Davidian's Holy Grail War

Upon hearing this, Rin immediately showed a look of surprise. Then, her expression inevitably turned sad, remembering Sakura, which was always the case, especially now that she knew Sakura was also involved in the Holy Grail War.

"Speaking of which, Lord David, what's the situation with this Holy Grail War? If you get involved and cause trouble, then no one will be able to control you. Shouldn't you just surrender and go back to your seat sooner rather than later?"

Muramasa's attitude was clear at this point: if Davidan was involved, there was nothing more to say, and they should just run away. If Davidan wasn't involved, then they could stay and play around for a while longer.

"Go ahead and fight, I won't stop you or get involved. To be honest, I've already figured out what's going on with this Holy Grail. It's another completely tainted one, so do whatever you want."

After Davidian finished speaking, Muramasa understood the current situation. It seemed that this Holy Grail War was really not very good and not very interesting.

"Well then, I'll leave this little girl in your care. The rest is up to you," David said, and left with peace of mind.

Muramasa smiled and said goodbye to him. To be honest, he was really nervous when he first saw David. He was afraid that David would get carried away and start a fight with them, and then kill them all. That would be a real problem.

“Muramasa, that Servant is…” Rin actually felt a strange sense of familiarity when she looked at David, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was. After all, based on her personal memory, she really had never seen David before.

"A true monster. Fighting that kind of monster, I'd probably be defeated in five seconds. Regardless of his class, he's the strongest Servant. But since he doesn't want to get involved, it means this matter is no longer important."

After speaking, Muramasa stood up from the sofa. He was now intrigued; it seemed he would finally be able to see the body he was possessing. "Very well, let's go see it now."

"Muramasa, so, as a swordsman, what level of skill do you possess?" Rin suddenly asked Muramasa, who raised an eyebrow in response.

"I feel at ease, not only because of the local advantage, but also because of the class system. Unless I encounter some particularly strange guys, I can say that I am fearless now."

Muramasa wore that familiar smug smile, and Rin couldn't help but blush secretly. So Shirou can be this handsome when he's serious or mischievous...

"I seem to have a strange affinity for this type of Holy Grail War, don't I?" Davidian strolled down the street, not talking to himself, because Morgan was already beside him.

Morgan raised an eyebrow, then couldn't resist pulling at David's face. It wasn't fate with the Holy Grail War, but rather with pretty young girls, wasn't it? That girl named Sakura was truly pitiful, beautiful and gentle; she must have come to see David for that reason.

"Ouch~ Ouch ouch ouch, do I look like that kind of person?" David felt helpless. Putting everything else aside, Morgan's possessiveness was still the same as ever.

Aside from Artoria, he wouldn't even consider any other woman. David knew her too well, even though he himself didn't feel anything for anyone else.

Chapter 497 All done!

"Emiya-kun, Emiya-kun~ Are you home? If so, please open the door!" Rin rang the doorbell, and since the front door wasn't closed, she just walked in. But judging from the situation, it seemed Shirou wasn't home.

Just as she was thinking this, a dazzling light suddenly emanated from the warehouse next door. Rin and Muramasa exchanged a glance, then immediately rushed towards the warehouse.

When they entered, all they could see was Artoria, who had just been summoned, still standing there. Shirou was so frightened by the "surprise" of the Servant that he was sitting on the ground. This development was too exciting for him.

"Servant, Lancer, Artoria Pendragon, summoned. Are you my Master?" After taking two steps, Artoria extended her hand to Shirou, who was still sitting on the ground, in a friendly voice. Shirou was surprised and subconsciously reached out his hand as well. Artoria then pulled him up.

"They actually summoned a Servant, and judging from the situation, it's such a powerful Servant..." Rin looked at the opponent's shiny white lion helmet and armor. The opponent's Servant was clearly a Lancer, but it actually looked stronger than the swordsman here?

Muramasa was also quite surprised to see the newcomer. He couldn't help but greet him: "Yo~ King Arthur, I didn't expect that we could actually summon you here? So you're always there whenever Lord Camelot is around?"

"Huh? King Arthur? Are you kidding me? I went to great lengths to find the perfect time and opportunity to summon a swordsmith from the Tokugawa era, and he summoned the King of Knights without doing anything, just by luck? Muramasa, you're not kidding, are you?"

Rin was really losing it at this point. She had put in so much effort, but Shirou had just crushed her with luck. What was going on?!

"There's nothing we can do about it. With Lord Camelot here, it's easy to create a chain reaction that summons King Arthur."

Hearing Muramasa's words, Rin calmed down considerably. She'd been thinking about the connection between Muramasa and Shirou the whole way there, and had completely forgotten that Muramasa had also recognized the Servant's real name at a glance—was it... Davidian?

