People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

For a moment, Weber felt that breathing was gradually becoming difficult. This was something he had always dreamed of, but now that he had finally achieved it, it became so heavy that he didn't know how to make a choice.

"Similarly, this is the final homework I leave for you."

"Teacher, I..."

Under Kenneth's scolding, Weber unconsciously stretched out his hand and took the precious seal known as a treasure.

After doing all this, Kenneth seemed to have no obsession anymore. Then, under the moonlight, he really rode the bicycle pushed by Weber and prepared to head towards Fuyuki City.

Weber smiled wryly as he watched Kenneth prepare to leave under the moonlight. He knew he might never return, but he still went, maintaining the pride of a noble and the responsibility of a teacher from beginning to end. He wanted to speak out to stop him, but no sound came out.

because……

boom!

His teacher had fallen to the ground.

Before Kenneth could even move, he was dragged down by Aozaki Touko, and then he was hit with a knife and knocked unconscious before he could say a word, and then he was dragged on the ground.

"Okay, have you two finished what you need to say? If you've had enough of this touching farewell between teacher and student, then come back with me."

After watching the sad drama of the teacher and student parting for such a long time, Aozaki Touko directly brought back Kenneth who was about to sail away at the last moment of separation, and also thoughtfully provided him with a good night's sleep.

Although she didn't care much about the life or death of this lemon-headed man because she had no friendship with him, Luo Wei had specifically instructed him before that after taking Kenneth away from Fuyuki City, he must not let him come back no matter what. Even if he couldn't send him back to the UK, he had to be trapped somewhere else, even if it meant using violence.

So Aozaki Touko didn't even bother talking to this guy. She just knocked him out, tied him up and took him away. As for this kid...

Then she carried Kenneth on one hand, turned her head and squinted her eyes to look at Weber beside her, with a kind smile on her face.

"Does this little magician want to come with me on his own initiative? Or does he want me to knock him out and take him away?"

"I'll go with you!!"

Seeing what happened to Kenneth, Weber, who knew how to adapt to the times, decisively raised his hands and chose to leave with Aozaki Touko.

"Okay, in that case, let's take Sakura with us to my safe house first..."

Seeing Weber's cooperation, Aozaki Touko's originally furrowed brow relaxed slightly.

However, when she looked back, she found that Sakura, who had been following her, had disappeared without her noticing, which made her eyes widen suddenly.

"Huh? Sakura? Where's a kid my age? Where did you go?!"

……

……

At this moment, in a small alley somewhere in Guanbuzi City.

A young and lovely little girl came here under some special guidance.

A few minutes ago, Sakura, who was placed by Aozaki Touko about ten meters away from her, was stunned as if she had discovered something, and then she got separated from Touko in a trance.

"--elder sister!"

Sakura, who was alone, was a little scared. She held tightly in her hands the small brand-name bag that Scathach had bought for her when she took her shopping. The bag was filled with many snacks that Orange had bought for her on the way.

But soon, a somewhat strange figure in the shadows of the alley caught Sakura's attention.

In a moisturizing corner, leaning against a moldy wall, a homeless old man wearing a hood was sitting there.

With a thick white beard and only a thin and tattered black robe on his body, he looked pitiful. His lonely figure blended perfectly with the surrounding darkness, like an abandoned statue, which could only stay in the alley and wait quietly for decay.

If you don't stop and observe carefully, it's hard to even detect his existence. This feeling can be said to be extremely weird.

And weirdness attracts weirdness, and Sakura Tohsaka, who has an imaginary physique, is undoubtedly the so-called weirdness.

Seeing the old man remain silent, the girl named Sakura tiptoed towards him quietly.

"Ok?"

Feeling the breath approaching, the old man slowly opened his cloudy eyes and made a sound, but he saw a little girl about six or seven years old suddenly appeared in front of him, so he asked kindly: "What's wrong, little girl?"

"Well, that... I got lost with my big sister, so I found myself here." Sakura said nervously. She looked at the old man's thin body and his still tattered robes, thought carefully, then took out a few sparkling colored gems from her bag and handed them to the old man: "Grandpa, this is for you."

These gems were given to her by Uncle Kenneth, who called himself a master. Although Sakura didn't know how to use these beautiful stones, she saw that big sister Scathach had exchanged these shiny gems for a lot of money, and she believed that these things would definitely help the old man.

As the old man opened his eyes, the darkness in the entire alley surged violently at this moment. The endless shadows around him continued to twist, forming a deep valley like the other side of the river, completely isolating it from the outside world. Even though Aozaki Touko was less than a few dozen meters away from Sakura at this moment, she still could not notice it.

