Chapter 39

Being able to get Ishtar's help is indeed a great boost for him.

But the premise is that the Holy Grail can actually be used.

He had no interest at all in that Holy Grail, which had been polluted by Angra Mainyu into a sewer.

But it doesn't matter; being able to work together to beat Gilgamesh up to vent his anger is also good.

Feng Xi: "Fine, I agree."

"Great."

Rin Tohsaka said happily: "Then let's do it tonight."

"How impatient are you?"

Feng Xi had black lines on his forehead and coughed lightly: "No rush, we have to wait for Gilgamesh to come out before we can act."

Rin Tohsaka: "That's true; I can't destroy my house just to deal with him."

Feng Xi thought to himself: "And Tohsaka Tokiomi won't let us solve Gilgamesh easily either."

"Rin, Sakura, are you two okay?"

Just then, a figure suddenly ran to their Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side; it was Kariya Matou.

Kariya Matou happened to be passing by and saw the Tohsaka sisters, so he rushed over immediately.

"Uncle Kariya..."

Rin Tohsaka's expression stiffened when she saw Kariya Matou.

She hadn't forgotten that in the first video, Kariya Matou had killed her father.

Although this hadn't happened now, it still made her not know how to face this uncle who had taken good care of her in the past.

"..."

Rin Tohsaka's behavior made Kariya Matou feel very heartbroken.

He clearly hadn't done anything; why was the little angel no longer close to him?

Sure enough, everything was Tokiomi's fault.

"Sakura, are you alright?"

Kariya Matou looked at Sakura with concern.

He had rushed back that day and felt relieved to learn that Sakura had been rescued, but no matter how he asked in the group chat before, Sakura wouldn't reply, which made his heart tighten involuntarily again.

"I'm fine..."

Sakura answered timidly.

Because Feng Xi was by her Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, Sakura felt much more at ease and was no longer reticent.

Seeing Sakura's state, Kariya Matou felt another pang of heartache.

Damn the old worm, damn Tokiomi; look at what they had done to such a good child.

"Mr. Matou, have you returned to the Matou residence these past few days?"

Feng Xi asked suddenly.

Kariya Matou frowned and said, "No, I haven't been back to the Matou residence since I returned to Fuyuki. Why?"

"Nothing."

Feng Xi gave Zhang Jiao a look.

Zhang Jiao produced a talisman with his hand under the table, which then ignited and turned into a streak of fire that flew away rapidly, unseen by anyone.

Not far away, several insects were instantly burned to ashes.

"Hmph, was I discovered..."

At the Matou residence, the old worm couldn't help but snort coldly upon sensing that the insects he had sent to monitor Kariya Matou had disappeared.

It was that brat from China again; he would make that kid pay sooner or later.

However, with a Heroic Spirit by the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side's Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, it was truly difficult for him to make a move.

As for Sakura, he had temporarily lost interest.

What he was more concerned about now was what exactly had happened to Kariya Matou.

How could a piece of trash who originally had no magical aptitude suddenly possess magic circuits?

He had personally examined Kariya Matou back then and confirmed he was just an ordinary person.

To confirm the truth, he had deliberately sent someone to give the relic in his hand to Kariya Matou, never expecting the other party to actually summon a Servant.

This confirmed that Kariya Matou's magic circuits were real.

This made the old worm very curious, and he had secretly monitored the other party for several days.

As a result, he really did discover something wrong.

Kariya Matou often talked to the air and would stare blankly for a long time every noon, just like a mental patient.

The old worm suspected this was some kind of magic that blocked his vision, which was why he couldn't see anything.

Combined with the fact that Tokiomi Tohsaka had suddenly changed his mind and beaten him up severely,

there must have been some unforeseen change in this Holy Grail War that he didn't know about.

"Kariya!"

Back to Feng Xi's Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, Aoi Tohsaka was startled when she saw Kariya Matou as soon as she came out of the shop.

Aoi Tohsaka hadn't joined the quiz group, so she didn't know that Kariya Matou had "killed" Tokiomi Tohsaka, and Tokiomi Tohsaka wouldn't have told his wife about such a thing.

It was too shameful.

"Aoi..."

Seeing the person he loved, Kariya Matou finally had a trace of a smile on his face.

Aoi Tohsaka: "When did you get back? I didn't even know."

"I only got back a few days ago, because I received news."

Kariya Matou smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, if I hadn't left, I could have told you the true face of that old man in my family earlier, and Sakura wouldn't have..."

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with you."

Aoi Tohsaka sat down beside Sakura and stroked her head pityingly.

"Uh, who is this?"

After a long silence, Kariya Matou, who had come back to his senses, finally noticed Ishtar.

How could this person look so much like Rin Tohsaka? Could she be a relative of the Tohsaka family?

"Ha, this goddess is the Goddess of Venus, Ishtar."

Ishtar held her head high and said, "You mortal, to dare ignore me just now, how rude."

"You are Ishtar!"

Kariya Matou was dumbfounded.

How could this goddess look exactly like Rin Tohsaka?

Kariya Matou, who hadn't received a formal education as a magus, had long forgotten about the matter of Pseudo-Servants.

Aoi Tohsaka: "Kariya, have you eaten? Do you want to have something together?"

Kariya Matou: "This... alright."

How could he refuse when his goddess invited him to eat?

After Kariya Matou sat down, he looked at the happy mother and daughter of the Tohsaka family, wishing time could pause and preserve this beauty forever.

"Hmm?"

A moment later, Red Hare, who was gnawing on a carrot, suddenly raised his head and looked around.

Seeing this, Feng Xi asked, "Red Hare, what's wrong?"

Red Hare said seriously, "Someone is watching us, but I can't find that person."

"An invisible peeper? Could the old worm still not be giving up?"

Feng Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhang Jiao beside him.

Zhang Jiao looked around and shook his head, "No, I don't have any insects."

"Hmm? So it's not the old worm?"

Feng Xi guessed to himself, "Possessing such advanced concealment techniques, could it be that guy Emiya Kiritsugu?"

Apart from the Heroic Spirit Kiritsugu, Feng Xi couldn't think of anyone else with such advanced concealment abilities.

"Hmm? That is!"

Suddenly, Feng Xi noticed a figure appearing on a rooftop not far away.
