Welcome to Wanjie Tavern

However, Rin Tohsaka is very curious, Rider is willing to help him temporarily, so what about Rider's Master?

"Archer said, he will convince my Master."

"what?"

Rin Tohsaka looked at Rider's expression in bewilderment, very serious, it didn't look like he was lying.

But Archer said that he would convince Rider's Master...is he serious?

"Archer... always does something that makes people wonder."

Now that Rider said so, Rin Tohsaka probably figured out why Archer didn't come to school with him today.

"However, Rider, what are you going to do next?"

Since the attacking Lancelot puppet and the assassin were not catching up, Rin Tohsaka asked while looking at Rider.

"I don't know, since that enemy called Bluebeard by Ruler has targeted you, then according to the contract I made with Archer, protect Rin before destroying Gildre."

"Is it really all right? Archer is looking for your Master, so you have to feel a sense of crisis..."

When Rin Tohsaka said this, Rider's expression became a little awkward.

"what happened?"

"My Master and I don't get along very well."

"So, you just let Archer find your Master?"

"Yes, such a master, not only cannot provide suitable magic power, but even acts too much."

Rider felt a little strange, he had always been indifferent to what kind of person was summoned, but why, now that he thought about it, his attitude towards that man really became more and more disgusting.

This is not the mentality that a qualified follower should have...

----

Let’s not mention Rider who followed Rin Tohsaka back to the Tohsaka House for protection. In Fuyuki City, near the suburbs, there is a castle-like residence that looks luxurious. residence.

"This is it, right? RiderMaster's residence."

Looking at the small castle in front of him, Mu Mu couldn't help but lament that the life of the rich is beyond his imagination.

Although Mumu has seen a lot of things like castles, and most of them are much more spectacular in shape and scale than the little guy in front of him, but those places are no longer suitable for human habitation, so not only do they look a bit desolate, but also There is nothing to feel comfortable about.

But the little guy in front of him is different. It has been lived in for a long time, plus the cleaning and decoration inside give people a feeling of smoke and fire.

"If you don't know the ulterior secrets below, maybe you will be deceived by the gorgeousness on the surface."

Insect magic belongs to the family magic of the Matou family. Although this thing should not be the imprinted worms that make people feel physically uncomfortable at first, but rather gorgeous butterfly magic, but the longing for eternal life has become a little bit To the perverted Matou Zouken, it was already irrelevant.

Although on the surface Rider was summoned by Matou Sakura, and then transferred the Command Seal to Matou Shinji as the Master, but the real mastermind behind the scenes, Matou Zouken, should still be alive in this castle.

Rather than letting Rider Medusa such an excellent Servant be wasted in the hands of Matou Shinji, it is better to get rid of this useless guy in advance and force him to hand over the control of Rider.

In fact, Mumu is very curious. According to Matou Zouken's research and desire for immortality, why the abyss will be mixed with Gilderley, especially Gilderley may even have had an incident with the abyss in the last Holy Grail War Contact, at that time, Matou Zouyan didn't act in the dark like now, but appeared openly as the head of the Matou family. At that time, why didn't Matou Zouyan search the abyss?

There are still many questions like this, and even Mu Mu can't sort them all out.

"Master Ashes, do you want to go in?"

Joan of Arc, who came here with Mu Mu, looked at the magical barrier in front of her and asked, although she has imposed a shield on the concept of servants to prevent people from directly finding her lair, but for Joan of Arc, I'm sorry , Ruler can do whatever he wants.

My village girl played the black whistle openly and aboveboard today!

"Let's go, come and discuss with our Rider Master about giving up the Command Seal and transferring Rider's ownership."

While talking, he jumped from the treetops, but the barrier that was supposed to act as a barrier did not have any effect. Mu Mu and Joan of Arc passed through quite easily, and stepped on the lawn of the Jiantong Family's courtyard.

"The alarm should have been raised by now. According to Matou Shinji's fear of death, he might be planning to use the Command Seal to summon Rider right now. Jeanne, how are you preparing for the invalidation of the Command Seal?"

"That's enough, Lord Ashes. I have been given the highest authority in this Holy Grail War. It's quite easy to stop the Master from summoning his Servant."

