I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

Therefore, Serius thought that after hearing his request to collect information, at most, Illya would stare at him with strange eyes for a while, and would not raise any objections...

'its not right! Isn't Berserker synonymous with mental illness and weak IQ⑨? Seleus suddenly realized that he had discovered the special purpose of Berserker.

'In this way, as a Berserker, no matter what weird things you do, it's not surprising, is it? '

Although a Berserker who has a sense and a Berserker who has lost his sense feel completely different, but this is the situation. Others can't take their Berserker job seriously just because they can maintain their sanity.

Seleus was planning this in the castle at night, but he never expected that Illya, who got up early this morning, pulled herself out of the castle, saying that she was going to prepare for the victory of the Holy Grail War. See if you can find a chance to weed out a single or two Servants.

Illya's reason was so reasonable that Seleus couldn't refute it, but the excited look on the girl's face told Seleus that Illya's real purpose was by no means as simple as she said.

No, the route they are taking now looks familiar to Serius, it is clearly the road that he just passed last night to the Emiya mansion.

And the purpose of Illya's trip was to prepare for the victory of the Holy Grail War. She clearly wanted to use the opportunity of the daytime truce to meet her father's adopted younger brother in a different way and attitude, who is one of the few in the world. Emiya Shirou who can be counted as a girl's relative.

But even if he understood Illya's true purpose, what could Serius do?After all, he is his own Master, no matter what, he should be pampered, right?

As a result, Seleus, whose plans were all interrupted, could only be distracted and alert to the surrounding situation, while analyzing the current situation and the next plan in his heart.

'According to the information instilled by the Great Holy Grail, the previous Casters could barely fight against other Servants only by relying on the magic workshop, but this Caster has the ability to repel Jill in the encounter, and even the proud him hinted to me It is not its opponent's strength. '

'Judging from this information, I must find Caster as soon as possible.Otherwise, once Caster, who has such a strong strength in the encounters, has perfected his most powerful magic workshop during this period of time, I can't offer anything to impress him and make him devote himself to treating Illya. . '

Serius was immersed in his own thoughts, and didn't notice that Illya was pouting angrily at this time because of her lack of focus.

"Berserker!!!"

Illya yelled loudly, the volume even made the passers-by get rid of the control of the hint magic, and all turned their eyes to the middle of the street, who was talking to Illya.

Seleus, who was awakened, immediately alerted the surrounding situation, but found no trace of the enemy at all.

Not knowing why, he lowered his head in doubt, only to find that his little Master was looking at him with an aggrieved and annoyed face, and even tears could be seen in the corners of his eyes.

"What else can happen?! Berserker clearly promised that he would never ignore Illya again. Berserker is a big liar! A big liar!" Illya stomped her little feet and yelled at Sai Lucy waved his little fist.

Illya's state made Serius a little helpless, and because of the eyes of the people around him, he couldn't comfort the girl who was out of control.

You must know that although Illya's behavior is very strange now, due to the age deception brought about by her petite body and the cute appearance like an elf in fairy tales, people can still ask "Is this little girl with relatives or relatives?" The friend was angry, so he ran to the street alone to give himself an explanation.

But if Serius comforts Illya now, then the sudden male voice and the strange traces appearing on the girl will probably quickly form a frightening urban ghost story in the city of Fuyuki.

"Or, in Serius' heart, Illya is not important at all?"

Illya seemed to understand the embarrassing situation Serius was in, and took the initiative to lower the volume, but the strange thing was that she didn't use hint magic to eliminate the attention of people around her.

And she also showed a very pitiful expression abnormally, with two big wine red eyes flickering, combined with her petite body and angelic appearance, it made people feel pity involuntarily.

From the involuntarily projected gazes of the passers-by on Illya, and the two stunned young men who bumped into each other and rolled on the ground, it is clear that Illya is here. Under this posture, the display can be called a terrifying 'lethal power'.

Seeing the aggrieved Illya in front of him, Seleus, unable to make a sound, could only wave his hands anxiously, trying to make the girl understand his attitude.

"Since Serius cares so much about Illya, why does he ignore Illya again and again." Illya lowered her head, and kept wiping her eyes with her hands.

