[End of simulation]

【This summary】

[Rating: B+]

[Comment: From a poor kid, you moved forward step by step, each step was like walking on thin ice, and finally reached the other side. Along the way, you walked and stopped, there were laughter and sadness, you lived a happy life, but there are still regrets in your heart. ]

[Settlement: Experience gained from clearing the Holy Grail War.]

【Settlement Rewards:】

【A happy life is a gift to yourself. 】

[On the road to happiness, your magic talent has played an indispensable role, but your dazzling talent is no longer worthy of your happiness: Reward magic talent - Magic Perpetual Motion Machine, full attribute magic talent. ]

[On the road to happiness, after every moment of happiness, you will feel a little sad, because the memories in the simulator belong only to you and cannot be shared with your loved ones.]

[Reward: You can choose one of Rin Tousaka, Sakura Matou, Altria, Liu Bang, Diarmuid, and Illya, and share all the simulated memories since the simulation. "

[Reward: Simulation Points +3! ]

[Reward: Choose one of your Servant's abilities: 1. Open-mindedness; 2. Three rules. ]

……

……

!!!

Jianchen Matou suddenly jumped up from the bed!
Although he knew that the reward for clearing the Holy Grail War would be generous, he really didn't expect that the reward would be so generous!

Wow (a plant)
Magic perpetual motion machine? Magic perpetual motion machine!
All-attribute magic aptitude...all attributes, that's all!
Of course, Kenshin Matou knew what this meant, and it couldn't be clearer.

This means that he... the seventh generation head of the Matou family, Matou Kenshin, can learn any magic he wants to learn as long as he has the opportunity!

What treasure of Matou Zouken? That’s nothing!

The Tousaka family's jewel magic?

Kenneth's magic gift, Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid?

It’s so childish!
He, Kenshin Matou, is going to become a hexagonal warrior!
Extremely excited, Jianchen Jianchen took a deep breath, slowly walked to the table in the room, opened the window, and poured a cup of hot tea.

Early winter.

It was very cold outside late at night.

The whistling cold wind poured into the room, bringing a refreshing coolness. Jianchen Matou tried hard to suppress the urge to roar and glanced at his "neighbor".

"call…"

After confirming that the cold wind would not sneak into Sakura's room through his room, Kenshin Matou breathed a sigh of relief.

If the first reward made him so excited that he couldn't control himself.

The second reward would require him to consider it carefully.

Share all the simulation memories since the beginning of simulation.

Who to share with, this is an important question.

Uncle Liu seems to be the best choice, but although he did not receive the simulated memory this time, after reading the text simulation, Jian Tong Jianshen knows that it makes no difference whether Uncle Liu has the memory in the simulator or not.

After eliminating Uncle Liu, there are only five options left out of the six.

"Tousaka Rin, Matou Sakura, Diarmuid, Altria, and Illya?"

Jianchen Matou tapped the table with his fingers, thinking carefully.

Although there is a way to clear the Holy Grail War, it will undoubtedly be much easier if the rewards are used properly this time.

After eliminating Mr. Liu, Kenshin Matou first eliminated Miss Rin.

It is almost unsurprising that the girl you raise in childhood will become your wife when she grows up.

and……

The memories in his simulator were somewhat too bloody and not suitable for children to watch.

Similarly, Sakura was also excluded by Kenshin Matou.

So……

"Are Illya, Altria, and Diarmuid the only ones left?"

Illya won't talk about it.

Now she is still Kiritsugu Emiya's little cotton-padded jacket and Ahad's good granddaughter.

If she knew that she had killed her father and grandfather...

Just thinking about it made Jianchen Matou feel nauseous.

The memories in the simulator do not contain his memories of his past life.

Illya, who doesn't know what Ahad will do to her after her father and mother die, will definitely inform Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu after she has the memories of the simulator.

"but?"

A happy smile appeared on Jianchen Matou's face:

"Illya, who married me and had a child with me, should confront me, right? After all... as a husband, how could I let Illya marry me if I didn't love her so much? Similarly, Illya, who believed in my love, would never think that I killed Ahad without reason, right?"

As for Emiya Kiritsugu.

Sorry, the reasons are so sufficient, so sufficient that Illya is embarrassed to say anything.

