Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

…

According to the information given to Emiya by Kotomine Kirei, he took Saber to a quaint house.

As soon as he entered the room, Emiya Shirou noticed that the room was densely crawling with insects.

As soon as he entered the room, the door behind him was closed by Hassan.

"The so-called moths flying into the flame are talking about you."

The insects condensed into Matou Zouken's body. The old man put his hands behind his back and sneered at Emiya Shirou.

Oops, I fell into a trap!

This was the first thought that came to Shirou Emiya's mind.

And outside the door,

Hassan and Saber started a fierce duel between servants.

But in fact, Hassan was just a bait. From an unknown corner, a black shadow climbed up.

Black straps wrapped around Saber's feet.

As if cursed, many black patches appeared on Saber's blue armor.

The black belt spreads up from the feet and wraps around Saber's body. As long as the servant touches this thing, he will be contaminated and lose his rationality.

Saber screamed out in pain.

"Assassin! You bastard..."

Yes, this black thing was emanating from the black shadow that Emiya and the others saw before.

Hassan said coldly, "No follower can resist this thing, especially a pure follower like you. As long as you are touched by it, you will lose your rationality."

"However, before that, I will accept your heart."

What we have to fight against is not just the shadow, but also the hidden person in front of us.

Now Saber's situation can be said to be quite dangerous.

Even Masaharu Yamada couldn't help but take a breath of air.

During the battle, the two people's conversations alternated, and under the influence of the black shadow, Saber's health continued to decrease.

If this trend continues, it will probably be defeated sooner or later.

However, just when Hassan was about to use his Noble Phantasm to take away Saber's heart, Saber relied on her strong willpower to temporarily repel those black shadows.

…

At the same time, in the room, Shirou, who was fighting an insect controlled by Matou Zouken, also gave the power of the command spell to Saber.

Saber's energy bar is full and she can use her ultimate move.

"Saber!" Emiya Shirou yelled.

The red light of the Command Spell on the back of his hand exploded instantly.

Saber raised the sword in her hand above her head, and then a circle of silvery white light swayed all over her body.

"ha!!!"

Saber's sword flew out quickly, and a strong light directly overturned the entire venue with unparalleled power.

The power is like a storm, sweeping through and destroying everything it encounters.

…

With this sword, Saber almost killed everything.

However, it is a pity that Hassan the Cursed Arm was not successfully killed, and Saber was also swallowed by the black shadow.

Waves swept past, and Hassan appeared again on the outside of the damaged house, but he just sighed:

"Is this the strongest servant?

I would rather confront the darkness in my heart than let me take away my heart. "

At the same time, inside the house, the servant disappeared.

All the command spells in Shirou's hand also disappeared.

"As a master, you have already felt it, right?" Matou Zangyan said with a smile in an old voice, "Your servant has disappeared."

"You bastard!"

Emiya Shirou worked hard and prepared to give it a try.

However, the hidden person outside has also returned to the house.

In other words, Emiya Shirou will face attacks from two people.

And when he was in dire straits, at the critical moment, the one who came to save his life was actually the Servant Rider.

That is, a heroic spirit with long purple hair and eyes that are always covered by a mask.

Eh?

A huge question surged in Yamada Masaharu's heart——

Isn't this Matou Shinji's servant?

Moreover, he had obviously been defeated by Saber before, why did he appear here, and why did he come to save Emiya?

With the addition of Rider, Masaharu Yamada easily defeated Hassan.

Hassan was no match for Rider, and was thrown out heavily by her with a chain. The Hidden Man who fell to the ground hurriedly hid himself in order to survive.

After the battle was over, they discovered that Matou Zōyan had left at some point.

After the rider finished doing this, he didn't say a word to Shirou.

…

Emiya Shirou was the only one left in the entire ancient house. He walked outside the house, trying to find Saber, but he couldn't see anything except the strange black figure standing in the yard.

However, when he walked over, the black shadow had disappeared.

The smooth back of his hand showed that he was no longer the Master.

Yamada Shoji's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Saber is really dead?

