As for what she's like when she's arrogant...

"Alright, the matter of summoning the Heroic Spirit has been resolved. There's nothing more for you to do now."

After confirming that she had formed a Servant contract with Qin Chuan, Reines turned to Waver beside her and said with a look of disdain.

She brought Waver along mainly because Waver was a participant in the last Holy Grail War, so he could help point out any mistakes she might have made when summoning Servants.

Now that the Heroic Spirit summoning is complete, Waver is naturally no longer of any use and can go back to work for the El-Melloi family to pay off their debts.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Weber sighed, having long since grown accustomed to being treated like a beast of burden by Reines.

As for Reines' safety...

Just kidding. If Reines still has problems with Qin Chuan by her side, then he really can't imagine what kind of existence the enemy Heroic Spirits are.

Chapter 467 72 彡淋.玖弃III 俬Tohsaka Mother and Daughter's Expectations

"Alright! The Command Seals have appeared!"

At the same time that Qin Chuan was summoned, in the Tohsaka family's living room, the now graceful Tohsaka Rin raised her hand, looking with satisfaction at the bright red mark on her right hand.

Strictly speaking, this is not an official Command Seal, but rather a "sign" mark given to Rin Tohsaka by the Holy Grail acknowledging her as a contestant, signifying that she has been successfully chosen.

The official Command Seals are only fully granted after a Heroic Spirit is summoned—the "Command Seals" currently appearing on Rin Tohsaka's hand are actually a reminder that she can begin preparing to summon a Heroic Spirit.

After all, the Tohsaka family is one of the three founding families of the Holy Grail War, so it's a foregone conclusion that they will qualify for the competition.

"Congratulations, Rin."

Beside her, Aoi Tohsaka smiled as she looked at the delighted Rin Tohsaka and offered her heartfelt congratulations.

The pain of Tokiomi Tohsaka's death has been alleviated thanks to Qin Chuan, and she has not experienced the attack by Kariya Matou as in the original work. Aoi Tohsaka is also in quite good condition at this time.

Unlike the original work, which depicted her suffering both mental and physical trauma and quickly going insane and dying, the current Aoi Tohsaka still appears quite beautiful and healthy.

Because she has been by Rin Tohsaka's side all these years, Aoi Tohsaka knows that Rin has been working hard to participate in the Holy Grail War all these years:

"Which Heroic Spirit is Rin going to summon next?"

Before Qin Chuan left this mission world, he used "Blackbird Lover" to control Rufreus, forcing him to help protect the Tohsaka family's property.

Therefore, with the help of the Mage's Association, the Tohsaka family's situation is much better than in the original work. At least Rin Tohsaka doesn't have to go out to work to earn money to buy materials for Jewel Magic.

That is why, if Rin Tohsaka needs it, she can obtain many special "relics" through the Mage's Association to summon Servants.

However, Rin Tohsaka has never tried to obtain any other "Holy Relics", so Aoi Tohsaka actually has some guesses about which Servant Rin wants to summon.

"Of course, it's to summon Berserker—or rather, to summon Qin Chuan!"

As expected, Rin Tohsaka gave the answer that was anticipated.

Since Rin Tohsaka was able to summon Qin Chuan without using any artifacts last time, she plans to summon him directly this time as well.

"So, they really want to summon Mr. Qin Chuan..."

Aoi Tohsaka nodded secretly, not surprised by the answer—but her face turned slightly red when she thought of Qin Chuan.

After Tokiomi Tohsaka's death, Aoi Tohsaka was emotionally unstable. By a twist of fate, she did something quite shameful with Qin Chuan in a self-destructive manner.

Although it was precisely because of that action that she quickly recovered from the grief of Tokiomi Tohsaka's death, she never dared to tell Rin Tohsaka about it.

Fortunately, Rin Tohsaka seemed to know that Qin Chuan had once "comforted" Aoi Tohsaka, helping her to stop being too saddened by Tokiomi Tohsaka's death, but she had no idea exactly how he had comforted her.

Therefore, when Aoi Tohsaka heard that Rin Tohsaka wanted to summon Qin Chuan, she actually had some different thoughts in her heart.

She's probably expecting something... but of course, I can't tell Rin Tohsaka about this.

……

"This is Fuyuki City ten years from now—so, Mr. Qin Chuan, what are your thoughts on seeing the battlefield where you once fought?"

From Mount Enzo in Fuyuki City, one can overlook the entire Fuyuki town—the Tohsaka residence and the Matou residence are both located in this area.

