CK Simulation, Creating the Style of Tsukino Fumi

Seeing that the Matou family was so understanding, Quinn was not stingy. He promised that if any Matou descendant wanted to study at the Clock Tower in the future, he would give them a spot. This small compensation was just a polite remark in the eyes of the Matou family's administrators, but it was imprinted in the mind of a young child.

But that wasn't important to Quinn.

Having dealt with the affairs of two Fuyuki families and finalized the ownership of the Greater Grail, Quinn, determined to obtain the Greater Grail first, rushed to the core of the spiritual vein in Fuyuki City—Mount Enzo.

However, just as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, a rather dejected-looking man had been waiting there for quite some time.

"Quinn Europa, the most promising magician of our time to become a Grand Master, are you here representing the Clock Tower, or Kenneth?"

The man spoke first upon seeing Quinn.

Looking at the man in front of him, Quinn raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected to see him at this time. According to the current plot, this man should be at the Einzbern residence.

“Of course he’s my teacher. I have no reason to serve the Clock Tower directly. Kiritsugu Emiya, on the contrary, why do you still dare to stay in Fuyuki? You’re the one who destroyed my teacher’s magic crest. Aren’t you afraid of being hunted down by the El-Melloi family?”

Facing the victor of the Fourth Holy Grail War in the original work, Quinn no longer treated the Tohsaka and Matou families with the same gentleness. His tone was so forceful that even Arcueid, who had been following him, was somewhat surprised. Thus, the princess of the True Ancestor did not hesitate and immediately entered battle mode.

"Is he your enemy?" Arcueid asked innocently, her voice filled with intense killing intent. "Should I do it? If I do it, it should save you a lot of time, so we can go ride the Ferris wheel again tonight."

In an instant, the previously peaceful atmosphere became deathly silent.

Cold sweat beaded on the forehead of the infamous magician killer, and Kiritsugu Emiya, who was about to say something polite, immediately raised his hands.

“I’m not here to cause trouble, I’m here to ask for help. I’ve brought information from the Einzbern family about the Greater Grail system.”

Chapter 164 How come she has a face like Morgan?

I escaped with my life...

Kiritsugu Emiya wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Arcueid who had suppressed her murderous intent and Quinn who looked surprised, and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he quickly picked up the briefcase next to him and handed it to Quinn.

"Could there be a bomb in here?"

With just one sentence, Kiritsugu Emiya became apprehensive again. He hadn't expected Queen to know him so well. If it were during the Holy Grail War, he really could have done something like that.

But at that moment, he merely gave a fawning laugh, opened his briefcase, and revealed the stacks of documents inside.

It actually is data?

Quinn was genuinely surprised. He carefully examined the somewhat tired man in front of him and realized that although the man looked dejected, he was actually in excellent spirits. The defeat in the Holy Grail War did not seem to have affected Kiritsugu Emiya at all; on the contrary, it made him full of energy.

This person might genuinely be asking for help.

Thinking this, Quinn also restrained his hostility, but he did not let his guard down. Instead, he kept probing this cunning and treacherous man who would do anything to achieve his goals with various questions. His questions were tricky, stimulating Kiritsugu Emiya's brain from his childhood to his family relationships and even his feelings as a loser, trying to dissect Kiritsugu Emiya's thoughts.

Meanwhile, Kiritsugu Emiya, who was being tortured, answered Quinn's various questions while sweating profusely. After revealing almost all the information about his ancestors for three generations, he finally gained Quinn's trust and proved that he had come to ask for help and had no other sinister intentions.

"So, to put it simply, you plan to use the Einzbern family's research data on the Greater Grail in exchange for the El-Melloi family's protection of your family? You want your wife and daughter to return to your side, settle down in Fuyuki City, and no longer be entangled in the Holy Grail War?"

Kiritsugu Emiya nodded.

