This made Morpheus a little confused. When Emiya Kiritsugu was buying furniture, he wanted to have a more unified classical style, so he went for this Japanese style. And because of pragmatism, he added sofas and other things into it.
Of course, these are just Morpheus's guesses.
He was just sitting there quietly, thinking about whether he should wait until he earned enough money to buy a mobile phone, when he heard Toosaka Rin's voice.
"Morpheus."
Morpheus asked, "Are you still asleep?"
"No..." Toosaka Rin said, then hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I have something I want to tell you."
"I received an invitation from a girl on such a quiet night. Should I be excited?" Morpheus said without entering the room.
Even though the other person was wearing pajamas, Morpheus felt that he had to respect the girl's wishes and not go in casually. Otherwise, wouldn't that be like a pervert?
"Come in and talk." Toosaka Rin said.
Seeing that the other party said so, Morpheus entered the room where the other party was sleeping, an originally empty bedroom in the Emiya family.
The door on the side that was supposed to be closed was opened, and the scenery outside could be seen. The moonlight was very bright, and even if the lights were not on in the house, it could be seen clearly.
At this time, the girl had already climbed out of bed. She was sitting aside in her pajamas, letting the moonlight fall on her body.
The girl under the moonlight looked inexplicably bitter.
"By the way, Morpheus, what you just said." Toosaka Rin said, glancing at Morpheus who had come in, with a slight smile on her lips: "But it is suspected of being harassment."
"But I'm not harassing anyone. I'm just raising my doubts." Morpheus didn't admit anything. "Because a beautiful girl greeted and invited me so late at night, I think any normal man would be excited."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore..." Toosaka Rin shook her head. She found that she could not argue with Morpheus because Morpheus was thick-skinned and shameless.
She did not continue the topic and instead asked the question the other party wanted to ask.
"Do you and Ms. Matou know each other?"
"I don't know him." Morpheus shook his head without hesitation. He did not choose to lie, but told the truth.
"But why do I feel like you two should know each other?"
"I really don't know her. I mean, this is my second time seeing her here. The first time was at school. After all, although I considered going to investigate the Matou family last time, unfortunately, because of the barrier of the Matou family, I gave up in the end to avoid alerting them."
Toosaka Rin looked at Morpheus in surprise. She had never expected that Morpheus had planned to investigate the Matou family so early in the morning. This guy was so concerned about the Holy Grail War!
No, since his goal was not to obtain the Holy Grail but to prevent tragedy from happening, it was indeed reasonable for him to pay attention to the people involved in this battle.
The other contestants might have hoped that everyone except themselves would kill each other, but his words were most likely intended to reduce the number of deaths.
Toosaka Rin, who had been in contact with Morpheus for quite some time, thought silently.
At this time, Morpheus said again: "But you are right, I also feel that Ying might know me."
"Sakura? Did you just call her by her name?"
"I'm lazy."
The useful answer left Toosaka Rin speechless. It is indeed easier to pronounce fewer words than to pronounce many.
At this time, Morpheus continued, "Have you discussed my affairs?"
"We discussed it briefly. By the way, do you think she is the Master?"
"Yes."
It was an unsurprising answer, but Tōsaka Rin still wanted to find a possibility that the other party was not a participant in the Holy Grail War: "Have you found evidence?"
"When she came in the morning, there was obviously a Servant hiding beside her. I don't know if Saber and the others could have noticed it, but at least I could feel that the hidden individual was following Sakura the whole time.
"From this point of view, it is obvious that Sakura is one of the participants in this Holy Grail War and also the Master. As for the fact that her Command Seals are not on her hand, is it possible that they are hidden somewhere else?"
"Yes! There are no Command Seals on her hands! But this thing is hidden somewhere else..." Toosaka Rin pondered, but could not think of where else such a thing could be placed. "It's hard to think of, mainly because there are too many places to put it, almost all over her body!"
"Then don't think about it. Sakura is definitely the Master anyway, and she has been hiding her identity. Alas, as the heir of the Matou family, she is also a tragedy, a capital tragedy." Morpheus said, secretly observing Toosaka Rin's expression.
Hearing Morpheus' words, Tohsaka Rin's expression changed. She became very nervous and asked quickly, "What happened to the Matou family?!"
"Why are you so nervous? They are supposed to be your opponents, the people of the Matou family. They have problems, shouldn't you relax a little? It's not like you're going to die."
Morpheus's slow words made Toosaka Rin feel uneasy. She turned her face away slightly, but still asked, "What secrets does the Matou family have? As a member of the Tosaka family, of course I have to know!"
Morpheus smiled and asked, "But asking such a thing casually is like declaring war on the Magician family, isn't it?"
