Zongman, the history of a devil's rise

I don’t know if the same is true for other contractors.

Anyway, as a demon, Vitan was quite aware of the sour emotional changes in Lancelot's body.

"But if that's the case, Lancelot, you seem to be quite lucky."

After completely walking out of the cave, Vitan chuckled and spoke out loud.

"You should be able to get what you want this time."

Hearing Vitan's words, Lancelot's eyes hidden under the helmet suddenly shrank, and an expression of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"Really? After all these times, I finally met the king."

In order to successfully atone his sins to Artoria, he continuously accepted the summons of one contractor after another and became a heroic spirit, just to be able to appear on the same battlefield with Artoria.

But it was not until recently that he suddenly woke up.

When his king was summoned, he was definitely summoned with the job of Saber, or at the very least, with the job of Lancer.

If I continue to accept summons as Saber, the chance of meeting the King is too low.

This is one of the reasons why he appears as Berserker.

"Master, I know that as a Servant, it is extremely rude to make such a request."

"But I hope to fulfill my long-cherished wish, I beg you."

Arriving at the last corner of the stairs, Lancelot, having calmed down his excitement, appeared directly.

"of course."

Vitan also stopped and looked calmly at Lancelot who was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

"Since I have chosen to wake you up from your frenzy, I have made this decision."

"But you have to understand that if I agree to your request, you must win the war and kill all of them except King Arthur. Is that clear?"

Lancelot lowered his head deeply.

The voice was extremely firm and serious.

"Yes, it will definitely bring you victory."

Chapter 4 k Things That Cannot Be Asked

Lancelot hid himself again.

Vitan also returned to the second floor and saw the little girl who had been waiting in the corner of the room, looking forward to it.

"elder brother!!"

This was a clear cry of surprise, and one could clearly see the joy that was rising in Sakura's heart the moment she saw Vitan appear.

"Come on, Sakura, your demons are over."

As he spoke, Vitan bent down, picked up Sakura, and left this hellish place that only brought her pain and almost completely ruined her future in the original work.

The Matou family also completely disappeared in Fuyuki City in this winter with the last magic bullet fired by Vitan before leaving.

……

On the hilly area of ​​Miyama Town, there is a house that looks very luxurious.

A man wearing a red suit, dressed very casually, with a well-groomed moustache and exuding aristocratic elegance, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window holding a glass of red wine.

He usually keeps a calm and composed look, strictly abiding by the elegant family motto, but now his brows are deeply furrowed.

"What's going on? That direction should be the direction of the Matou family."

"How could such a huge fluctuation of magic power occur?"

That's right, this man is Tōsaka Tokiomi.

The one who claimed that everything was Tokimi's fault, Tōsaka Tokiomi.

He was just sipping red wine leisurely on the sofa when he felt a huge magical fluctuation from the southeast.

To be honest, the distance between the Matou house and the Toosaka house is quite far.

Even for him, it would be impossible to feel what was happening in the Matou residence from this distance.

Even from here, he had clearly only sensed it unintentionally.

The terrifying and overwhelming magic power had already made his face look solemn.

"What's going on? Did Caster show up?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi made such a guess as if he was talking to himself, but the next second, he immediately overturned it.

"That's not right. The Matou family will not participate in the Holy Grail War this time."

"They don't have any suitable contestants. Is there any need to attack the Matou family?"

It is precisely because the Matou family no longer has a suitable magician that he chose to adopt Sakura to the Matou family.

He knows the most about this matter.

"Kirei, what do you think about this matter?"

In the shadowy corner of the room, following Tōsaka Tokiomi's call, a man walked out. He was neatly dressed, had short brown hair, and no expression on his face or pupils.

"It's possible that the Matou family themselves offended someone."

"It is also possible that the Matou family hired mercenaries to participate in this Holy Grail War on their behalf."

"But no matter which situation it is, I think it is necessary for the Matou family to investigate."

Having said this, Kotomine Kirei took another step and walked a few steps forward.

"After all, no matter what, Master, your daughter is now being raised by the Matou family."

"If anything happens to the Matou family, you can bring your daughter back."

Maybe it was Kotomine Kirei's sudden mention of it, or maybe it was something else.

If you look at it from the front, you can clearly see that Toosaka Tokiomi's brows are even more deeply furrowed.

"Sakura?"

