"How do you want me to help them?"
Izawa Sugi did not refuse directly, but instead asked Matou Sakura what she thought.
Matou Sakura didn't notice Izawa Sugi's change. She was looking at the jars with a sad face. "Archer, seeing them is like seeing my past self, so I want to give it a try."
Matou Sakura clasped her hands tightly together, twisting her fingers. "Matou family magic is bound to transmit its results back to the mother body. The Crest Bug devoured my magic circuits and vitality, but it is indeed a powerful familiar. If I use the Crest Bug to fight, it should be quite powerful."
"I didn't learn much magic from my grandfather. Recently, I just started to organize the family library at my sister's request. Even the problem I have..." Matou Sakura was silent for a moment and looked at Izawa Sugi. "I devoured the Servant yesterday, but released it under your control. This is contrary to the characteristics of magic that Matou must return."
“So I wondered, could I, could I release the power of receiving?”
Matou Sakura pointed at the children and said, "If I can release them, will it be possible to save them?"
After hearing this, Izawa Shan's eyes, which had been getting duller and duller, froze and gradually began to become brighter.
"You want to save them yourself?"
Matou Sakura was a little uneasy: "No, I can't?"
"...That's the strength you got from your suffering. You can use it however you want." The strange aura on Izawa Shan dissipated a lot, and he said with a smile: "I thought you would ask me to help directly."
Izawa Sugi is a person who is happy to help others.
Even if he is tempted or forced, he will usually just give a warning, but if the other party really has no way out, he will still lend a hand.
But this does not mean to help without any principles.
He was willing to help Sakura Matou seal the Holy Grail in her body, one reason was because he had met Sakura Matou when she was five or six years old in the past, and the other reason was because of Rin Tosaka's efforts and persistence.
Tosaka Rin is a very responsible sister. She has almost thought of a complete way to save her sister. All she needs is Izawa Sugi to beat up Matou Kuran.
As Tosaka Rin's servant, it is within Izawa Sugi's job to beat up other servants and lords.
Izawa Sugi admired Tosaka Rin, who was strong, independent and capable, so he didn't mind helping her a little.
But Izawa Sugi was in a delicate state at the moment, with a somewhat unpredictable temper. After hearing Matou Sakura's request, his first reaction was to test and observe.
Could it be that this child thinks he is being taken advantage of?
Matou Sakura was a little confused.
"...No, Mr. Archer has helped me a lot." She lowered her head slightly, subconsciously raised her hand to brush the hair beside her ears, and even touched the hairband on her temples. "In fact, the Matou family used to have an uncle. He was very good and said he would save me."
"He had already left the Matou family, but because of me, he became food in a worm's nest."
Matou Sakura murmured, "That's really stupid."
The ten years in the Matou family made Matou Sakura understand many things, such as not to do things beyond one's ability, not to make promises beyond one's ability, not to expect others to save oneself, etc.
If Uncle Matou Kariya had not died, even if he was far away, even if he occasionally came home to see her...
Izawa Sugi was silent for a while before saying, "You want to save them. I have a simple way, but are you sure you want to do it? If you do, Rider won't be able to get the Holy Grail."
Matou Sakura looked at Izawa Sugi in surprise: "Ah? Why?"
Izawa Sugi said: "Because Oberon and I are brothers, we are summoning in violation of the rules, and death will not return to the Holy Grail, but leave Fuyuki City."
"With Gilgamesh showing up, there are eight servants. In the end, Oberon and I will leave, and neither of us will do anything to Arthur. The power of five servants... Uh, will the Greater Holy Grail be born?"
Matou Sakura widened her eyes and looked at Izawa Sugi in disbelief; her attention was completely drawn to something else.
"Brother? Are you Oberon's brother?"
Izawa Sugi said as a matter of course: "Yes, you and Lin are sisters, aren't you?"
Matou Sakura's smile grew brighter and brighter, and she said happily, "You're right! My sister and my Servant are of course brothers!"
Izawa Shan pointed at the jars in front of him and said, "What about these?"
Matou Sakura pursed her lips and took a deep breath: "Forget it then."
Ize Shan raised his eyebrows: "Just give up like that?"
Matou Sakura whispered, "Saving them is what I want to do, but it's more important for Archer to help his brother obtain the Holy Grail."
Ize Shan couldn't help laughing, and his originally light eyes turned into pure gold, and the emerald green that was originally divided in half gradually moved upwards, and finally turned completely into emerald green.
His job description froze, and in Matou Sakura's eyes, he became Lancer.
Izawa Sugi reached out and touched Matou Sakura's head. "You are doing very well like this. Keep it up."
Under Matou Sakura's puzzled gaze, Izawa Sugi walked around the basement, first stopped the formation on the ground that absorbed life force, and then checked the condition of the jar.
"This liquid can last for five days. It may not be that troublesome to deal with these children after the matter of the Holy Grail is over."
Izawa Sugi was thinking about waiting for Sakura Matou to absorb enough power and then killing these children directly. He would then control Sakura Matou to perform a Reincarnation Technique on the spot to return all the power absorbed by Gilgamesh.
"But there is a prerequisite." Izawa Sugi looked at Matou Sakura with a smile, "During this period, no one is allowed to explore the Holy Church. Can you do it?"
Matou Sakura was obviously stunned and a little at a loss, but soon her eyes revealed a firm look.
