Chapter 148: The Clock Tower's Ethics.

Fuyuki.

Sakura Matou was sitting alone quietly on the balcony, looking at the star-studded plain outside.

On the night that the Holy Grail War ended, the girl restored the broken Greater Holy Grail to its original state in an incomprehensible way. Even Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was present at the time, could not understand how his daughter did it.

But he soon came to a conclusion - he had to hide the fact that the Greater Holy Grail was repaired by Sakura.

Therefore, Tohsaka Tokiomi claimed to the outside world that the teacher of the Tohsaka family's ancestor had left behind a special magic to repair the Holy Grail.

After all, with such an unpredictable power, not many people would believe it even if Tōsaka Tokiomi claimed that it was his daughter who did it.

People are only willing to believe what they see with their own eyes...and it just so happens that the ancestor's teacher is a good shield.

After all, that was Gem Master, a special being known as the 'Magician'.

Even if he was a prophet and left behind the secret technique to repair the Holy Grail, no one would find it strange.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps behind me.

Sakura Matou didn't look back. A girl with disheveled hair and wearing furry pajamas walked to the balcony and covered Sakura Matou's shoulders with a thick cloak.

"Still thinking about the Holy Grail War, Sakura?"

Then, the girl's voice rang out from the balcony.

The eldest daughter of the head of the Tosaka family, Tosaka Rin.

In the world view of the original work, Sakura Matou and Rin Tohsaka were separated when they were very young, but because Alvin saved Sakura Matou in the past, the world line changed.

Although Sakura Matou's surname is still "Matou" and she is considered a child of the Matou family, she does not live in the Matou family.

Over the past two days, Tōsaka Tokiomi has been discussing with the head of the Matou family about the inheritance of the 'Magic Seal'.

The more he learned about the details, the more frightened Tōsaka Tokiomi became.

Using the seal bug to corrupt a girl, changing her attributes so that she can become the heir to the Matou family's magic seal... Just hearing what Matou Zouken had planned to do to Matou Sakura in the past, even Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was always elegant and calm, was shaking with anger.

It was from the day he learned the truth that he gradually understood why Saber "kidnapped" Sakura during the Fourth Holy Grail War, and even seemed to be dismissive of him.

As a magician, Tōsaka Tokiomi is indeed qualified, but if he sent Sakura Matou to the Matou family and really let his daughter be transformed into a "bug shape" by the Crimson Bug... even if he was completely unaware of it, it would be a dereliction of duty as a father.

Fortunately, no major disaster occurred... Even after the Holy Grail War ended, Tōsaka Tokiomi would still feel a lingering fear whenever he thought of these things.

However...Tōsaka Tokiomi obviously didn't realize that his daughter's safety was indeed resolved, but he also had a "heartache" because of it.

During the Fourth Holy Grail War, being saved by an enemy Servant was like a ray of sunshine seeping through the cracks for the young girl.

The light of hope she saw when the darkness was broken, even today when the Holy Grail War has ended, the girl is still filled with nostalgia and longing.

I miss the amazement I felt when I first saw the boy, and I long to see that mythical hero again.

After the Holy Grail War ended, despite being exhausted, Tōsaka Tokiomi still began to work hard to prepare for the next Holy Grail War.

But he didn't know that his daughter also had great expectations for the next Holy Grail War.

In the entire Tohsaka family, only Tohsaka Rin knows what her sister is thinking.

Matou Sakura turned her head to look at her sister and whispered, "Are you here to persuade me?"

Even though Sakura Matou did not participate in the last Holy Grail War, she was well aware of its dangers.

If Tōsaka Tokiomi knew his daughter's thoughts, he would most likely stop her from participating in the next Holy Grail War.

Therefore, Sakura Matou never told her father about her expectations for the Holy Grail War.

Toosaka Rin was slightly startled, and quickly said helplessly: "I'm not trying to persuade you... Rather, I will support you no matter what you want to do."

"But if you want to summon a specific Servant, you need the corresponding Holy Relic... Father said that Holy Relics are extremely difficult to obtain, and many times it is not us who choose the Holy Relics, but the Holy Relics that choose us... Which Servant you can summon actually depends on luck."

The underlying meaning of her words was that she hoped her sister would not be too obsessed with the White Dragon... After all, ancient Britain was too far away from the present. Unless there was some special information, where could one find ancient Britain in modern times, especially the relics left by the White Dragon?

"Dad seems to be in poor health recently... I should spend more time with him."

Toosaka Rin spoke again.

Matou Sakura was slightly stunned and subconsciously said: "What's wrong with him?"

These past two days, she had been thinking about when the next Holy Grail War would be and where to obtain the Holy Relics... but she hadn't paid much attention to matters at home.

Toosaka Rin's eyes dimmed slightly, and she whispered, "It seems to be related to the 'black mud' from the last Holy Grail War."

Black mud, or 'all the evil in this world', anyone touched by the black mud may be eroded by the 'curse'.

Tōsaka Tokiomi actually didn't really touch the black mud at that time, but he had poured too much effort into the Fourth Holy Grail War, but ended up with such a failure. Although Matou Sakura later repaired the Holy Grail, the breath he had been holding had nowhere to be released, and his body was still somewhat damaged due to the depression.

