Chapter 50: A Prodigal Son Returns

"It's because you were too annoying before. A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold." Emiya Shirou said, but he knew that this actually had something to do with both Shinji and him, but neither had much to do with each other.

The reason why Sakura and Rin reconciled so quickly is because they both regard each other as family and are very important to each other. They just said some unpleasant words in the heat of the moment and now they both regret it.

Emiya said this to make fun of Shinji and to warn him, although Shinji did a good job.

"Okay, don't be embarrassed, let's have dinner together tonight." Shirou Emiya invited them.

"Two?" Shinji looked at Emiya in surprise.

"You come too."

"I want one too?" Shinji looked disgusted.

"What are you thinking?"

"just kidding."

"You are indeed a lot more sunny than before."

"I understand. I will go there tonight." Toosaka Rin said, "But before that, Emiya-san needs to meet someone with me first."

"Are you talking about the man from the church, Kotomine Kirei?" Emiya asked.

"You know him?"

"Emiya, you said you would tell me the secret of the magic way."

"Shinji, I promised you that I will do it. I have a book here for you. You should understand the theories in the book first and don't try it blindly. Or because of the unfamiliar environment, the methods will have to be changed after a period of time. You should have the deepest understanding of the unfamiliar environment." Shirou took out a thick book from his schoolbag. On the cover of the book was written "The Relationship between Magic and Seals from the Devil in the Heart", written by Nicoletta Goldstein.

"What is that book?"

"A system of magic compiled by a friend that goes against most of the magic in this world." said Emiya Shirou.

"Is this the reason why you are so powerful?"

"Yes and no. Although I practiced this magic, the training I went through was much more difficult and involved some things that did not exist in this world."

"Something that doesn't exist in this world...?"

"Don't ask about this kind of thing, Toosaka-san."

"I want to know, if I practice that magic, will I be as powerful as you are now?"

"No." In the world of Devil May Cry, Shirou Emiya has experienced countless life-and-death crises, killed countless demons, and gained the power of souls from them. These conditions cannot be reproduced in the Type-Moon world. The souls of demons are inherently stronger than humans, and the Type-Moon world is not like Devil May Cry, where there are demons everywhere. "But it's stronger than you are now."

"Is that so? Can you let me take a look at the book later?"

Toosaka and Emiya walked side by side towards the church in Fuyuki.

"can."

"You agreed so quickly? I thought you were just close to that Shinji guy."

"We have a pretty good relationship, right? I have a pretty good relationship with you, too."

"But we've never been in touch before."

"Just look at Archer and you'll know. I'm not making excuses."

"Archer." After mentioning Archer, Toosaka Rin's expression was very complicated, still entangled in what happened yesterday. When she thought of that terrifying figure, she felt a terrifying suffocation.

"I want to tell you about what happened in the Fourth Holy Grail War, including things about your father, the godfather Kotomine Kirei, and your sister Matou Sakura. Before listening, you may need to be mentally prepared.

"What kind of person do you think your father is?"

"He's a very good magician, but he can't be considered a qualified father. Because the magic seal cannot be inherited, he sent Sakura to the Matou family. Sakura must not have had a very happy life over the years." On the one hand, Rin wants to be a good magician like his father, but on the other hand, he doesn't like the fact that his father sent Sakura away.

"But I can tell you that among magicians, your father is considered to be a particularly humane one." Even Shirou Emiya had never thought that he would actually say such a thing. Type-Moon's history was really too horrifying.

"What, what does this mean?" Toosaka Rin asked hesitantly. She always felt that Emiya was scolding her, but she had no evidence.

"Do you know the head of the Matou family?"

"I heard that the old man, Matou Zouken, seems to be dead."

Emiya told him about Matou Zouken's story.

A magician who wanted to be a partner of justice, in order to obtain the Holy Grail and make more people happy, gradually lost his humanity and turned into a monster who only wanted to live for the sake of survival.

"Such a person, Sakura is in his hands, is it possible?"

