Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

"Oh." Upon hearing this, the excited little girl Rin immediately deflated, feeling a little scared, wondering if she would be scolded later.

Ma En didn't care what she thought. In fact, he thought it would be better to let Loli Rin get scolded once or twice so that she would learn her lesson.

After dialing the Zenjo family's number, Ma En handed it to Lori Rin, letting her speak for herself while he supervised from the side.

This is a case of self-inflicted punishment.

This is also so that Rin will remember it well and not cause trouble again next time.

"Moshi moshi, Mom, it's me, Rin, um."

While Loli Rin was on the phone with an expression of being led to her execution, Ma En wasn't idle either.

The 'Hidden Space Scan' has been activated again, and this time, its scale is so large that it covers almost the entire Fuyuki City.

Although he didn't know what Rin's friend looked like, Ma En finally remembered this part of the story.

One of Rin's classmates was kidnapped by Ryunosuke Uryu, which is why Rin quietly ran back to Fuyuki.

However, Mar and Eng are now somewhat uncertain.

In the original story, Ryunosuke kidnapped Rin's classmates and other children to serve as a battery for his Servant, Gilles de Rais, and as a sacrifice for summoning monsters.

However, Ryunosuke has not yet obtained a Command Seal, nor has he summoned the marshal who has fallen into evil ways.

That's why Maren wasn't sure if Rin's friend was still alive, as in the original story.

After all, Ryunosuke is a thoroughly evil person by nature, a beast who only knows how to satisfy himself.

Like Kirei Kotomine, he possesses an innate evil nature.

However, unlike Kirei Kotomine, who had been influenced by his father's religion and instilled with moral values ​​over the years, Ryunosuke had been unrestrained since childhood, indulging in the evil in his heart without hesitation or restraint, and had no moral values ​​whatsoever.

If we were to compare Kirei Kotomine, who has been guided by Marx and Engels, to a wolf tamed by humans...

Ryunosuke is like a wolf in human skin, mingling among the crowd, and one that will devour anyone at any moment.

If Ryunosuke kidnapped her like this, then Rin's friend is in danger; she might already be dead.

Ryunosuke nowadays has no other purpose in kidnapping people than to torture and kill them for his own satisfaction.

Receiving feedback from the magic, Ma En, as if he had opened a God's-eye view, quickly scanned the entire territory of Fuyuki City.

Fortunately, it was already past midnight, and there weren't many people still out and about, so Ma En quickly identified his target.

"I've found you, Ryunosuke."

However, Maren's expression immediately turned strange.

"Nani? Has it been found?"

After finishing her phone call with her mother and letting her know she was safe, little Rin, hearing Ma En's mutterings, perked up and immediately asked him what was going on.

"It has been found, but..."

Marx and Engels' expression was very strange, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't, and also as if they were laughing and crying at the same time, like they had a mouthful of saliva stuck in their mouths and didn't know how to spit it out.

"But what? Qin Yin won't be in danger, will she?"

Loli Rin didn't notice Ma En's expression; instead, she was very worried about the safety of that classmate.

"She's not in any immediate danger. Never mind, it's hard to say for sure anyway. Let's go over there."

With that, Ma En picked up the little girl Rin and walked towards where Ryunosuke was.

Loli Rin, unusually, did not resist and obediently wrapped her arms around Ma En's neck.

She's exhausted. As a child, she's still up past midnight and exhausted just getting back to Fuyuki City from the neighboring city.

Without needing Loli Rin's prompting, Ma En immediately leaped up.

His formidable physique granted him terrifying strength, allowing him to launch himself forward, leap onto the rooftops, and then continuously jump between buildings, running at a speed comparable to that of a Servant.

He also set up a protective shield to protect the little girl Rin from the strong winds caused by her running.

"Wow!"

Loli Rin had never seen anything like this before, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

After the initial shock came a surge of excitement.

"Wow! Awesome! Fast! This is so much fun! It feels like flying! Lake~!"

This excitement left Mar and Eng speechless.

So, did Ishtar Rin's berserk, old-school female driver persona come from you?

Just as I was thinking this, we arrived at our destination.

"Huh? This isn't..."

Looking at the somewhat familiar surroundings, Loli Rin seemed to remember something, but the place seemed to have been damaged and was in ruins, so she couldn't remember where she was for a moment.

“That’s right, this is the Matou family’s residence,” En confirmed.

"who!"

A dry, hoarse voice, as if it were decaying, came from behind.

