Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

87

Chapter 87: Shinji-kun, are you going to accept it or not?

"I lost."

Red A was lying among the rubble. Even though he looked like he was about to die, he still managed to pose with ease.

"Kill or shave, it's up to you. The loser has no right to choose."

"Then call me Lord Jason."

Having won the duel, Jason stood proudly in front of Red A, and was then hit on the head by Toosaka Rin's gem.

"You act like a hero, but you didn't win. Aren't you ashamed?"

"I was the one who called out Hercules. Just because he's strong doesn't mean I'm strong!"

Jason didn't care at all that his limelight was completely stolen by Hercules.

"Emiya-san, what do you say?"

Toosaka Rin still felt that the fact that she summoned herself was too magical. Killing her past self just because she was dissatisfied with her future was a bit crazy no matter how she thought about it.

Toosaka Rin said she couldn't understand, but she respected it.

"Tousaka-san, you're still going to participate in the Holy Grail War, right?"

Shirou Emiya did not suffer the murder and pursuit of Cu Chulainn as in the original timeline, nor did he know that the fire ten years ago was caused by the Holy Grail, so he still had no real feeling about the Holy Grail War. After all, the rules now have become playing cards.

"This guy is at least somewhat useful. Let him use his remaining energy to protect you. I intend to hand over the Command Spells to you and withdraw directly from the Holy Grail War."

Shirou Emiya doesn't want to see this future self again. He is now worried about the repair of his own wall and warehouse. Before he became a partner of justice, he was still a high school student and had to make a living.

"Really……"

Tōsaka Rin initially showed a look of surprise, but her graceful demeanor quickly calmed her down. She cleared her throat with two light coughs, "But the Tōsaka family wouldn't do such a thing as taking advantage of someone in distress. You were chosen by the Holy Grail for a reason of your own. Let's discuss the details with the Holy Grail War Supervisor tonight. Whether you want to continue or withdraw, make your decision after understanding the situation."

"By the way, where's Sakura? Didn't Sakura come to your place today?"

After the battle she finally remembered her purpose.

Toosaka Rin has been busy preparing for the Holy Grail War recently, and she only glanced at Sakura twice when she passed by the archery club. When she didn't see Sakura, she had to give up. Now the only thing she could think of was to ask Shirou Emiya about Sakura's whereabouts.

"Sakura? It does seem strange that you should say that."

Emiya Shirou didn't know the relationship between Toosaka Rin and Matou Sakura. He was a little surprised why Toosaka Rin was so concerned about Sakura's whereabouts, but he still told her everything he knew, "After being missing for a while, she came back to school two days ago. I felt that she looked much better. Maybe she went out to relax? But she really hasn't come to my place since she came back. Shinji told me that she hasn't even been back to the Matou family."

"I've never been back...it's okay this way."

Toosaka Rin thought about what Toosaka Tokiomi said. It was indeed a good thing that Sakura could stay away from that hell, but the timing was a little too delicate.

Maybe Sakura has also become the Master, so she must go to the Matou family now no matter what. Toosaka Rin is now going to verify her father's words.

"Emiya, please ask for leave for me! I have something to do today so I won't be going to school!"

Pulling along Jason, who was currently mocking Red A, Tōsaka Rin headed towards the Matou residence. She couldn't wait until night to act. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

"No, we are not in the same class..."

Shirou Emiya didn't have time to call out to the hurried Tōsaka Rin. He looked at his unrecognizable courtyard and let out a long sigh.

After a long silence, Emiya Shirou turned his gaze to Red A, who was pretending to be dead on the ground. "You can't kill me for the time being. After all, this is where you used to live, right? I'll leave the maintenance to you. I still have to go to school..."

When Toosaka Rin arrived at Matou's house, the girl with blue seaweed hair was just about to go out to school.

Seeing Rin Tousaka running towards him, Matou Shinji made a showy move. He was overconfident and overly self-deprecating, and he couldn't hide his thoughts at all: "Isn't this Rin? If you come to pick me up from school, you have to make an appointment~"

"Just in time!"

Toosaka Rin directly grabbed Matou Shinji's wrist and pulled him into her arms.

"Eh?! Rin, you're so dominant..."

