I'm really not an old sword

"I didn't stand a chance in that situation."

"You're just tired."

Altria opened her mouth, then lowered her head, her hair resting on her cheeks, and no emotion could be seen in her eyes.

"Oh, you're just bragging here, when it's obvious that we are the same person."

"But if that happened to me, I would go back and at least kill all those who betrayed me, and give those who still believe in me and follow me a safe place."

"Everyone can brag."

Lin Qingsu scratched his head and rubbed Altria's head.

This time she didn't react, but her hair was so wet that it was really hard to feel. Lin Qingsu rubbed it for a while and then picked up the dishes again with boredom.

The food was served to her and placed before her mouth. Artoria cooperated by raising her head and eating bite by bite, sometimes meat and sometimes vegetables, and then taking a sip of wine. It seemed as if the two of them had not talked about the topic that had weighed on Arthur's heart.

"No matter what, don't give up hope. Keep living. Believe that as long as you don't give up on yourself, things will get better one day...if you're not dead yet."

"..."

You don't need to say that last sentence.

"I will come to accompany you every day, bring you food and chat with you."

Altria suddenly felt that this man was not so annoying anymore.

"...Thanks."

"You're welcome." Lin Qingsu smiled gently: "Just call me dad."

"roll."

As expected, I still can't like this kind of man.

......

That night, in downtown Fuyuki.

At midnight.

This not particularly prosperous seaside town had fallen asleep early on, and even the busiest downtown area was pitch black.

Lin Qingsu sat on the rooftop and enjoyed the sea breeze.

Morgan has been studying the Holy Grail in Irisviel, Illya, and Matou Sakura these days.

Irisviel and Illya's Holy Grail is not difficult.

It was something created by a group of younger magicians, so for her, it was not difficult at all to modify its operating mode and rules to prevent it from becoming a sacrifice to the Holy Grail. It just required a tiny bit of time and magic power.

The Holy Grail in Sakura Matou's body is a little difficult, but only a little difficult.

Lin Qingsu was not in a hurry to end the Holy Grail War. Here, maids provided him with food, clothing, housing and transportation. During the day, he would drink tea with his wife and tease Altria in the basement. At night, he would go out for a walk and then chat and practice sword with Souji in his "dream". Life was comfortable, so why should he rush back to reality to suffer?

Suddenly a black shadow jumped onto the tall building.

"Don't do it! I'm not an enemy!"

She was a slender woman with purple hair, wrapped in black.

Assassin.

Completely different from the form he killed in the morning, "Hassan of the Hundred Faces" has a mental disorder of multiple personalities, and has many individuals with completely different personalities and abilities in the Holy Grail, representing his different personalities in life.

"I found his tracks."

......

"be lost."

Rin Tohsaka's adventure today wasn't ideal.

She is lost.

After learning from her father's phone call that her sister Sakura was living in the Einzbern castle, she couldn't calm down.

I want to find my sister.

Although her father did not tell her what happened specifically, Toosaka Rin was actually very mature and knew that something must have gone wrong in the Matou family.

Maybe the Einzbern family suddenly attacked the Matou family, killed the Matou family's Holy Grail War contestant, and then took Sakura hostage to threaten her father.

That's right, that's it.

Toosaka Holmes Rin decided to save her sister and also to help her father.

So, the six-year-old girl returned to Fuyuki City alone after leaving a letter, and embarked on a journey to the Einzbern family to save her sister.

Then she was lost.

"where is this?"

It was pitch dark in the alley.

From time to time, the sound of garbage being rummaged through could be heard in the darkness.

The little girl hugged herself tightly in fear.

She tightly grasped the gem, which she was not very skilled at yet and could not exert much power at all, and stared at any corner.

Left, right, front, back.

Woohoo, why do I feel like there are ghosts everywhere?

Occasionally, the sight of a street lamp or a light on in a house would make Rin Toosaka quicken her pace and walk inside, but once she stepped past it, her mood would fall to the bottom again. Rin Toosaka did not dare to stand under the light, as it would be too conspicuous and would be targeted by bad guys.

In short, Toosaka Rin wants to go home.

"No, no, I must rescue my sister and not burden my father."

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from not far away but stopped abruptly.

Toosaka Rin was startled.

He immediately clenched the gem tightly, stared nervously at the source of the sound, and held his breath.

