Izawa Sugi's eyes widened slightly, and he was a little surprised after hearing what Tosaka Rin said.

Izawa Sugi really didn't know this. After all, in the Holy Grail War he participated in, the three chiefs of the three families, the chiefs of Matou and Tosaka, all died, and Kiritsugu Emiya ran away with his wife Alicefiel.

In the end, Izawa Sugi used the Chibaku Tensei to seal the evil of this world hidden in the Holy Grail, and quickly slipped back to the holy land of Avalon.

Even so, he was still blocked by Morgan and Artoria and became Merlin's laughing stock.

Of course Merlin wasn't having an easy time either. After Ize Shan comforted Morgan and Artoria, the three of them teamed up to knock out Merlin.

At this moment, Ize Sugi was shocked when he heard Tosaka Rin say that Heroic Spirits are actually like firewood, and are tools used to activate the Greater Holy Grail. "Is that so? How should I put it? They are indeed human beings."

Summon the dead heroes as heroic spirits, let them fight to their heart's content, and after their deaths filled with hatred, resentment, and resentment, use this as a basis to build the Holy Grail that leads to the source...

Humankind's pursuit of power remains as reckless as ever.

Thinking of this, Izawa Sugi looked at Tosaka Rin: "Rin, why are you telling me this?"

Tosaka Rin felt a little uneasy, but still looked straight at Izawa Sugi.

"Because, because I don't want to reach the root in this way, I will work towards the root using a method that I approve of!"

Rin Tosaka will never forget the red archer Shirou Emiya who died protecting her during the five Holy Grail Wars.

Perhaps the Heroic Spirit is just a record of the realm that carries information about human heroes, and is just a familiar controlled by the magician. But for her, fighting and communicating with the Heroic Spirit is an experience of extraordinary significance.

"I want the Holy Grail, not to make a wish, but to gain victory and to undo the Great Holy Grail ritual!"

In the future, she had once helped El-Melloi II to break this ritual, so she knew the steps. Now with Archer's help, who had mastered advanced knowledge of magic, Tosaka Rin felt that she could try harder.

"I originally wanted to save Sakura and avenge my father, but since I can do more, I'll do it."

Tosaka Rin unconsciously hugged the pillow on the sofa and looked at Izawa Sugi with burning eyes.

"Archer, can you help me?"

Izawa Sugi couldn't help but laugh when he saw the somewhat nervous Tosaka Rin.

"Rin, if other servants heard you say this, they would most likely turn against you."

After all, the servants who responded to the summons also had their own wishes. If Tosaka Rin directly canceled the Holy Grail Ritual, the wishes of the Heroic Spirits would be in vain.

Tosaka Rin was a little embarrassed: "But I summoned you, Archer! You guys, do you agree or not? Don't laugh at me!"

Seeing that Tosaka Rin was getting angry and wanted to throw a pillow at him, Izawa Shan laughed and said, "First, correct a wrong concept."

He raised his finger and winked at the girl: "I am not a heroic spirit."

Tosaka Rin: “…Huh?”

Izawa Sugi thought for a moment and said, "That's not true. I did participate in the Greater Holy Grail ritual and became a Heroic Spirit, but I didn't die."

"For example, I signed a contract with the Holy Grail ritual. I responded to the call to participate in the battle and helped to start the ritual. If I win the Holy Grail War in the end, the Holy Grail will belong to me. If I fail, I will give the ritual a portion of magic power to pay for the participation fee, and I will return to my normal state."

Ize Shan spread his hands and shrugged, "For some reason, I was drifting in the virtual world before. The ritual of the Holy Grail War was like an anchor outside the virtual world. I used the ritual to escape from the virtual world and return to the real world. Now my goal has been achieved, so I said that I have no need for the Holy Grail War."

Tosaka Rin opened her mouth wide, and it took a long time before she closed it.

She stammered, "Oh my god, this is the first time I've heard that a being without death can descend as a heroic spirit?"

Ize Shan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know King Arthur?"

Tosaka Rin was stunned for a moment, then she nodded quickly: "I have heard that during the Holy Grail War that my father participated in, the Lord of War summoned King Arthur."

"King Arthur is not dead. He simply responded to the call of the Holy Grail ritual when he was on the verge of death and descended into the world a thousand years later as a heroic spirit."

At this point, Ize Shan couldn't stop laughing in his heart. In this Holy Grail War, he and Oberon were both here to divide the waters. Arthur Pendragon should not be dead either. His mission was to travel through various worlds to track down the Beast.

Among the seven servants, at least three will not be able to return to the Greater Holy Grail. According to Tosaka Rin, this Holy Grail War was doomed from the beginning.

"But I don't object to your proposal." Ize Sugi winked at Tosaka Rin and said with a smile: "I don't like the feeling of losing, so of course I have to work hard to win~"

Tosaka Rin was overjoyed after hearing this. She nodded repeatedly: "Yes! I don't want to lose!"

Reaching a consensus with her Servant, Tosaka Rin was in a very good mood: "Then I'm going to sleep. We have to fight again tomorrow night, you should also have a good rest."

Izawa Sugi: "Good night."

It was a very quiet night, and it seemed that the leaders and servants on all sides were observing and thinking about their subsequent plans of action.

Oberon strolled to the Emiya residence, and Emiya Shirou's guardian Fujimura Taiga came back. Together with King Arthur, the three of them had dinner and then rested.

