Mystic Eyes.

Rather than being completely clueless and at the mercy of others when the time comes, it's better to let him learn more about this now—this is the only solution that Matou Tsuru, as a father, can think of.

"Are you awake, Qiu?"

"In another half hour we will enter the territory of Fuyuki. This is your hometown, and you will live here for a long time to learn magic from your grandfather."

"Grandfather has a strange temper and is not easy to get along with. You must always be careful about your words and actions, do you understand?"

Upon hearing the sound from the back seat, Matou Tsuru, who was reading a newspaper in the front seat, turned around and explained the Matou family rules to Shen Qiu—whose name in this world was Matou Qiu—word by word.

This shows just how deep a shadow this nominal grandfather, who was actually the ancestor of the Matou family, had left on his heart.

Chapter Three: Water Magic

Shen Qiu didn't speak, but just quietly watched the scenery rushing past the car window. It was 1993, and there were still about half a year before the start of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

The Masters of the Fourth Holy Grail War are all formidable opponents, possessing immense power.

Kiritsugu Emiya, known as the "Magician Killer".

Kenneth, the head of the Archibald family and the monarch of the Mineral Division, one of the Twelve Lords of the Clock Tower. Tokiomi Tohsaka, the head of the Tohsaka family, and Kirei Kotomine, an agent of the Holy Church capable of fighting Heroic Spirits, are all troublesome figures for him.

However, there are two people who could be targeted: Caster's Master in the original story, the first Master to be eliminated in the Holy Grail War, and Ryusuke Ame no Iku, a murderer who was also an ordinary person.

This person is at most only slightly stronger than an ordinary person, someone who should be easy for me to handle, and I will obtain my Master status from this person without any surprises.

The other person was Kenneth's student, Waver Velvet, who stole his relic and had poor magical talent.

In Shen Qiu's opinion, if it weren't for Iskandar, the Conqueror King summoned by Waver, being one of the top Servants, capable of going toe-to-toe with Gilgamesh, who was at the pinnacle of Servants, he might not have even survived the first three days of the Holy Grail War.

However, given the Conqueror King's personality, forming alliances would be very difficult. But all he has to do is survive this Holy Grail War, so some lies and schemes are bound to be necessary.

Amidst Shen Qiu's myriad thoughts, they arrived at the Matou family residence.

This is a German-style Western villa. The name Matou is a transliteration of the surname Matou Zouken's original name, "Matou Zouken". The original Matou Zouken family was German.

He traveled across the ocean to Japan in order to create the Holy Grail system.

After moving the family to Japan, the Machiri family inevitably declined, and by this generation, not even a single person with magical talent had appeared. That is why Matou Sakura was adopted to inherit the family business.

"Tsuru, you've really kept something from me. I never imagined you'd let the Matou family's treasure slip away like this."

Under Shen Qiu's watchful gaze, a dark-skinned, gaunt old man slowly walked out of the Matou family's house, leaning on a cane. His voice was hoarse and grating, like a phonograph that had been broken for a long time.

As he appeared, Shen Qiu's "father," Matou Tsuru, the apparent head of the Matou family, began to tremble violently, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

“Yes, I’m sorry, Father. I was just thinking that what I did had disgraced the Matou family. I was afraid of bringing shame to the Matou family, so I took it upon myself to send Aki to Tokyo.”

Crane knelt down on the ground with both legs thudding, his hands in the dogeza posture—no wonder he was so afraid. Although time had eroded most of his power, the person in front of him was still a great magician who had lived for five hundred years and was one of the most outstanding magicians in the world!

Even Shen Qiu felt immense pressure in his presence. Although he had prepared himself, he could still feel the mountain-like pressure when facing the real person.

"Hehehe, I never expected that the Matou family's magician bloodline would end. I never expected that Tsuruya, that good-for-nothing, would have such an outstanding son."

"Qiu, come in with me first. He, you go and deal with the worldly matters."

Zouken Matou glanced at Shen Qiu before turning and walking into the dimly lit villa, with Shen Qiu quickly following behind.

For some reason, it seems that whenever Zouken Matou is around, there is always a smell of decay and decay.

Shen Qiu guessed that it might be the smell of the "insects" that Matou Zouken used to construct his body. After all, in the FSN movie, he once said, "Look at my body, it's rotting every moment."

Immortality had become an obsession for him that he could not suppress.

"Our Matou family is a great family of magicians with a long history. We were once the leading magic family in Germany. We specialize in water magic that controls and separates things. Your magic attributes... indeed, water and wind. The perfect Matou bloodline, it's really exciting."

Interestingly, Zouken Matou, who is fierce in front of Tsuruya, does not show that side of himself in front of her. Instead, he is like a kind old grandfather. In the original work, Sakura Matou also said that he "occasionally shows a kind side."

