National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

His expression gradually turned to disgust.

After walking for a while, the wall on the right disappeared, revealing a huge, low-lying space in front of the two of them.

Hei Dai walked to the edge and looked down.

Pupils constricted sharply!

Sakura lay naked in a sea of ​​insects, her eyes lifeless, letting the disgusting Crest Bugs crawl all over her!

"Evil demon!"

Black Saber, holding the Void in her hand and gripping the Excalibur tightly, was about to jump in to save Sakura.

But at that moment!

"Hehehehe~ That's not a very nice thing to say, Saber~"

A chilling sound came from the stairs below.

Hei Dai and Wu Yue turned their heads and saw countless imprint insects crawling towards that spot, slowly transforming into an old man.

Bald, with limbs as thin as a mummy, a sharp glint in his deep-set eyes, a short, hunchbacked man—an oddball whose appearance and behavior were both unusual.

A foul, putrid smell emanated from the figure. He wore a kimono in a combination of ultramarine and dark gray, and carried a wooden cane.

Matou Zouken

"I didn't know you two had come here...—Hmm!—"

Before Zouken Matou could finish speaking, a hand was placed on his head!

"Holy Exorcism Magic." (Power)

Chapter 341 Thank you... thank you for saving me...

From Zouken Matou's perspective, he couldn't see how Wu Yue suddenly appeared in front of him.

One second they were standing on the steps above! The next second they were right in front of me! And they had their hands on my head!

Hei Dai, standing to the side, was also taken aback! Even she hadn't been able to clearly see Wu Yue's figure just now!

"Varied……?!"

"Holy Exorcism Magic".

Wu Yue calmly spoke, and the blue magic circle activated, causing colorful energy to begin to shine!

There was a flash of blue light.

Zouken Matou vanished from the spot, leaving only an empty set of clothes on the ground.

The exorcism was successful, and Zouken Matou completely disappeared from this world, leaving nothing behind.

Wu Yue turned and walked to the side, standing at the edge of the stairs. He stretched out his hand towards the sea of ​​insects below and used the exorcism magic once again.

Countless marking insects were also instantly exorcised and disappeared.

At the same time, the screen in the live broadcast room of the war of national destiny turned black.

Sakura was finally freed, but the gloomy expression on her face didn't change; she just lay quietly on the ground.

Stunned, wooden, broken, unable to think, unable to discern – this is Sakura's current mental state.

It was because of Matou Zouken that things became what they are now.

Wu Yue jumped in, landed next to Xiao Ying, took off his coat, half-squatted down, gently picked up Xiao Ying, put his coat on her, and held her in his arms, sharing his warmth.

There was a 10-year gap between the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars.

The current Xiaoying is different from the one Wu Yue last met; she is 10 years younger and is only 6 years old now.

"Who are you?"

Sakura slowly raised her head, looking at the woman holding her. Her eyes were vacant and lifeless, her senses sluggish, and she hadn't yet realized what was happening in front of her.

"It's alright now, Sakura, it's alright now."

Wu Yue began using healing magic on Xiaoying.

Hei Dai landed next to Wu Yue, just watching silently without saying a word.

The three left the basement and went to Sakura's room, where they dressed her again.

"Let's go."

Wu Yue extended his hand to Xiao Ying.

Xiaoying looked at Wu Yue, said nothing, but silently reached out and took his hand, following beside him.

And so she left the Matou mansion, leaving behind the place that had caused Sakura the most pain.

Live streaming has also resumed.

Matou Kariya had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time, his face full of anxiety and worry.

"How is it?! What happened...!"

Before Matou Kariya could finish speaking, she saw Sakura next to Wu Yue.

“Sakura… Sakura?! Thank goodness… You’re out… You’re really out… Thank goodness…”

Sakura's expression remained unchanged; she simply looked up at Matou Kariya in front of her.

Without realizing it, he tightened his grip on Wu Yue's hand.

In the middle of the night, Matou Karin squatted down and hugged Sakura tightly, crying loudly and breaking down in tears.

Sakura found liberation in front of herself, and in doing so, saved herself.

Matou Kariya cried like that for a long time.

…………

…………

"Thank you so much, thank you so much..."

In the coffee shop, Matou Kariya kept thanking Wu Yue.

Let's not talk about this for now.

Wu Yue interrupted Matou Kariya's thanks and asked.

Where do you plan to take Sakura next?

Kariya Matou paused for a moment, then looked at Sakura beside him and smiled.

"To be honest, I haven't thought it through yet, because everything happened so fast that I feel a bit dazed, like everything in front of me is unreal..."

"Sakura's future... Tokiomi Tohsaka is not a good person, at least not a good father to Sakura. I will never send Sakura back."

"I've had enough of living a carefree life. From now on, I'll focus on playing..."

"I think……"

Before Matou Kariya could finish speaking, Sakura suddenly interrupted her.

Sakura's facial expression was still listless, and her eyes were dull, but it was much better than before.

"I want to follow you..."

As Xiaoying spoke, she pointed at Wu Yue.

This gesture startled everyone present. Matou Kariya stared at Wu Yue, stunned for a full half minute.

Then he realized what was happening and gave a wry smile.

"Following you is at least better than being displaced and having to settle down with me. It would be a much better place for Sakura to settle down."

Wu Yue looked at Xiao Ying in front of him, and the two stared at each other.

"sure?"

"Um... thank you... thank you for saving me..."

Wu Yue reached out his hand to Xiao Ying, and Xiao Ying reached out and shook it.

2.0 "Thank you..."

Author's Note:

I haven't been feeling well for the past few days. I've been feeling depressed, and my body aches and I can't move.

Today, something finally went wrong. While chopping vegetables in the kitchen, everything suddenly went black.

When he came to his senses, he found himself lying on the ground, his nose bleeding, and a small crack had been cut under his nose, with blood all over the ground.

My chest feels tight, I can't breathe properly, and my right eyeball is also squeezed, making it painful to see.

My mind is a mess, I can't think of anything, sigh.
