As a magician, Tokiomi Tohsaka was naturally well aware of this.

However, he is about to participate in the Holy Grail War.

He himself wasn't sure if he could come back alive from this Holy Grail War.

Therefore, he needs to make arrangements for his family members before that.

One of the arrangements was to have Sakura Tohsaka adopted into the Matou family.

This was done to obtain the Matou family's magic crest, so that Sakura's talent wouldn't be buried and she could have a better future.

At the same time, when Sakura becomes the head of the Matou family as Matou Sakura in the future, the Tohsaka family can rely on Sakura's relationship with the Tohsaka family to put the Tohsaka family and the Matou family on the same boat and strengthen the Tohsaka family's power.

However, Tokiomi Tohsaka had no idea that the Matou family had switched to insect control techniques.

Zouken Matou's soul had long since decayed and degenerated; he was an absolute old worm.

At this point, the Matou family's residence was a veritable den of insects.

Tohsaka... oh no, she should be called Matou Sakura now.

Sakura Matou looked up at Zouken Matou with some fear. Her keen intuition as a child made her sense an ominous aura emanating from him.

However, she knew that she had been adopted by her father into the Matou family, and that she would become a member of this family in the future.

Thinking of this, Matou Sakura mustered her courage and went to Matou Zouken's side, saying, "Grandpa."

Chapter 5 Type-Moon Main Quest: Kill the bugs, save Sakura

"Hahaha, what a sensible and obedient granddaughter!" Zouken Matou was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, a deep greed surfacing in the depths of his eyes.

"Don't worry, my dear granddaughter, I will give you the best of everything."

“In that case, I’ll leave Sakura in the care of the Matou family head.” Tokiomi Tohsaka looked at Matou Sakura with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

He then gave Matou Zouken a noble bow once more, turned around, got back into his car, and left the Matou family home.

Seeing this, Zouken Matou could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up, and an evil smile appeared on his old, wrinkled face.

"Come with me, Sakura. I'll take you to inherit the Matou family's Magic Crest." After saying that, Matou Zouken eagerly led Matou Sakura into the villa.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Matou Sakura's heart, but as a child, even if she had her own ideas, she had to follow the adults' arrangements.

Sakura Matou followed Zouken Matou through the villa's long corridors, winding their way to the basement.

Sakura Matou and Zouken Matou descended the stairs to the platform, where Sakura finally saw the complete appearance of the basement.

Countless insects gathered in the pool in the basement, crawling and rustling, with clear, sharp chirping sounds coming from within.

Even an adult would be terrified and break out in a cold sweat if they saw such a scene.

Not to mention Matou Sakura, who was just a child.

Her lovely, fair face had turned deathly pale, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

Zouken Matou looked at Sakura Matou, who, despite being terrified and weak-kneed, had not collapsed to the ground, and felt a little surprised.

Although she was just a child, her performance was far better than that of the previous members of her clan.

Sakura Matou has truly exceeded his expectations.

"Of course, it's a magic crest prepared for you!"

"Hahaha—that brat Tokiomi Tohsaka, does he really think I don't know what he's thinking?!"

"Isn't it just that he wants to use his youngest daughter to obtain the Matou family's magic crest and magical power?"

"His idea was good, but little did he know that his 'good intentions' would push his beloved daughter into a fire pit."

Zouken Matou did not hide anything and bluntly told the truth.

Anyway, Sakura Matou is just a child, what ability does she have to resist him?

"To thank you for sending me such great 'material'."

"Tokiomi Tohsaka! I will raise your daughter to be an excellent magician."

After saying that, Zouken Matou looked at Sakura Matou with a malicious gaze.

Before he could make a move, a loud "bang" was heard, and a large hole was suddenly smashed in the ceiling!

A figure fell from the ceiling and landed heavily on Zouken Matou.

"Damn it! You old bug." Su Luo looked at Matou Zouken at her feet and, as if she had stepped on something dirty, kicked Matou Zouken directly into the "sea of ​​bugs".

His face showed an expression of utter disgust and revulsion.

He then turned to look at the still terrified Matou Sakura, and only after seeing that she was unharmed did he reach out and wipe away imaginary sweat from his forehead.

"Phew, thank goodness I arrived in time." Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

While he was in Vimana, he found many potions and elixirs in the King's Treasury that could enhance magic and physical abilities.

Just like eating a meal, he swallowed all the medicine at once.

Under such crazy behavior, his physical fitness not only improved rapidly, but magic even began to emerge within him.

In just a few minutes, his physical condition and magical abilities underwent a tremendous transformation.

His magical power and strength have surpassed most magicians in the Type-Moon universe, and his physical abilities have allowed him to fall from a great height unscathed.

Fortunately, his adaptability is extremely strong now, otherwise he would probably have exploded and died when he took the potion.

"Master, I'm back!" Merry ran back to Su Luo's side with great joy.

"Is everything ready?" Su Luo asked.

"Of course, I've already dealt with the contingency plans this guy left behind, and I've also set up a barrier. There's absolutely no way this old bug will leave the Matou family alive!" Merry said confidently, patting her chest.

As a legendary court magician and King Arthur's mentor in Britain, if she could let a modern magician escape, she might as well find a block of tofu and smash her head against it!

"That's good. I'll leave this old bug to you from now on."

"Eh?! Master, please don't! How can you bear to send a magical girl like me to face a swarm of bugs?"

