This goddess has no interest in the Holy Grail War, nor does she want to take the initiative to seize the Holy Grail. She is only thinking about building her own temple and lying down to accept offerings from humans. Not only that, perhaps because of her personality, she seems quite unreliable in many things. In order to cover up the traces left unconsciously by the other party, Toosaka Rin feels exhausted.
The most annoying thing is that this goddess has no awareness that she is a trouble at all!
"I can't help it. You are so poor. In this cruel world, only treasure can bring me a little warmth."
"Woo, relying on the savings of an elementary school student, are you really a goddess?"
Toosaka Rin's cheeks puffed up as she tightly held the small bag in her clothes. The bag contained the gems she had collected since she was a child. However, since she had not yet officially entered the world of jewellery, the number was not large. Even so, it was a considerable fortune.
"Not now! I'm a goddess, so I still have some common sense. What I mean is that both you and I are fatally lacking in the attribute of the Golden Rule."
Toosaka Rin turned her head to the side, a questioning look on her face.
Although she has not had much contact with her family's property, she is still aware of the fact that her family is a prominent family in Fuyuki City. Various properties and various strange incomes allow the Tousaka family to live a rich life while maintaining the expensive gem magic training. Will she be short of money in the future?
"Why, don't you trust my judgment? I am the goddess Ishtar!"
"Who would believe the words of a goddess obsessed with money?"
“Ahhh!” Ishtar screamed madly in Toosaka Rin’s mind, “After all, it’s all because of you that I became like this! We are such a perfect match that you’ve influenced my personality! I should have been more majestic and cold!”
"Humph, you suddenly took away the control of my body and said those things on your own. I don't blame you at all."
According to Ishtar, she and Ishtar are now special beings called Pseudo-Servants. In order to ensure that both of them can live a normal life, Rin will control them during the day and Ishtar will control them at night.
At first, Toosaka Rin flatly rejected this condition, but the other party proposed a condition that made her heart move.
In exchange for gaining control of the body at night, Toosaka Rin can use the power of Ishtar as a Servant to accomplish what she wants.
"Let me make it clear first. After you finish looking at that little girl named Sakura, you will immediately give your body to me until you go to school tomorrow. I also used the excuse of going to school first to perfunctorily write a note for your mother Aoi. After this is done, the rest of the time is mine!"
"I know, but let me make it clear first, don't do anything weird with my body."
Toosaka Rin replied somewhat gloomily, saying that it was precisely because she could rely on the power of her servants that she ignored her father's ban and came to the dangerous battlefield of Fuyuki City alone.
Because she had a reason to come.
Ever since Sakura was sent away, she has never seen her sister again, even though her father said this was the best way out for Sakura and sternly warned her not to treat Sakura as her sister anymore, but as the heir of the Matou family who must be kept at a distance.
The stubborn Toosaka Rin refused to completely obey this point. Even if she couldn't touch him, it should be fine to just look at him from a distance.
Toosaka Rin recalled what happened when she just got off the train. Uncle Kariya was completely different from what she remembered. He looked thin and weak, like a zombie in a horror movie.
Although the other party's attitude was still as kind as usual, and he sent her to the tram, gave her a few instructions and then left, she still felt the chill from the bottom of her heart.
According to the fragmentary information obtained from asking my mother before, Uncle Kariya has returned to the Matou family.
Will the magic of the Matou family turn people into this?
Even though she knew that magicians were a group of paranoid and twisted people, and that there were very few magicians as good as her father, Toosaka Rin still trembled when she actually came into contact with other magicians.
"We have to go and see what's happening with Sakura."
Toosaka Rin's innate justice and kindness make it impossible for her to abandon her own sister. Even if it means breaking many taboos, she must get the answer.
"Bored humans always look for trouble. I advise you not to have too high hopes. The man we met before had a body full of disgusting bugs. If you enter a family like that, you will not have a good ending."
"You don't have to say anything..." Toosaka Rin looked at the Matou residence in front of her. There was a dark iron gate and no light in the old-fashioned building. If a horror movie used this place as a filming location, they wouldn't even need a set.
But for Toosaka Rin, the Matou House has another meaning.
This is the magic workshop that has been passed down by the Matou family for a hundred years. Invading it without permission would be tantamount to declaring war. But even so, thinking of Uncle Kariya's miserable state, who looked like a corpse, Toosaka Rin couldn't bring herself to stop.
——This is what she must do.
She took a deep breath and suppressed all her fear and anxiety. As the heir of the Tousaka family, she had to remain elegant at all times.
But at the moment when the iron gate was about to be pushed open, Toosaka Rin, as a little girl, couldn't help but seek comfort from her only support.