The faint sound of chewing could be heard intermittently.

Chewing sound?

Toosaka Rin suddenly became curious.

Reason told her not to get close, and it would be better to go back to the Toosaka family to find her father, but Toosaka Rin was unwilling to go back like this, and the chewing sound in the middle of the night was too strange.

She was really curious.

"Just take a look."

Come on, Toosaka Rin, you are the bravest!

After convincing herself, Toosaka Rin encouraged herself in her heart, held the gem tightly, and carefully approached the source of the sound. When she heard the sound becoming clearer and clearer, she poked her little head out to look.

Then, Toosaka Rin saw a horrifying scene that she would never forget.

Chapter 19: Rin and the Ghoul

Under the light of the street lamp, Toosaka Rin vaguely saw two people sitting or lying under the street lamp in front of her. The orange-haired man had his head buried in the other man's chest.

Because the person had his back to her, Tohsaka Rin couldn't see what they were doing.

Out of curiosity, he leaned forward slightly to get a better look, but accidentally kicked an empty can.

'Tala!'

The sound of iron sheets was particularly crisp in the silent night.

Toosaka Rin widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and watched the tin can roll forward little by little until it came to a stop behind the orange-haired man.

The orange-haired man seemed too focused to notice what was happening outside and still kept his head down.

Fortunately, nothing was discovered.

Toosaka Rin just breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the can that had stopped swayed and rolled forward again, hitting the man's foot with a snap.

The heaving upper body suddenly stopped, and the orange-haired man slowly stood up, turned his head, and looked at the object that hit him, an empty can.

And Toosaka Rin finally saw what he was doing.

The man's mouth was full of blood and minced meat, and in front of him was a corpse with a bloody abdomen.

"Well?!"

Cannibalism?!

Although she covered her mouth quickly, the horrifying scene still made her make a sound. Then Toosaka Rin felt the orange-haired man's gaze on her. She immediately shrank her body and hid in the darkness but did not dare to move too much to attract attention. She could only hope that the man's eyesight was not good.

The chaotic black eyes with a hint of blood red swept over where she was, but to Toosaka Rin's relief, the other party did not even pause and quickly moved over.

Great, didn't see myself.

Seeing the orange-haired man turn his attention back to the corpse on the ground, Toosaka Rin just breathed a sigh of relief, when she suddenly saw the man suddenly open his mouth.

Her mouth was opened to an exaggerated degree like a slit-mouthed woman.

You can clearly see the bloody meat hanging on your teeth, and even though you are several meters away, you can still smell the disgusting odor.

Toosaka Rin no longer had the strength to cover her mouth.

His teeth were chattering and his calves were weak. The horrific scene before him was beyond the endurance of a six-year-old child.

"what!"

With one bite, the orange-haired 'humanoid' monster devoured the corpse completely.

"It's too hard to eat."

The voice was that of an ordinary young man.

Tears welled up in her eyes and she prayed in her heart that the other person would leave quickly, but the other person licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked in her direction.

Did he see me?

"This little fellow has good qualifications, and should be delicious."

Looking at the man walking towards her, Toosaka Rin no longer had any hope and used up her last bit of strength and courage to turn around and run.

"Huhuhu..."

I don’t know how long I ran, I just ran as hard as I could.

The streetlights kept making a buzzing sound, the dim light flickering non-stop, and the houses on both sides were completely dark.

Toosaka Rin kept running forward.

Gradually, her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Toosaka Rin could no longer run. She dragged her body and mustered up the courage to turn her head. There was no one there except the flickering street lights.

"Did you get rid of it?"

Toosaka Rin let out a long breath and made up her mind to go find her father.

It doesn’t matter if I’m embarrassed or scolded. The world outside is too scary. I want to go home.

'Snapped. '

Suddenly, Toosaka Rin felt as if she had bumped into something, staggered back two steps, and sat on the ground with her legs going weak.

He raised his head and saw the orange-haired man bending over, looking at him and smiling.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

“A good pre-dinner exercise.”

Toosaka Rin suddenly felt that the smile was very familiar.

"Where should we eat first?"

"If you start eating from the chest and abdomen, you'll die too quickly. Although it's delicious, the taste of other parts will deteriorate."

"Those junk foods are fine, but this is premium food."
