"Summon heroic spirits?"

Tsuchimikado Fuyumi Himezuki was curious, so he gave her a brief explanation of Heroic Spirits and the Holy Grail War, mainly focusing on the Holy Grail War.

As for Heroic Spirits, Ji Yue already knew about them when she was in the Non-Human City.

"I see. They can even summon ancient heroes to fight. Magicians are quite amazing." Ji Yue nodded and said, "So, Fourth Brother, do you want to participate in this Holy Grail War?"

"Let's leave it to fate and see if the Holy Grail takes a liking to me," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

"Ah."

……

Soon, the banquet began. Tokiomi Tohsaka held a simple adoption ceremony and handed over a reluctant Sakura Tohsaka to a strangely-looking old man.

After the adoption ceremony, the next event was the high society banquet. However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others did not pay any attention to the banquet. Instead, they kept staring at the old bug, Matou Zouken, who was pulling a somewhat bewildered Tohsaka Sakura in the corner.

Fortunately, the other party wasn't in a particular hurry; instead, they sat quietly in a corner, waiting for the dinner to end.

Meanwhile, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others ate their snacks absentmindedly, and even when someone came to chat with them, Himezuki mostly brushed them off.

"Ji Yue, Erkoyasan and I will go rescue people later, and then deal with that old bug."

"You'll be in charge of recording the video. If Sakura doesn't want to come back, you'll have someone send the video to Tokiomi Tohsaka," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said.

“The magician hates modern things, so I’ll have someone bring a computer over for him to see,” Ji Yue nodded and said.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't know what Tohsaka Sakura was thinking. If she still wanted to come back, then after rescuing her, they could just send her home and show the video to Tohsaka Tokiomi on the spot.

If she no longer wants to come back and no longer wants to acknowledge Tokiomi Tohsaka, then Fuyutsu Tsuchimikado decides to acknowledge Sakura Tohsaka as his younger sister and let her take his surname.

Although he can't teach Sakura Tohsaka magic, he can ask Tohru and the others to teach her magic!

He still didn't believe that magic from another world could be inferior to those magic tricks.

……

After the banquet ended, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others quickly left the Tohsaka family and quietly followed the old insect.

Before long, they followed the old bug to a gloomy old castle.

With Ercoa's help, they evaded the barrier set up by Zouken Matou and, after creating a cognitive barrier, swaggered over to Zouken Matou and followed him to the castle's basement.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, where are we going?" Looking at the increasingly gloomy environment ahead, as if there was something particularly terrifying in front of her, Sakura asked, trembling slightly.

“Of course, it’s the place where you inherit the Matou family’s magic, Sakura. I will teach you well,” Zouken Matou said.

His hoarse, decaying voice did not reassure Sakura; instead, it instilled even greater fear in her. She asked timidly, "Master...Master, can I not go? Sakura doesn't want to inherit any magic."

Chapter 1029 The Old Bug's Doomsday (Part 1)

In the dimly lit corridor of the Matou residence, Sakura Tohsaka reluctantly followed Zouken Matou down to the basement.

Even though she was extremely unwilling, she gave in to Zouken Matou's cold gaze.

Zouken Matou wasn't angry at Sakura Tohsaka's resistance; he simply said indifferently, "Sakura, the Matou family doesn't need trash, and I doubt you want to know what happens to trash."

As she slowly walked to the top of the stairs, looking at the dimly lit staircase and hearing the rustling sounds coming from inside, Sakura Tohsaka's ominous premonition grew stronger, as if there was an abyss below, making her tremble with fear.

"cherry!"

Just as Sakura was hesitating whether to go down, she heard Zouken Matou shout angrily, which startled her. She shrank back and continued to walk down with trembling legs.

Looking at the pitiful and helpless Sakura from behind, Tsuchimikado Fuyu felt several times that he couldn't help but want to kill the old bug right now and save Sakura.

But in the end, he held back.

Because they prevented Sakura from seeing the truth and from capturing Zouken Matou's true face, even if they saved Sakura and returned her to the Tohsaka residence, Tokiomi Tohsaka would not only fail to express gratitude but would also believe that they had harmed Sakura.

