People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

The driver smoothed his gloves and asked again.

"No thanks. The New Year just passed. Since I'm visiting someone, it would be more sincere to knock on the door in person."

After rejecting the driver's proposal, Luo Wei handed the driver a large-denomination bill and did not take the change. After all, it was New Year's Day, and even if it was the first time they met, he could ask for good luck. The extra money could be regarded as a New Year's tip. Then he waved his hand, got out of the car and snapped his fingers at him.

Hey.

A crisp sound.

Then he ordered aloud: "Leave here, remember to delete the driving record, and forget about sending me here."

"OK……"

boom.

Soon, the car door closed.

After Luo Wei got out of the car, the driver, who looked a little dazed, nodded blankly, then stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the suburbs at a high speed.

……

About five minutes later, at the door of Tohsaka's house.

dong dong dong-

Luo Wei walked up the stone steps to the door, gently pulled the metal knocker on the gate of the Tohsaka family, and knocked hard on the steel door. The huge noise produced by the metal collision scared the sparrows resting on the branches around and flew away.

"..."

However, after knocking for a while, there was still no response. Feeling the cold touch between his palms and looking at the iron door in front of him that was a little hard due to the winter, Luo Wei couldn't help feeling speechless and helpless.

If you were visiting an ordinary family, even if you entered without permission, it would probably be considered impolite and you would be blamed by the host. At most, you would be beaten out as a thief. But if you were visiting the Tohsaka family, the situation would be completely different.

Unlike the common perception that home is simply a place to live, in the eyes of magicians, home actually has another deeper meaning.

Home is the base where one stores the results of one's research, a place to stay, and an inviolable sacred territory, that is, a magic base or magic workshop.

Therefore, as long as Luo Wei dared to break in by force or tried to sneak in, he would be noticed by the magicians inside and regarded as an enemy invading the workshop. In the eyes of the magicians, this was equivalent to declaring war.

So no matter how helpless he was, Luo Wei could only stand in the snow and knock on the door.

——Dong dong dong! !

After a few minutes, there was still no response, so Luo Wei pulled the door knocker again and continued to knock on the door obediently.

"Excuse me, is Master Tohsaka home? The Clock Tower Magician, Master Crowley, Rowe Crowley, is here to visit Master Tohsaka."

While knocking on the door, he raised his voice a little, hoping that the person inside could hear him.

At the same time, Luo Wei took a look and felt more and more the weirdness and troubles of these classical magicians.

Just like some of the veteran magicians in the Clock Tower, Tōsaka Tokiomi was a typical retro magician who had absolutely no experience of the convenience brought by technological advancement.

He is obviously a well-known person in Fuyuki City and has enough money to live in such a big house, but he doesn't even have a doorbell. It's a different era now, and he still has to use the old Edo-era method of knocking on the door. I really don't know what they are thinking.

As for the contact information, it is even more outrageous. Who would dare to believe that the mighty Tohsaka family doesn't even have a phone number? Even if you want to send a visiting card in advance, you have to write a letter and then have a familiar deliver it. Not only is it troublesome, but it is also very laborious.

Did Tohsaka Tokiomi think this retro style was really stylish? Or did the Tohsaka family fall behind during the Industrial Revolution?

Since you are looking for excitement, why not follow through?

How about ditching the incandescent light bulbs and the flush toilet altogether? A complete return to the medieval aristocratic lifestyle would be much more stylish. Let's see how long you can hold out.

Of course, Luo Wei could only complain silently in his heart about such words. After all, he was on someone else's territory. Even a strong dragon would not suppress a local snake. Even as a magic noble who came from the Clock Tower, he had to keep a low profile here. Moreover, he came here to kidnap the other party's daughter, so his attitude had to be good and the etiquette had to be in place.

Suppressing his unhappy mood, Luo Wei stood outside the door for about seven minutes before finally waiting for it to open.

Crunch! !

Hearing the sound of a metal structure being opened from the inside, Luo Wei, who was standing in the snow, quickly regained his consciousness.

"Welcome, Master Crowley."

As the door slowly opened, a gentle and easy-going strong male voice sounded in my ears.

Then Luo Wei also cast his gaze over.

After the gate opened, a middle-aged man with an elegant face, a red goatee, and a well-fitting red suit walked out holding a cane and greeted Luo Wei, who had been standing in the snow for a while.