I don't know why, but now that I have realized it with hindsight, Yamada Masaharu only feels a sadness spreading through his heart.

Isn't it?

real or fake?

Is Saber just gone?

Good guy, isn't this really the script written by Xuan Urobuchi?

How come there is a strong familiar smell?

Damn it!

Nasu mushroom!

…

After losing Saber, Emiya Shirou was like a soulless body, dragging his injured body towards home.

After arriving at home, Emiya Shirou received a call from Matou Shinji.

It turns out that this hateful guy actually kidnapped Sakura.

So Emiya Shirou dragged his body and rushed to school regardless of the pain after losing Saber.

In the library, Shinji Matou was holding a knife against Sakura's neck.

Threatening Shirou and Rider to fight.

He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Seeing the miserable situation of Shirou Emiya being hanged and beaten by his servants, Shinji Matou smiled extremely happily.

Matou Shinji is a guy with no magic talent. He uses this method to draw happiness from the pain of others to satisfy his twisted and jealous psychology.

However, Rider obviously did not want Shirou's life, but took advantage of the fighting opportunity to throw Shirou towards Matou Shinji.

Shirou flipped around in the air and punched Shinji, knocking him and the table to the ground.

When he stood up, Yamada Masaharu discovered that Emiya Shirou was holding the dagger used to hurt Sakura in his hand.

Blood flowed down the location of the knife edge.

At this moment, Red A, who arrived, jumped in through the window with Tohsaka Rin.

The two people also joined the battle.

After defeating Shinji Matou and Rider.

Matou Shinji was extremely angry.

"To-Tohsaka.!?

Emiya, you despicable person, you didn't keep your promise...! Didn’t I ask you to come here alone? "

Rin responded, "That's right. But you didn't mean that it wasn't an agreement but an order, right?

Then there is no reason to call Emiya-san a scumbag. "

"Are you satisfied? With you taking Sakura away, there's no reason for me to stand still, right? The price you paid for luring Emiya-san out is that you completely become my enemy."

"Everyone of you knows Sakura.

cherry. Sakura, cherry, cherry, cherry cherry, cherry cherry!

It’s really annoying! "

When he heard Sakura's name, Matou Shinji went completely crazy.

He took out a book from his arms and ordered the injured rider to stand up. He wanted to control the servants to continue fighting. He must defeat Emiya and defeat these guys.

However, the current Rider's body has obviously exceeded its load after being defeated, and it is almost impossible to face the next battle.

Finally, Sakura couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "No!"

Just when she shouted no, the book in Matou Shin's hand quickly burned.

Only then did everyone realize that Sakura was the real master and Rider was actually her servant.

The reason why Matou Shinji was able to control Rider was all because of the Book of Fake Minister in his hand. It was through this book that Sakura delegated the power of the Master to him.

The transfer of control to Matou Shinji was actually accomplished by consuming the command spell in Sakura's hand.

Now that the book of hypocrites in her hand has been burned, the control of the servants has naturally returned to Sakura's hands.

Matou Shinji went crazy, and he was particularly unwilling to gain control of the rider from Sakura's hands again. He yelled at Sakura to give him the rider.

But now there is only one command spell left in Sakura's hand. No matter how she transfers it to him, after using the last command spell, Rider will be free again, which is simply impossible.

Matou Shinji then ordered Sakura to kill Emiya Shirou.

Sakura shook her head, "I don't want it. Brother, you broke the promise. Didn't you say you wouldn't kill the senior, but you broke this promise."

So, I have..."

Sakura did not turn back to Shinji.

Shinji seemed to be looking at someone else and smiled.

At the moment when everyone felt something bad and cold.

"───That's good. You can die here."

Matou Shinji smiled ferociously and crushed the glass bottle in his hand. At the same time, a glass bottle also exploded among the earrings that Sakura was wearing.

There was a crisp sound of glass breaking.

"Ah, uh────!"

Sakura clutched her chest and fell against the wall, squatting on the floor with her feet weak.

