Chapter 326 - Chapter 326: Magical Girls in a Bitter Struggle

[It can only be said that Fuyuki City is indeed a place of outstanding people and spirit. It is really not easy to grow up safely in this place.

Either a gas leak or a water pipe burst, and occasionally a perverted killer pops up to summon a sea monster.

I don't know how many families were destroyed in that big fire in the main story.

And no matter which world it is, the malice towards Illya is indeed a bit too much.

The main story originally said it was going to be Illya's route, but in the end, it was cut by more than half due to time constraints, and the screentime of her own route was integrated into the Sakura route.

But in three routes and five endings, only two endings allow her to live to the end. The remaining three endings end with either having her heart dug out or self-sacrifice. The only ending where she survives still has to come with a line saying this body might not live past 18.

Finally, under the worldview of Prisma Illya, Emiya Kiritsugu of this world not only restored the combat power of the Magus Killer described in the original work but also put down the obsession of being a hero of justice. For his daughter, he pulled his wife to forcibly terminate the Holy Grail War and destroyed the Holy Grail ritual almost completely.

Finally, he even repaired Illya's body, allowing her to grow up normally as an ordinary human instead of the Lesser Grail.

And Illya in this world indeed grew up healthily like an ordinary little girl. As a result, she unluckily bumped into Ruby, who saw through Illya's Holy Grail essence at a glance, and was forced to become a magical girl.

But being a magical girl is fine.

To be honest, before the release of Puella Magi Madoka Magica dedicated by that Warrior of Love (Gen Urobuchi), magical girls only received special treatment in some adult-oriented works. Overall, it was still relatively sunny and positive.

Who would have thought that the guy who said "I want to create a world where Illya can live happily" back then happened to crash into the broadcast of Madoka during the serialization of the manga. As a result, his creative inspiration avalanched all the way, finally turning directly into "Although this world doesn't necessarily have to have Illya," making Illya travel six thousand years ago alone to rewrite history, and end up being forgotten by everyone—such an abstract plot.

And this guy had already serialized to the end of the manga. It was estimated that the ending would come in ten or twenty issues. But he started to delay the draft. It's been a few years and only a few chapters that are not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth have been updated. I don't know if this manga can be normally completed in my lifetime.

Anyway, I will be arriving in Fuyuki City soon. Let me see which world line this world follows. Everyone can patiently wait for my good news.]

As Miyauchi Hikage made up a diary and updated it on the second diary in a few minutes, Tohsaka Rin, holding a diary and recording not far away, suddenly frowned and then began to read this newly updated diary.

Visibly, her face began to look ugly. Even Luvia, who didn't get along with her at all, noticed the change in expression on Tohsaka Rin's face.

"Ara, what's with your expression, Tohsaka?" The words Luvia, who was naturally mutually repulsive to her, asked automatically turned into a mocking tone the moment she spoke.

Regarding this, Tohsaka Rin just snorted softly, ignoring Luvia's provocation, and just focused her mind on this suddenly updated diary.

Since she returned to Fuyuki City, after accepting the commission from Zelretch at the Clock Tower and inexplicably obtaining this diary, her luck had always been bad.

Forming a team with Luvia, whom she disliked the most. And Zelretch even spoke out: whoever had more Class Cards in hand in the end would be accepted as his disciple.

Although to execute the mission, they obtained the Kaleidoscope Wands granted by Zelretch, but this thing was very weird.

To exert the full power of this thing, they had to turn into highly shameful magical girls according to their requirements.

It was also because of executing the mission with Luvia, her deadly rival, that Tohsaka Rin gritted her teeth and adapted to the state of a magical girl, and could exert power no weaker than Luvia relying on her own talent.

But reaching this step, her bad luck appeared again.

On the first night they arrived in Fuyuki City, because of the dispute over the ownership of the card, they directly turned into magical girls and had a fierce fight over Fuyuki City.

As a result, it triggered the dissatisfaction of the two Kaleidoscope Wands, and finally simply abandoned the two of them to find new users.

As a result, her Ruby wand found such a seemingly naive little girl like Illya, and taking advantage of her absence, fooled the other party into signing a contract, forcing such a ten-year-old girl to step into such a dangerous situation.

