In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"As fellow magicians who single-mindedly pursue the root and walk the path of truth, I believe the head of the Tohsaka family can understand, right? The true meaning of our existence as magicians, and the ultimate goal we seek—to reach the root!"

"Of course I know!"

Upon hearing those familiar words, Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded solemnly and replied with fervor.

"Reaching the source is the great goal that we magicians will strive for throughout our lives, the ideal we pursue throughout our lives, and it is undoubtedly also the lifelong ideal of the Tohsaka family."

"But everyone knows that on the path to the Root, one person's efforts alone are not enough. That's why we magicians pay attention to the inheritance of bloodlines and leave the magic imprint, which is the culmination of a lifetime's work, to the inheritors of our bloodline, so that our descendants can one day reach the Root for us."

Listening to Tokiomi Tohsaka's vivid and slightly sentimental narration, Luo Wei's joyful mood was almost harder to suppress than Ak's.

He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. For Tokiomi Tohsaka, who truly considered reaching the root of the problem as his ultimate goal in life, as long as the topic was brought up, he could fill in the rest with his rich imagination.

What he needs to do now is simply to continue to get closer to Tokiomi Tohsaka, gradually lower his guard through his stories, and make him see him as a fellow traveler—in other words, to first completely confuse him.

"You truly are someone who wholeheartedly walks the path of truth, Head of the Tohsaka family!!" Looking at Tohsaka Tokiomi, Luo Wei then feigned delight and spoke.

"Of course, reaching the source will always be my goal, and the goal of the Tohsaka family."

At this moment, thanks to Luo Wei's words, Tokiomi Tohsaka's doubts had been somewhat dispelled, but they had not completely disappeared. So he asked the person in front of him again, "I wonder what this has to do with my daughter?"

"It is related, and it is of great importance."

Luo Wei nodded, then said solemnly, "I had heard before that your two daughters possessed extraordinary talents, and after seeing them with my own eyes this time, I realized that the rumors were indeed true. Your two daughters both have physiques that are comparable to miracles, and they are the beloved darlings of the demonic path."

"Your eldest daughter possesses a miraculous attribute that combines the five elements into one, so her talent goes without saying. She is destined to be a rising star shining brightly throughout the entire magical world. Your youngest daughter is even more extraordinary, possessing a [Imaginary Number] physique that is even rarer than the five elements. It is no exaggeration to say that each of them is an immeasurable treasure of the magical world!!"

How do you know so much detail?!

Upon hearing Luo Wei's description, Tokiomi Tohsaka felt a shiver run down his spine, followed by an awkward feeling that he was being seen through by the person in front of him.

Every word Luo Wei just said was completely correct and consistent. Rin is a combination of the five elements, and Sakura is an imaginary number. He has been working diligently to keep this secret for so many years, and he even disguised it on his two daughters. However, he did not expect that even so, he still could not hide it from the eyes of the Clock Tower.

This made him somewhat uncomfortable, and he was also curious about the source of Luo Wei's intelligence.

After all, he had been taking care of his two daughters all along. In other words, someone had investigated the Tohsaka family's secrets right under his nose, but he, as their father, was completely unaware of it.

How terrifying is this?

How is this possible?

The more he pondered, the more perplexed he became. Tokiomi Tohsaka felt a chill run down his spine and resolved to conduct a thorough investigation of the Tohsaka family. He was determined to uncover the truth before he could feel at ease.

As a magician, he couldn't tolerate having a nail hidden right under his nose that he hadn't noticed.

To this, Luo Wei could only say that it was all in vain, since his source of information was Nasu Kinoko.

So you mean you want to...adopt?

Tokiomi Tohsaka's expression was somewhat strange. Now that things had come to this, as a smart man, he had roughly guessed the purpose of Luo Wei's visit, so he tentatively asked.

"Just as you have in mind, the purpose of my visit is to adopt one of your two daughters. In the future, one of them will succeed me as the inheritor of the Crowley family's magic crest, and she will continue my journey in pursuit of truth until she pushes open the door that contains that truth! I hope you will grant my request."

Luo Wei nodded sincerely and firmly.

After laying the groundwork for so long, he's finally going to lay his cards on the table.

Tell Tokiomi Tohsaka that his purpose in coming here is to target your daughter.

And it wasn't stealing or robbing; it was adopting your daughter openly and legitimately.

Your daughter, I will raise her!

I will personally pluck that most dazzling gem.

……

From a magician's perspective, Tokiomi Tohsaka's two daughters are undoubtedly treasures of the magic world, precious artifacts whose value rivals that of the legendary gem-level Mystic Eyes.

As the older sister, Rin Tohsaka possesses a rare composite attribute that combines all five elements, and her magic circuits and magical talents are both top-notch, making her future limitless.

