The shuttle in the second dimension

　"Ah, I thought they would let me stay here and participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War as a Master ten years later."

　The cold electronic sound rang out again.

　"Tip: This method will waste a lot of time and will not significantly improve the host's strength, so it will not be used."

　"Really? Indeed, ten years is a long time. Although I really want to accompany Sakura, it's really not possible." Lin Xuan said helplessly, leaning against the wall.

　"Then spend the next few days with her and try to help her get out of this situation."

　"So, where should I take Sakura to play tomorrow?"

　·····

　When Xiaoying and Yanye were still asleep, Lin Xuan made three breakfasts, then sat quietly at the dining table, waiting for them.

　The breakfast Lin Xuan made was very simple: a fried egg, red bean porridge, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of tofu with green onions. It was very light.

　Of course, you can ask Lin Xuan to make some other more complicated breakfasts. Haha, don’t take it as a joke, he is not the kind of person who can do all the housework. It is already very good that he can make some delicious side dishes.

　Soon, Xiaoying and Kariya woke up one after another. After they washed up, they were stunned when they saw the breakfast on the table.

　"Sakura is awake - come on, sit here." After seeing Sakura, Lin Xuan smiled and patted the seat next to him, motioning Sakura to come over. As for Yan Ye, Lin Xuan simply ignored him.

　"Hey, hey——Berserker, you are deliberately ignoring me, right?" Kariya said angrily, twitching his eyes.

　"Ah, Master, you're here! I didn't see you earlier. Sorry~~~~~~~" Lin Xuan casually waved to Kariya and began to serve a bowl of red bean porridge to Xiaoying, leaving Kariya standing nearby with a frown on his face.

　"Try it——" Lin Xuan said with a smile as he placed the porridge in front of Xiaoying.

　"Were all these made by big brother?" Sakura asked with some confusion, tilting her cute little head.

　"Well, I did it all, Sakura~~" Lin Xuan responded after touching Sakura's little head.

　After taking a bite, Xiaoying looked at Lin Xuan again and said, "It's delicious————"

　Although the tone was still so lifeless, Lin Xuan could already hear some life in it, which made Lin Xuan feel a lot better.

　"Then eat more————" Lin Xuan said with a smile, patting Xiaoying's cute little head gently as if doting.

　"kindness----"

　······

　"Hey, master, I'll leave the dishes to you. I'll take Sakura out to play first~~~~~~Bye-bye————" After Sakura finished her meal, Lin Xuan left these words and took Sakura away, leaving Yan Ye alone.

　"Berserker!!!!!"

　And there was also the roar of Kariya.

　····

　"Hey, Sakura, is there any place you want to go?" Lin Xuan asked with a smile, holding Sakura's soft and boneless little hand.

　But the answer he got was Sakura's shaking little head.

　"Is that so————" Looking at Xiaoying's expressionless face, Lin Xuan felt a little distressed. Although he had said that he would take Xiaoying out for a walk and had thought about it for a long time yesterday, after they really went out, Lin Xuan discovered a fatal problem. He was not familiar with this city!!!

　Sighing helplessly, Lin Xuan felt that he could only take things one step at a time.

　Lin Xuan smiled and said to Xiaoying, "Then let's go——"

　In this way, two figures, one big and one small, walked slowly on the street.

　···

　"Ah——" Holding a piece of takoyaki, Lin Xuan picked up a piece with a toothpick and put it in front of Xiaoying's mouth, motioning her to open her mouth.

　Xiaoying didn't resist Lin Xuan's feeding. She slightly opened her small mouth and took the takoyaki into her mouth, chewing it carefully. However, the takoyaki was perhaps a little too big for Xiaoying, making her whole little face look plump and adorable. Lin Xuan almost couldn't help but want to hold her in his arms.

　"Come on, have another one, ah——" After Sakura swallowed the takoyaki, Lin Xuan gave her another one, and then Sakura's little face, which had just returned to normal, swelled up again.

