A person is in Type-Moon, goes out, and then picks up an Outer God girl?

At this moment, Zouken Matou, who suddenly stood up from the insect cave, had shock in his eyes. He did not complete his "rebirth" in some corner of the outside world. Even though the imprinted insect representing "him" had tried its best to run towards the outside world, the place where he finally completed the reorganization was in the basement of Matou's mansion, in the insect cave with many insect familiars.

It’s that inherent barrier!

In an instant, Matou Zouken realized why this had happened, and his heart, which had been beating very slowly, suddenly skipped a beat.

At the same time, the second sentence spoken by the yellow-clothed Caster so far seemed to penetrate countless walls and reach his ears directly.

"It's almost time. If you want to hide, hide well~"

Water, Wind, Flower: Chapter 33: Hide and Seek? How about using stillness to overcome movement?

The villa in the dark night seemed to be filled with a strange atmosphere. It was quiet, so quiet that even the water dripping from the bathroom in the corner and the wind gently blowing the leaves outside the window could be heard clearly.

At the moment separated from the real world, the whole villa is like a huge script-killing venue. A yellow figure floats by silently and appears in any place like a ghost.

The huge Matou family seemed to be a family that was not as quiet and lonely as this one. With the help of the ability of the Nobleman of Wind, Duanmu Ye ignored the doors that were sealed with magic and kept moving back and forth among them. He couldn't help but feel a little admiration for this Western-style house built on the basis of a prosperous family.

In 1994, such a villa was not necessarily an asset that the normal working class could afford. Even the more luxurious Tohsaka Mansion and Einzbern Castle, like the Matou family, were products of five hundred years ago. Such financial resources made Duanmu Ye feel the real gap between the rich and the poor.

Of course, the wealth of the magicians in the other world is naturally not something that a coder like him can pry into, but this does not prevent him from completely eradicating Zouken Matou, whose original intention has been distorted, and the entire Matou family, which has been cultivated into a nest of insects, from Fuyuki in order to prevent it from falling into the crisis of the Holy Grail War again.

What puzzled Duanmu Ye was that he had clearly used the ability of the Nobleman of Wind to sweep the entire mansion, and even had Van Gogh draw a map of the entire mansion, including the insect house in the basement, and report the location in real time through the ability of telepathy.

But the wind that should have swept away all living things did not bring him any information about Matou Sakura or Matou Zouken. It was as if they were covered by the insects that filled every corner of the mansion, leaving no trace.

"A trick using bugs..."

It must be said that Matou Zouken is indeed a master of playing with insects. When he completely spread out his body and merged with the insect swarm, he was betting that Duanmu Ye did not have the ability to accurately detect each individual insect. And that was the fact. Neither the summoning and suggestion of the Water Priest nor the emptiness and concealment of the Wind Nobleman had such ability.

Of course, such a trick would not be difficult for Duanmu Ye, it was just a matter of fire, but he did not want to create a possibility for Matou Zouken to escape.

As the one who possesses the most complete intelligence on the entire Fourth War, apart from the fact that it is unknown whether Van Gogh replaced Gilles de Rais's original Caster position, and that this Holy Grail War is really only a fight between seven knights, the information Duanmu Ye possesses is accurate to the individual.

Duanmu Ye, who had frequently searched Moegirlpedia and Baidu for character information, knew clearly that among the insect familiars created by Matou Zouken, in addition to the reconnaissance bugs used for reconnaissance, the engraving bugs used to create magic circuits and magic power, and the winged blade bugs used for killing, there were also fireproof bugs used to counter the fire-attribute magic of the Tenke bug technique.

At this moment, Matou Zouken, who hid his body in the pile of insects and controlled the insects to fill the entire mansion, was planning to use fire element magic to burn the mansion to ashes, so that he could mistakenly believe that everything was settled and use the fireflies' inherent characteristics to carry his body away from his sight.

"Damn...did he notice?"

In the darkness, among the wriggling swarm of insects, a pair of eyes flashing with crimson light locked onto a cloud of mist that could not be described in words.