Following him silently was a green figure. It was a beautiful woman with long, smooth black hair, well-proportioned features, and a voluptuous figure. She exuded the aura of a Yamato Nadeshiko.

At this moment, during the New Year, she, as the hostess of the Tohsaka family, went out with her husband to receive the guest from afar.

As for why he came out so slowly, it was because Tōsaka Tokiomi wasted some time choosing a suit in order not to lose the style of the Tōsaka family in front of outsiders.

Although Toosaka Aoi felt that making guests wait in the snow was more rude than wearing a suit, she could not stop her husband's behavior and could only follow him out to greet the guests silently.

The red suit, the goatee, and the posture that pretends to be elegant all the time, it is indeed Tōsaka Tokiomi. The famous Pot of This World in the Type-Moon world is still very recognizable.

As for the other beautiful lady, she must be his wife, Aoi Tousaka.

When the middle-aged man with a familiar face and good manners appeared in front of him, Luo Wei only glanced at the two of them briefly, then quickly retracted his gaze, and then politely nodded towards them and gave them a greeting.

"Happy New Year, Master Tohsaka, and Mrs. Tohsaka."

"Happy New Year, and be well, Mr. Crawley."

Tousaka Tokiomi, who had just emerged from the courtyard, smiled and nodded, before returning the greeting appropriately.

When facing a Clock Tower noble with a long tradition like Lowei, one must be polite. As the host, the Tohsaka family must not lose their manners and make a fool of themselves by the magic family from the Clock Tower.

So, after exchanging a few pleasantries with Luo Wei with an elegant smile, Tōsaka Tokiomi extended his arm to lead the way for the young man whom he had met in London a year ago. From the beginning till now, his courtesy was impeccable.

"Please come in."

"Okay." Luo Wei nodded slightly.

Led by the host, Luo Wei strolled in this large courtyard, and then the scenery of the Tosaka family courtyard came into view step by step.

Just like those magical families who like to decorate their facades to show the prosperity of their family, the courtyard of the Tohsaka family is also luxuriously decorated.

There are gravel roads, gardens, bushes, and a lighthouse inlaid with rubies. All the appropriate decorations are also available, fully demonstrating his generosity as a local emperor, as well as the financial resources and appearance that a magic family should have.

However, this kind of secular layout is indeed intimidating to ordinary people, but for Luo Wei, who is also a magician, it is actually just that.

Luxurious?

It is true that there is a little bit, but it is actually just the normal level of magic.

There was nothing particularly precious in it. Even the furnishings of his own family were not as good as his. If compared with those of the old nobles, the difference was not even a little bit.

After all, the mansion of his teacher's family is where the rich and inhumane wealth is fully displayed.

So compared to those landscapes that have no practical use except for their intimidating appearance, what Luo Wei really cares about are the barriers formed by the ruby lamps, the familiars scattered throughout the corners of the house, and the many magic circles hidden in the corners. The superposition of these layers of defense can be said to have made the courtyard of the Tosaka family airtight.

It seemed that Tōsaka Tokiomi really valued his own stronghold. At least in Luo Wei's eyes, this level of layout could be considered a well-defended magic formation. Fortunately, he hadn't acted rashly just now, otherwise, these magic formations would have been quite troublesome to deal with.

Luo Wei only glanced at it a few times, without studying it in detail, nor exploring it privately. Instead, he quietly followed behind Tōsaka Tokiomi and negotiated with him. Following his steps, he took a hidden side path around the courtyard layout and went straight to the main door of their house.

Tohsaka Tokiomi was also very satisfied with this, and his favorability towards Luo Wei quietly increased a little.

As expected of a noble from London, although his family had encountered some misfortunes, the nobility inherited in his bloodline remained intact. He was very well-mannered and well-educated, which made him very happy.

After arriving at the door, Tōsaka Tokiomi gently pushed open the entrance door of his mansion.

"Come in, Mr. Crawley."

"it is good……"

Before Luo Wei could respond, the moment Tōsaka Tokiomi personally pushed open the entrance door, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps running down the wooden stairs.

"father!"

Then, a female voice that was full of energy but sounded a little childish was heard in his ears, which made Tohsaka Tokitoki's face suddenly stiffen and become a little ugly for a moment.

Luo Wei's mind moved when he heard the childish voice, and he turned his head to look. What caught his eye was a little girl running towards them. She was wearing a red butterfly hairpin, black twin ponytails, and had a childish and cute face.