　After feeding Sakura, Lin Xuan suddenly found some sauce at the corner of Sakura's mouth.

　"Hmm————It got on the corner of my mouth————"

　He took out a tissue from his bracelet and gently wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth. Then he habitually touched her cute little head and smiled.

　"Okay, now that it's clean, let's go and have a look somewhere else——" After saying that, regardless of whether Xiaoying agreed or not, Lin Xuan took Xiaoying's hand and took her to continue shopping.

　When Lin Xuan didn't notice, a strange look flashed in Xiaoying's empty eyes, but it disappeared immediately, making people doubt whether it had appeared.

Chapter 17: First Encounter with Caster

　"Are you asleep?" Looking at Xiaoying who was sleeping leaning on the recliner, Lin Xuan looked at her gently and said in a low voice.

　Putting down the snacks in his hand, Lin Xuan gently picked up Xiaoying. Lin Xuan's movements were very gentle, for fear of waking Xiaoying up.

　Gently pushing aside Sakura's hair and looking at her cute sleeping face, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and smiled without saying a word.

　Holding Xiaoying, Lin Xuan took light steps and walked slowly towards the Matou house.

　·····

　After covering Xiaoying with the quilt, Lin Xuan quietly left the room and saw Yan Ye waiting for him in the corridor.

　"Hey—Berserker, honestly, thank you so much." Leaning quietly against the wall, Kariya raised his head and continued. "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what kind of torture Sakura would have endured by that old man—"

　"Nothing————" Lin Xuan replied calmly, and slowly walked past Yan Ye. "As long as you take good care of Xiaoying, it will be the greatest reward for me————"

　"I will—I will—I..." Standing in the corridor, Kariya kept repeating this sentence.

　Walking slowly down the corridor, Lin Xuan's face was expressionless. "It's almost there. Caster should have invaded the Einzbern castle and is almost fighting Saber. Do you want to go take a look?"

　After saying that, Lin Xuan stopped and looked in the direction of the Einzbern castle. Although Lin Xuan was not familiar with this city, he still wanted to know the address of the three royal families in this city.

　"Forget it, let's go and take a look, and ask Saber to help her out." With a slight smile, Lin Xuan turned into the wind and left.

　····

　About thirty kilometers west of Fuyuki City, a national highway traverses the sparsely populated mountains. On either side of the highway lies a dense forest, seemingly forgotten and undeveloped.

　There is a legend in this area that there is a "mythical city" in this forest.

　Of course, this kind of ghost story isn't widely believed. This forest is undeveloped, and it only takes about an hour to get here by car from Fuyuki City. If such a "mythical city" really existed, it would have been discovered long ago. In the past, many land surveys have been conducted here, but without exception, no trace of artificial structures has been found.

　But for some reason, every few years, someone would talk about the legend again, like a cycle.

　But there are very few magicians who know that the "mythical city" really exists.

　This castle is visited by the castle owner who comes to participate in the Holy Grail War every sixty years, and the so-called "Mythical City" is nothing more than a magic castle.

　As for why such a castle existed in this forest, undiscovered, it was because it was shrouded in layers of illusion and magical enchantment, remaining hidden except by chance. This was a strange space, and those who knew the truth about this forest called it the "Einzbern Forest."

　The Einzbern family, one of the three great families, moved all of their original castles to this forest.

　And tonight, the castle welcomed several uninvited guests.

　····

　Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up somewhere in the forest, and then the wind began to gather, gradually forming a figure. Soon, the figure became clear. It was Lin Xuan who rushed over from the Matou residence.

　He was in this strange land, and Lin Xuan looked around.

　"By the way, where is Caster?" As soon as the words fell, the energy around Lin Xuan spread out. Not long after, Lin Xuan got the news he wanted.

　"I found you————Caster!!" After leaving these words, Lin Xuan disappeared.

　Not long after, Lin saw Caster's figure. Of course, he was not the only one there. Saber was also standing there.