Reason told Zouken Matou that the black mist was Caster, the one who had forced him into such a desperate situation. However, when he set his eyes on the mist, various images kept appearing in his mind: a roaring figure with a sturdy human body but a tentacle head, a pitch-black pharaoh, a bat staring at him with flaming tricuspid eyes, and so on...

The moment countless creatures that had never been heard of or seen set their sights on the mist, it was as if an explosion had caused their thoughts and reason to go blank in an instant. Just by observing this, countless insects had died beside him, and his soul had changed countless carriers.

If it were a normal magician, even an abnormal black magician, faced with a swarm of insects that filled the entire mansion and left him helpless, he would choose to use fire elemental magic to wipe them out. Matou Zouken gritted his teeth and couldn't help but fall into suspicious fear at the sound of the insects' wings flapping.

Could it be that Caster is really a pharaoh from an ancient Egyptian dynasty?

In addition to the blessings of the Sun God and the Sky God, and the abilities of space and summoning, is there an eye that can see through reality and obtain intelligence?

Otherwise, how could he have realized the abilities of all his insects in such a short time, and when he was at a loss, he started to enjoy the breakfast left on the table by Matou Kariya before he left, instead of continuing to explore deeper?

Duanmu Ye, who was a little hungry, sat at the dining table. As the tentacles extending from his body skillfully opened each kitchen utensil, the ingredients stored in the refrigerator were easily turned into a sumptuous meal and presented in front of Duanmu Ye.

Although he used the Faceless Walker to replace Van Gogh as a servant of the Outer Gods and obtained almost inexhaustible magic power from Van Gogh, he was still a human being after all. Without the spiritual clothes of "Van Gogh", even if he did not use the Faceless Walker to disguise himself, if he was thrown into the crowd, he would probably be mistaken for a Chinese who had smuggled into Japan.

But at this point in time, if he encountered Chinese people who had smuggled into Japan, Duanmu Ye wouldn't mind cleaning up the garbage that had crossed the ocean.

Putting the fried egg into his mouth, feeling the lingering fragrance of the egg, Duanmu Ye, who had not had a good meal for a long time, immediately shed tears of emotion. You know, the last time he had a meal, he had soup dumplings with Mapo Tofu flavor. Duanmu Ye thought he would never forget that taste.

Fortunately, the kitchen of the Matou family has all the ingredients he can think of, and it is not difficult to cook some simple dishes here. And the fact that they turned a blind eye to the group of insects outside naturally made Matou Zouken make some unreasonable associations.

Since he has been hiding in this mansion, instead of looking for him myself, it is better to let him jump out when he can't hold it anymore. It won't be too late to use wine or kill him.

However, just as Duanmu Ye was using the tentacles that extended from his body as very convenient hands to cook remotely, and the hand that stretched out from his yellow cloak was tasting the food on the plate in front of him, the sound of the restaurant door being pushed open not far away attracted his attention.

The purple-haired girl who walked out from behind the door rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat opposite Duanmu Ye as if she didn't notice anything unusual.

"Uncle Kariya, didn't you go out?"

Water, Wind, Flower: Chapter 34: Found You

The purple-haired girl did not notice anything unusual. In this quiet mansion, in this unusual situation where she was clearly awake but still in darkness, the girl sat opposite him as if she was unaware of it.

Duanmu Ye stopped putting the fried egg into his mouth with a fork when the little girl arrived. Under the pale mask that no one else could see, he couldn't help but blink, and the emotions in his heart suddenly exploded.

The sleight of hand used by Zouken Matou not only hid him in the swarm of insects, but also caused Sakura Matou, who had suffered from the invasion of the marking insects and stayed with the insects day and night and was contaminated with their scent, to be naturally affected by the swarm's sleight of hand.

While he didn't find Matou Zouken, he also didn't find Matou Sakura. But now that he wanted to fill his stomach and put pressure on Matou Zouken, it seemed that he no longer needed to look for Matou Sakura.

"Is that so... You woke up a little early, Sakura."

The ability of the Mars Flower has been in use all the time. After all, Duanmu Ye, who had experienced the battle with Gilgamesh, knew clearly that although the lower limit of this thing was low, the upper limit was also ridiculously high.