"That's right." Emiya said, "The Matou family uses a type of magic called Crimson Mushi."

The Marking Worm is a kind of insect secret technique of the Matou family. By implanting a Marking Worm similar to a familiar, it can expand the magic circuit in a short period of time, transform the magic properties, and directly absorb life force to create magic power - this can also be said to replace the magic circuit. Since these insects are controlled by the caster, they can also be understood as a kind of familiar, and the person who is implanted with the Marking Worm naturally becomes the caster's puppet.

The imprint worm feeds on the host's magic power. It is usually dormant. When the host's magic power is full, it will not cause any harm to the host. When the host's magic power is insufficient, the spine of a male will be broken and the brain will be absorbed, eventually causing the male to become a cripple. For women, it will only make them maintain a high sexual state and desire to replenish magic power, so it is also known as the "lust worm". But once the imprint worm is really activated, it will consume a lot of magic power and further devour the host's flesh. If it keeps on for half a day, it will not be able to survive.

Although the magic talent of Sakura given by the Tosaka family to the Matou family is quite good, the magic attribute of Matou Sakura's own "hollow" does not match the magic attribute of the Matou family's "water". Therefore, Matou Zouken implanted the seal worm into Matou Sakura's body, hoping to transform Sakura's magic attribute to be more suitable for receiving the magic of the Matou family, and to control Sakura through the worm.

In the case of Sakura Matou, the crested worm mainly embodies the function of transforming the attributes of magic and controlling it.

Sakura has lived among those insects since she was a child. Her innocence was taken away by those insects, and she was ravaged and toyed with. Later, she was used as a sexual toy by the mentally twisted Shinji.

Since childhood, Sakura Matou has fallen into despair.

Abandoned by her father, unable to see her sister, and with the death of her uncle Kariya who was kind to her, she has always lived under the control of the old bug, and Senior Emiya is the one ray of light she sees in her dark life.

Chapter 51 It's broken. The melon eater has eaten his own house.

"This kind of thing actually happened to Sakura..." After hearing what happened to Sakura, Rin's heart was filled with sadness and anger. She understood why Sakura treated her like that. In her eyes, her sister did not come to save her when she was in the most critical moment, but instead started to approach her when her life was on track.

At the same time, he was once again very dissatisfied with his father who had died ten years ago. "Did my father, knowing that this kind of thing would happen, still send Sakura to the Matou family?"

"That's not necessarily true. Hinata-san said that your father is considered a very humane person among magicians," Emiya Shirou replied.

"Huh, such a human being would actually give his own daughter to someone else to raise. Just because she has the talent for magic. He asked Sakura if she wanted to become a magician?" Rin was still very angry.

"My adoptive father, Emiya Kiritsugu, killed his biological father and adoptive mother with his own hands. Although he did it to save more people, we cannot deny that he committed such a sinful thing." Emiya Shirou said depressedly. In the eyes of the young Emiya Shirou, the adoptive father who saved him in the disaster was his hero and a partner of justice. When Hinata Hajime told him about Emiya Kiritsugu's experience, he never thought that Emiya Kiritsugu was a person who would do anything to achieve his goals, and that a large part of the disaster he suffered was also caused by Emiya Kiritsugu. His biological father and mother also died in the Fuyuki fire ten years ago.

But do you want to ask him if he blames Kiritsugu? He won't blame him. Because Kiritsugu Emiya is his family, he raised him, and his legacy allowed Shirou to grow up smoothly. Moreover, the fire in Fuyuki City was a disaster that happened after Kiritsugu Emiya tried his best to save the city. If Kiritsugu Emiya hadn't destroyed the contaminated Holy Grail, not only Fuyuki City, but the whole world would have been destroyed.

But we cannot deny the fact that Kiritsugu Emiya has so much dirt on his hands. Shirou Emiya feels guilty. He takes the things of the people in the past on himself and keeps working hard to save the future.

"Kotomine Kirei, the current spokesperson of the church, is a scumbag who would be happy to kill his teacher," Emiya Kiritsugu added.

