With that in mind, Qin Chuan opened the system's world selection interface.
Sure enough, a small note appeared below the original world selection bar.
【Dear Kobold, please select the mission world you wish to enter: 1. Dragon Ball (time not adjusted); 2. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (time not adjusted); 3. Fate/Zero (time not adjusted)】
[Dear Kobold, your play count for today is 1.]
"Indeed, this way, I can enter another world today."
Qin Chuan nodded in satisfaction, his gaze shifting between Dragon Ball and Fate/Zero.
Since the JoJo world has just been created, there's definitely no need to go back in. As for the other two worlds...
If Qin Chuan goes to the Dragon Ball world, he will train with King Kai and have a professional teacher to guide him. His strength should be able to improve further, and he will also learn the Kaioken and Spirit Bomb techniques.
As for going to the Type-Moon world... Qin Chuan wasn't sure if Saber had arrived in Fuyuki City a day later, or if Caster had been summoned.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Qin Chuan decided to go into the Type-Moon world to take a look.
Since going to the Dragon Ball world is just for training, there's no rush. But the Type-Moon world... Qin Chuan really wants to finish it as soon as possible.
Knowing that obtaining synchronization rate a second time in the same mission world would increase the number of daily playthroughs, Qin Chuan was even more eager to complete a main storyline and unlock the next mission.
The Fourth Holy Grail War was not difficult for him to begin with; clearing it was an easy task.
With this in mind, Qin Chuan quickly made a decision.
"Enter the world of Fate/Zero."
Hopefully, the other Heroic Spirits won't disappoint him; it would be best if they could gather in Fuyuki City as soon as possible and wait for him to resolve the situation.
Chapter 141 Comforting the Madam
This time, the system didn't warn of insufficient play counts, and Qin Chuan successfully appeared in Rin Tohsaka's room.
It was two or three in the morning, and Rin Tohsaka, being a child, should have been asleep long ago.
However, when Qin Chuan appeared in the room, he found Rin Tohsaka sitting on the bed with a sullen expression, not at all asleep.
"Berserker?"
Upon seeing Qin Chuan appear in the room, Rin Tohsaka abruptly raised her head, revealing a clearly heartbroken expression.
As if she had found her pillar of support, Rin Tohsaka rushed forward and threw herself into Qin Chuan's arms, then began to cry:
"Berserker! My father... he was killed by Kariya Matou!"
"what?"
Qin Chuan was stunned upon hearing this, never expecting to hear such explosive news from Rin Tohsaka.
He personally released Matou Kariya. Although he had anticipated that Matou Kariya might self-destruct in the final moments of his life, he did not expect him to do so so quickly.
09 Moreover, the effect was outstanding, taking down Tokiomi Tohsaka in one fell swoop—a feat that even Kariya Matou couldn't accomplish in the original work.
After all, in the original work, Matou Kariya stood in front of Tohsaka Tokiomi as an enemy, accompanied by Berserker. Tohsaka Tokiomi was very wary of him and naturally would not allow Matou Kariya to get close to him.
This time, having lost Lancelot as a Servant, Kariya Matou met with Tokiomi Tohsaka alone, using the pretext of forming an alliance to completely lower Tokiomi's guard.
Adding to this the betrayal of Kirei Kotomine, whom Tokiomi Tohsaka originally thought would help stop him, all these factors combined to allow Kariya Matou to successfully stab Tokiomi Tohsaka to death.
When Rin Tohsaka spoke of this, her tone was filled with hatred for Kariya Matou—although Kariya Matou had been very kind to her and her mother in the past, the hatred for killing her father far outweighed his small favors.
"It was Kirei Kotomine who came to tell us. He said he failed to protect his father..."
Rin Tohsaka cried in Qin Chuan's arms, recounting the events in fits and starts—all the information had been given to her by Kirei Kotomine earlier that day.
"Berserker, the Holy Grail War... is it really that cruel?"
Qin Chuan hugged Rin Tohsaka's small body, stroked her head, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He knew that saying anything at this moment would be meaningless. Rin Tohsaka was a strong child; she would become strong on her own after crying, without needing him to say anything more.
What he is more concerned about now is how the Holy Grail War will change after Tokiomi Tohsaka's death.
"It seems that Gilgamesh will become Kirei Kotomine's Servant... Gilgamesh is also a pleasure-seeker, so he should have a lot in common with Kirei Kotomine."