Seeing that his actions were useful, Serius immediately squatted down, wanting to continue to comfort Illya.

"It's okay to want Illya to forgive Berserker, as long as Berserker agrees to Illya's request."

At this moment, Illya suddenly raised her head to look into Serleus' eyes, and a strange emotion was revealed in the wine-red eyes.

Illya's familiar words made Seleus instantly alert. At this time, he faintly felt that he was once again being tricked by his Master.

"Berserker really doesn't care about Illya?" Seeing Serius froze there, Illya lowered her head again, her voice still faintly crying. "I'm really sorry, the former Illya was too self-willed and caused Berserker so much trouble."

Hearing Illya's pitiful words, how could Serius calm down and think about the weirdness and routine revealed in Illya's actions, so he nodded quickly, indicating that he agreed to Illya's request.

"Really?!" Illya exposed her eyes and asked Serius in a surprised tone.

Before he had time to think about it, Seleus quickly nodded in affirmation.

"Then it's settled!" Illya's voice suddenly changed from the pity and grievance before, and restored the original playfulness and cuteness. At the same time, she stretched out her little hand and directly activated the suggestion magic.

I saw all the passers-by who were looking at this side suddenly looked in a trance, and then continued their journey as if they had forgotten everything that had just happened.

Serius stared dumbfounded at Illya, who was showing complacency in front of him. Even with Berserker's employment restrictions, he still noticed that the implying magic that Illya just cast was already prepared and infused with a lot of magic power. Enhanced version.

In other words, everything that happened in between was planned in advance by this eccentric girl.

First, by shouting, he broke the hint magic used before without arousing Serius' alertness. He even used the eyes of the surrounding people, and combined with his own words and demeanor, Serius had no time and no heart. The loopholes in the fun discovery plan,,,

"Alas~~~" Seleus sighed, why does he have such a short memory.

"Hey! Berserker has already agreed to Illya's conditions, and you can't go back on it." Seeing Serius's helpless expression, Illya hurriedly hugged his arm, and then emphasized with a light smile.

"Besides, it's Berserker's fault first, after all, he promised not to ignore Illya again."

"I know Illya." Serius gently put his hand on Illya's head. "I will never go back on what I promised, and just like what Illya said, I did make a mistake this time, so I really need to give Illya some compensation."

"Hee hee!" Ilya, who successfully completed the plan, laughed proudly.

"But Illya, a bad boy who uses other people's feelings to achieve her own goals..." Seleus's voice suddenly became low, and the other arm broke free from Illya's embrace. "You have to be educated enough."

Realizing that something was wrong, Illya immediately wanted to run away, but her tiny body was already tightly hugged by Serius.

"Is it still too late for Illya to apologize to Berserker?" Illya asked weakly, feeling that the big hand that was on top of her head was slowly reaching out to her little face.

"What do you think?" Seleus narrowed his eyes.

Illya escaped in the end, because just as Seleus was beginning to educate Illya, a familiar voice interrupted the 'intimate' interaction between the master and the slave.

"Berserker! And Illya! Why are you here..."

......

"The Great Holy Grail has long been polluted by the ominous things that appeared in the third Holy Grail War. The universal cauldron that can open up the root vortex has long been a distorted disaster that will destroy the world once it is opened..."

"Ten years ago, the fire that almost burned the entire Fuyuki City and caused the loss of countless lives came from the malice that flowed from the Great Holy Grail, and the most terrifying thing is that the ones that flowed out did not even account for one percent of the total amount." one...'

'And what I took out of Sakura's heart was the tainted fragment of the Great Holy Grail...'

Recalling the information Matou Zouken told them, Emiya Shirou couldn't help showing a look of worry on his face.

"The Holy Grail War, Master and Servant, classmates and juniors who are magicians, the disaster of ten years ago, and the evil in this world that can destroy the world..."

Shirou Emiya let out a long sigh, originally thought that the strengthening magic that Kiritsugu taught him was amazing enough, and he could also use this ability to fulfill the ideal of the 'partner of justice'.

