I’m a fox girl, I took over the job of the Night Demon Queen

This made Tohsaka Tokiomi feel very relieved, but what he didn’t know was…

Times have long since changed.

No, it should be said that nothing has changed. Those magicians who are obsessed with entering the root are always so pathetic and inhumane. They will do anything to get a glimpse of the opportunity to enter the root.

The cold air spread, freezing all the dense insects on the ground, walls, and in the air that tried to approach her. Jiang Lan showed a look of disgust on her face, and a strong feeling of nausea surged in her abdomen.

Contrary to what Tōsaka Tokiomi knew, the elegant and gorgeous butterfly magic of the Matou family hundreds of years ago had already evolved into disgusting bug magic as the head of the family, Matou Zouken, continued to commit evil deeds in order to prolong his life.

Since destroying the magic barrier and entering the Matou residence, countless engraved insects have swarmed out from every corner of this decaying house and launched a frantic attack on Jiang Lan.

Unfortunately, judging by the results, no insect could break through the coldness around Jiang Lan. Jiang Lan easily broke through several lines of defense and came to the door of the basement without even lifting a finger. So far, the only trauma she had suffered was the mental attack.

Looking at the crawling black waves, goose bumps appeared on her arms. It was the first time that Jiang Lan realized that she had a mild case of trypophobia.

However, this probably does not mean that one is psychologically weak. No matter who it is, they will tremble at the first sight of this scene.

Inside the giant pit, countless engraved insects were crawling on the backs of their companions, occupying all the ground and walls where they could stand, making creepy hissing sounds. Everything was so weird and terrifying.

And in the very center of the pit, the naked body of a young child was being ravaged by insects. An ordinary person would be so scared that he would scream heart-wrenchingly when faced with such a scene, but Sakura, a five-year-old girl, did not do that.

Because I have already gotten used to it, I have become desperate and no longer have any expectations.

Not only the body, but also the heart was eaten.

“cherry……”

With a pain in her heart, Jiang Lan summoned [Blue Lightning] and was about to split the swarm of insects to rescue her. At this time, the insects gathered in front of Jiang Lan, and a swarm of insects condensed into the ugly figure of Matou Zouken who was about to decay.

“Little girl from the Einzbern family, I wonder what brings you to my Matou residence?”

Last night, when Jiang Lan killed the assassin and revealed the fact that he was a servant, Matou Kariya had already evacuated, and the bugs that Matou Zouken left behind to check the battle situation were secretly dealt with by Jiang Lan who was well prepared, so at this moment he still knew nothing about Jiang Lan’s strength.

It was precisely because of this that Tong Zou Yan did not slip away immediately when Jiang Lan arrived, but confronted her head-on.

In his opinion, she was just an ignorant girl and there was nothing for her to be afraid of or worried about.

And soon, he will pay the price for his carelessness.

“Three hundred years is too long to live as a human being. The little girl who let me get in through the back door is also very dissatisfied with you, so I came to help her.”

While smiling, Jiang Lan’s blue eyes were filled with endless murderous intent.

#Save our poor Sakura. #

32. The Second Sword

“I saved you, but you don’t even want to call me mom. Oh, I’m really going to cry.”

Although he is concerned about Sakura and accepted the magic he had been avoiding in order to save her, he mastered it quickly within a year and summoned a berserker despite the heart-wrenching pain of being bitten by countless crest bugs. However, facing her directly would only bring pain to the poor man Matou Kariya.

The two daughters of Aoi, whom he loved and whom he swore to protect, were used as insect sacrifices by their grandfather. They lost their virginity, their feelings, and everything they once had. In order to escape the pain, Kariya did not return to the mansion after the battle last night.

And now, after realizing that the defenses in the mansion had been breached and someone had taken advantage of the situation to break in, Kariya immediately rushed back like crazy.

“cherry!”

He shouted loudly the moment he stepped into the mansion, but what he saw in his panic was such a beautiful scenery.