He was forced to "sacrifice" for the justice of Emiya Kiritsugu four times, and even a dog would want to bite Emiya Kiritsugu after hearing this.

What's more, Illya has the memories of his wife.

So... Miss Rin is ruled out, little Sakura is ruled out, cute Illya is ruled out, and the only ones left are Diarmuid and Altria.

At first glance, Diarmuid seemed to be the best choice.

In fact, it is not the case.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that after Diarmuid has the memory of the simulator, he will not betray Kayneth.

If he betrayed, he would not be Diarmuid.

and……

I have to say, Diarmuid is really easy to conquer.

There is no need to do anything. Just wait for the arrogant Kayneth to be slapped in the face by Emiya Kiritsugu, then save him before he dies, and hope that he will transfer his Servant in the name of his disciple.

So, after becoming Diarmuid's master, Diarmuid will be a perfect subordinate.

Yes, you don’t need any strategy, you only need the identity of a Master to conquer Diarmuid.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, choosing Diarmuid to receive all the memories of his simulator is a very unprofitable deal.

This is one of them.

More importantly, even if Diarmuid is a good choice, Jianchen Matou has a better choice.

That is--

Altria Pendragon, the famous King Arthur!

Undoubtedly, apart from Mrs. Irisviel who is difficult to conquer due to time constraints, Saber is the most difficult to deal with.

A weird personality, firm beliefs, and... a pure lawful good alignment.

Saber is hard to deal with, but...

I have a cheat!

Thinking of this, Jianchen Matou couldn't stop smiling.

Whenever he thought of Saber, who had received the memory, standing beside Kiritsugu Emiya and looking at him with a look that made Kiritsugu uncomfortable, Kenshin Matou felt happy.

This is awesome!

Picking up the slightly cooled teacup, Jianchen Matou took a sip.

He closed the open windows and drew the curtains, ensuring that he could sleep until dawn without being awakened by the glaring sunlight.

When you stand up, the first thing you do is not to go back to your bed.

Although the memories in the simulator are somewhat impatient, there are more important things to do.

Gently pushing open the wooden door that was not closed tightly, Jianchen Matou took off his shoes and walked barefoot on the floor, making sure that the noise from his steps was reduced to a minimum.

He walked over to his sister Sakura's bed and sat down, tidying up the quilt that was not open for her.

Looking at little Sakura's sweet sleeping face, Kenshin Matou felt filled with happiness.

Only after absorbing all of Xiao Xiaoying's energy did he return to his warm bed with an excited heart and trembling body.

It took quite some time to find a comfortable position.

Only then did Jianchen Matou look at his third reward with a fiery gaze!

[Simulation points +3! ]

What does this mean? Jianchen Matou is so familiar with him!
Simulation points +3, which means that the free simulation that he has always longed for but never experienced can finally come in handy!
Excited heart, trembling hands.

Jianchen Matou pulled up his pajamas, frowned and thought for a while. Feeling that there should be no problem with his pants, he turned on the simulator and chose to freely simulate this simulation experience.

"Sakura, Rin, Altria, Illya, Sayla, Lijelite...your husbands are here!"

"..."

"Free simulation word count, omitting one million words."

(I can’t write, I can’t write, I don’t dare to write.)
……

……

the other side.

Saber, who was still in Einzbern and had not yet gone to Fuyuki City, was resting in her own room.

Unlike other Heroic Spirits, Saber cannot transform into a spirit due to the contract.

Therefore, she is now lying on the bed with her eyes closed and resting like a normal person.

Saber, who was thinking about how to win the Holy Grail War, hold the Holy Grail and fulfill her long-cherished wish, suddenly felt sleepy. As her eyelids became heavier, she slowly closed her eyes.

"Saber's Special Dream"

"Where is this place?"

When Saber opened her eyes, she immediately felt that the perspective was wrong.

As a seasoned warrior, Saber is very sensitive to the touch of the body.

She realized something was wrong, and scanned her body, and as expected, she discovered——

"This is not my body!"

"what happened?"

"Servant? Master? Magician?"

Saber frowned. As Saber's assistant, her resistance to magic was very high, and this kind of scene should not happen.

Just as she was thinking, a rotten sound accompanied by an unpleasant smell attacked her rudely.

