But it's not like he doesn't have Servants he can unite with... Koizumi couldn't help but think of Gilgamesh.

Although that guy gives people a very unpleasant feeling, he is indeed a powerful fighter.

Moreover, whether in terms of his own wisdom or his own fighting ability, Gilgamesh is among the best.

He's a terrifying existence, combining the contradictory attributes of a bad teammate and a great teammate...

Therefore, for Koizumi, Gilgamesh is a good ally. At least, Koizumi thinks this Gilgamesh is more reliable. Based on Gilgamesh's deeds, Koizumi can infer that his Caster class should be the period when he became the Wise King and ruled Uruk after seeking the elixir of immortality. The two Archer Gilgamesh correspond to his childhood and adulthood respectively, so the final Caster can only correspond to the Wise King period.

So the result of the discussion between Koizumi, Shidunai and the others was - an alliance!

No matter what, the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City belongs to the participants of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. If these guys try to take the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City for themselves, then they will undoubtedly damage the interests of the people of Fuyuki City...

Therefore, if Koizumi could just find those guys from Fuyuki City who participated in the Holy Grail War, he might be able to gain a chance of winning.

Whether or not he'd be trusted was another matter. Koizumi wasn't familiar with the group participating in the Holy Grail War, but he was familiar with Gilgamesh! So, perhaps there was a chance of forming an alliance by finding Gilgamesh's Master.

Furthermore, regarding Tōsaka Rin, Koizumi already knew her during the singularity of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

However, now that the world has been corrected, all memories of Koizumi and the others are beginning to disappear, so...

Toosaka Rin probably doesn't know Koizumi right now, but this doesn't affect Koizumi's understanding of Toosaka Rin.

Even in a different world, there is no doubt that the personality of Tousaka Rin of Fuyuki City will not change at all.

However, Zhidune was very dissatisfied with the idea of ​​forming an alliance with that guy Gilgamesh.

According to Koizumi's observations, Illya and Gilgamesh probably had some kind of feud during the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Since Shidune doesn't want to see that Gilgamesh, Koizumi has no choice but to take the others to find Gilgamesh.

"Thank you for coming to accompany me, Mashu..." Koizumi smiled as he looked at Mashu beside him.

Ritsuka stayed in Einzbern Castle with Irisviel. The reason why Ritsuka didn't come was very simple. It was as a safety measure. In case someone found Einzbern Castle and was about to attack Irisviel and the others, it would be better to have Ritsuka there. Ritsuka was already able to use some of Beast's power. If Shidune couldn't win, let Beast go!

Ritsuka's ability could at least be used to help Irisviel and Shidunai escape...

Furthermore, at a critical moment, Ritsuka could also use the Command Seal to call Mashu over for assistance, although Koizumi doubted that the other party would call Mashu over, because Ritsuka's human evil power was already enough to cover the retreat...

If I call Mashu over, it will only hinder us...

"There's no need to thank me, Koizumi-senpai. Actually, I haven't been of any help at all. If I were a little stronger, or if I could just learn the true name of the Heroic Spirit who entrusted their power to me... then I could become even stronger..."

Seeing Mashu's self-deprecation, Koizumi couldn't help but sigh. This kid is really...

boom!

"It hurts, it hurts..." Mashu covered her head with her hands, tears in the corners of her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.

"You're just imagining nonsense again. Your strength is very weak, but I think you're much stronger than me, Mashu..."

"Huh?" Mashu was slightly stunned.

"Mashu, if I'm not mistaken, you're a test-tube baby born to fulfill a sub-Servant experiment, right?... Created this way, your maximum active life span shouldn't exceed 18 years. Even fusion with a Heroic Spirit wouldn't be able to prevent your own cellular aging. With you like this, you could die at any time due to bodily dysfunction..."

As he said this, Koizumi couldn't help but show a look of pity in his eyes.

"Eh? How did Koizumi-senpai know that?" A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Mashu's face.

"The first time I saw you, Kaguya saw through the true nature of your body."

Kaguya saw at a glance that Mashu was the accumulation of human desires, but this child born of desire was full of innocence. This alone made Kaguya love her immensely, while Koizumi more or less knew something about Mashu from her.

What a pitiful girl... Koizumi thought to himself.

Upon hearing this, Mashu was also slightly surprised, but did not say anything, just showed a hint of doubt.

"Why do you think I'm so strong, Koizumi-senpai? Even in combat..."

"Strength can't be proven by fighting, Mashu..."

"You must remember one thing: the strength of your shield isn't reflected in the hollowness of battle, but in your own heart... The purer and more resolute your heart, the more your shield will be able to withstand any powerful force. I consider you powerful because, despite your tragic past, you harbor no hatred for anyone and maintain such a pure character. In this respect alone, I can't compare..."

"Mashu, you must remember that the power of the Heroic Spirit within you is not due to her own bravery, but rather to her noble and unwavering heart, a will that is unwavering... You and she share a deep resemblance, which is why she recognized you and entrusted her power to you..."

As he spoke, Koizumi looked at Mashu, whose gaze gradually grew firmer, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Your shield doesn't exist to defeat the enemy, but to protect someone, right?"

