Chapter 107 Madam, you don’t want to…
Although seeing her childhood sweetheart and husband act like that, Tohsaka Aoi somehow felt like she was wearing a hat of betrayal.
But seeing Tohsaka Tokiomi with a bruised face and torn clothes, she still felt pity and tears welled up in her eyes.
From the first time she met Tohsaka Tokiomi, he had always been steady and elegant, never losing his composure for anything, unlike his current, pitiful appearance as if he had been beaten by a horde of brawlers.
Even his beloved burgundy suit was torn to shreds, his hands clutching him with a trembling.
Now it was the dead of winter, the conference room hadn’t turned on the heating yet, and Tohsaka Tokiomi had just suffered a fatal injury, losing a lot of blood.
Undoing her coat to drape it over Tohsaka Tokiomi, Tohsaka Aoi was about to angrily reprimand Matou Kariya, but was interrupted first.
“Aoi, long time no see.”
As if he hadn’t noticed the anger on Tohsaka Aoi’s face, Matou Kariya waved his hand and gave her a bright smile.
This was the greeting they used to exchange every month when they met at the city park.
After a year of separation, Tohsaka Aoi suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
When did he build up such a muscular physique?
When she last saw him last year, he was still quite skinny.
And that burning, unrestrained sunlight smile also made Tohsaka Aoi feel familiar yet unfamiliar.
Familiar, because she was originally attracted to Matou Kariya’s smile.
For a young lady living in a big family, every move had to be in accordance with etiquette, feeling very stifled, this kind of energetic and wild temperament had an irresistible allure.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many young ladies being relentlessly pursued by gangsters.
However, Tohsaka Aoi couldn’t remember when, the smile on Matou Kariya’s face was no longer sunny, it became gloomy, melancholic, and forced.
Unfamiliar, was the smile Matou Kariya had now, it was even purer than Tohsaka Aoi remembered.
And it had shed many of its frivolous and childish aspects, like the calm and gentle sunlight of winter.
This smile inexplicably dissipated the anger that was about to explode in Tohsaka Aoi’s stomach.
“Kariya, you, what exactly do you want to do?”
Sadness appears on the delicate and dignified face, and a little sadness is added between the eyebrows and eyes, exuding a unique and amazing charm.
Whether it’s Noah or Scáthach, they both simultaneously stopped shoving snacks into their mouths, their eyes blinking in unison, sparkling with curiosity.
There’s no way around it, this 3-person composition is simply too, too, too indescribable!
The husband is stripped n*ked and pathetically huddled aside, while his wife, with eyes full of affection, stands with her back to him, watching the burly man beat him up.
And this wife happens to be the burly man’s childhood sweetheart.
Too immoral!
Too stimulating!
Too interesting, oh no, too over the top!
We should give them a good critique!
Looking at this childhood sweetheart, Matou Kariya found his heart surprisingly calm.
The excitement of wanting to express his feelings to her, the panic of fearing her rebuke, even the thrill of defeating Tohsaka Tokiomi… all of it vanished.
Whether it was his love for Tohsaka Aoi or his hatred for Tohsaka Tokiomi, at this moment, everything seemed to disappear, leaving only the anticipation for the upcoming battle.
At this point, he felt he could understand Noah’s desire to fight, to be free of all distractions.
……No woman in his heart, he draws his sword and becomes one with it!
Just because of his passion, focusing solely on one thing, he could feel true happiness.
“Aoi, being able to see yourself clearly is a rare and fortunate thing….”
Matou Kariya quietly gave Noah a grateful glance.
But Noah just wished he would finish talking quickly and have a good fight with Tohsaka Tokiomi.
Noah had defeated strong enemies many times before, but training someone to fight seemed to be a first for him.
Hmm, is this what it feels like to train a pawn?
“Aoi, there are many things I couldn’t tell you in the past, but explaining them now wouldn’t make much sense. All I need to tell you is, I’m going to defeat Tokiomi! Defeat this man who has made me feel inferior, envious, and jealous ever since I first met him!”
Matou Kariya’s eyes seemed to blaze with fire.
Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was feeling sorry for his mustache being messed up, widened his eyes upon hearing this.
What?
You and I have such a deep grudge?
How come I don’t know?
Aoi, who you gave up on the first time, is now so embarrassed to complain?
And, don’t you say so affectionately, okay?
It makes me get goosebumps all over my body!