"Jianchen, are you feeling unwell?"

An old man with short stature, skin wrapped around bones, and limbs like a mummy, appeared in front of Saber with a cane.

'Who is Jian Chen?'

"Who is this old man?" "What a terrible smell, this breath... is he a magician who has fallen into evil?"

While Saber was thinking in her mind, her body reacted beyond her control.

"I'm fine grandpa, I just don't feel well and want to go back to my room to rest."

"Okay, Grandpa got it. You can go back to your room and rest, Jianchen. Grandpa will ask for leave from school for you."

The haggard old man nodded and left with his cane.

Saber returned to the room, looked at the unfamiliar room, touched the unfamiliar body, and became more and more confused.

"who am I?"

"I am Altria Pendragon."

"Where is this?"

"It should be a family of magicians."

"Why am I here?"

"..."

"Sword Minister? Who is Sword Minister? Is he a person related to this Holy Grail War?"

"..."

"Who is the person who pulled me in here, and what is his purpose?"

"..."

“Is this a dream or another world?”

"..."

Saber was very confused, but what made her feel a little relieved was that although this body often did not obey her control in terms of actions.

But at least it didn't limit her thinking.

In this way, Saber spent three days and three nights in this strange place.

During this period, she learned that the family she belonged to was the Matou family, and that the head of this family was Matou Zouken.

In addition, Saber also learned about his own identity:

Kenshin Matou, eight years old, the only son of the Matou family, the future heir of the Matou family, and his identity is... a student.

Today is the morning of the third day.

Saber "watched" her own body waking up from the bed.

[Every gift given by God has a price tag secretly marked on it. So...are you still willing to accept it? ]

【YES/NO】

A translucent panel suddenly appeared in the field of vision.

Saber, a local, didn't know what this trend was, but she felt the excitement in her body.

Under her "gaze", the heart of this body was pounding, but it did not move in a hurry. Instead, it first... washed up?
Saber was confused, unable to figure out the brain circuits of this body.

She watched as 'her' body sat back on the bed, and watched as this body's fingers clicked YES on the translucent panel.

The translucent panel twisted and the text on it changed.

【Life Simulator, at your service】

[Use this simulator to simulate normal life]

[The simulation content will be displayed in the form of text and memory scenes]

[Once the simulation begins, it will not end until death]

[After the simulation is over, a score and review will be generated for your life simulation to help you lead a happy life]

[Only three simulations can be performed per day, please explore the additional simulations on your own]

[Click to continue]

"..."

Saber was a little confused, and then... the nightmare began.

[Because your body is not in the best state to possess a body, Matou Zouken threatened your uncle Matou Kariya to return to Fuyuki City and transferred your Command Seal to him. He represented the Matou family in the Fourth Holy Grail War.]

[Ten years later, when the Fifth Holy Grail War was about to begin, you died at the hands of Matou Zouken. In the past ten years, you have tried various methods, but you have never even left the Matou family house.]

???

Saber was confused.

Holy Grail War? The Matou family? Matou Kariya? The Master of the Holy Grail War? Ten years...possession?
Will there be a fifth Holy Grail War in ten years?
Saber, who had experienced the simulation, could empathize with Kenshin Matou.

The Matou family is walking on thin ice, Matou Zouken is eyeing them covetously, they are powerless in the face of fate, and they are unwilling to be possessed in the end.

Saber was almost completely immersed in Kenshin Matou's experience, which made her feel bad.

Without any time to rest, Saber faced the second simulation.

[Ten years later, when the Fifth Holy Grail War was about to begin, you were possessed by Matou Zouken, and you were filled with hatred for Matou Zouken.]

"..."

Saber silently looked at the translucent panel in front of her.

The unwillingness and pain of the body were transmitted to Saber's heart one by one.

Before she could sigh, the next simulation came.

[You fainted, and when you woke up, you found yourself locked in the basement. You were under house arrest, but for some reason, Matou Zouken relaxed the restrictions on you, and you can practice butterfly magic at will in the basement.]

[In the past ten years, your outstanding magic talent has made you progress rapidly. Your butterfly magic has become very successful. You can say without any modesty that you are already an excellent magician.]

[On the eve of the Fifth Holy Grail War, you died in the basement. Looking at your corpse, Matou Zouken's expression was complicated.]

