Chapter 297: Sakura is going to be happy

Usually, Tamazuki would collect the Master of the Holy Grail and only let them go when he got the Grail, so this was also the case with Berserker's Master, but it seemed he couldn't do that since Kariya Matou, Berserker's Master, had passed away.

On the corner of this dungeon, his body lay on the ground painfully, yet with a peaceful smile.

While Saber felt weird at first, she couldn't help but frown at the tragedy of this pitiful man who was being played by fate all the time.

Kariya's wish was simple, and that was to save Sakura, the daughter of the woman that he loved, yet what he met was only tragedy after tragedy.

Yet, such a wish was impossible to realize, especially when he was surrounded by the malice of this world.

It was as if his existence existed to be tortured and enjoyed by those with crazy heads.

Fortunately, his fate changed.

Kiriya's death was more at ease as he died due to his Prana, blood, and flesh sucked dry by Berserker.

Was such a fate better?

It was hard to say, but compared to the original when he was being played and forced to strangle the neck of the woman he loved, making her have a dead brain due to the lack of oxygen, this death shouldn't be too bad, especially when he saw the terror and scare on the face of Zoukeno who had tortured him much.

Watching the person Kiriya wanted to die the most before he died was already the greatest gift he received.

Take that!

Kirya thought.

Still, before he died, he had a dream where he saved Sakura and brought her to return to Aoi and Rin as they spent their days happily. It might be only a dream, but that dream was enough to put a smile on him, whose body was wrenched by worms.

"What do you want to do with him?" Saber asked.

"Should I cremate his body?"

After all, they were nothing but strangers.

"Maybe you should bury him?"

"Well, I will do so."

It might be a little trouble, but it was okay with him.

"Are we going back now?"

"No, there is something that we have to do first."

"What is it?"

"There is someone that I need to save."

Tamazuki walked out of the dungeon, and Saber also followed.

---

"......."

"That lowlife!"

Saber grinding her teeth in anger as she thought of the torture that this little girl had experienced. Tamazuki might be able to heal Sakura's body, but her mind?

"...by the way, this is the daughter of that married woman, right?"

"Um."

While he felt weird at the way Saber mentioned Aoi, he nodded. "Her husband told his second daughter to go to this house, and the others couldn't stop it."

Fortunately, Tokiomi died.

Then, under his care, Sakura woke up and blinked her eyes, watching the two of them.

"...am I not death?"

"Of course not." Tamazuki was speechless. "From now on, you will be following me, and I won't abandon you. Are you okay with that?"

"......."

Sakura stared at Tamazuki with her usual blank expression, but something was brewing inside her mind.

This something was known as a "hope" and "expectation."

"Yes."

"Do you want us to bury Kariya?"

"...Uncle Kariya?" Sakura thought for a moment and didn't feel surprised by Kariya's death. Nevertheless, she agreed to help them. "Yes."

The three of them buried Kariya at the cemetery after he manipulated the minds of the people who took care of the cemetery and then bought the land to bury Kariya's body.

Frankly, due to the lack of land in Japan, most people would be cremated, and the family would create a small shrine for the ashes of those who died.

As for the cemetery? It was too expensive, but money wasn't a problem for him, so he did that.

As for Matou's family house? Tamazuki had cleaned them up by burning that house with his fire. While it might bring unnecessary trouble, it didn't matter since he knew the police would think of it as a gas leak or something.

Then, when everything was over.

He returned to the world of shadows with Saber and Sakura.

"From now on, this will be your home."

Sakura, who had been holding Tamazuki's leg, watched her surroundings curiously as she looked at two beautiful older women in front of her while thinking this place would be her new home.

"As for them, you can think of them as your new mother."

"......"

In Sakura's mind, she wondered why she had a lot of mothers.

Nevertheless, everything will be good for Sakura from now on.
