Sister Toosaka Rin

Toosaka Rin gritted her teeth firmly: "I understand! Keep talking!"

"The Matou family has another son named Matou Shinji. He has no talent for magic, so he is jealous of Matou Sakura who can inherit the magic of the Matou family."

"Growing up in that kind of environment, Matou Sakura has developed a submissive character. No matter how Matou Shinji treats her, she will just endure it."

"Maybe it was just beatings and scoldings at first, but as time passed, the boy entered puberty, and Matou Sakura became a beautiful girl."

"So, as if everything was supposed to happen, Matou Sakura lost her virginity. But it didn't matter to her. It was much more comfortable than being beaten and scolded."

"Matou Shinji is the second suffering that Matou Sakura has endured."

"That guy!" Toosaka Rin gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to stab Matou Shinji to death with one knife.

"Then comes the third suffering that I am experiencing now, which is that black shadow."

Toosaka Rin raised her head: "What on earth is that?"

"You can understand this as the shadow of the evil in this world extending from the Greater Holy Grail to the present world."

"But why would Sakura be connected to the evil of this world?"

"Ten years ago, Saber destroyed the Lesser Holy Grail, and the fragments of the Lesser Holy Grail were obtained by the Matou family. So Matou Zouken implanted the fragments of the Lesser Holy Grail into Matou Sakura's body, and Matou Sakura became connected to the evil of this world."

"Also because of Matou Sakura's imaginary attribute, she became the seedbed for the evil of this world. Through the connection between the Greater Holy Grail and the Holy Grail fragments, the evil of this world infiltrated its power into the real world. It took advantage of Matou Sakura's sleep to control her body and turned into a black shadow like before, collecting the spiritual bases of servants or human souls. Many recent disappearances are related to it."

"Because it comes from the Holy Grail, its power naturally restrains Servants. If left alone, it absorbs the spiritual power of all Servants and grows fully. It will burst through Matou Sakura's body and descend into the human world. The fire in Fuyuki City ten years ago will happen again. However, the evil of this world that has broken free from the shackles of the Holy Grail is not only targeting Fuyuki."

Toosaka Rin asked with an unpleasant expression: "Is there any way to stop the evil in this world?"

Tousaka Kiyoshi looked at her deeply and said, "I thought the first thing you asked was to save your sister."

"Will stopping the evil in this world not save Sakura?"

"The easiest way to stop the evil in this world is to kill Matou Sakura. Without the means to influence the outside world, the evil in this world will be a lamb to be slaughtered in the Greater Holy Grail. Then, we just need to let Saber release the Noble Phantasm and destroy the Holy Grail once more."

"Is there any other way?"

"Use Caster's Noble Phantasm to cut off the connection between Matou Sakura and the evil of this world. After all, that connection is also a magical contract created by the Matou family in order to control the evil of this world and not hurt their own people, so this contract can also be broken by Caster's Noble Phantasm."

Toosaka Rin suddenly realized: "I see, that's why you came to cooperate with Caster."

"I do have this in mind, but doing so would mean I would need to face the attacks of the evil of this world and approach Matou Sakura. With Matou Sakura's fragile heart, this person must be someone she knows, otherwise she won't trust him."

The image of Shirou Emiya immediately appeared in Toosaka Rin's mind. In terms of familiarity with her younger sister, she, the elder sister, was not as familiar as that young man.

Thinking of this, Toosaka Rin once again admired Toosaka Kiyoshi's foresight. It turned out that he had been prepared to save his sister from the very beginning, which touched Toosaka Rin's heart.

Kiyoshi Toosaka has nothing to do with her sister, so he takes care of her sister only for her.

Chapter 22 I have completely understood

Toosaka Kiyoshi felt puzzled as he looked at Toosaka Rin's eyes, which showed that her favorability towards him was increasing.

Did this woman understand that he was hinting at letting Shirou Emiya do it?

After being touched for a while, Toosaka Rin made an OK gesture: "Okay, I completely understand."

"Really?" Toosaka Kiyoshi expressed doubt.

"In short, Sakura has been affected by the evil of this world and will become the big boss of the Holy Grail War. We need to obtain Caster's Noble Phantasm and let Emiya Shirou get close to Sakura and cut off her connection with the evil of this world."

Tousaka Kiyoshi felt relieved, it seemed that he really understood.

"Alright, let's go and explain to Caster. With the common enemy of this world's evil, Caster will definitely agree to cooperate with us. No wonder you said before that this Holy Grail War might not be fought. With such a big problem, it would be strange if the Holy Grail War could continue normally."

Seeing Toosaka Rin's confident look, Toosaka Kiyoshi advised: "Don't be too happy too soon. Your sister has been through so much hardship and is now affected by the evil of this world. She could turn evil at any time. By then, she might not want to be saved by us at all. What we are facing is a monster that can use the power of the Holy Grail. Coupled with its ability to restrain Servants, it will be a life-and-death battle."

Toosaka Rin took a deep breath and said, "I understand. If it really comes to that, then I'll do my best to kill Sakura."