Quinn fell silent. Unlike Tohsaka and Matou, he really had to seriously consider Kiritsugu Emiya's request. This was because Kenneth's Magic Crest was still destroyed by this Magician Killer. Such a grudge was an irreconcilable feud in the world of magicians. Even if the information Kiritsugu Emiya brought was extremely valuable, it might not be enough to compensate him for the losses he had caused to the El-Melloi family.

Whether Kenneth can accept the murderer who caused him to likely lose the opportunity to continue studying magic is also a question.

After much deliberation, Quinn shook his head. "The El-Melloi family would never agree, but... I can help you personally, freeing your daughter from the Einzbern family's control. As for your wife... I..."

Chapter 172

Remember she was a minor Holy Grail created by the Einzbern family? Now that the Holy Grail War is over, is she still alive?

“I used some special methods, and she can barely maintain her bodily functions now. As long as she doesn’t suffer any danger, she can last for a few more months. That’s why I came to you. You are Kenneth’s apprentice and a rising star in the Clock Tower. I’m sure you have the ability to help me contact a skilled puppeteer.”

This answer was exactly what Kiritsugu Emiya had expected. He hadn't expected the El-Melloi family to let him go anyway, so he promptly handed over the information about the Greater Grail to Quinn.

On the contrary, Quinn was surprised that Kiritsugu Emiya was able to keep his wife's body unaffected by the Holy Grail. After all, according to the original story, his wife should have been transformed into an artificial Lesser Grail by the middle and later stages of the Holy Grail War. But now that everything has changed drastically, it's no use worrying about such things.

Instead of overthinking, Quinn decided to focus on securing the benefits he could obtain. So, he stopped asking questions and simply asked Kiritsugu Emiya to take him to retrieve the Greater Grail.

Faced with Quinn's invitation, Kiritsugu Emiya did not refuse. In any case, he had already handed over the manufacturing data of the Greater Grail, so he didn't care about the Greater Grail that would inevitably be taken away by the Clock Tower. He simply acted as a collaborator and led Quinn, the emperor in all aspects, toward the interior of Mount Enzou.

With Kiritsugu Emiya, the traitor within the family, leading the way, the magic cast around the Greater Grail by the three starter families was naturally powerless to stop this group of "robbers" heading straight for the core of the ritual. In just a few minutes, the entire ritual base of the Fuyuki Greater Grail appeared before everyone's eyes.

When Quinn saw the Holy Grail, filled with gold, floating at the core of the ritual, he was surprisingly unmoved. He simply accepted the magical artifact with the power to grant wishes. As for the deadly evil of humanity hidden within it, Quinn did not see it as a danger. He had a way to purify the Great Grail. However, even if he purified it, he had no wishes he wanted to fulfill.

Quinn knew very well that the Holy Grail was a trap.

In his eyes, the greatest use of this thing was to help him establish Chaldea... well, perhaps, and also to help him pay off his debts.

Looking at the Holy Grail that was now in his hands, Quinn remembered the Star Trek Vanguard still on the moon, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.

When he promised to help the Moon UO deal with the Planetary Vanguard, he didn't say that he could only do it himself. Just like when he fought against the projection of Sefalu, he brought along a group of people to share the firepower. He could use a similar method to fight the Planetary Vanguard.

While Quinn was pondering, Kiritsugu Emiya anxiously spoke up, "Now that you've obtained the Holy Grail, can we discuss matters concerning my family?"

"Of course, take me to see your wife. I should be able to solve her problem myself. Consider it a deposit to you."

"you?"

Looking at the confident Quinn, Kiritsugu Emiya was bewildered. He had heard a lot about Quinn, but the most common news was about his restoration of fairy magic. Because of this news, many people believed that Quinn, like his teacher Kenneth, was a genius who had the potential to become a Grand rank and could stably reach the Color rank.

But regarding artificial humans...

Kiritsugu Emiya hadn't heard any related comments, which made him hesitate a little.

"Leaving aside Aozaki Touko, no one can surpass me in doll manufacturing technology."

In fact, in terms of sheer strength of their work, no one in the entire Type-Moon universe can surpass them. After all, who else in the world can create a doll of god-like quality?