Qin Chuan pondered to himself—in the original work, Kirei Kotomine's pleasure in watching others suffer was gradually lured out by Gilgamesh.
But now it seems that the show put on by Matou Kariya and Tohsaka Tokiomi has already awakened Kirei Kotomine's twisted mind ahead of time.
Otherwise, with Matou Kariya's mediocre skills, how could he possibly kill Tohsaka Tokiomi in front of Kirei Kotomine, the representative of the Holy Church?
Could he defeat Kirei Kotomine? Kirei Kotomine is a martial arts expert who knows Bajiquan.
However, the fact that Tokiomi Tohsaka was killed by Kariya Matou was also a good thing for Qin Chuan—this way, he wouldn't have to worry about Rin Tohsaka's feelings and show mercy to Tokiomi Tohsaka.
Since Tokiomi Tohsaka is dead, Rin Tohsaka can't possibly stop herself from killing Gilgamesh, can she? Gilgamesh and Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't have a particularly close relationship.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Gilgamesh always seemed to look down on Tokiomi Tohsaka, so killing Gilgamesh was actually helping Rin Tohsaka vent her anger.
But this also means that Kirei Kotomine has to supply the mana of two Servants by himself... Can he handle it? What if he gets drained of his mana by the two Heroic Spirits?
After a while, Rin Tohsaka had almost finished crying, and then, with red eyes, she left Qin Chuan's embrace.
"I'm sorry, Berserker, I lost control of my emotions..."
"It's okay, you're still just a kid, it's normal."
Qin Chuan didn't think there was anything wrong with Rin Tohsaka crying in this situation. After all, she was a child, and Qin Chuan couldn't expect her to be indifferent to her father's death.
"I'm not a child anymore!"
However, Rin Tohsaka seemed a little dissatisfied with Qin Chuan's behavior of treating her like a child, and stomped her foot again, pouting as she retorted.
But seeing that Qin Chuan seemed to have no intention of taking back his words, Rin Tohsaka could only sigh dejectedly and then said to Qin Chuan:
“Berserker, although I've accepted this fact, Mom doesn't seem to be able to accept it for a while…”
"I see, that's why she's still crying."
Qin Chuan understood. His hearing was now extremely strong. With the amplification of his five senses by "qi", he could hear a woman crying in a room downstairs.
That must be Rin Tohsaka's mother, Aoi Tohsaka, who is crying because of Tokiomi Tohsaka's death.
As for whether Aoi Tohsaka had a deep and unforgettable love for Tokiomi Tohsaka, Qin Chuan felt that it was probably not true.
Her marriage to Tokiomi Tohsaka was largely driven by the needs of a magician. Although she fulfilled her duties as a wife after marriage, their relationship remained just that.
Her tears now are likely due to her uncertainty about the future—after all, the Tohsaka family will probably have to rely on her to support them from now on.
"Berserker, could you go and comfort Mom?"
Rin Tohsaka didn't have Qin Chuan's exaggerated hearing, so naturally she couldn't hear Aoi Tohsaka crying alone in her room downstairs.
But she knew very well that if things continued like this, her mother's mental state might deteriorate significantly, so she hoped Qin Chuan could help her.
As for how to help... Rin Tohsaka had no idea at all. After all, she was just a child, and when faced with such a major change, she could only turn to the person she could rely on most.
With Tokiomi Tohsaka dead and her mother constantly weeping, Qin Chuan is the only person she can rely on.
Therefore, it is reasonable for her to make this request.
However, upon hearing Rin Tohsaka's request, Qin Chuan subconsciously thought of something strange and pointed to himself:
"I?"
Isn't this not good?
Tokiomi Tohsaka had only been dead for less than a day, and you're already asking me to comfort his wife... isn't that a bit inhumane?
Chapter 142 The Tohsaka Family's Affairs
At Rin Tohsaka's insistence, Qin Chuan had no choice but to go to where Aoi Tohsaka was—the living room of this house.
Although it was the first time Aoi Tohsaka had met Qin Chuan, she already knew about her Heroic Spirit's situation from Rin Tohsaka.
Qin Chuan provided psychological counseling to Tohsaka Aoi, saying that although crying is a natural human reaction, she should not let it overwhelm her and should remember that she still has a daughter.
Aoi Tohsaka said she knew she had to take care of her daughter, but the pressure was just too much.
The Tohsaka family, as a family of magicians, has some assets in Fuyuki City, but they rely more on the help of the Magic Association.