"That priest?" Toosaka Rin never thought that she would get to eat the priest's melon. Then she changed her mind and thought, no, who is the priest's master? Isn't he her own father?

It's bad. I've eaten the melon in my own home.

"My father was actually killed by that priest... I knew from the beginning that the priest was not a good man!" Toosaka Rin was furious and was about to go find Kotomine Kirei to settle the score. Too many things had happened recently and she couldn't vent them out. She had become a fool who did things without using her brain at all. She forgot to go to Shirou to ask for evidence to verify whether this was true, and she also forgot to think about whether she could defeat Kotomine Kirei alone.

"Don't be impulsive, Toosaka-san." Emiya Shirou quickly pulled Rin back, "Think about the consequences before you do anything. With your ability, it's hard to beat that priest. If you don't think before you do anything, you'll suffer."

Toosaka Rin was very dissatisfied at first, but then she thought of what Sakura said today, and her desire to find Kotomine Kirei to settle the score cooled.

Just like what Emiya said, if you don't think things through beforehand, you'll only hurt the people around you. That old guy Kirei has been pretending to take care of him for more than ten years, but I don't know how cunning he is. His magic level can't even beat a classmate, let alone Kotomine Kirei, who has practiced with his father for so many years.

She used the current Shirou Emiya as a benchmark to think about things, completely forgetting that even the Heroic Spirit could not defeat Emiya.

"Your father, Tōsaka Tokiomi, was considered to have some humanity among the magi. He treated Heroic Spirits as mere tools, using Command Spells to force them to do things they did not want to do, and cheated through the Church, the supervisor of the Holy Grail War."

"There's also the matter of Sakura, right?" Toosaka Rin continued.

Now even Emiya Chaoxia is a little tired. The other party keeps talking about Sakura every other sentence, but today it was because of her words without thinking that she annoyed Sakura. If she regrets it so much, can she remember it better next time?

"These magicians are just like that. That's why I look down on these old-fashioned magicians. If I want to save the world and become a partner of justice, these magicians are a hurdle that I can't overcome. But I can't fight them with my own strength.

"If I were alive, with my strength and that of the old man, we could easily defeat these magicians, but that would be meaningless. The power of one person is too limited. After a hundred years, the situation will return to the same bad state as before. Even the old man realized this and founded the Assassination Cult.

"I will follow the old man's example."

"Founding a cult?" Toosaka Rin looked into the assassination cult.

"Not really. I'm just passing down a new form of magic."

"So Shinji?"

"Yes. Not only Shinji-kun, can you come too?"

"my pleasure."

"I thought you would agree later." Emiya Shirou felt unexpected emotions for the first time.

"I am not an academic magician. I have only been studying my father's old ways for so many years. That priest can't give me much guidance in this area."

To be honest, Kotomine Kirei actually taught Rin some things, but in front of Emiya Shirou, those teachings were completely useless. Her confidence as the eldest daughter of the Tōsaka family was completely destroyed, and even the things Kirei taught her didn't seem so useful.

"I'm not giving up the magic that the Tousaka family has always practiced, but I want to learn from a new magic system and walk a path that is better than my father.

“What my father didn’t do, I will do.

“To reach the root of magic, to reach its apex.

"Like what you said, one person's power is limited. If I want to make further progress in the path of magic, I could only go through the Magic Association and the Clock Tower before, but now there is another way in front of me. A road that no one has discovered and may be full of thorns.

"Like Columbus, opening up new continents and gaining more magical knowledge is what a qualified magician should do. The sweat I shed on such a road will give me a greater sense of accomplishment than studying step by step in the clock tower."

Rin walked up to Shirou Emiya and looked at him seriously.

"There is another point, that is..."

Chapter 52: The Hero King... Gilgamesh...

"I just can't bear the thought of joining that conservative place in the Clock Tower and going against you, Emiya," Rin sighed as he followed Emiya again.

Not only could she not defeat him, she also didn't dare to be his enemy. She also didn't want to be his enemy.