In a life-and-death battle, it is impossible to hold back, and she has no right to ask others to hold back for her sister.

Toosaka Kiyoshi pinched Toosaka Rin's cheeks and said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. The evil of this world is still very weak before it grows up. Besides, Matou Sakura is a kind child. After we explain everything to her, she should cooperate with us."

Sakura Matou said it was dangerous because she had the potential to become a beast.

But it is not dangerous either. As long as they grasp a few key points of blackening and let Sakura Matou cooperate with them, it is not difficult to eliminate the evil in this world.

For example, not letting Sakura Matou kill Shinji Matou with her own hands, and not letting Sakura Matou be jealous of her sister.

As for the former, he planned to patrol intensively in Fuyuki City these two nights, and if he met the Second Master, he would kill him directly to prevent this time bomb from exploding.

With his current strength, it would be easy for him to defeat Medusa who was controlled by Shinji Matou with the Book of False Minister. After all, she was of the level that could be killed in one move by Altria, who was the master of Shirou Emiya.

The latter is even more impossible to happen. As long as he is with Toosaka Rin, there is no possibility of Sakura Matou misunderstanding.

Toosaka Rin slapped Toosaka Kiyoshi's hand away, glared at him, and said, "I hope everything goes well."

The two walked out of the room and found Medea under the guidance of Altria.

At this time, Soichiro Kuzuki's injuries had almost recovered. When he saw Kiyoshi Toosaka and the other two appear, he immediately became alert.

Tousaka Kiyoshi greeted him: "Hey, teacher, you can move now? Don't be so nervous, relax a little. If we have hostility towards you, why didn't we wait until now to take action?"

"It's important to be on guard against others. You may have other purposes."

Toosaka Kiyoshi nodded, "We do have other goals, and now is the time to explain it to you, Caster."

When explaining to Toosaka Rin just now, Toosaka Kiyoshi had already explained it to Altria, so now the only ones who don't know the truth are Medea and Kuzuki Soichiro.

Medea sat next to Soichiro Kuzuki and said, "Please sit down. If it is related to that black shadow, I would like to know."

Kiyoshi Tousaka sat opposite Medea and slowly recounted the origin of the black shadow.

Medea's expression became more and more serious as Tousaka Kiyoshi described, and she finally said, "No wonder you need to cooperate with me. If there is such an enemy, I have no reason to refuse. Lord Soichiro, please make the final decision."

Kuzuki Soichiro laughed at himself, "I never thought that someone like me would have the day to save the world. Promise them, Caster, and make the servants who attacked today pay the price."

"I understand, Master Soichiro."

After reaching a cooperation, Medea asked Tousaka Kiyoshi, "So what are Lord Soichiro and I going to do?"

Toosaka Kiyoshi looked at Toosaka Rin and said, "Now it's Rin's turn to lead the way."

"Leave it to me. Please follow me."

Medea was a little hesitant, but it was Soichiro Kuzuki who caught up with Rin Toosaka first. Seeing this, Medea had to catch up quickly.

Tosaka Kiyoshi followed her and said, "Don't worry, I'm just taking you to a place."

A group of people followed Toosaka Rin and came to a stone wall. Toosaka Rin found the right position and stepped into the stone wall. Seeing this, the others hurried to follow.

Inside the stone wall was a man-made passage. As she led the way, Toosaka Rin explained, "Under Ryudo Temple is where the Fuyuki earth veins converge. The Holy Grail is here. I need you, Caster, to make this place an iron wall."

The reason why Matou Zouken was the first to attack Ryudo Temple was because Caster's influence on the battle situation would become greater in the later stages, so it was natural to attack Caster as early as possible.

The second reason is that the fatal weakness of his plan - the Holy Grail - is located under Ryudo Temple.

The evil of this world in the Holy Grail has no means of protecting itself, so he must take Ryudo Temple into his own hands.

Therefore, Matou Zouken's attacks on Ryudo Temple will never stop just like that, and he will definitely appear again.

After Tousaka Kiyoshi said this inference, Tousaka Rin continued: "So Ryudo Temple is of utmost importance and must not be lost."

Kuzuki Soichiro asked: "In that case, can't we just sit here and wait for the rabbit to come?"

Toosaka Rin shook her head: "The Holy Grail needs to recover the souls of the servants before it can open. Before it opens, we can't harm the evil of this world inside, so blindly defending is not a solution. We also need to take the initiative to attack."

Kuzuki Soichiro frowned: "But according to what you said, the servant's withdrawal will also make the shadow stronger."

Isn't this equivalent to actively strengthening one's own enemies?

Toosaka Rin sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. Caster will monitor the Holy Grail. Once he finds that the barrier between the Holy Grail and the real world has become weak enough, he will notify us immediately. That will be the decisive battle."

To be honest, she and Tousaka Kiyoshi were not at ease leaving Caster to guard Ryudo Temple alone.

However, although Ryudo Temple is important, even if it is taken away by Matou Zouken, he will not be able to fight a positional battle without Caster, so they still have a chance to take it back.

