Chapter 32

Lin Ye's Home

Lin Ye was brushing Sakura's hair. Looking at her cute little face in the mirror, Lin Ye couldn't help but pinch her soft, pink cheeks and say,

"Have you put on weight lately? Your little face looks quite a bit rounder."

"No way! Sakura isn't fat at all!" Sakura pouted unhappily at Lin Ye. She had been doing nothing but eating and playing every day while staying with Lin Ye, so it was only natural that she had gained a little weight.

After saying this, Sakura hopped off the stool, ran to the door, opened it, and prepared to dash outside.

"Sakura, where are you going?"

"I... I'm going for a run!"

Sakura said unhappily. She knew that if she got too fat, what would happen if Lin Ye didn't like her anymore?

Seeing Sakura like this, Lin Ye shook his head faintly and then spoke to the system.

"System, let's conduct today's life simulation."

[Yes, Master. Would you like to draw a new target character or continue an unfinished target simulation?]

"Let's draw one first and see who it is."

[Drawing target character... Congratulations, Master, you have drawn the target character: Ryuunosuke Uryuu.]

"What the hell? What kind of thing is this!"

Lin Ye looked at the option, then waved his hand dismissively and said, "Guess my luck is bad. Let's get this over with quickly and draw again."

[Yes, Master.]

Subsequently, the system began the simulation right in front of Lin Ye.

[Day 1: You are out for a night stroll when suddenly, you hear a cry for help. You walk toward the sound and see a yellow-haired youth chasing a little boy. He corners the boy. Seeing this, you choose:]

[Option 1: Intervene and save the little boy.

Option 2: The target is Ryuunosuke Uryuu; walk over and help him catch the little boy.

Option 3: Pretend not to see it and walk past.]

"Choose 1," Lin Ye said without hesitation.

[You walk over and, to Ryuunosuke Uryuu's bewilderment, punch him in the face. You kick and break both his legs, then toss him into the waters of the Mion River.]

The river water covers Ryuunosuke Uryuu's nose and mouth. He struggles in the water, but with both legs broken, he has no strength to surface.

Ryuunosuke Uryuu sinks into the water. Deceased.]

[Your simulation has ended. You have earned the achievement:

Can't Even Wait a Day (Simulation ended within one day)

Your overall rating: E

You have received the reward: Magic Craft - Art of Death]

Looking at the simulation results, Lin Ye indifferently chose to ignore them.

Perhaps he could have gotten a better reward if he had chosen to help Ryuunosuke Uryuu, but the problem was that even in a simulation, Lin Ye found it disgusting.

Meanwhile, in a dark, large room, Ryuunosuke Uryuu stared blankly at the information in his mind.

[Day 1: You went out. You died.

Your simulation failed. No reward.]

Ryuunosuke Uryuu...

What on earth was that simulation? Just a moment ago, he was excited, thinking God appreciated his art and had given him a cheat, but now it seemed...

Was this cheat meant for me?

Lin Ye, having finished the simulation, clapped his hands lightly and said,

"Simulation complete. Time to sleep."

Just as Lin Ye was preparing to sleep, in the Tohsaka family basement...

Two figures were gathered there: Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine.

Kirei Kotomine was drawing the Heroic Spirit summoning circle according to the method Tokiomi Tohsaka had taught him. Kirei Kotomine had not prepared a catalyst, as the one he was summoning did not require one.

"Alright, Tokiomi, if you're ready, let's begin. Everything must go according to plan. Don't misread the incantation I taught you; the incantation to summon Assassin is different from other Heroic Spirits. Don't mix them up," Tokiomi Tohsaka instructed.

"Understood, Master." Kirei Kotomine nodded and began to chant, "Proclaim. Your body shall be under my command; my fate shall be by your sword..."

Kirei Kotomine began the incantation, and then a bright light appeared in the magic circle in the basement!

Hum!

Under the bright light, a slender figure appeared in the center of the magic circle. Her physique could be described as curvaceous, and the bone mask on her face gave off a chilling sensation. Seeing this figure, Tokiomi Tohsaka said excitedly to Kirei Kotomine,

"Success! The iconic bone mask—it's definitely Assassin!"

"Hmm." Kirei Kotomine didn't feel much; he hadn't felt much to begin with. Participating in the Holy Grail War was just to help Tokiomi Tohsaka. He didn't care who was summoned.

Kirei Kotomine looked at the Hassan before him and stepped forward to ask, "You... which Hassan are you?"

Hearing Kirei Kotomine's words, one figure after another emerged from the shadows around the leader of the Hundred Personas. These figures were big, small, old, and young. Seeing them, Kirei Kotomine and Tokiomi Tohsaka knew which Hassan this was.

Hassan of the Hundred Personas!

"We, the many faces of the shadows, accompany you. We will surely place the Holy Grail in your hands. Rest assured, Master."

Hundred Personas was very confident. She was naturally confident because, due to the existence of the Life Simulation, her strength had greatly increased compared to her original self!

Her Strength had risen to A! She also possessed B-rank Illusionism! Combined with her original abilities after becoming a Heroic Spirit, her overall combat strength was now firmly that of a first-rate Heroic Spirit, not weak at all in a standard Holy Grail War.

Seeing such a confident Hundred Personas, Tokiomi Tohsaka curled his lips into a smile.

"You are very confident. In that case, I will assign you a task."

Hmm?

Hundred Personas looked at Kirei Kotomine on the side and saw him nod at her. Only then did she say,

"Assassination, reconnaissance, cremation, cold storage—whether it's killing, arson, or cleaning up traces, I am at your disposal."

The greatest advantage of a Hassan is obedience; after all, they are assassins, and completing the mission is their primary goal.

Seeing Hundred Personas say this, Tokiomi Tohsaka then said,

"Two days ago, a Master broke into my home and kidnapped my daughter. Since he is a Master, he shouldn't have left Fuyuki City. I want you to find him and bring my daughter back to me. Of course, if you can kill that Master, then take care of him as well."

"You want me to find your daughter?" Hundred Personas almost couldn't help but curse. You're not my Master, so giving me orders is one thing, but you're also assigning me tasks that have little to do with seizing the Holy Grail?

You really are something!

Hundred Personas didn't answer; she looked at Kirei Kotomine again. Seeing him nod, she finally nodded and said,

"Fine. Give me the portraits of your daughter and that kidnapper. I'll give you an answer within three days."

"Good." Tokiomi Tohsaka took out a photo of Sakura and handed it to Hundred Personas. "This is my daughter. As for the one who kidnapped her, he is a young man with Command Spells on the back of his hand. It's very obvious."

"Fine." Hundred Personas nodded, and then the group of figures vanished from the Tohsaka family basement.

Hundred Personas had begun her operation.