But who would have thought that after only one day, his worldview that took more than ten years to establish was smashed to pieces, and even Emiya Shirou's perception of things was about to be completely subverted.

'Moreover, the ideal inherited from Kiritsugu seems to have a meaning that I don't know. The young Weigong recalled the complicated smile on his adoptive father's face before he died.

The previous him had always thought that it was Kiritsugu's joy to see a successor, but from Matou Zouken's words, this simple boy seemed to realize that he seemed to have overlooked some important things before.

'Kiritsugu, did you have something you wanted to say but failed to say in the end? Emiya Shiro sighed.

"Really, the rush of things came up, which made me so sentimental." Emiya Shirou shook his head lightly to calm his mood, and started his task of going out with a smile.

"Let me think about what dishes to make for lunch. After all, I just lost a battle last night. It's the time when I need delicious food to boost my morale."

"I heard from Mr. Matou that Sakura's body needs a lot of calories and protein, and Saber strongly asked me to prepare more ingredients for ten people. As for Tohsaka, he seems to like the strong taste of Chinese cuisine... "

Just like that, Shirou Emiya was browsing the shops on both sides of the street while figuring out how to prepare the ingredients, but before taking a few steps, the smile on the boy's face froze.

"Berserker! And Illya! Why are you here..."

Chapter 41 The Triangular Relationship of the Emiya Family

On the second day of the Holy Grail War, in the Matou mansion where the four masters gathered, two beautiful girls looked at each other and fell silent.

The two were originally close sisters, but they were given different surnames for some helpless reasons, and they hadn't communicated for nearly ten years.

Tohsaka Rin's eyes were full of sadness, she didn't know how to face this younger sister who was related to her by blood.

When she was just a child ten years ago, Rin Tosaka's greatest wish was to bring her sister back from Matou's house, and then the two sisters would live happily together.

But after his father passed away strangely and his mother became mentally disturbed for some reason, Tohsaka Rin, who had inherited the position of Patriarch, gradually extinguished this idea.

"After losing his father, the Tohsaka family has become worse day by day, and I don't know how long it will take until I grow up." Tohsaka Rin thought so when he was young.

"Instead of taking Sakura back to suffer with me, it's better to let her stay in the Matou family, with the guidance of a great magician who is praised by her father and adults, and her own excellent qualifications are indispensable to the Matou family today. Precious treasure, I think Sakura's life at Matou's house will definitely be better than staying with me."

Even though Xiao Xiaolin is a magician who has received an elite education since she was a child and is extremely talented, her thoughts inevitably carry the simplicity and kindness of a child.

Xiao Xiaolin did not take Sakura back because of the contract between the families, but simply compared the material conditions that the two families could provide, and naively thought that keeping her sister in Matou's house would make her happier.

This naive idea did not fade into memory with the growth of experience and age, but it became stronger because of the worsening situation of the Tohsaka family day by day.

"Sometimes I really envy Sakura. With the backing of a great magician, you will not need to run around for a living like me, right?" Such an idea came up.

But this is not complaining or jealousy, but a girl’s helpless self-mockery of her own predicament when she supports a declining family with a firm heart, and she feels a little bit because the person she cares about has not suffered the same fate as her. comfort.

"Ancestors of the Tohsaka family, why did you choose a mysterious system like gem magic that burns money? Haven't you considered that future generations may be ruined by various accidents?"

The dwindling gem reserve will always make Miss Tohsaka fall into deep distress, but it won't take long for this strong and self-respecting girl to regain her spirits and continue to fight for her dream.

However, although the tragic fate did not crush the girl, it still left an indelible mark on her mind.

"Sakura, I'd better not get in touch with her anymore."

"Because I don't know the attitude of the great magician, contacting her as a blood relative may bring trouble to Sakura. And..." When the grown-up Tohsaka Rin met his sister There are always all kinds of scruples.

"When my father was still there, I sent Sakura out, and now the Tohsaka family has fallen. If I go to Sakura at this time, will it be considered as having ulterior motives?"

"No matter what I do, I still have self-respect, so whether it's for Sakura or myself, it's fine to keep this status quo."

This was the decision that Tohsaka Rin made when she found out that her sister was studying in the same school as herself. She felt that as an older sister, it was enough for her to see her sister's happiness from a distance.