"Ha, goodbye, Sakura! Your body has become like this. If you want to hate it, don't hate me, go hate Grandpa.

It will be used sooner or later anyway, wouldn't it be happier to let you relax now? "

After saying this, Shen Er fled as fast as he could.

"Ah───ha, ha───!"

Sakura scratched at her chest in pain.

──The ornaments on her ears shattered, and a drug-like liquid dripped from them.

“Ah───, no───I want………………!”

Sakura let out a heartbreaking scream.

She was shaking so violently that she fell down like a building collapsing due to an earthquake.

…

Now Sakura couldn't suppress the magic power scattered in her body.

The out-of-control magic will attack everyone present indiscriminately.

Sakura suppressed the magic power in her body that was about to go berserk, not wanting Rider to attack her seniors and the others.

But Rider still insists that with Sakura's magic power scattered now, the most important thing is to kill Red A and Emiya. After devouring them, they can be used to replenish Sakura's magic power.

After persuading to no avail.

So everyone started fighting with Sakura and Rider who lost control.

In this battle, Rider's strength was not at the same level as before. Under such circumstances, Rider took off the blindfold on his face.

The eyepatch seals Rider's magic eyes, and anything seen by those eyes will be turned to stone.

At the same time, this also revealed Rider’s identity——

She is the legendary witch Medusa.

So every two rounds, Medusa will activate the Magic Eye to freeze one of the three at random.

Sakura's state is relatively chaotic and sometimes she is down, but as long as she launches an attack, she can cause a lot of damage.

Not only do they have to face the dilemma of lacking personnel in each round, but they also have to prevent being taken away by Sakura due to low health.

After a arduous battle, Yamada Masaharu finally defeated them.

…

But Sakura's magic power has gone wild.

The embodied magic exploded in the air, forming black spikes like sea urchins.

Sakura herself might be killed by it.

In order to protect Sakura, Shirou jumped out and pushed Sakura aside.

And he himself was stabbed by magic spikes and fell down.

"────No"

Sakura just clutched her chest in pain, staring dumbfounded at Emiya who rolled to the floor.

“No───ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Emiya was lying on the ground like a puppet with its strings cut off, looking at Sakura.

…

…

The screen suddenly went black.

At this point, the main perspective of the entire game has been switched.

It became Sakura's perspective.

[Sakura, I'm sorry, I can't be by your side anymore. After going to Matou's house, Sakura should have a good future. 】

A man's voice sounded.

It turned out to be a man named Tokiomi Tohsaka.

This guy is Tohsaka Rin's father.

He is also Sakura's father.

[The children of the Matou family are ordinary people with no magic talent. After going to the Matou family, with your talent, Sakura, you will also become an excellent magician. 】

Through the memories in the picture, Yamada Masaharu finally understood:

It turns out that Sakura and Rin are biological sisters, and they are both the daughters of Tokiomi Tosaka. However, Sakura was adopted by Tokiomi and moved to the Matou family, which made Sakura become a member of the Matou family.

Her father's big hand gently stroked Sakura's head, and the latter smiled happily.

…

The screen switches again.

It seems like he is dreaming, the cherry blossoms in the mirror look small.

Still has big eyes, purple hair, and a bow.

So cute, Yamada Shoji thought to himself.

She was sitting alone in the train compartment. When she stood up, she found that the scene on the opposite train was reflected in the window behind her:

In the opposite direction of the train, his father Tosaka Tokiomi was talking and laughing with his sister Tosaka Rin.

However, the train is leaving.

The two trains are like two parallel lines without any intersection between each other. One goes east and the other goes west.

Seeing that her father and sister were about to leave, Sakura fell into a panic. She quickly stood up and chased the sound of the other party leaving.

"dad!"

"elder sister!"

The young Sakura let out a heart-wrenching cry.

Then he ran and opened the carriage doors one after another, just not wanting to miss the opportunity to meet his father and sister.

But……

It was all in vain, and in an instant, they had disappeared from Sakura's sight.

Sakura also flopped forward and fell to the ground, with a look of helplessness on her face and eyes.

