People are collapsing, they are time travelers

"He is the seventh Master, Kariya Matou."

Without any mood swings, it's like talking about an irrelevant person.

When referring to his former brother, Matou Heye treated him like a stranger.

"Is it him?"

Unexpected, but reasonable.

Matou Kariya was selected by the Holy Grail to become the master without the body transformation of the old bug, which was indeed beyond An Ran's expectations.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no problem.

Without him, according to the operating mechanism of the Great Holy Grail, before the opening of the Holy Grail War once every 60 years, seven Masters must be assembled.

If there are less than seven candidates for the Master, then the Great Holy Grail will choose a person with magic aptitude nearby to make up the number.

This was the case with Ryunosuke in the past, and it is also the case with Kariya Matou now.

Although this outcast from the Matou family does not have the talent to practice magic, the blood flowing in his body undoubtedly belongs to the Maqili family. He has a meager talent, which has been diluted by an unknown amount compared to Ryunosuke. The modern killers are much stronger.

It couldn't have been more fitting that he had been chosen to make up the numbers.

Especially for him.

"Then meet him."

Chapter 2 Licking the Dog

"Nice meeting, Kariya Matou."

In the living room, two men with different plans were silently looking at each other on the sofa.

One is a young man, although his body is thin, but he is full of strange perseverance.

The other is a handsome young man who seems casual compared with the determination of the former.

At the same time, beside him, a young girl about four or five years old just grabbed the hem of his clothes and timidly called out to the young man.

"Kariya...uncle..."

With just this sentence, Matou Kariya felt his heart was about to melt.

The cold face was softened by the little girl's words, Matou Kariya had a kind smile on his face, pulled out the gift he had prepared from behind him, and pushed it in front of Matou Sakura.

"Sakura, this is a gift for you."

"..." However, regarding Matou Kariya's kindness, Matou Ying did not immediately accept Matou Kariya's kindness as before, but raised her small head and looked at An Ran with pleading eyes.

"Take it..."

This scene deeply hurt Matou Kariya's heart.

Tohsaka Tokiomi, it's all your fault...

Maybe it was abandoned by parents and threatened by old bugs.After experiencing that incident, Matou Sakura lost the vitality that a child should have, and became cautious no matter what she did, and she didn't like to leave the mansion and the people she was familiar with.

An Ran knew very well that this was a sign of her insecurity and fear of being abandoned again.

But there is no way, he is not a psychiatrist, and he has nothing to do with this kind of child's psychological trauma. He can only hope that time can heal her wound.

"Mr. An Ran, I think you should know why I'm here."

Seeing Matou Sakura accepting the gift, the softness on Matou Kariya's face disappeared again, and he said this in a serious tone.

"Of course, you should be here for this Holy Grail War."

"Yes and no."

Matou Kariya shook his head and nodded again.

Then, the man took out his only bargaining chip.

He raised his arm, showing the three-stroke command spell on the back of his right hand.

"I would like to exchange Sakura's custody with this Master."

The corner of the clothes was pulled tight again, panic inevitably appeared on Matou Sakura's face, and water mist formed in her eyes.

She was afraid of being abandoned again.

However, completely immersed in his own world, Matou Kariya was completely unaware that his words just now had already hurt Matou Sakura.

Let his position in Matou Sakura's heart continue to decline, from a close uncle to a villain who wants her to be abandoned again.

Staring at An Ran with burning eyes, Kariya Matou, who was determined to win, waited for his reply.

In his mind, everyone who participated in the Holy Grail War had a strong desire for the Holy Grail.

In the face of an ally who got an ally in the Holy Grail War and increased the chance of winning the Holy Grail by one point, no one should give up.

however……

"Matou Kariya, I wonder if you thought something wrong?"

"Now you should not be the one who came to make a deal with me as the master. You came to me to save your life because you were chosen by the Holy Grail."

The corner of her mouth curved slightly, and An Ran looked at the astonished Matou Kariya with mocking eyes.

I saw the whole process from when he was determined to be at a loss, to when he was at a loss.

"What do you mean?"

Reality and plans are always very different.

Instead of regaining Sakura's custody, she learned that her life was in immediate danger.

The so-called reversal is nothing more than that.

Killing and getting more?Being hunted down by other masters?

Various possibilities flashed through Matou Kariya's mind.But neither got him to the right answer.

After all, he is just an outcast of the Matou family, without the talent to practice magic, and does not know the common sense of the mysterious world.

However, fortunately, there was a member of the mysterious world in front of him, and he was very kind and prepared to popularize common sense for him.

"Matou Kariya, first let me popularize common sense for you."

In the mysterious system of Xingyue World, the omnipotent power of magic is the source of all wishes.

The flesh and bones of the living dead are the basic practice, and inherent barriers and time distortions can be seen everywhere, and the burning of human principles is not a problem at all.

Just like water is divided into fresh water and salt water, there are also different types of magic power.

