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

Sakura Matou looked at Toosaka Rin with a smile. She didn't bother to dwell on anything since she had already lost. She could no longer compete with Illya. In fact, it seemed that she couldn't compete with Illya after all.

"Congratulations, sister, you're one step closer to victory. Don't lose in your next duel with Illya. I'll cheer you on."

"Will win!"

Toosaka Rin declared her victory, "I will also take back my Servant and win the Holy Grail as well!"

"The Holy Grail... As for the Holy Grail, by now, you should know something about it, sister."

Sakura Matou felt that since her sister no longer had any prejudice against Caster, it would be better to let her know some things.

"Let's go back and talk about it in detail."

The Emiya residence has basically been used as a temporary base.

"So, due to the Einzbern family's illegal actions during the Third Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail has become contaminated, and it has now lost its normal mechanism for granting wishes. Instead, it interprets wishes in a malicious way and grants them?"

Toosaka Rin quickly grasped the key information from Matou Sakura's explanation. Some of the information roughly matched what Toosaka Tokiomi had said. "Then how did you achieve the wish to resurrect everyone ten years ago, in the timeline where you met Caster?"

"Because of the appearance of the Beast, it absorbed the evil of this world. When Caster won the Dark Game, the Beast and the evil of this world were destroyed by the rules."

"What's a Beast? How many confusing job categories does the Heroic Spirit system have?"

Toosaka Rin put this unanswered question behind her. "In other words, if we want the Holy Grail here to work, we also need a container to accept the evil of this world, and then defeat it with the Dark Game."

Toosaka Rin turned her gaze to Red A: "Since you know this, Sakura, it makes sense that this guy who wants to use the Holy Grail to bless Caster's Noble Phantasm doesn't know it either. You are anxious to find a Master..."

"So, Archer, you chose me as your Master because you wanted me to be the vessel of this evil?"

Toosaka Rin stood up suddenly and the magic bullet in her hand attacked Red A directly.

"Archer, you're such a traitor! I'm going to deal with you right here, right now."

Red A knew that Tōsaka Rin needed to vent her anger, so she projected her twin swords and shattered the magic bullet in mid-air, trying to comfort her: "Rin, you are the strongest Master in this Holy Grail War, and you are the most suitable to be the vessel! This is a talent that no one else has, and only you can do it!"

"It's the same thing again, right? You're really good at making girls happy, right?"

Toosaka Rin had been fooled once and would not fall for it again, so she fired several more magic bullets at Red A.

"If you really succeed, what will I do then? Will I be Tōsaka Rin or Angora Mainyu? Will I be dead or alive? Believe it or not, I will let you commit suicide right here, right now."

The more Toosaka Rin thought about it, the angrier she became. She increased her firepower and fired a series of magic bullets that blew the door off.

"Tousaka-san, calm down."

Shirou Emiya wasn't helping Red A, he was just worried about his own house. If Tōsaka Rin continued to make such a fuss, his small coffers would shrink again.

"You and he are the same person, right? Don't you want to kill your past self? Don't even bother looking for the Holy Grail anymore. I'll do it for you right now!"

Toosaka Rin threatened while holding up the jewel, but she would not actually attack Emiya Shirou.

Red A didn't dare to take any chances. He flipped over and grabbed Emiya Shirou by the collar, leading him away from Tōsaka Rin's attack range. "I'm sorry, but I can't leave right now. This is the closest we'll ever get to peace. You have to trust Caster's Noble Phantasm. His Noble Phantasm, combined with the Dark Game, can accomplish many impossible things. From now on, you can kill or slash this guy as you please."

"What do you mean you want to kill me?"

Emiya Shirou threw an elbow attack at Red A, but it was easily blocked.

"It's obviously all your good deeds, why should I be implicated?"

"Is it just my fault? You know, I've tried it. Even if it's indirect damage, this rule can cover the source of the attack."

Red A gave his past self a subtle smile. After appearing in the era in which he lived and regaining his memory, he knew his current self too well.

"Remember the fire ten years ago? That was the result of someone destroying the Holy Grail and releasing the evil of the moment. But if Caster's Noble Phantasm had been effective for everyone at that time, the rules would have erased the first contact of damage, regardless of whether they agreed to the duel or not, and that disaster wouldn't have happened."

The live broadcasts during this period allowed Emiya Shirou to understand some of the rules of Jiang You's Noble Phantasm. He knew that what Red A said was true. He also learned some of the rules of magic from Tōsaka Rin: "But, it's impossible to cover the world with a Noble Phantasm, right? And will the Magicians Association agree? Such a conflict of interest would probably kill a lot of people, right?"