Even though Gilgamesh was wearing golden armor with extremely high resistance to magic, he was still able to create a gap for himself under the influence of the illusion. From then on, the Flower of Mars, which continued to operate no matter what happened, became a permanent or passive ability.

"morning?"

Sakura Matou's face was full of confusion as she looked at the clock hanging on the wall. The hands on it pointed exactly at half past six.

"It's getting late, Uncle Kariya. Usually at this time, Grandpa would have taken me to the Worm Cave to learn magic. Even though Grandpa told me not to go to the Worm Cave for the time being since last night, I still can't sleep when the time comes..."

What kind of magic is that? It is nothing more than throwing the body into a swarm of crested insects to transform the body, so that the young body of Matou Sakura can be more compatible with the insect magic of the Matou family, and can be more developed into the "Little Holy Grail" that no one knows about, and can become the "vessel" of Matou Zouken.

With the help of the power of the Mars Flower, Duanmu Ye, who had turned into the probably cold Matou Kariya in Matou Sakura's eyes, continued to enjoy the meal in his hand, and drove his tentacles to make a portion of the same food for Matou Sakura.

"Can I eat it? Can I eat it without asking Grandpa for permission?"

Looking at the steaming and fragrant bacon, fried eggs, and buttered bread in front of her, Sakura Matou still did not take any action and showed signs of struggle.

Duanmu Ye found it hard to imagine what kind of inhuman abuse this young girl, whose age was not even yet in her twenties, had suffered during the time she was adopted into the Matou family.

Of course, he didn't really want to know the specific details because there was no need.

Almost all topics about Sakura Matou cannot avoid what she has endured. Facing what has already happened, there is no need to make any attempts to make amends now, especially for him who has no relationship with Sakura Matou. Saving Sakura Matou has no meaning at all.

Should he just leave her like that? Matou Kariya, the one who cared about him the most, was already dead, and Matou Zouken wouldn't have a chance of surviving his own hands. Should he send her back to the Tōsaka family, letting her experience Tōsaka Rin's love up close and realize more deeply that her past could never be repaired?

Duanmu Ye couldn't think of the safest way to deal with it, so he decided to ask for his own opinion.

"Eat, the old man is busy with his own business now, so there's nothing wrong with being a bad boy for a while."

Duanmu Ye smiled and pushed the Western breakfast with the "Incomparable" logo towards Matou Sakura in an extremely gentle voice.

Although Duanmu Ye wanted to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks rather than fried eggs and bread, perhaps influenced by Van Gogh, he subconsciously made the simplest meal, which is the so-called Western breakfast.

"Bad boy..."

Sakura Matou's expression seemed to be filled with sadness, as if she was recalling some bad memories. As she picked up the knife and fork to cut the food in front of her, a sadness that was enough to make anyone heartbroken appeared on her face.

Duanmu Ye watched this scene quietly and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, but he didn't feel too much emotion, only a little sympathy.

Of course, his feelings for Sakura Matou's experience were merely sympathy. In Duanmu Ye's opinion, the pain Sakura Matou had suffered was already irreversible. Even if he killed Zouken Matou, the harm she had suffered would not disappear, and would even become more obvious.

The culprit who caused all this has disappeared, so why does she still have to endure such pain and such a past?

Save Sakura? He was already worried enough about the power in his body. Maybe because he adopted her, she would also be infected with the power of the Outer God, and it was possible that she would become a BB faster.

"Sakura, if I let you treat what happened in the past as a dream and return to normal life, would you be able to accept the world again?"

Duanmu Ye asked tentatively, while Matou Sakura was slightly stunned, but soon bit her lower lip with her teeth.

"Maybe......"

It was not a definite answer. At least at this moment, Sakura Matou could not imagine such a thing happening to herself. At least now she did not think that after suffering all this, she could continue to live as if nothing had happened.

Matou Sakura did not say what was in her mind, but Duanmu Ye had already noticed it, so he opened his mouth again to ask.

"Is that so... Sakura, do you think death can heal all filth and sin?"

Duanmu Ye, who did not believe in God and at most believed in the God of Wealth, found it hard to believe that he would actually say such theological words, but Matou Sakura showed a rather calm smile and gave an affirmative answer, which was different from before.

