In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

She felt she had been deceived, but she had no evidence.

Until she was just about to step down from the stage to teach Lo Wei a lesson. Or rather, to drag him up and wrestle with him.

Banknotes were continuously thrown up from below the stage.

That was a tip from the audience for her performance in this match.

Upon seeing these banknotes, Rin Tohsaka's initial rage seemed to subside.

She suddenly realized that this job didn't seem so bad.

At least it's quick to make money.

Thus, her idea of ​​dealing with Lo Wei was naturally put on hold for the time being, and she began to collect her share of the rewards that belonged to her on stage.

However, what she didn't know was...

Those tips just now were actually put up by Luo Wei.

Chapter 360 The Chaotic Situation

From any perspective, humans are actually the most violent race on this planet.

Other wild animals also kill, but they do so in order to hunt and obtain the food they need to survive. Humans are different.

Throughout history, the reasons for human battles have never been solely for hunting and survival, but more often for satisfying their own desires or for some kind of pleasure.

Going back further, it can even be traced back to the history of the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

The essence of today's boxing rings, wrestling arenas, and rings is the same; they've simply been replaced with a safer and more appropriate method and atmosphere.

So...

"Hey! This isn't what we agreed on! You actually brought me to a place like this!"

Having just finished the game of beating up kids, Rin Tohsaka found Luo Wei waiting for her near the locker room as soon as she stepped off the stage, and asked him in an extremely displeased tone.

"And what's with that ridiculously stupid nickname, 'Devil Muscle Rin'?!"

Rin Tohsaka grabbed Lovi by the collar and questioned him loudly.

"That's just a code name. After all, you're competing masked, you can't just reveal yourself, can you? And how is this different from what I said? Isn't this a quick way to make money?"

Luo Wei shook his head, then innocently replied to her, "Tell me, isn't it a quick way to make money? Women's combat sports are all legitimate competitions. Even if someone is really blind and tries to lay a hand on you, you're not so badly defeated. This job seems perfect for you no matter how you look at it, right?"

"Look, this way you can not only improve your physical fitness, but also gain practical experience. Although they are just ordinary people, each of them has a wrestling background. If you fight here for a while, you will not only get money, but also accumulate practical experience. Isn't this a win-win solution?"

Luo Wei spoke again, asking a question in return.

"What you said makes some sense, but..."

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka blinked.

For a moment, she actually felt that what Luo Wei said made some sense, but for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong, and she felt that Luo Wei seemed to be fooling her again.

Seeing her waver, Luo Wei continued to argue, comforting Rin Tohsaka.

"No buts. You're just afraid of being exposed, right? That's why I designed your character as a mysterious wrestler, the devilishly muscular Rin. I believe no one would imagine that the devilishly muscular Rin, who is so wild and domineering on the wrestling ring, is actually the young lady of the Tohsaka family."

"..."

Hearing Luo Wei's words, Rin Tohsaka couldn't find a reason to refute him for a moment. However, recalling the intense atmosphere and battle outside, the corners of her mouth still twitched uncontrollably, and she helplessly complained:

"No matter what you say, it's really going too far to make a weak woman like me wrestle!"

"A weak woman? That's really quite delicate..."

Hearing Rin Tohsaka's sarcastic remark, Luo Wei's expression became somewhat subtle, and he spoke up to remind her:

"Don't forget that you just knocked out a heavyweight who weighs almost twice your weight. I didn't see any weakness in you at all."

"—?!"

When Luo Wei brought up this matter, Rin Tohsaka, who had just lost her temper and smashed two of her opponent's ribs with a single punch, blushed instantly. She hurriedly began her final defense, loudly proclaiming:

"What does that have to do with me? It's because she's too weak. I didn't use any magic. She lost to me because she's not as skilled. It's absolutely not my fault, absolutely not!"

"See, aren't you enjoying this too?"

Seeing this, Luo Wei raised an eyebrow and then remarked, "Besides, you were quite engrossed in picking up the money just now."

"I'm not! Where did you get the idea that I'm happy... Hmm? What's this?!"

Rin Tohsaka was about to retort, but the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened as she saw that Lo Wei had taken out a stack of banknotes, which contained about 100,000 yen.

“This is your payment,” Rowe said.

Upon seeing the thick stack of banknotes, Rin Tohsaka was speechless. She swallowed hard, her expression one of disbelief. She asked incredulously:

"So much? I only beat up two people today, and I already have 100,000 yen?"

