But judging by her black hair, Matou Sakura probably hasn't been transformed by the Crest Bug yet...
Thinking of this, Alvin felt a little relieved.
The black-haired loli in a plain white dress sat on the sofa somewhat stiffly. Her two small and delicate feet were a little cold under the hem of her skirt.
Alvin reached out and held her white and tender feet. The warmth from his palm seemed to make Sakura Matou feel warm, and her body stopped shaking so much.
She subconsciously looked down at the black-robed Servant kneeling beside her and heard him continue:
"If you don't mind, you can stay here for the time being. After the Holy Grail War is over, I will send you back to the Tohsaka family."
Sakura Matou was slightly stunned, feeling a little hesitant and timid.
Although she was not aware of the power of the Matou family, she knew that if she continued to stay here, it might cause trouble for the two of them.
"Don't worry, if you want to stay... no one will take you away." Alvin said with a smile.
Alvin doesn't think he is a saint, the Matou family has a huge influence in Fuyuki, and Matou Zouken is a monster who has lived for hundreds of years.
If he were an ordinary person, he might hesitate for a moment about whether he should save Sakura Matou and take her home tonight.
After all, saving her would mean becoming an enemy of the Matou family.
But Alvin inherited the White Dragon's panel after all... There is no problem as long as he does what he wants to do to the best of his ability.
He doesn't expect to save the world, as long as he has a clear conscience.
Perhaps it was the warmth of the boy's palm that reached her body or something, but Sakura Matou's originally uneasy look finally calmed down.
Many years later, when the grown-up Sakura Matou reads "The Legend of King Arthur" and the story of the White Dragon, she will always think of the night of the Fourth Holy Grail War, recall the boy's reassuring smile and the warmth in his palm - and long for the Holy Grail War to come again.
Aika Sajo walked into the living room carrying a plate from the kitchen. When she saw Alvin holding Sakura Matou's feet, she couldn't help but glance at him with some concern.
She quickly put on a smile and said, "Have some cookies."
Sakura Matou is still young after all... No matter what, she has no reason to be jealous of a loli.
She sat next to Sakura Matou, then reached out and took off the white mask on the boy's face.
"Don't wear it when you're at home." Saijo Aika said with a smile.
The three of them sat on the sofa, enjoying hot winter tea and cookies, and they felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
But such peaceful times did not last long.
dong dong...
Suddenly there was a slight knock on the door outside.
Aika Sajo raised her eyes casually, glanced at the flying insects outside the glass window, and was about to get up.
Alvin reached out and gently touched her head, saying, "I'll go open the door. You and Sakura can eat first."
"It just so happens that I want to see if there are any other guests who have come to visit us at this late hour."

dong dong.
dong dong dong...
It was a kind of continuous knocking sound, accompanied by the sound of countless insects' wings as thin as paper flapping, so dense that even an ordinary person would feel a tingling sensation on the scalp when hearing this sound.
Matou Kariya stood at the door of the room. After the Holy Grail War began, the man's hair turned completely white in just one night, and even his face looked much older.
It's no wonder. For a magician, magic is their life. Among all the masters, Matou Kariya's magical talent is very poor.
If it weren't for Matou Zouken's forcible intervention and overdrawing of his vitality, perhaps Matou Kariya would not even be qualified to participate in the Holy Grail War.
However, even so, he still did not summon the "white dragon" that Matou Zouken mentioned tonight.
Am I too weak...?
On the way of following Matou Zouken to leave the Matou family, Matou Kariya kept asking himself this question.
"It seems you're quite unconvinced, Kariya."
At the stairs, Zouken Matou, who was wearing a traditional kimono and had an old and gloomy face, seemed very satisfied with Matou Kariya's reaction, and a terrifying smile appeared on his face intentionally or unintentionally.
"I'm very pleased. At least compared to those useless losers in the Matou family, you are more ambitious..."
Although he said so, he had never had high expectations for Matou Kariya from the very beginning regarding summoning the White Dragon.
Because he had been to ancient Britain and had heard all kinds of stories about the dragon, Matou Zouken knew very well that it would be difficult for a descendant like him to summon the dragon with his "capacity".
Because Matou Kariya is too weak.
Participating in the Holy Grail War, summoning servants, and overdrawing his own vitality, all of this was done by Matou Sakura and her biological mother, Tousaka Aoi.
In order to save Matou Sakura, for the sake of someone else's wife, he would rather overdraw himself...
'Kind', 'strong sense of justice', or 'suck-up', 'thinking with your lower body'... This man's reputation can be said to be polarized.
But in fact, this is the complexity of human nature. Of course, Zouken Matou doesn't care about the reason why his descendant participated in the Holy Grail War. Anyway, for him, as long as he can be used well, it is enough.
However, his weakness might become the biggest 'foreshadowing' of the Holy Grail War... Matou Zouken narrowed his eyes and said grimly, "Kariya, I'll give you one chance."
"It's the Holy Grail War now, and Sakura knows something about the 'Holy Grail'... If ordinary citizens of Fuyuki knew about this, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble."
Zouken Matou slowly walked up the stairs. His steps were extremely slow and difficult, like an old man who was about to die, his life was just a candle in the wind.
He was hunched over, his eyes, as pale as a dead man's, staring silently at his offspring. He said slowly, "After taking Sakura away, kill them."
Matou Kariya's pupils suddenly dilated. In the Fourth Holy Grail War, if every magus had his own unique "talent", then Matou Kariya was an ordinary person in the true sense.
Although he was born in the Matou family, he resolutely severed his relationship with magic because of his kind nature. If it were not for Matou Sakura and her daughter, Matou Kariya would never have returned to the Matou family.
Let him kill a family of ordinary people in exchange for Matou Sakura's safety...