"At least if I die, I won't have to endure suffering anymore, right?"

Duanmu Ye was silent. With this answer, he thought that he had already received the answer from Matou Sakura.

After putting the last bite of food on the plate into his mouth and swallowing it after chewing, Duanmu Ye slowly stood up and walked towards the restaurant door behind Matou Sakura.

Hidden in the darkness, Zouken Matou left a drop of sweat that did not exist. Zouken Matou, who was supposed to use insect magic in the insect cave to project what the insects saw into his own eyes, finally came to the restaurant where the protagonists gathered in person.

His soul is hidden in a crested worm in Sakura Matou's body. Although the original plan was to place it in a more secret place, that is, in Sakura Matou's heart, it was abandoned because a suitable parasitic container was never made.

At this moment, Matou Zouken kept praying in his heart, praying that this Caster did not notice what was hidden in Matou Sakura's body and just left peacefully. Even if the entire Matou family was burned down, even if all the insects cultivated for five hundred years were burned to ashes, as long as he was still alive, there would be a chance to start over!

However, a heavy piercing sound shattered Matou Zouken's fantasy. Behind the figure who pushed the door open, blood splattered from the heart in the chest, staining half of the restaurant table and floor with hot blood.

However, instead of caring about Sakura Matou who was on her last breath, Zouken Matou, who realized that Csater had left, twisted his body like crazy and came to Sakura Matou, and drilled into her without mercy.

A white jade object that looked like an insect egg was taken out, and Matou Zouken, who had hidden it in his stomach, couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

The yellow-clothed Caster really didn't notice the container containing his soul hidden under Sakura Matou's belly. As long as the inherent barrier covering the mansion disappeared, he would appear in the suburbs of Fuyuki City and stay away from here until the next opportunity to obtain the Holy Grail!

As Zouken Matou was twisting his body and rushing towards the gate with the swarm of insects, he suddenly felt a chill. The feeling from his back made him feel a little palpitated for no apparent reason, and Caster's voice came from behind the next moment.

"Found you..."

Water, Wind, and Flower: Chapter 35: Slip on your knees, and then sacrifice your granddaughter to the outer gods?

Escape...can't escape!

Feeling the almost locked gaze behind him, although Zouken Matou was not sure whether he was really being stared at, he just had the feeling that he was being stared at by something.

Hiding in the seething swarm of insects, placing all his hopes on these confusing insects, Zouken Matou clearly realized that the gap between magicians is irreparable. The fundamental reason why the magicians of the Age of Gods are magicians of the Age of Gods is that their abilities cannot be known or mastered by modern magicians.

Even though he had accumulated five hundred years of experience, when faced with a pharaoh who was deeply favored by the gods and lived in an ancient Egyptian dynasty that was still full of mystery and the Age of Gods, his five hundred years of experience was like a baby who had just learned to walk seeing a peer who had already started jumping high.

It was clearly impossible, but the gap was right in front of him. It was just a moment of carelessness that led him to fall into Caster's trap, which seemed to have been waiting for an opportunity from the very beginning!

The swarm of insects gradually gathered together. The swarm of insects mixed with various kinds of insects seemed to be Zouken Matou's last resort. They used the strongest things of all the insects accumulated over five hundred years and gradually gathered into human form by gnawing on a portion of human flesh prepared in advance.

Zouken Matou reappeared at the door with an extremely pale face. There was no doubt that this was his "original body" state where his soul had not been retrieved for nearly hundreds of years. If he was killed in this state, then his wish and the long-cherished wish of the Matou family would be shattered in his hands.

"Sir Caster... you killed my son and my granddaughter. I am willing to offer you everything the Matou family has accumulated in this area, even providing your Master with information on other participants. The most crucial information, regarding Tōsaka and the Einzbern, will definitely satisfy you and give you unexpected surprises!"

Zouken Matou spoke almost pleadingly, and knelt on the ground as he turned around. After Zouken Matou knelt down, the rustling swarms of insects completely made way for Caster in front of them.