Tokiomi Tohsaka is the pillar of the Tohsaka family as a magician, while Aoi Tohsaka is just a weak woman. How can she guarantee that the Mage's Association will continue to support the Tohsaka family?
Qin Chuan stated that he had a way to ensure the Mage Association continued to support the Tohsaka family until Rin Tohsaka grew into a fully-fledged magician.
Aoi Tohsaka, however, expressed doubts about Qin Chuan's assurances, since Qin Chuan was just a Heroic Spirit who would leave after the Holy Grail War ended and could not continue to influence the present world.
Faced with Aoi Tohsaka's doubts, Qin Chuan simply demonstrated his strength through his actions, showing whether he had the ability to influence the present world.
Finally, Aoi Tohsaka was completely convinced and understood the power of Qin Chuan through her own experience, thus letting go of the pain brought about by Tokiomi Tohsaka's death.
For a mature woman who has just lost something, the best way is naturally to make up for what she lost.
The specific details are not for outsiders to know.
……
"How are you, Berserker? Is my mom alright?"
More than two hours later, Qin Chuan returned to Rin Tohsaka's room feeling refreshed.
Upon returning to her room, she was immediately met with a concerned look from Rin Tohsaka—because she had just heard some noises coming from downstairs.
Unlike Aoi Tohsaka, who was crying silently by herself, the commotion just now was much louder, so even Rin Tohsaka could hear it.
However, Rin Tohsaka, who was still a child, obviously did not know what the commotion just now meant.
Although Rin Tohsaka is somewhat precocious, her precocity is more evident in magic; her understanding of other things is not much different from that of other children.
She even thought that Tohsaka Aoi had attacked Qin Chuan because she was too heartbroken.
Although Aoi Tohsaka is not that kind of person, and Qin Chuan is obviously not someone who could be hurt by a weak woman like Aoi Tohsaka, Rin Tohsaka is still worried because she cares too much.
On one side is her only family member, and on the other is the only person she can rely on. Rin Tohsaka hopes that nothing goes wrong on either side.
"Ahem, don't worry, Miss Aoi has calmed down and is sleeping soundly."
Qin Chuan coughed twice to ease the awkwardness. Although the process was a bit awkward, he could say he had fulfilled his mission.
Although the fullness in this sentence is multifaceted.
However, while comforting Aoi Tohsaka, he also promised to help her resolve the issue of support from the Mage Association... It seems he'll have to make another trip to the Mage Association later.
Although Qin Chuan is a heroic spirit in this mission world, he is not a magician, so he doesn't know how to get to the Mage's Association.
It seems we'll have to ask Waver to lead the way, since he's a student of the Clock Tower, which is the headquarters of the Mage's Association.
Qin Chuan planned to make a trip there, and then use the same method he used to control Kiryu and the others in the real world to add another layer of shackles to the higher-ups of the Mage Association.
Although the magicians of the Magic Association have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves, they can't see the stand-ins. They can stuff crows into the magicians' brains themselves, and even if they have brain surgery, it's useless.
This should allow those guys in the Mage's Association to continue, or even increase, their support for the Tohsaka family, right?
As for Kirei Kotomine, who was in charge of managing the Tohsaka family's assets in the original work...
Qin Chuan felt he wouldn't survive the Fourth Holy Grail War, so it would be better for him to go to the Mage's Association to arrange a way out for the Tohsaka family.
I bet Matou Sakura will be really happy to know that Qin Chuan is going to the Clock Tower with her.
"Really? How did you do that?"
Rin Tohsaka was somewhat surprised. Qin Chuan didn't seem to be lying. She breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little puzzled.
Although it was indeed she who asked Qin Chuan to comfort her mother, she was actually clinging to the only person she could rely on at that time.
After Qin Chuan truly calmed her mother down, she became curious about how he had managed it.
"That's not something you need to worry about. Anyway, your mother has already moved on from your father's shadow."
Qin Chuan's lips twitched; naturally, he would never corrupt a child.
Even if we were to say it, we should wait until Rin Tohsaka is a bit older.
"And I will help you sort out the issues with the Magic Association later. You and your daughter will be in my care from now on."
"Who needs you to take care of them?"
Rin Tohsaka gave Qin Chuan a shove, though she looked a little resentful. Qin Chuan could tell that she was relieved.
Although Rin Tohsaka is young, her mindset is indeed more determined than many adults.
"Berserker, are you going out tonight too? I want to come with you!"
