Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 197 Mother and Daughter United

"What?!" Haruto suddenly stood up.

Next, Asuka spent ten minutes concisely explaining the rules of the Holy Grail War to the mother.

Seven magicians, seven heroic spirits, fought each other until only one remained.

The winner can have any wish granted.

The loser will most likely face only death.

After listening to Fei Niao's story, the living room fell into a deathly silence once again.

Haru's expression shifted from shock to anger, and finally to deep fear.

"Are you kidding me...?"

She gripped Jin's hand, her voice hoarse, "Let little Jin kill? Or be killed? This kind of thing..."

As Haru spoke, she grabbed Sumire's hand and tried to wipe the bright red Command Seal off the back of Sumire's hand with her sleeve.

"Wipe it off! Wipe this filthy thing off right now!"

"Mom...it can't be wiped off..." Jin's eyes welled up with tears from the pain, but she didn't pull her hand away. She just looked sadly at her mother's futile efforts.

"It's no use, Mrs. Kamado."

Asuka coldly said, "Once the Command Seal is engraved, it is proof that the contract is established. This is not some summer camp where you can come and go as you please."

"Before this war ends, or before Sumire loses her Command Seals, she is the Master chosen by the Holy Grail."

"and..

""

Asuka's eyes sharpened: "Even if you want to withdraw, the other participants won't let you go. To reduce competition, killing weaker Masters is the most efficient method."

"Remember that psychopathic killer who tried to kill Sumire? All those involved were lunatics like that."

Upon hearing the words "psychopathic killer," Haru's body trembled violently.

In the story just told, she already knew the whole process of how Xiao Jin got involved in this chaos.

Unbeknownst to her, Sumire was kidnapped and nearly died...

Qingli looked at her daughter, remembering the scars on the back of her hand, her eyes filled with heartache and lingering fear.

Jin nodded silently.

"Mom, I'm sorry... I've been keeping this from you."

Haru slumped back to the ground, as if all her strength had been drained away.

As a mother, her greatest wish is for her daughter to live a long and peaceful life.

But now, reality tells her that her daughter has been pushed into a gladiatorial arena where only life and death matter.

...Really, is there no other way?

Haru raised her head, her slightly reddened eyes looking at Asuka with a desperate plea in them.

As the bird looked at her, a slight thought stirred within it.

That look in their eyes, forced to confront a cruel fate to protect what is important, remains the same no matter how many years have passed or in which world they live.

There is only one way.

Asuka stood up and walked over to the mother and daughter.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on Violet's shoulder.

"That is to win."

"Or, to survive to the end."

The bird's cry was not loud, but it carried a steadfastness like a rock.

"I can't guarantee I'll get the Holy Grail, but..."

'

He looked at Haruto, his dark eyes burning with golden flames.

"I can guarantee that as long as I haven't disappeared, no one can harm Violet."

"Whether it's a Heroic Spirit or a Magician, anyone who wants to mess with the Kamado family's brats will have to get past me first."

These words acted as a reassurance, calming the panicked mother and daughter down a bit.

Haru looked at the mysterious swordsman in front of her.

Although his origins were unknown and he exuded a dangerous aura, at this moment, Haru felt a long-lost sense of security from him.

That's the aura only truly powerful warriors who have faced countless life-or-death situations possess.

Okay, I believe you.

Haru took a deep breath, wiped her eyes, and her gaze became resolute again.

That was the strength of being the head of the family and a mother.

"Since there's no escaping it, we can only face it."

Haru stood up and dusted off her clothes.

"Although I know nothing about magic or warfare, I, Haruto Kamado, am no pushover!"

She pointed to her right eye, then clenched her fist, showing off the muscles she'd developed from years of moving goods.

"I have this Mystic Eye too, right? Since it's a superpower... oh no, magic, then I can help too!"

"Although we can't beat those monsters, those... Sorry, Mr. Asuka, I wasn't talking about you..."

"But those Servants' summoners are just ordinary humans! I'll tear a piece of flesh off them, even if I have to bite them!"

Seeing her mother suddenly burst into tears, Jin was somewhat surprised, but she also nodded vigorously as if she were infected by her own passion.

"Yes! Let's do our best together, Mom!"

Asuka looked at the spirited mother and daughter and nodded in satisfaction.

Although the road ahead is fraught with danger, and although the opponents are all legendary heroes.

But this indomitable spirit...

Not bad.

"In that case, let's start the special training tomorrow."

Asuka crossed his arms and resumed his stern instructor demeanor.

"Shinju, your breathing technique is still too immature! Your magic usage efficiency is outrageously low! Starting tomorrow, double the training volume!"

"Ah?! Double it?!" Violet screamed in agony.

"And you, Mrs. Kamado."

Asuka looked at Haru: "Although you have the Mystic Eyes, you have absolutely no control over them. I don't know how to use them, but I'll try to teach you how to use breathing techniques to guide the power within your body, so at least you won't mess things up at crucial moments."

"Violet's magic reserves are very low, and she may need your support at crucial moments."

"Alright! Bring it on!" Haruto was full of enthusiasm: "When my father was alive, I practiced a few moves with him!"

Late at night.

The lights in the stove house were still on.

Meanwhile, on a utility pole outside the Kamado house, a mysterious assassin is observing everything inside.

"It has been confirmed that the Avenger and his Master, along with his mother and daughter, are currently residing in the Xindu residential area."

"The Master is a young girl named Sumire Kamado, whose mother is an ordinary human. She is confirmed to possess some kind of low-level Mystic Eyes and is currently undergoing basic training with the Avengers..."

Listening to the communications from his Servants, Kirei put his hands behind his back and unconsciously traced lines on his palms with his fingertips.

The bond between mother and daughter, passionate fighting spirit, and a warm family.

These words held little real meaning for him, the emotionally detached successor to the church.

"Family..." he repeated softly, the word rolling on his tongue several times before finally stopping.

"Understood. Continue surveillance, but prioritize concealment."

"Understood." The assassin on the other end nodded, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

Kirei stood still for a moment, then turned and walked toward the magic circle used for communications.

He needed to report this intelligence, along with his preliminary analysis, to Tokiomi Tohsaka.

Just as he was about to activate the magic circle, a vast and arrogant magical power unexpectedly filled the entire space.

Golden spiritual particles gathered like stars, outlining that unparalleled figure.

"Are you reporting boring trifles to Tokiomi, Kirei?"

Gilgamesh leaned lazily against the throne that had appeared out of nowhere, as if he were the master of the place.

Kirei Kotomine bowed slightly: "King of Heroes... it's about the Avengers who appeared tonight and their Masters."

"That rabid dog?" Gilgamesh frowned.

"Exactly, monitoring their every move is my and the assassins' duty."

Gilgamesh stood up, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "No need for a report. Tokiomi's strategy is too conservative, hesitant and indecisive, which is unbearable."

"Tell me the address, and I will go and meet him in person."