Shinji Matou was surprised and happy. He had been coveting Rin Tohsaka for a long time, but unfortunately he was happy too early.

Taking advantage of Matou Shinji's unstable center of gravity, Rin Tohsaka delivered a powerful elbow strike that landed squarely on his abdomen. If she hadn't been worried about killing him, Rin Tohsaka would have aimed for his heart.

Matou Shinji's eyes nearly popped out of his head, a mixture of emotions welling up in his stomach. The intense pain prevented him from even crying out in pain, tears streaming uncontrollably from his tear glands.

As Toosaka Rin let go, Matou Shinji collapsed to the ground like a limp shrimp.

Jason, who arrived late, walked over and lifted Matou Shinji up by his hair, his handsome face full of ruffian look: "Our big sister is asking you a question! If you dare to say no, I will sink you under the Fuyuki Bridge as a human stake!"

"Then you... ask!"

Shinji Matou coughed up a mouthful of blood, wanting to cry but having no tears.

"...Rin, didn't you ask?"

"I only had time to throw one punch, so I definitely didn't have time to ask. And please don't act like a gangster, okay?"

Toosaka Rin flexed her wrists. She had actually wanted to teach this "harmless" guy a lesson for a long time. However, she had to appear well-mannered and consider the historical legacy of both families.

Since you are here to call for punishment, there is no need to be too particular.

"No, you didn't even ask, why did you hit him?"

Jason rolled his eyes.

"My pleasure!"

Toosaka Rin raised her fist and waved it back and forth in front of Matou Shinji. Her close combat performance was also excellent.

"Let me ask you, where is Sakura now?"

"I do not know!"

Speaking of Sakura, Shinji Masashi seemed to recall something scary.

"She hasn't been home for days. I don't know where she found a crazy, snake-like woman as her bodyguard. That crazy woman almost killed me!"

This was similar to the information provided by Emiya Shirou, and Toosaka Rin did not make things difficult for him.

"Then the second question..."

At this moment, a childish voice sounded from behind Toosaka Rin.

"Excuse me, big sister, are you looking for Matou Sakura too? Illya is looking for her too. She's been waiting for two days but hasn't seen any sign of her. Illya is very distressed."

A little girl with white hair and red eyes appeared in Rin Toosaka's sight, followed by a voluptuous woman. Her two huge fruits, wrapped in tight purple clothes, bounced up and down slightly with her steps.

Chapter 88: Sakura stole Illya’s man?

Illya's overly distinctive appearance immediately exposed her identity.

"You're from the Einzbern family...?"

"Master, be careful, that extra-large woman is a Servant! She's not even on the same level as that red Archer who's been making things difficult for me. She's very powerful!"

Jason moved Matou Shinji in front of him, so that if a fight broke out, Matou Shinji could serve as the first buffer zone, fully utilizing his remaining value.

Facing Jason's hostility, Minamoto no Raikou drew the Doujikiri Yasutsuna from his waist, and dense purple lightning spread across the blade.

"It makes sense. The Einzbern family will not give up the opportunity to participate in the Holy Grail War."

Toosaka Rin was not surprised. She secretly held a handful of gems behind her back, ready to fight at any time.

"Master of the Einzbern family, why are you looking for Matou Sakura?"

"That's too troublesome. Just call me Illya."

Illya walked up to Matou Shinji. She had never seen this guy in the timeline ten years ago. If she had known that it was Rin Tōsaka who was waiting for her, she would have taken action herself. "As for why I'm looking for Matou Sakura, it's because she stole my things. I want to take them back from her!"

Illya had long since discovered the altered rules of the Holy Grail War, a fact she was already familiar with. Such a situation meant someone had been successfully summoned. In this timeline, Jiang You had only two people connected: her and Matou Sakura. She naturally assumed that Matou Sakura had stolen Jiang You's summons.

"Took your things?"

Toosaka Rin couldn't imagine how Sakura could possibly steal something from a child, but Illya looked so confident. Given the financial resources of the Einzbern, the probability of her making up such a story was also very small. "Whatever she took, the Tosaka family can return it to you on her behalf."

"You can't give it to me."

Illya shook her head. "You can't give me what I want."