But last night, Miss Tohsaka learned from Matou Zouken, who had recovered her original intention, what kind of horrible nightmare her poor sister Sakura had suffered at Matou's house.

'How does Sakura see my sister now? 'Because he didn't appear by her sister's most helpless moment, Tohsaka Rin's expression when facing Sakura was a bit far-fetched.

"Good morning, Tohsaka-senpai." However, unlike her older sister who was struggling all the time, Matou Sakura, as a younger sister, greeted in a very ordinary way.

"Sakura... ah, good morning, Matou-sensei... sister." Tohsaka Rin was a little flustered, she didn't know how to call her sister, but in the end she responded to her sister's choice under the guilt of her heart .

"Tohsaka, come here and help me pick up the ingredients. Saber's request for ten people is a bit too heavy... Sakura! Have you taken care of your body yet?"

The silent atmosphere between the two sisters was broken by the sudden appearance of Shirou Emiya. Rin Tohsaka breathed a sigh of relief, and then eagerly went to take the ingredients in the boy's hands. Before leaving, he pushed him to his sister's beside.

Tohsaka Rin's behavior was naturally out of good intentions. When she was watching Matou Sakura from a distance at school, she noticed that the boy who had the best relationship with her sister was this boy.

She doesn't know how to face her younger sister, so she can only hope that Emiya Shirou can comfort Sakura's heart well.

However, Tohsaka Rin's kindness did not bring the expected results. After seeing the gentle senior appearing in front of her eyes, Matou Sakura could no longer maintain the gentle smile before.

The information revealed in Emiya Shirou's words made the extremely intelligent girl realize that her grandfather, who had completely changed his appearance, had already told all the things that happened to her in these years.

In this situation, how would she face the senior she admired?

And how would the senior who had always treated her tenderly view her as an existence who had suffered all kinds of terrible 'fate' in his heart?

"How is your body? Do you feel uncomfortable there?..." Shirou Emiya's questions flocked to the girl with her head bowed.

It can be seen that his junior girl appeared in front of him in peace, at least the appearance of peace made Shirou Emiya very excited.

"..."

However, beyond Emiya Shirou's expectations, Matou Sakura, who was always gentle and pleasant, kept silent to him uncharacteristically, and did not give any response.

Emiya Shirou scratched the back of his head helplessly at the junior girl's attitude, but he soon realized what was going on, and then turned his head directly to the kitchen of Matou's house.

"Ah~~" Emiya Shirou's departure made Matou Sakura sigh silently.

She really didn't know how to face the senior who knew everything, and she didn't even know what kind of identity she would be by the senior's side in the future.

Even though Shirou Emiya treats her as usual, the girl with low self-esteem is still worried that this good-natured senior just pretends to be like this in front of her because he cares about her mood and body.

She didn't want her senior to suppress her true feelings because of taking care of her, and she didn't want to hear or be directly told by her senior that she hated her one day.

The girl knows very well how unbearable pain it will bring to people when they see hope but suddenly lose it one day.

But in order not to bear that kind of pain anymore, the girl chose to escape.

'Let this feeling in my heart fade away slowly. ' Matou Sakura told herself. 'It's probably the best situation for me. '

However, the unwillingness in my heart...

"By the way, Sakura!" Shirou Emiya, who had already put on his apron, suddenly stretched out half of his body from the kitchen. "Although I know that your body is still recuperating, I can't handle so many ingredients by myself."

"So..." Emiya Shirou said so, and showed another apron in his hand. "Can you still help me like you used to at my house?"

"Oh?!" Matou Ying was stunned, she couldn't react to this sudden development.

"Okay, okay, don't waste time here." Seeing the junior girl staying where she was, Emiya Shirou walked over directly, and then tied an apron on her very naturally. "Come here and help, just give me a hand like before."

Sakura stared at the apron tied in front of her in confusion, and then looked at Emiya Shirou who was smiling for no apparent reason.

"What's the matter? Sakura doesn't want to help me cook now?" Emiya Shirou's expression suddenly became a little troubled, and he could see that he was very depressed now.
