Crossover Anime: Saiyans Starting from Dreams

Chapter 473 Reines, somewhat frightened

When Qin Chuan returned to the base, he found that Reines had already returned.

She was reclining on the sofa, having her "maid" Trimmau, made of "Moon Spirit Essence Liquid," massage her feet.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself."

After Qin Chuan entered the living room, he teased Reines, who was lying on the sofa—you should know that Qin Chuan usually didn't let Thor massage his feet at home.

"Trimmau's actions consumed my magic power. In essence, I'm using my own magic power to massage myself. Is there a problem with that?"

Reines offered a reasonable explanation—although Trimmau possesses artificial intelligence, it is essentially still a Mystic Code called "Moon Spirit Fluid".

Since it's a Mystic Code, it naturally requires magical energy to operate, so even when Trimmau massages Reines's feet, it's actually Reines's magical energy that's being consumed.

"280"

Reines's own magical power wasn't strong enough to support Trimmau in any strenuous activity anyway, so what's wrong with massaging her feet to relax?

"There's nothing wrong. You should relax now."

Qin Chuan didn't mind, since it wasn't him who was going to massage Reines's feet—although he didn't mind touching the beautiful girl's body either.

"After all, you probably won't have much time to relax from now on."

"……What's the meaning?"

Reines was comfortably lying on the sofa, letting Trimmau massage her to relieve the soreness from her earlier investigation.

But upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Reines immediately tensed up, sprang up from the sofa, and looked at Qin Chuan.

"Could something have happened with the three main families?"

"More or less—since you learned about the previous Holy Grail War from Waver, you should also know who my previous Master was, right?"

Qin Chuan smiled and looked at Reines, asking, "Qi..."

"Mr. Qin Chuan's previous Master... I remember it was Rin Tohsaka, the eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family, right?" Dad

Reines thought for a moment and gave the correct answer—it seems she's learned quite a bit about herself from Webber. 8.

Although he didn't know why Reines seemed so interested in him, Qin Chuan didn't pay much attention and simply nodded, saying: Zero.

"When I went to investigate just now, I met Rin... she's also preparing to participate in this Holy Grail War."

"Huh? She clearly knew that Mr. Qin Chuan was someone else's Servant, yet she still dared to participate in the Holy Grail War?" V

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Reines showed a surprised expression—as Qin Chuan's new Master, Reines knew very well how powerful he was.

Masters inherently possess the ability to perceive the data on a Servant's stats; Reines is an example of this, and Rin Tohsaka should be as well.

Since Rin Tohsaka is well aware that Qin Chuan has an overwhelming advantage over other Servants, why did she still dare to participate in the Holy Grail War? Wasn't she afraid of being utterly defeated by Qin Chuan?

However, Reines's doubts quickly turned into horror. She shuddered and looked at Qin Chuan.

"Wait! You mean Rin Tohsaka is targeting me!?"

Since Servants cannot be defeated head-on, the solution is to defeat the Master – this is also a common tactic in the Holy Grail War.

Since Rin Tohsaka dared to participate in the Holy Grail War knowing that her opponent was Qin Chuan, it's highly likely that she intends to target Reines.

That's why Qin Chuan said earlier, "There's not much time to relax anymore," since Reines is probably going to be targeted by Rin Tohsaka next.

Despite the apparent disparity in strength between the Tohsaka and El-Melloi families, this is Fuyuki City, and the Tohsaka family is the local power.

How could the El-Melloi family, which was already somewhat declining, compare to the Tohsaka family in Fuyuki City?

"That's pretty much it."

Seeing Reines's tense expression, Qin Chuan smiled and threw out an even more important piece of information to her.

"Also, I went to Einzbern to check on things..."

Immediately afterwards, Qin Chuan told Reines what he had just discovered in Einzbern, which made Reines' expression even more distressed.

The Einzbern family is no small family; their magical artificial human technology is quite famous throughout the magician's circle.

Such a large family was wiped out, and the Magic Association didn't even get a whisper of it, which shows how fast the perpetrators were.

According to Qin Chuan, that heroic spirit should have already come to Fuyuki City with Illya, and is lurking somewhere...

Thinking about it this way, Reines felt even more horrified.

