Sister Toosaka Rin

Recalling that Tousaka Kiyoshi had a strange experience of coming back to life from the dead, Altria seemed to understand something.

It seems that this Master of mine is a little unusual.

Even Altria didn't react immediately, let alone Gilgamesh who was in a furious state.

He thought that someone who appeared so arrogant should have some strength, but he didn't expect to be shot into a hedgehog by him.

Gilgamesh stared at Toosaka Kiyoshi in a daze. It felt so unreal, as if he had punched cotton.

Chapter 32: Borrowing a Noble Tool

After staring blankly for a moment, Gilgamesh laughed and said, "Hahaha, where did this clown come from? Is he performing with his life? I admit that you did a good job in making me laugh."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gilgamesh heard a familiar voice: "What did you say? Say it again."

Gilgamesh's laughter suddenly stopped, and even Toosaka Rin felt embarrassed for him.

The unharmed Kiyoshi Toosaka moved a little further away from Toosaka Rin and Altria, picking his ears out of boredom and casually throwing a coin on the ground.

"You bastard king, your performance just now really made me laugh. Here is a tip."

Gilgamesh had a gloomy expression, his eyes fixed on Tousaka Kiyoshi, like a bomb that could explode at any time.

But in the end, Gilgamesh's brows relaxed.

"Bastard, I have to admit that your provocation did irritate me at first, but I am not a brainless Berserker. I don't care what your purpose is. Today's matter ends here. The next time we meet will be the day you die."

Considering that his own condition was too bad, the opponent had this strange resurrection ability, and Saber in her prime was watching him closely, Gilgamesh temporarily chose to retreat.

Of course he wanted to kill Tousaka Kiyoshi, but he was not a brainless idiot and would not be completely affected by anger.

The other party was obviously trying to provoke him on purpose, so how could he continue to be fooled?

Gilgamesh left, and it looked like the Servant had transformed into a spirit and disappeared, but Kiyoshi Toosaka knew that this should be the effect of a certain treasure. After a Servant obtains a physical body, he cannot transform into a spirit. This trick of his could only deceive Altria who didn't know that he had obtained a physical body.

Toosaka Kiyoshi stroked his chin and thought: I don't know if he used a teleportation-type treasure or an invisibility-type treasure. If it was the latter, then he is walking around in disgrace now? It feels a bit funny, what should I do?

However, given Gilgamesh's personality, it's unlikely to be the latter.

After seeing Gilgamesh leave, Toosaka Rin came to Toosaka Kiyoshi and said, "Why didn't you try to dodge just now? Don't you have a limit on the number of times you can revive?"

Apparently, she mistook Tousaka Kiyoshi's resurrection for a skill similar to the Twelve Trials of Hercules.

In fact, not only did Tousaka Kiyoshi not dodge, but he was deliberately trying to catch the golden treasure.

The reason...

It was a method he had thought of a long time ago to utilize the ability to record deaths.

Since he can take out weapons from the records and use them, if there are enough weapons in the records, he can also throw the treasures around for fun like Gilgamesh.

In this way, most low-intensity battles can be ended by standing still without moving.

So he imitated Zhuge Liang's strategy of borrowing arrows from a straw boat, hoping to borrow some treasures from Jin Shanshan.

Unfortunately, Gilgamesh only launched one wave of attacks before stopping. It seemed that his intention to provoke him was too obvious.

However, excluding some that hit him after his death, he still obtained forty treasures, which was enough for the time being.

Kiyoshi Toosaka had no intention of telling Rin Toosaka any information about that space, so he did not answer Rin Toosaka's question. Instead, he used the arriving fire truck as an excuse and quickly left the scene with Rin Toosaka in his arms.

The sudden explosion in the middle of the night quickly attracted the fire truck. After the operation of some mysterious force, it was determined that this was a ground collapse caused by a gas explosion.

Although I don't know where the gas pipe came from in the woods, it's reasonable to think that Ryudo Temple would be blown up to the sky by a gas explosion one day.

At the same time, in the Emiya residence, Illya also explained to Emiya Shirou the fact that Sakura Matou was affected by the evil of this world.

There was no need to say much about Illya who suddenly came to visit him. When Shirou Emiya heard that Illya was the daughter of Kiritsugu Emiya, he already treated Illya as his own sister.

Even Red A was only slightly wary of Illya, but that wariness disappeared after Illya expressed that she had no hostility.

At this time, Shirou Emiya heard that Sakura Matou was used by the Matou family and had a connection with the evil of this world, so he immediately wanted to take Red A to rescue Sakura Matou.

After taking just two steps, Illya's words made Emiya Shirou stop.

"Do you know where Matou Sakura is?"

Shirou Emiya wondered, "Isn't he at the Matou family?"

"Of course not. Berserker and I just had a big fight there, and we didn't see a single person."

Maybe Shinji Matou is not considered a human being in Illya's eyes.

