In the study room of Matou's house, Sakura Matou sat opposite Shinji Matou, looking at her brother with some curiosity.
"This is not called being in a daze, Sakura."
Matou Shinji did not raise his head, but just turned a page of the book, a strand of burgundy hair on his forehead shaking with his head.
"Reading is not just about reading the words above, you have to delve into the things behind the words."
"Understanding is the best way to practice magic."
"Is that so?" Sakura nodded, still a little confused.
There was silence for a long time, and the only sound of turning books was heard in the study.
"However, it seems that your mind is not on studying."
Matou Shinji raised his head and smiled at Matou Sakura.
"Um"
Matou Sakura didn't hide anything, she just pursed her lips and nodded.
"I had a nightmare last night, and I thought of my father. Now I feel a little bit, no, it's the head of the Tohsaka family."
Matou Sakura is indeed the daughter of Tokiomi Tosaka, but now she has been adopted to Matou Kariya. Whether in the magic world or the secular world, the person she should call "father" should be Matou Kariya.
It's no longer Tokiomi Tosaka.
"The Matou family does not have such rules. No matter what, the head of the Tosaka family is still your father." Matou Shinji smiled. He felt that his sister seemed a bit too restrained.
"Anyway, we've been sitting here long enough. Let's go out for a walk."
Putting down the book, Matou Shinji rubbed his neck with his hands.
Sakura showed a happy expression.
"Um!"
I left the room and walked into the yard. I said I was going out to relax, but in fact I was just playing in the yard.
In other words, we can only play in the yard.
Currently, Fuyuki City is still in the midst of the Holy Grail War. Although life is still going on as usual, the Matou family, as one of the parties participating in the war, has to impose martial law.
As the head of the family, Matōkaku did not use the house where his family had lived for generations as a stronghold, because this would obviously increase the safety of the ancestral house and the safety of the two children living in the ancestral house.
Matōkaku had also stocked up quite a lot of supplies at home. Even if the Holy Grail War lasted for a year, he would be able to survive with his two children and an old man safe and sound.
Of course, the Holy Grail War will not end so slowly.
Compared with the peaceful situation of the past few days, the things that happened in the past two days were too many and too intense.
"I don't know if my father is okay."
Although she was playing around in the sun, Sakura never looked interested.
"The Holy Grail War has officially begun. I got the news from my father. It seems that the first Servant to withdraw has appeared."
Wagging his fingers, Matou Shinji performed his gem magic. This was a kind of entertainment and entertainment for him, and it could also be regarded as a kind of exercise.
What he said attracted Matou Sakura's attention.
"Ah, which servant is exiting?"
There was a hint of worry in her eyes.
"It's Berserker. His real name is Ibaraki Doji. His master is also dead. According to my father, Berserker's master is the perpetrator of the recent murder case in Fuyuki City."
Mentioning Ryuunosuke Ubu, Matou Shinji's eyes couldn't help but show disgust and coldness.
He is a member of the Matou family.
He hates people who don't understand the beauty and preciousness of life.
"Is this so"
The young Sakura Matou breathed a sigh of relief.
Her idea is very simple, it would be better if she is not her father.
"Brother, this is so cute."
Nothing happened to her father. After the little girl calmed down, her attention quickly shifted. She caught a magic frog made by Shinji Matou and looked at Shinji Matou curiously.
"Guotai, I thought you would like kittens and puppies more, Sakura."
Matou Shinji scratched his head, used his liquid gem magic to create a kitten and a puppy, and placed them on the ground.
It's a pity that it can't make "meow" or "woof" sounds, otherwise it would really be a good playmate.
"Yeah! Sakura likes it too!"
Matou He was also standing on the second floor, looking at the two children playing on the lawn, and couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile.
For the Saber group, the base needs to be moved.
But for now, it cannot be transferred.
Jiuyu Wu was seriously injured and needed to be healed. Only if there were enough supplies in the castle could he be cured.
"In this case, it doesn't matter for now."
Kuu Maiya's chin was wrapped in a bandage and he was lying on the bed, not yet regaining consciousness.
Her right wrist was broken, her jaw was broken, and there were two puncture wounds. It was hard to imagine that these injuries were sustained within two or three encounters with Kotomine Kirei.
Seeing this scene, Emiya Kiritsugu felt a little heavy.
"."
Emiya Kiritsugu shouted to Anno, and then walked towards the door.
"Ai Li, you take care of Maiya here first."
"Ah, Kiritsugu"
Watching Emiya Kiritsugu and Anno walk out of the room, Irisviel put a hand on her chest with a worried expression.
"Archer is a big problem."
In the Battle of Miyokawa, Emiya Kiritsugu had a clear view of the duel between Gilgamesh and Anno. At that time, Gilgamesh could not defeat Anno at all, but this time after preparing the opponent,
I fought with Annuo for a long time without a winner.
Obviously, this was something unexpected. Even Annuo did not expect that Gilgamesh would use the Heavenly Lock and Heavenly Key so decisively.
"War requires preparation. We can no longer be a passive party, Master."
Annuo stood behind Emiya Kiritsugu and said thoughtfully.
But Emiya Kiritsugu did not immediately answer Anno's words.
He lit a cigarette, stood in the sun with some discomfort, and took a puff silently.
After blowing out the smoke ring, Emiya Kiritsugu closed his eyes.
"Saber, are you still willing to fight for my dream?"
"If I didn't recognize your dream, I wouldn't stand in this place and talk to you, Master."
Anno walked to Emiya Kiritsugu's side and looked at the mess outside the castle with him.
Yesterday's three-way battlefield completely destroyed the outside of the castle, and the interior was also severely damaged.
"Your ideal is a lofty ideal, but forget it, I think what you need now is not my preaching."
"My preaching will not change you at all."
The many things he has seen in his long life have made him the Emiya Kiritsugu he is today.
His faith may be shaken, but not through words alone.
"After Maiya wakes up, I will ask her to find a new stronghold. During this period, I hope you will take Irisviel and find a temporary residence for the time being."