"They've agreed."

Red A was present when Bazett said these words, and the biggest obstacle had disappeared.

"And even if they don't agree, I'm going to do it! Magic or firearms, they're all tools for killing people. It won't make a difference if they disappear. And magic that makes life easier won't be popularized to many people anyway."

"Okay, let me help you!"

Thinking that the tragedy of ten years ago would not happen again, Emiya Shirou was actually convinced.

After learning that Emiya Shirou had triggered the "Partner of Justice" keyword, Tōsaka Rin's train of thought became extremely simple, and she was easily persuaded. She sighed, "I knew this would happen. Are you going to use me as a vessel too?"

"No, I mean I'll be the vessel. You see, I have Magic Circuits, too. You said I'm exceptionally talented among the first generation of magicians."

Shirou Emiya's eyes were determined, he was willing to give up his life for world peace.

"It doesn't matter even if I lose myself!"

Chapter 129 The Holy Grail will not jump out by itself.

Faced with Emiya Shirou's awareness, Toosaka Rin didn't know whether she should praise him or not, and finally sighed.

"No matter what, please think more about yourself. You only have one life."

"No, you just said you were going to kill me, right?"

Shirou Emiya complained, they had been pointing swords at each other before.

"There's no need to be so pessimistic."

Sakura Matou, who had been drinking tea for a long time, spoke. She had been watching this farce for a long time, but she didn't interrupt because she thought her sister's distress was very interesting.

"Now, except for Gilgamesh, there is no Servant who has retired."

Matou Sakura explained.

"And Caster's personality is such that he won't allow anyone to attack his companions. Illya and I have no reason to fight him. In fact, there are no Servants in this Holy Grail War that can bring down the Holy Grail."

"Or, sister, even after knowing the true identity of the Holy Grail, do you still want to continue fighting, force all the other Servants to retreat, and seize the title of victor?"

In the final analysis, there weren't many Masters who really wanted to join this Holy Grail War. Coupled with Jiang You's intrusion, the few who really wanted to fight had either already left or were still in the box, so there really wasn't a reason for them to fight.

"If you just want to prove yourself, this duel is fine. You should ask Archer instead of me. He's obsessed with the Holy Grail."

Toosaka Rin understands that she cannot allow the Holy Grail to descend at will before finding a container, and if she wants to become a container, she must possess the function of the Lesser Holy Grail. Now, except Illya, it seems that no one can do it.

Considering the relationship between Caster and Illya, the Holy Grail War must be postponed. At least a suitable container must be found.

"My core target is Caster's Noble Phantasm. If he doesn't want to, I can't force him."

Red A's position has always been firm. "Besides, there will always be a way. Maybe the Holy Grail will pop out on its own then."

"Where does the magic power come from to make the Holy Grail appear?"

Toosaka Rin said that Emiya Shirou's knowledge of magic is still only third-rate, even if he becomes a Heroic Spirit.

"So how on earth did a half-baked magician like you manage to create a permanent barrier?"

"Congratulations, Shinji."

Shinji Matou lifted his clothes, and black lines spread across his body. He had never felt such abundant magic power before, but his body was aching abnormally. This feeling was not just a side effect of the crest worm, but like something had been inserted into his magic circuit. It felt like something else was inside him.

This made him both happy and scared, but in order to embark on the path of magic, Shinji Matou felt that he could endure it.

The voice continued, "The finals are about to begin. My bugs have gathered information for you. Your opponents are Rin Tohsaka of the Tohsaka family and Illya of the Einzbern family. Hehehe... As expected, the final victory will be decided among the three of us. This is fate, hehe..."

"As for the remaining one, it seems someone stole Jason, the original Servant, from the Tōsaka family. But don't worry, Jason's deck can't break through the Crest Bug's defense. His deck relies almost entirely on the suppression power of Hercules. As long as they can take control of Hercules, they can easily defeat him!"

There are many cards in Zouken Matou's deck that can seize control, which does give him a lot of advantages against Jason.

"The only one you need to be careful of is the little girl from the Tōsaka family. Try not to use the [Book of False Minister] and keep your health low in front of her... Are you listening? Just because you defeated Cu Chulainn once, you're not so complacent that you think you're invincible, are you?"

Matou Zouken made a dissatisfied sound. He knew Matou Shinji's arrogant and conceited personality. "If you don't get the Soul Crystal, I don't need to tell you what will happen to you. Your forcefully expanded magic circuits are constantly overdrawing your life force."

