Chapter 157



On the second day of the Holy Grail War, Tosaka Rin got up and went to school.

Ize Shan asked her, "Do you want me to follow you?"

Tosaka Rin thought for three seconds and said quickly, "Yes."

Last time, Shinji Matou asked Rider to set up a magic formation in the school, trying to absorb the students' vitality to replenish their magic power. I don't know if Shinji Matou did the same this time.

And Soichiro Kuzuki is a teacher at the school. What if he brings her to school?

"This is the Holy Grail War!" she stressed. "You can stay near me in spirit form. Is that okay?"

Ize Shan was satisfied with the girl's attitude and awareness: "Okay."

A little late, Ize Shan suddenly realized that he actually had to go to school to attend classes!

When was the last time he went to school? It was so long ago that he couldn't even remember!

Ize Shan felt a rare sense of anticipation in his heart.

Tosaka Rin also felt a little uncomfortable, but more of a sense of novelty.

She hadn't been to school for a long time, especially a school for ordinary people like this. She hadn't seen her old friends - such as Misaki and Himuro - for ten years.

Although fighting the Holy Grail War is annoying, it is a rare and novel experience to have the opportunity to see my friends' childhood again.

With such a happy and expectant mood, Tosaka Rin carried her schoolbag and went to school with great interest.

As soon as she entered the school gate, Tosaka Rin saw Shirou Emiya and Kazunari Yanagi talking under the cherry trees near the school gate.

Tosaka Rin's gaze was too obvious, and the two people who were talking looked over at the same time.

Yanagido Kazunari adjusted his glasses and said, "Tosaka, what's the matter?"

Tosaka Rin reacted suddenly, she coughed and said, "It's okay, good morning, and..."

She was about to greet Shirou Emiya when the red-haired boy in front of her raised his hand and greeted her: "Good morning, Tosaka."

Tosaka Rin's gaze froze.

What's on the back of Shirou Emiya's raised hand? Damn! It's a Command Seal!!

Why did Shirou Emiya become the lord of the empire?

She looked around subconsciously. Where is the Servant? Where is Shirou Emiya's Servant? None?

Shirou Emiya felt uncomfortable as Tosaka Rin stared at him with a murderous look.

"Uh, Tosaka...?"

Yanagido Kazunari also noticed the problem and whispered, "You didn't offend Tosaka in any way, did you?"

Shirou Emiya said dryly: "How could that be? She is..." a young lady!

Tosaka Rin suddenly turned her face away and walked away angrily.

Yanagido Kazunari: "... so early in the morning, did she take the wrong medicine?"

Shirou Emiya: “I don’t know either…”

In the corridor on the second floor of the school's teaching building, Matou Sakura stood in front of the window, watching Emiya Shirou and Tosaka Rin looking at each other. She lowered her head involuntarily, and her expression became gloomy.

Oberon's voice sounded again: "Emiya Shirou is really popular. That girl has magic power. Is she a magician? Is she also a master of magic?"

Matou Sakura did not answer, and Oberon did not ask further questions.

The bell rang and students returned to the classroom for class.

On the rooftop, Ize Shan didn't bother to review his student life. He saw Oberon sitting on the water tank on the rooftop.

Oberon folded his arms across his chest, crossed his legs, and glared at him with an unhappy and annoyed expression.

Ize Shan laughed. He looked around and didn't find any other servants or familiars, so he simply exerted force on his feet and jumped onto the water tank, and even sat down next to Oberon.

"Thank you for pulling me out, Oni-chan~"

Oberon made a vomiting expression and said in disgust, "There's nothing I can do. If I want to beat you up, I can only pull you out first."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I can now see directly into your thoughts."

"Nani? You have fairy eyes too?"

Oberon was startled and looked at Ize Shan in shock.

Izawa Shan laughed: "Not really." He explained: "The swordsmanship school I practice has a saying about the highest realm. A swordsman who has reached the highest realm can see through everything, such as the composition of the human body, such as Britain, where the goblins piled up corpses."

Oberon calmed himself down and nodded: "I know this."

"The senior who worked with me back then was not good at speaking and often offended people without knowing it. In order to help him, I studied the human heart a little more. Combined with the state of clarity, after years of training, I can slowly see through the thoughts in some people's hearts."

Ize Shan glanced at Oberon with a smile in his eyes, "When I descend as a heroic spirit, my past experiences and abilities will be upgraded, and I will naturally have the ability to see other people's thoughts."

Oberon's expression stiffened slightly.

"Especially after I made the contract with you, just as you gained a breath of life, my level of clarity has also been enhanced."

For example, when Ize Shan appears in the form of Lahmu, he can fly freely between heaven and earth, but he is more accustomed to using Flying Thunder God when he is in a hurry, which is faster and less noticeable.

"It's true that you wanted to beat me up, it's true that you wanted to help me leave the Sea of ​​Illusion, it's true that you're angry and humiliated now, and it's true that you're secretly happy about this, although this little bit of joy has been completely suppressed by the anger."

Ize Shan laughed, "It doesn't matter, I have thick skin and strong muscles, you can hit me as you like, but be careful not to hurt you when you hit me."

Oberon: "..."

Listen, is this what a human being would say?

Oberon became even angrier.

Izawa Shan didn't pay attention to the various curses that quickly flashed through Oberon's mind, and he took the initiative to mention Matou Sakura.

"I took a quick look at that purple-haired girl last night. Is she your mistress?"

