Chapter 474: The Cruel Life of the Matou Family
“The Holy Grail War is about to begin… According to the rules, it should be the stage of selecting people now.”
In the Matou house, Matou Shinji stood in the room, looking at his father, Matou Tsuruno, who was sitting on the chair in the study, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone.
Although their “grandfather” Matou Zouken died in an accident ten years ago, causing the bugs in the Matou house to completely run away and be completely occupied by bugs.
But it is precisely because of the loss of Matou Zouken’s control that these bugs are left with only instincts, and there is not much difference between eliminating them and ordinary bugs.
Therefore, with the help of the police and firefighters, the bugs in the Matou house were almost completely eliminated, and the Matou house returned to the hands of the Matou family.
However, Matou Sakura had been taken away by Qinchuan, so in the end, only Matou Tsuruno and Matou Shinji were left living in the Matou house.
Since he was young, Shinji Matou has been proud of the fact that he was born into a magic family. However, he has almost no talent for magic, which makes him feel very inferior.
Especially Rin Tohsaka, who he admired at school. She and the Matou family are both one of the three major families in the Holy Grail War, but Rin Tohsaka is obviously the type with outstanding talent for magic.
This makes Shinji Matou even more ashamed in front of Rin Tohsaka. The strong inferiority complex makes him want to participate in the Holy Grail War to prove himself.
But… he has almost no talent for magic, so there is no possibility of being selected by the Holy Grail, even his father Matou Tsuruno.
“I think so… But that has nothing to do with us, Shinji.”
Matou Tsuruno’s voice is a little tired – although he is not completely without talent for magic, he is only a little better than Shinji Matou.
Even his deceased brother Matou Kariya is not as good as him.
So he has almost given up on the Matou family as a back-up for the magic family and started doing business instead – at least to maintain the Matou family.
But his son Matou Shinji obviously doesn’t think so.
After hearing Matou Tsuruno’s almost giving up voice, Matou Shinji’s expression suddenly became a little crazy.
He seemed to have expected Matou Tsuruno’s answer, so he almost took out something from his back without hesitation:
“No, father! We still have a chance! The magic of the Matou family has not been cut off!”
Matou Tsuruno was startled, looked up at the things in Matou Shinji’s hand, and then his expression changed.
Matou Shinji held a huge glass jar in his hand, which looked like the size of a kimchi jar.
But more importantly, in this glass jar, a large number of imprinted worms were cultivated – those imprinted worms were wriggling in the jar, which looked very disgusting.
“Shinji! Where did you get this!?”
Matou Tsuruno’s voice almost turned into a scream, and he looked at what Matou Shinji took out in disbelief.
He didn’t listenHe said that his son was still secretly breeding crested worms. Shouldn’t these worms have been wiped out by the police and firefighters ten years ago?
I heard that the Cathedral Church helped clean up the mess in the end, so that this matter did not cause too much commotion.
After all, it was obvious that the death of Matou Zouken was closely related to the Heroic Spirit. Since it was related to the Holy Grail War, the Cathedral Church would help cover it up.
But Matou Tsuruno didn’t expect that there seemed to be some fish that slipped through the net back then, and those missed worms were actually cultivated by Matou Shinji.
Although Matou Shinji’s magic talent is not very good, he seems to have unexpected talent in cultivation?
“A few years ago, I found these remaining worms in the basement… I have read the magic book of the Matou family. These are called crested worms.”
Matou Shinji’s expression was crazy, and he seemed to have lost his mind due to the stimulation.
The pride of being a magic family and the inferiority of not having magic talent, these two thoughts have been conflicting in Matou Shinji’s mind for years, making him extremely paranoid.
In the original work, Matou Sakura shared his attention as “other people’s children”, but now without Matou Sakura, Matou Shinji has obviously embarked on a more crazy path:
“These engraved worms can be implanted in the body to replace magic circuits… As long as I use this, I can qualify to participate in the Holy Grail War!”
“Are you crazy, Shinji!? It is indeed feasible to replace magic circuits with engraved worms, but that is to let the engraved worms eat your body in exchange for magic power!”
Matou Tsuruno slammed the table, stood up angrily, stared at Matou Shinji, and sternly refused.
Although Matou Tsuruno did not have much magic talent, he had read magic books and knew the role of engraved worms. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Ten years ago, Matou Kariya was implanted with a crest bug, and his entire body’s magic circuits were replaced by the crest bug, causing him to become no different from a dead person in just a few days.
Of course, he didn’t want his son to become like this.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as we get the Holy Grail… It’s an omnipotent wish-granting machine. As long as we get the Holy Grail, everything can be solved.”
Matou Shinji couldn’t listen to Matou Tsuruno’s words at this moment. His eyes were red, and he pinned all his hopes on the Holy Grail.
As long as we win the Holy Grail War, that Tosaka Rin will definitely not dare to look down on us…[]
If Qin Chuan were here, he would definitely tell Matou Shinji earnestly that there is no good end for licking dogs.
In the last Holy Grail War, the Matou family’s licker Matou Kariya had a very miserable end in both the original work and the mission world.
Whether it was Tousaka Aoi, Tousaka Rin, or Matou Sakura, if they were not deliberately mentioned at this time, they would probably not even remember the existence of Matou Kariya.
……
“So, you didn’t find anything when you went out this time?”
Qin ChuanLooking at Lenis in a maid outfit, being pressed on the back by another mercury maid in a maid outfit, she said with some amusement.
It seems that Lenis got nothing on this trip.
However, Qin Chuan could understand it. Fuyuki City is actually not small, and is even divided into two areas, Miyama Town and Shinto.
It is indeed unrealistic for Lenis to find other contestants so quickly.
“No way, I have used special means to find magicians… but there are fewer magicians in Fuyuki City than I thought.”
Lenis also sighed helplessly, and then looked at Qin Chuan
Perhaps because she gradually became familiar with Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan’s behavior of dressing her in a maid outfit just now also made her closer to Qin Chuan.
Her tone has become more casual now, not as reserved as at the beginning – this makes Renishi even cuter:
“And hasn’t Mr. Qinchuan finished investigating the three great families? The situation of the Tosaka family and the Einzbern family is indeed known, but what about the Matou family?”
Although the Matou family is now in a slump, it is still necessary to investigate.
For example, now in a corner unknown to Qinchuan and Renishi, Matou Shinji is doing a hard job for himself.
Although Matou Shinji doesn’t know that his “efforts” may not change the outcome, the job is indeed very hard. .
