Type-Moon, I, Matou Sakura, rewrite my destiny

The midsummer afternoon sun is so dazzling.

After finishing this so-called family dinner, the father and son, Matou Tsuruno and Shinji, started to get busy again.

"Sakura...I...I'm going to learn Ninjutsu from Master Orochimaru..."

"Yeah, go ahead, Shinji-nii, do your best!"

Looking at Shinji, who usually has a cheerful face but often blushes and even stammers when facing her, Sakura probably knows that Orochimaru is brainwashing Shinji. She smiled sweetly at Shinji, raised her little fist to her chest, and made a cheering gesture to Shinji.

After giving Shinji a sweet smile and cheering him on, Sakura turned around and also smiled sweetly, and generously said "Come on" to Matou Tsuruno.

Shinji was naturally encouraged by Sakura's action, and Matou Tsuruno seemed to feel the same way, but... deep in Matou Tsuruno's eyes, there seemed to be a deep sadness at this moment.

"Uncle Tsuruno is indeed a smart man, but the smarter he is, the more he knows his place... Don't worry, although it is true that I am using Shinji and you uncles... but I am not treating you as cannon fodder.

The future butler of the Matou family and my guardian knight!

Sakura caught the sadness in Tsuruno's eyes and thought so in her heart. She did not choose to find a corner where no one was to explain to Tsuruno. After all, time will prove everything to Sakura...

Just after the father and son, Matou Tsuruno and Shinji, left with different feelings.

Turning his head to look at Sakura, who had been following Zouken Matou closely since dinner, the sweet smile he had been pretending to have disappeared, replaced by an expressionless look.

"Come on, Grandpa. We should go check on the Greater Holy Grail."

After giving Sakura a meaningful look, Matou Zouken's wrinkled face, which looked so old that it looked like it was no longer human, immediately forced out a kind expression after hearing Sakura's order.

"Hehehe...Grandpa will lead the way for you right now."

It was as if a grandfather in his seventies or eighties was really going out with his granddaughter who was a few years old.

Sakura, wearing a pure white dress and a lace sun hat, looked like a little princess. She quietly held the hem of Zouken Matou's kimono and followed him out of the Matou residence and into the busy streets of Fuyuki City...

7. Analyze the Holy Grail.

A deep, dark natural underground cave that no one has entered for hundreds of years.

The boiling magic power that is constantly gathering here tortures anyone who dares to enter the cave every minute and every second.

However, even such a harsh environment could not stop the intruders.

Several fluorescent insects surrounded it.

With the help of the fluorescent light emitted by the insects, Sakura and Matou Zouken walked in the rugged cave. Although they could feel their magic circuits were burning hot and their skin was burned red by the heated air in the cave, they still had no intention of stopping...

Sakura took a painful breath of the turbid and scalding air, her whole face turning red unconsciously. Looking at the unchanging scenery around her, she couldn't help but ask Matou Zouken who was leading the way.

"Huh~ Grandpa, how long do we have to walk?"

"I don't know either... I have long forgotten my memory of this place, but if we follow the direction where the magic power converges, we will definitely see the Holy Grail..."

When Zouken Matou said he didn't know, Sakura naturally wouldn't completely believe it, even if such a possibility did exist.

But it does not mean that Zouken Matou must have lied this time.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as we can successfully reach the end of the cave where the Holy Grail is, that’s enough.

Sakura pursed her cracked lips, clearly feeling that she was dehydrated. After hearing Zouken Matou's answer, she nodded calmly.

"Okay, let's keep going!"

I walked along the cave again in silence for more than ten minutes.

Finally, when Sakura's young body was about to reach its limit.

A golden light appeared in Sakura's field of vision.

"Is this... the light from the Greater Holy Grail?"

"Hehehe... maybe, but this old body of Sakura can't hold on any longer..."

Zouken Matou's signature weird laugh rang out. At this moment, Zouken Matou was walking in front of Sakura and had been clearing the way for Sakura since they entered the cave. As soon as he finished saying the above words, he fell straight to the ground with a thud.