"But don't worry, with Avalon inside you, you shouldn't die under normal circumstances..."

Seeing that Reines seemed a little worried, Qin Chuan smiled and reached out to pat her head.

"If you're still not comfortable with this... try it."

As he spoke, Qin Chuan used his "Give" ability to bestow the maid outfit substitute upon Reines.

The next moment, Reines felt her body lighten, and she quickly looked down at her attire. She blushed and glared at Qin Chuan with a hint of annoyance:

"What are these clothes?!"

As someone who molded "Moon Spirit Essence Liquid" into a maid, she certainly knew what the maid outfit she was wearing meant.

She's clearly the Master, so why is Qin Chuan dressing her up in a maid outfit?

"You can think of this simply as some kind of magic weapon."

Qin Chuan looked at Reines, who was staring at him with a blushing face, and explained.

"This outfit can improve your stamina and physical fitness... You should have felt it too, right?"

“…It seems to be the case.”

Reines fell silent for a moment upon hearing this. Although she was shy, she did feel that her physical abilities had improved a lot, and even her magical power seemed to have been amplified to some extent.

While it might not be enough to elevate her to the point where she could fight on par with a Heroic Spirit in one go, escaping should be no problem.

"But I'm still very shy!"

Although her face was still flushed with embarrassment, Reines did not actually refuse the maid outfit anymore.

In any case, she gained a new sense of security from Qin Chuan... although the source of this sense of security was a bit awkward.

Wearing this maid outfit, Reines felt as if her master and servant relationship with Qin Chuan had been reversed, and she had a strange sense of excitement... even though she was the one who should be in control!

In fact, behind the scenes that Reines couldn't see, Qin Chuan also provided a stand-in.

That is Qin Chuan's "Blackbird Black Sabbath," which will be hidden in Reines's shadow.

If Reines were to truly encounter mortal danger, even with the added advantage of her maid outfit as a Stand, she would not escape. In that case, "Blackbird Black Sabbath" would drag Reines into the shadows and hide her away.

Unless the opponent can also penetrate deep into the shadows, they cannot harm Reines.

Chapter 474 The Matou Family's Ruthless Work

"The Holy Grail War is about to begin... According to the pattern, we should be at the stage of selecting the members by now."

In the Matou residence, Shinji Matou stood in his room, looking at his father, Tsuruno Matou, who was sitting in the study chair, and said in a somewhat displeased tone.

Although their "grandfather" Zouken Matou died in an accident ten years ago, causing the insects in the Matou mansion to go completely rampage and be completely taken over by the insects.

But precisely because they lost Zouken Matou's control, these insects were left with only instincts, making them no different from ordinary insects when it came to eliminating them.

With the help of the police and firefighters, the insects in the Matou residence were almost completely wiped out, and the Matou residence was returned to the Matou family.

However, Matou Sakura had already been taken away by Qin Chuan, so in the end, only Matou Tsuruno and Matou Shinji remained living in the Matou residence.

Shinji Matou was proud of being born into a family of magicians from a young age, but on the other hand, he had almost no talent for magic, which made him feel very inferior.

In particular, there was Rin Tohsaka, whom he admired at school. She and the Matou family were the three founding families in the Holy Grail War, but Rin Tohsaka was clearly the type with outstanding magical talent.

This made Shinji Matou feel even more inferior in front of Rin Tohsaka, and his strong sense of inferiority made him want to participate in the Holy Grail War to prove himself.

But... with almost no magical talent, he had no chance of being chosen by the Holy Grail, not even his own father, Matou Tsuruno.

"Probably... but that's none of our business anymore, Shinji."

Matou Tsuruno's voice sounded tired—while he wasn't completely lacking in magical talent, he was only slightly better than Matou Shinji.

He was not even as good as his deceased younger brother, Matou Kariya.

Therefore, he has now almost abandoned the Matou family as a backup plan for a magic family and has turned to business—at least to keep the Matou family afloat.

But his son, Shinji Matou, clearly didn't think so.

Upon hearing Matou Tsuruno's almost resigned voice, Matou Shinji's expression suddenly turned somewhat crazed.

He seemed to have anticipated Matou Tsuruno's answer, so almost without hesitation, he pulled something out from behind his back:

"No, Father! We still have a chance! The Matou family's magic has not been lost!"

