Fate: A Hero's Netori Conquest

　　at the same time.

　　Tohsaka Rin sat in the classroom at school, her eyes drifting out the window from time to time, expecting that familiar figure to appear.

　　However, her good friend Kotone has not come to class yet, which makes her feel a little uneasy, after all, Kotone is her closest friend.

　　Since the outbreak of the Holy Grail War, Tōsaka Tokiomi sent his daughter and wife to live temporarily in Zen Castle in order to protect them.

　　Although Tohsaka Rin still went to Fuyuki's elementary school every day, after class she would always be picked up by her family's driver and taken back to Zen Castle.

　　Although this kind of life is stable, she can't forget her friends.

　　She tried calling Kotone's home, but Kotone's parents were unwilling to reveal any information.

　　I heard that there was a serial disappearance of children in Fuyuki City and even the police were helpless.

　　As a girl from a family of magicians, Tohsaka Rin knew that this must be the work of some evil magician.

　　Although she could turn to her father, a magician, for help, Tōhsaka Tokiomi was a participant in the Holy Grail War, and her mother strictly forbade her to disturb her father.

　Tohsaka Rin was in trouble because of this and felt very upset.

　　Finally, she decided to go look for Kotone herself.

　　All along, Kotone has been the one who needs her protection. Usually at school, whenever Kotone is bullied by other girls or forced to clean the classroom alone, Rin will help.

　　This feeling of being relied upon makes Tohsaka Rin feel proud.

　　She believed that Kotone must be waiting for her to save her.

　　So, she disobeyed her mother's orders and sneaked out of the house under the cover of night.

　　She took with her the magic pointer and two gems given to her by her father, which were her important magic weapons.

　Tohsaka Rin carefully made her way to the nearest station and boarded a late train to Fuyuki.

　　An hour later.

　　Under the cover of moonlight, Tohsaka Rin arrived in Fuyuki City on the evening bus.

　　The night was dark and she had no choice but to embark on the journey to find the sound of the piano alone.

　　If the criminal is truly a magician, then his actions will certainly be accompanied by strong fluctuations of magical power, which will be detected by the magic pointer.

　　So, holding the magic pointer, Tohsaka Rin began to explore in the night of Fuyuki City.

　　The streets are dimly lit and bustling with people enjoying the nightlife.

　　Even if this murderous magician was extremely crazy, he would not commit his crime in public.

　　With such thoughts in mind, Tohsaka Rin turned towards the dark alley.

　　As she went deeper, the magic pointer in her hand began to spin violently, and the direction it pointed became clearer and clearer.

　　Finally, she arrived at the door of an underground bar.

　　It was dark, dirty and messy here, like a den of filth and dirt, and the magic pointer was spinning madly.

　Tohsaka Rin's heart trembled. This was undoubtedly the hiding place of the magician!

　　But looking at the dark and damp underground bar, TohsakaTohsaka Rin was very scared, and she was not sure whether she should go down to take a look.

　　As brave as she was, she was just a little girl at this moment.

　　Suddenly, a big hand patted her shoulder.

　　"Ah!" Tohsaka Rin was so scared that she made a childish sound.

　　She was so scared that she jabbed back with the gem.

　　Haru immediately grabbed her hand and cursed, "What are you doing? Do you want to kill the teacher?"

　　This time, Tohsaka Rin came to her senses and found that it was her most hated teacher Haru.

　　"Teacher Haru? Why are you here?" Tohsaka Rin was relieved and asked in a reproachful manner.

　　She was very angry that Haru suddenly appeared behind her.

　　"I live nearby and I came out to have a midnight snack. Is that weird?" Haru shrugged and smiled.

　　"But you—why are you here?"

　　"This isn't a safe place at night. Where's your mother?"

　Haru's series of questions scared Tohsaka Rin so much that her face turned red.

　　I clearly ran out secretly, but I didn't expect to be discovered by this stinky teacher.

　　hateful...

　　And if he notified his mother to come over, I would definitely be scolded.

　　"You, you, you...don't bother yourself! I'm here to save Kotone. If you, as her teacher, don't go to save Kotone, I have to come by myself!" Tohsaka Rin pouted and cursed.

　　Haru smiled slightly.

　　Yeah, the fish are starting to take the bait.

　　"You want to save Kotone? What happened to Kotone? Oh, she didn't seem to come to class today..." Haru continued his performance.

　　"Yes! She hasn't come to class for two days! Her parents refused to say anything!" Tohsaka Rin was so angry that she almost cried.

　　"Oh, yes, her parents seemed to say that everything was fine... Then how did you know that Kotone was in trouble? And you can find her by coming here?" Haru continued to act confused.

　　"I..." Tohsaka Rin was stunned.

　　She didn't want to reveal that she was a magician.

　　You know, a magician must follow the principle of secrecy and concealment. If an ordinary person like Haru knew that he was a magician, he would definitely be killed according to the principle.

　　Although I hate this teacher, I won't kill him.

　　Can...

　　What should I do now?

　　Otherwise, I can only hide it...

　　"I can tell you why, but you have to keep this secret, otherwise you will die a miserable death!" Tohsaka Rin said sternly.

　　"Okay, okay! I love keeping secrets the most!" Haru said with a smile.

　　You see, you don't know anything about me and your mother.

　　"Okay! Let me tell you, I'm a magician. After my testing, I found that there's a high probability that Kotone was captured here, and the enemy here must be a magician!" Tohsaka Rin said seriously.

　　"So that's how it is. Then let's go and save Kotone!" Haru said with a smile.

　　"Huh? You just believe it?" Tohsaka Rin was stunned.

　　"You are my student, why don't you believe it? Besides, saving people is the most important thing now. If I doubt it, it will delay the time of saving people!" Haru said with a smile.

　　"This..." Tohsaka Rin's face suddenly turned red.

　　He...is not that annoying actually...

　　Still very reliable...

　　So, Haru took Tohsaka Rin's hand and walked towards the damp and dim underground bar together.

　　The two of them quietly walked into the bar.

　Kotone and others were soon discovered.

　　"It's here!" Tohsaka Rin hurried over to untie Kotone.

　　At this time, Medea, played by Circe, jumped out and shouted with poor acting skills: "Wow! Who are you? Let go of my prey!"

　Tohsaka Rin was immediately startled and shouted to Haru: "What should I do?"

　　Without saying a word, Haru rushed towards Circe, sacrificed himself to control Circe, and turned back to shout: "Lin, take them away quickly!"

　　"But you..." Tohsaka Rin burst into tears.

　　She didn't expect that Haru was actually a good man who would sacrifice his own life for justice!

　　At this moment, a different feeling was suddenly planted in the girl's heart.