Ultimately, Sakura will simply be adopted into another magician family, the outcome of which is uncertain—whether it will be good or bad.

In fact, if this world only consisted of magicians, according to Tokiomi Tohsaka's view, what he did was not wrong.

For Tokiomi Tohsaka, having two genius daughters was not a good thing, but a bad thing. If he could, he would rather one of them be an ordinary person.

But the reality is cruel. Sakura Tohsaka and Rin Tohsaka, one is an all-elemental being with five composite attributes, and the other is a fictional being with imaginary attributes. Both are absolute geniuses, or even prodigies.

But demonic tendencies attract demonic tendencies in return. Those who stand out from the crowd will inevitably attract similarly unusual experiences.

The Tohsaka family's magic crest can only be given to one person. The person who does not become the heir will be caught up in all sorts of strange events because of their own blood, and will eventually get themselves into trouble and die.

Even worse, if the Magic Association were to discover such an ordinary person, those guys would be happy to preserve her in formalin as a specimen under the guise of protection.

For this reason, the Matou family's desire to have Sakura as their adopted daughter was nothing short of a blessing from heaven for Tokiomi Tohsaka.

In this way, both daughters can inherit top-tier magical skills, free from the constraints of blood ties and karma, and lead fulfilling lives.

If Zouken Matou hadn't been lying to him!

Unfortunately, the old bug's magic trick wasn't water magic at all, but bug magic.

Completely unaware of this, Tokiomi Tohsaka is probably still secretly thrilled at home, feeling that there is finally hope for his daughter.

Even if he doesn't win this Holy Grail War, his two daughters can still join forces in the next Fifth Holy Grail War.

To be honest, if we follow the thought process of those eccentric magicians, Tokiomi Tohsaka not only didn't do anything wrong, but they would also think he valued family too much.

But in Tsuchimikado and the others' eyes, this guy was a complete idiot.

If you're going to adopt a daughter, fine, but to not even know what kind of family your daughter was adopted into, and then happily give her away based solely on one person's words, isn't that just plain stupid?

Although there's a rule that magicians can't pry into other people's secrets, it shouldn't be a problem for you to ask Matou Kariya a couple of questions!

Even though he's lusting after your wife (doge), at least he won't hurt Sakura.

……

Soon, they came out of the stairs and came to a platform. Looking at the stone holes on the surrounding walls that were as dense as beehives, and the floor below with strange marks, Sakura was at a loss for what to do.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, what are those?" Sakura asked fearfully.

"We've arrived." Zouken Matou didn't answer her question, but looked at Sakura with a strange expression and said, "Sakura, go down."

"Master...Master..." Sakura was about to say something when Zouken Matou interrupted her, "Get down!"

Hearing the other person's cold voice, Sakura backed down once again.

But what else could she do if she didn't back down? Escape? Where could she go?

Hit her? She's just a child, how could she possibly beat an adult?

Although she didn't know why Zouken Matou wanted her to go down, she still slowly walked down.

“Grandpa…” Sakura walked to the middle of the floor and stared blankly at Zouken Matou on it. Just as she was about to ask what to do next, a rustling sound came from all directions.

Sakura looked into the distance in fear and saw one disgusting worm after another crawling out of the surrounding stone caves.

"Sakura, this is the magic of the Matou family. Now you'd better accept my modifications."

"No...no!" Zouken Matou's chilling voice came from above, startling Sakura so much that she immediately tried to run up the stairs.

Unfortunately, the insects were faster than her, and soon her path was blocked by them, scaring her back.

Gradually, more and more insects appeared around her, and her living space became smaller and smaller. Sakura sat on the ground in fear, looking around blankly.

"Waaaaah~ I don't want bugs, I don't want to be modified, Daddy... Mommy... Sister... I want to go home!" Sakura's crying voice rang out, but Matou Zouken not only did not pity her, but the smile on his lips became more and more obvious, and he even couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Dad? Your dad has already given you to me. You're called Matou Sakura now, and you're an item of the Matou family!" Matou Zouken laughed wildly.

