Start with Type-Moon, but Magical Index Magician

……

In the dim room, the ruler of the Matou family, Matou Zouken, was sitting on a chair, looking out the window silently.

The sunlight from outside shone in through the gaps in the curtains, bringing a hint of warmth to the cold room. However, this little warmth could not dispel the damp feeling that permeated the old man.

The old monster who pursued immortality was full of confusion in his eyes. It had been a long time since the Holy Grail War began. How come there hadn't been the first death in several days?

No ordinary people died, no magicians died, and even no servants died. If it weren't for the news a few days ago that the streets were damaged due to unknown reasons, he would even suspect that the Holy Grail War had not yet begun.

"How could this happen?" The old immortal who had lived for hundreds of years pondered, carefully recalling everything that had happened during this period. "Sakura has always brought Medusa to school, but there has never been a fight, as if there are no Servants in the school. As for that child from the Emiya family..."

"Sakura has been going to the Emiya household quite often recently. I heard that Emiya Shirou has become the Master, but he refuses to take action and even forces Saber not to do anything...

"It's not easy for Sakura to attack secretly right now. It's right to hide for the time being. With Emiya Shirou as a distraction, maybe we can lure out other hidden Masters and Servants.

"But this is too slow. So much time has passed, why hasn't anyone come out? Where's that girl from the Tōsaka family? She can't not participate in the Holy Grail War. Could something have happened?"

As Matou Zouken thought about this, more doubts appeared in his eyes.

Finally, he sighed and looked into the distance.

"And that kid from the Holy Church? He's been hiding very well, but he's been holding it back. Isn't he planning to make a move and test it?"

No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't get an answer. Finally, Zouken Matou slowly stood up and walked into the darkness of the house.

"No, I still need to prepare. If necessary, I have to do it myself and transfer my consciousness into Sakura's body at the necessary moment.

“Although Ying has now obtained a portion of the power of the Holy Grail, it is not yet the true Holy Grail. With my strength, I can easily erase her soul.

"But let's wait for now. Let's see how things develop over the next few days. Maybe that kid from the church won't be able to hold back anymore.

"But the Clock Tower didn't send anyone this time? Maybe someone has already come, but they're just hiding. They're all a bunch of cowards, ha!

"If all else fails, I will personally raid the Emiya residence and eliminate the most troublesome Saber first!"

The old man slowly pushed open the door of the basement, and underneath was the nest of the insect swarm!

Chapter 84: Two People Who Can't Hold Back Theirself

Inside the church, Kotomine Kirei was silently looking at the scripture in front of him.

For a priest, it is normal to read scriptures when no one is around.

But besides him, there are actually other people here.

Gilgamesh, the blond man in a suit, looked at Kotomine Kirei with a mocking smile on his face.

"Last time, after that guy came to see you, you started to seem very happy, as if you had seen your lover. But now, after a few days, there has been no movement at all, and you are feeling uneasy again."

"I'm not uncomfortable," Kotomine Kirei said. He closed the Bible in his hand and looked at the so-called Ancient King. "I'm just wondering if he's different from his father. Perhaps my expectations of him are too high."

Kotomine Kirei smiled as he spoke: "After all, my father and I are different, and my daughter and I are also different."

"It's really pathetic for a woman to marry you, but maybe she's also someone with a mental problem."

Gilgamesh mocked him without any hesitation, but Kotomine Kirei did not feel dissatisfied with the mockery at all. He even nodded in agreement.

"She really has a problem. She chose to commit suicide because of someone like me."

Cu Chulainn, the blue-clad spearman standing by, listened to the conversation between the two men. He tried hard to suppress the urge to roll his eyes. If possible, he didn't want to stay here at all, and he wasn't very interested in the Holy Grail. He just wanted to find someone to fight.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished, and now he had to stay here because this damn Kotomine Kirei was his Master.

Thinking of his former master, the woman named Bazette, Cu Chulainn couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He was obviously a man with rich combat experience, but because he mistakenly trusted this man, he was attacked from behind by this man, and now his life or death is unknown.

And because of the Command Seals, he still had to stay under this man's command, which made Cu Chulainn very uncomfortable.

"If possible, I really want to shoot this guy with my own hands!" He couldn't help but think secretly.

At this time, in response to Gilgamesh's ridicule, Kotomine Kirei continued, "Actually, it's not just because of Emiya Shirou, but because the participants in this Holy Grail War are really a bit strange.

"They all hid their identities. The only ones who took the initiative to expose themselves to me were Rin and Emiya. Of course, that woman doesn't count. She's out."

