Chapter 97: The Master's Treasure, the Fate of the Scapegoat

After meal.

It was time for the brother and sister to take a pleasant walk.

The Matou family's house is very large, and if the two of them were to walk around the corner, it would take more than half an hour.

But this time is not boring at all.

The path was paved with dark gravel, and all around it were cherry tree saplings that were buried in the ground and would not sprout until next spring.

The breeze is blowing, and I am walking in small steps.

Holding little Sakura's hand and walking on the path surrounded by cherry blossom saplings is a unique experience.

The Matou family has everything they need now, they just need time.

We need to safely survive this Holy Grail War and wait for the flowers to bloom next spring.

At that time, the whole yard was full of cherry blossoms.

Just thinking about that scene would make Jianchen Matou feel extremely happy.

As for the fading cherry blossoms and the chores that need to be cleaned up, that is not something he, as the head of the family, should be concerned about.

Why did he keep Matou Kariya? Isn't it just for that?

"Come on Sakura, it's time to do homework."

"Yeah, okay brother."

Sakura smiled as the breeze blew her hair, causing her two different colored hair ties to wave.

Kenshin Matou missed Miss Rin a little.

"Ah, Tōsaka Tokiomi..."

Although Tousaka Tokiomi is not a good person, nor is he a good father.

No, you can't say that.

In the magician's worldview, Tōsaka Tokiomi can definitely be called a kind father.

Furthermore, Tousaka Tokiomi treated Miss Rin really well...

'what can we do about it……'

Kenshin Matou is at a loss as to how to deal with his rivals in this Holy Grail War and how to deal with the life and death of Tōsaka Tokiomi.

If he ignored everything and let nature take its course, then Tōsaka Tokiomi would naturally be stabbed to death by his "good disciple" Kotomine Kirei using the 'Mercury Sword', his anti-master treasure.

It is quite easy to handle it this way.

Kenshin Matou doesn't have to do anything, and Tohsaka Tokiomi will rest in peace.

Can……

People can deceive themselves, but they cannot deceive their conscience.

The more Kenshin Matou likes Sakura-chan and Miss Rin, the more he cannot remain indifferent.

If you don't have the ability, just keep to yourself.

But even if he had the ability to do so, he couldn't just watch Miss Rin's father die without saving him. Kenshin Matou couldn't deceive his conscience.

Although, even if she ignored Tousaka Tokiomi, Miss Rin would never know that he once had the opportunity to save her father.

But, it’s still the same sentence.

Kenshin Matou likes Miss Rin very much, so he can't lie to her.

If he really ignored it, he didn't know how he would face Miss Rin in the future, how he would see Miss Rin's face when she was sad because of losing her father.

"Ugh……"

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time."

It was still early, and Tōsaka Tokiomi might still be drinking red wine elegantly.

"Brother~"

Seeing her brother sigh, Sakura felt worried.

"It's okay." He rubbed Sakura's head.

Jianchen Matou felt much better.

He had actually already figured out how to treat Tōsaka Tokiomi, but was just still hesitating.

That way, Tōsaka Tokiomi should be able to accept it and be happy with it...right?

only……

…………

After tutoring Sakura in Chinese for a while, Kenshin Matou left the room.

There was no way. Although he wanted to stay with his sister, the Holy Grail War was long and difficult and far from over.

When I walked into the secret room of the Matou family, as expected, Uncle Liu was inside.

Although his knowledge of magic was average, his extraordinary talent still allowed Kenshin Matou to feel that this secret room was unusual.

As the secret room where his greatest treasure is stored, the old bug was obviously prepared.

But being in the secret room, my body seemed to be lighter.

'Magic bonus? Earth veins? Blessed land?'

During the ten years of imprisonment, the old bug was only willing to teach Jianchen Jiantong butterfly magic. As a result, now that he was in this secret room, the first thing Jianchen Jiantong thought of was the paradise he had seen in the novels of his previous life.

However, this thought is just a thought.

He came here for serious business.

"The simulation is complete? Any new findings?"

Uncle Liu was lying on his back in the chair, holding his cell phone in one hand and stroking his beard with the other hand. He did not take his eyes off the phone until Jianchen Jianchen approached.

"Yeah." Jian Tong Jianchen nodded.

He first talked about some of the things that happened in the simulator, emphasizing how brave and powerful Uncle Liu was, and how he could kill gods and Buddhas. Then he introduced Bluebeard's appearance and approximate abilities after he was demonized.

Uncle Liu listened, and nodded continuously when he heard people praising him. When he heard that he was not interested, he turned his eyes to the phone in his hand.

While telling the news to Uncle Liu, Jianchen Jiantong was also constantly recording it on paper.

First of all.

The assassin and berserker among the seven servants have been eliminated.

Among the remaining five, he controls the caster Liu Da Ye and the lancer Diarmuid.

Other hostile servants this time include Gilgamesh and Iskandar.

As for Saber...

Kenshin Matou has no animosity towards Saber, and has even prepared the ending of this Holy Grail War for Saber.

However, how to get rid of Emiya Kiritsugu without causing Saber's anger is a little troublesome.

Thinking of this, Jianchen Jiantong began to consider how to break the impasse.

It is impossible to kill Saber. How can you call someone who kills his wife a human being?
Iskandar doesn't need to take action for now. Given the character of the King of Conquerors, he will never attack the Master.

Then,

"Is Gilgamesh the only one left?"

Putting down the pen in his hand, Jianchen Jianchen looked up, and the dim light flickered on his face.

Even though he was fully prepared, he still couldn't help but worry when he really had to face that person.

"Uncle Liu."

Jianchen Matou felt that he should have a heart-to-heart talk with his Servant:

"What was your mentality when you attended the Hongmen Banquet? And when you faced Xiang Yu, were you afraid?"

Uncle Liu rejected Jianchen Jianchen's heart-to-heart talk without even raising his eyelids.

He looked at the phone in his hand and said slowly:
"If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. What is there to fear?"

Matou Kenshin: "..."

"Hiss..." He felt a little sad when he heard what Uncle Liu said.

He still remembers that Uncle Liu also said this last time in the simulator.

At that time, he believed what Uncle Liu said.

And the result...

——The Matou family is full of loyal and brave people!

Jianchen Matou walked out of the secret room.

It was impossible to expect Uncle Liu to comfort himself, but fortunately he had a simulator and countless opportunities for trial and error.

If you fail once, will you fail every time?

He will definitely be able to find a way to kill Gilgamesh...right?
