Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice II

Chapter 385

It's been more than a week since Rin came back to Fuyuki City. She figured that inheriting her family legacy would involve a simple task of surveying the Leylines here and reporting back to the Mage's Association and the Church. But, once she got her hands into it, she couldn't help but notice how much of a hassle it could be.

The most pressing issue she discovered was the peculiar nature of Fuyuki City's Leylines. There was definitely something eerie lurking within them, muddling the magical energy and making it all chaotic and impure.

With the duty of managing the city's Leylines falling on her shoulders, Rin knew she had to get to the bottom of this situation. After meticulously inspecting the Leylines of Fuyuki City, she pinpointed the most contaminated spot - the side branch Leyline near the coast.

In her mind, this could very well be the root cause of the Leyline's strange behavior in Fuyuki City. She was determined to dig deeper into this side branch Leyline, but there was a problem—it was hidden deep underground.

To carry out the investigation, she had no choice but to break through the surface and venture underground. Unfortunately, the Fourth Holy Grail War had taken a toll on the Tohsaka family's Magic Crest, depleting most of their resources in the search for a Tuner to repair it.

Thankfully, the Edelfelt family stepped in to provide the funds for the excavation. Luviagelita Edelfelt, the current head of the family, had formed a contract with Rin as the "Edelfelt Twins." However, Luvia had a penchant for extravagance. Instead of opting for a subtle approach, she went all out by acquiring the land directly from the Fuyuki City government through a real estate project. Then, with construction fences in place, she wasted no time and started digging right away.

As the one offering financial support to Rin, Luvia had only one request.

"Come on, my silly little sister, show your dear sister a cute smile," Luvia teased in a sarcastic tone, poking fun at Rin, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit.

Rin clenched her teeth, her eye twitched with irritation, and she reluctantly mustered a smile, "Tha... thank you... sister."

Deep down, she was bleeding emotionally. For nine long years, she had always stood her ground against Luvia, but this time, she was defeated by the sheer wealth of the Edelfelt family.

"Hahaha, what a stupid look, Tohsaka! You look just like a pig, how dumb!" Luvia laughed loudly, clutching her stomach in pain, tears almost streaming down her face.

Auguste, the butler from the Edelfelt family, interjected from the sidelines, "Miss, do mind your manners."

Shaking her head, Astraea couldn't help but feel a headache creeping in.

The woman possessed by her was typically as graceful as the goddess herself, but whenever she crossed paths with this certain woman named Tohsaka, her elegance seemed to vanish, and she'd act and do something foolish.

Rin's face darkened, suspecting that Luvia had likely followed her from the Edelfelt family just to taunt her, didn't she?

"One day, I'll find a way to get rid of you!" Rin vowed silently to herself.

Right then, her alchemy stone vibrated ever so slightly.

She carefully set the alchemy stone on a nearby record player, and before long, a male voice emanated from the speakers, "Rin, how's everything going? Have you managed to gain recognition from both the Mage's Association and the Church?"

"The Mage's Association acknowledged me as the manager of Fuyuki City's Leyline. However, the Church requires me to deal with the anomalies in the Leyline first, father," Rin responded.