Witnessing the decline of his family was an extremely painful experience for him, which is why he behaved very differently when he saw Shen Qiu.

As he followed Zouken Matou up to the second floor, he suddenly heard some television sounds. After thinking for a moment, Shen Qiu began to control his chakra.

Sharingan, activate.

The scarlet magatama slowly rotated in his right eye, and he saw what he wanted to see.

At the end of the second-floor corridor, a door was half-open. With the Sharingan's powerful perception, he saw what he wanted to see. Sure enough, it was Matou Sakura and Matou Shinji watching a TV program together.

Judging from her expression, Sakura doesn't seem to have accepted Zouken's insect modification yet.

"Is it because of my arrival...?" Indeed, for Zouken, it was better to choose his own bloodline from the Matou family than to painstakingly transform Sakura into a body suitable for water magic, since he was born with the water attribute.

"Is this your Mystic Eyes? Those are your younger brother and sister, Shinji and Sakura." Zouken explained, seemingly guessing what Aki was thinking. However, he didn't stop walking and led Aki towards the Matou family library on the third floor.

"It looks like a Mystic Eye of Insight. Although it's innate, its quality isn't high. It might not even reach the Gold level. Remember, don't open your Mystic Eye in front of strangers, including your younger siblings."

Zouken pushed open the door to the Matou family library with a blank expression. This library contained the essence of all the magic of the Matou family over the past five hundred years, and in the past twenty years, Aki was the first person besides Zouken to step through this door.

After all, for a magician's family, money is secondary; only two things are most important: the magic books passed down through generations and the magician's mark.

"I will follow my grandfather's teachings," Shen Qiu replied obediently.

"Starting today, you will learn water magic from me, get up at 6:30 every morning and rest at 9:00 at night."

"Compared to the heirs of those traditional magician families, you've fallen far behind. Hmm... let me see. Twenty main magic circuits, eight secondary magic circuits, a total of twenty-eight. Once you've matured, these magic circuits will be enough for you to use grand magic spells except for the [Ritual Spell] level."

Chapter Four: Prelude to the Holy Grail War

"Ah, ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much! Ahhhhhh!!!"

Even while reading in the library on the third floor, Shen Qiu could still hear the screams coming from the basement of the Matou family villa.

The owner of that voice was none other than his own uncle in this world, the original head of the Matou family—Matou Kariya. This rebellious "demonic son."

Although the Matou family's magical bloodline has been severed, Kariya still possesses a few scattered magical circuits.

However, this stubborn young man sarcastically rejected Zouken's request to inherit the Matou family's magic tradition back then, and turned away from Fuyuki City to pursue the life he wanted.

But reality played another cruel joke on him.

Using Matou Sakura as leverage, Zouken forced Kariya to return six months prior to undergo Zouken's "magician transformation."

Thousands upon thousands of insects gnawed at Zouken's young body again and again, making the now thirty-something-year-old Zouken look like a frail old man in his fifties or sixties.

However, Shen Qiu knew that all of this was just the old bug's twisted sense of humor; he wanted his son to experience the pain of betrayal.

Shen Qiu closed the book "Controlling the Form Changes of Water Magic" in front of him. He couldn't help it; the constant screams coming from the basement made it impossible for him to concentrate on studying.

As he thought about it, he raised his hand, and soon a water ball appeared in his hand—this basic magic trick didn't require him to chant.

The essence of magic is to extract magical power from nature for one's own use, and the concept of magic came into being with the help of the "magic foundation" created by King Solomon.

The incantations chanted when performing magic can be seen as a bridge, connecting the magic foundation, magic power, and the magician, allowing the miracle of magic to be revealed.

As Shen Qiu pondered, a thought flashed through his mind, and the water ball in his hand instantly transformed into a suspended, sharp water blade!

"Is this the essence of water magic? If we're going by the standards of the Clock Tower, I should be considered the eldest son, having studied magic for half a year."

As Shen Qiu pondered this, he waved his hand, and the incredibly sharp water blade that had been suspended in the air vanished.

"Brother Qiu, I... I made egg tarts, would you like some?"

Just as Shen Qiu was pondering, a small figure clumsily walked in carrying a stack of egg tarts. It was because of his arrival that Matou Sakura's fate was temporarily spared the tragic one in the original story.

"Thank you, Sakura, but didn't I tell you not to touch the oven? That thing is very dangerous. If something happens and you get hurt, I'll feel guilty for a long time."

Shen Qiu took the egg tart from Ying's hand and affectionately patted Ying's head. Ying, who was only six years old at the time, already had the demeanor of a wife from a future generation.

"Brother Qiu." Sakura smiled and then lowered her head.

"Uncle Yanye will be alright, right? Brother Qiu said he would find a way to help Uncle Yanye."