At this time, Sakura has been completely abandoned.

At the same time, in front of her, countless insects were crawling densely on the ground.

The whole carriage was full of terrible bugs.

…

A whistling sound.

That voice was quite familiar.

It was the sound of countless bugs dragging themselves and crawling on the walls.

This place is quite familiar.

A dark and damp secret room.

A spiritual temple made underground.

When I was brought to Matou's house, the first room I was given was this dark green room.

In the center of that darkness, there was a human figure.

Although I was confused as to whether it could be called a human being, it looked like a human being.

Matou Zouken laughed.

"As a container, Sakura really has high potential. If this continues, there should be hope for the Matou family in the next Holy Grail War 60 years from now."

"Sakura, this guy cried and shouted for the first three days, but he calmed down on the fourth day."

“I put her in the worm bin this morning to see how long she could last.

After being ravaged by insects for a long time, I still haven't given up my breath.

I have to say that the Tohsaka family’s material is really good. "

When the camera turned, it was the weak Matou Sakura who was buried in the pile of insects, with only one head left.

Seeing this scene, Masaharu Yamada collapsed a little.

Damn it! ! !

Is this guy Matou Zouken really not a human being, so he would do such a cruel thing to Sakura? !

Using the Marking Insect, Matou Sakura's body and spirit were completely destroyed, and then transformed into what Matou Zouken wanted. Not only the magic circuit, but also the mind must obey his orders.

This is the purpose of the Matou Zoun Inkstone.

…

Fear, helplessness, helplessness, resentment...all these filled Matou Sakura's brain.

However, after a long period of torture, all the light in front of her eyes was extinguished.

This is a completely dark world.

I couldn't feel any warmth, it was cold, as if I didn't even exist.

Sakura just opened her eyes, her eyes blank for a while, no different from a corpse.

It's not just despair, it's even numbness.

Seeing this, Yamada felt a little distressed.

It’s hard to imagine how Matou Sakura has endured this for so many years.

Why did Tosaka Tokiomi give Sakura to such a hateful devil?

…

For Matou Sakura, the world has always been dark, and she has always had low self-esteem, thinking that she is not as good as Tohsaka Rin.

Whether in terms of body or family situation, Matou Sakura believes that she is not worthy of comparison with other girls.

My sister is the person who lives brightly and proudly under the sun.

but me……

It's nothing more than a tool controlled by bugs.

In this life, I only deserve to live in darkness.

Once upon a time, Sakura's heart was already a dark stagnant water, with no light at all.

But……

She meets Emiya.

Emiya Shirou's care made Matou Sakura feel unprecedented warmth.

From the day she met Emiya, Emiya cared about her, taught her how to cook step by step, stood up for her after being slapped by her brother, and in order to protect her, let her stay at Emiya's house...

All of this was like a weak crack at first, which was opened bit by bit with a chisel, bringing the slightest flow of wind and sound into her dark and closed world.

Then, those dark rock walls that stubbornly sealed her were crumbling bit by bit.

Until Emiya appeared in her life.

A beam of light shone in, illuminating her entire world.

By this time, Sakura's eyes were filled with tears.

I'm used to this darkness.

If you have never seen the light.

I could have endured it…

Matou Sakura sobbed silently.

…

The Holy Grail War begins again.

Matou Zouken called her forward and ordered: "It's not Matou Shinji, but you who want to fight."

That is something that has been realized.

At least that was how I accepted it until two days ago.

But now I have no determination.

From the moment she figured out that Shirou Emiya was the Master, she lacked the will to fight.

The reason why she was sent to Emiya's house was for surveillance.

However, Shirou Emiya has neither the aptitude to be a Master nor the knowledge of the Holy Grail War.

That can be determined immediately.

Therefore, there is no need to dispatch monitors in the first place.

She excused herself in the name of surveillance and continued to be Emiya Shirou's school girl.

There's no need to fight him, that's it.

Even if one day his true identity will be exposed, he still has an optimistic view that the day of fighting will never come.

But──why, it turned out like this.

"Grandpa, must we kill all the masters?"