Gilgamesh knew that the woman Kotomine Kirei was talking about was Bazette. Gilgamesh had originally planned to take this woman away and throw her into the basement to use as a human battery to replenish his magic power. However, when he went to look for her, he found that she had disappeared.

Kotomine Kirei seemed unconcerned about this. After all, he was the one who chopped off the opponent's hand and then casually threw the body aside, not caring about his life or death at all.

Moreover, with injuries like that, even if he could escape, he would definitely not survive.

The only thing that puzzled Gilgamesh was that not only did the other party disappear, but he couldn't even find any trace of him. This was really strange.

However, for Gilgamesh now, rather than considering this kind of thing, he cares more about something else.

"Speaking of Emiya Shirou, who is this guy's Servant?"

"I'm not sure, but judging from the time he came to ask, he only had Saber to choose from, so the Servant class he summoned must be Saber."

Gilgamesh's lips curled up at Kotomine Kirei's answer: "Saber? I'm inexplicably looking forward to it!"

When Kotomine Kirei saw this scene, he also smiled. That smile seemed as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. Everything was hidden in the smile.

Of course he knew what Gilgamesh was expecting. During the Fourth Holy Grail War, Saber, then Kiritsugu Emiya's Servant, was the legendary Knight King, but she was a woman.

Gilgamesh was attracted to her and wanted her to be his queen, but he was beaten up by her.

Gilgamesh obtained a false body by relying on the special black liquid that flowed out of the Holy Grail during the Fourth Holy Grail War, and has remained in this world ever since.

Now that he heard that the other party was Kiritsugu Emiya's child and even summoned a Saber, he must have thought of that woman.

Seeing the bored look on the blue-clad spearman standing nearby, Kotomine Kirei said, "You should investigate a bit. Go directly to Emiya Shirou's house and see what he is doing now. If possible, it would be best to test the strength of that Servant and confirm his identity.

"However, if you find that you cannot defeat them and there is a possibility of an accident, then come back immediately and don't force yourself. I am not rich enough to waste a Servant."

Cu Chulainn said nothing, and simply disappeared.

Seeing this, Gilgamesh snorted, "Why send someone there specifically? You still can't forget, huh?"

Kotomine Kirei shook his head: "I just wanted to see who his Servant was."

Hearing this, Gilgamesh raised his eyelids but said nothing more.

……

Inside Emiya Shirou's residence, everyone showed some confused and puzzled expressions.

All of this was because of the mature woman who was sitting next to him, almost sticking to Morpheus.

Just now, Morpheus introduced the other party's identity. Caster was originally supposed to be the opponent in this Holy Grail War.

Yes, they were “originally” supposed to be rivals.

Altria looked at the woman and didn't know what to say.

"I'm almost certain that what Morpheus said is true, so there's something wrong with the Holy Grail. I chose to cooperate with him, and Illya obviously wants to cooperate with Morpheus. That girl named Sakura said she'll be coming over today. At this point in time, it's possible that she's also the Master, but it's not certain yet.

"Even if she isn't, there are now three servants who have reached a cooperation. Now there's another Caster, which means there are four servants...

"If that girl named Sakura is also a Master, and it seems very likely that she will cooperate with Morpheus, then there will be five...

"So, the number of our opponents should be around two or three, and they're probably acting alone and not cooperating. I'm afraid this Holy Grail War will be completely different from the last one, and it will become a one-sided situation..."

At this time, Morpheus said again: "I'm going to cook first. When Ying comes over later, I will tell you in detail what is going on."

Hearing this, Artoria finally confirmed her guess.

"Sure enough, that girl named Sakura is also a Master!"

Chapter 85: Testing

Sakura Matou is a very strong person. Even though she has suffered a lot, she still looks at everything optimistically.

The most important thing is that she did not accept her fate, but chose to accumulate strength in secret to prepare for resistance.

This is Medusa's impression of this young girl after she was summoned and became Sakura Matou's servant for so many days.

It’s just that this girl usually puts on a fake smile at home and at school. It’s not because of any pain or hypocrisy, but to prevent people who are secretly observing her from seeing through her and thus getting into danger.

But now, her smile seemed very real. Even though she and she had a special connection as Servant and Master, Medusa could not see any falsehood.

This was indeed a real smile, a smile that came from her heart.

"Sakura, you look so happy."

Medusa didn't realize that her own voice actually sounded smiling.

"Yes, I'm very happy now, Medusa." Matou Sakura said with a smile, "Because I already announced it to everyone this morning, and big brother even asked me to come over in the evening in front of everyone, which shows that he recognizes me as a member of his current team!"

"You called my name directly." Medusa said.

