I'm really not a top magician

This morning, she tried various methods, but with her current magical abilities, she was completely unable to save Matou Kariya's life and remove the crested worm inside at the same time.

"I admit that it was my negligence that things have developed to this point."

Said Sajo Aika,

"I originally hoped to allow Matou Kariya to fight with more dignity, rather than relying solely on my charity, to win this battle. Because in my opinion, this is a battle that concerns his dignity. But now, I apologize for my previous decision."

Sajo Aika bowed and apologized to Matou Kariya who was standing beside her.

"Mr. Kariya, I was naive before, thinking you'd persevere. But now it seems that those words of mine were merely the result of self-pity from a powerful and superior being. After all, the pain isn't inflicted on me, but on you. I completely forgot about the torment you were going through."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kariya."

Sajo Aika apologized seriously and sincerely.

"That's not necessary, Ms. Sajo."

Matou Kariya's voice was a little hoarse, making people feel more like a seriously ill patient who was about to die.

"Even though you made this suggestion at the time, I still accepted it. Even now, if you asked me to return, I would accept your proposal. I am very grateful that you can consider my dignity."

Listening to what Matou Kariya said, Sajo Aika felt a little moved.

"Don't worry, I will never let you die, Mr. Kariya."

After summarizing what happened, Aika Sajo began to formulate tactics.

"If we want to save Matou Kariya's life, the only way is to eliminate Matou Zouken."

"Because the Crest Worm implanted in Matou Kariya's body was planted by Matou Zouken for surveillance and control."

"But no matter how powerful these crested bugs are, this is ultimately Zouken Matou's magic. After Zouken Matou is eliminated, even if these bugs remain, they won't cause any further damage to Matou Kariya. I'll have to trouble you with what happens next, Orange."

Said Sajo Aika.

"Wait a minute, Senior." Lisa suddenly interrupted, "Did you say orange? Could it be..."

"Yes, it's Aozaki Touko." Aika Sajo nodded.

When Lisa heard the name of Aozaki Touko, she was very excited.

Aozaki Touko became a crowned magician by restoring the lost runes, and her attainments in puppetry are also among the best in the world.

However, this crown magician was designated as [Seal Designated] by the Clock Tower several years ago, and had to wander around the world. But legend has it that no one has ever caught Aozaki Touko, and even if he was killed in front of them, there are also rumors that he is immortal.

In short, for this big man and senior in the field of puppets,

Lisa is very adoring.

"But what does Mr. Matou's treatment have to do with Aozaki Touko?" Lisa asked.

She felt that calling Aozaki Touko by her first name was a bit disrespectful, but since she was the Clock Tower's [Designated Seal], calling her too intimately would easily give her a handle. After much deliberation, she opted to call her by her full name.

"Because I need Orange to rebuild a new body for Matou Kariya."

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Sajo Aika explained,

"Matou Kariya's body has been shattered by the Crest Worms. Even if it were healed, its vitality would be dwindling. So I came up with a completely new method—to create a completely new, compatible body for Matou Kariya, and then transfer his soul into it."

"In the current world of magic, the only person who can create a body with the same performance as a human is Aozaki Touko."

Sajo Aika explained,

"As for soul transfer..."

Sajo Aika looked at Lisa beside her.

Everyone's eyes shifted over, which made the latter feel strange.

"Excuse me, is there something strange on my face?"

Lisa didn't seem to understand what everyone was saying, and she kept touching her face, as if she was really looking for something dirty. This behavior actually made Sajo Aika laugh.

"Lisa, stop touching me. This is you. Didn't you also learn something similar about soul transfer from Leon? Besides, your family also studies the soul, so this matter belongs to you."

Said Shatiao Aige.

Lisa wanted to refuse, but when she saw Matou Kariya bowing to thank her, Lisa suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time in all her years as a magician that she was recognized by someone other than her friends.

Suddenly, a feeling of being touched and having a sense of responsibility came over her, and Lisa vaguely agreed to this matter.

Chapter 260 I found you, Aika Sajo!

After dealing with Matou Kariya's treatment issue, Sajo Aika continued:

"Actually, this time, I'm dealing with Matou Zouken not just to heal Matou Kariya's body. I actually have another purpose."

"It's no secret that Zouken Matou's goal is to obtain the Holy Grail and achieve true immortality. To this end, he has committed many heinous acts. It can even be said that many of the events surrounding the Fuyuki Holy Grail War were influenced by Zouken Matou."

"And two days from now, we will officially have our final battle with Rider and Archer. This battle is crucial to whether or not we can end the Holy Grail War. I think that old man, knowing my purpose, will have two choices."

"The first option is to give up the Holy Grail War and pin our hopes on the next one. However, Sakura, who was supposed to be a very suitable candidate, has now been taken away by us. Therefore, it is very likely that Matou Zouken will conflict with us because of this."

"The second option is that after considering the first possibility, Matou Zouken should also have come to the conclusion that he is no match for us. So, whether it's to recapture Sakura, continue this Holy Grail War, or seize the Holy Grail, his only option is a sneak attack!"

"As long as he launches a sneak attack on me during the decisive battle two days later, he still has a chance of winning. And your desire for immortality might also lead to something like this."

Sajo Aika explained to everyone.

"So, another purpose of this plan is to stabilize the rear, right?"

Dr. Roman's voice came from the communicator.

"Yes."

Sajo Aika nodded. "Since Rider has granted us a two-day truce, we must make good use of it. Taking this opportunity to eliminate Matou Zouken, the biggest disadvantage, will be the most beneficial thing."

Listening to Sajo Aika's explanation, Roman felt as if his brain wasn't enough.