　At this moment, Saber was surrounded by dozens of monsters. These monsters were of similar size and appearance, lacking limbs or hips. Their appearance was beyond description. These monsters had countless tentacles, and at their base was a ring-shaped mouth. That mouth, like a shark's, was filled with teeth as sharp as razor blades. Although the origins of these monsters were unknown, their appearance made it clear that they were definitely not creatures of nature. They might be creatures from another world, a world that did not follow the so-called laws of nature.

　"Ah——Saber, why is it that every time I see you, you are in danger since I reminded you to be careful————" Looking at Saber who was surrounded by monsters, Lin Xuan joked.

　"Berserker!! How come you are here——" Obviously, Saber had not expected Lin Xuan's arrival, and the appearance of Lin Xuan, as an enemy, at this time was too coincidental. Not long after Caster invaded, Lin Xuan also came to this forest, which forced Saber to be on guard against him.

　"Hey——if I say I was just wandering around and ended up here, would you believe me?" Lin Xuan said with a smile, shrugged.

　"Swish——" Saber split the monster in front of her into two halves with a sword. She frowned and said to Lin Xuan, "Berserker!! Are you teasing me——"

　"Okay, I know you don't believe me, but don't worry, I'm not here to take advantage of the situation. I'm just bored tonight and want to go out for a stroll." Lin Xuan took a step to the side to avoid the monster's attack and said with a smile, "But I think we should get rid of these disgusting things first."

　Then, a blue-white light emerged from Lin Xuan's palm, and then a sound like the chirping of thousands of birds suddenly rang out.

　"Go." As Lin Xuan whispered, flashes of lightning from his palm rushed towards the monsters around him.

　“Swish—swish—swish—swish—” In an instant, all the monsters turned into charcoal after being entangled by the electric light.

　"It's really fun—don't you agree? —Caster—"

Chapter 18: The Escaped Caster

　"It's really hard to stop playing————don't you think?————Caster————" Looking at Caster coldly, Lin Xuan sneered.

　"Who the hell are you? Who gave you permission to disturb me? You ruined my meeting with the Saint, you bastard!" After seeing all the monsters being cleared out by Lin Xuan, Caster roared at Lin Xuan with a ferocious expression.

　Lin Xuan didn't care about Caster's roar, he just smiled and said with his head down.

　"Who am I? I really want to answer this question, but——" As soon as the words fell, a blue-white light flashed on Lin Xuan's body, and then his figure disappeared in front of Caster. The next moment, a figure with a blue-white light appeared in front of Caster.

　"Do you have the time to care who I am now? Caster————" The cold words echoed in front of Caster, making him feel a biting chill coming towards him.

　Then a sharp pain came from his lower abdomen.

　Lin Xuan's calf was like a whip, hitting Caster's stomach hard and whipping him out violently.

　The whole process happened in a flash, leaving people unable to react at all.

　Saber, who saw the scene before her, exclaimed, her eyes widening as she spoke.

　"So fast—even faster than the other night—"

　Caster, who was hit hard by Lin Xuan's calf, stopped only after crashing into countless large trees.

　"Wow——" A mouthful of scarlet blood spit out from Caster's mouth. He held his stomach tightly. Caster felt like his stomach was churning, and he almost fainted from the pain.

　“Wow——cough cough——” He knelt on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, blood still flowing out of his mouth.

　"Damn it——cough cough——" Feeling the pain coming from his body, Caster frowned tightly.

　"Ah, Saint, Joan of Arc, wait, I will definitely wake you up, wait..." Caster shouted to Saber as if he wanted to evacuate, but the next moment he was kicked away by Lin Xuan who suddenly appeared in front of him, and flew in the direction of the place where Lin Xuan kicked him before, and hit many big trees again along the way.

　"I haven't agreed to let you leave yet, why are you in such a hurry?————Caster————" Lin Xuan said with a smile as he walked towards Caster step by step. However, this smile was like the smile of the god of death in Caster's eyes, making him feel the breath of death again.

　"Wow——cough cough——" Caster barely propped himself up, his blood seemingly unstoppable, continuously pouring out of his mouth.
