Chapter 2, The First Coming
A loud explosion was heard from above, judging by the location, it should be the direction of the living room.
"What!!"
Rin Tosaka ran, running out of the basement, his mind still empty.
Just now, Rin Tosaka carved a magic circle in the basement according to the notes left by his father, and prepared to summon an envoy called the Servant as the master (master). As described in most Western fantasy novels, a summoning array is depicted, a lengthy incantation is recited, and then a drop of blood is dropped, and the Servant is summoned with a "bang".
"That's weird! Why does it appear in the living room? ”
Rin Tosaka, who has always been strict with herself, couldn't stand this kind of mistake for herself, and ran up the stairs, holding her head and screaming.
That's right, there were basically no problems in the summoning process, but after the summoning was completed, Servant didn't appear in the magic circle and knelt down on one knee to swear allegiance to himself, as Rin imagined. On the contrary, the magic circle was empty, and there was not even a single Servant's leg hair. At this moment, there was a loud noise in the living room, and needless to say, it was clear that there was a mistake in the summoning, and the Servant was summoned to the living room.
Rin Tosaka is a chosen participant in the Holy Grail War, and the magician who participates in the Holy Grail War is called the Master. This is not a term of class, but simply a term of work as a master. The condition for participating in the Holy Grail War is to summon an envoy called a servant and make a contract.
The so-called Holy Grail War, according to the general narrative in the game, is that the seven summoners drive the summoned beast to grab a holy grail of the best equipment. It's such a simple story.
However, unlike ordinary treasures, the Holy Grail selects seven magicians who are eligible for it.
Rin Tosaka is a magician.
In this world, magic is not the kind of trick to perform on stage in a gown.
Magic and magic are different things. To put it simply, no matter how incredible it is, as long as there is time and technology, anyone can achieve it is magic. For example, if you want to ignite a fire, you can use a lighter. And what can't be achieved no matter how much time and technology is magic, such as the third magic, "soul materialization". The difference between the two can be seen from the naming, one is "Shu" and the other is "Fa". "Shu" belongs to the skill, and "law" is the concept.
What no one can imitate, what cannot be done with modern science, and turning this miracle into a possible existence, he is called a magician.
There are many magicians, and there are only five magicians, each of whom controls five magics. That's right, you read that right, there are only five magic. It is said that someone once tried to challenge the Sixth Dharma, but failed.
In short, don't look down on magicians because they have the same name as those who stand on stage and perform tricks.
"The door is broken!?"
Rin finally made it to the living room, and was about to open the door when she found that the thick wooden door had been crooked. The door detaches from the door frame, but gets stuck in the middle, and the door binder that controls the opening and closing of the door is presumably distorted. Even if you turn the doorknob, it doesn't make sense, and you can't open it no matter how you push or pull.
"Ah......h
With a click, Rin kicked the door open and entered the living room. Although he is a magician, Rin Tosaka is not the kind of mage in the novel who has low melee ability and poor physique, and can only rely on distance to abuse people, and is killed in seconds once he gets close. Due to the fact that the guardian Yan Feng Qili is a master of boxing and his policy that "those who learn magic should also exercise", Rin also learned Bajiquan from him in addition to magic. With the goal of "perfect" and "elegant" eldest lady, she naturally doesn't usually show it in front of outsiders, but now she doesn't have so many scruples at home.
The living room became a mess, did something fall from the ceiling, the roof had a big hole, the roof and the mezzanine of the ceiling could be seen, and the moonlight penetrated through the night sky without hesitation, making the dark living room barely visible. There was a lot of rubble scattered in the room, the precious canvas framed in glass was full of cracks and crooked on the walls, the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were pulled down, the glass was broken all over the floor, and the furniture was crooked and dirty. Maybe it was too much movement when the door opened, and the salad fell through the hole with a thud.
"Isn't this a cheap repair......
Rin Tosaka looked up at the huge hole, his eyes blank and his mouth muttering.
The Tosaka family's bungalow was built by my grandfather 200 years ago, and now it's almost the same thing as a cultural heritage, and since the Tosaka family is more or less a famous family, the materials used are naturally very valuable. It's quite a hassle to repair. If it was the time of Rin Tosaka's father, Tosaka Tokitoshi, this loss would naturally be a drizzle. The generations before Rin Tosaka actively converted the key areas they controlled into commercial land, and those who used it were successful because of "some reason for their prosperity", which allowed the Tosaka family to receive a large amount of taxes. On the other hand, the Magic Society in London operates a patent for magic. Tosaka Tokitomi once registered for the "magic trick of simplifying magic", so although it was little by little, there was a royalty income every month, and with that income, the Tosaka family was maintained. Therefore, Rin's father, Tosaka Tokitomi's generation, has a large amount of savings in funds and magic products.
The Tosaka family is a bourgeoisie, and holds many magic patents (magic theory, magic style), so they earn quite a lot. Even if Rin doesn't do anything, she will undoubtedly have an annual income of 10 million yen.
However, such a large amount of savings is already in jeopardy for Rin's generation.
After Tokitomi's death, Rin inherited the magic patent applied for by Tokitomi and the commercial land of Fuyuki City, but under the foolish and sloppy management of his guardian Yan Feng Qili, most of the land with good income fell into the hands of others, and the magic style created by Tokitomi, who was called a genius, gradually became obsolete in modern times, and the young Tosaka Rin did not do anything special at the time, and the gems required for gem magic were expensive and discarded, and the Tosaka family's financial problems became increasingly serious. Therefore, using the current head of the Tosaka family, Rin Tosaka often falls into financial crisis and often goes to the shrine to work on festivals.
Unfortunately, due to the preparations for the Holy Grail War, the Tosaka family is now at a minimum financial expenditure.
To put it bluntly, this hole can't be filled.
"It's a lot of trouble on a rainy day......"
Basically, there was no emotion in the language, and Rin turned her head to the middle of the living room like a stiff puppet. The murderer who caused all this is there.
A woman in red crashing headfirst into the floor.
The part above her neck was inside the floor, and only the exposed body was still struggling, and her long and slender jade legs as white as ivory kept shaking. Because her body was upside down, she had to hold down the black pleated skirt with one free hand so that it wouldn't hang down due to gravity. It's a pity that she's facing away from Rin, and the material of the skirt isn't something you hold down on one side and the other won't fall. So the skirt at the hips hung down weakly, revealing the pink panties inside.
As if sensing that Rin's voice was coming from behind, she quickly brushed the skirt on her hips with her other hand. The consequence of this is that both hands hold the skirt and the body has no support. The unbalanced body leans back a little......
"Huh
It was probably the angle of the body that caused the neck to be twisted, and the girl's head under the floor let out a miserable scream, and she hurriedly supported the ground with her hands without caring about walking away. If you have the conditions, you can try it, when the neck is stuck in the hole and the body falls backwards, due to the structure of the shoulder blades, you can't force the balance of the body with your hands. So, like a toppled building, the girl shook her legs desperately, and her body fell down with her neck as a fulcrum. I saw that the girl's body suddenly stiffened, and there was a creepy "pop" sound from her neck, which made Rin can't help but jump in her heart.
Puff ......
A hole in the roof leaked some gravel, and sprinkled with the moonlight on the girl's body, which was still buried in the floor but lying at a ninety-degree angle to the ground.
Except for Rin, who was stunned, there was no movement in the room.
"You can't just die...... Right? ”
Rin Tosaka's face twitched.