Sakura's sobs grew fainter amidst the old insect's laughter. Yes, she had already been sent away; she had been abandoned by the Tohsaka family.

Father, no, Tokiomi Tohsaka can't possibly come to save me.

A sense of despair welled up in Sakura's eyes, but as the insect drew ever closer, a sliver of hope, seemingly impossible, still lingered in her heart.

Whoever it is... please save me!

"Alright, Sakura, now you can slowly enjoy the process of being transformed." Looking at the insect that was almost crawling to Sakura's feet, the old insect's expression turned indifferent again, and he said calmly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash before his eyes, and then Sakura disappeared from below. Immediately afterwards, he heard a cold male voice in his ear, "Old bug, laughing happily, huh!"

Zouken Matou turned around and saw a man and two women behind him, while Sakura was being held in the arms of a woman who possessed a world-class treasure, looking completely bewildered.

Chapter 1030 The Old Insect's Doomsday (Part 2)

"It's okay, don't worry."

A gentle voice rang out. Sakura, who had been in despair, looked around blankly, feeling two slightly heavy objects above her head, and asked in a daze, "Is everything... alright now?"

"It's all alright now," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile as he crouched down to Sakura.

"Nothing? Hehehe... You two little brats from the Tsuchimikado family, do you want to start a war?" Zouken Matou sneered, "If you don't want to be punished by the Tsuchimikado family, then obediently hand over Sakura to me."

Upon hearing Zouken Matou's voice, Sakura was so frightened that she immediately buried her head in Ercoa's arms again, her body trembling slightly. The scene just now had clearly traumatized her.

"Heh, old bug, have I ever told you that you're disgusting?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu sneered, "Regardless of whether the Tsuchimikado family dares to punish me, I'm determined to save Sakura today."

"Then you can all die." Zouken Matou sneered, and immediately a swarm of insects flew towards Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others.

"Heh, not only is he disgusting in appearance, but his abilities are just as disgusting." Tsuchimikado Fuyu gave a contemptuous smile, and suddenly a woman holding a pipa appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Kinnara, please."

After Kinara appeared, looking at the dimly lit room, a feeling of loneliness and fear welled up in her heart. Fortunately, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others were there, so she didn't panic.

However, looking at Zouken Matou, who resembled a major villain, and the dense swarm of insects, Kinara frowned. Then, she plucked her biwa, and a bunch of golden bird notes flew out from the biwa's sound, killing one insect after another.

"How is this possible!" Looking at the swarms of dead insects, Zouken Matou exclaimed in surprise, "This absolutely cannot be a shikigami. A shikigami cannot be this strong!"

"Heh, that's just what you think," Tsuchimikado Fuyu sneered.

"Kid, although you are very strong, you still can't beat me. How about we make peace? As long as you hand over Sakura to me, I can let bygones be bygones."

"Old bug, can't you understand human language? I told you, I'm going to save Sakura."

"Since that's the case, this stalemate can't go on, so don't blame me for being impolite," Matou Zouken shouted.

"What are you yelling about? Didn't you see you scared Sakura?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu retorted mercilessly, "If you're so tough, come at me! What are you pretending for!"

"Hmph, you brat! You're asking for death!" As soon as Zouken Matou finished speaking, countless insects surged out from all directions, forming a swarm of insects that gave people a chilling feeling.

"Tsk, I was thinking of testing my abilities, but I guess I'll pass. These bugs are disgusting." Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at the bugs crawling all over the wall, rubbed his arms which were already covered in goosebumps, and said speechlessly.

"Heh, it's too late to admit defeat now."

"Screw you, Erkoya-san, please, I don't want to play anymore," Tsuchimikado Fuyu cursed, then said to Erkoya.

"No problem." Ercoya smiled and patted Sakura on the back, then picked her up and placed her in Tsuchimikado Fuyu's arms, saying, "I'm starting to dislike bugs too."
