Sakura's voice grew softer and softer. Having grown up in the Tohsaka family since childhood, she had a deep impression of Kariya, since Kariya only returned to Fuyuki a handful of times each year.

Every time he returned to Fuyuki, he would bring a lot of gifts to visit his mother, Zenjou Aoi, and his older sister, Rin. Therefore, he had a very good impression of Kariya and regarded him as a close uncle.

Shen Qiu looked at Ying in front of him and sighed softly. At the beginning, Yan Ye was also very hostile to him, or rather, this man hated everything and everyone related to the demonic path.

However, after he nearly fainted from the pain of being bitten by the insects for the first time, he was briefly healed by water magic, and Kariya's attitude towards him gradually improved.

"Yes, of course everything will be fine, I assure you, Sakura."

"Ugh, I'm so angry! Ever since Qiu-gege came back, Ying, you always give him the best food, and you've completely forgotten about me."

Just then, a little boy with seaweed-like hair burst in.

This is none other than the seventh-year-old master—Shinji Matou. However, Shinji at this time is just a mischievous little boy at most, far from growing into the annoying person he will become in later years.

On the other side—the magic workshop located in the basement of the Matou family's residence.

"No, you're too weak, far too weak. How can you possibly participate in the Holy Grail War like this? If you leave the Matou family, you probably won't even survive the first day. You need to endure even more!"

Zang Yan leaned on his cane, and before him was a dense sea of ​​insects!

In order to prolong his life, he chose insect magic, a kind of evil magic that is almost like black magic. And in that sea of ​​insects, there is a "young man" with gray hair and a ferocious face - Matou Kariya.

Shen Qiu's arrival did not change the fate of this pitiful man. For Zouken, Shen Qiu was a precious pawn and could not be wasted in this Holy Grail War.

At least in Zouken's view, Shen Qiu, whose strength was only that of the eldest son, was not qualified to participate in this Holy Grail War.

He had already waited so long, he wouldn't mind waiting a little longer. As for Yan Ye, he was nothing more than a pitiful cannon fodder.

He smiled slightly as he watched Sakura and Shinji playing around in the library, but the laughter quickly faded. The Fourth Holy Grail War was about to begin, and today was the night of the Heroic Spirit Summoning!

He had spent more than half a year making ample preparations, and had asked Matou Tsuru to spend a lot of money to find relics from Northern Europe, as well as detailed information on the serial killer Ame no Oki Ryusuke.

Furthermore, with a thorough investigation of various areas of Fuyuki City and knowledge of the entire plot, I have already gained a significant advantage. The next step is to begin the first step of completing the main quest.

[Main Quest 1: Obtain the qualification to become a Master. Reward: 500 reward points]

He had already mastered the technique of extracting Command Seals, which was not difficult for him, given his proficiency in water magic. However, he had a vague feeling that something was off about this mission.

Such a simple task can earn 500 reward points? Did that giant egg guy lose his mind...? But then again, I still have something like that.

Shen Qiu touched the sea-blue bracelet on his right hand; it was a [Mystic Code] bestowed upon him by Zouken Matou.

【Mystic Code - Azure Wave Bracelet】This Mystic Code possesses three abilities:

It stores and restores magic, along with a fixed spell: Touch of Erosion. This is quite a powerful magical artifact. It can store 5 spells in advance, and casting them requires no chanting or mana consumption.

Wearing the bracelet allows for a rapid recovery of magic power. The Water Touch is a B-rank magic spell; anything with insufficient magic resistance will be quickly corroded after being infected by the Water Touch.

"That Zouken Matou guy is actually being unusually nice to me?" Shen Qiu smiled wryly and looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky before sighing.

The Holy Grail War is about to begin.

Chapter 5: The Night the Heroes Descend

"Kiritsugu, can such a simple ritual really summon a Heroic Spirit?" Irisviel looked at the magical pattern made of mercury in front of her with some concern.

"Don't worry, the summoning of Heroic Spirits is mainly carried out by the Holy Grail, and all I need to do is provide the Heroic Spirits with the magical power to sustain them in reality."

After finishing the last stroke of the design, the man before him stood up and spoke coldly. He was none other than the infamous Magician Killer—Emiya Kiritsugu, the man sealed away by the Mage's Association.

The Einzbern family, skilled in alchemy, is not suited for combat, which is the main reason why they were defeated three times in a row in the Holy Grail War.

Moreover, even though they illegally summoned another Servant named Avengs during the Third Holy Grail War, they still could not escape being defeated, and they never realized how serious the consequences of their illegal summoning were.

The Holy Grail is tainted.

Meanwhile, in the Tohsaka family's magic workshop, the same scene was continuing.

"With this relic, our Tohsaka family will surely become the relic of this Holy Grail War. Rest assured, Father. I will give you the reward you deserve."

Wearing a burgundy tuxedo, Tokitomi Tohsaka swirled the red wine in his wine glass and smiled as he spoke.

As the head of the Tohsaka family, he naturally took the lead in practicing the Tohsaka family motto—to always appear calm and elegant. Therefore, even after obtaining such a sacred relic, he remained calm and composed with a smile on his face.

