Chapter 769 The Land of Fuyuki

 Fuyuki City.

 Looking at the familiar land in front of her, Sakura seemed quite calm. She originally thought she would be more excited, but when she actually returned to this land, Sakura found that she did not seem to be as sad or painful as she had imagined. Although she also has some bad memories here, but...after all, those are in the past.

 And she also had a new life.

Of course, Sakura also secretly asked someone to conduct an investigation into the affairs of the Tohsaka family. Her father, Tokiomi Tosaka, seemed to have died during the Fourth Holy Grail War, and her mother also fell ill from grief after that. Pass away and live forever. In fact, after arriving here, Sakura secretly visited the cemetery and laid flowers for the two of them.

To be honest, Sakura has very complicated feelings towards her father. On the one hand, as a magician, she understood why her father sent her away. But on the other hand, as a daughter, she also resented her father for abandoning her - why did he choose herself instead of her sister?

  Unfortunately, for Sakura, this question may never be answered.

At the moment, Sakura is standing on the top of Fuyuki's building, holding a telescope and looking at her former home. Of course, the telescope was also one of the magic gifts that Fiore made for her. Fiore, who was quite accomplished in séance and ergonomics, also had a unique idea when creating the magic gift—she did not just create it. The magic gift is to create a magic gift and at the same time integrate the soul of the animal into it through spiritual séance, so that the magic gift has the same ability as the animal itself.

Such as the telescope currently used by Sakura, it is integrated with the soul of an eagle, so in terms of "Eagle Eyes", it is even comparable to ARCHER, a servant. This is why Sakura can clearly see the Tohsaka family even if she is on top of the building in the new urban area.

Fiore made a total of four pieces of this equipment for use together. According to Fiore, she got inspiration from the cartoons her brother watched, such as eagle eyes, wolf ears, The speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear... I have to say, it's pretty easy to use.

 Speaking of which, what happened to the Great Holy Grail?

While immersed in the memories of the past, Sakura was also secretly wondering. After securing the base, she had certainly been to the location of the Great Holy Grail. However, what surprised Sakura was that she could not enter the Great Hollow at all. It's as if the entire space there has been directly isolated, which once again proves that there is indeed something wrong with the Great Holy Grail... I don't know when Brother Duanmu and Sister Lorena will come back...

Thinking of this, Sakura felt somewhat sad.

I still have a lot to say to them...

 “MASTER, the target has appeared.”

At this moment, the voice of ASSASSIN sounded, and Sakura hurriedly put her thoughts back and picked up the binoculars again. Then she saw a black-haired girl with twin ponytails wearing a red coat walking out of the house.

"elder sister………"

Looking at the girl, Sakura couldn't help but mutter to herself. There is almost no difference between her and the sister in her memory. She is still as high-spirited and looks full of confidence. Perhaps because she has grown up, she is a little more calm... huh?

“Is that a Command Seal on the back of my sister’s hand? Huh? I’ve already used up one Command Seal?”

Looking at the remaining Command Seals on the back of Tohsaka Rin's hand, Sakura looked confused.

Even though all the followers haven’t arrived yet, is it possible that the war has already begun? He even forced his sister to use a command spell? So fast? Is this Holy Grail War so dangerous? What on earth happened?

　　　…………”

 In any case, it’s better to be careful yourself.

But having said that, since entering Fuyuki City, Sakura has always had a strange feeling. It is not like being watched, but more like some kind of spatial distortion... Is this also caused by the Holy Grail?

Next, Sakura quietly observed her sister for a day. What reassured her was that, at least on the surface, her sister did not seem to be a withdrawn person, and she got along well with the classmates in the class. But, as a magician...

 “Why is my sister so careless...”

Sakura sighed helplessly. Just late at night, she witnessed a battle between the servants. One side was her sister's servant, and the other side was the Lancer. Although the battle between the servants was indeed exciting, what left Sakura speechless was that her sister seemed to be so fascinated by it that she forgot to unfold the barrier.

After all, the concealment of magic is a magician's top priority. When studying in the clock tower, Sakura was also warned repeatedly. In Sakura's opinion, when her sister's servants restrained Lancer, she should have immediately deployed the barrier. However, my sister seemed so fascinated by it that she missed the opportunity, causing the scene to be witnessed by ordinary students.

 Fortunately, although the student was knocked down by LANCER, his sister still saved his life. Seeing this, Sakura was somewhat relieved.

If it were his father, he would definitely not let that ordinary man go, and would even silence him. Now it seems that my sister is at least not as inhumane as my father.

 In fact, Sakura herself wanted to help, but the distance was too far and she couldn't get there. Fortunately... her sister did not let her down.

 Next, under Sakura's watchful eyes, her sister returned to the Tohsaka family. Then he suddenly rushed out of the house as if he remembered something, and then came to a Japanese-style house. Before Sakura could figure out what happened, she saw a servant falling from the sky and attacking her sister—— Fortunately, he was blocked by his sister's servant.

What is a little surprising is that the owner of the heroic spirit actually even wasted a command spell in order to prevent the other party from attacking his sister.

