She became the future head of the Tohsaka family, was loved by both her parents, and her father even specially prepared the White Dragon's relic for her... Tohsaka Rin was born with all of this, while all Matou Sakura had was the care of an "uncle" who was not related to her by blood.

"Do you want to see him?"

Toosaka Rin asked.

"Not for now, let's talk about it when we get back."

Matou Sakura said softly, "It's almost time for class. Since you're here, go to the classroom... After all, a student must have seen you just now. It would be bad if the teacher heard about it."

"how about you?"

"Don't worry about me here, I'm fine."

Matou Sakura answered.

After the two sisters chatted for a while, and after repeatedly confirming that the younger sister was indeed fine, Tohsaka Rin stood up and said goodbye to Matou Sakura and left.

After the door of the health room was closed, Sakura Matou used her fingers to tuck a strand of hair on her forehead behind her ear. The hanging strands of hair added a bit of lazy charm.

"How do you feel, Rider?"

In the health room, a plump and beautiful figure quietly appeared beside Sakura Matou.

The beautiful beauty with loose purple hair crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly, as if staring at the direction where Tousaka Rin left through a blindfold.

"That guy... is very strong."

Rider said quietly, "This is the first time I've seen Assassin's power rival that of the 'Three Knights'. No, that's not right..."

She shook her head. "If it's a pure contest of strength, his brute force is probably even more terrifying than the three knights."

Matou Sakura lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, "After all, it's him... I'm not surprised at all."

"The White Dragon's power is extremely brutal. Even in his Assassin form, he is still a strong contender for this Holy Grail War. Master, if you truly wish to obtain the Holy Grail, you must find a way to defeat him first—"

As soon as Rider finished speaking, Matou Sakura turned her head slightly to look at her.

"Rider... I've never had any interest in the Greater Holy Grail from the beginning."

Yes, from the beginning to the end, what she really wanted was never the Holy Grail, but just to see that person again, nothing more.

——This is how it should be.

However... knowing that Rin Toosaka was still able to summon him after the holy relic was swapped, Sakura Matou felt an indescribable twisted feeling in her heart.

"If you really wanted to see him, why didn't you tell your sister just now?"

Rider asked softly.

"His perception is too strong... maybe he will notice something unusual about me."

Sakura Matou slowly raised her head and gently exhaled a sweet breath.

"At least...at least I have to wait until I have completely digested the magic power in my body before I can get in close contact with him."

Ah... just thinking about how I will have to endure for a long time, I can't help but want to indulge my desires. This feeling that requires patience... really makes people want to immerse themselves in it.

"You should step back first, Rider."

The purple-haired beauty beside her lowered her head, turned around, and quietly turned into light particles and disappeared into the air.

The health room returned to its former quietness.

But in this quiet atmosphere, there seemed to be a faint ambiguous breath coming from the red lips of a young girl.

Sakura Matou's cheeks were burning hot, her white fingertips reached into the quilt, her body trembled slightly at some point, and a moist luster soon appeared in her beautiful eyes.

……

Before I knew it, the day's classes were over.

In the evening, the sky was still gloomy.

Toosaka Rin was on her way home.

"How did you feel, Assassin? Were you aware of the other magi's presence at the time?"

Alvin appeared silently beside her. He shook his head and said, "Rider was indeed the only one on the rooftop at that time... and there was no sign of other magicians using magic."

"However, Rider's Master should be in your school."

If we have to name a suspect, there is one person who is the most suspicious, but Alvin has no evidence at the moment... and it is not appropriate to say this in front of Toosaka Rin.

After all...that girl is Rin Tohsaka's biological sister.

Toosaka Rin lowered her eyes and said, "...Then let's investigate slowly."

As the two of them talked, they listened to the sound of wind and snow as they headed towards the Tohsaka family.

There was no one in sight along the way.

At this moment, Alvin suddenly seemed to realize something, his expression changed slightly, and he pulled Toosaka Rin behind him.

"Rin, wait a moment!"

"What's wrong--"

As soon as Toosaka Rin said this, she suddenly seemed to realize something and subconsciously looked up and ahead.

In the heavy snow, I saw a petite figure walking step by step from the distant road.

She stood with her hands behind her back, a sweet smile on her pretty face, and her fair skin had a beautiful texture like ice crystals in the snow.

Toosaka Rin narrowed her eyes and stared at the silver-haired girl in front of her.

"What a rare visitor... I didn't expect to see you on the eve of the Holy Grail War."

"...Illya."

187

Chapter 187 Merlin’s visit and Illya’s wish.

The snowflakes, carrying the unique fishy and rusty smell of winter trees, weave into a dense net under the lead-gray sky.

Toosaka Rin's cashmere scarf swept across the dead branches covered with ice crystals, and the snow behind her suddenly indented into a human figure.

——That was the sign of Alvin’s usual spiritization.

Illya stood on tiptoe, her cherry-colored nails scratching across the snow-covered branches, and ice crystals condensed into miniature crowns on the ends of her silver hair.

"Rin's body temperature can be felt even from several streets away."

Her voice is clear and pleasant, and her fair face, as delicate as a porcelain doll, is decorated with a lively and bright smile.