"Ishtar, I can use your strength."
"Of course! Although we haven't merged yet and exist as two souls in one body, as the master who has signed a contract with me, the relationship between us is very strong. According to the knowledge given by the Holy Grail, in the words of this country, we are aibo!"
"Thank you," Toosaka Rin said with a relieved look, "That's right, you are the goddess of war. In the mythology book in father's study, the Bull of Heaven you released is a powerful beast. If there is a threat to a place like the Matou family, you can crush it with one kick."
"this one……"
Suddenly, Ishtar showed an awkward yet polite expression and fell into a guilty silence.
"?"
Toosaka Rin's face turned pale, "Ishtar, you won't..."
"I lost it accidentally, hey!"
"Hey, you! Ahhh, I really can't trust you!"
"How can you blame me for this! Logically, I am the only one in this modern world, but when I went to borrow Gugalana, I found that it had been borrowed. It's unreasonable! But it doesn't matter. Without it, I am still an invincible goddess!"
"Who on earth did you learn this habit of failing at the critical moment from? Never mind! I'm going in!"
Toosaka Rin shouted in despair in her mind, and as if she had accepted her fate, she pushed open the door of the Matou family's den, which was like a devil's cave.
A new month has arrived, and I am begging for votes as usual! Thanks to Nanmu's Nan for the 10000-point reward! Thanks to Chuanghaoduanjiushouduoma for the reward!
Chapter 63: The Fall of the Matou Family
To Rin Toosaka's surprise, after pushing open the old iron door, there was still no movement in the house except for the creaking sound.
Logically speaking, after stepping into the magic workshop, one should be scanned by the barrier immediately, but the foreign-style house in front of him was still motionless.
"call--"
She officially invaded someone else's magic workshop. Even if the Matou family didn't kill her, they would teach her a lesson. Even her father wouldn't be able to blame her for this.
There was no turning back. The biting cold wind blew up her twin ponytails, but it could not extinguish the fire in her heart.
In order to confirm whether her sister was in danger, she had to do it even if it was dangerous.
"I don't feel any danger here for now, so let's just go into the house."
But Ishtar's words suddenly interrupted Toosaka Rin's determination.
"You are the master of this goddess. Do you need to say anything more about invading a magician's workshop? We are not here to steal. We are just checking on your sister."
"Hmph, you don't need to say anything more!"
Although she had previously disliked this goddess for being a little off the mark, in this situation, Toosaka Rin still felt comforted by having someone to rely on. She returned to her previous state, shook her twin ponytails, walked up to the villa in her leather shoes, which made crisp clacking sounds on the stone road, and gently pushed open the door.
To Rin Toosaka's surprise, compared to the weird and scary exterior, the interior of the Matou house looked quite bright and beautiful. Although a little old, it was not scary.
But Toosaka Rin did not dare to take it lightly. Even if it was her father, who came to the magic workshop run by others for hundreds of years, his life and death were not in his own hands, let alone her who was still an apprentice. If she had not relied on the power of Ishtar, she would not dare to be so bold.
But even after she walked around several rooms in the villa, she didn't see any human figures, or even any signs of life. It was as if this was an empty haunted house from the very beginning.
After hearing that Uncle Kariya's body was filled with bugs, she thought that the inside of the Matou family was filled with bugs, but she didn't expect it to be so normal.
But considering that her house is the same, with the workshop set up underground and the outer layer only used for daily living, this is not surprising.
Soon, she found the unusual target.
The stairs were filled with a foul smell and seemed to lead to an abyss. Toosaka Rin walked quickly down the stairs. Halfway down, she heard a creaking sound, like the chirping of insects.
Then she pushed open the door at the bottom of the stairs, and a foul stench and water vapor filled the air. It was dark and turbid, like a rolling wave of mud, surging just a few steps below the stairs away from the door.
The chirping, crawling, and sticky sounds of insects colliding intertwined together to create a distorted and disgusting melody.
"Is this the magic path that Ying wants to inherit?"
Toosaka Rin covered her mouth and held her breath so as not to vomit on the spot, but tears still welled up in her eyes.
Even just seeing this swarm of insects made her feel desperate. If she were to fall and let those insects drill into her body, her spirit would collapse, right?
"cherry……"
She couldn't imagine what kind of torture her sister had suffered, nor what kind of situation the other person was in now. What made Toosaka Rin even more disgusted was that she actually felt a little relieved in her heart, relieved that her father had chosen her.
Even if it was just a momentary thought, Toosaka Rin had never hated herself so much.
Her body trembled subconsciously because of anger, pain, and self-blame.