He wanted to complain, curse, and cry, but he was all blocked back into his throat by Noah’s eyes.
I feel wronged, want to cry.
There is also Scáthach, you are a traitor.
Don’t think that I don’t know you’re watching a show when you pretend to eat!
Why are you two warriors so good to chat!
Shouldn’t you be beaten to death as soon as you meet?!
Tohsaka Tokiomi was so resentful that he almost used a Command Spell to have Scáthach take him away immediately, but in the end, he barely managed to suppress the urge with his rationality.
Kirei, oh Kirei!
Where are you?
Your revered master needs you!
“Whether you resent me or think me childish, it doesn’t matter. This time, I fight for myself. No matter the outcome, I will have no regrets!”
Matou Kariya’s resonant voice echoed through the Office, causing Tohsaka Aoi’s heart to race, her face to flush, and her mind to grow dizzy.
By the time she came to her senses and wanted to say something, she was horrified to find herself completely paralyzed, able to move only her eyes.
“You! Who are you?”
Tohsaka Tokiomi’s voice was a little shrill with fear upon seeing the cloaked woman suddenly appear beside him.
Then he quickly realized, could this be the last unsummoned Servant, Caster?
Eh, whose Servant is she?
Matou Kariya’s?
Tohsaka Tokiomi, who had thought Noah was Matou Kariya’s Servant, felt his mind short-circuit.
After casting a simple immobilizing Magecraft on Tohsaka Aoi, Medea (Caster) originally intended to leave directly.
After all, there was still an unnamed Lancer in the room who could suppress King Arthur, and the fierce Lancer made her feel a piercing pain in her chest, as if she could be impaled at any moment.
Besides the Saber with the highest Mana Attribute, the Lancer with the highest Agility Attribute was also very effective against Casters, perhaps even faster at killing them.
After all, when a Saber charges through a barrage of Magecraft, you can at least see how you die, but a Lancer’s spear thrust is truly a death that comes without warning.
But seeing Noah and the purple-haired girl eating snacks and watching a melodramatic show as if no one else mattered, Medea (Caster) suddenly felt a genuine irritation.
What’s the deal with these two individuals?
You’d think you two were friends for years!
This unyielding spirit allowed Medea (Caster) to momentarily shake off her fear, walking over to Noah’s side, snatching a half-eaten buttered roll from his hand, and stuffing it into her mouth to chew greedily like a large hamster.
Even with her hood and cloak on, Noah, who had seen her true face before, could easily picture her resentful expression in his mind.
What’s wrong with this woman now?
But before Noah could inquire further, Medea (Caster) let out a ‘hmph’ and turned her back to him, slightly lifting her face.
…She’s got issues.
With the spectacle before him, Noah couldn’t be bothered to deal with Medea (Caster), instead pulling out a large bag of snacks from behind him, sharing some with Scáthach before chewing with relish.
This woman was surprisingly compatible in conversation, leading Noah to decide that when it came time to battle, he would give it his all to defeat her.
Medea (Caster), glancing sidelong at the pair resuming their chat, gnashed her teeth audibly.
For no reason at all, she was simply irked!
With the entanglements between the 3 Servants, Tohsaka Tokiomi had no mind to interfere, as he was having trouble protecting himself at the moment.
After confirming that Aoi was merely immobilized, Tohsaka Tokiomi composed himself and fixed a grave gaze upon Matou Kariya.
“Kariya, what exactly are you trying to do?”
Matou Kariya smiled but said nothing, simply taking out a piece of paper and tossing it to Tohsaka Tokiomi.
It was a scroll of parchment, naturally carrying some heft, but with a simple manipulation of Air Flow, it floated over like a jellyfish, landing gently in Tohsaka Tokiomi’s hand.
The scroll contained an array of symbols and markings, a combination that made little sense.
But for a Magus like Tohsaka Tokiomi, the contents were immediately discernible.
“A Self-Imposed Commandment?”
In a world of deceit and cunning among Magi, this was one of the most stringent and effective, yet least used methods, only employed when setting unbreakable vows.
Since it functions through the Magic Circuit of the practitioner, even if the practitioner dies, the Magic Crest is inherited and used, the soul remains bound and unable to be released.
Such an absolute spell is rarely used due to its danger, for with word games common in all civilizations, one never knows if there are any loopholes.
Even Tohsaka Tokiomi himself had seen it only a few times.