The magic power that exists in the natural environment is called the big source magic power, and the magic power that exists in the living body is called the small source magic power.

The former has disappeared with the passing of the age of gods, and the latter is the foundation of modern magic, which can be transformed through the magic circuit in the magician's body.

However, just like eating too much salt will cause dehydration, too much transformation of Xiaoyuan's magic power will also cause problems.

After everything that can be transformed is exhausted, the magic circuit that continues to operate will treat the highest and most critical thing in the human body-life as prey, and convert it into magic power.

That is to say...

"Matou Kariya, an unqualified guy like you will lose his life 100% if he is involved in the Holy Grail War."

That's right, for Matou Kariya, the Holy Grail War is no different from a death talisman, one that cannot be avoided.

After all, the operation of the Holy Grail system will not depend on his will, and a Servant will be chosen for him when the time comes.

And very coincidentally, the remaining six job titles have all been downgraded as Servants, and only Berserker's job title is vacant.

Let such a disobedient Servant stand on a guy with negligibly low magic aptitude and no magic power.

It can probably be summed up in one sentence...

Holy Grail War Demon Saving Raiders, only one Master is needed for a battle.

Even Matou Kariya's fragile body doesn't need Berserker to release the Noble Phantasm, just hand-to-hand combat with other Servants can squeeze him dry.

Based on this premise, there was no bargaining chip for Matou Kariya to offer him a deal.

There are not many opponents except him, anyway, he will be squeezed dry by his Servants; being an ally is too cumbersome, and I am afraid that he will be distracted to protect him.

Panic flashed in Matou Kariya's eyes.

But after seeing that young figure, Matou Kariya's mind instantly calmed down.

No matter what, at least Sakura must be freed from this mysterious world of cannibalism.

Even with his life as a bet.

With such determination in mind, under An Ran's eyes looking at a fool, Jiantong Kariya said again: "I've already made up my mind."

"..." I would like to call you the strongest licking dog.

Chapter 3 The Road Not Imagined

Licking dog, a mysterious creature born in the process of human courtship.

Its specific habit is that it will give everything for its courtship object, and will become very happy after getting a little lukewarm response.

There is no doubt that Matou Kariya is such a licking dog.

Kneeling and licking my goddess all the time, watching my goddess marry and have children, spending all my money to buy gifts for the daughter of the goddess, and getting a series of indifference such as "um", "ah", "oh" and "that's it" Happy like a dog after the response.

Even, as it is now, she gave her life for the daughter of her goddess.

Say he is a hero?Not enough.

Said he was the Virgin?Not fraternity enough.

Perhaps only the term "dog licking" was tailored for this man.

"Unfortunately, I cannot agree to your request."

Although she admired this man for being able to lick to such an extent, An Ran still refused his request without hesitation.

"why?"

It's not that he is sure about winning the Holy Grail, nor is it that he dislikes this guy as a burden.

But...

"Matou Kariya, you don't understand the mysterious world at all, and you don't have the ability to protect her at all."

It is a big taboo no matter where an outsider guides an insider, especially in the mysterious world where one wrong step can lead to irreparable doom.

Matou Sakura, formerly known as Tosaka Sakura, is the second daughter of the Tosaka family in Fuyuki City's magic family. Later, she was adopted into the Matou family and changed her surname to Matou.

The reason why she was adopted was because her talent was as outstanding as that of her elder sister.But it is also at odds with the magic base attributes of the Tohsaka family.

Her biological father, Tohsaka Tokiomi, was unable to protect the second daughter with his own strength, so in order to prevent her from being designated by the seal, she would end up as a specimen soaked in formalin.

It was decided to adopt him to the same Fuyuki city.But another magic family that is on the verge of extinction—the Matou family.

It's a pity that Tohsaka Tokiomi, as the father, didn't know the secrets of the Matou family, and pushed his daughter into the fire pit with his own hands.

Without the appearance of An Ran, Sakura on this world line will undoubtedly go to her own tragedy.

So, if Tohsaka Tokiomi, who is a magician, thinks he can't protect Matou Sakura, does Matou Kariya have it?

Obviously not.

There is a famous saying in the world of mystery - mystery and mystery will attract each other.

As a qualified existence, Matou Sakura itself is like a magnet, which will continue to attract members of the mysterious world and attract misfortune.

Matou Kariya's so-called saying that he left the mysterious world with Matou Sakura is a complete joke.

If this is really done, then for Matou Sakura, being soaked in formalin may be the happiest ending.

Being locked up in the basement to make ancestral items, to become a cherished experimental product on someone else's operating table...

Such treatment is nothing more than ordinary.

After all, the moral bottom line of the mysterious world is that there is no morality.

It's not surprising that these guys who can't be regarded as human beings do anything.

"I……"

Hearing An Ran's merciless negation, Matou Kariya opened his mouth to say something.
