Chapter 4

"Big brother! Big brother will definitely be fine!"

Sakura clenched her little fists nervously. She felt an unprecedented care from Lin Ye. Although she didn't know why this big brother would help her, in Sakura's little heart, she had already completely regarded Lin Ye as her closest person.

【You returned home. Tokiomi Tohsaka was shocked to see you like this. Hearing your words, Tokiomi Tohsaka decided to go with you. However, when you arrived at the gate of the Matou house, you could no longer find a trace of Lin Ye. All that was left was a torn sleeve.】

"Big brother! Wuu wuu!!"

Although Sakura was still young, how could she not know what this meant? Her big brother, the person who saved her when she needed it most, was gone just like that.

【You silently kept Lin Ye's sleeve. Seeing the situation at the Matou house, Tokiomi Tohsaka did not send you to the Matou house again.

Afterword: You became an ordinary person. Your father died in the Fourth Holy Grail War. You and your sister were handed over to be cared for by your father's disciple, Kirei Kotomine.

During this time, Zouken Matou still wanted to make a move on you, but was blocked back by a golden light. The Tohsaka family's magic circuits were inherited by your sister, and you could only become a third-rate mage, but you still studied magecraft hard, wanting to avenge Lin Ye.

Ten years later, your sister suddenly returned to tell you that the Holy Grail War had completely ended. You also learned that Zouken Matou had died in this Holy Grail War. Having lost your goal, you lived the life of an ordinary person after your sister went to the Clock Tower to study.

Sixty years later, you quietly closed your eyes forever on a lounge chair. Only after your sister returned did she discover that you had passed away, and she also discovered that until your death, you were still tightly clutching a piece of a torn sleeve in your hand.】

"Big brother, Sakura is really useless, I didn't even avenge you in the end..." Sakura felt incomparably self-blaming in her heart. Although Zouken Matou died in the end, because he didn't die by her hand, she always felt something was missing.

【First simulation ended. Your fate was successfully changed. This evaluation is: E. Simulation memory being infused... This simulation is complete. Please choose one reward from the following rewards.】

One: Magecraft Constitution—Void: The mage attribute possessed by Sakura Tohsaka. The owner can become a lurker in the dimensional gap. Can control the imaginary number space that shouldn't exist but is suspected to exist. The interior of the space will not be affected by time and space (requires self-development).

Two: Familiar-Insect: The familiar possessed by Zouken Matou. Mages can use it for attacking, scouting, controlling, monitoring... (Insects need to be raised by yourself).

Three: Magic Circuit + Crest (Imaginary Number): The owner automatically obtains a large number of perfectly compatible magic circuits and magic crests, additionally obtaining E-rank magical energy.】

"There are rewards?"

Looking at the three options before her, Sakura also temporarily stopped crying and then focused her gaze on these three options.

"If I possess these abilities, can I avoid going to the Matou house? I can even avenge big brother!"

Thinking of this, Sakura also became excited. Because she only obtained an E evaluation this time, she didn't have anything very good, but these were already enough to satisfy her.

"However, which one should I choose..."

Sakura looked at the three options before her. First, the first one could be excluded. Although the first one looked like the best option, the problem was that Sakura already possessed this thing herself; it was just that she never had much magical energy, so she hadn't developed it.

The second one...

"Hmph! Disgusting insects! Sakura won't learn this kind of magecraft!"

Insect magecraft was too disgusting, and the Tohsaka family's Gem Magecraft was even stronger than insect magecraft, it was just a bit expensive...

"Better choose the third one. Magic circuits and magic crests. With this, maybe Father won't have to send me away!"

Sakura was now completely prepared not to go to the Matou house, and now, with magic circuits, she could learn her own family's magecraft; why bother learning from outsiders? E-rank magical energy! In the eyes of Heroic Spirits, it might not count for much, but in modern times, E-rank magical energy was already enough to become a major force among mages. Not to mention, she was only six years old now.

Thinking of this, Sakura directly chose the third option. And at the same time, in the rented room:

【First simulation ended. You successfully changed the fate of Sakura Matou. Because of your own death, not killing the enemy, not forming a deep bond with the target, survival days being too low... Therefore, this evaluation is: E.】

【This simulation is complete. You can obtain the following rewards.】

One: Magecraft Constitution—Void: The mage attribute possessed by Sakura Tohsaka...

Two: Familiar-Insect: The familiar possessed by Zouken Matou...

Three: Magic Circuit-Introductory: E-rank magical energy...

Extra Achievement: None】

"Yes! Succeeded!"

Lin Ye jumped up in an instant. Succeeding on the first simulation, he really was a genius! It was just this rating, how was it only an E!

But never mind, it counted as taking the first step toward success, and he got three rewards right off the bat!

"System, accept rewards!"

【Yes, Master.】