Furthermore, Sakura Tohsaka, as the younger sister, is no less remarkable. She possesses an even rarer attribute than her older sister's composite attribute, namely [Imaginary Number]. If we consider only her mystery and rarity, it can be said that Sakura Tohsaka is more talented.

These two magical talents would be the most dazzling and eye-catching existence in any era or region, and it would be perfectly acceptable to regard them as miracles.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was well aware of this and was particularly pleased.

After witnessing his daughter's talent firsthand, he could now do dangerous things without any worries. Even if he were to unfortunately fall halfway through his pursuit of truth, his daughter, who inherited the blood of Tohsaka and whose talent far surpassed his own, would continue the exploration in his place.

However, behind the extreme joy of seeing his offspring so outstanding, Tokiomi Tohsaka's heart was also filled with indescribable sadness and distress.

If he only had one daughter, he would be overjoyed by her talent, whether it was Rin or Sakura, without any reservations.

However, he happened to have two daughters who were exceptionally talented.

The powerful magical constitution, with its inherent mystery and anomaly, will inevitably attract other anomalies. Even though the sisters are still young, their father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, can already clearly foresee that their future will definitely not be peaceful.

Under the constant influence of this extraordinary talent, even if he wanted to ensure that one of them could live a peaceful life, it would be nothing more than wishful thinking.

This is a problem that has been troubling Tokiomi Tohsaka since Rin and Sakura were born.

Knowing very well about Tokiomi Tohsaka's current situation and his troubles, Loewe approached him during this time and brought it up directly.

“Head of the Tohsaka family, as a magician who has walked the path of magic for many years, you must be well aware of the situation your two daughters are currently facing.” Lo Wei tapped the table lightly with his finger and then looked at Tohsaka Tokiomi.

"The fundamental principle of the mystical world is that mystery attracts mystery, and anomalies attract new anomalies. That's why magicians like us always encounter things that are unimaginable to ordinary people."

I believe your daughter would feel the same way.

"If it were just a slight demonic or mysterious element, we could easily suppress it using magical artifacts or seals, thus restoring it to calm. But your two daughters are far from capable of doing that."

"The composite physique of the five elements, and the imaginary number physique, are undoubtedly the most advanced mystical physiques in the world today. Even if you look at the whole world, you probably can't find many magicians who can compare with the two young ladies in terms of physique. So ordinary seals and magical costumes simply cannot permanently suppress them."

As he spoke, Luo Wei looked at Tokiomi Tohsaka's silent face and continued.

"Therefore, we can only allow the two young ladies to enter the realm of magic. However, the Tohsaka family only has one magic crest and one lineage, so we can only solve one problem. The other can only live as an ordinary person, but her constitution will continuously attract some incomprehensible anomalies, and she will eventually meet with misfortune."

"I'm sure you're quite troubled right now, aren't you? Compared to the Clock Tower, which is mainly theoretical, perhaps the Wandering Sea and the Atlas Institute have a solution to this problem. But that's not a good place for you. After all, when those crazy retro magicians and alchemists see two magical physiques that are almost miraculous, they will definitely try to forcibly take them for themselves and keep them to study them carefully."

Lowe did not mention the Clock Tower because he believed that Tokiomi Tohsaka, a frequent visitor to the Clock Tower who flew to London every few months to publish papers and attend lectures, knew very well what the place was like.

Given the inhumane methods of those old guys at the Clock Tower, upon seeing two such miraculous constitutions, they would definitely use the excuse of preserving mystery to seal the sisters in formalin to preserve them.

Another possibility is that these two pairs of sisters were used as excellent mothers, and once they grew up, they began to try to cultivate more excellent magical bloodlines.

Neither of these two situations was acceptable to Tokiomi Tohsaka, so he did not tell anyone in the Clock Tower about his daughter's condition.

Although he was not clear about the situation in the Wandering Sea and the Atlas Institute, the reputation of these two places was no better than that of the Clock Tower. They would most likely end up in the hands of the madmen as predicted by Lo Wei, becoming experimental material and being used to their fullest potential.

In the original timeline, it was precisely these reasons that led Tokiomi Tohsaka, who had nowhere left to retreat and no solution whatsoever, to place his hopes on the other magical families.

At this time, the Matou family, whose lineage was on the verge of extinction due to the incompetence of their offspring, was undoubtedly the best choice and a blessing in disguise for Matou Sakura's predicament.

In response, Luo Wei could only say that Tokiomi Tohsaka's thinking was very correct.

Given the complete lack of trust in the Magic Association, the idea of ​​adopting his daughter and handing her over to another magical family for upbringing, using her as a stepping stone into the realm of mystery, was not problematic.