"What if some R-rated scenes appear? I'll be in big trouble then. You'd better use your Gate of Babylon to think of a solution!" Upon hearing this, Mary grabbed Su Luo's sleeve with her small hand, and a pitiful expression immediately appeared on her beautiful face.

It perfectly illustrates what it means to be pitiful.

I really don't know if Mary is a nightmare or a succubus.

After mentally ranting, Su Luo suppressed the fluttering emotions in her heart.

He turned to look at an inconspicuous insect in the swarm, trying to sneak away, and said calmly, "Are you sure you're not going to make a move? It's trying to escape."

Upon hearing this, Zouken Matou immediately controlled his insect body and flew rapidly towards the exit of the basement.

He had overheard Su Luo and Mei Li's conversation.

He knew the power of the followers.

If it were any other Servant, he might have been able to use magic to maneuver and escape.

However, their conversation reveals that the silver-haired Servant in front of them is a Caster.

It's virtually impossible to beat Caster in terms of magic.

Especially now that he's in a semi-crippled state with his physical body destroyed.

Therefore, he never considered resisting and only wanted to sneak out when Su Luo and Mei Li were off guard.

Unexpectedly, even while Su Luo and Mei Li were flirting, they still sensed his desire to escape.

Since that's the case, he has no choice but to take a gamble!

Zouken Matou manipulated most of the insect swarm towards Su Luo and Mei Li, while a small portion of the swarm surrounded him, escorting him out of the Matou family home.

Merry's gaze calmly fell upon Zouken Matou, her bright purple eyes, like amethyst crystals, radiating a captivating light.

Zouken Matou, who was flying at high speed, felt a powerful force forcibly intruding into his soul, and immediately let out a painful cry.

The next moment, Zouken Matou's soul, along with the insect that stored his soul, exploded!

The scene was terrible.

This is Merry's signature skill, Nightmare's Edge.

With just a glance, one can penetrate the enemy's mind and absorb their magic.

Of course, instead of absorbing Zouken Matou's corrupt and decadent soul, Merry chose a more direct approach, directly obliterating his spirit and soul.

This little thing was nothing more than a simple matter for her, the last nightmare on Earth.

After eliminating Zouken Matou, the look of disgust and revulsion on Merry's face transformed into a sly smile.

She moved closer to Su Luo, took his arm, and said in a suggestive tone, "Master, everything is resolved now. Considering how hard I've worked, could you give me a reward?"

I'll take care of you after Chapter 6.

Su Luo glanced at her arm and said calmly, "Okay, but let's talk about it after we find a place to settle down."

After saying that, Su Luo ignored Mei Li.

He didn't give Mary a chance to say what reward she wanted.

After all, you could tell from the way Meryl looked at him that the reward she wanted was definitely not something illegitimate.

In other places, even if Merry didn't mention it, he would still reward the servant who worked hard for him.

But not now, because Matou Sakura is still here.

Letting Merry say such explicit things in front of children, who knows if Matou Sakura will grow up to be a strange person.

Thinking of this, Su Luo squatted down to be at eye level with Matou Sakura.

A warm, large hand covered Matou Sakura's head, giving the girl a gentle pat on the head, and a tender smile appeared on his face.

"Little girl, what's your name? Are you alright?"

"No, my name is Tohsaka..." Matou Sakura had recovered from her shock and looked at the older brother who had saved her. She subconsciously wanted to say her original name.

But she suddenly remembered what Zouken Matou had said before, and the fact that she had been adopted into the Matou family by Tokiomi Tohsaka. Her eyes darkened, and she immediately changed her words, saying, "No, my name is Sakura Matou. I was adopted into the Matou family by my original family."

First, he experienced the pain of parting from his family, and then he witnessed Zouken Matou's ill intentions and the shattering of his father's bright and noble image.

Sakura Matou is now lost and confused.

She didn't want to go back to the Tohsaka family. If she did, she would most likely be adopted by her father and suffer the pain of separation from her biological parents.

Zouken Matou is already dead, and there is no one else in the villa. A little girl like her cannot survive in this villa indefinitely.

They can only seek help from adults.

Thinking of this, Matou Sakura looked at Su Luo and asked, "Brother, can I follow you from now on?"

"I'll do anything you ask me to do, from laundry and cooking to cleaning, as long as you don't make me leave."

Her voice trembled with a hint of tears as she spoke, her eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness.

She preferred being with the older brother who had rescued her from the Matou family's misery rather than returning to the Tohsaka family.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of you from now on." Su Luo gently patted Matou Sakura's head.

Then he picked up Matou Sakura and Merry and returned to Vimana.

However, before leaving, he looked at the Matou family villa and felt uneasy no matter how he looked at it, so he turned to Meryl and asked, "Meryl, how strong of an attack can the barrier you set up withstand?"

"It's alright. I was in a bit of a rush when I set it up, so it can only withstand attacks from ordinary Servants using their Noble Phantasms."

"You're not planning to use an ancient nuclear warhead here, are you?!" Mary first humbly demonstrated her strength, then suddenly realized something and looked at Su Luo with surprise.

It's hard not to make her think in that direction.

On the one hand, Su Luo's name reveals that he is from a neighboring Eastern power and has a natural hatred towards the island nation.

On the other hand, Su Luo is currently controlling Vimana.

Vimana is equipped with a variety of Noble Phantasm systems and weapons.