And although the Sapphire wand also found a ten-year-old girl Miyu, compared to the naive Illya, the mental state of this little girl Miyu seemed somewhat weird.

I don't know where she popped up from, nor where she mastered knowledge in the past, and she has quite good Magic Circuits in her body, showing no hesitation in battle.

It was as if she was a girl born to collect Class Cards.

It was just that neither Tohsaka Rin nor Luvia pursued the existence of Miyu too much. After all, for them at this time, the most important thing was still to collect Class Cards and complete the commission given to them by Zelretch. Other things were secondary.

But when the progress of collection gradually became smooth, the mysterious diary owner actually updated such a diary to disturb her mind.

Other inexplicable world lines are fine. It seems that FSN, FE, and FGO are all world lines related to the Holy Grail War, which indeed don't have much to do with them.

But what does it mean that "the world where Emiya Miyu is will usher in destruction"?

And what is "want to create a world where Illya can live happily, but this world doesn't necessarily have to have Illya"?

Why did Illya travel six thousand years ago to rewrite history, and end up being forgotten by all of them?

For Tohsaka Rin, who was still in the first stage of recovering Class Cards, looking at these descriptions was indeed a bit brain-burning.

Is this still the world she is familiar with?

Isn't the manipulation of parallel worlds the exclusive Second Magic of Zelretch? If Miyu is not from this world, then how did she cross the world to come here?

And what exactly happened in Miyu's world that it will be destroyed soon? Why did Illya rewrite history, and what power did she rely on to do this?

In comparison, the fact that Illya was once the Lesser Grail is nothing here?

Even Tohsaka Rin felt it was quite reasonable.

After all, she had suspected before that Illya, this seemingly ordinary girl, obviously had an abnormal number of Magic Circuits in her body.

If the other party's parents were originally magi, and characters related to the Holy Grail War, then all this makes sense.

Recalling the Holy Grail War that ended before it started ten years ago, her father wanted to continue the Holy Grail War ritual, but died inexplicably. His disciple in the Church also disappeared, leaving her, who was only six or seven years old at the time, to bear the responsibility of the head of the Tohsaka family.

But without anyone's help, she was too young after all and couldn't support the Tohsaka family. She could only sell the family property and go to the Clock Tower for further study, only thinking about taking back the management right of Fuyuki City's leylines after she grew up.

Who knew that because of this mission, she returned to this city early.

"Illya's father is named Emiya Kiritsugu, and Miyu's real name is Emiya Miyu... It feels like things are indeed a bit complicated."

"It seems that whether it is Illya or Miyu, after collecting cards this time, it is necessary to investigate their specific life experiences."

Tohsaka Rin pondered so, while looking at the figures of the two girls flying in the air who had broken through Caster's restrictions.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, almost allowing Caster to regroup, but at any rate, under the tacit cooperation of the two Emiya girls, the collection of this card was successfully completed.

Just looking at Miyu high in the sky successfully completing the card recovery, a bad feeling suddenly flashed in Tohsaka Rin's heart.

Her gaze suddenly fell on the other side, and she pushed Luvia beside her fiercely.

In the next moment, a more turbulent magic power tide than Caster launched an attack on them.

In this instant, Tohsaka Rin directly consumed Reading Value, using the diary to generate protective measures for herself, blocking the opponent's attack.

During this month, she had been studying the usefulness of this diary to her.

Besides finding that this thing is very useful for taking notes and can also help her analyze some magic models to speed up her cultivation.

The other most important point is finding that besides being used to accelerate her cultivation speed, Reading Value can also be used to provide herself with protective effects.

It can be said that no matter what kind of attack, as long as Tohsaka Rin can be aware of the opponent's attack, she can consume Reading Value to block it.

That attack from the unknown Class Card just now cost her five points of Reading Value.

To be honest, it hurts a little.

But at any rate, she can get two points of Reading Value every day, which belongs to renewable resources.

It's better than letting her use those non-renewable jewels she managed to save up to deploy defense, which might not even block it.

"Unexpectedly, besides Caster, there is actually another Servant in this mirror space," Tohsaka Rin gritted her teeth and looked at the enemy attacking them.

That black figure, the sword full of danger, the awe-inspiring killing intent, and the magic power wave on her body that was almost solidifying.

