Chapter 209 Hidden Mission



Chapter 209 Hidden Mission

"Once you've met enough people, you'll realize that there are all sorts of people in this world, and there are quite a few like Kirei Kotomine who derive pleasure from destroying other people's happiness."

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, Box Guy's notification sounded in his mind.

[Hidden quest triggered by the box: A gift at parting]

[Mission Information: You are about to leave this world, but the traces you leave behind will be remembered by your companions. Before you depart, perhaps you can leave something of real value for those who remember you.]

[Task Reward: The more you send, the more you get back (bug exploit) - ineffective]

"A super 100x return system? When did you start offering this service, Box Bro?"

Upon hearing about the reward for this mission, Lin Yu immediately thought of those treasure-giving and-return systems that rewarded players with Rank 9 items and returned Rank 1 items, causing their strength to skyrocket. But this card... is it a bug? Is it targeting him?

Although he had already planned a series of crazy moves, he didn't intend to use them himself. Can't there be some trust between people and the box? Does he look like someone who would exploit bugs?

Box Bro:

【╭n╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭n╮】

“…”

"Okay, okay, there was indeed a tiny bit of bug-exploiting behavior, but there's nothing I can do about it, it wasn't intentional," Lin Yu joked.

"Archer, what are you laughing at? You're laughing so happily," Rin Tohsaka asked.

"I don't want to, I ...'m not interested."

Lin Yu didn't want to waste any more words and directly refused three times in a row, which stunned Rin Tohsaka.

"Hmph! Fine, don't tell me then!"

Rin Tohsaka immediately retorted, and she began to compete with Lin Yu, but this also helped her to pull herself out of her previous emotions and no longer be trapped by sadness.

"Buzz!"

Lin Yu snapped his fingers, using his telekinesis to lift the ground and bury Kirei Kotomine's body deep into the earth.

"Archer? What are you doing?"

Lin Yu's action startled Rin Tohsaka, who then questioned him.

"So you're going to put the body in the church? Do you think the police or church people won't arrest you? Don't you think about that?"

Lin Yu reminded Rin Tohsaka that this world is not a shallow place, and leaving a corpse is not a wise choice. Behind every life, there are almost many people involved, let alone Kirei Kotomine. When will the cycle of revenge end? Unless you eliminate the root of the problem, troubles will only increase, and problems will only increase, eventually leading to death at the hands of someone you have never met.

"..."

Listening to Lin Yu's words, Rin Tohsaka fell silent. She had experienced the darkness of the magician world when she was a child. Some magicians did not treat ordinary humans as human beings at all and conducted various experiments on them.

Although she has connections within the Tohsaka family and wields some influence in Fuyuki City, the Tohsaka family isn't particularly outstanding in the grand scheme of magic. It's only thanks to the Jewel Cube that the Tohsaka family seems somewhat special.

In addition, Tokiomi Tohsaka's hard work and excellence contributed to the Tohsaka family, which allowed Rin Tohsaka to establish herself and prevent the Tohsaka family from being regarded as just a lineage of magicians' disciples.

The Mage's Association would also give preferential treatment, but it was only preferential treatment. The Tohsaka family was able to control the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City because they had people in the church and the Mage's Association. Unfortunately, by the time it came to Rin Tohsaka, most of these miscellaneous connections had disappeared. As for why, let's just blame it on Tokiomi Tohsaka. He died before he could explain things clearly, and the person in charge of his funeral was Kirei Kotomine, who killed him.

Although Rin Tohsaka gave Kyshua Zelrich Schbein'ogu hope that the Tohsaka family could complete their "homework," she also lost the inheritance of their family line.

“Let’s go. Rin, pretend none of this ever happened. Kirei Kotomine’s death has nothing to do with you. Just pretend he never existed in your life.”

Lin Yu gently patted Rin Tohsaka's shoulder, comforting her. Although facing such a cruel reality was indeed too heavy for a 17-year-old girl, learning to face these things in this world full of magic and struggle was a compulsory course for every magician's growth. Moreover, compared to the Crimson and Dark worlds, it was difficult for ordinary people to be happy; the whole world was dark.

“…”

Rin Tohsaka did not respond, but she still followed Lin Yu out of the church. The two did not speak along the way, because Rin Tohsaka was clearly preoccupied.

Back home, Rin Tohsaka tried to compose herself and regain her usual strength, not wanting her low spirits to affect her younger sister.

"I'll go check on Sakura," Rin Tohsaka said softly.

“I’ll go with you,” Lin Yu replied.

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel moved. Although Rin Tohsaka had many shortcomings, she could always do things that ordinary people could hardly do, such as bearing negative emotions alone and not letting her family be affected.

Of course, she has many other strengths that make her character more realistic. She's not a perfect rich girl; she's more like a slightly arrogant girl next door who's very close to you.

Despite her seemingly ordinary personality, this "girl next door" has nicknames like "spending expert," "jewel terminator," and "muscle maniac Rin" in her daily life, and her spending is so high that it is difficult for ordinary people to afford.

But Rin Tohsaka never needs anyone to share these burdens for her. She is a shrewd and independent "life expert" who is good at budgeting and is a sophisticated girl.

“You’re finally back, sister.”

Sakura Matou lay on the bed, still very weak. When she heard Rin Tohsaka's voice, she tried to struggle to get up and greet her, but she was too weak and could only call out softly.

Rin Tohsaka quickly stepped forward and gently pressed down on Sakura Matou, who was trying to get up, so that she could lie down on the bed peacefully.

"Don't worry, Sakura, we have won the final victory, and the Holy Grail has been completely destroyed."

"This will never happen again. Fuyuki City can finally return to peace."

Rin Tohsaka sat by the bed, gently comforting her younger sister and telling her everything she knew so far. The Holy Grail War had finally come to an end.

Of course, Rin Tohsaka was unaware of the Holy Grail Wars that occurred in other parallel worlds or timelines, as well as the various derivative sub-species Holy Grail Wars, because those things were irrelevant to her; she only had this one timeline, this one world.

At this moment, Sakura Matou had already turned her attention to Lin Yu, because Rin Tohsaka had told her that Rider Medusa had returned to the Throne of Heroes. But at first, seeing that Lin Yu, the Archer, was still there, Sakura Matou thought that the Holy Grail War was not over yet. After all, Lin Yu, as a Servant, was still here, which made her very confused.

Although Rin Tohsaka explained, Sakura Matou was still confused, since Rin Tohsaka had summoned someone who didn't even exist in this world.
