Fate/Gamer Alternative

Chapter 6

Zouken Matou is a powerful Magus

Pft. I'm sorry. That was a joke

In terms of Magecraft, he's nowhere near proficient as Justeaze, or as badass as Nagato. The only troublesome thing he'd had going on is his worms

Worms that grant infinite regeneration and immortality of the body and soul. Worms that are almost impossible to kill without the right amount of preparations from my part

The shadow of the house loomed over me as I pushed open the door, greeted by the darkness inside. A darkness that has lingered in this estate since the founding of its family

"Grandpa, I'm home"

"..."

"...Where is Sakura?"

I smiled. It was a Yorokube-worthy smile, something that caused his eyes to narrow 

"She's currently being nursed at school. They said it's an injury from falllling down the stairs. Sprained ankle and all that shit"

"And you, her brother, did not think to carry that girl home to continue her treatment? She will be safer here with me, her grandfather"

"Tch. Why does it have to be me to do all the work around here"

"Boy..."

"Alright, alright, old man. I'll be going back. You don't mind "

I waved at him. Holding out my bagpack, I let it slip down the door near him. With a nudge, I made sure the bag is placed near Zouken's proximity

He has a habit of staying in one place, that is the living room. From approximately four to seven in the evening, that is his sanctuary, the place that he, or rather, his "main body", rest in 

I took out the detonator and pressed the button

The next moment, the Matou estate as we know it ceased to exist in the cloud of blinding white that followed

________________

Five days ago, I began formulating a plan to kill my own grandfather

To do so, I will need two things. Someone capable with exorcism, and an array of AOE weaponry. One to exorcise his soul, and the other to exorcise his body

"So you're really going to do it?"

Walking home, my blonde friend asked me

"I don't have a choice" I ignored Gil "It's either him or my sister. Worst case scenario, even I would die, so why not take the initiative to do so?"

"But Shinji, it's really hard to find another friend like you"

"Nice fucking joke, dude"

"I'm serious though. It's not easy to find someone who is neither a follower nor a lord" He looked toward the sunset while sucking on a piece of melting ice cream

"One follow me with blinding devotion. The other look at me with mortal fear. Finding someone who is an equilibrium is like finding diamond in a desert"

Aren't you the same guy who declare Enkidu as your best and only friend?

Oh wait, this is a different version of him. Even if they are the same person, the individual experience can't be the same

My face twisted

"I'm just a trashy guy doing trashy stuff to preserve his trashy life. Any guy who look at me and call me a hero deserves a punch to the face. I'm just a coward"