In Luo Wei's eyes, she was like a lively elf in winter, skipping to Tōsaka Tokiomi and grabbing his sleeve affectionately.

It wasn't until Luo Wei beside her spoke that she realized there was a guest at home today. She then cast a curious look at Luo Wei and asked, "Who are you?"

"Rin, what's wrong with being so impulsive? And you're not allowed to be so rude to guests. Have you forgotten the etiquette of the Tohsaka family?"

Witnessing his daughter's poor performance, Tōsaka Tokiomi's expression darkened visibly.

"Yes, sorry!"

Hearing Tōsaka Tokiomi's somewhat unhappy scolding, Tōsaka Rin, who was originally in a cheerful mood, couldn't help but shrink her body, and the smile on her face withered like a withered flower.

After all, Toosaka Rin is only a six or seven-year-old child. It is natural for her to feel scared when she is suddenly scolded by her father.

"..."

Seeing this, Aoi Tousaka, who was behind the two of them, opened her mouth to say something, but realized that there were important guests present today, so she did not speak, for fear of upsetting her husband.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little naive and have embarrassed Mr. Crowley."

"It's okay, Master Tohsaka. It's a good thing for the children to happily welcome their father back home during the New Year. It's me who disturbed them."

Seeing this scene, Luo Wei took the initiative to speak up to smooth things over for Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Then he leaned over, looked at the depressed little girl in front of him, and spoke with a smile.

"Hello, little sister Tousaka Rin, don't be afraid."

"My name is Rowe Crowley. If that's a bit awkward, just call me Rowe. It's our first meeting, so please be kind."

"…Rovi Crowley, a foreigner?"

Toosaka Rin stood there and silently muttered this somewhat strange name.

"Rin, introduce yourself to the guests." Tōsaka Tokiomi said.

She didn't hesitate for too long. Under the urging of Tohsaka Tokiomi beside her, she pulled herself together and introduced herself to Luo Wei according to the etiquette taught by her father.

"Um, nice to meet you. My name is Tousaka Rin. Please be kind to me."

"Well, Rin is such a polite and good kid."

Luo Wei reached out and gently patted her little head to express his comfort. Seeing this, Tohsaka Tokiomi's expression relaxed a little.

Just as Toosaka Rin finished speaking, another little girl in a purple dress walked out of the living room, led by Toosaka Aoi.

She also has black hair and a cute round face, but this little girl doesn't look as lively as Toosaka Rin. Her expression looks a little timid. Judging from her appearance and temperament, she is somewhat similar to her mother Toosaka Aoi beside her.

After hearing Tōsaka Tokiomi's call, she followed her mother out of the living room, and then walked up to Luo Wei and introduced herself as she had just been instructed.

"Happy New Year, big brother. Hello, my name is Sakura Tousaka. It's our first meeting, so please give me your guidance."

Seeing his second daughter completing the etiquette of the Tohsaka family properly, Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was standing aside, showed a gratified smile on his face. He also did not forget to educate his somewhat reckless eldest daughter.

"Rin, you still need to learn more about the etiquette of the Tohsaka family from Sakura. You shouldn't act rashly like you did just now. You must always be elegant."

"Oh, I understand, father." Toosaka Rin pouted unhappily.

At the same time, when Luo Wei saw Sakura Tohsaka's figure, the corners of his mouth slightly raised into an imperceptible smile.

Is he still there...?

'The time I calculated is indeed correct,' he thought to himself.

"Alright, alright, Master Tohsaka, don't scold the child during the New Year. Being as energetic as Rin is what a child of this age should be like."

Suppressing the smile on his face, Luo Wei finally took the initiative to speak and ended this boring topic about the elegance of the Tohsaka family.

Then, under Tōsaka Tokiomi's somewhat surprised gaze, he fumbled out two prepared gifts from his pocket and handed them to the two little girls in front of him.

"Here, Sakura and Rin, this is a meeting gift prepared for you, and it's also a New Year's gift."

They were two beautiful gems of different colors. The red gem was for Toosaka Rin, and the purple gem was for Toosaka Sakura.

"So beautiful!"

Seeing the ruby appear, Toosaka Rin subconsciously took it and made a happy sound.

Tousaka Sakura on the side turned her head to look at Tousaka Tokiomi beside her.

Although Tohsaka Tokiomi was somewhat surprised by Rowe's generosity, he did not hesitate for too long. He smiled slightly and nodded.

"Take it. This is a gift from Patriarch Crowley."