Mu Mu nodded, sure enough, Ruler job agency is easy to use.

After ending the blockade of the Command Seals, Mu Mu looked at the castle in front of him.

"Master of Rider, is it convenient to come out and chat now?"

If I remember correctly, Matou Sakura should have rented at Emiya Shirou's house long ago, so the only enemy left to face is the old guy Matou Zouken?

Mu Mu's shout was quickly answered, the main gate of the castle opened, before he could change his school uniform, a man named Matou Shinji came out with blue hair like seaweed.

"Who am I? It's really brave to dare to break into the Matou family's territory, Archer."

Eyes narrowed, giving people a rather uncomfortable feeling, Matou Shinji stared at Mu Mu in armor, and Joan of Arc standing aside, and said.

Chapter 220 Three - If Shinji Matou Had a Different Life

Matou Shinji is not a genius in magic.

Compared with Emiya Shirou who has a small amount of magic circuits, there is no trace of magic circuits in Matou Shinji's body.

Matou Shinji had heard when he was young that the Matou family was a family of magicians, a special existence.

But that is already in the past tense, there is no one who can use Matou's magic, and from now on, he will be fully connected with society as a human being.

But Shinji Matou insisted that even though the family can no longer practice magic, the knowledge of magic accumulated in the past is still there, and this family is still special.

Perhaps because of his young age, Shinji Matou is proud of being a child of this "special family". As the only son of the Matou family, he will also become the heir of this family in the future.

One day, Matou Shinji's father, Matou Heye, brought back a girl from nowhere and said he wanted to adopt her as an adopted daughter. At first, Matou Shinji hated her for no reason, but as time passed, Matou Shinji realized that his extra sister was not good enough. Talkative, mediocre, and a person who is only a watchdog, he began to admit her.

Matou Shinji continued to search for books and wrote down the magic that could not be used. He thought that he was the heir, and he was the only one who could enter the Matou family's study room, and his adopted daughter was not qualified to read books. This situation greatly satisfied himself Therefore, Matou Shinji did not have doubts about the fact that he and Sakura were educated separately. He was complacent about the fact that only he was "special", and felt sad for his sister who was not selected.

It is the pity of the superior who seems to be looking down from above──For Matou Shinji, it has become the most reliable "self-esteem".Therefore, Matou Shinji, who is still young, bullies Sakura, but at the same time loves her very much.

Things knew until one day something changed.

Matou Shinji discovered the room in the basement by accident—the naked girl in the center of the room, the black swarm of squirming insects, and the frightening grandfather, with eyes that he had never seen before, as if seeing a troublemaker The father who glanced at him like...

Only Sakura always bows her head and apologizes every time she sees Shen Er, but this is humiliating in Shen Er's eyes-it turns out that the person who looks down and feels sympathetic is not herself.

Everything has changed, the originally mischievous personality began to distort, and the self-esteem brought about by thinking that he was different, actually turned out to be pity for himself.

Matou Shinji doesn't need others to pity him, he needs a chance, a chance to prove that he is the real master of the Matou family.

But before that, Matou Shinji may also have the opportunity to walk on the same path as the protagonist of the novel, forbearance, and then make a lot of money, but the immature Matou Shinji eventually took a completely different path.

This path will eventually drag him into the endless abyss.

----

"Let me see, who is it that dares to make a loud noise in front of the door of Jian Tong's house?"

Although Matou Shinji tried his best to look like the master of the house, his carelessness and slightly misty eyes still made him look like a well-dressed man standing on a circus stage. Like a clown.

"Oh, isn't this Tohsaka-san's Servant? I remember, it should be Archer, right? If you appear here so blatantly, aren't you afraid that Rider will directly kill your Master?"

There was a smile on Matou Shinji's face, of course with his pretty face, this kind of smile just doesn't feel sincere.

But judging from Matou Shinji's words, this guy doesn't seem to know that he has reached an agreement with Medusa.

Mu Mu's eyes swept over the back of Matou Shinji's hand, unexpectedly, the red command spell did not appear on the back of this man's hand.

No command spells?No wonder Matou Shinji didn't notice anything unusual even though Jeanne used the magic to block the Command Seal.

"Hey, I'm asking you something. To be a Servant, you must have the self-awareness of being a Servant!"