Then, a thick liquid filled with a foul smell began to seep out of Matou Zouken's body, and soon only the kimono that had long been soaked with sweat was left....

"Have you really reached your limit? Or do you not want the Winter Saint to see you in your current state?"

"Shut up. You don't need me to confirm whether the Holy Grail is contaminated. Just go in by yourself. I need to rest. If you must have me accompany you, then remove the seal you put on me..."

Looking at the fat worm lying on a rock, emitting a crazy aura and yelling at him...

Even though Zouken Matou's attitude at this moment did make Sakura a little annoyed...but Zouken Matou's state also surprised Sakura.

Perhaps this is the little bit of truth left in Matou Zouken's corrupted soul...

At this moment, Sakura actually felt that Matou Zouken was a little bit like a human!

"Well, if I don't want to go, then I won't go. Grandpa, please don't be angry... But I was thinking that after hundreds of years, the three great families with the blood of Zorgon, Tousaka, and Einzbern flowing in their bodies could gather again in front of the Greater Holy Grail."

"Hmph~!"

Matou Zouken's cold snort echoed in the cave.

The playful smile on Sakura's face grew brighter.

'It's really interesting. It's a pity that this old guy has forgotten so much. If he still remembered the original purpose of the three of them, he would probably be crying now... It's a pity that I couldn't appreciate such a 'beautiful view'... How interesting it would be if a bug could cry...'

Sakura glanced at Zouken Matou who was unwilling to move forward no matter what and felt a little regretful. She shook her head and then silently recited the Huangting Sutra in her heart. She stopped teasing Zouken Matou and walked towards the end of the cave where the golden light came from.

"What am I afraid of... Why do I feel confused and guilty when I come here... I even want to be free... Immortality, it must be immortality... It must be because I haven't achieved immortality yet... Justisa Rizleich von Einzbern, Tousaka Nagato... Only I will get everything in the end... It must be like this!"

At the end of the cave, the temperature of the air has probably reached nearly 50 degrees due to the friction of the magic power converging here at a high speed. At the same time, the magic power that fills the cave is probably hot enough to burn ordinary magicians when they come here.

As a mere little girl, a loli, if it weren't for the fact that the little bit of energy that Sakura had just cultivated was strong enough, Sakura would probably have fallen halfway.

However, when Sakura arrived at the Greater Holy Grail and witnessed Type-Moon's miracle with her own eyes, the energy that she must have just cultivated was not enough for Sakura to hold on.

He drowsily glanced at the 'system' light screen in front of him that only he could see.

Unconsciously, Sakura, who had accumulated 1200 destiny points again by changing the Matou family, spent these destiny points without hesitation.

“The system restores me to my best condition and helps me analyze its condition at the same time.”

[Understood. I will do as you say.]

Be it analyzing the Greater Holy Grail or restoring Sakura, for the 'system', such things are naturally easy. In just a blink of an eye, Sakura was restored to her best condition.

The results of the analysis of the Holy Grail also appeared on the light curtain along with the descending destiny point on the light curtain.

A casual glance at the results of the "system" analysis.

Looking at the various densely packed data, spells, and runes marked on the light screen... Sakura couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

Although for unknown reasons, the analyzed Holy Grail still cannot be directly exchanged through the temple.

But this information is enough.

late at night.....

The basement of the Matou family.

At a table that was temporarily moved into the basement.

With the help of Orochimaru, Matou Zouken re-entered a clone body and was looking at the information on the table in front of him in amazement, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.

However, Sakura, who was sitting opposite him, was completely different. Unlike the excitement flashing in Matou Zouken's eyes, Sakura's eyes were more solemn and worried.

The Holy Grail...is not tainted.

This is the answer obtained through system scanning of data in the afternoon!

8. Worst case scenario, Chaldea timeline.

The Holy Grail was not tainted.

What does this mean...?

Although there is a world line where the Holy Grail is not contaminated, theoretically there should be many in the Type-Moon world, and if the Holy Grail is not contaminated, it is probably a good thing...