Thinking of Jupiter, Quinn couldn't help but hum softly.

Just as Mordred was considered his best successor, Jupiter was Quinn's best creation and a benchmark representing his skill in doll making. Even setting aside this extreme case that is difficult to replicate, he was still an outstanding craftsman of the Age of Gods, personally recognized by the god of fire.

Quinn's confidence infected Kiritsugu Emiya. After only a slight hesitation, the husband, who cared about his family, stopped asking questions and drove Quinn and Arcueid back to his home.

About an hour later, Quinn saw the gate of the Emiya mansion and a small figure standing in front of it.

"?"

The moment Quinn saw that figure, his mind went blank, and he instinctively asked, "Who is that?"

“Oh, that’s my adopted daughter whom I took in not long ago.” Kiritsugu Emiya looked in the direction Queen was pointing and saw the figure sitting at his door waiting. A gentle and loving expression appeared on his face. “She is also a victim of the Holy Grail War. Her parents died in the aftermath of the Servant battle, and she herself has no memory of her own background. But unexpectedly, she has a lot of talent related to magic. I’m thinking about what name to give her recently.”

"...Just don't call him Shirou."

Quinn stared at the voice that looked like a miniature Morgan with a distorted expression, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"How could I possibly give a girl such a name?" Kiritsugu Emiya said, both amused and exasperated.

But it was this sentence that shattered Quinn's last psychological defenses. He slumped into the car seat with a blank stare, looking helplessly at the roof, his mind a complete mess.

Oh no, did I accidentally turn the entire Pan-Human History into a Lostbelt? Shirou Emiya is a woman, and she even has Morgan's face. What kind of weird place have I ended up in?

Chapter 165 Let's take another cat back then.

Kiritsugu Emiya's needs were easily met. After Quinn briefly demonstrated the doll-making technology from the Age of Gods that suppressed modern magicians, he embraced his android wife, who had been completely separated from the Holy Grail and had regained physiological functions equivalent to a normal human, and began to weep bitterly, forgetting that his attending physician, Quinn, who had just undergone surgery, was watching from the side.

After venting his emotions, Kiritsugu Emiya realized that he had neglected Quinn and quickly asked Quinn to stay at his house for the time being.

Quinn would never have agreed to his request before, but now, after seeing the special version of Emiya Shirou, or rather Emiya White, who looks almost exactly like Morgan, everything is different.

Quinn wouldn't let go of anything that might be related to Morgan, just like how he immediately went to grab Grey after his first simulation ended. But Morgan Shirou's special species was indeed a bit beyond his expectations, and he had to carefully check on the other party's situation.

So, taking advantage of Kiritsugu Emiya's invitation, Quinn also asked to examine his adopted daughter's magic circuits.

Although such a request would be considered extremely offensive to a magician, Kiritsugu Emiya was not exactly a proper magician. He was grateful to Quinn, the benefactor who had just saved his wife, and agreed to Quinn's request without much thought, allowing Quinn to examine his adopted daughter's physical condition.

Then Quinn came to a conclusion.

She is indeed Emiya Shirou, who was originally supposed to be the male protagonist of the harem in Fate/stay night. She has the same origin as that projection magician who is practically a bug in the system. However, she is the female version, and due to the changes in the world line caused by herself, she has become Morgan's vessel.

"Same situation as Grey's..."

Looking at the little girl who looked exactly like his wife, Quinn felt a bit of a headache. After completing the initial examination, he found traces of fairy magic in Shiro Emiya's body. It was obviously Morgan's doing. The woman who couldn't forget him was trying to use some method to break out of the Eternal Empire, which was isolated by Mordred, and enter the real world.

And the methods she used, even Quinn

Chapter 173

Even without investigating, one can guess a thing or two.

Because Kiritsugu Emiya still obtained the Avalon Sword Sheath, a relic that the Einzbern family had spent a long time finding, during this Holy Grail War. However, due to Quinn summoning Gawain for Kenneth, the Saber class that should have belonged to Kiritsugu Emiya was registered first, resulting in Kiritsugu Emiya summoning another Servant. Nevertheless, the power inherent in the Avalon Sword Sheath itself still allows it to be used as a powerful tool.