In order to prevent their identities from being exposed and their abilities from being targeted, Masters often address their servants by their ranks. But now Sakura Matou has actually started calling them by their names, which surprised Medusa a little.

"Because there's no need anymore. Everyone has already started cooperating. With Big Brother's abilities, I believe the Holy Grail isn't important to him. There's nothing to worry about in this Holy Grail War."

"You trust him a lot."

"Of course. After all, I have everything I have now, and the power to protect myself was all given to me by big brother." Matou Sakura said, blinking slightly: "But now we look about the same age."

As she spoke, she fell into deep thought. Medusa, who was standing beside her, looked at Sakura Matou who was lost in thought. She could guess what she was thinking, but she didn't say it out loud.

These are the other party's business, and she has no right to interfere.

Moreover, Sakura Matou's magic, or magic, is indeed a very strange spell. Even though Medusa's own basic skills are not low, it is difficult for her to understand it. Therefore, Medusa is willing to try to believe in the man who can give this power to Sakura Matou.

But if he intended to deceive Sakura Matou... Medusa took a deep breath, clenched her hands, and was ready.

When Sakura Matou and Medusa arrived at the familiar Emiya mansion, after entering, Sakura Matou's eyes widened slightly.

There was Morpheus who was cooking, and a mysterious woman standing next to Morpheus, her whole body almost sticking to him.

This mysterious woman who looked to be in her twenties and mature made Sakura Matou feel alert.

"Who is this person? Why is she so close to big brother? And judging from her attire, she doesn't look like someone from this era. Could she also be a Servant?" Sakura Matou thought secretly in her heart, and in an instant she concentrated her magic power into her eyes, and saw the spectrum covering the other person.

It is indeed a servant, and it seems to be a servant with huge magical power!

"It looks like it should be Caster."

Matou Sakura thought about it, but she greeted Morpheus directly: "Good evening, Brother Morpheus."

"Ying is here, why don't you stay with them for a while, you can eat soon."

Sakura took off her coat and set it aside and asked, "Do you want my help?"

"No need, it's almost over." Morpheus said as he put the already prepared soup base aside and brought it to the table: "Rin suggested tonight, um, hot pot."

Medea asked doubtfully, "Hot pot?"

Matou Sakura blinked and said, "Hot pot!"

"Yes, hot pot is a stew of vegetables and meat. Since we can get together, it is suitable for eating and chatting at the same time. The key is chatting!" Morpheus said, and gently brought over the cut and washed vegetables and placed them on the table.

The long table was filled with food. In terms of quantity, it was enough for the people present to have two or three meals. Of course, the premise was that their appetite was within the range of ordinary people.

"Hot pot is indeed suitable for eating and chatting at the same time." Shirou Emiya nodded in approval.

Morpheus smiled and followed up this sentence with Tohsaka Rin: "But Rin, you actually chose hot pot. Are you planning to say something while eating?"

"No, I simply thought that this would help us discuss the Holy Grail better. After all, I'm a magician too!"

As she spoke, Rin Tohsaka glanced cautiously at Sakura Matou. Seeing that she was looking at her, she couldn't help but get a little nervous and said, "Besides, we wouldn't fight during dinner, right?"

"Senior Toosaka, are you saying that we are all not very rational?" Sakura Matou said with a smile, but Toosaka Rin didn't know how to respond for a moment. In response, Morpheus could only shrug his shoulders.

"No, Sakura, you should have read novels or anime comics or something like that. It's the kind where they say one thing and mean another, the kind where they're worried or happy on the inside, but they pretend to be tough on the outside."

Before Matou Sakura could answer, she saw Toosaka Rin glaring at Morpheus: "Who are you talking about?!"

"Well, did I mention anyone?" So, Toosaka Rin glared at Morpheus again and sat down in her seat angrily.

Seeing Tohsaka Rin's reaction, a hint of tenderness flashed in Matou Sakura's eyes, but this tenderness was quickly hidden. She also sat down and said with a smile: "By the way, who is this sister?"

She was talking about Medea.

"Hello, I'm Medea. Of course, you can also call me Caster." Medea smiled and greeted Sakura Matou.

She keenly noticed that the relationship between this girl and Morpheus was a little complicated. This girl named Sakura Matou should be very familiar with Morpheus. Perhaps the relationship between Rin Toosaka and Morpheus now is like that of a teacher and student, but the look in Sakura Matou's eyes when she looked at Morpheus was very dangerous.

"Lover? But if she's a lover, you don't have to wait until now to introduce her, right? What exactly happened between Morpheus and her?"

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Medea looked at Medusa again: "I sense a familiar aura. Are you... from the same era as me?"

Medusa shook her head, then nodded.