At this moment, Leni brought Qin Chuan to the mountain. Looking at the buildings below, she looked at Qin Chuan with an excited smile, seemingly anticipating his reaction.

However, Qin Chuan's reaction was clearly not what she expected; instead, he seemed quite indifferent.

"I don't have any particular feelings about it, after all, the last Holy Grail War ended quite quickly."

Qin Chuan shrugged. He hadn't been in Fuyuki City for very long, only a few days at most—and he only spent less than 8 hours there each day.

As for the so-called "ten years ago"... for the people of the Type-Moon world, the Fourth Holy Grail War was indeed ten years ago.

But for Qin Chuan, it was only a few weeks ago—others might miss Qin Chuan, but Qin Chuan didn't really miss him that much.

"You brought me here just so I could reminisce about the last Holy Grail War?"

"No, that's not it... Mr. Qin Chuan should have an ability similar to clairvoyance, right?"

Reines shook her head. She wasn't here for a vacation; she was here to win the Holy Grail War, so her actions were purposeful.

· ······.···· ········

Unlike Qin Chuan's previous Master, Rin Tohsaka, who was still a child and lacked the ability to make plans, Reines clearly already had her own plans in mind.

"From here, you can see the entire city of Fuyuki. Mr. Qin Chuan, can you see who the participants in this Holy Grail War are?"

The most important thing for participating in the Holy Grail War is intelligence.

If it were the former El-Melloi family, gathering intelligence would be a piece of cake—but now the El-Melloi family has declined, and there are very few people they can rely on.

In this situation, she could only place her hopes on Qin Chuan's "clairvoyance".

"...Where did you hear this rumor from?"

However, after hearing what Reines said, Qin Chuan couldn't help but give her a strange look.

.. ... ...

The "clairvoyance" in the Type-Moon universe is not simply about seeing far, but about having the ability to see through the past, present, and future.

Clearly, Qin Chuan does not have a similar ability—if one had to put it into words, he could probably predict the future to some extent by using the "Blackbird Requiem" to fix the outcome.

"Eh? No?"

Seeing that Qin Chuan didn't seem to be lying, Reines was taken aback, and then a look of anger appeared on her face.

Of course, she wasn't angry at Qin Chuan, but rather at Weber for daring to give her false information.

"That guy actually dared to lie to me!"

However, upon hearing Reines's complaints, Qin Chuan seemed to realize why Reines mistakenly believed that he had clairvoyance.

It's probably because Waver was able to easily gather information about various Masters and Servants during the last Holy Grail War that he mistakenly believed he possessed such a skill.

Then Waver told Reines about his situation, which gave Reines the illusion that she could predict information.

If the storyline still follows the original "Fate/Stay Night" manga, then Qin Chuan can indeed provide some information about the contestants based on his memories.

However, most of the people involved in the plot were killed by me in the last Holy Grail War, so that information is naturally meaningless.

Putting aside other things, Reines herself never appeared in the Fifth Holy Grail War in the original work.

Her appearance itself was a major change to the original plot.

Chapter 468 The Blue Lancer Who Was Slapped Away

Although the decline of the El-Melloi family has made it difficult for Reines to easily gather information on the participants in Fuyuki City this time, there are still a few targets that are easy to identify.

First, there's the Tohsaka family, the local power in Fuyuki City—because of Qin Chuan's interference, the Tohsaka family's situation is much better than in the original work, and Rin Tohsaka will undoubtedly participate in the Holy Grail War.

Secondly, there's the Einzbern family. Last time, the "magician killer" Emiya Kiritsugu, who was brought in from outside, was easily killed by Qin Chuan. The Einzbern family will definitely make a comeback.

The Matou family wasn't quite aware of the situation. Although the Matou residence had become a haven for insects due to Zouken Matou's death, it was eventually cleared away by the police and firefighters.

The Matou residence is still inhabited—by Matou Kariya's older brother, Matou Tsuruno, and his son, Matou Shinji. "263"

However, Matou Tsuruno and Matou Shinji have almost completely severed their paths in magic. Their magic circuits are so low that they are practically no different from ordinary people, so they probably won't have a chance to participate in the Holy Grail War.

In the original work, Tsuruno Matou should have died before the Fifth Holy Grail War, but he survived this time—it seems his original death was inextricably linked to Zouken Matou. (Part 2)

Now that Zouken Matou has been killed by Qin Chuan ahead of time, Tsuruno Matou, a character with almost no role in the original work, is also barely clinging to life.

Besides the three starter families, there was another contestant that Reines knew about: Ling.