"Mr. Knight hiding in the shadows, he should be with you now, right?"

After Illya finished speaking, she stared quietly at Tohsaka Rin's side, as if she was looking for something.

Toosaka Rin narrowed her eyes and unconsciously blocked Alvin's way - even though Alvin was not visible at the moment.

"Miss Illya, putting aside the question of whether he is actually with me... you should be aware that this is the eve of the Holy Grail War, right?"

"I know."

Illya nodded as a matter of course.

"As an enemy Master... on the eve of the Holy Grail War, you ran to another Master and openly asked to see my Servant. Don't you think there is something wrong?"

Illya looked at Tohsaka Rin again and said thoughtfully, "I see. What you said makes sense."

"After all, I am also a Master participating in the Holy Grail War... It is not appropriate to go out of my way to meet the enemy Servant."

Illya kicked the snow lightly with her right foot.

"In that case, please use the Holy Grail War to fulfill my wish."

Toosaka Rin was slightly startled.

A silver thread at Illya's fingertips suddenly tightened, and seven mithril night owls tore through the snow curtain and flew high into the sky, swooping down in the direction of Toosaka Rin.

"Who would start a fight over a disagreement? This guy is still acting unpredictably as always!"

Toosaka Rin complained in annoyance, the trajectory of the magic pattern reflected in her pupils, and three red gems condensed into a crimson light shield in her palm.

The moment the ice crystals collided with the flames, the snow on the ground seemed to melt a little.

"Your reaction is quite quick..."

Illya's lips curled up slightly: "If you add these to it, can you still avoid it?!"

As soon as the words fell, behind Illya, several Mithril Night Owls let out a long howl. They were all condensed from a special "silver thread", gushing out rich magic power. The silver light intertwined with each other, and rays of magical silver light shot towards Toosaka Rin.

Toosaka Rin reached into her pocket with her right hand, took out several gems and threw them forward.

Several colorful gems collided with the flying bird, bursting into brilliant light.

At the same time, magic power in Tousaka Rin's magic circuits began to flow rapidly to various parts of her body.

Alvin, who had been standing nearby, seemed to be vaguely aware of something and whispered, "Shui Jing?"

Water Mirror... This was one of the Age of Gods magic that Morgan taught Tohsaka Rin.

Although it is just one kind of magic, in fact, this kind of magic alone can be distinguished into four major magics: "Mirror", "Tower", "Courtyard" and "Coffin".

And what Toosaka Rin used was a special magic called "Garden".

When Toosaka Rin clasped her hands together, some kind of power seemed to descend from the space.

"Water Mirror Courtyard!"

As the voice fell, Illya's dress suddenly froze in mid-air, as if there was some force in the space she was in that restricted her movements.

She tried to move her fingers, but found that her whole body was unable to move.

Illya's expression finally changed, and she said in shock, "No, this isn't the Tōsaka family's jewel magic... Where did you learn it?"

Toosaka Rin chuckled and said, "I don't think I need to tell you."

"And then again..."

Rin Tohsaka stepped on the soft snow with her deerskin boots, approaching Illya step by step, with a dangerous arc at the corner of her mouth.

"Instead of worrying about other people's Servant, why don't you explain why the eldest daughter of Einzbern Castle came to me with her Servant on the eve of the Holy Grail War?!"

Whoosh!

The next moment, a ruby ​​in Toosaka Rin's hand flew towards Illya at a high speed like a bullet!

When the ruby ​​was about to fly in front of Illya, there was a moment when the space seemed to fluctuate slightly.

Soon, a helpless sigh was heard from behind the silver-haired girl.

"I didn't expect Princess Morgan to give you a magic trick as great as the 'Water Mirror'... Although she did it for Alvin's sake, I think she probably likes you too."

Toosaka Rin's eyes narrowed slightly, and then her pupils suddenly widened.

At some point, a man in white robes appeared behind Illya.

He leaned on his staff and then drew a sword from it.

A sharp cold light flashed, splitting the ruby ​​into two pieces, and the space of the "court" that bound Illya was shattered in an instant.

But the sword skill had not yet ended when a sharp cold light attacked from all directions, causing Toosaka Rin to subconsciously step back.

At this moment, the snow under Merlin's feet seemed to be melted and spread out by some high temperature, and his golden fist blasted towards the overwhelming sword light.

As if under the pressure of gravity, the accumulated snow and the falling snowflakes were shattered together.

"When did a Grand Master Magician stoop so low as to bully a girl...Merlin."

Under Illya's extremely surprised gaze, a figure dressed in black appeared silently behind Toosaka Rin.

"Big brother!"

In an instant, Illya's eyes lit up. If it weren't for the current situation, she might have pounced on him.

Alvin met the silver-haired loli's expectant eyes and quickly smiled: "Long time no see, Illya."

After saying that, he glanced at the white-haired wizard beside him, "I didn't expect you to appear in Fuyuki's Holy Grail War... It's really unexpected."

Merlin, in Type-Moon's history and even in "The Legend of King Arthur", this man is full of fantasy.

Logically speaking, this white-haired wizard shouldn't belong in Valhalla... There's only one possibility for him to appear in Fuyuki's Holy Grail War.

—Merlin himself wants to participate in the Holy Grail War.