But after the inspection, he could confirm that this was indeed the most formal, complete written form.
The signature written in blood by the oath-taker himself, that fluctuating Mana couldn’t be faked.
The content of this document was simple.
Duel, if Tohsaka Tokiomi loses, then he forfeits all Command Spells and withdraws from the Holy Grail War.
If Matou Kariya loses, then as a caster Master, he will be Tohsaka Tokiomi’s ally and help him obtain the Holy Grail, until he loses his Master identity.
“Kariya, are you serious? Why would you do this?”
Matou Kariya did not answer, but pointed to Noah beside him.
“This has nothing to do with you, you just need to consider whether to accept or not. If I lose, this one will also become your ally.”
Following Matou Kariya’s finger, Tohsaka Tokiomi saw Noah wave at him.
In an instant, all resentment, confusion, and entanglement were thrown out of his mind.
The future where he would possess 3, no, 4 Servants appeared before Tohsaka Tokiomi’s eyes, to the point that he was almost intoxicated.
Hahaha, the supervisor is mine, with 4 out of 7 Servants under my command, how could I possibly lose?
Not to mention there’s a Servant who can suppress King Arthur even when her Attribute is poor, beating the King of Heroes to a pulp.
Now it has reached the dream-level Servant with full A Attribute?
What kind of King of Heroes, King Arthur, Ruler, all of them get gang-banged to death!
Could the Tohsaka Household’s 5-generation wish be fulfilled in my hands?
That future was so beautiful, that when Tohsaka Tokiomi came to his senses, he found himself drooling a bit.
“You, are you sure?!”
“Do you think this kind of person would need to deceive you?”
Matou Kariya did not provide any concrete evidence, but Tohsaka Tokiomi chose to believe him.
All in!
After giving away all of the Tohsaka Household’s assets and even their house was reduced to ruins, I now have nothing left to lose!
Now, I am incredibly strong!
And even if you can’t get berserker, even if you can have an extra caster, it will be extremely beneficial in this battle!
After checking it 3 times again, Tohsaka Tokiomi signed the contract!
Although he didn’t feel anything, his consciousness was slightly tense, as if an invisible restraint had been placed on him in an instant.
Considering Tohsaka Tokiomi had just gone through a fierce battle with Kenneth, Noah gave him a specially prepared potion to recover his Body.
One sip, and his mind was refreshed!
Two sips, and all fatigue was gone!
Three sips, and his strength was at its peak!
Four sips… he dared not drink anymore, or his Mana would explode.
Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly felt his Body was restored, his Mana was abundant, and he wasn’t even afraid of the cold, so he took off his wife’s coat directly.
“Come on, Kariya! You outsmarted me earlier, but in a real Magecraft battle, you won’t have any chance!”
Inside the Office, where Medea (Caster) had set up a Barrier, Tohsaka Tokiomi and Matou Kariya circled each other, looking for an opening.
“To be honest, I don’t understand why you returned to Fuyuki City. Weren’t you trying to escape your family responsibilities and ran away to wander outside?”
In the past, Matou Kariya had left Fuyuki City because he refused to accept the Matou Family’s Magic Crest and his own Magecraft talent, which Tohsaka Tokiomi despised.
In his opinion, this was no different from wasting the sacrifices and efforts of his ancestors.
If Matou Kariya had returned to reclaim Sakura or to hear about the Holy Grail’s ability to grant any wish, Tohsaka Tokiomi could understand.
But earlier, he had declared that his goal was only to defeat Tohsaka Tokiomi himself and didn’t need the Holy Grail.
This left Tohsaka Tokiomi perplexed.
This question had the intention of both psychological attack and seeking answers.
However, Matou Kariya didn’t respond to Tohsaka Tokiomi’s question and suddenly burst out laughing.
An opening!
Seizing the opportunity, Tohsaka Tokiomi swung his only Magecraft Equipment… the Scepter.
With the Flame Technique engraved on the Magecraft Equipment, Tohsaka Tokiomi freely wielded the abundant Mana within him, unleashing a wave of flames towards Matou Kariya.
Matou Kariya didn’t flinch, blue Magecraft light surged around him, and he recklessly broke through, raising his right fist and slamming it toward Tohsaka Tokiomi.
Though Noah was looking forward to a proper clash, watching these weaklings peck at each other quickly bored him.
He sauntered over to Tohsaka Aoi’s side.
“Ma’am, you wouldn’t want to…”
