The white world dissipated.
The vision is restored to its original state.
The underground altar was still a little dim, still surrounded by a group of masters and servants, and Fiore was still sitting in the wheelchair in front of her.
However, the kindness in everyone's eyes turned into suspicion, and the golden cup in Fiore's hand disappeared without a trace. Her posture also changed from holding the golden cup to pressing the back of her right hand with her left hand.
There lies the proof of the connection with the Servant, the seal of the contract—the Command Seal!
"Black Assassin, you, you—"
Fiore's eyes widened as she stared at Shinji's face, which seemed to have changed a little.
Jeanne had the same expression as her. Just now, both of them had noticed something unusual through the connection between master and servant and the privileges of the judge.
"I'm sorry, Fiore."
Shinji knelt on one knee, gently held Fiore's hands with his own, and said apologetically.
"Although some accidents have occurred, you are still my Master. I will help you realize your wish, so please continue to support me and lend me your strength."
"Hey, what happened? How come the contract between you and me... is broken? And your condition..."
"This one."
Shinji lowered his head and glanced at the dust-free white spiritual robe made of the third magic, with gentle eyes.
"It was a gift given to me by a fool who said nothing. That stupid woman, just because I like her in white doesn't mean I have to wear white myself."
"Stupid woman?" Fiore found that she didn't understand what Shinji was saying at all. "What's going on?"
"To put it simply, it means becoming a human, similar to the state before Amakusa Shirou Tokisada. I think you understand what I mean."
"I see, it's 'Incarnation'." Jeanne was the first to react, "But shouldn't 'Incarnation' be a miracle that can only be triggered when the Servant touches the Greater Holy Grail?"
"Normally it would be like this, but this time someone used the Holy Grail to cast this magic."
Shinji said as he stretched his body. With just one stretching movement, a steady stream of power emerged. He was now even more powerful than when he was a Servant.
But the more this happened, the heavier his mood became. It felt as if Justisa had attached her own life to him in exchange for this strength.
"Ah, that's the fool you just mentioned who talks to himself..."
"Stupid woman."
Altria was well-mannered and didn't say that name, but Shinji didn't have that scruple. Even though Justisa would be angry if she heard it, if she could be angry at him, Shinji would let her do whatever she wanted.
"I know you don't understand what I'm saying, and you have a lot of doubts about me. While everyone is here, I'll explain it all at once."
"Do you remember everything?" Fiore's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ah, I guess so. At least I have come into contact with the Holy Grail." Shinji hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not expose the lie.
"What's your real name?"
"Matou Shinji - haven't you heard of him? That's right. I'm not a hero, nor a historical figure. I'm just a slightly special magician."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gold clapped his hands. He was the only one in the Thousand World Tree Family who had contact with the three great families, so he would naturally feel familiar with them. (Danik is dead.)
"Matou...Matou... Why do I feel familiar? Aren't they the three great families that built the Holy Grail system? Their original name was Machiri, and they changed their name to Matou after moving to Japan."
"Are you a member of the Makiri family?"
"Yes, but not from this world. My existence is very special. To explain it clearly, I have to start with the origin of the Holy Grail system, the Einzbern family—"
Next, Shinji began to explain to everyone the origin of the Einzbern family, the birth of Justissa, the visit of Machiril Zorgen, the birth and construction of the Holy Grail blueprint, Justissa's transformation into the Greater Holy Grail, the start of the Holy Grail War every sixty years, and finally the Third Holy Grail War, when one of the Masters, Danic, used the power of Nazi Germany to defeat the three Holy Grail families and seize the Greater Holy Grail.
Then, the topic changes to a parallel world and ends with Shinji's own experience.
This talk lasted for more than an hour, and this was the result of Shinji intentionally downplaying the last two contents.
Despite this, it still caused a burst of amazement from the crowd.
Such as—
"I never thought the Einzbern family had such a past. Two thousand years, how persistent!"
"Hey~ The clan leader was this powerful when he was young."
"Oh, parallel worlds really exist? This is the first time I've heard of it."
"What? The consciousness of the Winter Saint has not dissipated and is still connected to you in some way?"
"So Perseus is your ancestor. You are so lucky to have his treasure."
"You've already fought in a Holy Grail War?"
"That's how the other four Noble Phantasms came from. Hmm, I seem to remember that Gilgamesh did throw out four Noble Phantasms, and you picked them up. You are worthy of being my master."
—and so on.
Of course, Shinji concealed something about traveling to a parallel world. He just said that Justisa was summoned by another Holy Grail one day and inexplicably traveled through time, and Shinji, who had made a contract with her, also traveled through time with her.
After a careful inspection, it was discovered that there was some problem with the Holy Grail War in this world, and its own emergency system seemed to have some problems, so it asked for help from "myself" in another time or space.
After sorting out the situation, the two decided that Justissa would stay in the Greater Holy Grail to monitor the system operation, while Shinji would participate in the Holy Grail War as a Servant to find out the truth.
As the creator of the Holy Grail system, Justisa knows very well how to make the most of the rules, which is why Shinji was able to become a Master from a Servant and summon Altria.
This statement sounds incredible and not so reliable, but the magicians and servants all believe it, because magic is something beyond common sense. The more unreliable it is, the more it fits everyone's cognition. The fact that it can do this just shows the magic of the Holy Grail as a universal wish-making machine.
As for the original seventh master, Sagara Heima, who was concerned about the Chikaiju clan, Shinji directly said that he didn't know, and the only one who knew the truth, Rokudo Reika, would not expose him. (When summoning Jack and Altria, Sagara Heima was left with only ashes, so naturally he didn't know what happened.)
Fiore, Colles and the others did not pay much attention to it. After all, that guy, like Serenika, practiced black magic, had a twisted personality and enjoyed torturing and cursing others, which was not liked by most magicians.
And for some reason, Sagara Baoma's only ally, Serenike, seemed absent-minded, and it was unclear whether he heard it or not.
Seeing that no one raised any more objections, Shinji breathed a sigh of relief. He got along well with most of the masters and servants on the black side, and didn't want the relationship to be ruined by a scumbag.
"The above is my experience, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
PS: There are three cases of Servants taking on flesh: Gilgamesh, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, and Solomon.
PS2: When I write this, I feel that the most tragic person is Sagara Houma, who died silently and no one cared about him after his death.