 Hum... Do the two of them know each other?

 Watching her sister and the boy walking into the house, Sakura looked confused, and at the same time she felt a little secretly jealous. After all, she had already seen that the boy who summoned SABER was the boy who was almost killed by LANCER before. At that time, her sister was still very sad. Originally, at that time, Sakura just thought that her sister simply did not want to see anyone. Ordinary people are implicated in the magicians' war.

But now it seems...well, do these two like each other?

 Could it be that my sister had a crush on this boy, so she saved his life, and the other man also had a crush on her, so he used a command spell to order his servants to stop?

But according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, two people who love each other may fall in love and kill each other because of it... This is almost the same as the plot of the novel Lenis likes to read. It seems quite interesting?

Although she didn't know what the two said in the house, after that, Sakura saw her sister leaving the house with the boy and his servant, and it seemed that she was planning to go to... Fuyuki Church?

 Remember that’s where the judges of the Holy Grail War are located. Could it be that my sister convinced the boy to give up becoming a Master and seek asylum from the Holy Church?

　　　…………”

 In any case, it’s almost time to say hello to my sister.

Thinking of this, Sakura was mentally prepared and then stood up.

 “Let’s go, ASSASSIN.”

 “Yes, MASTER.”

 For Rin Tohsaka, this was also an eventful day.

Following his father's teachings, he summoned a Servant and joined the Holy Grail War. Unexpectedly, he encountered unimaginable situations one after another on the first day. First, the school was set up by a magician who didn't know where it came from, and then he was attacked by LANCER, and the battle between the two sides was witnessed by ordinary students.

That's all. I didn't expect that ordinary student to be the master of SABER.

 And now......

Watching the battle between the storm-like beast and the petite girl wielding a long sword, Rin Tosaka felt that the blood in his body was about to solidify. On the way out of the church, they were attacked by the Einzbern family, and the BERSERKER summoned by the other party was also a powerful opponent.

 It’s too tricky. It’s an enemy that cannot be dealt with by SABER alone.

 “ARHCER! Cover!”

Thinking of this, Tohsaka Rin immediately issued an order.

However………

 “ARCHER?”

Just in case, Tohsaka Rin has always ordered his servant ARCHER to stand by and guard at a distance. Logically speaking, when he gives the order, ARCHER should take action.

 But there was no response at all?

"it's useless."

At this moment, a voice sounded from not far behind Tohsaka Rin. Tohsaka Rin turned around and saw a girl wearing a black dress and purple hair standing there on the street not far away, looking at him - and saw the red ribbon tied to the side of the girl's hair. , at that moment, Tohsaka Rin felt like the world was spinning, and for a moment it seemed that the whole world was about to turn upside down in front of him.

 “Long time no see, sister.”

Looking at Tohsaka Rin, Sakura spoke in a low voice.

"Your servant is fighting with my servant, so he can't cover you at the moment... When I say this, you should understand what I mean."

　　　　…………Sakura?”

Tohsaka Rin took a step back. It was only her daily spiritual practice that kept her from fainting. During the Holy Grail War ten years ago, the Matou family was completely destroyed, and her sister who was adopted into the Matou family was also missing. She originally thought that her sister died in the Holy Grail War that year, but Now...she appeared in front of him again.

 “That’s right, it’s me, sister.”

Sakura nodded, then raised her hand and showed the command spell in her right hand to Tohsaka Rin.

"As for why I am here, I believe there is no need to explain it. Isn't this the reason why my father abandoned me in the first place?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　]

Hearing what Sakura said, Tohsaka Rin gritted his teeth, not knowing what to say.

“But before that, I have a question, sister, why do you want to participate in the Holy Grail War?”

Sakura stared at Rin and asked.

“Are you just like your father, pursuing the root vortex?”

"no."

 Tohsaka Rin shook his head.

"My purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War is very simple - just to win, because... the battle is here, and as the heir of the Tohsaka family, I naturally have to win gracefully! Even if the opponent is you... Sakura .”

"Really………"

 Sakura closed her eyes and was silent for a moment, then looked at her sister again.

 “Then, let’s get started...sister.”

At the same time, in the mountains not far away, there were also several figures, looking at the battlefield below.

“I didn’t expect that Sakura has grown so big.”

Duanmu Huai also shook his head with emotion.

“So we’re really eight years in the future? To be honest, I didn’t expect Sakura to look like this.”

"I think this is good. It seems that Sakura is not wronged. It's just too good."

 Laurena also breathed a sigh of relief.

"She came to Fuyuki this time to settle her family's affairs, so let her do it by herself..."

 Speaking of this, Duanmuhuai looked at Irisviel.

“Speaking of which, the person over there is your successor.”

 “Hey...it should be.”

Irisviel nodded and looked at the petite girl with white hair and red eyes standing on the hillside in the distance.

“It seems that Grandpa Ahad has also decided to use artificial humans to participate in the war this time.”

 “Go and talk to her, it’s good to relax.”

 “Okay, MASTER.”