"Shut...shut up, I will definitely win!"

This didn't sound like something Matou Shinji would say. He had always been very cowardly when faced with life and death threats, and Matou Zouken only thought that his confidence had swelled because he had won too many games.

"Then I look forward to your performance."

“The profit is not bad.”

Jiang You counted the cards he'd acquired recently. While most of them were useless, there were still a few that were still usable. After he initiated the Duel event, cards of defeated magicians and heroes kept appearing in his mail.

"This is much more efficient than sending soul crystals directly. Is this considered a sweep function?"

With a high degree of freedom, you can always develop some weird ways to play.

"You just gave this thing away?"

Medea, who was making a model, showed a rather incredible expression. She always felt that there was something wrong with Jiang You's values.

"This thing is worth enough to buy a country. Even in the Age of Gods, it would be enough to offer it to the gods as an offering... Or rather, you could even hire the gods to do the work for you. Of course, they might just rob you outright."

"After all, I can't use this thing directly."

Jiang You tried to use this thing with the help of Medea, but it was of no use to him and he was like an insulator.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Where's Jason? You didn't really make him into a puppet, did you?"

"Not yet, at least not yet."

Medea continued painting her puppet models. She now had quite a few Servant models, including Jason, the Argonauts, and other Servants from the Holy Grail War. After creating the templates, she could use magic to continuously produce crude replicas.

As a peripheral part of the duel tournament, these figures are selling quite well, and Medea is currently enjoying the process.

"That bastard is entertaining guests upstairs now."

Medea had gotten her own small revenge. Jason had never served anyone since he was a child, and now he was constantly having to greet people with a smile. Medea didn't even hire any other employees; Jason was the only one busy running the huge model shop.

"Whenever a customer leaves a bad review, the collar I give him will shrink. If there are too many bad reviews, his head will fall off."

"That really worked hard for him."

Jiang You looked at his business page. Although it had a high rate of positive reviews, the actual revenue was low, as Jason had to meet any customer request. Returns and exchanges were common, and he even offered door-to-door delivery. It was a good thing Jason was a Heroic Spirit, otherwise he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

However, Medea had no pursuit of money, so Jiang You just let her do what she wanted.

"Is the venue ready for tomorrow's final?"

Medea probably guessed Jiang You's purpose, as she couldn't see him normally.

"Looks like I have to start working overtime again."

Chapter 130: Actually, the Noble Phantasm is the World Modulator (Not)

"It's ready. We're at Yuanzang Mountain. The venue there is big enough. The terrain is high enough, and it has a more ceremonial feel."

Jiang You actually wanted to open an aerial arena above the city, but unfortunately, he didn't have the financial resources and advanced technology of Kaiba. He had originally wanted to rely on almighty magic to solve the problem, but when he proposed it to Medea, he was strongly rejected.

"You'd have to find the Empress of the Assyrian Empire for this kind of aerial architecture. I'm not a qualified professional."

Medea had said so before.

This request was reasonable, and Medea nodded. "That's fine. The Soul Crystal already has a lot of defensive magic in place. We can just modify it when the time comes."

The two quickly arrived at Liudong Temple, and under Jiang You's command, Medea began to set up the scene. To ensure that the audience could see clearly, she even used the alien technology that trapped Artoria in the normal world.

"It's amazing that you're willing to put in the effort to do this."

Seeing Jiang You so concerned, Medea sighed.

"The purpose of playing games is to have fun."

Jiang You imitated Medea's movements to carve the magic circle, but as expected, he failed.

"Since I can't play the main game in the collaboration, I'll just open my own Duel City. Business simulation is also a type of game."

Medea didn't understand what the main body linkage meant, but she had heard many confusing terms like Jiang You's and had long learned to ignore them.

"Don't make things worse. Have you thought about what to do after the duel?"

"How to do?"

Jiang You didn't realize what Medea was referring to.

"Of course it's something about the magic world."

Medea had analyzed modern magic, and Jiang You had practically overturned the tables and smashed everything. "Most of the Servants already know about the Holy Grail issue, but according to the current rules of the magic world, you'll probably be condemned by everyone."

"Don't worry about that. Someone from their group has contacted me. It's Bazett, the same one we fought before, Lancer's Master. The Clock Tower has expressed its support for my actions and will even ensure my survival in this Holy Grail War."

After leaving Emiya's house, Bazette immediately found Jiang You and explained his purpose.