Toosaka Rin's expression became even uglier, as if she had to eat something unclean and had to eat it.
"What should I do? Just like Morpheus said, this is the rule of the magician family. I should abide by it... I shouldn't break it casually. After all, I am from the Tosaka family and a descendant of the managers of this land!"
Toosaka Rin struggled in her heart, but this struggle was eventually suppressed.
"As the Master, I demand that you tell me, Morpheus, what secrets does the Matou family hide?!"
Everything is for Sakura, everything is for my only sister!
Toosaka Rin declared this in her heart.
Unfortunately, Morpheus obviously didn't intend to reveal the information just like that: "Then can you tell me why you are so anxious and want to know the secret of the Matou family so much?"
Looking at the obvious smile on Morpheus's face, Toosaka Rin stiffened her neck and said firmly, "That's naturally because I'm the owner of this land. Even though this identity is not very useful now, I still have to be responsible for my own place!
"If the secret of the Matou family is truly dangerous, I will intervene for the sake of the people in this place!"
"That's a good reason. I agree." Morpheus nodded, which made Tohsaka Rin breathe a sigh of relief. She secretly thought of "passing the level", but Morpheus' next words almost made her scream, "So, your desire to know this has nothing to do with Sakura being your sister, right?"
Toosaka Rin's heart stopped at this moment, and then suddenly started beating even more violently, as if there had been a sudden car crash.
Her eyes were dull at first, then suddenly widened, and she almost jumped up.
She raised her right hand and pointed at Morpheus, unable to even utter a complete and fluent sentence.
“You, you, you, you…”
"So, my poor Master has finally lost the ability to speak?"
"Hu..." After taking a deep breath and exhaling, Toosaka Rin found that it was still extremely difficult for her to speak, as if her mouth was out of control.
"H-how did you know that?!"
Fortunately, I finally finished saying this sentence.
"Of course I know this by relying on my powerful strength!"
Facing Morpheus's answer, Toosaka Rin was still in shock. What secrets could she possibly hide? How much did he know?!
Judging from the situation now, it's not just me, I'm afraid he knows all the secrets of the Matou family!
As the shame of having her secret revealed came over her, Toosaka Rin's cheeks flushed and her body became hot. However, as this feeling of shame came and faded away, she felt a sense of relief and comfort.
No longer needing to hide her thoughts, she inexplicably felt a sense of desperate conflict, so she stopped hiding it from the other person and said directly, "I'm just worried about my sister, so can you tell me?"
"Of course." Morpheus nodded gently, then said a cruel fact, "Ying, in fact, does not exist as an heir."
It was obvious that Toosaka Rin didn't realize the cruelty in this: "So the heir is Matou Shinji?"
"Why is your thinking so un-magician-like?" Morpheus "criticized" Toosaka Rin's way of thinking. He then took advantage of the moment when the other party puffed up her cheeks in anger to say what she hadn't said yet.
"The heir is not Matou Shinji. The master of the Matou family has never changed. He has always been the same person. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Always been alone?!" Toosaka Rin thought for a moment, then her eyes slowly widened. This simple sentence made her feel suffocated.
"It's always been the same person. What do you mean? The history of the Matou family is hundreds of years old. Are you saying that the owner of the Matou family has never changed over the years? But according to history, there have been changes..."
When Tohsaka Rin said this, she suddenly closed her mouth, and then under Morpheus's gaze, she slowly said: "You mean, the several family heads we have seen are actually the same person?!"
"That's right, relying on fresh flesh to keep oneself alive is a way to do it. All you have to do is change bodies, and the better the aptitude of the new body, the better the effect.
"He also doesn't want to be replaced by a useless person, so Matou Shinji will not be the heir. The heir is Sakura's body, not Sakura's soul."
This simple description made Toosaka Rin realize the horror and cruelty of the Matou family. She suddenly remembered a person, a man she knew when she was a child, who was always shy in front of her mother, smiled at her mother, and was also very kind to her.
"So, the reason Uncle Kariya left home in the first place was because he knew all this?"
"Oh, you're talking about Matou Kariya. Another tragedy, but he fell into it even though he knew about it. In the end, it can only be said that it was his own choice."
Toosaka Rin looked at Morpheus in surprise, "You know this again?!"
"Matou Kariya, one of the participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War, had originally left the Matou family, but he returned because of your sister Sakura. However, that old immortal didn't think about victory. He just wanted to see the traitor who had once disobeyed him suffer.
"As for Matou Kariya's final outcome, I imagine the old man must have been excited for a long time. Of course, it's also possible that he felt that this kind of pain wasn't enough."
"So, what exactly happened at that time..." Toosaka Rin asked cautiously.
Morpheus looked at her with pity in his eyes: "Are you ready to know everything? To know about your father's death, to know the source of all the tragedies?"
