Chapter 39
Back to Ten Years Ago

【Shibuya Miko: Wow! Such a big gem! And so sparkly! I'll let Lin Xuan see it, no matter how many times he wants to see it! Of course, if it’s Lin Xuan, he wouldn't even need a gem, right?】

【Asuna: This gem’s quality is really good, I've never seen a gem of such high quality. 】

The Yuuki family, as one of the four great Zaibatsu of Japan, their wealth is almost unimaginable, only slightly less than the Four Palaces family, one of the Four Great Families.

The gems that can be brought home by the Yuuki family are also of the highest quality in their world, but they are still inferior to the gems Lin Xuan casually throws out.

【Kocho Shinobu: So this is the Demon King who will unify the world? This is blinding! I thought the Lord’s family was already rich enough, I didn’t know there were other people even richer than him in this group. 】

Kocho Shinobu couldn’t help but complain. Although she had never been short of money since she joined the Demon Slayer Corps, being a Demon Slayer was a dangerous job, and the Lord Ubuyashiki never treated them poorly.

But all girls love shiny gems.

The Lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Ubuyashiki family, has businesses all over Japan. They are truly wealthy, but they don’t flaunt their wealth like Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan’s actions are like casually throwing a wad of cash to a beggar on the street.

Tohsaka Rin: Thank you for that, at least I’m a beggar.

【Lin Xuan: Money? That stuff is just a bunch of useless paper to a God Slayer. These gems are just gifts from a gem-producing country to curry favor with me. After all, they have no one else to give them to. 】

【Kocho Shinobu: Such a domineering statement. 】

【Tohsaka Rin: Lin Xuan! Do you have more? Please, take care of me! 嘤嘤嘤】

【Shibuya Miko: Shameless woman! 】

【Tohsaka Rin: I’ll do what I want, what’s it to you? 】

Lin Xuan smiled slightly.

He casually took out a few more gems from his spatial storage, even more beautiful than the previous one, and casually stuffed them into Tohsaka Rin’s arms.

“I have tons of this junk, there’s only me left in that world as a God Slayer. Those small countries would send me this junk as gifts every day. If I don’t accept them, they will panic, but I have no use for them, so I just keep them in my spatial storage and they pile up.”

Tohsaka Rin was drooling at the sight of these gems.

These are gems! Gems! Since her family lost all their money, she hasn’t fought such a wealthy battle! Moreover, these gems are of much better quality than the ones she had seen before, and can accommodate more of her magic.

This way, her Gem Magic will be even more powerful!

“Humph.”

Tohsaka Rin was in a good mood, she gave Lin Xuan a seemingly unintentional look.

For now, I forgive you for teasing me, taking advantage of me, and belittling Gem Magic.

Tohsaka Rin, who had received the gems, spoke with confidence, but how long would these few gems last her?

“By the way, Rin, would you like to go back to the past to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War? The Fifth Holy Grail War is so boring. Don’t you want to see your father with your own eyes? Then participate in the same Holy Grail War with your father?”

At this time, Lin Xuan remembered that he wanted to take Tohsaka Rin back to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

When he made that request, he just casually said it. When he left the Root, he almost forgot about it. He didn’t remember until now.

“Go back to the past? Can you even do that?”

Tohsaka Rin looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief. This is going back to the past! It's incredible. You’re a Fourth-Rank powerhouse, after all. You can even do something like this.

“Well, it is possible. What do you think? Want to go back and have a look?”

“Of course!”

Tohsaka Rin answered excitedly.

If she could really go back to the Fourth Holy Grail War, she would definitely want to go back. She has many questions about the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Her Tohsaka family was a very warm and loving family, but the Fourth Holy Grail War caused her childhood to be filled with tragedy, and it left her with countless questions.

How did her father die? What happened in the Fourth Holy Grail War? Why did her father send Sakura to the Tohsaka family, causing her own sister to suffer like this?

Although she learned some of the plot when she joined the group, it was only about the events of the Fifth Holy Grail War. She still knows nothing about what happened in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

She could not accept this outcome. She wants to go back to the past to change it all!

【Shibuya Miko: Time travel! Is it time travel? Go back to the past, wow! Lin Xuan, you can even do this, you are so amazing! 】

【Asuna: Is this something that humans can do? Then Lin Xuan can change a lot of regrets? Or prevent many bad things from happening? 】

【Lin Xuan: Of course, but you have to be prepared for the consequences of changing the past. Even if you change one small thing, you might cause a drastic change when you return to the future.】

【Kocho Shinobu: As long as you can pay this price, you can do it? 】

Kocho Shinobu was very excited. Doesn’t this mean that she has a chance to bring her sister back to life if something unexpected happens in her plan and her sister dies?

This made her feel a lot more at ease.

“Little Shinobu, what are you so happy about?”

At this moment, a voice interrupted Kocho Shinobu’s thoughts. She turned her head and saw Kocho Kanae leaning against the door, smiling at her.

“Are you chatting with friends in the chat group again?”

“Yes, I found something good.”

Kocho Shinobu nodded.

“In a few days, I’ll invite that mysterious strongman to our world. Then we’ll be saved. Once he makes a move, Kibutsuji Muzan will certainly cease to exist, and our lives will surely return to peace.”

Kocho Shinobu turned around and hugged Kocho Kanae with some longing.

Her personality is very different from the original work, and the fundamental reason for this is Kocho Kanae. While Kocho Kanae was still alive, Kocho Shinobu was still a little girl.

But after Kocho Kanae died, she put on a mask and hid her true self.

“That’s great.”

Kocho Kanae gently stroked Kocho Shinobu’s hair. Her eyes were full of tenderness. She knew a little about what Shinobu wanted to do.

How could she bear to let her sister die for her? But if she could live, she didn’t want to die either.

【Lin Xuan: Yes, I guess that's the price you have to pay? I'm not sure, my past has no regrets, so I don't need to change it.】