It's simple common sense, but in the song "Sajo Ai Singer", it can exert amazing power.

I was a magic king in my past life, but how could I compare to the Sajo Aika in front of me?

The difference in IQ seems a bit too great.

"Haha, maybe this is the difference in talent."

Behind Dr. Roman came Da Vinci's mocking voice.

"Only an idiot like you would be fooled by 'Merry'!"

Before Da Vinci could finish his words, he was drowned out by his own laughter.

"But, we also tried to kill Matou Zouken last time, but that old guy was too difficult to kill."

Lisa sighed.

The body is hosted in a worm, and then it uses a parasitic method to take over the body of another person.

Although this is also a way to achieve eternal life,

But this method is too ugly, so even Lisa, who is immortal, cannot accept it.

"As for this, all I can say is to set up as many barriers as possible around him to prevent his bugs from escaping."

Sajo Aika said, "Ever since I injured Zouken Matou last time, I've been asking Artoria to find opportunities to secretly monitor him. I've discovered that he's been trying to turn his body around recently. Artoria, I heard you say before that Zouken Matou turned around today, right?"

C nodded, "Yes, today is the day he turns around, but I've got his current location under surveillance and I can rush over right now."

When everyone was about to get up and get rid of this old guy, they were stopped by Sajo Aika.

"Everyone, don't worry. We absolutely have to deal with Matou Zouken today, but we shouldn't be the one to do it."

Everyone felt strange about what Aika Sajo said.

"Who should it be given to?" Lisa asked.

"of course...."

at the same time,

Tosaka Residence,

Perhaps because it was after the beginning of winter, night came very early. It was only 6 o'clock in the afternoon, but Fuyuki City was already shrouded in darkness.

It was also because of the various unexpected events reported in the news recently, such as the gas explosion in the hotel, the crazy killer, the monster in Miyuan River...

Although these recent strange phenomena have not disturbed the lives of the residents of Fuyuki City, people still feel an eerie atmosphere in the recent atmosphere.

This feeling, coupled with the notices in the news, makes most people afraid to go out at night.

But at this moment, in the brightly lit Tosaka family villa,

But it is very lively.

"Kirei, are you sure you've found Sajo Aika's base?" Tōsaka Tokiomi asked.

Kotomine Kirei, Tōsaka Tokiomi's disciple, nodded, his face showing no surprise at such an astonishing discovery.

In this Holy Grail War, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt the reliability of this disciple.

"Just the day before the King's Banquet, Assassin discovered a strange magical fluctuation."

Kotomine Kirei took out a map of Fuyuki City and pointed at it.

"In order to find Sajo Aika's whereabouts, I previously dispatched extra assassins to search for her in more remote areas of Fuyuki City."

"However, in a small town near the forest of Fuyuki City, Assassin suddenly sensed a strange magical fluctuation."

"Although the strange magical fluctuations had completely disappeared when Assassin went to investigate, at some point, Assassin discovered that Sajo Aika appeared nearby."

Tōsaka Tokiomi glanced at the approximate location marked on the map.

Kotomine Kirei continued to explain, "After confirming the existence of a small town there, I speculated based on this information that Sajo Aika's base should be there."

"But to confirm my theory, I collected all the information Assassin could gather about Sajo Aika's movements that night."

"I've noticed that Sajo Aika is very keen on going to the large shopping streets in the city center. Although I'm not entirely sure, I believe that Sajo Aika does this for the same reason as Kenneth El-Melloi. Sajo Aika herself is also participating in the Holy Grail War with a tourist mentality, which is why she frequents the commercial streets in the center of Fuyuki."

“After I connected all the routes of these commercial streets, I found a route map.”

Kotomine Kirei used a marker to circle several places on the map and then connected them together.

Looking at the simple route map here, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was sitting beside him, suddenly stood up.

"This looks like a bus route map." Tōsaka Tokiomi felt familiar.

"This is it."

Kotomine Kirei nodded. "Then, after I reverse-checked the route map, I discovered that the starting point of this bus route is right where the magic fluctuation appeared."

Chapter 261: Tōsaka Tokiomi Attacks!

After hearing Kotomine Kirei's report,

Even Tōsaka Tokiomi was very pleased.

This disciple is truly exceptional. This Holy Grail War has only progressed to this point thanks to his help.

Now, even the location of the most troublesome person, Aigo Shatiao, has been found by him, a disciple.

"I'm sorry, teacher. Even so, I've only found the approximate location. I haven't had time to determine the more precise location yet."

Kotomine Kirei said.

"It's okay, Kirei. You've already been a great help."

Tōsaka Tokiomi said, "Next, it will be up to me, the magician, to personally take action!"

After making the decision, Tōsaka Tokiomi put away the map on the table.

Then he personally sorted out all the gems on his body. These gems were prepared by Tōsaka Tokiomi for the Holy Grail War.

The most powerful ones are even comparable to B-rank Noble Phantasms.

"But teacher, wouldn't it be a bad idea to act rashly like this? After all, we don't have the ability to fight Sajo Aika head-on."

Kotomine Kirei showed a fearful expression on his face, "Besides, I don't think Sajo Aika's base will be broken into so easily."

"You're mistaken, Kirei."

Tōsaka Tokiomi said, "Like Sajo Aika and Kenneth El-Melloi, these magicians from the Clock Tower have always believed that magic from the Far East is weak. This is why the Holy Grail War was held here, to avoid the Clock Tower's sight."

"Sajo Aika and her teacher's purpose for participating in the Holy Grail War is the same: simply a vacation or a trip. Or, in other words, to prove their already excellent combat abilities. So it's understandable that Sajo Aika is taking it lightly."