The old man's answer was already known.

Because she knew, she never asked.

But the old man laughed.

"How about that? If you want to ask anyway, then just make one or two people into a toy for entertainment.

Just take away the servant.

The remaining masters, you want to make them into toys or dolls, it’s up to you. "

The old man's answer was slightly different from her expectations.

"Eh...?" Matou Sakura opened her eyes wide.

Matou Zangyan looked at her with sinister eyes, "Don't you understand? I said there is no need to kill all the masters.

As long as those who pose a danger are punished.

You can let go of the remaining people who can't cause any obstacles.

Because it was requested by my lovely grandson.

Even though it is our family’s sad wish, we can still accommodate it to some extent. "

Matou Zouken's words lifted Sakura's remaining vigilance.

That old man was sometimes inexplicably gentle.

When practicing Matou's magic "education", he is completely inhumane and as cruel as an insect beast.

But when he said this, he was as friendly as a kind grandfather.

So it is impossible to be cheated.

Whether this was just a whim or calculated tenderness, she had no way of knowing.

Because she has no choice at all, as long as Matou Zangyan gives the order, she must fight with other masters, Shirou and Rin.

"Why, are you still dissatisfied with this? Really, troublesome girl. Because you are so timid, you can't get anything you can get.

Listen, isn't this a good opportunity?

If you want something, just rely on strength to get it.

Hey, Sakura.

Do you want to stay in the position of monitor all the time?

If you want something, just go get it. Whether it's power or power, don't you have it? "

"..."

She didn't answer.

There was nothing I wanted in the first place.

Emiya was just a dream, and Sakura never thought that she would be accepted.

He himself is filthy.

It doesn't suit him at all.

Therefore, the person who can sit next to him must be someone who is more in line with him.

Until that time comes, as long as I can stay by his side like now, it will be good.

Pursuing further happiness will only lead to ruin.

"Grandpa. I can't fight. Just give Rider to my brother."

She said with a trembling voice.

If she resisted here, she knew quite well what kind of attitude would be waiting for her.

She would never get used to the horror of having her arms and legs broken, and being thrown into a swarm of insects.

The limit of rationality so far is two hours.

How many times will it be today? No, before the Holy Grail War is over, I have to endure that kind of thing until the end.

Will go crazy.

Sakura stood there, like a helpless child, not daring to move, just holding her hands tightly.

His hands and feet began to tremble.

The horror of re-education made her want to scream.

But it wasn't the pain she feared.

The only thing she fears is——

Unable to endure the pain any longer, I turned into obeying the old man's will.

"...Hmm. Then there is nothing we can do. There is no reason to lose an important successor through unreasonable force. This time, let's just watch the battle from the sidelines."

Matou Sakura held her breath.

Although he didn't know if the old man was serious, he accepted her excuse.

The trembling all over his body stopped, and a warm feeling of relief spread throughout his chest.

──Her heart that became defenseless,

“But that’s a bit dissatisfying.

Among the candidates this time, the girl from the Tohsaka family is the best among them.

If even luck is on her side, maybe she can get what we say. "

Let the old man's voice of regret sneak in.

"────Sister, is it?"

Just then, the devil entered.

She had a premonition.

If it were my sister, she would definitely win. .She's just that kind of person.

You can always get everything you want,

Then he walked forward in a high-spirited manner, as if it were a matter of course.

Without looking back at myself who was standing still, I took everything I wanted.

Then───she will definitely win.

His body became as cold as ice.

It doesn't matter what it looks like.

Already used to it.

Already used to it.

Already used to it.

───I have long been used to this kind of thing.

My sister can get everything in her hands.

No matter the pain I endure, the constant hatred, the glorious future, and then, even the only person I can rely on,

They will gradually disappear from my face───

Matou Sakura looked at her feet, which were twisted.

Just saying this made her feel dizzy, and she let out a breath...

I just feel pain in my chest.

She twitched slightly.

His chest felt like a needle pricking him, and he was attacked by a feeling of disgust.

At this time, it started to rain outside.