"Are these... gems?"

The old man stretched out his old hand, gently took the gem from the small hand, and then asked curiously, "Why are you giving it to me?"

"Because... Grandpa looks like he needs this more. By the way, Sakura has some candy that you can give to Grandpa too."

As if these things were not enough, Sakura rummaged through her pockets again, and then found a piece of leftover candy, and handed it to the old man in front of her along with the colorful gems.

"Candy and gems... I don't know their true value, but after meeting me, did you make the rational judgment I needed more? Whether it's gems that can be exchanged for money or candy that can fill your stomach, treat them all equally and give them all the kindness you have..."

The old man raised his eyebrows, then took another look at the little girl in front of him whose fate had changed drastically, and asked, "Little girl, have you lost your family?"

"Well, Sakura can't find Sister Orange."

Sakura nodded and looked out at the dark surroundings with a frightened expression.

"In that case, stay by Grandpa's side for a while. While your family is looking for you, keep me company and talk to me so you don't get scared alone."

The old man did not accept the gems that symbolized money, but he did not reject this beautiful kindness. He stretched out his fingers, gently picked up the colorful candy and put it into his mouth.

Candy is sweet...

And this kindness made him feel good.

So he stretched out his hand and patted Sakura's head gently a few times. Realizing that the environment was too dark and there was no place to stand, he simply tore off a piece of his robe and handed it to Sakura, letting her use it as a cushion and lean against him.

Sakura did not dislike the slovenly old man. She took his robe and sat down beside him obediently. Then the fear in her heart seemed to be replaced by a sense of security.

It was as if she knew in her heart that as long as this old man was by her side, she would not encounter any danger.

"Grandpa feels so warm. Sakura is suddenly not afraid anymore."

She said happily.

"Haha, it's good that you're not afraid. I just quietly killed the fear that was entrenched in your heart, so you should feel better now, right?" The old man smiled and continued to ask Xiaoying, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"Sakura, Tohsaka Sakura... No, my father said I'm no longer called Tohsaka Sakura. I should have the same last name as my older brother, whose last name seems to be Crowley. So... should I be called Sakura Crowley? Hmm, that name sounds so strange." Sakura thought carefully for a moment before answering. Because the fear in her heart had been killed by the old man, her mood had returned to her usual cheerfulness. "What about grandpa? What should I call him?"

"My name... well, it seems I have quite a few names. Since you are in the Far East, you can just call me Yan Mo."

The old man thought about it and finally said a name that was obviously a little strange.

"Yanma? Is it King Yanma? Hmm, what a strange name..."

Sakura tilted her head curiously, then continued to ask, "Is the old man a god?"

"Well, I'm not a god, just a lonely old man living in a deep valley. My name is just a nickname to me. If Sakura wants, you can just call me grandpa."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Sakura had a bright smile on her face.

"Um, Grandpa, are you a foreigner? Your clothes are so strange... Sakura feels like she's from another era."

"Foreigners, and time travelers... there's nothing wrong with calling them that. I was simply summoned by this world to investigate what exactly is happening in this world line. And to confirm whether the Death Blade in my hand is necessary to resolve the situation before it becomes completely uncontrollable, I've just left Fuyuki City."

The old man who called himself Yan Mo smiled and seemed to be in a good mood. "Now it seems that some changes are good. It seems that there is no need for me to take action myself."

"Eh? Grandpa is from Fuyuki City too? So is Sakura."

Hearing that the old man also came from Fuyuki City, Sakura's eyes suddenly became excited, "Grandpa, do you know what happened in Fuyuki City? Big brother said that he has something important to do. Fuyuki City will become very dangerous during this period, so he asked me, Sister Orange, and Uncle Lemonhead to leave there and not come back."

"..."

After hearing what Xiaoying said, the old man slowly stood up, and his originally cloudy eyes became clearer at this moment.

"Crowley... he's an interesting young man. Don't worry, I confirmed not long ago that he hasn't caused any substantial damage to the world. So Sakura, don't worry, his final bell hasn't rung yet."

"Grandpa's words are so hard to understand, but... does he mean that big brother is safe now?" Sakura blinked.

"Is it safe..."

Hearing this, the old man touched his chin and thought seriously for a moment, and then gave an answer.

"Well, although I can't see the thread of his fate, the current situation doesn't seem to be beyond his control, so Sakura can rest assured."

After patting Xiaoying's head, the old man looked to the distance and reminded her, "It seems your family has come here."