Seeing that Archer standing in the courtyard didn't seem to care about himself, Shinji Matou raised his eyebrows.

"You...are not Rider's Master?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Raising his arm, pointing to Matou Shinji's hands, Mu Mu spoke.

"You don't have a command spell on the back of your hand. Although I don't know what method you used to take control of Rider into your own hands, you are not Rider's real Master, right?"

Although the tone of Mu Mu's speech was very calm, without any contempt in it, but for Matou Shinji, what Mu Mu said was quite contemptuous in his ears inside.

He worked so hard to find Rider's Master, but what he found was a villain who used some means to steal the right to use the slaves. That Archer must think so, right?

"You bastard... stop underestimating people!"

Matou Shinji stretched his arms behind his waist, and immediately took out a leather-wrapped book that looked old.

"Master Ashes, that is [Book of False Ministers]."

Joan recognized at a glance what the book in Matou Shen's second hand was. It could be used as a command spell, but it could only perform all functions except the command spell.

The appearance of this book means that Matou Shin's second-hand Rider is indeed the right to use it from someone.

So, is Rider's real Master really Sakura Matou?

This is troublesome. Originally thought that Matou Shinji had completely obtained the control of Rider, so Mu Mu didn't think about how to deal with Matou Sakura's problem, but if you look at it now, it is necessary to talk to Matou Sakura in the future Let's talk.

"Rider, come back to me!"

Compared to directly sending Rider to destroy Archer's Master, for Matou Shinji who values ​​his own life more, it is more important to summon Rider back to protect himself.

It's just that Matou Shinji didn't seem to know that the book of the false minister could not replace the Command Seal even though he clearly used the book of the false minister?

Chapter 220 - The Old Bug

Holding up the [Book of False Ministers], Shinji Matou gave the order to instigate Rider.

"..."

But the book of the false minister in his hand didn't respond at all, as if Matou Shinji's order had disappeared.

"Damn it, what's going on? It's clearly available in the records."

Rider did not appear in response to Matou Shinji's call, or in other words, even if Rider wants to return to Matou Shinji's side, he still needs to catch up for a while.

"It doesn't look like magic works very well, Rider's... No, I shouldn't call you Master, you're just a thief."

"certainly not!"

Matou Shinji waved her arms, she looked at Mu Mu standing on the lawn in the courtyard, and shouted angrily.

"I am the next Patriarch of the Matou family, so I should be the participant in this Holy Grail War! Not my useless, weak, submissive sister!!"

This is self-exposure?

It can be seen that Shinji Matou really wants to prove himself, but it is a pity that although he has been trying hard to participate in this Holy Grail War as an ordinary person who cannot perform any magic, it is counterproductive.

Without followers, the book of false ministers is useless.

The expression on Matou Shinji's face was flustered, he wanted to do something to alleviate the cramped situation, but he couldn't perform any magic tricks, so he could only wave his arms awkwardly, making a very Look confident.

This is what maintains his self-esteem, which is the basis for maintaining his self-esteem.

"Let's go, Ruler, from the moment this guy took out the book of false ministers, we should leave, and we can't get anything useful from him."

Reaching out to pat Jeanne on the shoulder, Mu Mu was about to turn around and leave.

"Om-"

A sound of something vibrating wings at high frequency suddenly sounded in this courtyard. This sound is not unfamiliar. In the hot summer, those annoying mosquitoes and flies fly by. Sometimes, there are always these disturbing sounds.

"A visitor is a guest. It is an honor for the honorable Ruler and Archer to visit my Matou family's territory."

The hoarse voice was like a bellows full of holes, and the hunchbacked figure perfectly matched this person's behavior.

"Matou Zouken..."

"Oh, I don't know that Lord Aecher...has heard of the old man's name?"

His eyes narrowed because he couldn't tell whether his eyeballs were still there, and when Mu Mu was looking up and down at a guy who had gone mad in pursuit of immortality, Matou Zouken was also looking at Mu Mu who was standing on the lawn.

This heavily armed knight gave him a very dangerous feeling, and the long time of shrinking gave him enough time to recall his past memories.

However, those memories that are not beneficial to eternal life were also cleaned up by him.
