People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

For this, he was even willing to give me a chance to choose.

Later, I understood my father's good intentions, and my fighting spirit was boosted. I rushed to the Clock Tower alone to study. I gritted my teeth and overcame countless difficulties and obstacles along the way.

Along the way, I have met many very different people and geniuses from all over the world, and witnessed the gap between myself and them. This has made me more aware that I am not a genius.

However, even with such a strong character, I have made impressive achievements after countless efforts and have gained some fame in the Clock Tower.

God seemed to be moved by my efforts and gave me two rare treasures in my life in my middle age, two descendants with extraordinary talents.

Toosaka Sakura and Toosaka Rin, they are my daughters. Unlike a mediocre person like me, they are magical treasures with unparalleled talents, and true miracles that are hard to find in the world.

If possible, I would even compare them with the legendary Grand Puppeteer Aozaki Touko and the new monarch of El-Melloi, and I believe that my descendants will be able to achieve their achievements one day in the future.

As a mediocre person, I will never be able to reach the realms that geniuses can reach in my lifetime. I also know that I can never open the door to truth by myself, let alone reach the root and obtain true wisdom and miracles.

But my daughters can... They can definitely reach the end of the magic path on my behalf and see the true mystery.

I, Tōsaka Tokiomi, always have faith.

However, this reflects an old proverb: fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.

God is kind, He has given me irreplaceable treasures; but God is also cruel, He has also deprived me of a happy family.

Because the Tohsaka family's heritage is shallow, I am unable to give them two seals and guide them on the correct path of magic.

In other words, because of my incompetence, only one of my daughters can inherit the magic seal, and the other can only stop here with her unparalleled physique, which makes me feel extremely painful.

Fortunately, at this time, the connections accumulated by the Tohsaka family and his own efforts in the Clock Tower brought a turning point.

The conditions proposed by the Matou and Crowley families are truly good news for me, because as long as they are like this, not only Rin, but also Sakura can embark on a happy and blissful path to the path of magic...

Finally, considering the fact that the Matou family is lonely, poor and weak, I still chose the Crowley family with greater power and resources, because they can better pave the way for Sakura.

Now that he had dealt with the inheritance issues of his daughters, Tōsaka Tokiomi felt particularly happy.

Seeing that both of his daughters had a future, he finally had no worries.

Tōsaka Tokiomi rubbed the three bright red Command Seals on the back of his hand, then stared blankly out the window.

"Holy Grail War... This is my last chance. Whether someone like me can reach the root depends on this..."

He murmured to himself, expressing infinite emotion at the same time.

As he had thought before, he had never been a genius. It was already God's mercy that he had come this far. It was impossible to go any further, let alone reach the root.

If possible, he also wanted to walk his own path alone like geniuses like Aozaki Touko, Kenneth, and Barthelmero, and continue to pursue the root with his own magic until he reaches it one day.

But it was too late.

In order to fulfill his family's long-cherished wish and achieve his own goal since his youth, Tōsaka Tokiomi has no choice. Even if he will end up staying there forever, he is willing to do so.

For him, walking on this path of pursuing truth, even if he died halfway, it would be a blessing, because one day his two daughters would reach the end for him.

"The descendants of the Tōsaka family...will finally find true happiness."

He firmly believes in it.

"..."

Behind him, a young priest in black monastic robes looked at Tōsaka Tokiomi who was muttering to himself in front of him with a complicated look in his eyes.

What a happy smile...

Even people like my mentor have found goals that make them happy, so what about me?

When will he get the answer to his happiness and meaning?

"Kirei...are you thinking about something?"

Kotomine Kirei lowered his head in thought when he suddenly heard Tōsaka Tokiomi's voice calling him.

"Nothing, I just got distracted, that's all. Master, do you have any instructions?"

He immediately withdrew his thoughts and answered with a serious attitude.

"I see... Rest well for now and don't overwork yourself. Regain your energy for the upcoming war."