Chapter 23: Enthusiastic Citizen Mr. Jin

After walking a long way, everyone finally arrived at the place where the Holy Grail was.

Even though they were thousands of meters apart, everyone could feel the magic of the sea, and even Medea couldn't help but admire it.

"This level of secret arts is very rare even in my time. The magician who created the Greater Holy Grail system is truly a child of destiny."

Tosaka Kiyoshi teased, "You sound so powerful, is there no way to crack it?"

"It is indeed extremely difficult to crack it, but it is still very simple to exploit the loopholes, steal some magic power from the earth veins, and speed up the construction of the magic workshop. With the help of the Greater Holy Grail, I can complete the workload of five days in just one day."

"Then I'll leave this place to you. But be careful not to go too far and release the evil of this world."

"Of course not. I am only using the magic power in the earth veins. The entire process will not have any contact with the Greater Holy Grail. Moreover, without the rare imaginary attribute, the evil power of this world has no basis in the world and will disappear soon."

Toosaka Kiyoshi understood that, just like the Fuyuki fire ten years ago, the power of evil in this world was exhausted after causing the fire. In addition, with the end of the Holy Grail War, the hole between the Greater Holy Grail and the outside world was closed, and it became an ordinary fire.

Medea has already started making the magic formation.

Toosaka Rin followed this magician of the Age of Gods, trying to learn some magic of the Age of Gods.

But Medea's magic was performed too quickly and she couldn't see what was happening.

That is the Servant's skill "High-Speed ​​Divine Word", the ability to directly perform magic without chanting a spell.

Even so, Toosaka Rin did not give up.

Altria followed Toosaka Rin closely to protect her.

After all, Soichiro Kuzuki had just recovered from a serious injury. After walking such a long way, he was extremely tired, so he sat on a rock to rest.

Kiyoshi Toosaka followed the guidance of his heart and came to the Holy Grail. The moment he stepped into the Ryudo Temple, he felt that something underground had an invisible attraction to him.

After coming here, he finally confirmed that it was the Holy Grail that attracted him.

Standing in front of the Holy Grail, he finally understood that this was the "anchor" he was looking for.

No wonder Ryougi Shiki didn't tell him how to judge an anchor. It turned out that the anchor had an inexplicable attraction to him. As long as he saw an anchor, he would definitely recognize it and would never miss it, so there was no need to tell him how to judge an anchor.

only……

After coming before the Holy Grail, the attraction to him not only did not weaken, but instead increased a lot.

He could feel that the thing that attracted him was within the Holy Grail, and he needed to enter the Holy Grail!

Toosaka Kiyoshi had no doubt whether this was Ryougi Shiki's way of dealing with him. If she wanted to deal with him, there was no need for her to go through such a big detour.

Toosaka Kiyoshi looked at Altria who was following Toosaka Rin.

The Greater Holy Grail has become one with the earth veins of Fuyuki. If it is destroyed, the entire Fuyuki will be blown up to the sky by the magic power released by the earth veins.

So having Artoria destroy the Holy Grail actually means destroying the hole between the Greater Holy Grail and the real world, not the Greater Holy Grail itself.

But the evil of this world still exists within the Greater Holy Grail, it has just been severely damaged and will remain dormant for at least a few decades.

If Tousaka Kiyoshi enters the Holy Grail, he will be targeted by the evil of this world.

In Fate, there are only three people who are contaminated by the evil of this world but are not affected. One is the author's father Gilgamesh, one is Emiya Shirou who is protected by the scabbard, and the other is Kotomine Kirei who is born evil.

Kiyoshi Toosaka doesn't know whether he will be affected by the evil of this world, but if it is true as Ryougi Shiki said, that he is the only hope for saving that world, then Ryougi Shiki will definitely save him.

Therefore, Kiyoshi Toosaka had no hesitation in entering the Holy Grail, but other people would definitely not understand his actions, so he needed to find a suitable reason.

Kiyoshi Toosaka thought about it and felt that shutting down the Greater Holy Grail seemed like a good reason.

In the HF line, Shirou Emiya once wanted to use himself as a sacrifice to permanently close the Holy Grail so that the evil of this world could never enter the real world again, but in the end this was done by Illya.

In the Fate and UBW lines, about ten years after the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War, El-Melloi II visited Fuyuki City and performed the complete disintegration of the Greater Holy Grail with Rin Toosaka.

However, the Magic Association at that time was planning to revive the Greater Holy Grail, and the two sides were completely opposed, so the Sixth Holy Grail War broke out. This war is also called the Holy Grail Disintegration War.

The final result was naturally the victory of Toosaka Rin and El-Melloi II, and the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City also came to a complete end.

However, the Holy Grail Disintegration War is just like the background setting of the story, and there is not much specific content at all.

It would be great if we could resolve the historical problems in this Holy Grail War.

Judging from Illya's behavior and the setting of the Holy Grail Disintegration War, the method to close the Greater Holy Grail should be something passed down by the Three Great Families. Illya knows it, and Toosaka Rin also knows it.