"I..." Toosaka Rin wanted to say that she was prepared, but looking at the other person's pitying eyes, the truth hidden beneath them made her feel pressured.
Toosaka Rin couldn't say "I'm ready". After hesitating for a moment, she said, "No, let's wait for a while... Now tell me what happened to Sakura!"
Yes, nothing else matters now. What matters is knowing what happened to Sakura!
"I can tell you this directly. Sakura's body was constantly tortured and then transformed so that she could adapt to the magic of the Matou family and the old immortality technique. To do this, Sakura had to suffer the gnaws of insects in a bug nest, etc., turning herself into a bug nest and becoming a container for the insects.
"She suffered from this from the moment she was taken away, and only after she adapted to the torture did she lead a normal life.
"As for her coming to Emiya Shirou's house, it was essentially for surveillance. After all, Emiya Shirou is Emiya Kiritsugu's child. For the current Lao Fushigi of the Matou family, it is very necessary to monitor this person who will affect the direction of the Holy Grail War."
Toosaka Rin's eyes were about to burst into flames when she heard this. She had never imagined that what her sister had encountered would be so terrible. Even though Morpheus's words were very simple, just a few short sentences, the horror in them was unimaginable.
It’s okay to call such a terrible experience hell, but my sister has never told me about this!
"No, it's my fault. I never asked her..."
Because of the damn magician family rules, she never asked these questions!
Toosaka Rin clenched her hands tightly. She wanted to find a place to vent her inner anger!
"The old man's goal, or rather his obsession, is to rely on the Holy Grail to prolong his life. So, do you think it would be great if we could completely destroy the Holy Grail in front of him, making it impossible to fight the Holy Grail War?"
On the side, Morpheus fanned the flames and talked about his plan.
If the original Toosaka Rin still needed to consider it, then now she no longer needs to consider it. She now has only one thought, which is to make that old immortal look good!
Chapter 80 This is no longer the Holy Grail War
In the next two days, Sakura Matou was still the same as before, or rather, she became the same as before, but Shirou Emiya could still notice the subtle difference. Sakura Matou would always pay attention to Morpheus intentionally or unintentionally, as if it was a habit that had been formed long ago.
Shirou Emiya did not ask about this. He felt that it was the other party's secret and he should not ask unless the other party was willing to tell it.
The days passed one by one, and after about a week, everyone finally faced their first exam, or rather, the first exam except for Toosaka Rin.
Silently watching the group of people in the room who were frantically working on their homework, Morpheus stood at the door very relaxedly, just watching.
He then looked to the other side, where stood another person, a girl named Altria.
"Are you curious?" Morpheus asked. Artoria shook her head and said, "I just think it's very strange."
She said, looking at the group of people in the room: "Whether it's Shirou, Illya, or Rin, these people should all be rivals, but here they not only live in harmony, but even worship a Servant as their teacher and learn magic knowledge together."
"It would be strange if a Servant was summoned solely for fighting, wouldn't it?" Morpheus said bluntly. "For example, you have excellent swordsmanship and practical combat experience from the cold weapon era. These are things you can teach others."
Altria shook her head: "This era doesn't need this kind of knowledge."
"That may not be the case. There are still many martial arts enthusiasts. Besides, learning swordsmanship for self-defense is also very good. Not to mention, you are from that era. Now some historical speculations can be tested by asking you. In other words, it's a historian's carnival."
Altria stared at Morpheus in a daze. She didn't expect that Morpheus would be thinking about these things.
Morpheus even smiled proudly and said, "This is much more useful than fighting and killing!"
Altria nodded helplessly. There was no way to refute these words. Fighting and killing were indeed the worst. As a king, she could be sure of this.
But, isn't this the Holy Grail War? How did it become like this? Going to school every day, then going home to study? It's like going from one school to another.
However, in addition to talking to Artoria, Morpheus looked to the other side. There was a person hiding there, watching everything that happened here, and he had been hiding like this for several days.
That is Sakura Matou's servant, named Medusa.
However, since the other party did not intend to expose himself, Morpheus did not name him. He guessed that since Sakura Matou had let Medusa watch her here for so many days, it was about time for her to come find him.
Sure enough, after about one o'clock in the evening, Medusa appeared.
The purple-haired woman with an eyepatch looked at Morpheus and said in her cold voice, "Someone wants to see you."
Her tone was cold, as if she had no emotions at all.
Morpheus asked directly, "Is it Sakura? Does she want to see me?"
"Yeah." Medusa nodded, then jumped up and left the Emiya mansion.
At this time, almost everyone in the house was asleep, and Medusa's stealth ability was indeed powerful, so the other servants were not awakened by her.
