Chapter 113
"Now it's time to talk about Matou Sakura, and why regardless of your wishes, Matou Shinji and Matou Zouken will be destroyed."
"What do you mean destroyed?" Emiya Shirou asked suspiciously, looking ready to launch into a tirade in defense of his "friend" if he didn't like the answer.
"Do you really still think of him as a friend?" I asked with slight disdain before waving it off. "It doesn't matter, though, if you still want to protect him after I tell you Sakura's story, then you're clearly mentally challenged."
"I'm fine with my head..."
"Shut up Emiya, everyone has known for a long time that you left the Kyudo Club because of him, and he's a real bastard. If he really did something to Sakura..." Tohsaka interrupted him with a meaningful silence at the end.
- He raped her, and obviously more than once. - I dropped the first bomb.
- He what? - Emiya froze.
- I'll kill him. - Tohsaka said calmly, throwing away any hint of frivolity in her behavior.
- Okay. - I sighed, collecting my thoughts. - To be honest, the fact that he raped her is not even close to the worst thing in her story of complete despair.
- Not even close? - Emiya asked quietly, nervously swallowing saliva from a bad feeling.
- Yes. - I nodded. - First, we need to go back to the fourth Holy Grail War again. To the day when Sakura was doomed to endure years of suffering that in a day, or maybe even faster, would have broken the mind of an adult. The day when the Tohsaka family abandoned her and handed her over to the Matou family.
- Abandoned her? Tohsaka-san? - Emiya looked at Rin, looking for answers.
- In most magical families, it is customary to train only one heir, to whom the head of the family can pass on his magical sign. - the girl began to explain reluctantly, while allowing it to appear on her left hand for clarity, it consisted of strange shining lines that encircled her entire hand. Which, however, would not have been visible without the supply of magical energy to it. - And the rest of the children are often disposed of. Sakura also had great magical talent, so her father made a deal with the Matou family. Sakura was supposed to become the heir of this family.
- It is unpleasant to say this, but death would have been more merciful. - I grimaced slightly. - When she became Matou, she was thrown into a pit filled with worms that crawled on her by the thousands, and also penetrated into her body, rebuilding her, well and ...
- What and? - Arturia, who was sitting next to me, couldn't stand it when I fell silent, not knowing how best to present it.
- It's just that what they did to her is somehow wild to even say out loud, especially if you remember how old she was.
- And yet, if you started, then finish it.
- Okay. Well, there were also worms, penis-shaped, that, in fact, raped her and penetrated her womb. Where they are to this day, like many other worms that filled her body. And even that wasn't the end of it. In that war, there was one master who summoned Lancelot as a berserker. He tried to negotiate with Matou Zouken, if he won him the Holy Grail, then he would let Sakura go and not do anything terrible to her. What he didn't know was that at that time Sakura was almost completely broken, she didn't even understand why he was trying to save her and took his death as a warning that she shouldn't go against Zouken.
- Some time after that, Shinji raped her for the first time. She was subjected to physical and mental abuse, all these years, and she would have given up on you long ago, Emiya Shirou.
- Me? - He pointed his finger at himself.
- Yes. She was inspired by your selflessness, she was able to suppress the resentment towards Zouken and Shinji that appeared because of their bullying. And also the resentment towards her own sister, who didn't save her. - At this point, it was simply pitiful to look at Rin. After all, she really hoped until the very end that Sakura was doing well and was even quite ready to give up the object of her love Emiya Shirou for her sake. - You, Emiya Shirou, are her emotional anchor, and she is madly in love with you. And there is one more extremely important and, frankly, scary moment, because of which we must first of all save her and get rid of the Matou family.
- In addition to the worms, Matou Zouken immersed the fragments of the desecrated grail that remained from the last war into her. And although Sakura is still able to restrain herself, she is on the verge of a breakdown, and as soon as this breakdown happens, a monster will be born for which the king of heroes will be nothing more than a snack. Dark emotions were specially cultivated in her for many years, so that during the Holy Grail War they could break out and feed the fragments of the grail inside her at once. Although, frankly speaking, I do not know all the details of this process. The main thing is that we must first of all save her, otherwise bad things will come to everyone. And it is desirable to do this before she starts going crazy and attacking people.
"Can someone really do something like that?" Shiro asked, stunned.
- Yeah, my mother is almost a saint compared to him. - Mordred shook her head, her appetite apparently not affected by my story at all, because she continued to calmly drink tea while eating sandwiches.
- How are we going to save her? - Tohsaka asked me, who, like no one else, realized how difficult her sister's situation was.
- Well, in fact, I only see one option. - Saying this, I took off the bandage from my eye and pointed at it. - I will destroy the worms and fragments of the grail inside her with the help of the eyes of death perception.
- Okay. - Rin nodded, completely satisfied with my answer.
- What kind of eyes are these? - Shirou asked.
- These are special eyes that allow their owner to see the lines and points of death, cuts that can kill, anything. That's how she stopped Lancer's attack. - Arturia explained briefly.
- True. - I confirmed.
- Well, since we've dealt with the most difficult part, let's talk about Ilya. It's much simpler with her. She's the daughter of Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel von Einzbern. Her mother died in the last Holy Grail War because she was the vessel of the Lesser Grail. Kiritsugu tried to get his daughter back after the war, but he couldn't get through the Einzbern barriers. As a result, she was raised as a new vessel and deceived, making her out to be a traitor for abandoning her. Now she most likely thinks that he chose you over Shirou instead of his own daughter. And I just want her to survive this war and find a family.
- You won't abandon your sister Emiya Shirou, will you?