The words lingered in Mashu's ears, and the figure of a certain person gradually appeared in her mind, and then -

Mashu nodded heavily, a grateful smile on her face.

"Koizumi-senpai, thank you so much..."

Chapter 1242 I am a professional in cheating Jin Shanshan!

The door to the Tōsaka residence opened, and Koizumi and Mashu walked in silently, and then—

Gilgamesh looked at Koizumi with an expression that said, "I knew you would come looking for me," leaving Koizumi completely bewildered.

Honestly, after seeing Gilgamesh like this, Koizumi really wanted to just leave...

The reason is simple. Gilgamesh obviously saw that I was looking for him for something. I really don't want to see you look so smug as if you calculated that I would come looking for you, so I just left and didn't look for you anymore...

However, after thinking about it, Koizumi decided that this behavior was a bit childish, so he silently suppressed the thought.

Mashu followed Koizumi rather cautiously, glancing around furtively.

It turns out that Miss Rin's house is so big... Mashu, who rarely goes to other people's homes, couldn't help but say this in her heart.

Although the Tohsaka family has fallen on hard times now, at least this house is still quite large. They just aren't as wealthy as before. Anyway, after the Fourth Holy Grail War, not only Tohsaka Tokiomi was gone, but even Tohsaka Rin's mother died. It's only natural that Tohsaka Rin has done her best to support the Tohsaka family for so long...

Gu Quan and the others didn't know the secrets here, and they had no interest in what was going on there.

No matter what, Koizumi and the others are just passing through this world, so it's OK as long as these things are resolved.

And after they leave, Rin and the others will lose their memories of Koizumi, so knowing that will do them no good. At most, they'll offer some sympathy, like "How miserable you are!" How can that possibly boost the Tohsaka family, where Rin is, in any way? It's impossible...

"Hello again, Jin Shan... cough cough cough... Hero King..."

Considering the alliance, Koizumi thought it would be better for him to be more careful with his wording.

No matter what, he still had to ask for help. Who knew if Gilgamesh would act capriciously just because he was unhappy with him? Although he was very annoyed with his capriciousness, Koizumi couldn't do anything about it.

But if Gilgamesh were to act willfully at this moment, Koizumi would be in real trouble.

After all, in this singularity, Koizumi is the only one he can form an alliance with.

Of course, that's not to say that others aren't capable. After all, Shidunay has an exceptionally good understanding of the intelligence surrounding this world, and Koizumi doesn't believe he won't be able to find someone he can form an alliance with. But none of these guys are more reliable than Gilgamesh!

So no matter what, let's go find Gilgamesh first, and if that doesn't work, then find someone else...

"Hmph! You bastard arrived just in time. Looks like this singularity is giving you a headache too..."

Gilgamesh said this, glancing at Mashu beside Koizumi, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he spoke.

"A Chaldean artifact isn't even staying with that human-controlled pest. Aren't they worried about it going berserk?" Gilgamesh's words made Koizumi and Mashu's pupils widen. Had he, who had never met Ritsuka, actually grasped her identity? This Gilgamesh was truly extraordinary...

"Gilgamesh, you bastard..." At this moment, Koizumi's heart was truly filled with huge waves of shock.

Knowing that he'd seen himself before, Koizumi could roughly guess that Gilgamesh had some ability to see through hidden secrets, but he could actually detect something about Ritsuka, a person he'd never met before. This was truly...

"Hmph! Master burdened with illusions, artifact of the observatory, I know exactly why you are here, because I can see everything, including your past and origins, as well as the future you are destined to face..."

Hearing this, Koizumi couldn't help but clench his fists. The feeling of having everything seen through was truly overwhelming.

Everything about me, whether it's what I want to know, what I don't know yet, or what I don't want others to know, it seems like this king knows everything. Isn't this ability too exaggerated...

Thinking of this, Gu Quan took a deep breath. Since he knew everything, he would just speak frankly.

Facing the king before him, any concealment and deception would be meaningless.

So instead of hiding something from him or deceiving him, it is better to tell him everything you want to say.

"Since you know everything, I'll be frank. I'm here to form an alliance with you. What do you think? King Gilgamesh... I can't do anything about this singularity up to this point!"

Koizumi is truly powerless. His Command Seals can only summon one Servant, and only for a short time, so Koizumi has not used his Command Seals until now... This Command Seal must be used at the very end.

He took a quick look and found that Rin Toosaka was not here. Does that mean that Rin Toosaka is not here now?

Judging from the time and Rin Toosaka's age, she should have gone to school.

This is not bad. I can just discuss it with Gilgamesh myself. There is no need to tell Rin. Or I can let Gilgamesh tell Rin. Although Koizumi doesn't really want to deal with Gilgamesh.

"If any ordinary bastard dares to negotiate with this king, he should be sentenced to death..."

As he spoke, a cold murderous intent flickered in Gilgamesh's eyes, but—

As if he thought of something interesting, Gilgamesh smiled softly, and his eyes returned to calmness again.