But this is not the case for Sakura.

Because Sakura knows of not many timelines in which the Holy Grail was not contaminated, and among them, the one that best fits her current situation is perhaps the one - the timeline of the birth of Chaldea.

Of course, it is still difficult to determine whether Sakura is currently in the timeline where Chaldea is located.

After all, the old director took Solomon to participate in the Holy Grail War in 2004.

And now...next year, that is, 1994, the Greater Holy Grail will complete the accumulation of magic power and start the Holy Grail War.

In other words, at present, there is a high probability that Sakura is not on the timeline of the birth of Chaldea.

But... there is no absolute answer to this kind of thing right now.

There is still nearly a year left, and no one knows whether there will be any problems with the Holy Grail, which will delay the Holy Grail War by ten years.

Even if it is not the timeline of the birth of Chaldea that Sakura is familiar with, the fact that the Holy Grail has not been contaminated has to some extent eliminated Sakura's advantage as a prophet.

Therefore, the answer that the Holy Grail was not contaminated was not what Sakura wanted.

Just as Sakura handed over the Holy Grail data analyzed today to the excited Matou Zouken with a longing look in his eyes, asking him to organize and analyze the current state of the Holy Grail, as well as the rituals used to construct the Holy Grail.

In the Toosaka residence, Sakura's former home, Toosaka Tokiomi, who had long since begun planning for the Holy Grail War, at this moment had an expression of great astonishment on his face.

"What is going on....This is impossible!"

Completely losing his usual elegance and composure, as if the end of the world had come, Tōsaka Tokiomi stood up from the dining table in disbelief with a look of astonishment on his face, and then, ignoring the questions and concerned looks from his wife and children, he rushed to his study without looking back.

Just now, when Tōsaka Tokiomi was about to enjoy a brief family happiness with his family.

The ground veins of the entire Fuyuki City stopped flowing due to unknown reasons.

On the surface of the East China Sea.

Near the key leyline nodes where the continental leylines flow to the Japanese islands.

A mysterious looking, noble-looking magician, who looked like an aristocrat from 18th century London, was now standing quietly above the vast waves, manipulating several veins on the seabed with his own will.

"The abnormal distortion should be able to return to normal... It's just strange, why is there an abnormal distortion at this time that is about to become a singularity..."

As he spoke, the mysterious man adjusted the green hat on his head, and then he seemed to decompose and turned into a ball of red photons, which dissipated on the waves of the East China Sea.

For the mysterious man, the process and behavior of adjusting the earth veins.

Not to mention Tōsaka Tokiomi in Fuyuki City, even the world's top magicians were unable to detect it at all.

However, the news of the abnormality in Japan's earth veins was spread throughout the world by magicians living in the Far East in the following days.

A few days later, at Matou's house.

In the study room that symbolizes the head of the Matou family, Sakura, who was flipping through various Taoist books, saw Matou Zouken suddenly breaking in with a sullen face. She was surprised and suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Sakura... the ley lines... there's something wrong with the ley lines throughout Japan!"

He took the information handed over by Matou Zouken.

When Sakura saw the words "ten years" specially marked on the newspaper, she was stunned as if struck by lightning.

ten years....

At this time, there is only less than a year left before the Holy Grail completes its accumulation of magic power and starts the Holy Grail War...

And if the vast majority of Japan's earth veins really stop flowing for ten years as this intelligence says...

It is almost certain that the next Holy Grail War will be held in...2004.

2004.......This is the timeline of Chaldea!

Following these words, they appeared in Sakura's mind like thunder.

Similar to Zouken Matou's expression at this moment, Sakura's face turned pale in an instant.

This is undoubtedly the worst news.

After all, what Sakura has to do is to rewrite her fate, which means rewriting the plot and history.

Doing this in other world lines might attract some unknown and mysterious guys, or attract guardians with restraining power.

But these are not unsolvable problems. What's more, Sakura even has the possibility of cooperation with those people.