The image of his own daughter, whom he had sent away with a tough attitude a year ago, suddenly emerged in Tousaka Tokiomi's mind.

A long time passed like this.

"Let's do this, Qi Li, please send Assassin to investigate the current situation of the Matou family."

However, after thinking about it, Tōsaka Tokiomi added this sentence.

"But Qi Li, you must pay attention to your manners and remind Assassin not to show up and be discovered unless something happens to the Matou family."

"I know, teacher."

"For Assassin, hiding his presence and getting close to the enemy is what he is good at."

"Please don't worry about that."

Kotomine Kirei still had an expressionless look on his face. He showed no respect for his teacher, nor did he show any other expression.

"Assassin, I think you heard it."

The voice that accompanied Kotomine Kirei's words rang out.

A male figure wearing a skull mask appeared directly beside Kotomine Kirei.

"Yes, Master Qi Li, I will do it now."

The man wearing a skull mask and a black cloak only appeared for a moment, but in the next moment, he merged back into the shadows and disappeared as if he had never appeared at all.

"Speaking of which, Qi Li!"

"How has Father Risei been preparing lately?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi changed the subject and asked something else.

This ruthless look was just like what was mentioned in the previous topic, as if the daughter he had given away was not worth his excessive attention.

But this appearance does seem to fit the definition of him.

After all, if a guy can ruthlessly give his daughter to someone else to raise, would you expect him to put family affection first?

"Father is ready."

"He also asked me to tell you that the Holy Grail War is about to begin and the seven Masters have all been selected."

"Once the Master of the Einzbern family arrives, the Holy Grail War will begin immediately."

Tōsaka Tokiomi nodded his head, his expression calm and indifferent.

"It's finally about to begin."

About once every sixty years, the spiritual energy in the earth's veins of Fuyuki City accumulates to a level sufficient to support the advent of the Holy Grail. The advent of the Holy Grail, which can grant any wish, is the Holy Grail War.

This was planned by the Einzbern family, the Tousaka family, and the Matou family.

They provided technology or location, etc.

However, since it is a struggle within the scope of rules, it requires an arbitrator, an arbitrator who defines the rules and restricts everyone.

After all, who are the people who can participate in this war? Heartless and ungrateful magicians, and heroic spirits who cannot be understood from the perspective of ordinary people.

no doubt.

If there were no adjudicators to restrict them, there's no telling how much panic these guys would cause in the real world.

At that time, the three families selected the godfathers of the Cathedral Church in Fuyuki City.

At that time, their predecessors somehow reached a cooperation with the fathers of the Templar Church, who were supposed to be their enemies.

Every generation of the Holy Sepulchre Fathers will become the judge of a Holy Grail War.

But everyone knows that the so-called arbitrator is supposed to be fair and open.

Fairness is an adjudicator's top priority.

The past godfather of the Cathedral Church in Fuyuki City did exactly that, and that was correct.

But in this era, the current godfather of the Holy Church has obviously been in collusion with Toosaka Tokiomi, a participant in the Holy Grail War.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you with one more thing tomorrow, Qi Li."

"Originally I wanted to let you take a day off tomorrow, but now time is a little tight, so I have to trouble you to help me make the trip."

After drinking the red wine in the glass, Tōsaka Tokiomi put down the glass in his hand and naturally put his hands behind his back.

"I understand, teacher."

"Then please allow me to go down now and make some preparations for tomorrow."

Kotomine Kirei bowed slightly.

Toosaka Tokiomi also nodded slightly.

"That's all. Thank you for your help, Qi Li!"

Kotomine Kirei gently opened the door of the room, without making any sound, and left with Tōsaka Tokiomi's permission.

"What happened?"

Shortly after Kotomine Kirei left.

A woman with long light green hair, wearing a light green long skirt, with an elegant and delicate appearance and very polite manners, who looked like a Yamato Nadeshiko, appeared here.

"Tokiomi, what's wrong?"

The beautiful woman with elegant manners came to Tōsaka Tokiomi's side but did not speak directly.

Instead, he first sorted out the red wine glass and red wine bottle that Tōsaka Tokiomi had placed on the table, and then he spoke to Tōsaka Tokiomi:

"Nothing, Aoi!"

Still exactly the same.

Even when his wife came over, Tōsaka Tokiomi was still the same as before, without any change at all.

Still pretending to be a graceful and noble aristocrat.

"I just have something to tell you, so put down what you're holding first."