"This……"

Having lost his target, Emiya Shirou didn't know what to do.

The more mature Red A stepped forward and said, "Illya, since you are here, it means you know the whereabouts of Matou Sakura, so just speak frankly."

Shirou Emiya also reacted at this time: "Illya, please tell me Sakura's whereabouts!"

Illya stood up and said, "The location is at Ryudo Temple. Time is urgent and the specific situation is a bit complicated. Let's talk while we walk."

Shirou Emiya nodded immediately, but Red A said at this time: "Shirou, before you leave, I have an important question to ask you."

Emiya Shirou was in no mood to answer questions right now: "What could be more important than Sakura's life?"

"Yes. Since the Matou family wants to use Matou Sakura to achieve certain goals, her life will not be threatened in the short term. But if you don't think about this question carefully, Shirou, you will definitely regret your decision today in the future."

After hearing what Red A said, Emiya Shirou was a little shaken. After spending some time together, he had vaguely guessed the relationship between this Servant and himself, so he seriously considered Red A's persuasion.

"Archer, go ahead."

Illya watched the scene with interest. Neither Caster nor Sakura Matou had anything to do with her, so she was not in a hurry.

Red A spoke slowly: "Recently, there are more and more cases of missing persons reported on TV. If I am not mistaken, these should be the evil of this world taking advantage of Matou Sakura's sleep to control her body and do it. The missing people should have become the nutrients of this world's evil. Now Matou Sakura has dozens of lives in her hands. Shirou, do you really want to save her?"

Shirou Emiya's eyes suddenly widened. Although the real murderer was the evil of this world and Sakura Matou was also a victim, for those who died, Sakura Matou was the murderer who killed them with her own hands. Was he going to save a murderer who was responsible for dozens of lives?

From childhood to adulthood, both the education given to him by Emiya Kiritsugu and his dream of becoming a partner of justice were contrary to this.

Chapter 33 Crossroads of Destiny

While Emiya Shirou was hesitating, Red A spoke again: "Besides, is there really any way to save her if she is entangled by something like the evil of this world? Even if we save her from the Matou family this time, how can we save her from the evil of this world in the future?"

"Shirou, you may not know that the evil of this world can even corrode the servants. Countless heroes in history could not resist its erosion. I don't think a high school girl can resist it. So in the end, Matou Sakura will still become a puppet of the evil of this world, helping the evil of this world to be born and destroy the world."

"In that case, why not kill Matou Sakura right from the start? That way, the evil of this world won't be able to affect reality, which is equivalent to saving the world. Using one person's life in exchange for the survival of the entire world is a good deal no matter how you look at it."

"Shut up!" Shirou Emiya yelled, "How can the value of human life be measured by simple numbers and quantities! You are not my future self at all! I don't want to be like you!"

Red A was not at all surprised that Emiya Shirou saw through his identity.

After all, he had been teaching Shirou Emiya how to use projection magic during this period of time, and the magic power composition of the two was almost the same. If Shirou Emiya had not guessed his identity after such hands-on teaching, it would be too stupid.

Red A said expressionlessly: "If you choose to kill Matou Sakura, fulfill your own principles, and pursue your dreams, then you will definitely become me."

Emiya Shirou looked at Illya for help: "Illya, there must be a way to save Sakura and stop the evil in this world, right? Is that right? Please tell me, please..."

Illya shook her head: "I will not tell you whether this method exists or not. What is important is not the method to save Matou Sakura or to stop the evil in this world, but your choice at this moment."

Even though she had just met Shirou Emiya, Illya could see that this was a critical moment in Shirou Emiya's entire life.

So she would not respond to Shirou Emiya's request for help. Helping him would allow him to escape this choice and would harm him.

Red A gave Illya a grateful look, and then spoke again: "On one side is the principles you have always adhered to in life and the dream you have decided to fight for your whole life, and on the other side is the girl you like."

"Now, it's your turn to make a choice."

As if fate were repeating itself, Shirou Emiya, who inherited Kiritsugu Emiya's will, stood at the intersection that Kiritsugu Emiya had walked ten years ago.

Ten years ago, Emiya Kiritsugu abandoned Irisviel's life in order to save the world.

Ten years later, Shirou Emiya once again stands at the crossroads of fate. What choice will he make?

Shirou Emiya stood there silently. Red A and Illya could see that his arms and shoulders were shaking constantly, and his clenched fists were even dripping with blood, which was caused by his nails piercing the skin, which showed how tightly he was clenching his fists.

At some point, Shirou Emiya's shoulders suddenly relaxed, his clenched fists naturally opened, his arms stopped shaking, and his whole aura weakened a lot.

He seemed to have seen through something, and seemed to have given up on something. A helpless and relieved smile hung on the corners of his mouth, and tears kept flowing from his eyes.

"Go, go save Sakura, let's go save Sakura!"

While he was talking about saving people, Shirou Emiya himself kept sobbing.