And at this moment, the dense swarm of insects slowly rolled up, and a thin and dry figure emerged.
"What an impolite little girl! As the heir of the Tousaka family, she invaded the Matou family without saying hello and even broke into the core inheritance of the workshop."
A hoarse voice came from the old man in the center of the swarm.
"But, this way, even if I teach you a lesson, Toosaka won't have any complaints, right?"
The corner of Matou Zouken's mouth curled up slightly and he made a mocking sound.
Originally, he was feeling depressed about that stupid bastard Kariya and his missing allies, but he didn't expect that someone would come to him right away to vent his emotions.
Along with the sounds of Matou Zouken, the dense and overlapping swarms of insects around also began to stir, causing waves. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, seeing this disgusting scene with her own eyes still made Toosaka Rin shudder, and she felt a chill rushing up from her tailbone.
And Matou Zouken's disgusting gaze, which was full of malice and greed, made her feel even more uncomfortable, but even so, she could not retreat.
Toosaka Rin asked in a trembling voice: "Where's Sakura? What did you do to Sakura?"
"Sakura?" Seeing Toosaka Rin's reaction, Matou Zouken could only let out a cold sigh from his throat.
"You are still so concerned about the people of the Matou family. It seems that Tousaka Tokiomi is also immature and has not taught you the rules of a magician."
Matou Zouken smiled kindly, like a kind old grandfather, but his words were filled with cruel malice.
"It's too late to confirm this after a year, but it doesn't hurt to tell you that the child no longer belongs to Matou."
"What do you mean?"
Toosaka Rin's pupils suddenly shrank, and she threw away all the fear in her heart and asked in a stern tone.
"Of course she is. She failed in her attempt to inherit the Matou family, so she can no longer be called a member of the Matou family."
"Failed? Where is she?"
The excessive pressure made her heart feel like it was being gripped. She did not bother to conceal her emotions and exposed all her inner anxiety.
"Isn't she right under your feet?"
The corners of Matou Zouken's mouth suddenly opened up, his face full of anticipation. Over the years, he had become full of evil taste, and this was also a means for him to obtain entertainment. He tapped the crutch lightly, and the swimming swarm of insects slowly separated, revealing a few sections of white bones that had not been completely eaten.
Toosaka Rin's expression was suddenly shattered into despair, pain, and depression. Her tears continued to flow as if a dam had burst.
The corners of Matou Zouken's mouth became even more crooked, and his smile deteriorated once again, revealing the rottenness that could not be concealed.
The next moment, purple-black light pierced through his head.
Toosaka Rin unconsciously raised her hand and used the curse bullet that she was best at. Even though she was still young, with her talent, this basic magic had a power comparable to that of a bullet.
"Just the most basic curse can be so powerful. I am looking forward to your future even more. It might have been better if you were the one who sent it to me. However, since you took the initiative to attack, I will engrave the true meaning of the Matou family's magic into your body before letting you go!"
The swarm of insects quickly replaced the missing part of Zouken Matou's head. Countless tiny sounds also sounded regularly behind him. The chaotic tide of insects was as orderly as an army under Zouken Matou's command.
"Bam—!"
The door behind Toosaka Rin also closed heavily, making the atmosphere even more desperate.
But she just stared blankly at the broken bones, stretched out her hand, wiped away her tears, and expressed her emotions in a low voice.
"Ishtar, destroy this place."
"Happy to oblige!"
Gorgeous spiritual clothing exuded boundless aura as Ishtar slowly flew up into the sky. She grasped the strange large bow beside her with one hand and crushed three gems between her fingers with the other hand, allowing the abundant magic power to flow into the bow.
The huge amount of magic power spread out, allowing her to easily rush out of the roof and look down at Matou Zouken in the insect cave.
"Servant? Wait, is this a misunderstanding? The eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family, Sakura, is still..."
The next moment, a dazzling light fell into the insect cave like a meteor, bursting out, swallowing up everything around it along with the hissing tide of insects!
Chapter 64 The Talisman Delivered to Your Door
"I didn't expect to waste three gems here, but it was worth it to destroy this disgusting mansion."
Ishtar slowly descended, looked at her masterpiece, nodded with satisfaction, and when she didn't get a response from her mind, she said helplessly.
"Rin, don't worry so much. You have such excellent qualifications. As a twin, your sister won't be much worse. That disgusting monster shouldn't kill her so easily. Maybe she is waiting for you to save her."
"Thank you, Ishtar."
Toosaka Rin's voice was still a little depressed, but her mood had improved a lot, which made Ishtar feel a little relieved.
"But that old guy is really disgusting. Do you want to go find his real body?"