Illya's refusal to negotiate made Toosaka Rin ready for battle. She was considering whether to attack Illya directly here to help Sakura deal with this dangerous factor. While thinking, Toosaka Rin's magic power began to flow.

Minamoto no Raikou is extremely sensitive to the situation of her Master and she will not allow anyone to threaten her "child".

"What are you going to do to Illya!"

The purple lightning became more dense, and Minamoto no Raikou was about to launch an attack.

"Berserker, stop!"

It was still daytime and Illya didn't want to start a fight directly, and her target was not Toosaka Rin. After all, after obtaining the Soul Crystal, the entire Einzbern family's desire to obtain the Holy Grail was greatly reduced. Illya actually just came here to find someone and question the purple vixen by the way.

"Illya, why do you call me that? It won't be exposed..."

Minamoto no Raikou seemed to have suffered a severe blow because of a name.

"Berserker?"

Illya broke out in a cold sweat. Minamoto no Raikou was a powerful and cooperative Servant, able to communicate normally even at EX-level berserk. However, outside of combat, she had her own unique train of thought, something Illya had experienced profoundly over the past two days. She seemed to have some special obsession.

She was originally a servant who regarded herself as a mother. After seeing that her Master was a little girl who longed for maternal love, her heavy possessiveness similar to maternal love could no longer be suppressed.

Minamoto no Raikou looked as if he was about to cry, showing the sadness of a young mother abandoned by her children and husband.

"……Mother."

Finally, Illya gave in. Her face flushed as she shouted out these two words. After all, she had given in many times in the past two days, but it was too embarrassing to shout them out in front of others.

"Good boy!"

Minamoto no Raikou held Illya in his arms, and the two rich fruits wrapped Illya's face tightly.

"...Does she want to kill her own Master?"

Although he said this, Jason drooled with envy as he watched Illya begin to struggle.

Rin Tōsaka covered her face. She felt that every Servant in this Holy Grail War was more abnormal than the last. Caster, completely unaware of his magus status, had exposed the happenings of the other world to the public. Archer was obsessed with destroying his former self and proving the Grandmother Paradox. And Berserker actually enjoyed playing with his mother. Both his body and his mind were too despicable!

From this perspective, the unreliable Jason looks more handsome.

But there is still good news. At least in the current situation, the two of them don’t have to fight directly.

After a long moment, Illya, nearly suffocating, finally broke free from Minamoto no Raikou's embrace. Panting heavily, she looked at Tōsaka Rin: "You're recklessly attacking his offspring right next to another magician's workshop. Are you ready for war? In other words, you know about Matou Sakura's situation?"

"You, the Einzbern, also know about this!?"

Toosaka Rin didn't expect that even Illya knew about what happened to Matou Sakura. She was the only one among the three families who was kept in the dark?

“I knew that ten years ago.”

Illya puffed out her small chest. The magical experience ten years ago was an unforgettable memory in her life.

"I originally thought that given that guy's personality, he would immediately come back to help Matou Sakura deal with Matou Zouken. I was waiting for him to come, but I didn't expect it to be you, Tōsaka Rin. It seems that the guy you summoned in your deck should be your father from ten years ago, right?"

From Illya's words, Rin was completely convinced that what her father said was true. As for the incident ten years ago, Rin just took it as Illya's way of saying she already knew it.

"That rascal?"

From what Illya said, Rin Tohsaka realized that someone else was coming to rescue Sakura. She didn't expect there was someone else here who wanted to help Sakura. She immediately became curious, "Who is it?"

"He's a jerk with overflowing compassion, and he's the one who took Matou Sakura away from me!"

Illya stamped her feet in anger. She felt that the reason she couldn't find Matou Sakura and Jiang You was because they didn't dare to confront her. Jiang You had vowed to help her, but in the end, he broke his promise just like Emiya Kiritsugu! "Men are not good people!"

"...?"

Toosaka Rin tried her best to process the information she had gained in her mind.

Finally, she sorted out all the information and came to the conclusion: Sakura stole Illya's man!

"This, this, this..."

Whether it's Sakura stealing another girl's man or Illya's appearance, they all challenge Toosaka Rin's understanding.

“Isn’t this a crime?”