Duanmu Ye quietly looked at the old man kneeling in front of him, without a trace of peace in his heart, and even had a slight urge to laugh.

As a traditional skill of the Japanese, when faced with some irreparable mistakes or something out of control, they always bend their worthless waists 90 degrees as if they had received professional training, and then add a phrase "Red Bean Paste Private Marseille" to accompany the performance.

Duanmu Ye never expected that something like this would happen in this other world of Japan, even to his own face. It should be said that this spirit of bowing is really engraved in the DNA of every Japanese...

Of course, Duanmu Ye also knew that the reason why Matou Zouken made such a move at this moment was not for what he said about leaving a trace of inheritance of bloodline or magic imprint, but he just wanted to survive. If he really wanted to leave some traces of magic for inheritance, he should have stood up to stop himself when Matou Sakura's heart was destroyed from the inside by the tentacles.

Silence was undoubtedly the best response at this moment. The chill that spread from the top of his head throughout his body made Zouken Matou's face, which was already as pale as a mummy, even paler. The uncertainty of what the other party was going to do, and the fear that his life was threatened at every moment, with only one step left, forced Zouken Matou to speak again.

"If you feel that this is not enough, I am willing to assist you with additional summons. You may not know that I was one of the founders of this Holy Grail War. The system and Command Spells for summoning and enslaving Servants are my masterpieces."

"If you truly desire to obtain the Holy Grail, then cooperate with me and use your methods and my skills to summon an additional Servant to assist in the battle. Those rabble gathered here will certainly not be your match!"

Matou Zouken paused, and his head lowered even lower, even touching the ground for a while, feeling the biting chill brought by the mist that rose from the ground for some unknown reason.

"I only ask that you spare my life. My granddaughter, who survived even after having her heart removed thanks to my transformation, possesses an extremely rare imaginary attribute. Using her as a sacrifice for your additional Servant is perfect!"

However, Matou Zouken, who thought he had offered a very attractive price, felt unprecedented pressure the next moment. It was as if he was under the oppression of some huge and terrifying beast, causing his body to stick completely to the ground, and even slightly deformed due to being squeezed.

Watching all this coldly, Duanmu Ye truly expressed the idea of ​​killing someone for the first time.

If the battle with Matou Kariya was entirely because the opponent did not have long to live, and he almost killed himself without even doing anything, and if killing Matou Sakura was actually a kind of relief for her, what he did was to truly and completely sever her unbearable experience and the despair of carrying such experience into the future.

So at this moment, in order to save his own life, Zouken Matou was willing to sacrifice his "granddaughter" to the outer gods. He had no idea what kind of heaven-defying things would be summoned by sacrificing Sakura Matou to the outer gods. He definitely exposed the deepest ugliness of a magician in front of Duanmu Ye.

There are good and bad people in the Magic Association. There are people with conscience like Weber Velvet, and there are also people like Marisbury who can do anything to achieve his dream. Insect magic is certainly not worth mentioning to the magicians of the Magic Association, but this method of achieving alternative immortality will inevitably be "sealed" by the Magic Association, and then improved and used by them.

There is no doubt that Matou Zouken is one of those born magicians. Even if he had ideals of justice in the past, that was only in the past. Using things from the past to deny the sins of the present, why not compare it with when he was just born?

"Get up, Matou. I allow you to raise your head and see my true face."

A blurred voice emerged in his ears. As a magician who understood the personalities of familiars, Matou Zouken's experience told him that when a familiar is willing to let you look directly at it, it means that it has gained enough trust in you.

You know, from the very beginning, Caster has been hiding his true identity, just like Assassin, making people panic. Even though Assassin has left the stage, everyone is more afraid of being assassinated by Caster than when Assassin was still there.

But now, he has the opportunity to see Caster's true appearance, and may even learn his real name through his true appearance. This is undoubtedly great news for him.

So, as he slowly raised his head and looked in front of him, Matou Zouken had already made up his mind to obtain the Holy Grail together with this Caster.

But when he looked up and saw the true face beneath the hood, Matou Zouken realized how naive his previous thoughts were...

-

Although Matou Sakura is dead, "Matou Sakura" will not go offline (happy)
