Back to last night, Tohsaka Rin looked at the dark clouds in the sky. The dark colors piled up, firmly blocking the limited moonlight. The neon lights brought by the artificial light sources everywhere in the city Not only did the color fail to fill this point, but it made it look more like a demon city.
So is Fuyuki City at night so scary?
The cold night wind blew across her face, causing Tohsaka Rin to shiver subconsciously and tighten her red coat.
But obviously, there was another person in her who was completely opposite to her thoughts.
"Ah, it's really amazing. It deserves to be a modern city. Don't be stunned. Move quickly and find the largest wealth exchange place in this city. As long as I show a little bit of power, those mortals will definitely rush to give me gifts. It’s for worship!”
"How could I have known such a place when I was in elementary school! Besides, aren't you a goddess? You're too vulgar!"
Although he was afraid of the late-night city, Tohsaka Rin still showed a majestic temperament when facing the off-line goddess.
Last night, while sleeping, Tohsaka Rin vaguely heard such a sound.
"I am the goddess Ishtar. The goddess of beauty who rules Venus. Feel free to respect, fear, and worship me."
I originally thought it was just a fantasy, but when I woke up in the morning and saw my changed body and the strange weapon floating around, Tohsaka Rin realized that he seemed to be involved in the Holy Grail War, and... For some unknown reason, he was possessed by the legendary goddess Ishtar.
Why did it become like this... It was the first time I participated in the Holy Grail War, and it was the first time I had a Servant I could rely on. Two happy things coincided with each other. And these two joys bring me more happiness. What we got was supposed to be a happy time like a dream... But why did it become like this...
To make Rin Tosaka, who is still in elementary school, sigh in such a mature way is all thanks to Ishtar.
This goddess has no interest in the Holy Grail War, nor does she want to take the initiative to take away the Holy Grail. She only wants to build her own temple and accept offerings from humans. Not only that, but maybe because of her personality, in many things, she It seemed quite unreliable. In order to cover up the traces left unconsciously by the other party, Tohsaka Rin felt that he was exhausted mentally and physically.
The most irritating thing is that this goddess has no awareness that she is troublesome!
"I can't help it. Who made you so poor? In this cruel world, only treasure can bring me a little warmth."
"Ugh, are you really a goddess if you are counting on the savings of a primary school student?"
Tohsaka Rin's cheeks bulged, and she tightly covered the small bag in her clothes. It contained the gems she had saved since she was a child, but because she had not officially started her career yet, the number was not large. Even so, it was still a very good sum. of wealth.
"I don't mean now! I'm a goddess, so I still have some common sense. What I mean is that both you and I fatally lack the attribute of the Golden Rule."
Tohsaka Rin threw his head to the side, a questioning expression on his face.
Although she didn't have much contact with her family's property, she was still conscious of the fact that she was a well-known family in Fuyuki City. Various real estates and various strange incomes made it possible for the Tohsaka family to maintain a very expensive home. While practicing gem magic, she can also live a prosperous life. Will she be short of money in the future?
"Why, don't you believe my vision! I am the goddess Ishtar!"
"Who would believe the words of a goddess who has an eye for money?"
"Ahhh!" In Tohsaka Rin's mind, Ishtar yelled a little frantically, "In the end, it's all because of you that I became like this! The perfect compatibility between us makes My personality has been affected by you! The original me should be more dignified and cold!"
"Humph, you suddenly took away the control of my body and talked about those things to yourself. I haven't blamed you yet."
According to Ishtar, he and Ishtar are now special beings called pseudo-servants. In order for both parties to live normally, Rin controls them during the day and leaves them to Ishtar at night.
At first, Tohsaka Rin flatly refused this condition, but the other party put forward a condition that made her heartbeat.
In exchange for gaining control of the body at night, Tohsaka Rin can use the power of Ishtar as a servant to accomplish some things he wants to do.
"First of all, let's agree that after watching the little girl named Sakura, you will immediately hand over your body to me until you go to school tomorrow. The note you left for your mother, Aoi, was dismissed with the excuse of going to school first. It's done. After this incident, the rest will be my time!”
"I know, let's agree first, don't do anything weird with my body."
Tohsaka Rin replied somewhat gloomily that it was precisely because she could rely on the power of her servants that she ignored her father's ban and came to the dangerous battlefield of Fuyuki City alone.
Because she had a reason to come.
Since Sakura was sent away, she has never seen her sister again. Although her father said that this is the best way out for Sakura, and sternly warned her that she should not regard Sakura as her sister in the future, but The heir to the Matou family who must be kept at a distance.
The stubborn Tohsaka Rin refused to completely obey this point. Even if he couldn't contact him, he could just take a look from a distance, which should be fine.
Tohsaka Rin recalled what happened when he first got off the train. Uncle Kariya was completely different from what he remembered. He looked thin and weak, like a zombie in a horror movie.
Although the other party's attitude was as kind as usual, he put her on the tram and left after a few warnings, she still felt the chill from the bottom of her heart.
According to the few words I got from asking my mother before, Uncle Kariya has returned to the Matou family.
Will the Matou family's demonic ways turn people into this?
Even though he knew that magicians were a group of paranoid and twisted people, and there were very few magicians as good as his father, Rin Tohsaka still felt trembling when he really came into contact with other magicians.
"We have to go and see how Sakura is doing."
The innate justice and kindness make Tohsaka Rin unable to let go of her own sister. Even if she has to break many taboos, she must get the answer.
"Boring humans are always looking for trouble. I advise you not to have too high hopes. The man we met before has a body full of disgusting bugs. If you enter such a family, It won’t end well.”
"You don't need to say anything..." Tohsaka Rin looked at the Matou house in front of him. The dark iron gate and the old-fashioned building couldn't see a trace of light. If a horror movie uses this place as a filming location, it won't even have a set.
But for Tohsaka Rin, Matou House has another meaning.
This is the magic workshop that has been passed down by the Matou family for hundreds of years. Invading without permission would be the same as declaring war. But even so, thinking of Uncle Kariya's tragic corpse-like condition, Tohsaka Rin could not stop himself.
——This is what she must do.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her fear and insecurity. As the heir to the Tohsaka family, she must always remain elegant.
But at the moment when the iron door was about to be pushed open, Rin Tohsaka, as a little girl, couldn't help but seek comfort from her only support.
"Ishtar, I can use your power."
"Of course! Although we have not yet merged and exist as one body and two souls, as the master who has made a contract with me, the relationship between us is very strong. According to the knowledge given by the Holy Grail, in the words of this country Say, we are aibo!"
"Thank you," Tohsaka Rin said with a reassuring expression, "That's right, you are the goddess of war. In the mythology book in my father's study, the bull of heaven you released is a powerful mythical beast. The Matou family If there is a real threat to the place where you are planting, you can crush it with just one foot."
"this one……"
Suddenly, Ishtar showed an awkward yet polite expression and fell into a guilty silence.
"?"
Tohsaka Rin's face turned pale, "Ishtar, you can't..."
"I lost it accidentally, hey!"
"Hey, you're so big! Ah, I really can't trust you!"
"How can you blame me! Logically speaking, I am the only one in this modern world, but when I went to borrow Gu Jialana, I found that it had already been borrowed. It is very unreasonable! But it doesn't matter, there is no such thing , I am also an invincible goddess!"
"Who did you learn from to lose your ability at critical moments? No matter what! I'm going in!"
Tohsaka Rin shouted in her mind, giving up on herself, as if accepting her fate, she opened the door of Matou's house, which was like a devil's cave.