Matou Tsuruno paused, looked up at the things in Matou Shin's hands, and then his expression changed.

Shinji Matou was holding a huge glass jar, which looked about the size of a kimchi jar.

But more importantly, inside this glass jar, a large number of Imprinting Worms were being cultivated—the Imprinting Worms were wriggling inside the jar, which looked quite disgusting.

"Shinji! Where did you get this!?"

Matou Tsuruno's voice almost turned into a scream as she looked at what Matou Shinji had pulled out with disbelief.

He had never heard that his son was secretly breeding Imprint Bugs—shouldn't these bugs have been wiped out by the police and firefighters ten years ago?

I heard that in the end, the church helped clean up the mess, preventing the incident from causing too much of a commotion.

After all, Zouken Matou's death was clearly related to Heroic Spirits. Since it was related to the Holy Grail War, the Church would help cover it up.

However, Matou Tsuruno did not expect that there seemed to be some who had escaped the net back then, and those missed insects were actually cultivated by Matou Shinji.

Although Shinji Matou's magical talent isn't great, he seems to have an unexpected talent for nurturing.

"I found these remaining insects in the basement a few years ago... I've read the Matou family's magic book, and these are called Crest Insects."

Shinji Matou's expression was crazed; he seemed to have been driven to the brink of madness.

The pride of being from a magic family and the inferiority complex of lacking magical talent have been conflicting thoughts in Shinji Matou's mind for years, making him extremely obsessive.

In the original work, Sakura Matou served as the "perfect child" to share his attention, but now that Sakura is gone, Shinji Matou has clearly gone down a much more insane path:

"These Crest Worms can be implanted into the body to replace magic circuits... As long as I use this, I can qualify to participate in the Holy Grail War!"

"Are you crazy, Shinji!? It's true that replacing magic circuits with Crest Worms is feasible, but that would mean having the Crest Worms devour your body to generate magic power!"

Matou Tsuruno slammed his hand on the table, stood up angrily, stared intently at Matou Shinji, and sternly refused.

Although Matou Tsuruno didn't have much talent for magic, he had read magic books and knew the function of the Crest Worms.

Ten years ago, Kariya Matou was implanted with a Crest Worm, which replaced all his magical circuits, causing him to become practically dead within just a few days.

He certainly didn't want his son to turn out like that.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we get the Holy Grail... It's an all-powerful wish-granting machine. Once we get the Holy Grail, everything will be solved."

At this moment, Matou Shinji was no longer listening to Matou Tsuruno's words. His eyes were bloodshot, and he placed all his hopes on the Holy Grail.

Once we win the Holy Grail War, Rin Tohsaka definitely won't dare to underestimate me...

If Qin Chuan were here, he would definitely tell Matou Shinji earnestly that being a simp never ends well.

In the previous Holy Grail War, Matou Kariya, the sycophant of the Matou family, met a very tragic end, both in the original work and in the mission world.

Whether it's Aoi Tohsaka, Rin Tohsaka, or Sakura Matou, if they weren't deliberately mentioned, they probably wouldn't even remember Kariya Matou's existence.

……

"So, you didn't find out anything when you went out on this trip, 280?"

Qin Chuan looked at Reines, dressed in a maid outfit, having her back pressed down by another maid, Mercury Maid, dressed in a maid outfit, and said with some amusement.

So it turns out Reines came away empty-handed.

However, Qin Chuan could understand it. Fuyuki City was actually quite large, and it was even divided into two areas: Fukayama-cho and Shinto.

It's unrealistic for Reines to find other contestants so quickly.

"There's nothing I can do. I've already used special methods to find magicians... but there are fewer magicians in Fuyuki City than I expected."

Reines sighed helplessly, then looked at Qin Chuan.

Perhaps it was because she had gradually become familiar with Qin Chuan, and the fact that Qin Chuan had dressed her in a maid outfit earlier had made her feel even closer to him.

Now her tone had become more casual, less reserved than before—which made Reines even more endearing: [illegible]

"Besides, Mr. Qin Chuan hasn't finished investigating the three main families either. He has indeed learned about the Tohsaka and Einzbern families, but what about the Matou family?"