"My son and the Holy Church will do their utmost to assist you."

In the woods near Fuyuki.

"Hmm, let me see, mercury... Is this enough? Wait, wait, oh no, I put in too much, what bad luck, I have to start all over again, wait, let me see what time it is?"

A handsome young man in a suit was engrossed in constructing a summoning pattern, but it seemed to be going poorly—

Things never went smoothly for Waver Velvet. He had originally planned to buy a chicken today to obtain blood, one of the materials for his summoning ritual, but unfortunately, he overestimated himself—

He didn't even dare to kill a chicken, thus wasting most of the day.

"What incredibly bad luck..."

Inside the top-tier luxury suite of the Hyatt Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Fuyuki City.

"You can only say that a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. Even though it's the most expensive hotel, the decor is unbearable. It's full of nouveau riche vibes."

Kenneth was quite dissatisfied with the hotel's decor. As the heir to the El-Melloi family, a top family in the magic world, he looked down on these worldly things to the core.

And standing before him was a beautiful red-haired woman. She was his fiancée, Sora.

"Kenneth, have you prepared all the materials for the summoning?"

“Of course, Sora. I used only the best materials, but…” Kenneth said resentfully, glancing at the relic on the table.

"If I ever find out who stole my sacred relic, I'll make sure they suffer a terrible death!"

Finally, the Matou family's underground workshop.

"Your strength is too weak, Kariya."

"As a magician, your magical skills are so poor that your Servants will inevitably be affected by you. Listen carefully, I am about to tell you a spell. When you summon a Heroic Spirit, if you add this spell to it, you will obtain a more powerful Servant than others, hehehe."

Zouken Matou said with a smile, but would he really be that kind?

"clang clang"

As the third chime of the bell arrived, it was one o'clock in the morning, theoretically the best time to summon a Heroic Spirit. Shen Qiu also arrived at the Matou family's magic workshop located underground.

"You've come, Qiu. It's good to see this for yourself. Although I've experienced this scene three times before, I'm still shocked every time I witness it with my own eyes."

Zang Yan didn't turn around to look at Shen Qiu who was walking over. Instead, he stared intently at the magic circle in front of him, which was getting brighter and brighter. At the same time, Yan Ye also shouted out a summoning incantation.

"Your body is under my command; my destiny is tied to your sword."

At the same time, the same scene was playing out at the Tohsaka family residence, the Einzbern family residence, the Hyatt Hotel, and the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

"Those who respond to the call of the Holy Grail and follow its will and truth, respond to me!"

“I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world, and I am the one who brings together all the evils in the world.”

"Seven days of being entangled in the three great spiritual words."

"It has clouded your eyes and made your mind rage. You are a prisoner bound by the chains of madness. I am the master who holds these chains."

"Appear beyond the wheel of suppression, guardian of the scales!"

As he recited the last line, Kariya was in excruciating pain. He felt every cell in his body groaning, but for Sakura... no, he had to do it, he had to persevere. Finally, he almost screamed out the last word.

A dazzling white light flashed, and a tall, jet-black knight stood in the center of the magic ritual. An ominous black aura emanated from him, and he roared from time to time.

Finally, Yan Ye could no longer bear it and knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Shen Qiu sighed, then went to Yan Ye's side to heal him. After seeing that the heroic spirit had been successfully summoned, Zouken sneered and turned to leave.

And the other side.

"Kirei, great! We won! We drew... the strongest card! The Holy Grail is ours this time!"

Looking at the glittering golden figures in the magical ritual, even Tokiomi Tohsaka couldn't help but burst into laughter. Perhaps the family's century-old wish was about to be realized through him.

"May I ask, are you my Master?"

"Germany," a blonde girl dressed in knight's attire asked a black-clad Japanese man with a cigar in his mouth.

"Lacer will dedicate all his strength to you, my lord, and bring you victory in this Holy Grail War." The handsome man named Diarmuid Ua Duibhne knelt on one knee facing Kenneth, completely unaware of the loving gaze in the eyes of the red-haired woman beside him.

"Hey, little guy, are you my master?"

Iskandar looked at Weber, who seemed to be stunned, and laughed loudly.

"Thank you, Aki. Do you think I can win this Holy Grail War?" Feeling the gentle power of water magic, Kariya gradually regained his strength, staring blankly at the motionless black knight in front of him.

"No, you can't win." Shen Qiu's tone was completely calm. He didn't deceive Yan Ye; there was no point in doing so.

"Is that so? I knew it. But if I lose, Sakura will be killed by that old monster. So, I can't lose. I have to win."

"You're too naive, Kariya. Do you think Zouken will let Sakura go after you win this Holy Grail War? You're ridiculously simple-minded."

Shen Qiu stood up, completely disregarding the self-esteem of the pitiful man in front of him, and mocked him.

Chapter Six: The Life of Rain and the Death of Ryusuke (Part 1)

Looking at the twelve-year-old boy in front of him, Matou Kariya felt that Matou Aki was acting completely out of character for a child of that age.

In his memory, Tong Qiu was taciturn and always silently obeyed the old monster. If it weren't for Qiu using water magic to heal his body every now and then, he would have even hated the boy in front of him.
