Chapter 154: An Angry Shiro Visits Matō House at Night
() Could it be that Chu Xuan’s idea was... Could it be that he was just trying to pull off a trick? In order not to reveal any flaws, he didn’t even tell us this series of things. He just used his resourcefulness to carry out the plan step by step, and then when the other party did that
When he takes one step, he will use his tactics to his advantage...
Chu Xuan will always be Chu Xuan. He is so ruthless and puts profit first in everything. Does he think the success rate of the entire plan is more than 50%? Is he really so convinced that he can achieve final victory?
So, from the very beginning, Chu Xuan treated all of us as pawns, me, the Zhongzhou team, or the other party’s resource person, the other team... He actually treated all of us as pawns to complete such a layout.

-------------------------------
Shirou woke up when it was still dark, and his body's self-healing ability was beyond everyone's imagination. So after saying goodbye to Rin, he took Sber back home.
"I'm back!"
Shirou said loudly and entered the entrance hall.
"────────"
moment.
A disgusting feeling of incongruity came over him.
"Shirou, corridor."
sber reminded.
There are traces similar to footprints on the corridor.
Only Sakura's shoes were left, and the mansion was quiet.
"cherry!"
When I walked to the guest room, there was no one in the room.
The annoying feeling of dissonance turned into an ominous certainty.
Return to the living room.
Sakura isn't here either.
The footprints extending from the corridor to the living room are no longer there.
It looked like someone was wearing shoes, came here, did something, and then went out again.
"Shirou, look at the floor here. Although it's small, there are blood stains───"
"I know. Sakura stayed here."
Sakura should have been in the living room, waiting for him to come back alone, but now she was gone.
There are unseen footprints on the corridor.
That's all I can say.
It's weird that we can't come to a conclusion yet.
As long as you calm down a little, the answer will appear immediately.
"Ring ring ring————"
The phone rings.
He slowly picked up the phone. The voice coming from the other side made him extremely angry. After a long time, he silently put down the phone.
Sber saw Shirou's face almost twisted, it was a sign of extreme anger.
Matou Shinji, he actually took action against his own sister!
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
At night, Rin and Felicia arrived at her destination.
Matou Residence.
It is the workshop of an ancient magician family that moved to this town two hundred years ago.
Although they gave up this land as a collaborator, they were by no means alien companions involved in friendship.
Tohsaka and Matou are bound by a covenant of inviolability and no intersection.
"───────"
But why is she moving forward step by step?
If there was a covenant not to interact with each other, that thing would have been broken eleven years ago.
Generally speaking, the people who made the covenant were the clan leaders from long ago.
Moreover, the rules have been followed for two hundred years without even clearly defining the content and reasons.
During this time, neither Tohsaka nor Matou got the Holy Grail they were aiming for.
Originally, the purpose of consolidating the alliance between the two families was to obtain the "Holy Grail".
There is no reason to obey such moldy regulations when this has not been achieved so far.
He didn't even ring the doorbell and just barged in through the entrance hall.
She is not here as a guest.
She only came here to fulfill her role as Master and eliminate the enemies of the Holy Grail War.
"Even so."
Rin looked at Matou Residence with a sad expression on his face.
We came here to find and kill that servnt, so there was no need to be bound by the covenant between Tohsaka and Matou.
──Even though I say this to myself, it is still difficult to change the habits formed over the years.
"By the way. This is the first time I have violated my father's instructions."
She murmured to herself.
This is nothing special.
Because destroying father's teachings is not destroying something very important.
If there is anything I regret, it would be:
‘What an idiot. If it was going to break sooner or later, it would be better if it could be done earlier.’
I have endured it for ten years without stopping. Who do I regret?
"───Rin. There are two blank areas in the room design of the mansion."
"Huh? Over there, on the first floor?"
"It's on the second floor. The stairs are quite narrow. I'm afraid they lead to the underground."
"Okay. By the way, rher, do you feel anything?"
"Of course. But it's not harmful. As long as you look at it, I won't pay attention."
Nodding to Felicia beside her, she moved towards the hidden passage on the second floor.
"This is it, I'm going to open it. It's going to be very dark, so be careful──"
Felicia opened the wall.
From the crack in the passage leading underground, humid air came.
It was an unbearable rancid odor that anyone could feel.
Walked down the wet stone steps.
Surrounded by dark green.
The several open holes are for burying the dead.
The remains stored in the sarcophagus just rotted away, weathered, and turned into hollow holes, begging for the next corpse.
This method is very similar to the burial method above ground.
But the difference that determines xng is the process of decay.
The remains that decompose here are not soil, but countless insects.
The floor of the secret room kept moving with a shuddering sound.
Now is the period of activity for insects, and the insects dormant in the cracks of the floor are constantly squirming.
"This is Matou───mkr's training ground───"
Rin whispered, feeling dizzy.
It's not that I dislike it or feel cold.
What made her tremble, regret, and want to vomit was anger.
This is the training ground.
This kind of place is actually a training ground.
In this space filled only with pure water vapor, the permeating stench and a swarm of bugs, this is the "room" given to Matou's heir.
"────────Tsk"
This kind of thing──what on earth are you learning in a place like this?
What we have here is just breeding.
Feed the bugs. Increase the bugs. Exercise the bugs.
Just like that, the people of Matou use these insects to train their successors, whip their successors, and raise their successors────
──That world is so different from my own.
Leng Che's teachings, the difficulty of the subject, and the pain that left a mark on magic.
These are incomparable with the harshness of being an "inheritor".
Originally, if there were troubles to bear and obstacles that had to be overcome, then there was no other kind of obstacle that she could not overcome.
Overcoming the strictness and difficulties in the past is definitely Tohsaka Rin's responsibility.
Therefore, a young genius magician who can use the five elements (vergeone) was welcomed into the Magic Association as a top student.
To control the bugs nesting in this room, it would only take her half a year to come up with a better method.
Even if Matou's heir couldn't master the magic in ten years, Rin could break it in half a year.
But──that stupid learning method.
If asked about the tricks the magician gave the insects to endure, she would have no choice but to swallow her words.
The inheritance of magic practiced here is not learning but torture.
Magic that is taught directly not to the mind, but to the body.
That is the mkr inheritance method, and it is also Matou's magician's hobby.
therefore.
Being chosen as Matou's heir means that he will have to endure endless torture───
"────Rin."
"I understand, Shenji is not here. Did he escape because we came, or does he have other bases. No matter which way, there are no clues to be found, and there is no use waiting for a long time."
Suppressing the urge to scream, she left the stone room.
The sound of the girl's footsteps fading away.
after.
Because she was unhappy and went back, the insects began to chatter and gather together.
