Type-Moon: Root Seiko

I was simply drawn to beautiful things and wanted to watch these lovely children grow up! It's a perfectly legitimate and noble thing to do!

After Sakura, who is a year younger, also discovered that her older sister had run away, she ran over in a spoiled manner.

Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was working in his study, glanced at Rozen from afar.

He couldn't help but marvel at how lucky the Grand Doll Maker was to have found such a perfect assistant.

Over the course of these few days, Tokiomi Tohsaka became increasingly aware of the peculiar nature of this unusual boy.

Tokiomi has thoroughly tested him and, at the very least, confirmed that he is not a magician.

Luo Zhen has absolutely no magic circuits, so he is an ordinary person who is completely isolated from magic.

But he seems to have a natural eye for magic, able to see through the essence and structure of magic at a glance, possessing the ability to deconstruct and analyze.

Therefore, with Aozaki Touko's help, although he could not use magic, he could freely control the puppets made by the puppeteer, and the cat's body seemed to be used in this way.

Tokiomi deliberately brought him along to participate in the education of his daughters on several occasions, explaining some basic knowledge of the Tohsaka family's magic.

Luo Zhen became like a teaching assistant with perfect understanding with him, making his two daughters' learning progress by leaps and bounds, and explaining things more clearly and easily than he himself.

This easily won over the daughters, leaving Tokiomi somewhat frustrated... but let's leave that aside for now.

Such a gifted, knowledgeable, and insightful young man is an assistant that any magical family would be eager to have, which made Tokiomi admire his talent.

If he could marry into my family...

Tokiomi couldn't help but ponder in his mind, calculating the age gap between himself and his daughters, wondering if there would still be a chance in ten years.

...But then again, his vast knowledge of ancient and modern times, and the mature demeanor he occasionally displays.

And his occasional remarks and actions, which seem to indicate that he is very familiar with his family's great teacher, Jewel King... are also influenced by Aozaki Touko?

Before Tokiomi could ponder further, Rōjin's voice rang out: "Mr. Tokiomi, shall we begin today's lesson?"

He now frequently visits the Tohsaka residence, coming and going as an assistant.

Because of the contract, Tokiomi Tohsaka must hide the existence of the Grand Puppeteer Aozaki Touko behind the scenes, and he must not let anyone know that Rai is her representative.

Therefore, in order to make it public, Tokiomi had Luo Zhen act as his assistant and apprentice, allowing him to gradually become familiar with the key figures in Fuyuki City.

After all, the Holy Grail War is still a long way off, and Tokiomi himself is still digging for relics to summon Servants, so there's no rush.

As a gesture of sincerity to solidify this cooperative relationship, Tokiomi gracefully rose and said, "Before that, Lord Luo, why don't you come with me to a place first?"

"Rin and Sakura are coming too, you'll definitely be happy."

Chapter 11 A New Life with a House and a Car

"Hmm~?"

The two adorable daughters tilted their heads in bewilderment.

Tokiomi Tohsaka owns a car, but he doesn't drive it himself; his wife, Aoi Tohsaka, uses it.

After all, magicians are generally unfamiliar with modern technology. Tokiomi Tohsaka himself is a mechanical idiot, and cars are a novelty that he can't understand.

The mustachioed man sat in the passenger seat, with his wife driving.

Luo Zhen sat in the back seat, dealing with the two energetic little princesses, chatting and laughing as if they were a real, lively family.

The group drove to a residential area in the northern part of Fukayama Town, where the surrounding environment gradually became secluded and quiet.

This area consists mostly of historic old mansions; you can hardly find any high-rise buildings with more than three floors. Each household is a detached house with its own courtyard.

"Luo Zhenjun, you've still been living in a hotel until now, haven't you?"

The elegant-looking Mr. Tokiomi glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "This is really against etiquette, and it's my negligence as the host. You should also have a real place to stay."

Luo Zhen had a good idea of ​​what Tokiomi Tohsaka meant.

as predicted.

Upon arriving at the gate of a walled Japanese mansion, Tokiomi gestured for his family to get out of the car.

He led the way through the gate and said to Luo Zhen in the courtyard, which had been leveled and cleaned, "Luo Zhenjun, this residence is now yours to use as you see fit."

"This is the residence of an elderly gentleman named Fujimura, a local magnate who has had many dealings with my Tohsaka family. I discussed it with him and asked him to sell this vacant residence to me."

"After all, you need a decent place to live and a corresponding lifestyle. I hope that in the future you can truly consider Fuyuki City as your home."

