Skadi, returning to infinity

In that instant, he seemed to have aged ten years, losing all his energy and spirit.

"If you can't bear to part with them, then take them with you."

"It's so boring to be dawdling here."

Gilgamesh wouldn't have said that if Tokiomi Tohsaka hadn't been his Master and they hadn't gotten along quite well during this time.

This was an unprecedented consolation. If it were anyone else, he probably would have been drinking red wine and watching the show, finding pleasure in their suffering.

"I will."

Tohsaka Aoi actually wanted to say something else, but when the words reached her lips, they only came out as these.

"Eh."

With a sigh, Tokiomi Tohsaka left without calling Gilgamesh.

What was originally thought to be a comedy about a long-awaited reunion of husband and wife has now turned into a farce.

"dad......."

At this moment, Rin broke free from Aoi's embrace and ran to Tokiomi Tohsaka.

She looked up at her father and said something that made him both happy and sad.

"I don't know when I'll be able to see my dad again, but I'll definitely make my mom and sister happy."

"Dad lives alone, so he also needs to be careful."

"When I grow up, I will shoulder the responsibilities of the Tohsaka family, believe me."

Rin Tohsaka's young voice was filled with determination, even though this was not a question she should be thinking about at her age.

"I will."

In any case, Rin's words at least gave Tokiomi Tohsaka a lot of encouragement.

He bent down and stroked Rin's little head, his eyes full of tenderness.

He was happy that Yu Lin was so sensible, but saddened that he probably wouldn't be able to watch her grow up.

"teacher?"

The door opened, and Skadi stood there timidly, looking at Tokiomi Tohsaka, and asked a question.

"I'm leaving Aoi, Sakura, and Rin in your care."

"I owe them so much, and I hope you can make sure they have a good life from now on."

"Eh...."

This sounds like he's entrusting his wife and two daughters to Skadi for life.

But judging from the results, there doesn't seem to be any problem.

"Teacher, you can choose to live with them, it's okay."

Skadi smiled, but her thoughts were deeply hidden.

At least Tokiomi Tohsaka couldn't see through her, nor did he know what she really wanted.

She is very different from Skadi, who mentioned Aoi Tohsaka and the others to her before.

“I didn’t understand before, but now I do.”

Tokiomi Tohsaka stared intently at Skadi, and stopped there, not saying anything more.

It was as if any answer existed only in his heart.

"teacher......

Watching his departing figure, Skadi stood there muttering to herself.

"Woman, you're very interesting."

"Consider this Holy Grail War a victory for you."

"However, you must keep your promise to me."

"Ha ha......

Gilgamesh did not leave with them; he only turned to look at Skadi after Tokiomi Tohsaka's figure disappeared.

After saying this, he smiled, turned into light fragments, and left, leaving only Skadi and the others behind.

"Skadi, could you... come here for a second?"

Having seemingly calmed her two daughters down, Aoi Tohsaka stood at the doorway, looked at Skadi, and called out softly.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Skadi whispered a few words to Ari, then walked over and stood in front of Aoi Tohsaka.

"You promised me you'd make sure Rin and Sakura grow up healthy and strong, right?"

"If you promise me, I will stop resisting."

Aoi Tohsaka has stopped thinking about anything else. As long as her husband is safe, the only thing she can't let go of now is her two daughters.

Moreover, she had developed some feelings for Karen, since although the child had a father, it was essentially the same as lacking the affection of both parents.

She wanted to take good care of the girl and give her a complete family, just like her two daughters.

All of this requires Skadi's consent, since she is the one who holds all the power over it.

"Don't worry, I will give them the best education, and whatever they want, I will give it to them."

“This is not because of your request, but because I, as their older sister, have a responsibility to them.”

Skadi can still do this, even though the technological development of Terra is different from that of the Type-Moon world.

But it has everything it should, and in some aspects, its development is even better than Type-Moon's current technology.

Perhaps the future technology won't be as advanced as that of Type-Moon, but who cares?

"That's good...."

With all her hesitation and worry gone, Aoi Tohsaka closed her eyes.

"Go do what you want to do, I... I will take good care of them."

Aoi Tohsaka wanted to calm down and didn't want to see Skadi for the time being.

"Then Ali and I will go back to our rooms to sleep."

Skadi knew she should stay away and go back to live in another villa.

But she wouldn't do as Aoi Tohsaka wished. The best way now is to completely take over when she feels empty inside.

As for what to do after the occupation, we'll talk about that later.

Silently looking at her, Aoi Tohsaka didn't know what to say.

Yes, this is her home, I can't just keep her from coming back.

Okay, goodnight.

Upon entering the hall, the three girls had vanished.

It's obvious that Aoi Tohsaka arranged for her to rest in the bedroom on the second floor, and I guess she'll be going there tonight too.

Skadi stretched and took Ali's little hand as they went upstairs.

Ali was pulled along by her and fell behind.

She looked at Aoi Tohsaka with an apologetic expression.

"Everything will be alright..."

Looking up at the night sky, Aoi Tohsaka seems to be able to see shooting stars falling.

This is the kind of scene one would use to make a wish...

The night was peaceful; no one expected the Holy Grail War to end so abruptly and peacefully.

The next day, Skadi arrived at her final destination: the church.

"You've arrived."

The man with his back to the church door spoke softly after Skadi entered.

This isn't a question, it's just a reflection.

"It seems you're not very welcoming of me, Kirei Kotomine."

Skadi gently stroked the pews inside the church, then walked behind him and asked with a sigh.

"Oh? Do you think I have to welcome you?"

Kirei Kotomine turned to look at Skadi, finding her words both amusing and hilarious.

You should know why I'm here, right?

"Do you want me to do it myself, or is it your choice?"

Skadi didn't reveal her purpose, but the meaning behind her words was already quite clear.

"I can agree to your terms, but I want to know..."

"What is your purpose in doing these things?"

"Is it merely to summon the Holy Grail? I don't believe it."

Kirei Kotomine was still the same Kirei Kotomine. Skadi, upon hearing his words, not only showed no disgust but instead smiled.

"Xiao Ai, can I tell her about the existence of the Gods' Game?"

She didn't answer, but instead asked Xiao Ai first.

Yes, but after you tell him about the existence of the Gods' Game, he either becomes your follower or can only become your proxy; otherwise, his memories will be lost.

His memories were erased. If his memories weren't erased, he would be completely wiped out.

Ai's answer was unusually serious. She told Skadi that she could do it, but Kirei Kotomine would have to bear the consequences himself.

"Then, Gaia, Alaya, can I turn Kirei Kotomine into an agent?"

Skadi asked Gaia and Alaya, and they both had to agree.
