Skadi, returning to infinity

If he disagrees, then there's nothing more to say.

"Okay, I'll ask the teacher later."

Skadi didn't insist. She looked at Rin, who was running down from upstairs, and opened her arms.

"Skadi, my sister~"

She had just opened her arms when Rin pounced on her and fell into her embrace.

"Honey, didn't we just see each other yesterday?"

Skadi gently patted her head and then kissed her forehead.

"Last night... was a little scary..."

Rin clung to Skadi's waist and wouldn't let go. Dio's attack last night had made her feel an unprecedented sense of danger.

This fear is difficult to dispel even with one's mother by one's side.

But somehow, the moment she saw Skadi and rushed into her arms, she felt completely at peace.

It's as if with Skadi by my side, I don't have to worry or be afraid of anything.

She didn't know why, but that didn't stop her dependence on Skadi.

"Okay, I know. Someone attacked this place last night."

Skadi knew perfectly well that Dio and Muzan would come to the Tohsaka Mansion, and that they would attack it.

Why do I seem to really look forward to Gilgamesh fighting them, even to the point of both sides being severely injured?

Was her concern for Aoi and Rin genuine, or was she simply not concerned about them at all?

That's not true.

Skadi had given them an A-grade accessory to protect them six months ago, and they had been making them wear it every day since.

If Dio and Muzan really fought Gilgamesh and destroyed the Tohsaka Mansion...

When Aoi Tohsaka and Rin Tohsaka encounter danger, the protective function of their accessories will be triggered, and they will be teleported directly to their secret villa.

At that point, she wouldn't need to do anything more; she could simply soothe their emotions and reunite the three women.

Even if they were to die in battle, I could use the [Reincarnation Technique] to resurrect them directly.

With double protection in place, she had no worries about the safety of the mother and daughter from the very beginning.

This also shows that Skadi really cares about the two of them.

After all, they were Skadi's chosen and nurtured blood relatives for a long time.

Assimilation will begin once they reach Skadi's secret villa.

Now that neither the attack triggering the accessory's effect nor the deaths during the attack have occurred, Skadi needs to calm them down.

Then they waited for Tokiomi Tohsaka to arrive.

Chapter 30: Going straight to the root? I can too.

"Hmm? Skadi, are you here today because of last night's attack?"

The doorbell rang, and Aoi Tohsaka went to open the door.

After a while, Tokiomi Tohsaka slowly walked back from outside the door.

After changing his shoes in the entryway, he sat opposite Skadi, watching the girl ask curiously...

"I only found out about the attack last night after I arrived."

"I'm here today to take my teacher's wife and Rin to a safe place."

"After all, if the Holy Grail War starts, it would be very dangerous for the two of them to be here."

"My concerns have proven to be correct."

"Last night's attack showed that this place is no longer safe, and they need a safe place."

Skadi got straight to the point, stating her purpose and thoughts.

“I had thought of that too, so I originally planned to have Kirei pick them up.”

"But since you're here, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Compared to Kirei, you make me feel more at ease."

Kirei Kotomine and Skadi were both his students, so theoretically they should be about the same.

The problem is that Kirei Kotomine knew Tokiomi Tohsaka for a longer period of time and had more interactions with him.

Koskadi went directly to the Tohsaka residence and built a good relationship with Tohsaka Aoi and Tohsaka Rin.

Furthermore, Tokiomi Tohsaka acknowledges Skadi's magic.

They are familiar with each other, are of the same sex, are skilled in magic, and own a large, independent villa.

Having Rin Tohsaka and Aoi Tohsaka live with her is undoubtedly the best solution.

"I'm fine with it. Now it's just a matter of whether Master's wife and Rin agree."

Although she knew that no matter who Tokiomi Tohsaka handed the mother and daughter over to, they would eventually fall into her hands.

But being able to obtain them legitimately can also avoid some trouble.

"If it's really dangerous, I'll go to safety with Rin so that the Holy Grail War can proceed smoothly."

Aoi Tohsaka said that, but she had actually already decided to leave temporarily.

After all, last night's attack was terrifying; if Gilgamesh hadn't been there, they probably would have perished.

This is only the beginning of the Holy Grail War; as time goes on, the danger will gradually increase.

With Gilgamesh around now, we may not be able to get his protection anymore.

To ensure his own and Rin's safety so that Tokiomi Tohsaka could feel at ease, and also to allow the Holy Grail War to continue and for Tokiomi Tohsaka's wish to be fulfilled.

She is willing to leave for a while.

This isn't a matter of life and death; they'll be able to return once the Holy Grail War ends.

"Rin, what about you?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka appeared calm and composed, seemingly unconcerned about their safety.

Young Rin didn't understand why her father was behaving this way, but after a year of being influenced by Skadi, she had come to understand him to some extent.

They definitely have their own ideas.

In her heart, her mother was the most important, her father was the one she respected the most, but Skadi was the person she liked the most.

Now, her father has arranged for her and her mother to live with Skadi for a while, to avoid the dangerous Holy Grail War.

Even though she was worried that her father would be in danger, she knew she had to do it.

"I will follow my father and mother's arrangements."

Rin Tohsaka nestled in Skadi's arms, inhaling her sister's scent, and her emotions gradually calmed down.

After hearing their conversation, Rin Tohsaka peeked out and responded softly.

"Then it's decided. Rin, you and Aoi will go with Skadi to take refuge."

"I must win this Holy Grail War."

Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't want to be distracted, so after seeing that they agreed, he let them leave with Skadi.

"Okay, then get ready, I'll take you there in a bit."

If there's anything I want to say to Tokiomi Tohsaka and Gilgamesh, I'll have to wait until they arrive at my secret villa.

Otherwise, all my preparations this year would have been for nothing. If I couldn't get the three of them, that would be really annoying.

After deciding that she would be living at Skadi's house, Aoi Tohsaka pulled Rin Tohsaka out of Skadi's arms and went upstairs to start packing.

They knew that everything was probably prepared for Skadi, but they still needed to bring some personal items and souvenirs.

While the mother and daughter were packing their things, Tokiomi Tohsaka looked at Skadi and after a while spoke.

“Skadi, you are my student.”

"You know very well how important this Holy Grail War is."

"So protecting Aoi and Rin is a very important thing, and I hope you can understand that."

"Once I win this Holy Grail War, I will be able to access the Root."

Tokiomi Tohsaka picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and spoke leisurely.

"I know this is very important to the teacher, so I will take good care of the safety of the teacher's wife and Rin."

“If there’s anything I can’t handle, I’ll go directly to the church and ask them for help.”

"I also hope that the teacher can win this Holy Grail War and come into contact with the Root."

"For every magician, getting in touch with the roots is something we all dream of."

"If I could see my master complete this task, I would remember this moment for the rest of my life."

"But this Holy Grail War is also very dangerous, and I am worried that unexpected enemies may appear."

"So if the teacher encounters any danger, please let me know and I will arrive as soon as possible."

Skadi lowered her head slightly and spoke these words in a serious and respectful voice.

"Haha, getting to the root of things is indeed a lifelong dream for a magician."

"If I succeed, I will not hesitate to teach you."

“Skadi, you are very talented. Compared to someone as mediocre as me, you can be called a genius.”

"I have very high expectations for you. If I cannot win the Holy Grail War this time, then I hope that you can do this one thing."

As Tokiomi Tohsaka was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject, as if entrusting his own dream to Skadi.
