Chapter 93: Script of Shinji



Chapter 93: Script of Shinji

Shinji's actions were not without reason. Although tonight's events were sudden and beyond Shinji's control, the final part was planned by him, aiming for a cliché but effective "hero saves the heroine" scenario.

Now that Aoi, Rin, and Sakura have safely escaped, let us take a god's-eye view and retrace the entire course of events.

First, Rin, concerned about her friend Kotone, left a note and ran away from home to Fuyuki City, intending to find her, even if it meant risking her life.

An hour later, Aoi discovered the note left by her daughter, filled with anxiety. After careful consideration, she decided to call the Matou family and seek the help of her childhood friend, Kariya Matou. However, she learned from Sakura that Kariya was not at home, so she had no choice but to drive alone to Fuyuki City to search for her daughter.

Meanwhile, Rin had already arrived in Fuyuki City and began investigating suspicious locations guided by her magical energy compass.

The clever Sakura, using the large-scale communication ritual established in the underground workshop by Scáthach, which covered the entire Fuyuki City through the leylines, managed to establish contact with Shinji and Kariya, who were currently in the underground sewer fighting against magical creatures.

After some analysis, Shinji decided to split their forces into three groups. Scáthach would return home, pick up Sakura, and then drive to the center of Miyama Town. Shinji would fly directly, while Kariya, accompanied by Berserker, would hurry to the designated location.

When the uncle and niece arrived in Miyama Town, Rin had not yet encountered the serial killer, Ryūnosuke Uryū, but that didn't matter. Both of them had only been studying magecraft for a year and didn't understand wide-range detection magecraft or prophecy-related magecraft. They could only resort to the most straightforward method of searching separately.

Unfortunately, Miyama Town was quite large, with many construction sites and underground passages where people could easily hide. It wasn't until Scáthach arrived at Miyama Town Station with Sakura in a speeding car that they still hadn't found Rin.

Then, Scáthach began using divination magecraft, using Sakura as a medium to locate Rin through their sisterly connection.

With their shared bloodline and five years of living together, the intertwined karma, Scáthach quickly pinpointed Rin's location and swiftly headed to the bar street with Sakura.

At this time, Rin had already rushed into the underground bar and engaged in a battle of wits with Ryūnosuke. She almost destroyed the bracelet with a powerful suggestive magecraft left by Caster, rendering it useless. She also let Caster know that his Master was in danger.

Although Caster was not with Ryūnosuke at the moment, he had left magical creatures behind. As soon as something happened to Ryūnosuke, he activated these hidden magical creatures lurking in the depths of the underground sewer, still undiscovered until now, and used the "Clairvoyance" magecraft to lock onto his target.

Clairvoyance has two meanings. One is the innate skill or talent possessed by Heroic Spirits, and the other is a high-level observation-type magecraft. Here, it refers to the latter. The magic's effect is to transcend distance restrictions and observe a designated location. The range and accuracy depend on the magi's level of skill and magical energy consumption. Caster used this magecraft to observe the battle on Warehouse Street, and Irisviel observed the invaders in the castle.

Soon, Rin encountered the magical creatures and was terrified by their extraordinary magical power, unable to move. Thanks to Sakura's timely arrival and the "bombs" made of flame runes, she managed to injure the magical creatures and save her sister.

Caster wouldn't let the opportunity slip away. He gathered all the magical creatures lurking underground and in the Underside River, chasing after the two young girls. This was his prepared countermeasure against Scáthach's pursuit and the world line deviation that worried Shinji the most. Fortunately, this time, he had enough combat power to deal with it.

Because Shinji had given orders in advance, under no circumstances should Assassin's connection to the Matou family be exposed. Therefore, Scáthach remained in her spiritual form, secretly commanding Sakura while also informing Shinji and Kariya.

Rin and Sakura finally managed to escape to the City Park, where their mother, Aoi, also found them.

Unexpectedly, Caster's hidden magical creatures were not only in the underground sewer but also at the bottom of the Mion River.

The City Park was built along the river, and the magical creatures hidden underwater emerged one by one, surrounding the three of them. In the end, they cornered them at the entrance of the parking lot.

However, Kariya and Shinji acted faster than Caster. They were waiting near the parking lot in advance.

Yes, they arrived at the park almost at the same time as Aoi.

After confirming Shinji and Kariya's arrival, Scáthach left Sakura's side and returned to the bar street, hoping to find Caster and Ryūnosuke Uryū. She hadn't forgotten Shinji's request that these two murderers must die.

Then the command was handed over to Shinji. He saw through Caster's plan and wrote a simple but practical script.

The script was straightforward. Caster prepared a monster for the three of them to encounter, so they would wait for them to enter, and when they felt helpless, at the critical moment, a hero would come to the rescue.

Because there was more than one layer of the monster, the first layer was at the entrance of the parking lot, and the second layer was inside the parking lot.

So, Shinji would save them the first time, and Kariya the second time.

The first half of the script went smoothly, just like in many classic scenes. Aoi and Rin were both prepared to sacrifice themselves to ensure the safety of their loved ones. At the critical moment, the protagonist, Shinji, appears and saves the beautiful woman from danger, earning a surge of goodwill.

Unexpectedly, Kariya messed up the second half of the script.

It was supposed to be the three of them escaping the jaws of the tiger and entering the wolf's den, a dramatic shift from hope to despair. This would have been enough to make anyone collapse.

But at this moment, the hero and savior, Kariya, descended from the sky, displaying great power. The surge in goodwill would be even greater and faster than before.

In the end, the hero, under the guise of protection, brought Rin and Aoi back to the Matou family. And after that...

Hehehe, hahaha.

It's better to be understood than spoken. Let's see how Kariya chooses instead of talking about it.

Perfect, perfect!

To Tokiomi, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your wife for being the person my uncle has liked since childhood. Blame it on the fact that my surname is Matou, not Tohsaka.

As Shinji watched the three of them leave, he said these words in his heart.

Then, Kariya delivered a harsh slap to him through his actions.

Thinking about this, Shinji became furious.

"Uncle, what did I tell you? I told you not to rush out, to wait until they see the magical creatures surrounding the car and their hopes are shattered before coming out to save the day! But what did you do? You let Berserker destroy the magical creatures in advance and made a declaration that you thought was very manly."

"Uh... They had already experienced enough fright tonight, and I was worried... Besides, I didn't want them to have even the slightest possibility of encountering danger," Kariya said weakly. Judging by his tone, he was the nephew, and Shinji was the uncle.

"Fine, let's forget about that," Shinji sighed and continued to scold his uncle. "I asked you to bring Aoi and Rin back to the Matou family. It was the perfect opportunity to comfort Aoi. But what did you do? You let them go back to the Zenjou family and even took Sakura with them."

"I didn't want to take advantage of their vulnerability, and...," Kariya smiled bitterly, his face filled with helplessness. "I understand Aoi. She's a typical traditional woman. Since she married Tokiomi, she would never betray her husband... I didn't want to force her. I just want... her to be happy for the rest of her life."

"Well, those are classic lines... Uncle... You truly are a perfect man, huh? No, just a spare tire."

Shinji was frustrated beyond words.

"Have you ever heard the saying 'With a good home, no corner of the wall is unscalable'? And don't forget, we're in the midst of the dangerous Holy Grail War. Even geniuses like Kenneth from the Clock Tower have become useless. Don't you think something unexpected could happen to Tokiomi Tohsaka?"

Goldy, don't disappoint me. Uncle's happiness lies with you.