"Really?" Sakura turned her head in surprise after hearing the old man's words, only to see an anxious Aozaki Touko coming over with Weber, who was responsible for resisting Kenneth, following him. "I'm here, Sister Touko!"

"Sakura!"

Hearing Sakura's voice, Aozaki Touko ran over quickly, picked her up, and asked anxiously.

"Are you okay? Sakura, why did you come here alone? Are you hurt?"

"Well, don't worry, Sakura is fine. Not only that, I also met a very warm old man here. With him by her side, Sakura is not afraid at all."

"Hey, goodbye, grandpa..." Ying smiled, then turned her head to wave goodbye to the old man she had just met who claimed to be a visitor from the valley.

"……Eh?!"

However, at this moment, the old man who called himself Yan Mo had long disappeared, as if he had never appeared, leaving behind only a tattered robe given to Sakura as a trace of his visit.

"Hmm, what a strange grandpa..."

Sakura carefully put away the scraps of robe the old man had given him, then scratched her head.

"He disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye... Just like the real Lord Enma."

Chapter 87 You are a lost lamb

【——Everything in this world is designed to wipe you out.】

……

……

It's all coming to an end.

Well……

Has this final moment arrived in the blink of an eye?

Yes, most of the heroic spirits have already left the stage.

Even Fuyuki City was on the verge of collapse because of the last night of revelry by these heroic spirits.

At this moment, the entire city is like a small boat in the midst of strong winds and huge waves, and there is the risk of being swept into the waves and completely shattered at any time.

The so-called mysterious concealment rules, the strict rules that the mysterious world does not allow to interfere with the real world and cause the secrets to be leaked, had already been completely trampled underfoot during this most crazy night.

Currently, the overseer of the Holy Grail War, Kotomine Ri, lies in a coma in the hospital, gravely wounded. The Matou clan, a mage family, has been decimated by the death of Matou Zouken, and even Tōsaka Tokiomi himself has perished. Fuyuki City and its surroundings have been reduced to a gray area, deprived of the protection of both the mage families and the church, and can only watch helplessly as it descends into war and panic.

Even though the police in Fuyuki City had immediately dispatched the largest personnel and police force to evacuate the people, and also sent elite members with high-tech modern weapons to the center of the battlefield to investigate the situation, they tried to stop the terrifying figures in the direction of Ryudo Temple, who looked like the reincarnation of the gods, from ending this unprecedented catastrophe.

However, after seeing the first group of brave, strong and unyielding police officers being annihilated by the falling treasures and the collapse of illusions before they even got close to the battlefield, no one dared to approach that direction anymore.

Because they realized that it would be just a waste of life.

Even sacrificing their lives and courage would be a waste. He couldn't even see the golden waves hanging in the sky, let alone witness a single glimpse of this mythical battle. All they could do was retreat to safety, watching helplessly as the golden waves in the sky continued to roll and wreak havoc on their homes. They witnessed the natural disaster spread from that area, sweeping across the land, destroying every building in its path and reaping every life.

That night, the entire city of Fuyuki trembled incessantly because of this mythical battle unknown to anyone except the participants, and once again experienced the fear that humans in the Age of Gods had once experienced when they were dominated by gods.

Some devout believers even regard it as God's punishment on mankind and a sign of the end of the world.

They cried and kowtowed towards the sky of Liudong Temple, trying to dispel the wrath of the gods.

However, the gods responded to them with a golden wave that continued to expand until it completely dyed the night sky into a golden dawn.

……

……

Emiya Kiritsugu.

There is no doubt that this is a very legendary figure.

If someone were to ask Kotomine Kirei who his biggest imaginary enemy is in this Holy Grail War, the answer would undoubtedly be the intriguing figure the King of Heroes has spoken of, the magus he's never actually met, Rowe Crowley. The Servant he summoned is Scathach, the Undead Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows. While summoning Caster, one of the weakest classes, he can leverage his Age of Gods magecraft to transform into Lancer, a character more suited to frontal combat. He demonstrated unparalleled strength during the Holy Grail War, making him undoubtedly Gilgamesh's foremost enemy.

However, compared to this imaginary enemy who he must defeat if he wants to compete for the Holy Grail, what Kotomine Kirei cares more about is still the strange man named Emiya Kiritsugu.

In his opinion, this man's life was full of contradictions.

It's even more difficult to understand what he's truly pursuing. The effort and reward for everything he does are completely disproportionate, and his motives are deeply ambiguous. If someone who doesn't truly understand him and has a shallow understanding were to judge him, they'd likely simply dismiss him as a mercenary driven by money.