Dressed in a gray kimono, holding a wooden cane, with limbs as withered as a mummy, sunken eye sockets, a skin-and-bones face, bald and hunchbacked, an old man who looked like he was about to be buried, and emanating a foul, putrid odor, appeared before the two.

The old insect stared coldly at the two intruders who had suddenly barged in, his eyes flashing with an unreadable light.

"Wow~!"

The little girl Rin was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the terrifying old man that she immediately threw herself into Ma En's arms, not daring to look up.

"Disciples and heirs of the Tohsaka family, what are you doing here? You suddenly barged into my Matou family. Don't blame me for not letting you go back easily if you don't give an explanation."

Faced with the old insect's questioning, Ma En gently patted the little girl Rin's back to comfort her while coldly replying:

"What are you trying to do? Don't you know perfectly well? Stop playing dumb, old bug. You went through all that trouble, using that killer to kidnap her classmate, wasn't it all to lure her out?"

Yes, Ryunosuke is here too.

These two guys actually ended up hanging out together.

Chapter 54 Zouken Matou's Wishful Thinking

These two guys, who were considered must-kill targets by all the transmigrators, actually got together.

It was precisely because Marne discovered this that his expression was so strange at the time.

It's like having two bosses appear at the same time: Zeus is hooking up with Amaterasu, and Goetia is going to marry an alien god. It all seems a bit ridiculous.

As for what they want to do by getting together?

Marx and Engels could have guessed the gist of it with a little thought.

Ryunosuke completely ignored him. His opinion was of no importance in front of Zouken Matou. The two were not on the same level and there was no way they could have a cooperative relationship.

Therefore, it can only be that Zouken Matou is using Ryunosuke.

What are we going to do with Ryunosuke?

Zouken Matou's only goal was to win the Holy Grail War!

The longer a magician lives, the more obsessed he becomes.

Those things that were originally called 'dreams' and 'ideals' have, after a long period of time, turned into distorted and ugly obsessions.

Zouken Matou is like that, and so is Ahad, the current head of the Einzbern family.

Perhaps Zouken Matou has little hope for this Holy Grail War.

It's clear from the fact that he announced a year ago that he hoped to adopt a child with excellent magical talent that Zouken Matou's focus has always been on the future.

As for having Matou Kariya participate in the battle, that was merely a side move.

It also has the intention of disrupting the situation and making it impossible for others to win.

At the very least, we can't let the other two teams, the three giants, win.

Only in this way can he guarantee that there will be another Holy Grail War, and thus he can still place his hopes on the future.

However, these ideas are based on the premise that the Matou family has a successor. If there is no successor, then nothing can be said.

Since Maren interfered with Tokiomi Tohsaka's plan to have Sakura Tohsaka adopted into the Matou family last year, the Matou family has not received any further inquiries or discussions of this kind.

Because even the Tohsaka family, one of the three founding families, doesn't trust the Matou family anymore, so naturally no one else would dare to step into this trap.

Therefore, Zouken Matou's purpose is quite obvious.

He wants an outstanding child to be his successor, no matter what means he uses!

The first family he considered was naturally the Tohsaka family, which was the closest to them.

Moreover, the Tohsaka family has two outstanding children, making them a large enough target and an easy target to target.

However, precisely because they are so close, outright robbery is definitely out of the question.

Zouken Matou then hatched a wicked plan, secretly finding Ryunosuke, the murderer, intending to use worldly power to sever ties with him.

Even if we fail, Ryunosuke can take the blame alone, and it will have nothing to do with Zouken Matou!

And that's how this situation came about: Ryunosuke kidnapped Kotone, Rin Tohsaka's classmate.

One reason was to create a smokescreen, so that kidnapping Rin Tohsaka later wouldn't seem so deliberate.

Secondly, I also want to see if I can lure Rin Tohsaka out, just like I am now.

As for whether, after succeeding, they intend to transform Rin Tohsaka into the heir of the Matou family or use her to threaten Tokiomi Tohsaka, that depends on whether Tokiomi Tohsaka can win this Holy Grail War.

I have to say, Zouken Matou is quite the schemer; he killed two birds with one stone and kept it so well hidden.

If Maren hadn't given Rin Tohsaka a charm, he might have actually succeeded.

"Hah, what are you saying? I don't understand."

When Zouken Matou realized that his scheme had been exposed, he was not upset. Instead, he smiled and pretended to be confused.

"Denial is useless, and I'm not going to reason with you anyway."

Ma En, too lazy to waste words with this old bug, directly pulled out his Zanpakuto.