Most likely, Morgan used the Avalon sword sheath as an anchor point to interfere with Emiya Haku, the victim of the Holy Grail War, modifying her original body to make her a vessel for her smuggling.

Since that's the case, Quinn can't let this poor little girl, who's been targeted by Morgan, stay in Fuyuki City any longer. Otherwise, given Morgan's current mental state, who knows what kind of weirdo she'll become in the future? After all, based on Quinn's understanding of Morgan, his wife is capable of doing things like a mad god, using magic to whisper in people's ears and turn them into her puppets.

Therefore, after dinner, Quinn approached Kiritsugu Emiya and privately discussed the matter of his adopted daughter.

"...You want to take Bai away and make her your student?"

“Yes, she has great potential. I also need to recruit my own team. Although Professor Kenneth is still alive, he can no longer have his former status because of someone’s actions. You are also aware of the situation at the Clock Tower. If I cannot take the lead, the El-Melloi family will soon decline. At that time, let alone protecting your family, I may not be able to keep my promise to the Tohsaka and Matou families. I promise you, I will not harm her. She will attend classes and have holidays like a normal Clock Tower student.”

Quinn's confession silenced Kiritsugu Emiya. He didn't want his family to be involved in the conflicts of the magic world, but he also knew that given his family's situation, it was impossible not to get involved. He was prepared to sacrifice himself for his family's happiness. However, he didn't expect that Quinn would look down on him and instead take a liking to his adopted daughter.

Even though Shiro Emiya hadn't spent even a week with him, in Kiritsugu Emiya's heart, this little girl was special to him. She was a substitute for the weakness in his heart, a compensation for all the mistakes he had made in the past.

Kiritsugu Emiya couldn't bear to ask him to sacrifice his adopted daughter in exchange for a peaceful life for his other family members.

But in the ten or so seconds of his silence, Quinn had already seen the hesitation in his heart. Quinn, who knew this man fairly well, quickly understood the reason for his dilemma, and added, "Don't overthink it. I don't intend to have her come as a hostage. I really want to take her as my student. I am planning to set up a new institution. This is a collaboration with the Sovereign of the Astronomical Sciences. I need trusted confidants who can take on important roles in it. I will also arrange for the daughter of the Tohsaka family to be included."

Upon hearing this, Kiritsugu Emiya breathed a sigh of relief; he understood what Quinn meant.

In ancient Japan, Quinn's actions were similar to a local daimyo adopting samurai from his domain as pageboys. Besides the intention of taking hostages, it was also to cultivate trustworthy talents. This was definitely a good thing for the Emiya family. After all, the Emiya family was not a traditional magician family and did not have any family magic worth continuing. Haku would also act as a lubricant between the Emiya family and Quinn, increasing the level of trust between the two sides.

So, Kiritsugu Emiya nodded, which was taken as his agreement.

Seeing Kiritsugu Emiya nod, Quinn breathed a sigh of relief, because with the Emiya family's situation resolved, the remaining problems in Fuyuki City were completely cleaned up.

All he needs to do now is wait for the executor sent by the Clock Tower to visit Fuyuki, go through a simple process with him, and then return to the Clock Tower to prepare for his plan to join Chaldea. But before that...

Quinn turned his gaze back to his simulator interface, bringing up the results screen that he had only glanced at before tossing aside.

The scene depicted was not of the seven hills of Rome that he had founded, but of the Pantheon in Rome. Jupiter sat alone on the throne of the chief god, with Medusa's enormous wings forming a dome behind the figure. A human who looked quite young knelt below the two Roman goddesses. This religiously styled scene symbolized the evaluation of this settlement—Romane, the Origin of Esoteric Buddhism and Almighty God.

It seems I need to do some serious research on world history to see how this simulation, now that it's real, will affect history.