“…I understand. Thank you very much for your consideration, Mr. Tokiomi.”

Luo Zhen understood and nodded his thanks.

Tokiomi Tohsaka, of course, also knew that the Grand Doll Maker, Touko Aozaki, was most likely hiding somewhere in Fuyuki City.

However, due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, and the binding force of the contract,

Tokiomi gave up trying to uncover her secrets early on, lest he get himself into trouble.

However, there is still a chance to win over Luo Zhen, his assistant.

The sale of this luxury mansion was quite extravagant, and also perfectly timed.

Luo Zhen, of course, understood that Tokiomi Tohsaka's investment was an investment to maintain the relationship between the two sides.

But on that basis, he also quite liked Tokiomi's statement that he "treats Fuyuki City as his own home".

Even if it was just to reciprocate this kindness, Luo Zhen readily accepted: "Such a big house, it would be such a waste for me to live alone."

"How about we renovate it so that Rin and Sakura can come here to play more often? If you want to come in the future, I'll pick you up, okay?"

"Oh dear, we still need to buy Luo Zhenjun a car."

Ms. Tohsaka Aoi clapped her hands happily: "Roshin-kun, you should be old enough to take your driver's test, right? Actually, I quite like driving, but unfortunately Tokiomi has absolutely no interest in it."

“I know a driving instructor, I’ll introduce you to him, and you’ll get your license quickly! Then we can go pick out a nice car, what do you say, Tokiomi?”

"Yes. This makes me feel more grounded in Fuyuki City. I think it's great." The elegant uncle nodded happily.

This family truly treated me with their whole heart.

Even if we take into account that all of this was Tokiomi Tohsaka's calculations out of a cooperative relationship, his wife and daughter's good intentions were genuine.

This was enough reason for Luo Zhen to repay him, making him accept it gladly.

-----------------

Rin Tohsaka, the eldest princess of the Tohsaka family, has been very happy every day lately!

At the age of six, Rin Tohsaka had just started elementary school.

After the short New Year holiday, she began her routine life, traveling to and from Suiqunyuan Elementary School with her mother.

Actually, Rin didn't like going to school.

Because children of the same age are all immature, far less sensible than Rin Tohsaka, who received strict upbringing.

Furthermore, due to her father's indoctrination from a young age, Rin already had a basic understanding of the fact that "magicians and ordinary people are absolutely separated," and she was also strictly taught by her father not to talk about magic with ordinary people.

She had also heard her mother say that her father and mother had actually discussed whether or not to send her to school.

In the end, the father decided that, considering the noble obligations of the Tohsaka family, he should make more contact with the commoners of Fuyuki City, whom he was destined to rule in the future.

Noblesse Oblige (Noble Oblige).

The seed of responsibility for writing about "high position and great power" was planted in Rin Tohsaka's young heart long ago.

She hasn't quite grasped this point yet, but she thinks her father, who is always elegant, is very handsome, and that listening to him is definitely the right thing to do.

So even though going to school was troublesome, Rin Tohsaka still insisted on being obedient and becoming an excellent student in the eyes of her teachers and classmates, contributing to the elegance of the Tohsaka family...

...And then, Rin Tohsaka has come to absolutely love going to school!

Because that older brother named Luo Zhen suddenly came to Fuyuki City.

He not only brought Gin's adorable kitten (which is now being fostered at the Tohsaka family), but also made Rin especially look forward to coming home every day and being able to rest her head on its soft belly and enjoy the feeling of rejuvenating.

Moreover, the older brother was very handsome and gentle. He would answer any question I asked, and his explanations were even clearer than my father's.

Every time he spoke to me, he would squat down in front of me, his smile as warm as the sunshine.

Every time Rin sees him, she feels more radiant than when she sees the finest gemstone, as if she is instinctively drawn to him.

Even his father valued him highly, and the atmosphere was different every time he faced him.

For young Rin Tohsaka, Raijin was someone who, besides family, was...

The first person to enter your life, someone with whom you can share all your secrets.

My dad said that although he is not a magician, he knows a lot about magic and I can ask him anything I don't understand.

Sometimes he would accompany his sister to class, and then easily understand the obscure content his father was explaining, and then explain it to him clearly and concisely.

Although at times like these, my father's expression would be somewhat grim, as if he were a little sad...

But Rin was very happy and was increasingly looking forward to the days when her brother Rozen would come to class with her!

Then, ever since he got his driver's license and bought a car...

He said he wanted to ease his mother's burden by picking him up from school every day!

Although Rin didn't know why either
