Chapter 112 Rin's Adventure
It had been a week since she had breathed the night air of Fuyuki. Now it was completely winter, and the biting cold made her warm body feel very comfortable.
However, the scene around her turned the simple cold into a chill that penetrated her heart.
"Why did it become like this?"
The girl with twin ponytails and blue eyes like gemstones hugged her shoulders and looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.
It was not yet late at night, but there were very few people on the street, making it hard to believe that this was the most prosperous commercial street in Fuyuki City.
The red police lights flickered in the distance, and the hurried passers-by seemed to be fleeing. The whole street was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Curfew.
Rin Tosaka, who left Fuyuki City before the Holy Grail War began, did not know that the city had been destroyed by the warehouse street, the serial bombing of the Hyatt Hotel, and the vicious cases one after another, which made people panic, and even issued orders that would only appear in a state of war, a state of national emergency or military control.
Even if the police did not issue a warning announcement to the public, there should not be many citizens willing to go out at night. Anyone with a keen intuition should have subconsciously noticed that something dangerous was lurking in the dark night of Fuyuki City.
"--Ah, bad."
Seeing the red flash of the warning light, Rin quickly hid in the shadows of the dark alley. The patrolling police car slowly slid past her eyes. If the police found that there was a child wandering alone on the streets of Shinto at night, they would definitely not let it go.
If she was caught, Rin would not be able to achieve her goal.
The killer and the marshal's true love group did not appear, and there would naturally be no serial kidnapping cases in Fuyuki City. Rin's classmate Kotone did not disappear, but for Rin, there was another more important person who was worth her leaving the Zenjo family and coming to this city alone.
Sakura Tosaka, no, now she should be called Matou Sakura.
Even though she has become someone else's child, there is still an invisible blood bond between them.
This is a secret that no one knows, not even Sakutsuki - Matou Sakura secretly summoned a shadow familiar after practicing imaginary magic.
The familiar does not have much power or magical abilities. If you have to describe it, it is just a very fast messenger.
A little messenger running back and forth between the elder sister and the younger sister, delivering their secrets.
The items that can be carried into the imaginary submarine are limited, but a small note is enough for the children to communicate, and the taboo of secretly talking behind the adults' backs also makes the girls enjoy it.
However, after the Holy Grail War began, Tosaka Rin never received any news from Matou Sakura again.
Did something happen? Rin was worried about her sister from the bottom of her heart.
Rin naturally didn't know that it was Sakutsuki who mastered the imaginary magic and strengthened the barrier of the Matou family, nor did she know that Sakutsuki was about to leave and the contact between them would be restored.
She only knew that Sakura hadn't sent her a message for three days, maybe... something happened.
Therefore-a sleepless night was the limit of Rin's patience.
With the magic pointer her father gave her on her birthday and two crystal pieces she refined as homework while learning gem magic, Rin, who was fearless, set out on the journey to find her sister.
On the cold and bleak streets, Rin took a deep breath and encouraged herself:
"Very good, let's go to Uncle Kariya's house first!"
As long as she musters all her courage and self-esteem, ordinary things probably won't scare Rin. She drove away the coward who wanted to sneak into her heart, cheered up and walked forward quickly.
Soon, a Chinese-style mansion appeared in front of her.
Of course, it was not the old Matou house that was left with only an empty shell. In the secret call with Sakura, Rin had already known the fact that they had moved secretly, as well as many other things.
For example, the key to the door was hidden under the flower tray next to it with magic. Sakura said that this was prepared for her by Uncle Kariya.
Now it just happened to be a bargain for Rin Toosaka.
Recalling the information Sakura told her, Rin Tohsaka successfully took out the key, opened the door, and stepped into this exotic mansion-
Rin, who was eager to see Sakura, did not realize that the magic pointer in her arms trembled in an instant, and after struggling violently for a moment, it was completely silent as if it was overloaded.
"Rin, you have to remember that you can't deal with things with such a big reaction at present."
That time, it was Tohsaka Tokiomi who experimented with the magic book that left a psychological shadow on Rin, and the magic pointer was raised high, reminding her of the danger of the magic book.
The magic book that only caused the magic pointer to issue a warning almost swallowed Rin Tohsaka, and the detection result that could completely scrap the magic pointer-
The knight surrounded by black mist quietly appeared behind Rin Tohsaka.
Is it silent? Or...has it exceeded Rin's sensing range?
Berserker stood motionless at the door, watching the little girl running into the door, the pruning shears in his hand had been stained with red lines, turning into a deadly treasure.
[No hostility... passed.]
[No follower presence... passed]
[Intruder... failed]
[Prepare to attack]
Just as Berserker's eyes glowed red and he was about to pierce the girl's heart, a small humanoid familiar emerged from the shadows and intimately pressed against Rin's cheek.
"Ah, it's you!" Rin held up the shadow familiar in surprise, "You are here, which means Sakura is fine, right?"
[Aura of guarding target detected]
【Enter standby state】
The red light gradually dimmed, and the black knight turned around and disappeared into the night courtyard again.
Although the servants of the Berserker job agency were deprived of their sanity, their almost beastly minds also made their thinking single-threaded.
Berserker would naturally not attack creatures related to the Master.
Unknown to him, Rin, who had quietly escaped death, sneaked into the house under the guidance of the shadow familiar, and hid behind a corner near the living room.
In the sparsely lit living room, two figures, one large and one small, sat opposite each other. Sakura looked at Kariya with some worry, and Kariya always had that gloomy expression.
The warm light divided Kariya's face into two parts. One part was illuminated by light, while the other part was plunged into dark shadow.
"Sakura, what do you think...should I compete for the Holy Grail?"
Holy Grail!
Tohsaka Rin, who was hiding in the dark, covered her mouth and widened her eyes.
Isn't that what my father is also pursuing?
If Uncle Kariya also participates in this war, this means...
They will fight each other.
The troubled Kariya didn't pay attention to his surroundings, and naturally he wouldn't find anyone eavesdropping. He just faced his most cherished child, Matou Sakura, who was more of a daughter than a daughter, and poured out his inner uneasiness.
"When I first participated in the Holy Grail War, I wanted Tokiomi Tohsaka to pay a price and let him know that there is something more important than magic. And Tokiomi Tokiomi's purpose is for the Holy Grail, so my purpose is very simple—— Just stop Tohsaka Tokiomi."
"However, rather than causing trouble for Tokiomi Tohsaka, what I want to do more is to defeat Archer and win the Holy Grail... Isn't it ridiculous? Although there are problems with the Holy Grail in the third order of the moon, I still have this unrealistic belief. Hope.”
Having said this, Matou Kariya closed his eyes in pain, and his voice sounded like he was talking in sleep.
"If I could have woken up earlier and given that old man to..., maybe I wouldn't have to give up Kui and run away in shame like a lost dog. Maybe my fate would lead to another perfect ending..."
"It would be great if the Holy Grail could grant my wish..."
Sakura didn't speak, but a childish but angry voice sounded behind Kariya.
"What are you doing, Uncle Kariya!"
"cold?!"
In the original work, Tohsaka Rin was frightened and fainted by the sea demon as soon as he arrived in Fuyuki, and was finally rescued by Kariya. In the animation, our wise and brave Rin-chan not only destroyed Ryunosuke's hypnotic bracelet, but also rescued him. I met my friend Qin Yin...one is reality and the other is fantasy, just follow your own preferences.