When she was young, she saw the boy practicing high jump clumsily again and again. That memory was one of the reasons why she was able to persist in the boring practice of magic.

Moreover, this guy has a close relationship with Ying. I have owed Ying for so many years, so I can't fight with him.

By then, Sakura will probably join his side.

"Now that you mention it, I can breathe a sigh of relief." Emiya Shirou also said, "I don't want to do anything to Toosaka-san either."

It wasn't just talk. Toosaka Rin could feel that the ice in Emiya Shirou's heart had melted a little. He was able to chat with her in a normal manner and became much more friendly, instead of being hostile to her like before and treating her as an enemy.

Coupled with the majestic appearance of Emiya before, she couldn't help but be attracted by such Emiya and wanted to know more about him.

As they were talking, the church in Fuyuki City arrived.

Toosaka pushed open the door of the church. No one came to pray in this remote church. A priest wearing a clergy robe and with messy hair stood under the cross. The light shining through the church window shone in front of him. Kotomine Kirei could touch the light only an inch away, but Kotomine Kirei did not seem to need it and still stood in the darkness.

And in that light, there sat a thin blond man, pouring himself a glass of red wine and tasting it.

"Rin. You're here." Kotomine Kirei looked at Rin and the coming Emiya Shirou, feeling a little surprised.

Kotomine Kirei didn't know what happened last night. Although Lancer's master was Kotomine Kirei now, the familiar used for surveillance was killed by the assassination master Wang Hassan at the beginning. As for the other party's familiar from Ryudo Temple, it was placed there deliberately by Emiya and the old man. Lancer and Kotomine Kirei were not on the same page, and they concealed a lot after returning.

There is a lot of hatred between Lancer and Kotomine Kirei. If they were just summoned because they are incompatible, it would be fine. However, the relationship between Lancer and this priest is that Lancer was summoned by his little fan girl, and then Kotomine Kirei threatened him with the life of his original Master, so he had to sign a contract with Kotomine Kirei. Now his original Master is still in a coma with suspended animation.

After Lancer was defeated last night, he thought that this guy would be defeated soon too, but he didn't expect that he would come to his door the next day. Now he was hiding in the corner, ready to wait for that Gilgamesh and the priest to be defeated. Gilgamesh was indeed very strong, but he was definitely not as strong as the Heroic Spirit who made him feel like dying yesterday. In addition, Archer was so strong in the past, and with the current Archer and the little girl who were quite strong, he had the advantage. As long as Kotomine Kirei didn't use the Command Seals to kill him, it would be fine.

There was one question that he had been pondering for the entire night but still couldn't figure out: why Archer was so strong in the past, but so weak now.

"Don't call me with that sanctimonious look of yours." Toosaka Rin finally found someone to vent her anger on.

"I don't remember teaching you to speak to your teacher like this. After all, I am still your guardian. If your deceased master saw you acting so barbaric, he would be sad." Kotomine Kirei felt happy inside when he saw Rin getting angry.

It's probably like an ordinary person seeing a hamster getting angry at a person and can't help but tease it.

"You were the one who killed my father. Why are you pretending to be a good person here?" It would have been fine if he didn't mention his father. As soon as he mentioned him, he got even angrier.

Fight, fight.

Lancer, in spirit form, looked at the scene in front of him with great expectation, but it was obvious that Kotomine Kirei was much more cunning than Lancer thought, and the Holy Grail War had to be fought at night. Although Kotomine Kirei didn't care about that rule.

"So what?" Kotomine Kirei asked back, "I don't know where you learned this, but I am still your guardian."

Looking at the calm appearance in front of him, Rin felt a little strange.

In fact, Kotomine Kirei was no different from the Kotomine Kirei she knew in the past. He was always calm and unperturbed.

But after learning the truth of the incident, she realized what a terrible face was hidden behind that calmness.

He was able to calmly realize that he had killed his teacher and the father of the person in front of him, and he could still be so calm.

This can no longer be explained by a steady personality, it's simply cold-bloodedness.