"Huh?! That person was Lord Davidian Sleirik of Camelot? What's going on this time?! How come they can all surpass my efforts just by luck?! I refuse to accept this!"

Muramasa helplessly spread his hands, indicating that he should go with his master. Only then did he begin to examine Shirou in front of him. Yes, he had possessed this kid's body.

Shirou was also shocked to see Muramasa, who looked almost exactly like him. At this moment, even the unexpectedness of summoning Artoria was not enough to describe his current feelings.

"I see. I never imagined that there would be such a compatible young man in later generations. How wonderful! Young man, what are you good at? Enhancement? Or creation?"

Muramasa, arms crossed, started chatting casually with Shirou, who instinctively replied that he knew how to manufacture things, though he also knew a little about enhancement. Muramasa was naturally even more pleased to hear this, as he saw Shirou as someone worthy of being trained.

"Well then, kid, I'll be staying at your place from now on! I'll leave the food and lodging to you. I'll teach you how to forge and strengthen swords; you're a kid who's naturally gifted with swords."

Upon hearing his words, Shirou immediately showed a look of barely suppressed emotion. Don't make such a decision so casually! Other people are coming to his house. What if Fujiwara or Sakura see someone who looks exactly like them but has an inexplicably sleazy air about them?!

Rin couldn't hold back any longer. She started punching Muramasa with her fists from the side. He was her Servant! What was with him thinking of staying at another Master's house for no reason?!

"What does it matter? You like this kid anyway, right? So let him stay and get to know him better." Muramasa didn't hesitate to expose Rin's weaknesses, and Rin's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom!

So the next moment she started kicking Muramasa's shin hard! What nonsense is this guy spouting! When did she ever develop feelings for Emiya-kun?!

Even Shirou, who was standing next to him, couldn't hold back anymore. How long had it been in just one night? He had been shocked so many times.

Meanwhile, Artoria smiled and removed her armor and helmet, revealing her true face, and began chatting with Muramasa. It had indeed been a long time since they had met since the Lostbelts of Britain.

Rin and Shirou were both stunned; what a beautiful person she was!

"Of course, after all, I'm not like you. No one would be crazy enough to summon a swordsmith who forged the cursed sword that killed the Tokugawa family. In comparison, King Arthur, Lord Camelot, and other great heroes of the world are definitely more deserving."

Muramasa remained as carefree and easygoing as ever, having forged the Star Sword. He was currently in peak mental condition, so he wasn't really interested in the Holy Grail War.

This time, he was simply drawn here by a very strong attraction, and he was too lazy to resist, so he followed along. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be quite interesting; he could see the body he was possessing and watch a romantic comedy about young people.

Ah~ For an old man like me, it's truly a happy and joyful life.

"Is Lord David here too? What class is he in this time?" Artoria asked again, and Muramasa looked troubled and began to think.

"Of the seven standard classes, I'm a swordsman, you're a spearman, and he doesn't have any archer affinity, so I guess he's a cavalryman. After all, he speaks quite normally and doesn't go on and on like a berserker or get all paranoid."

After analyzing the situation, Muramasa arrived at the correct conclusion. He also told Artoria that he had just met Davidian. He must have come here following the magical reaction; logically, it was impossible for him not to come and see Artoria.

"I've always been here, you just can't see me."

Only then did David's voice rang out, leaving the others stunned. It was at this moment that they realized the absolute difference in strength between David and them.

"Davidan~!" Artoria was naturally overjoyed, and she lightly threw herself into Davidan's arms. Davidan also hugged her back. No matter how many times they met, they maintained that joy and sincerity in their hearts. They were always like that when they met each other.

Incidentally, Artoria made a face at Morgan behind David and then gave him a smug and proud smile, which immediately ignited Morgan's anger.

[I'm the victor! Sister!]

【Hehe~】

Chapter 498 Everyone is very interesting

Shirou invited everyone into the living room, where he politely brewed tea for them. David picked up a cup, took a sip, and then showed a relaxed expression.

"You've had a tough time, Shirou. You're nothing like your father. He's never even offered me a drink of water." Davidian chuckled, teasing Kiritsugu. This left Shirou completely bewildered. Did this guy even know his father?

"Wait a minute, I'm telling you, you're a Servant, so how do you know so much nonsense? Are you really Lord Camelot? Or are you some imposter from somewhere else?!"

Rin was quite annoyed by David's overly familiar manner and his senior-like attitude towards juniors. However, this was actually because she had been shocked by so many things that night, which made her act like a cat with its fur standing on end, somewhat aggressive towards everyone.

Shirou gently comforted her and calmed her down. Surprisingly, thanks to Shirou's comforting words, Rin actually calmed down.

“I not only know Kiritsugu Emiya, but I also know Tokiomi Tohsaka. Rin, your father and I have a pretty good relationship. If you ask me, your father and his father are both twisted people in some ways.”