"here it is?"(

Following Reines, they arrived at the gate of a large mansion on the outskirts of Fuyuki City's Fukayama-cho. Looking at this house, which seemed to have never appeared in the original work, Qin Chuan asked with some curiosity, "Five..."

"This is the residence of another contestant from the Magic Association."

Reines didn't hide anything and explained to Qin Chuan.

"The Mage's Association had two spots for this Holy Grail War; I got one, and the other went to Bazett of the McRaemez family."

As she spoke, Reines seemed to recall some anecdote, and couldn't help but chuckle, as if mocking some clueless fellow.

"Speaking of which, when I got this spot, a nouveau riche tried to buy it from me, but I refused."

Qin Chuan remained silent. He knew that the "nouveau riche" Reines was referring to was a man named Atram Gariasta.

This man is from the Middle East. His ancestors made a fortune drilling for oil. After joining the Mage's Association, he was seen as a nouveau riche and therefore wanted to prove himself through the Holy Grail War.

In the original work, this guy was the initial Master who summoned Caster Medea, but was betrayed and killed by Medea. Afterwards, Medea was taken advantage of by Souichirou Kuzuki, a teacher in Fuyuki City.

This time, Atram's spot in the competition was snatched away by Reines, so Medea probably won't be picked up by Souichirou Kuzuki... and she might not even be summoned.

The owner of this house, Bazett, was Lancer Cú Chulainn's initial Master in the original work, but later Kirei Kotomine cut off his hand and took control of Cú Chulainn.

Without Kirei Kotomine, Bazett has been given a second chance at life—at least Kirei Kotomine can't crawl out of hell and ambush her again.

……

Just as Qin Chuan was thinking about Bazett's experiences in the original work and following Reines toward the gate, a voice suddenly came from the sky:

"Hey, Miss, although you and my Master seem to know each other, I can't just let anyone with a Servant in without my Master's permission."

Qin Chuan and Reines looked up at the same time and saw a man holding a red spear and wearing a blue bodysuit staring straight at them.

He grinned, then leaped off the roof, pointing his spear straight at Qin Chuan and bringing it crashing down.

He didn't intend to kill Qin Chuan with that shot; it was simply a warning—after all, Reines seemed to know Bazett, and he didn't intend to kill him.

But upon seeing Cú Chulainn's sudden attack, Qin Chuan suddenly laughed.

Snapped!

Just as Cú Chulainn's spear tip was about to pierce Qin Chuan's arm, Qin Chuan slightly turned his body, avoiding the red spear that grazed past his arm.

Then, with a backhand slap, he struck Cú Chulainn on the head, sending him flying into the fountain in the courtyard, smashing the fountain's stone statue.

"puff……!"

Cú Chulainn, who had failed in his sneak attack and was instead slapped away, spat out a mouthful of blood—the force of that slap had almost smashed his face to pieces.

This power startled Cú Chulainn. He could tell that Qin Chuan's slap just now looked like swatting a mosquito, and he definitely hadn't used his full strength.

How could he slap himself like this without even using his full strength? What kind of superhuman strength is that? Is this guy some kind of Berserker?!

"You should be grateful for the fact that you have no abilities that I care about."

Qin Chuan looked at Cú Chulainn, whom he had slapped into the fountain, and chuckled softly.

"The Holy Grail War hasn't officially started yet, so there's no benefit in killing you prematurely. You'd better not come looking for trouble."

As a Lancer, Cú Chulainn's strength is still among the top tier of Heroic Spirits—but he doesn't really have any abilities that Qin Chuan would want to devour.

This guy's abilities were basically all focused on that spear, but the spear's power was probably not as great as Qin Chuan's spear formed from "qi".

“So strong…!”

Reines, standing to the side, also watched as Qin Chuan sent Cú Chulainn flying with a bang, her eyes shining.

Although Reines had heard Waver say how strong Qin Chuan was, it was only a rumor, and she had never actually seen Qin Chuan's strength in person.

Qin Chuan's performance this time undoubtedly satisfied her—he beat a Heroic Spirit like a dog with such ease, just as Waver had said.

This made Reines look at Qin Chuan with even more satisfaction and excitement.

"...Tsk."

Cú Chulainn, who was lying in the hot spring, glanced at Qin Chuan with difficulty, his body trembled, and then he forced himself to stand up, quickly jumped to the second-floor windowsill, and crawled inside.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Cú Chulainn had to admit that he was no match for Qin Chuan, and at this moment he could only avoid his sharp edge.

At the same time, he felt somewhat saddened for his Master—it seemed that with such an exceptional Servant appearing, the victor of this Holy Grail War was practically already predetermined.