The rotten mansion that was once full of bugs and had a disgusting stench in every corner was completely renewed. The dirty floor was covered with crystal ice and the walls were frozen. The ice and snow buried all the sins and turned the mansion into a cold snowy area.

The heavy curtains that had never been lifted were torn down and frozen in the corner. For the first time, bright sunlight poured into this dark place. In the warm sun, a beautiful white-haired woman was stretching her innocent fox tail, and one of her tails was gently teasing the girl in her arms.

It was as if she was really Sakura’s mother, and Sakura, the girl who had been tortured to the point of losing her emotions and whose eyes were lifeless, was now quietly lying in her arms with a peaceful look on her face.

Just by seeing Sakura’s softening expression, Kariya felt redeemed.

But the next moment, the chill all over his body woke Kariya up, and the angry roar of the berserker brought him back to his senses. He knew that woman. She was the magician who stood next to Irisviel last night, and she was his enemy who participated in the Holy Grail War.

“berserker!”

Although he was mad, Kariya could still control the actions of this dark knight to a certain extent under normal circumstances. It would be better to say that the only time he lost control was when he faced Artoria last night.

The scene before him was so peaceful and so beautiful, but the nine fox tails that the woman was waving were so strange. Subconsciously, Kariya felt that it was dangerous, so he summoned the Berserker.

In fact, if Jiang Lan hadn’t been holding Ying in his arms, he would have ordered the berserker to rush up and tear her to pieces.

To make Sakura, who had been tortured to the point of insanity, show such a peaceful expression, and to tell her to call him mother, Kariya believed that the other party must have used mind-control magic, which further confirmed his conclusion that she was the enemy.

“Hiss, why are you yelling so loudly? Sakura was even frightened by you.”

Jiang Lan rubbed Ying’s long purple hair and complained dissatisfiedly.

“What did you do to Sakura? Return her to me, or else…”

“Uncle, my elder sister saved me.”

Even though his body had been saved, the trauma in his heart could not be erased. Sakura’s voice was inorganic and full of death, but what surprised Kariya was that Sakura smiled at him.

He was stunned immediately and wanted to cry. For this man who had lost everything and wanted revenge, who wanted to take back his most beloved treasure, even if it was just the influence of magic and the child was just manipulated, he was filled with joy to be able to smile at him again.

“Is this… true?”

With his throat rolling, Yan Ye stared at Jiang Lan and said with difficulty.

“Didn’t you see it? Sakura was taken good care of by me. If you hadn’t suddenly barged in just now, she might have called me mom.”

“No.”

“How heartless! I beat that bad old man to pieces. Ah, is that too bloody for the children? Sorry, sorry.”

“What did you say? Was Zang Yan killed?”

Hearing the words from Jiang Lan that made his heart tremble wildly, Yan Ye said anxiously.

“Well, kill him. Cut him into pieces and remove all the bugs from his body.”

“Impossible, impossible. That old man has other backup bodies. His original body is a bug. He must be preparing to be reborn somewhere now. Sakura, Sakura still cannot be saved.”

The moment I heard Jiang Lan’s affirmative answer, I felt joy in my heart, but then I felt endless worry.

No matter how strong humans are, they cannot defeat Heroic Spirits. For Kariya, who possesses a Berserker, killing “Matou Zouken” is extremely easy.

The reason why he did not do so was because he knew that the other party had hidden his core inside the insect, and the human figure in front of him was just his puppet.

Simply beheading this old man will not kill him completely. He will come back and continue to inflict pain on Sakura.

He fell to his knees helplessly, hot tears streaming down his face and dripping onto the ice. Kariya roared and began to thrash his body.

“Ding!”

At the same time as he knelt on the ground in pain, he thrust out a not-so-fast sword while holding Ying Jiang Lan in his arms. As expected, the human was unable to dodge it, but the sword, which was extremely slow and light for a heroic spirit, was blocked by the Berserker.

But unexpectedly, the berserker, who should have gone mad, stopped moving.

It was not that he was subdued, but that the dark knight suddenly regained his sanity at this moment.