Hearing this, Tōsaka Tokiomi nodded, showed some concern for his student, and then asked, "Also, how are the preparations going for the matter I asked Risho to do?"

"Master, please rest assured. Father is ready and has agreed to let me help you win this Holy Grail War."

"Is that so...Okay, that's great."

After receiving Kotomine Kirei's reply, Tōsaka Tokiomi's smile grew even brighter.

"Then, Kirei, let's proceed with the Holy Grail War as planned."

"The war will begin soon, and we should prepare a little."

"Yes."

Kotomine Kirei nodded expressionlessly, a complex look flickering in his eyes.

According to dogma, clergy must not be partial, corrupt, or cheat or show favoritism.

These principles were taught to him by his father, but now... could what his father and Tōsaka Tokiomi were truly upright? Was it really what a clergyman should do? And what was the point of him being an accomplice and colluding with them?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became...

Chapter 2: The Queen of Shadow Kingdom (2/)

[Once you take a step forward, there is no turning back. You will be heading towards the blood sea of the three thousand worlds——]

……

……

what……

In a dark world and on a battlefield full of constant conflict.

Death and killing have long become the main melody of this shadow land.

Kill, kill, kill, kill...

Death, death, death, death...

The years slip by unnoticed at my fingertips, and lives continue to disappear in my hands.

Even the two scarlet magic spears in his hands seemed to have become darker in color due to drinking blood.

Looking back suddenly, I realized that I had really deprived many lives.

No matter the opponent is a human, a monster, an undead, or even... a god.

What have I done in the eternal years?

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight... an endless battle. Kill all the enemies and let their blood stain this body that has long since become eternal.

Will not age.

Will not die.

At this moment, I am no longer a human being, but something between... God and man.

How to describe this complex word?

monster?

Haha, it’s a very appropriate adjective. I am indeed a monster, a monster wandering in the midst of killing.

How much time has passed since I was born?

How many years have passed since I took up arms and started fighting?

Why did you fight in the first place?

I can't remember, I can't remember at all.

When I looked back, I realized that the road I came from was already pitch black, and the endless abyss was still waiting for me ahead.

Regret?

do not know.

Sorry?

Maybe some.

In the endless wasting time, it seems that the meaning of existence has been lost.

Now I only desire death, to die as a human being, to meet my end in battle.

That's enough.

It doesn't matter who it is, as long as they can kill me.

But where is the person who can kill me openly at this moment?

I don't know how many years I have been wandering in the kingdom of shadows, and I don't know how many times I have sought death but failed. Even the disciples I carefully selected, those warriors who were placed with high hopes, ended up bringing me nothing but disappointment again and again.

Lonely, confused...

God, I will not make any demands on you, I will not ask you for mercy.

Because I know that God will not help those who pray, will not forgive, and will not extend assistance to those who pray.

Because that is not a prayer, it is just a petition to God.

In that case, then go to hell!

Then let’s fight! Let’s keep fighting!!

The battle itself is a prayer, and we must keep fighting until the last moment.

At the end, my wish can come true.

Over the long years, a hateful nightmare once came to my country in a special way and conveyed some very important things.

"Someone can bring an end to your suffering."

To end this long life and suffering, yes, that is what I am pursuing.

I followed the guy's guidance and looked in a farther direction.

At the end of loneliness, I saw a certain ending... and a certain figure at the center.

Is he the chance? Can he truly bring about a satisfying death? He'll end my life...

For this opportunity, I waited quietly with anticipation.

As the years passed, one day, a chance opportunity and a calling appeared in my mind.

That is--

Holy Grail War?

There was something so interesting and exciting going on, and that special soul contained a power that he could not understand.

Interesting, really interesting...

With some anticipation and excitement, I responded to his call by borrowing Cu Chulainn's fate.

"Your fate depends on my gun. In this war, I will do my best to help you get everything you want."

"As a price, I hope you can start a real fight with me when everything is ready, and put a perfect end to my long life."

——This is the final wish of me, Scathach, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows.