However, Tokiomi Tohsaka made a mistake by choosing the wrong person and failing to see their true colors, thus hastily giving his daughter away for adoption.

He thought the good place he had found for his daughter would turn into a tragic hell that would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Although Tokiomi Tohsaka may have meant well but ended up doing more harm than good, he was still considered an incompetent father in Loei's eyes.

Indeed, the Tohsaka family only has one Magic Crest, and Sakura Tohsaka's constitution also destined her to be incompatible with ordinary people.

But did this guy really not consider training her from scratch? He could have passed the mark on to his eldest daughter, then guided and taught his younger daughter, developing her as the first generation of magicians and helping her to protect herself.

Didn't he think about it?

Haha, even an outsider like Luo Wei could come up with a solution, so of course his father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, must have thought of it as well.

However, he did not adopt the suggestion and was even more unwilling to accept it.

The reason is simple: this guy can never let go of Sakura Tohsaka's extraordinary talent.

How arduous and difficult was the training and advancement of the first generation of magicians? Even with Sakura Tohsaka's extraordinary talent, she might not have been able to make a name for herself.

After all, the most important thing for a magician is to accumulate and pass on knowledge, but the most difficult thing is to create something new. Just like breakthroughs in the scientific field, the difficulty of going from 1 to 2 and from 0 to 1 is worlds apart.

If Sakura Tohsaka were to develop as a first-generation magician, then no matter how exceptionally talented she is, she might waste her physical attributes and abilities, never being able to perform truly great magic in her lifetime, and making little progress on the path of truth.

Compared to his daughter's happiness, Tokiomi Tohsaka actually valued the talent inherited from his bloodline more.

While he did love his daughter, he valued the demonic path even more.

This is also one of the reasons why Lowe dislikes this guy. Although he looks more like a normal person than other magicians, he only looks somewhat like one.

A magician is a magician, a completely twisted existence. Judging from their personalities alone, people like myself and my junior are the real outcasts. Compared to these guys, even that somewhat sarcastic teacher seems to have a much higher moral character.

However, it was precisely because Lovi grasped Tokiomi Tohsaka's greater emphasis on the inheritance of demonic arts that he was able to make thorough preparations and personally come to discuss the adoption. If Tokiomi Tohsaka valued kinship more than demonic arts, then things would undoubtedly become more complicated.

Everything the other party did was clearly within his expectations.

"..."

Finally, a few minutes after Loe finished speaking his prepared words, Tokiomi Tohsaka, who had been on the verge of battle and ready to fight, lowered his head and pondered for a few minutes before slowly releasing his grip on the jeweled cane, followed by a genuine smile on his face.

Seeing this, Luo Wei exchanged a glance with him and also laughed.

He knew very well that the current situation meant that things were almost settled.

Finally, he decided to add fuel to the fire and make the final decision.

"Head of the Tohsaka family, I believe you are aware of the current situation of the Crowley family, right?" Rowe asked.

"Of course, after all, the Crowley family is one of the upper-class magical noble families that can be included in the Clock Tower."

Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded and then shared his knowledge of the Loewe family.

"A family with six generations of magicians, and highly accomplished in the field of alchemy. They are one of the few families outside the Atlas Institute with an independent lineage of alchemy. They even have a spiritual vein that belongs exclusively to their family in the south suburbs of London, and they also have their own research room in the Clock Tower. They are a true noble family of magic."

As a frequent visitor to the Clock Tower, Tokiomi Tohsaka was naturally very familiar with the distribution of noble powers there.

This naturally includes the Crowley family, which is quite well-known.

Even though the number of generations of the family lineage is not high—even by the time it reached Luo Wei, it had only been passed down for six generations, just one generation ahead of the Tohsaka family—the family's background and achievements in the field of alchemy are absolutely not to be underestimated.

Unlike those long-established magical families, this family rose to prominence during the Renaissance, which is why its lineage is somewhat weak. But Tokiomi Tohsaka knows that all of that is just an illusion.

This family arose in response to the times and seized the opportunities of that era. In that age of scientific and chemical enlightenment, they combined mysticism with chemistry. Surprisingly, they skipped several generations of accumulation and by the second generation, they had developed a prototype of their own alchemical system as their family magic.

What an incredible feat!

Subsequently, this family rapidly developed and achieved great success in the magical world by virtue of its alchemical magic heritage. So much so that even the Clock Tower nobles, who always valued long-standing traditions and were extremely exclusive, accepted the family's entry after they contributed their knowledge and heritage, becoming members of their Western European nobility.

Many of the alchemical materials currently used by the Clock Tower also come from this family, demonstrating its considerable influence.
