As the Holy Grail War was approaching, Tokiomi Tosaka arranged the Tosaka Residence into a fortress based on his magic workshop.
In order to prevent his successor Rin Tohsaka from being accidentally killed during the Holy Grail War, Tokiomi Tokiomi planned to have his wife take Rin back to her parents' home in Zencheng for temporary refuge.
Although they haven't officially moved out yet, Tohsaka Aoi has taken Rin to Zencheng's house several times recently to make preparations in advance.
The place where Lu Xiao was summoned was located in the underground warehouse of Chancheng House.
The ancestors of the Zenjo family also had magicians, and the magician factor flows in their blood. Tokiomi Tosaka valued this fact and proposed to the Zenjo family to marry Aoi.
As the mistress of the Tohsaka family, Aoi understands and supports her husband's desire to reach the source and never actively interferes with Tokiomi's behavior. She is a typical virtuous wife.
Although she was very reluctant to let her youngest daughter Sakura be adopted into the Matou family, she ultimately chose to support her husband's decision.
Unlike adults who have their own consciousness, Rin, who is still young, has received magician-related education since she was a child, but she still cannot calmly accept the fact that her biological sister who she grew up with was given away.
Between helping her father reach the root and reuniting her family, Xiaolin chose the latter. She hoped to achieve this almost impossible wish through the Holy Grail.
The children who have been sent away by the magician family have no relationship with their original parents. Theoretically speaking, Sakura, who has changed her surname to Matou, can no longer be accepted by the Tosaka family. Even if Rin brings Sakura home, Tokiomi and Aoi will no longer be able to accept her.
Recognize her, unless...
"Unless Sakura has obtained the Matou family's magic seal and the Matou family is destroyed due to 'unknown reasons', it becomes natural for the Tohsaka family, as the managers of Fuyuki, to adopt 'Matou Sakura', who is also an orphan of the Gosan family.
Already."
Fuyuki City is a small port town. The entire city can be roughly divided into two parts: Miyama Town in the west and Shinto in the east. The two major urban areas are separated by the Miyo River that flows through Fuyuki City.
Most of the core facilities, including Ryudouji Temple, elementary and junior high schools and other schools, as well as shopping streets and parks, are located in the old town of Miyama in the west. Modern facilities such as churches, stations, and ports are mostly located in Shinto.
As a wealthy family with a long history in Fuyuki, the mansions of the Tosaka and Matou families were also built in the old town of Miyama Town. Lu Xiao activated the aura masking skill and stood in front of the Matou residence.
At night, you can't hear any insects or birds near Matou House, and the eerie tranquility makes people who pass by subconsciously avoid the place.
The magic workshops built by magicians are important bases for preserving their research results. In order to resist possible intruders, the defense of all magic workshops will be raised to the highest level within the range that the family can bear.
Rin, who is less than 7 years old, has not yet fully grown up, his magic circuit is still under development, and his total magic power is very weak.
Simply relying on the magic power she can provide as a master would not allow Lu Xiao to move freely.
Fortunately, Lu Xiao is not a follower, but comes as his own body, so he is relatively less restricted in terms of restraint.
Because he came as an assassin job agency, his abilities that did not fit the characteristics of a job agency were subject to certain restrictions.
Unless Rin uses the command spell to lift the relevant restrictions, Lu Xiao's abilities cannot be fully utilized within the framework of the Assassin job agency.
However, as the saying goes, there are advantages and disadvantages. Assassin's limited abilities outside of his job have in disguise strengthened Lu Xiao's abilities as an assassin.
His breath interception has been upgraded to A+ with the bonus of the job agency, further reducing the possibility of being observed by magic means and the naked eye.
Rin's familiar, a bird turned from ruby, squatted on Lu Xiao's shoulder and watched him sneak into Matou's house.
A-level Eagle Eyes can penetrate the Matou family's magic defense and completely observe all life reactions inside the mansion, including the large number of imprinted insects located in the underground insect warehouse.
There are two life reactions on the second floor of Matou House. Judging from the human shapes marked in blue, they should be an adult and a child.
