Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

For Irisviel, whose world was confined to the small world of Eindzbern Castle, the outside world was naturally very attractive.

To draw an analogy, it's like the other world being to Wakaba Himeiro. Although she had Zabiko's help before, the Einzbern family could no longer restrain her.

However, Mrs. Ellie was a simple and gentle person, and with her friend Zabi and her daughter Ilya by her side, she never had the idea of ​​leaving Einzbern.

Hearing Yahweh's words, the lady was naturally somewhat tempted.

"But...Ilya..."

Mrs. Alice was a little worried about her daughter.

"Just bring her along too!"

There were two reasons why Irisviel did not bring Illya to Eastwood City in the original course of fate.

Firstly, there was the constraint of the Einzbern family, and secondly, the inherent danger of the Holy Grail War itself.

However, none of this mattered to Yahweh.

Zabi, naturally, couldn't refuse Yahweh's suggestion. And so, the matter was settled.

........................

Ahad naturally refused the group's decision to go to Fuyuki City ahead of schedule.

However, he was no longer the person he used to be, able to control everything in Einzbern at will.

Therefore, the old android had no choice but to agree in the end.

Although it would be incredibly easy for Yahweh to reach Fuyuki City using his spatial abilities, he still chose to travel by plane.

After all, the process is what matters; as for the result...

What's the point of caring about things that are already predetermined?

Furthermore, one of the people on this trip was not heading to Eastwood City.

"My Lord..."

It might be due to the knowledge within my spirit origin, and my life in Einzbern these past few years.

Although this village girl saint still looks a bit silly, she is much better than before.

She looked at Yahweh with respect, her eyes slightly excited.

After being saved from the stake by Yahweh, Joan of Arc was kept in Einzbern by him.

If she weren't so devout, she probably would have thought she had been abandoned by "the Lord"!

At this moment, serving the "Lord" once again, the saintess's emotions were naturally difficult to contain.

"Joan of Arc, my faithful follower, I have something I need you to do."

At this moment, Yahweh called her to his side, naturally giving her a task.

"The church in this world, lacking brilliant guidance, has gone astray and has begun to decay internally."

“I need you to use my light to cleanse the filth within the church.”

"I give you the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and the power to judge!"

"In this way, we can accomplish this task."

Although the church in this world has not lost its faith in Him, it has clearly gone astray in many ways.

This would be a good opportunity for Joan of Arc, a "saint" of the church, to resolve the matter and bring Karen along as well.

“Joan of Arc will certainly not fail my lord’s trust.”

Although she was reluctant to leave Yahweh's side, it was naturally the "Lord's" task, so she would not slack off in the slightest and would definitely do her best to complete it.

After making arrangements for Joan of Arc, Yahweh and the remaining girls went to Eastwood.

........................

"Is this Fuyuki City? The stage for the Holy Grail War..."

It was winter, and the weather was cold; the ice and snow on the road had not yet melted.

However, the thick coat she wore could not conceal Mrs. Alice's charm in the slightest.

She gazed at the snowy landscape of Dongmu, her crimson eyes filled with curiosity about the outside world.

"This is... the outside world..."

Ilya let the cold wind slap her cheeks until they were red, her eyes showing the same expression as Irisviel's.

"Mother……"

Ilya shook Irisviel's arm, her eyes brimming with anticipation.

“Mr. Yahweh…”

However, when faced with her daughter's request, Irisviel turned her gaze to Yahweh behind her, revealing an inquiring expression.

"If you want to, then there's no need to worry about so much..."

Looking at the mother and daughter who resembled elves, Yahweh replied in a gentle tone.

"The world outside the castle...you and Ilya have been looking forward to it for a long time, haven't you?"

"As for me……"

Yahweh seemed to sense something, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"...It just so happened to be at this time, what a bad timing..."

"However, it won't take me too long to deal with that matter. I'll meet up with you after I'm done."

“Well… Mr. Yahweh, please be careful.”

Irisviel actually prefers to stay with Yahweh, since she can go sightseeing in Eastwood whenever she wants.

However, after glancing at Ilya beside her, she finally said this.

........................

"Grandpa Zangyan, where are we going?"

At the Matou residence, a short, elderly man is leading a cute little girl through a dark passageway.

The little girl followed behind the old man, asking him this question in a somewhat timid tone.

Sakura Tohsaka, perhaps she should be called Sakura Matou now.

She is the second daughter of the Tohsaka family, a family of magicians in Fuyuki City. She has a doting older sister and a gentle and virtuous mother, and so far, she has had a relatively happy life.

However, all of this was interrupted by a decision made by the father.

P.S.: The author originally wanted to write a Holy Grail War, with the original Fourth Holy Grail War characters remaining largely unchanged, but adding a few more characters (through new quests and group members)... However, with too many characters, it's difficult to manage, and purely following the plot feels quite boring... What do you all think would be better?

Chapter 167: The Light That Tears Through the Darkness

For magicians, nothing is more tragic than the loss of their lineage.

In this respect, the magician named Tokiomi Tohsaka was undoubtedly lucky.

Because his daughter is a true genius.

It is enough to inherit the Tohsaka family's Jewel Magic, or even take it to a higher level.

In a sense, he was also unfortunate.

Because his two daughters are both exceptionally talented, a talent rarely seen in the world.

However, only one of them could inherit the Tohsaka family's magic crest, while the other could only waste her talent and become mediocre.

As a standard magician and a father who loves his two daughters equally, Tokiomi Tohsaka naturally didn't want such a thing to happen.

However, no matter how unwilling he was, he would eventually have to make a choice.

Ultimately, Tokiomi Tohsaka chose Rin Tohsaka, whose magical attributes were the five elements.

As for Sakura, who possesses the imaginary number attribute, although unwilling, she could only reluctantly "abandon" it.

However, it seems that the heavens are favoring the Tohsaka family.

Just as he made this decision, the Matou family took the initiative to ask to adopt Sakura and promised to raise her as their successor.

For Tokiomi Tohsaka, this was undoubtedly a windfall, and he couldn't resist the temptation.

If Sakura could inherit the Matou family's magic crest, she wouldn't have to become mediocre, and she would definitely be able to become an excellent magician like her older sister in the future.

"You are no longer a child of the Tohsaka family. Go, Matou Sakura."

Tokiomi Tohsaka said something that was absolutely cruel for a father to his child.

Faced with his daughter's sadness and reluctance, Tokiomi Tohsaka naturally felt a pang of guilt.

However, such feelings were quickly replaced by a more resolute determination.

Compared to a future as a magician...

The temporary separation and sadness are worthwhile.

Compared to the magic crest that brings together the wisdom of an entire magic family, the price Sakura paid was negligible.

He believed that in the future, Sakura would understand him!

Then, Sakura Tohsaka disappeared, and only Sakura Matou remained.

His own little villa, the dolls on his bed, his loving older sister, and his gentle mother...

everything……

Everything is gone.

Along that closed iron gate.

That warm world, I said goodbye to her.

The eerie Matou mansion made Sakura tremble subconsciously, and she felt afraid.

As she walked with Zouken Matou through the dark passage, the further they went, the more uneasy she felt.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask the stranger, the grandfather, the question that had been bothering her.