"I see."
Matou Sakura found a phone in the church and called Matou Tsuruno directly.
Matou and Tosaka have settled in Fuyuki City for more than 200 years and each has a large network of relationships. Matou Sakura hopes that Matou Tsuruno can think of a way to temporarily delay the destruction of the Cathedral Church by the earthquake for a few days.
“Please officially announce that going to the church is prohibited, and then ask the municipal government to put up a sign prohibiting entry at the mountain road.”
Matou Sakura, who had been forced to learn a lot of things, racked her brains and discussed with Matou Tsuruno, "Hey? What should we do after that? It doesn't matter, the Holy Grail War will be over by then... Uh, the Magic Association?"
Matou Sakura swallowed and said, "Then I can only ask my sister for help. Okay, I understand."
Regarding matters concerning the Magic Association, I can only rely on my sister.
Speaking of my sister...
"Ah! A-Lan…"
"Just call me Archer."
"Oh, Mr. Archer, where's your sister?"
"She is...sleeping in Shirou Emiya's house."
Matou Sakura: “…Huh?”
The girl's face gradually tensed up. She was confused at first, then she couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and then it turned into helplessness and relief.
"Is that so... That's good. With the seniors taking care of me, I think I'll be fine."
Matou Sakura raised her hands and slapped her face, forcing herself to shift her attention to the children.
"I'm fine now. Let's go back to the Matou household. I'm going to look through the magic books at home. Maybe I can find another way."
Izawa Sugi looked at Matou Sakura with a subtle expression, not knowing what to say.
On the way home, Izawa Sugi and Oberon followed Matou Sakura invisibly and whispered to each other.
Oberon: "Wow, she really said that? I thought it was a melodrama of "I was there first", but it turned out to be a humble drama of "You were there first, but you were not there first"?"
Izawa Sugi's mouth twitched: "Where do you put that child, Shirou Emiya?"
Do they really regard him as the two sisters' trophy?
"It doesn't matter. The lord who can summon Arthur must be a good person, right?" Oberon didn't care. He smiled and said, "Have you stabilized your state? Lancer?"
Ize Shan winked at Oberon: "Well! At least it's better than Caster or Beast."
Oberon burst out laughing: "If you become Caster, will it be King Uther's state?"
Ize Shan laughed: "Ah, if I meet Arthur, I will definitely drag you along. It's rare that my father and uncle are here, so of course we have to have a family reunion, right?"
Oberon coughed repeatedly.
To be honest, he wanted to watch Izawa Sugi and King Arthur have fun, but considering that he would be doomed if Izawa Sugi really got angry, he finally gave up.
"Well, if he doesn't bother me, I'll just continue to be a spectator."
He glanced at Izawa Sugi teasingly, "You should first think about how to explain to Tosaka Rin that you have become a Lancer."
Izawa Shan said calmly: "No need to explain. After all, I did reorganize it once, and the contract with her was ambiguous. She probably thinks I'm dead now."
"Huh? So Arthur also thinks you're out?"
"Yes, except Miss Sakura and you, no one knows of my existence."
Oberon calculated: "Caster has a grudge against Arthur and has attacked Arthur before, plus no one knows where he went..."
His expression gradually became subtle. "What about tonight?"
"Yeah, I guess the serkers will attack Arthur."
Izawa Shan said with a pitiful look, "I hope Arthur can hold on."
Damn it, if Arthur hadn't stopped Lancer, he wouldn't have been broken once!
Ize Shan didn't add insult to injury because of their fake father-son relationship, but if he wanted to take the initiative to help, just dream on!
Oberon laughed: "Then I'll go see the excitement tonight."
Hehe, even if you don't watch the excitement between Ize Shan and King Arthur, you still have to set some traps for Arthur.
By the way, he once pretended to be Merlin in front of Caster. Would you like to give it a try?
When they returned to the Matou family, to their surprise, Tosaka Rin had come back without them noticing!
She was standing at the front door of the Matou family's house, with a bandage on her shoulder, and it looked like she had already been treated for the injury.
"Sakura!" Tosaka Rin went forward and hugged her sister, looking up and down: "What happened to the church? When I came back, I heard from Matou Tsuruno that the church was attacked. I was about to look for you, but he said you were walking back..."
Matou Sakura was overjoyed at first, but when she heard what Tosaka Rin said, her expression became a little subtle.
"Didn't my sister stay at my senior's house? Why is she so
You're back so early?"
She was smiling and looked very happy.
"The food that senior cooks is delicious. I thought my sister would come back after having breakfast."
Tosaka Rin looked strange: "...I'm not familiar with him. Although he took me home to recuperate yesterday, fortunately Teacher Fujimura was there too. She treated my wounds and I even had a good sleep. How could I continue to stay there for breakfast?"
Matou Sakura was stunned: "Sister is not familiar with the senior?"
Tosaka Rin said as a matter of course: "Yes, you are very familiar with that guy, aren't you? I noticed him because he took good care of you."
Her expression softened, "Sakura, you like Emiya Shirou very much, right?"
Matou Sakura asked subconsciously: "Don't you like it too, sister?"
Didn’t they look at each other passionately at the school gate?
Tosaka Rin looked at her sister in confusion: "Huh? Who said I like him?"
That's her future brother-in-law!
