Chapter 22: Sakura's Origins

"Although it is different from what I expected, he is an old grandson after all, so he can't sit idly by." The old man's voice in the darkness was very low, and he didn't turn his head, but the magic power in his whole body began to surge rapidly, and his perception was all turned on.

"Are you asking me or are you threatening me?"

Dealing with Medusa in a weak state, because she knows the relationship too well, as long as she finds the right timing and weakness, she doesn't need to spend too much magic, but she has no impression of this old man.

Most of the Fifth Holy Grail War that he knew about was just a matter between the Heroic Spirits, and he didn't go into detail about it, and this old man was obviously fundamentally different from the rest of the magicians.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, Gollum is not easy to back down.

On the contrary, she has always had a strong personality.

"The little girl thinks too much, although you are young, but you are one of the most powerful magicians that the old man has ever seen, and I don't want to provoke this old bone."

The dirty inkstone of the mason walked forward, and Shinji, who was already trembling with fear, regained his spirit after seeing the old man, and the change in his expression before and after was almost like acting.

"Grandpa, quick... Revenge me and get her up for me. ”

"The hard-won Servant will actually be defeated at the hands of humans, is this also the heir of the old bloodline?"

"That's... That's because Rider is too weak, and it's unforgivable if an opponent at that level can't win, so ———"

Shinji seems to have found a backer and ran to the old man, Shinji, who fell down and was threatened by Gollum, can only rely on the old man.

But—

"You idiot, I never expected a shit like you to win. What I want is the spirit of challenging even if you don't have the ability, which is our pride, but you are quite unorthodox and disgrace the name of Makiri. Really, both father and son are a stain on this door. ”

The old man hammered the ground a few times with his cane, and Medusa's figure disappeared.

"Am I the same as my father?" When Shinji heard this, he felt like he was deflated, because he felt that his father was a waste since he was a child.

"Shut up, it's going to be worse. The father was incompetent, and he was born with hopeless defects. Although I still had a glimmer of hope, it ended here, and I went from the spirit of blood corruption. The bloodline of the square is over with you. The old man ignored Shinji and looked at Gudazi, "Are you willing to let go of your old grandson?" ”

"Of course, but you'll have to answer me a few questions."

The smell of rotten meat came into his nose, and after such a while, Gurdazi analyzed the identity of the old man, although it was still a little foggy, but there was also a slight frown.

"Do you hear that, waste? Hurry up, you're not a master anymore, if you want to live, just follow your father's example, and spend the rest of your life meaninglessly. ”

Glared at by the old man, Shinji hurriedly ran into the distance, ran to the exit of the park with both hands and feet, and only turned around once, and rushed away like crazy.

"Shinji was able to become the Master because of your relationship, and Medusa was summoned by you, right?"

"Oh, this question is really obvious, just like you said, it is old to let Shinji be elected as the master. As you can see, I am already decayed, that is, I am old and cannot fight, and I have given up the stage to my grandson to show his talents. ”

"Is that all?"

"It's not surprising that after learning that the Holy Grail appeared, it was not me but my grandson who made a contract with Servant, just like that kid from the Emiya family, who entrusted his unattainable dream to the next generation."

Entrusting the ideal?

Shirou's words are indeed inherited from Kiritsugu's philosophy, but Shinji's words are obviously impossible, and his kind of character will probably not care about anyone except himself.

However, since you have such an idea, it means that the Maki family has been passed down from generation to generation, and just like Sakura, that girl is indeed a magician.

In principle, Servant also belongs to the category of magicians, but it is very special, so Gurdazi asked again: "Is the family of magicians in the same lineage?" ”

"There are two families of Tosaka and Matong rooted in this land, although both of them have declined now, but the rights to this land are a veritable thing of the Tosaka family, and the Maki family is just barely surviving on the previous rights."

"Tosaka, Makiri... So, do you know each other? ”

Gollum remembered something, ten years ago, in the Fourth Holy Grail War that took place in Fuyuki, Tosaka and the Kiriri clan seemed to have also participated in the war.

"Of course, we and Tosaka used to be companions, and we broke off our relationship because the ritual degenerated into a mutual struggle, and we were originally companions with lofty ideals, and if we hadn't been involved in the Holy Grail War, the relationship would have continued." The old man paused for a moment, and then said, "Just like the girl from the Tosaka family now, she is an excellent heir." ”

Hehe's voice, I don't know what kind of feelings Maki has for the Tosaka family, and the old man laughed happily.

"According to what you said, you moved to Fuyuki specifically for the Holy Grail War?"

"That's right, although the name Kirima has taken root here, it was originally called Machiri. But now that I think about it, it's a big mistake, we and this country are not at all adaptable, and the bloodline has gradually thinned out over the past two hundred years, and now only that kind of waste is left as an heir. ”

Gollum nodded, the old man didn't lie to her, she could tell, but the name Marchiri seemed to have been heard there.

"One last question, what's going on with Sakura? Since she is a magician, compared to Shinji, you don't know her magic talent, right? ”

It's also strange to let someone who doesn't know anything about magic be the master and give up a magician with excellent talent.

"Did you find out? That's right, it's not surprising that at your level, you can detect Sakura's abnormality at a glance. However, the old man can tell you that Sakura is impossible, and the magician family can only be passed down from one line to another, and it is impossible to pass it on to outsiders. ”

"What? Outsiders - Sakura is..."

"She is the younger sister of the girl in the Tosaka family, the second child of Tosaka Tokiki. Because the heir can only choose one, he can only give up the other one anyway, and this is Sakura's background. ”

“————”

Sakura was abandoned? That's not right, since there is no inheritance of the magic circuit, and Sakura hates her status as a magician, it is impossible to cultivate, right? So why does Sakura have a level of magic that rivals that of a good magician?

"You... What did you do to Sakura? ”

The atmosphere sank, and the tone of the grunt changed.

On the other hand, what did this guy do to cause Sakura to hate her identity as a magician?

"You don't need to worry about it, the Holy Grail War is not over yet, I haven't lost yet, if you want to know the answer, then find it yourself."

The smell of disgusting laughter and rancid smell grew stronger, and the old man walked out of the park on crutches.

But these words made Gudazi even more suspicious, how was the girl named "Sakura" treated unreasonably?

"Stop, you must now... Tell me – the answer!! ”