"However, you do possess value that I recognize. Although you can never be compared to me, I am not unwilling to agree to an alliance... Of course, if you wish to know the truth about this singularity, you should pursue it yourself... I have no obligation to answer your question!"

Gilgamesh's words made Koizumi roll his eyes. He hadn't even intended to ask about this.

If this guy really wanted to tell him, Koizumi would have asked him directly last night.

Therefore, Koizumi did not intend to get any information about this singularity from Gilgamesh.

All he needed was Gilgamesh's fighting power... With Gilgamesh as his thug, Koizumi could have an easier time. At least this Gilgamesh was just like him, capable of fighting many at once.

If all else fails, just throw Gilgamesh up to give it to him... Anyway, he wasn't supposed to be summoned by Toosaka Rin, so there's no pressure at all to give it to him!

Gu Quan said, I am a professional when it comes to letting my teammates down!

Chapter 1243 A pair of awkward sisters

"Sakura..."

At school, when Toosaka Rin saw her junior schoolmate, Matou Sakura, walking towards her, she ran up to her without saying a word.

Toosaka Rin and Matou Sakura were originally sisters, but they were separated because of what Toosaka Tokiomi did. Although they interact less frequently now, in fact, Toosaka Rin has always been paying attention to Matou Sakura.

For example, if a senior is very nice to Sakura, then Toosaka Rin will naturally take care of that senior.

No matter what, since he takes care of your younger sister, it is normal for you to take care of that senior and make your younger sister happier... Look, that man named Emiya Shirou takes good care of Tousaka Rin.

For example, in the original world line, seeing Shirou Emiya die was as sad as seeing your own boyfriend die.

This is what created the connection between Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou, and the fact that Tohsaka Rin can only summon Emiya Shirou, who has become a Heroic Spirit in the future, without using the Holy Relic, that is, the Nameless of Chaldea...

However, Chaldea's Nameless, in addition to the element of Shirou Emiya, also has an element called "Hero of Justice".

Shirou Emiya serves as the leading consciousness, and has fused the power of the "hero of justice" that many people dream of.

This is the Nameless of Chaldea... a chess piece left in Chaldea as the restraining force of Alaya...

In other words, it symbolically expresses that my primate restraint is on the side of you, Chaldea!

Back to the topic, after seeing Sakura, Toosaka Rin quickly ran to Sakura with an anxious look on her face.

"Sakura, are you okay... I heard that the Matou mansion seemed to be attacked by someone, and I haven't seen anyone from you. Are you okay? Are you hurt or anything..." While saying this, Toosaka Rin began to feel Sakura's whole body, as if checking if Sakura was injured anywhere. At this time, she completely forgot that she was no longer her sister.

From the moment she was pushed into the insect cave by Matou Zouken ten years ago, Matou Sakura is no longer the former Tousaka Sakura.

Toosaka Rin didn't know this and just thought that her sister was resentful of why she was the one adopted by the Matou family instead of herself. So Toosaka Rin hardly ever talked to her sister and didn't even dare to recognize her. Of course, the reason for not daring to recognize her was also the contract that Toosaka Tokiomi and Matou Zouken signed when she was adopted by the Matou family.

So even if the two sisters know that the other is their older sister, they cannot recognize each other at all.

But even if they can't recognize each other, he doesn't need a reason to care about Sakura, so Rin is so nervous now.

"Tousaka-senpai..." A very distant name came out of Sakura's mouth, which made Tousaka Rin slightly stunned.

"I'm fine... I happened to be away from home that day, so I escaped harm. Thank you for your concern..."

Sakura Matou kept her head down and didn't look directly at Rin Tohsaka in front of her, giving people a very cowardly feeling.

It is obvious that Sakura Matou is the type who has a lot to say in front of the person she likes, but when she meets an extrovert like Rin Toosaka, she becomes very timid. After all, Sakura herself is an honest and self-deprecating type.

After seeing that Sakura didn't seem to be in any serious trouble, Toosaka Rin also breathed a sigh of relief. At least she was okay.

After seeing the Matou mansion turned into ruins that day, Toosaka Rin felt as if the sky was about to fall.

Ten years ago, her parents died. During these ten years, it was mainly with the help of Kotomine Kirei that she became what she is today. Moreover, the main reason why she worked so hard during these ten years was for her sister...

She worked hard to learn magic and insisted on being the best in all aspects because she believed that if she worked as hard as possible, she might be able to share the pain that Sakura endured.

But if anything happened to Sakura, Toosaka Rin would never forgive herself.

Now that she saw that nothing happened to Sakura, Toosaka Rin also breathed a sigh of relief. It was so good that she was okay.

"Now that the Matou Mansion has been destroyed, you have nowhere to live. Why don't you come to my house..."

Although it is the Holy Grail War now, and it might be dangerous to let Sakura live in her house, this is a good opportunity to quickly warm up her relationship with Sakura, so Toosaka Rin still wants to give it a try to let Sakura live in her house. As long as she moves in, she will have to live here for the rest of her life.

Toosaka Rin is absolutely confident that she can definitely restore the relationship between her and Sakura that they had in their childhood.

Sakura Matou was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and spoke under the surprised gaze of Rin Tohsaka.
