Chapter 9: The Matou Family, Full of Loyalty
"cherry."

Holding Sakura who threw herself into his arms, Kenshin Matou tried his best to control his terrible mood.

The moment he saw Sakura, he almost couldn't control himself and made the butterfly magic attack gesture towards Matou Zouken.

Fortunately, he held back.

He knew that he didn't have the ability to resist yet.

"Hehe..." Matou Zouken looked at the two children huddled together for warmth in front of him and smiled sinisterly, "Kenshin, do you know Sakura from the Tohsaka family? I thought you were just friends with Rin. Fortunately, fortunately, I thought you would be unhappy if you saw Sakura instead of Rin."

"grandfather?"

Jianchen Matou made a puzzled expression, and his voice trembled slightly despite his best efforts to control it.

"Don't be suspicious, Kenshin. It was Grandpa who took the initiative to ask the Tohsaka family to adopt Sakura. From now on, Sakura is your sister."

Matou Zouken did not explain the reason, and Matou Kenshin did not need a reason.

He just nodded.

[Matou Zouken's actions made you feel unprecedented hatred. Looking at the pitiful sister in your arms, you swore that you would never let her get hurt.]

[Since then, you have lived with Sakura. Because you were abandoned by your parents and because of Matou Zouken's terrifying face, Sakura is very close to you. At school, your deskmate Toosaka Rin often asks you about her sister.]

[You pretended to be fine, but the plan you had arranged in advance changed because of Sakura's arrival. ]

Lying on the bed, Jianchen Jianchen frowned.

He didn't expect that a mere coma would cause such a huge butterfly effect.

If he hadn't been in a coma, Matou Zouken wouldn't have noticed his situation at school, and wouldn't have asked him if he had made friends at night. Sakura wouldn't have appeared in the wormhole at Matou's house.

This time, the blame cannot be put on Tōsaka Tokiomi.

[On the twentieth day, you quietly carried out your plan. You began to come home very late. At first, Matou Zouken was very concerned about your behavior, but after discovering that you had been reading books about wilderness survival, he stopped controlling you. However, his bugs kept monitoring your every move.]

[Because of your ulterior motives, your relationship with your deskmate Rin Toosaka becomes deeper. ]

[On the twenty-fifth day, you obtained the Command Seals, and became qualified to become a Master and participate in the Holy Grail War. Matou Zouken soon discovered this, and he began to ask you to go home as early as possible after school, and no longer let you walk around the edge of the suburbs after school.]

[On the thirty-third day, you met Matou Kariya at home after he was called back by Matou Zouken. You had some guesses about what the two of them were planning.]

[On the thirty-fourth day, you became increasingly nervous. Matou Kariya's body, which had been transformed and was gradually becoming abnormal, made you realize that you could not wait any longer. After school, you did not go home, but chose to go to the rooftop of the school alone.]

[Standing in front of the door of the enclosed balcony, you choose...]

[1. Continue with your own plan; 2. Be a coward and let Matou Kariya take over; 3. Do not take risks and find other strategies; 4. Free simulation.]

Without any hesitation, Jianchen Jianchen chose one.

[You opened the iron door of the enclosed balcony and walked up alone. The balcony was empty with only you. The sky was blue and boundless, and the wind was blowing freely. You lifted the black cloth under your feet, revealing the summoning circle that you had arranged for Rin Tousaka to draw in advance.] [You were excited, but because you had taken sedatives in advance, the bugs on your body did not sense your special situation, so you chose to summon a servant.]

The scenario begins to unfold.

The cold wind howled under the blue sky.

Kenshin Matou stood alone on the rooftop of the school. The cold wind kept sticking to the gaps in his clothes and pouring into his body. He shivered slightly, but his heart was burning.

At his feet was the summoning circle that my deskmate, Miss Rin, had spent a week's worth of time after school drawing according to the blueprint given to her by Kenshin Matou.

Kenshin Matou didn't know whether this summoning circle would work or not. It was a gamble and he didn't want to take it, but he had no choice.

Recalling the spell he got from the secret room of the Matou family house, Matou Kenshin murmured, "As one of the creators of the Holy Grail War and the inventor of the Heroic Spirit appearing in the form of demons, the Matou family has a natural advantage in summoning Heroic Spirits."

Therefore, standing on the magic circle, Kenshin Matou did not need to say any long spells.

He directly connected all the magic power in his body to the magic circuit, and then poured it into the summoning circle, and the heroic spirit would respond to his call.

"Respond to my call, great hero."

The magic circle beneath his feet shone with light, and Kenshin Matou could feel the magic power in his body disappearing quickly, as if something was trying to suck him dry.

He did not resist, but responded obediently to the power of absorbing magic energy, even though it made him feel uncomfortable.

"Ahem," an old man in cloth with a sword at his waist flashed out from the light. He was very interested in the fact that the master who summoned him was a child. "Are you my master?"

Kenshin Matou was stunned. He didn't expect that the servant he summoned, who had a very good compatibility with him, was actually an ordinary old man.

[You have successfully summoned a Servant. You have no relics, so you choose to summon a Servant with whom you have a good affinity.]
[Looking at the Servant who looks like an ordinary old man, you doubt whether he can defeat Matou Zouken.]
[After all, although as a human being he is worse than trash, as a magician, Matou Zouken is an absolute genius.]
[With no other options, you told the servant about your situation, including your identity as a time traveler. Because of your identity, he had a slight liking for you, and he casually waved a talisman to easily kill the bug hidden in your heart.]

[You killed Matou Zouken. ]

[Your sister Sakura was waiting for you in the classroom. You took her back to the Matou family. You became the seventh generation head of the Matou family, but you did not announce it.]

[Although Matou Zouken is dead, your licking uncle still returned to Fuyuki City because of Tousaka Aoi and wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War. ]

[After Matou Zouken died, you began to train diligently in the butterfly magic you had practiced for ten years. You made rapid progress, and you made Matou Kariya, who regarded himself as an elder, realize who was the head of the Matou family.]

[You didn't drive Matou Kariya away because the Matou family was in need of a nanny. ]

[You and your Servant are indeed very compatible. You both have no desire for the Holy Grail. You, your Servant, your uncle, and your sister eat hot pot and sing songs at the Matou family every day. You live a very happy life every day.]

[A happy life makes you forget everything else, and you think you will live like this forever. 】

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