There was no time for Matou Kariya to think, because the next moment, Matou Zouken had walked to the door and knocked.
Then, the old man slowly retreated a few steps with his cane and said sinisterly, "Not being able to summon the white dragon is already a failure on your part. If you fail again this time... you should know what will happen to Sakura, Kariya."
The words were extremely calm, yet they contained an undisguised threat and chill.
The Matou family does not have a decent bloodline, so Matou Zouken places his hopes on Matou Sakura.
However, the inheritance of magic of the Matou family requires the transformation of Matou Sakura's body first - at the cost of the crest bug gnawing at her body.
If he can win the final victory in the Holy Grail War, he will give up using the Crest Worms to transform Matou Sakura's body... This is the condition that Matou Zouken agreed to Matou Kariya.
Of course, this honest man probably didn't expect that during his participation in the Holy Grail War, Sakura Matou had already been sent to the insect warehouse, being gnawed by the cresting insects day and night until she was completely desperate in the end.
"Are there any guests visiting so late?"
While Matou Kariya was still making his decision, someone in the house pushed open the door, accompanied by a young man's gentle voice.
He was wearing a black robe and a hood on his head that covered most of his face, but one could still vaguely see the boy's quite handsome face. Under the hood, a pair of eyes that seemed to be painted with ink were looking at him quietly.
It's actually a 'child'...? Matou Kariya couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Kareya, aren't you going to take action yet?"
From behind came the old and impatient urging voice of Matou Zouken.
Matou Kariya's heart trembled slightly, and the expression on his face became more and more struggling.
Do you really want to attack an ordinary person?
For the happiness of Sakura and Aoi, he is even willing to sacrifice others...?
But if I don't take action, Zōken will definitely not let Sakura go...
Matou Zouken stood behind him, silently watching Matou Kariya with a struggling expression, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that he still needs a push...
Thinking of this, Matou Zouken raised his cane and tapped the floor lightly.
Behind Matou Kariya, a crested insect flapped its wings and quickly drilled into the boy's body.
"Hesitation will be a major reason for your defeat in the Holy Grail War in the future... Remember this lesson, Kariya." Matou Zouken said in a cold tone.
The old man's sinister tone kept lingering in the man's ears. Matou Kariya subconsciously covered his forehead, his face covered in cold sweat.
He gasped for breath, and after struggling for a long time, he finally let out a low growl and waved his hand.
Countless engraved insects behind him flew towards the young man at the door!
The dense swarms of engraved insects were extremely terrifying and disgusting. They flew towards the young man at the door like a tide.
A satisfied smile was about to appear on Matou Zouken's face, but at this moment, he suddenly saw that the insects that had just swept towards the boy suddenly disappeared in the next moment.
Matou Kariya subconsciously opened his eyes wide, as if filled with disbelief, and muttered, "What's going on..."
Matou Zouken's face darkened: "Kariye, are you deliberately teasing me?"
"I didn't!" Matou Kariya said subconsciously, "Those bugs have clearly already drilled into his body..."
Matou Zouken snorted coldly, "I can confirm now whether the crested worms are gnawing at his body."
The first Marking Worm he had just released was still in the boy's body. The Marking Worm could dissect and devour the blood, bones, and even the magic power flowing in his body in an instant.
Wanting to play these tricks in front of him and deliberately letting this boy go... I can only say that this kid underestimated him a little bit.
Matou Zouken raised his cane and tapped the floor lightly.
In an instant, a carving insect flew out and began to analyze the boy's body structure.
Matou Kariya's face was tense, and he desperately tried to signal the boy at the door with his eyes to run away.
hum!
At this moment, the engraving insect that was scanning the boy's body seemed to be burned to ashes by some high temperature.
Immediately afterwards, a scream from the old man was heard behind him.
Matou Kariya subconsciously turned his head and saw Matou Zouken holding his forehead in pain. The crested worms in his body seemed to sense some threat and were flying out of his body frantically and fleeing everywhere.
what happened……?
There was a hint of confusion in Matou Kariya's gray eyes, and he couldn't understand what was going on.
You know, Zouken Matou's body can be said to be a combination of "sealed insects". He is the behind-the-scenes patriarch of the Matou family. When it comes to playing with insects, it is impossible to find anyone in the whole of Fuyuki who can match him.
But now... these engraved insects are actually madly escaping from Zouken Matou's body.
What on earth is going on…?
Just as Matou Kariya was still lost in thought, a dry hand tightly grasped his shoulder. Matou Zouken tried his best to suppress his inner emotions, but there was still a slight tremor in his tone.
"Hurry, run away... No, give me your magic power!"
The old man could feel that when the marking worm drilled into the boy's body, the other party was actually using the marking worm as a medium to devour his magic power!
If you don't run away... you will definitely die!
Matou Zouken, whose mentality had not fluctuated much for nearly five hundred years, now felt a strong fear and desire to survive in his heart.
Matou Zouken knocked the ground with his cane, and something seemed to move inside Matou Kariya's skin.
Matou Kariya hunched his back like a shrimp, covering his abdomen in pain. Countless crested worms overflowed from his body and quickly drilled into Matou Zouken's body.
At this moment, a dazzling golden light lit up at the dim staircase in front.
"Holy Sword of the Stars——!!!"
"Saber, it's you... It's you!! You've been summoned in advance by the Master of this Holy Grail War!"
Matou Zouken absorbed the magical power in Matou Kariya's body. His gray eyes slowly widened, and his old voice was filled with disbelief: "What exactly do you want to do... Why did you take Sakura away?!"
"I just happened to meet a little girl who ran away from home on the street. It was freezing and snowy, and I was afraid she would catch a cold, so I took her home first."
Alvin smiled and a golden holy sword condensed in his hand.
"Actually, I had no intention of looking for you so early, but I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative."