There are also two neutral blue humanoids in the underground workshop, one large and one small. In addition, there are large and small engraved bugs crawling in the basement. The logos of these bugs are all hostile red.
'Strange, where is the Matou Zouken?'
The two people on the second floor should be Matou Tsuruno and Shinji, a father and son who have little connection with the magic world. The two people on the ground floor are Matou Kariya and Sakura who just adopted him not long ago.
At this time, the blue child logo representing Sakura had been submerged in a swarm of red marking insects, and the adult who seemed to be Matou Kariya could only watch helplessly from the side.
Observing carefully, Lu Xiaofa discovered that beside Yanye there was a life reaction composed of countless imprinting insects.
'Old bug, in order to continue to maintain his obsession with life, he actually modified his body to this extent.'
Lu Xiao was very disdainful of Matou Zangyan's existence. This guy could no longer be considered a human being.
The magic defense system of Matou Residence is mostly composed of bugs. A large number of marking bugs of various shapes are distributed in the courtyard inside the main entrance. These ferocious marking bugs are the reason why there are no living creatures near the Matou Residence.
With his feet lightly jumping over the outer wall, the engraved insect hidden in the dark stood out in Lu Xiao's eyes like a firefly in the dark night.
Relying on his aura to block the warning range of the imprinting insects, Lu Xiao climbed up from the side of the Matong residence courtyard and entered through an open window on the second floor.
The lights were still on in this room, and a blue-haired child who was similar in age to Tohsaka Rin was concentrating on reading the magic book on the desk, unaware of Lu Xiao's hidden aura entering the room.
Lu Xiao asked Rin who was far away in Chancheng House through a directly connected contract: "Rin, who is this guy?"
"Matou Shinji is a hard-working person. Unfortunately, he is not born with the talent to be a magician. All his efforts are in vain."
At this time, Matou Shinji had not yet understood the true nature of the Matou family. He naively thought that he could gain recognition from his "grandfather" and inherit magic through hard work.
After thinking about it, Lu Xiao didn't kill Shen Er because of something that hadn't happened yet.
"Da~"
With a snap of his fingers, he struck out a blast of wind that hit Shenji's temple. The unsuspecting young Shenji immediately rolled his eyes and fainted, falling down on the desk.
Following the same pattern, he sneaked next door and knocked out Shinji's father Tsuruo. Lu Xiao increased his vigilance and headed towards the basement of Matou House.
"...This week, you will serve as a breeding ground for imprinting insects."
A voice that caused instinctive physical disgust came from the basement: "Hmph~ If you are lucky enough to survive, I will seriously consider your proposal."
"Da da~"
As the conversation ended, rhythmic slow footsteps went up the basement stairs.
In order to avoid triggering a magic alarm in the mansion, Lu Xiao did not draw the runes in advance, which were restricted by the Assassin job agency.
When Matou Zangyan walked to the corner, Lu Xiao suddenly stepped out and stabbed Zangyan's head with the hidden sword in his right hand.
"Bang!"
The hidden sword on Lu Xiao's right arm has the special effect of breaking all defenses. The magic defense Zang Yan subconsciously arranged outside his body was easily penetrated like paper, and the hidden sword directly penetrated the back of his head.
No blood flowed out from the area where Zang Yan was hit. When the hidden sword in Lu Xiao's left hand also penetrated his chest, Zang Yan's body suddenly broke into countless marking insects and fled in all directions.
But these bugs quickly slowed down on their way to escape, and their brown bodies gradually turned green. The infectious poison killed all the divided bugs.
"What a rare guest."
The sound of Zang Yan echoed in the insect warehouse, and Lu Xiao could not find the source of the sound for a moment.
"I didn't expect someone to summon a servant a year in advance, assassin? I'll give you a compliment for being able to break through the defenses I laid out so easily."
"But, you don't think you can kill me like this, do you?"
The imprinting insect that carries Zong Yan's soul hides in the dark to observe Lu Xiao's attributes as a heroic spirit.

"Hmph~ Hassan, one of the first generation of the Assassin Order, dares to invade the magician's workshop with such a weak ability. Your master must have underestimated the Matou family."