Oberon said idly, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Izawa Sugi: "My Lord wants to save her."

Oberon was stunned: "Who is your master?"

"Tosaka Rin, Matou Sakura's older sister."

"...Ah? They are sisters?"

"Yes, we are brothers. The lord who summoned us must have a special relationship with us." Izawa Sugi said as a matter of course: "Sakura was adopted by the Matou family when she was very young. Except for Matou and Tosaka, no one knows the relationship between the two sisters."

Oberon was silent for a long time, feeling a little absurd and ridiculous.

In other words, no matter how he chose between the two magic families in Fuyuki City, his and Izawa Sugi's suzerains would have to be these two sisters.

It seemed like fate, or as if the dust had settled, and it could even be traced back to the time when he went to Kirshtalia out of curiosity to consult about Fujimaru Ritsuka and the Human Rights Protection Agency Chaldea.

It was because the first director of Chaldea won the Holy Grail War that Chaldea came into being, that there were Group A Servants, that there was Morgan who escaped the killing of fairies and became the Queen of Winter, and then there was the birth of Oberon.

Oberon tilted his head slightly to look at the people beside him.

Perhaps due to the adjustment of his physical condition, Izawa Sugi looks much younger, like a teenager.

He was still dressed in the same sleeveless black tights and matching trousers, with his long jet-black hair hanging down naturally, and the tips of his hair were verdant green.

It is like an ink painting dotted with vitality, or like a blue phoenix butterfly dancing in the sky.

"It's such a headache," he complained. "I'm always causing trouble for others and I'm going to be hated."

"Well, that's what you say, but aren't brothers just the kind of people who hold each other back?"

Izawa Sugi recalled the great achievements of the Six Path brothers and said this.

"...Damn it, your summary is so perfect that I can't even refute it."

Oberon complained: "Even if you hate, you can only forgive in the end?"

Ize Shan blushed: "Haha, this, it's not to the point of hatred, right?"

Oberon snorted. "That won't be the case next time," he said.

Ize Shan whistled and said happily, "Good, no problem~"

Oberon said bluntly: "I want the Holy Grail."

Ize Shan was a little surprised: "What do you want the Holy Grail for?"

Oberon: "Yes. Will you help me?"

Ize Shan didn't care about the details. Fairies are always moody. Sometimes they want something and sometimes they dislike it. It's normal.

"Sure, but first we need to check if the Holy Grail is contaminated."

If the Holy Grail War here is a continuation of the last war that Izawa Sugi participated in, then there is a high probability that there is also a problem with the Holy Grail.

Oberon saw the word polluted, but he didn't care: "Polluted? What could be more evil and hateful than Britain, which has accumulated for fourteen thousand years?"

Ize Shan paused for a moment. Yes, Oberon himself is the embodiment of disaster and the destruction device of the island.

"I once experienced a Holy Grail war. It seemed that the cup would make people's wishes come true in a distorted form..."

"A wish? Are you kidding me? The Holy Grail that can grant wishes only appeared after I achieved my goal. It's simply mocking me!"

Oberon complained first, then said, "If I release my original body, I will have enough magic power, but the world will be ruined. If I don't release my original body, the power I can use will be limited. So the Holy Grail is just a magic power amplifier for me."

Izawa Sugi thought for a moment and said, "In theory, it's fine, but if the Holy Grail has consciousness..."

Oberon rolled his eyes and said, "Then let that consciousness travel through the endless abyss of hell until it finds me first."

Seeing that Oberon had made up his mind, Izawa Shan said, "No problem... Oh, by the way, I learned from Rin that your protector Matou Sakura seems to have been transformed into something similar to the Holy Grail."

Oberon: "I know."

He stayed in the Matou family for almost a week. Under the watchful eyes of the fairy, the Matou family had almost no secrets.

The mumbling in Matou Ruoyan's mind almost exposed his entire plan to Oberon.

Izawa Sugi said: "Tosaka Rin wants to separate the Holy Grail from her sister..."

Oberon: "I just want the Holy Grail."

Izawa Sugi said distressedly: "The Holy Grail needs a carrier to descend."

Last time, Morgan became the carrier of the Holy Grail's consciousness and used the accumulated magic power to pollute Artoria. If the Holy Grail were to descend this time, Matou Sakura would definitely be doomed, and Tosaka Rin would definitely try her best to prevent this from happening.

"What are you thinking?" Oberon said unhappily, "The Holy Grail ritual itself has the vehicle for the Holy Grail to descend. Matou Sakura is a fake Holy Grail that was artificially modified to steal the authority of the Lesser Holy Grail. Separating them will not affect the Holy Grail's descent."

Oberon, who was unaware that Matou Sakura's origin was imaginary and had now been artificially transformed into water, concluded: "We will first kill the other Servants and capture the Lesser Holy Grail, then we will remove the connection to the Holy Grail in Matou Sakura's body and summon the Holy Grail to descend."

He was looking forward to the loving father and filial son, and the friendly brothers and respectful sisters in the Matou family. Now there are the entanglements between two sisters and a senior. A big drama is about to be staged. There is no need to rush to solve the problem of Matou Sakura before seeing the ending.

Ize Shan saw what Oberon was thinking. He was speechless and endured it. Thinking of Saber, he reminded Oberon.

"Be careful not to overturn the car."

Oberon laughed. "You are still here, my resentful brother."

Izawa Sugi: “…”
