Though he had anticipated the scene, when Duanmu Huai returned to the inn and saw the dilapidated building and the two people standing there, he was utterly speechless.
What in the world was going on?
Now, let's rewind the clock back two hours, just after Duanmu Huai and his party had departed for the harbor. A staggering figure appeared on the dim street.
"Sakura... is she there?"
A haggard, gaunt man glared fiercely at the inn before him. He was none other than the Magician of the Matou family, who had been ruined earlier, also the Master of BERSERKER. Originally hiding in the Spirit Vein for rest, he had unexpectedly learned of the destruction of the Matou family, even the whereabouts of Matou Zouken, the Family Head, were unknown.
Matou Ganyu didn't care about the old man's fate but was deeply concerned about Sakura. Thus, Matou Ganyu, along with his Servants, scoured everywhere and, perhaps due to good fortune, finally found the girl in this inn.