That was David's attitude; he also didn't like Tokiomi Tohsaka very much, only saying that he was slightly better than Kiritsugu Emiya.

Rin was stunned by this. Did this person even know her father? This was too unexpected. But David continued, saying that he had even saved her sister twice in different worlds, and that Sakura Tohsaka was at least spared the torment of the Matou family because of his arrival.

"Just like this time, even though she is now Matou Sakura. She has indeed suffered, and I feel sorry for her. I have banished Matou Zouken to the darkness, and Shinji should not dare to provoke Sakura again."

This was something Davidian was used to anyway, but Rin still looked sad as she listened. She really wanted to cry at this moment. She had always been saddened by her separation from Sakura, but she couldn't do anything about it because of the contract she made with the Matou family back then.

Now that David has done everything she couldn't, he won't use it to blackmail her into doing anything. That's too low-class; David doesn't like it, and besides, she doesn't need it.

"Oh, by the way, you'll have to spend a lot of time with her in the coming days and try to comfort her. She's suffered so much over the years, and her feelings for you are incredibly complex. You should understand the complicated emotions between a girl who suffers in the shadows and a girl who stands in the light and enjoys glory, right?"

Hearing this, Rin said she understood, and she would do everything a good older sister should do. She wouldn't let Sakura suffer any more pain; she wasn't stupid!

"Hmm, compared to your cruel father, a traditional magician, your character is better, more human. Shirou~"

David expressed his approval of Rin; he really liked this sunny and energetic girl, a young and adorable girl. However, he immediately turned his attention to Shirou, who was much more troublesome than Rin.

"Everyone will be staying at your house from now on~ Considering this will be a financial burden for you, here you go. You can sell them when you have the chance, or you can ask Rin to sell them for you. Consider it as everyone's food and lodging expenses, ah... I'll cover Muramasa and Rin's share."

With that, he reached into the dark space and took out nine gems of different colors but the same size, arranging them on the table. This scene completely stunned Shirou and Rin, especially Rin, who immediately stood up and pressed her face against the row of gems.

Muramasa whistled happily, unable to resist teasing Lord Camelot for being different; treasures that others could never obtain in a lifetime, he could casually produce with a flick of his wrist.

"Ah! No, no! This is too much. The food and lodging expenses can't possibly cover this much. How can someone just casually put such a row of gems in someone else's house!"

"Exactly! They're so rich, it's enviable and makes me jealous! And I never said I wanted to move into Emiya-kun's house! No way!"

This young couple is really... David Ann didn't even bother to comment. They haven't even lived together yet and they already have this level of compatibility? It's hard to imagine. Maybe this is just how young people are these days.

“Shirou, please accept it. Goai is not someone who cares about wealth; his integrity and incorruptibility are things you would never even imagine. All this wealth was accumulated by him alone during his thousand-year journey.”

Morgan finally spoke, and Rin couldn't hold back any longer. She couldn't help but ask who this beautiful woman was, and Morgan introduced herself.

"Huh? A Servant can run down from the Throne of Heroes on their own? Without relying on their Master, without relying on the magical power of anyone else? Just using their own magic spells?"

Rin's expression finally betrayed her true feelings. For a modern magician like her, Morgan's mastery of magic far exceeded their expectations. In other words, in Morgan's eyes, most modern magicians could be summed up in one word—noob.

"There is still some fate involved, after all, I was summoned. This troublesome woman has been entangled with me my whole life, and even gave birth to my child, so basically wherever I go, she follows. Before, it was just her voice, but now she has actually come down to earth. She even relies on me to supply her with magic, it's super troublesome, I can't even go out and flirt with other women... Ah!"

Davidian cried out in pain, and only then did Morgan and Artoria silently withdraw their hands that had pinched Davidian's back hard.

"Hahaha~ Shirou, don't be fooled by what David says. He's actually a very focused man. He only talks about flirting. No other woman can get involved in his life except for these two. Oh, except for his daughter."

Muramasa finished speaking with a hearty laugh, then began to drink his tea. However, he still felt uneasy afterward. Although he didn't usually enjoy drinking alcohol, he inexplicably felt that the tea just wasn't quite right...

David noticed his boredom, so he smiled, stood up, and retrieved a bucket from the darkness. He then opened the bucket in front of everyone, filling the entire living room with a strong aroma of alcohol.

"Ha~ I knew it, you were definitely hiding something! Hurry up and bring it out! I can't wait!"

Muramasa was overjoyed when he smelled the aroma and started slapping his thigh. He knew that Davidian must have been holding back. This wine was definitely not ordinary!

"This is the divine wine of Tescatlipoca, which ordinary people can't drink. I asked him for it before I left, so I have to drink it sparingly."