Undoubtedly, the other party is Saber, the strongest class among the seven classes!

"That was really close. Just a little bit more, and this guy would have successfully ambushed us," Tohsaka Rin wiped her forehead and quickly distanced herself from the other party at the same time.

This is not an enemy that can be defeated by Jewel Magecraft alone.

Even the magic power erupting from the other party makes it difficult for the Kaleidoscope Wands to suppress the other party!

Absolutely, must not let the other party get close to herself.

Otherwise, without protection, as long as the other party simply swings the sword, they might be seriously injured.

So, after distancing herself, her first thought was to retreat first: "Miyu has just used Lancer's Class Card and cannot use Lancer's Noble Phantasm to cause fatal injury to Saber in a short time."

"Let's make a simple attempt first to see Saber's strength. If it really doesn't work, retreat first to find a solution, and come back to continue the challenge after finding a way to deal with it!"

Today they had originally completed their target operation.

Both girls had consumed a lot of physical strength, and the Class Cards had also been consumed, so Tohsaka Rin's current decision is indeed no problem.

The problem is, the Saber in front of them doesn't seem to intend to let them leave easily.

After Tohsaka Rin blocked the opponent's first magic power bombardment, the opponent quickly launched an attack on them again.

Especially Tohsaka Rin and Luvia were separated by the attack just now. Under this frantic magic power offensive, they really couldn't find a gap to escape!

Fortunately, with the support of the magic power cannons of the two girls in the air, they could slightly attract the other party's attention. But what was more despairing was that the magic power cannons they output with full force completely failed to cause any impact on Saber!

The magic power protection on the other party is too strong. It's simply not an enemy that can be solved by conventional means!

However, Tohru, who was watching from afar on the other side of the mirror space, yawned.

For her, these scenes were indeed not enough for her to watch.

It can only be said that both sides in the battle are too poor in skills.

Those two magical girls had some whimsical cooperation when fighting Caster, but the control of magic power was still too simple.

Even with nearly infinite magic power, they should pay a little attention to the efficiency of magic power.

That kind of bombardment cannon composed of pure magic power was honestly quite a waste.

Including that black Saber as well, with no combat IQ, just acting on magic power and instinct.

Although her fighting style looks no different from these two sides, the utilization efficiency of magic power between the two is not on the same level at all.

"If the other party has rationality, it would be a bit worth watching. But a mindless incarnation fights so hard, and can't even find a chance to escape. It's really a bit ugly to fight."

"Two ten-year-old girls can do this much, it's already very good. Do you still remember what happened when you were ten years old?" Miyauchi Hikage complained, instantly attracting Tohru's death stare.

"Anyway, let's wait a bit longer patiently. I came for the Class Cards. We must take action at a critical moment to show our importance."

Saying this, Miyauchi Hikage also continued to watch the efforts of the two girls in the air.

It's a pity that they, who haven't mastered Dreamlande (Install) and can only use Include to temporarily borrow the power of Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasms, find it hard to defeat the Saber in front of them even with nearly infinite magic power.

They tried hard there for five or six minutes. The only thing they achieved was to make Saber slightly leave her original position, buying them a little time to leave the mirror space.

"Don't prolong the fight. That Servant cannot be defeated by conventional means. Even the defense of the Kaleidoscope Wands cannot block the other party's attack. Let's deal with her after we regroup!"

Tohsaka Rin reminded the two girls.

The four of them hurriedly gathered together and started to deploy the magic circle to leave the mirror space on the ground.

However, the time they bought was still too short.

During the opening of the magic circle, Saber's incredibly powerful magic power cannons came fiercely towards them one after another!

Originally, Tohsaka Rin thought that if it really didn't work, she would consume some Reading Value again to block this continuous impact.

As a result, this attack didn't fall under the protection of the diary as expected.

Instead, in front of them, a large net composed of special Black Ropes suddenly appeared, absorbing and interfering with the offensive of these magic power waves to a great extent, allowing them to successfully continue the teleportation!

"What is this thing?" Several people were stunned for a moment. Just the moment before the teleportation magic circle was about to take effect, a stranger's voice came somewhat abruptly to their ears.

"It seems I arrived just in time. Then I will accept Saber's card for the time being."