"..."

The memories of ten years of captivity flooded into Saber's mind like a tide.

It was a dark basement, where I waited like a dog every day to be fed by my master. It was a decade without a ray of sunshine or hope, filled with dampness and darkness.

The only light was the light of the blue-purple butterfly itself.

This was the ten years of Jianchen Matou.

Now, Saber has experienced the ten years of Kenshin Matou completely.

She looked very unhappy.

Saber, who is kind-hearted, cannot tolerate such evil behavior, especially when the victim is the 'grandfather' of this body!
But Saber couldn't resist. She could do nothing except watching Kenshin Matou's experience.

She could only continue to follow her body and experience the next simulation.

[You miscalculated. Your Servant has a fatal flaw. Under Emiya Kiritsugu's test, all four of you were destroyed! ]

"..."

Saber felt happy yet complicated at the same time.

The owner of this body, an eight-year-old boy named Kenshin Matou, is truly remarkable.

Under his own "watchfulness", he accomplished the feat of killing Zouken Matou, which was really great.

Saber felt somewhat relieved, but she frowned at the same time.

Of course she knew who Emiya Kiritsugu was; he was her Master in this Holy Grail War.

Saber, who had experienced the cruelty of the Holy Grail War in the simulator, certainly understood it, but...she still could not accept Kiritsugu Emiya's behavior.

In Saber's opinion, the correct way to start the Holy Grail War should be for her to fight as a Servant on behalf of Emiya Kiritsugu and prevent the bloodshed and sacrifice of magicians, which is the necessity of summoning Heroic Spirits.

But...her Master was actually so despicable.

Especially after Saber watched Kenshin Matou grow step by step, she could no longer accept Kiritsugu Emiya's actions.

No matter what Saber thinks in his heart.

The simulation continues.

Step by step, Saber witnessed the growth of Kenshin Matou, experienced the pain of Kenshin Matou being shot in the head four times, and even more experienced the pain of Kenshin Matou losing his only relative, little Sakura.

As the simulation continued, Saber's heart became heavier and heavier.

Finally, the scene in the simulator came to the end of the Holy Grail War.

She saw with her own eyes how Jianchen Matou's servant, her opponent, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, destroyed the possessed Bluebeard in the blink of an eye.

She saw with her own eyes how Kenshin Matou persuaded Kayneth and obtained the help of Diarmuid, and with the cooperation of the two servants, they destroyed the Hero King Gilgamesh.

She saw how helpless Kenshin Matou was when facing the death of Irisviel, and she also saw how tired he was when he proposed to her.

She saw that she... had agreed to Jianchen Jianchen's proposal.

? ? ? ! ! !
Saber was stunned.

She suspected that she had seen it wrong, but she knew that she was not wrong.

"How is that possible! How could I agree to this unless..."

Saber saw the truth about the Holy Grail.

She was exhausted and somewhat unable to accept it, but she still forced herself to continue. She had a hunch that as long as the simulated Holy Grail War was over, she would be able to get rid of this state.

Just as Saber thought, she must have made a decision by agreeing to the proposal.

After the Holy Grail War ended, he and Diarmuid completed the duel between knights.

Diarmuid is very strong, but he is the one who wins.

Having won the battle, I have no intention of breaking my promise, but...

He chose to commit suicide.

"Is it over?" Saber thought tiredly.

then……

Everything has changed.

His departure was not the end of the simulator. What happened next was slowly revealed to Saber along with the pace of Kenshin Matou's life.

She saw Kenshin Matou getting married and having children with Rin Tousaka, Sakura Matou, and Illya.

She saw a process that she didn't want to see, and that process made her feel ashamed.

She saw herself being summoned by Jianchen Matou.

She saw that the wish that the Holy Grail could not fulfill was completed by Kenshin Matou!
She saw her long-cherished wish come true.

She saw herself marrying Kenshin Matou.

She saw herself having a child with Jianchen Matou.

She saw herself living a happy life.

"..."

Saber closed her eyes, experiencing the happy life that was like a dream bubble.

The experience of getting married and having children made the inexperienced Saber blush slightly, but the joy of realizing her wish washed away everything.

In such emotion, she woke up.

Its daybreak!