During this period, Aoi Tohsaka was always by her husband's side.

"So many things happened..."

Matou Sakura's eyes moved slightly, and she quickly looked up at her sister and whispered, "Father, where is father?"

She had just returned to the Tohsaka family not long ago, so she was still somewhat unfamiliar with Tohsaka Tokiomi.

After all, it was Tohsaka Tokiomi who personally sent Sakura Matou to the Matou family.

"He just visited the Holy Church and seemed to be trying to learn about the next Holy Grail War."

Toosaka Rin said.

After saying that, the girl reached out and gently placed her hand on her sister's head, her eyes soft. "After this, I will help you find the White Dragon's holy relic."

Sakura Matou was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the girl in front of her.

She seemed a little uncomfortable being stared at by her sister. She coughed lightly and said, "Don't, don't think too much. After all, you are my sister. Although I sometimes don't quite understand your thoughts...but as the eldest sister, of course I will help you realize your wish."

At the end of her words, she turned her face away and tried to keep her expression as calm as possible.

In the dim light, two shy blushes appeared on that fair and delicate face.

Sakura Matou was silent for a long time, then her eyes softened and she revealed an extremely gentle smile.

"Thank you...sister."

It was not until this moment that the girl's closed heart finally opened up a crack for her sister for the first time.

……

Why do I feel like I'm going to end up in a dark room any second...?

Looking at the woman in front of him, Alvin appeared calm as an old dog, but he was actually very panicked inside.

As early as when the system reminded him, he had already thought about whether he would trigger the 'small black room CG' at some point, but he still didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

At this moment, a cold, soft little hand gently rested on the boy's chest.

Gray...or rather, Morgan, who was clinging to her, looked at the boy with a smile and said softly, "Why is your heart beating so fast?"

How could it not be fast? If this wasn't the clock tower, Alvin would have already used the magic power of the white dragon's core.

I wanted to, but since this situation wasn't suitable for using force, I had to find another way...

Alvin stared at Morgan's fair and delicate face. She was still on top of him, in a superior position, admiring his expression and reaction with interest.

It was obvious that she enjoyed the feeling of being in control of everything.

"Sister Wang, during the last Holy Grail War, did you also think of summoning me as your Servant?"

Alvin suddenly asked.

Morgan was startled by the sudden question, and then he answered with a soft "hmm".

"If I had known from the beginning that it was you who summoned me... I would have responded to your expectations and become your Servant."

Alvin first expressed his "sincerity".

Seeing Morgan's lack of reaction, he revealed a helpless expression and continued, "I've already said that during the Holy Grail War, as long as it didn't cross my line, I would choose my Master... If my Master at the time was you, I would have firmly chosen you as well."

The charming silver-haired beauty opened her eyes and glanced at him: "What if the choice is between me and Lily?"

As expected, they would ask this question... Alvin was not hesitant and said, "I will still choose you."

Morgan was stunned for a moment, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded away, followed by an indescribable joy.

In Morgan's worldview, the only woman who can compete with her is her sister. Even though they seem to have reconciled now, she is actually still resentful in her heart.

The proud witch has only ever lost to her younger sister, so she strives to be better than her sister in every aspect...even when it comes to beating Alvin.

The boy's extremely sincere answer and serious look also made Morgan stunned for a moment.

After a moment, an unnatural blush flashed across her delicate face. She coughed lightly and said calmly, "Don't think I'll be fooled by such talk to deceive a little girl... I'm not like Lily, an inexperienced person."

After saying that, she moved away from Alvin, sat silently on the edge of the bed, and casually played with a strand of her hair.

Tsundere is really interesting... Alvin couldn't help but smile in his heart.

The queen, who is usually so high and mighty, is quite interesting when she is embarrassed...

Morgan is usually aloof and aloof, with an arrogant attitude that says "keep away from strangers" and "everyone here is a bug".

Even the words she says are often very sharp-tongued...but she often can't stand blunt words, especially from people she cares about.

Although she gets angry easily, Sister Wang, who becomes shy if you give her a little bit of advice or confession... is actually quite cute.

Sister Wang is indeed a top-notch woman. If Lily is a bit old-fashioned and a little arrogant, then Sister Wang is a sharp-tongued and arrogant person... Thinking about it this way, could it be that the sisters' arrogance is inherited from their ancestors?

In the closed room, Alvin secretly admired Morgan's shy and charming look.

A woman like her, who is usually quiet and cold, can be extremely strong, which can make people feel a little intimidated.

But once such a beauty becomes shy...it becomes difficult for men to resist.

Even though Alvin had already had an intimate relationship with her, he still couldn't help but walk over and sit down next to Morgan.

The charming and enchanting beauty rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you looking at? Don't you want your eyes anymore?"

Compared to the stern look when she first entered the room, she was obviously less cold and more feminine in charm.

"I left Fuyuki quite early. Did anything happen afterwards?"

Alvin began to change the subject.

Morgan said calmly, "I had a fight with your little lover, and I left shortly after that... I don't know what happened to Fuyuki afterwards."

"But... I think Lily should still be alive."