Oberon didn't see anything interesting, so he simply left the Emiya mansion, wandered around outside for a while, and then returned to the Matou family's house.

Early in the morning, Ize Shan was making fried eggs in the kitchen, and Oberon sneaked in when he smelled the aroma.

"Wow, looks like I came back just in time."

Izeshan glanced at Oberon and asked, "Did anything interesting happen last night?"

Oberon tilted his head and thought for a moment: "A hidden magic workshop appeared in Miyama Town. There are residents nearby who are in comas. I saw an ambulance. Caster might be lurking there."

Ize Shan put the fried eggs on the plate and asked casually, "Did you find any traces?"

"No, I also went to Ryudo Temple and found no trace of magic." Oberon replied.

"...Wait, wait!" Tosaka Rin, who was wearing pajamas, looked at the Servant who appeared in the kitchen in astonishment, "You are, are you Rider?!"

Izawa Sugi greeted Tosaka Rin: "Yo, good morning. Yes, this is Sakura-san's Servant Rider. We already know each other."

Tosaka Rin was a little confused. After a few seconds, the confusion she felt after waking up in the morning gradually dissipated and she regained her senses.

"...Oh, by the way, Sakura is also the Lord of the Rings. She did summon the Servant."

But shouldn't the Servant summoned by Sakura be a tall, light pink-haired girl with special magic eyes? How come it turned out to be this handsome prince-like guy with beautiful wings and a cheerful and handsome face?

Izawa Sugi and Oberon, who saw what Tosaka Rin was thinking at the same time, looked at each other.

Oberon smiled and said, "Give me an explanation later."

Izawa Sugiya smiled: [… Yeah (perfunctory)]

"Good morning, Miss Rin." Oberon greeted Rin with a sigh. "I'm Rider. As you can see, I'm a fairy with little offensive power. I have some ability in reconnaissance. Thank you very much for your care and love for my savior. Please give me your guidance in the future!"

As he said this, he deliberately raised his cape and turned a half circle, his moon-like hair swaying, and the star crown on his head shining brightly. With his bright and handsome smile, Tosaka Rin couldn't help but take a breath and felt a little dazed.

Wow, what a fairy tale prince!

"Um, good morning. I'm Tosaka Rin, Archer's protector and Sakura's older sister."

After a slow response, Tosaka Rin looked serious, "Rider, Sakura is my sister, so of course I have to take care of her. Since you said so, it seems that you and Sakura get along well, so I will ask directly."

"Rider, what did you use Sakura's Command Seals for?"

Oberon looked at Tosaka Rin in surprise, then quickly glanced at Izawa Sugi.

"Ah, what an amazing sisterly bond! But even so, you are both competitors in the Holy Grail War, so it's not appropriate to ask so directly, right?"

Wow, this Tosaka Rin is so strong!

Tosaka Rin frowned, she muttered something under her breath, and asked helplessly: "Tsk, okay, then let me change the question, did Sakura order you to protect her?"

After a pause, she said, "Or, she asked you to protect Shirou Emiya, right?"

Oberon whistled and said meaningfully, "It seems that you are also concerned about Shirou Emiya."

Tosaka Rin looked at Oberon suspiciously. She found that Rider hardly answered any of her questions directly.

"…Since Sakura was paying attention to Emiya Shirou, of course I would notice him."

She was silent for a few seconds, sighed, and raised her arms.

"Declare—"

As her magic power gathered, Tosaka Rin looked towards Izawa Sugi.

"In the name of the Command Seal, Archer, protect Sakura."

Izawa Sugi was using a spatula to place the last fried egg on the plate when he was stunned when he heard Tosaka Rin say this.

"…Why so suddenly?"

"Yesterday we worked together to seal Matou Ruoyan. Under such a fierce magical reaction, the Command Seals on the back of Sakura's hand did not appear. It is obvious that she has used up all the Command Seals."

Tosaka Rin raised her hand to support her forehead, "I interrogated Shinji, and he did get the right to use Rider. That should be the effect of the Command Seal. It even implicated Shirou Emiya. Then Sakura would definitely use the Command Seal to protect Shirou Emiya..."

In short, the beating of Matou Shinji yesterday was fruitful. Tosaka Rin finally understood why Emiya Shirou still became the lord.

After some speculation and combining it with what happened in the past, Tosaka Rin guessed that Matou Sakura should have used up all her Command Seals.

Oberon looked at Tosaka Rin quietly and sighed. It was really a headache. She was indeed the lord who could summon Izawa Sugi. He was not good at dealing with such an upright guy.

Ize Shan whistled and laughed.

Oberon glared at Izeshan, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a shallow but relaxed smile.

Never mind. This is not bad.

He waved happily towards the distance.

"Anyway, it's an alliance now, right? Sakura, come down and have breakfast."

Tosaka Rin was stunned. She turned around subconsciously and saw Matou Sakura standing on the stairs behind her, staring at this side with wide eyes.

Apparently she had heard the previous conversation in the kitchen.

"elder sister……"

It turns out that everything that happened last night was not a dream.

Tosaka Rin smiled and waved: "Good morning, Sakura."

Matou Sakura's eyes became moist again, but this time she didn't cry, but smiled brightly.

"Morning, sister, Rider, Archer~"