"Yes, otherwise why would I bring you to a place like this?"

"Now you shouldn't have any complaints, right?" Luo Wei said casually, then tossed the stack of money to Rin Tohsaka.

"Cough cough cough, how could there possibly be any more?"

Rin Tohsaka immediately changed her tone, and even the corners of her mouth changed completely. She took the money and happily counted it, not forgetting to answer as she did so.

"You're right, what's shameful about it? This is the result of my hard work, the product of my effort and sweat, so of course it's not shameful!"

"But... are there really that many?"

Even so, Rin Tohsaka also felt that there was something strange about it.

She remembered that it said that she would only receive 10,000 yen after each match, so how could there suddenly be so much?

"actually……"

Seeing that she had actually noticed the blind spot, Luo Wei didn't hide anything and directly told her that he had used Rin Tohsaka's last bit of pocket money to place a bet.

Because Rin Tohsaka was a newcomer and her opponent was the previous champion, the odds were quite high. He only bet less than 1,000 yen, and it doubled to more than 100,000 yen.

Upon hearing that Luo Wei had used the little money he had left to gamble, Rin Tohsaka was furious and was about to grab him and question him, but Luo Wei retorted with, "Don't you have any confidence in yourself?"

And since she had given all the money she won to herself, Rin Tohsaka could only awkwardly say, "This is the last time," and that was the end of it.

And upon learning of this, a sly glint flashed in her eyes.

Clearly, Rin Tohsaka had her own ideas at that moment.

Upon noticing this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Luo Wei's eyes.

Clearly, this guy is going to place bets on himself after having tasted success.

Although I am very confident in Rin Tohsaka's ability to suppress ordinary people, even at her worst, she will never lose to an ordinary person.

But I don't know why...

Seeing Rin Tohsaka looking so smug, or rather, dreaming, he had a feeling for some reason that something was bound to go wrong or fall apart later.

"Why are you staring at me like that all of a sudden?!"

Rin Tohsaka snorted coldly, then crossed her arms, turned her head away, and dared not meet Luo Wei's gaze again.

Clearly, this is a sign of a guilty conscience.

Without even thinking, Luo Wei could guess that his idea was absolutely correct.

Rin Tohsaka is planning to secretly place a bet herself.

But is there really no problem with this?

Logically speaking, she should make a fortune, even a huge profit, but given her greedy nature, she'll probably go all in every time.

If she falters at any crucial juncture, she will lose everything once again.

Although Luo Wei had no evidence yet, he had inexplicably come to this conclusion, having already seen through the truth of the matter.

only--

Looking at Rin Tohsaka on the other side, who was so happy that she couldn't hide her smugness and clearly wanted to make her fortune in this way, Luo Wei sighed.

Given her current situation, as long as she doesn't lose everything completely...

No matter what I say, she probably won't believe me, right?

Who cares?

This was her own choice.

Even if the expected situation does happen, wouldn't it be a good show for me?

Rin Tohsaka going bankrupt...

This is simply too good to be true.

……

"Well? Haven't you found Lord Luo Wei's location yet?"

"No, there's not a trace of it at all. That summoning circle transcends time and space!"

"What are we going to do? They vanished in an instant, without a single clue!"

In another world.

Chaldea is now in chaos. Although this is not the first time Chaldea has lost contact due to the temporary transfer of Masters, Chaldea still has no choice but to be anxious in this situation.

Because this time, it wasn't Fujimaru Ritsuka who was transferred away, but another truly powerful figure, who can be said to be the pillar of this world. Currently, all forces and Servants in Chaldea follow his lead. Now that he has suddenly disappeared, although the Mage's Association wouldn't be so foolish as to continue to provoke Chaldea's prestige, it has still suffered a huge impact, which may affect future plans.

Therefore, it can be said to be from top to bottom.

Whether they are Servants, magicians, researchers, or even the Adventors, they are all anxiously searching for any trace of Lovi's disappearance.

But that's not the main reason...

"Useless! That's why I say all of humanity is useless! Knowing full well that our King is humanity's savior, the only being who has saved human reason, and who just helped you resolve a new crisis, you not only lost your King, but you can't even find him! You should really continue to pursue our long-cherished wish!"

Roman looked at Getia, who was roaring behind him, with tears welling up in his eyes. He thought to himself, "Your real father is standing right in front of you and you don't even recognize him."

Aren't you the embodiment of seventy-two demon gods? How did you become so blind?