In the HF movie, when his whole body was pierced by swords, Shirou Emiya didn't shed a single tear, but now he is crying like a baby.

Red A patted Emiya Shirou's shoulder with relief: "My life is a mistake and tragedy. You made the right decision."

If Shirou Emiya chooses to kill Sakura Matou, he won't be able to go to Ryudo Temple today, and he won't even be able to leave the house.

However, Emiya Shirou burst into tears, feeling so heartbroken that he couldn't speak.

Illya nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Now I can tell you that there is a way to save Matou Sakura and stop the evil in this world, but it requires Caster's Noble Phantasm. Caster is now fighting with the Matou family in Ryudo Temple. We have been delayed for so long, we must speed up our actions."

This news did not improve Shirou Emiya's condition. As mentioned before, what was important was Shirou Emiya's choice, not the method of saving Sakura Matou.

Hearing this, Red A carried the still grief-stricken Shirou Emiya on his shoulders, while Hercules carefully placed Illya on his shoulders.

Judging from the way he treats his Master, Red A is more like a Berserker.

Hanging on Red A's shoulder and feeling the wind, Emiya Shirou gradually came out of his sadness.

Since he has made this choice, he will definitely not regret it.

Crying was just saying goodbye to the past. Now he was going to fight for Matou Sakura.

Not long after, the foursome arrived at Ryudo Temple. Because of Shirou Emiya's matter, they wasted some time and happened to meet Rin Toosaka who came with Altria.

When Illya saw Toosaka Rin, she looked around but didn't see Kiyoshi Toosaka. When she was about to ask, she saw Toosaka Rin making a "hush" gesture.

Illya nodded and trotted to Toosaka Rin. Toosaka Rin bent down and said something in Illya's ear. Illya shook her head and stopped looking for Toosaka Kiyoshi.

It turned out that after Toosaka Kiyoshi heard that Illya ran to Shirou Emiya for help, he decided to hide behind the scenes and let Altria and Toosaka Rin appear in front of Shirou Emiya and Red A together.

Although everyone else knows that Toosaka Rin has two servants, him and Altria, Emiya Shirou and Red A don't know that. They only think that Altria is the servant summoned by Toosaka Rin.

As for what happened at school last night, Kiyoshi Toosaka was lying dead on the ground. Later, when they met at Emiya's house, Shirou Emiya did not act as if he knew Kiyoshi Toosaka.

Moreover, Shirou Emiya did not see Toosaka Rin, otherwise, given his personality, he would definitely call Toosaka Rin to escape together.

If other people already knew about it, even if they didn't see Kiyoshi Toosaka, they would only think that Kiyoshi Toosaka was lying in ambush in the dark, and would not take the initiative to tell people that Rin Toosaka had two servants. It was also highly likely that the fact that Altria was disguised as Rin Toosaka's servant would not be exposed.

What Toosaka Rin asked Illya just now was to confirm whether she had told Emiya Shirou about the existence of Toosaka Kiyoshi.

Seeing Illya shaking her head, Toosaka Rin breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and greeted Emiya Shirou.

"Emiya-san, I didn't expect you to become the Master of the Holy Grail War."

Chapter 34: Summoning Servant Also Requires Connection

When Red A saw Altria beside Toosaka Rin, he finally understood why he was summoned by Emiya Shirou.

It turned out that Saber was summoned by Toosaka Rin.

But why can't the one with the scabbard summon King Arthur! Toosaka Rin with the ruby ​​necklace can't summon herself!

There's something wrong with this Holy Grail War!

In fact, the principle is very simple. If there is no interference from the restraining force, the Master's summoning of servants will only be affected by the relics and the compatibility between himself and the servants.

The power of inhibition is like a company manager. It is easy for him to place a relative in a position within his ability.

Thugs with suppressive power like Red A can only be considered ordinary employees. If Toosaka Rin does not participate in the Holy Grail War, other thugs will be thrown in to deal with the trouble of the evil of this world.

But Kiyoshi Toosaka was like an exchange student arranged by the bosses of other companies. He was the one with the biggest connections, so the manager, Inhibition, naturally gave him the best treatment, so Red A was squeezed out.

But the things agreed with Red A in advance had to be invalid, so he had to throw him to Emiya Shirou, which was just convenient for him to take action.

Artoria, who has not yet become a Heroic Spirit, can only be considered an employee who is currently being interviewed. Naturally, she can only give way to Red A, an internal staff member, so she was summoned by Medea.

As for Kojiro, who was supposed to be summoned by Medea, he is a fictional heroic spirit that is not even a real heroic spirit, so he has no human rights.

Red A was puzzled and gave up thinking. When he saw Illya and Toosaka Rin cooperating with each other, he realized what changes had taken place in the Holy Grail War in this parallel world.

The Matou family, one of the three great families, used the fragments of the Holy Grail to make a contract with the evil of this world in an attempt to gain powerful strength.