“This… the frenzy state has been lifted?”

You can tell it’s a handsome guy just by listening to his voice. A gentle male voice like jade comes out from the helmet.

Surprised by Jiang Lan’s beauty, the Berserker, who was supposed to be mute, can actually speak! (Not really)

“How can it be!?”

How could Kariya, as the Master, not know the state of his Servant? When he noticed that Lancelot’s berserk state had been lifted, it seemed as if his thoughts had stopped at that moment, with only the words “How is this possible?” echoing in his mind.

“My sword can penetrate evil thoughts and connect directly to the body. It is called the [Fantasy Sword].”

The two little lolis who were called to clean up the black mud and give Jiang Lan a backdoor entry naturally had to give Jiang Lan some powers to help her fight against the [Evil of This World] in the Holy Grail.

In addition to Jiang Lan’s original holy sword [Blue Lightning] which is used to cut through tangible objects in the world, the Alaya-vijnana, one of the world’s restraining forces, also gave her another treasure, the [Fantasy Sword], which is used to cut through concepts and intangible objects.

“Fantasy Sword?”

Kariya murmured, seeming to understand something.

“This sword basically does not enhance my combat power. It is even inferior to many swords in the mortal world. I even need the protection of little Gaia to prevent it from being shattered by my sword energy.

But as long as I hold it, no one will be able to escape the fate of death by using a substitute. When I use this sword to cut open his body, the existence of Matou Zouken will be cut off at the same time.

Just like now, I cut off the concept of [Frenzy] in Berserker, and he regained his sanity. “

“So if I cut him, Matou Zouken will indeed die. Not even a trace of him will be left.”

“Because, if I kill someone, they will definitely die. This is the law of nature.”

The polar ice bloomed, and the fox’s cold voice sounded like heavenly music to Yanye’s ears.

33. Crazy but interesting ideas

“Is Zōken really dead?”

Having been under the shadow of Matou Zouken for a long time, even if Jiang Lan showed the wonders of the [Fantasy Sword] in her hand, Kariya still found it hard to believe, or rather, he dared not believe, that the dark cloud that had been hanging over his head for a long time had disappeared, and Sakura could be saved.

“Time will give you the answer. Believe me, Matou Zouken will never appear in front of you again.”

Smiling confidently, Irene presented more powerful evidence.

“Also, feel it, the crested bug in Sakura’s body has been completely wiped out by me.”

There is a fuse inside Sakura’s body left by Zou Yan to control her. The most special worm is connected to Sakura’s life. If it dies, Sakura will die too.

So for Sakura, removing the imprint worms from her body means death, but this is not a problem for Jiang Lan who holds the [Fantasy Sword].

Jiang Lan stabbed the tip of the sword into Ying’s heart, and without hurting her flesh, he pierced the engraved worm inside, severing the connection between the two at the source. He then injected a stream of fighting spirit into her body, which circulated and easily cleared out all the engraved worms.

Although doing so also destroyed the magic circuit in Sakura’s body, making it impossible for her to use magic again in her life, to Sakura, the magic circuit that caused her to suffer all this was not a treasure. The best ending would be for the circuit that caused her so much pain to disappear.

Otherwise, with Ying’s rare imaginary magic attribute, she would be coveted by many magicians after Jiang Lan left and would have a hard time living in peace.

This little girl has been expecting only an ordinary and happy life from the beginning to the end.

Touching Sakura’s forearm, he used magic to carefully confirm that there was no longer any trace of the disgusting crested worms in her body. Everything was so clean and pure. Trembling all over, Kariya cried out in pain, muttering continuously.

“Great, great, great…”

The sudden surprise almost made the consciousness of this man, who had been bearing tremendous pressure and pain and constantly forcing himself, collapse. Facing such a man, Ying gave him a small, warm hug.

“Sakura, you smiled.”

The face that had long since died and lost even its expression began to smile again, and the girl gave Kariya a beautiful smile of gratitude.
