Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

With his remaining sanity, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not use the Command Seal to order the killing of Matou Kariya.

At such a close distance, even if he killed Matou Kariya, he knew that he would not be able to escape.

Not to mention that Lancer might not be the opponent's opponent, even if he was, I would have been turned into ashes by the aftermath of the battle between the two, okay?

As for that compulsory self-contract certificate?

Are you kidding? I haven’t given up yet!

It's not like I want to go back on my word, I'm just extending the duel indefinitely. How can that be considered cheating?

It is because of this loophole that not many people care about or use this type of contract certificate, and it is completely meaningless!

"you!"

In Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes, which were almost squeezed into slits by his swollen eye sockets, Matou Kariya seemed to see the mockery of "You kid still have a lot to learn", and he was immediately furious.

Tokiomi! How could you become so despicable!

You are the opponent I recognize and must defeat!

But the next moment, the scarlet devil's spear broke through the air and stabbed towards Matou Kariya.

Lancer's highest agility was revealed at this moment. Even though Noah attacked at full speed, he was still able to block the gun when the tip was less than ten centimeters in front of Matou Kariya's eyes.

The flying sparks and strong light burned Matou Kariya so much that he subconsciously fell backwards, allowing Scathach to successfully pull out Tōsaka Tokiomi who was pinned under him.

Sorry, I'll fight you next time.

After giving such a look, Scathach picked up Tōsaka Tokiomi in her hands like she was leading a puppy, and ran out directly by breaking through the wall.

Well, she used Tōsaka Tokiomi to break the wall, so after Matou Kariya opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed when he saw the big hole in the wall.

Originally, no matter how high Scathach's agility was, she couldn't possibly outrun Noah, who had A+ level agility, while dragging Tōsaka Tokiomi.

After a large-scale spinning slash that cleared the surroundings and killed four or five Assassins, Noah prepared to grab Matou Kariya and chase after him.

But his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he stopped and glanced out of the corner of his eye, only then did he discover it.

I go!

Why even want to kill Tousaka Aoi? !

You only told me to kill one person, but you didn't say that I could only kill one person. Now it depends on how you are going to explain this to your master - this is how Assassin feels at the moment.

Then there is no more then.

To protect two people, even Noah would have no room to chase, so he could only stay and kill all the Assassins.

Sword energy crisscrossed, and light and shadow shuttled endlessly.

Aoi Tohsaka's eyes widened as she watched the young man in front of her wield his sword and kill all the enemies.

There was both the fear of swords and weapons approaching, and the wonder of the sword dance.

After the last Assassin was stabbed in the chest by Noah, the conference room was in a mess. Noah breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tohsaka Aoi with a headache.

What happened to Tohsaka Tokiomi?

You didn’t want your daughter before, and now you don’t even want your wife?

110 Kotomine Kirei: If you don't abandon me, I will become your adoptive father

After a night of bustle that engulfed the entire city of Fuyuki, the sky finally broke into the morning sun.

In a remote little house near a residential area in Miyama Town, Tōsaka Tokiomi woke up slowly, looked at the somewhat familiar ceiling, and couldn't help but twitched his eyelids.

Listening to the noisy conversation coming from outside the house, Tōsaka Tokiomi recalled that this was the Tōsaka family's most secret property in Fuyuki City.

In other words, a backup base would be more appropriate.

We deliberately did not choose a location far away from the city, but a remote residential area with little popularity.

On the surface, it is just a two-story, one-family house, but in fact it is built on a spiritual vein and stores a considerable number of magic costumes and gems. Even Tousaka Aoi doesn't know about it. It is a secret stronghold passed down only by successive heads of the Tousaka family.

Of course, he had taken out those ceremonial robes and gems before, and then they were all consumed in the battle with Kenneth.

Lost.

It took less than three minutes for him to go from the dream of possessing four powerful Heroic Spirits, sweeping the Holy Grail War, and realizing Tōsaka's long-cherished wish, to the cruel reality of abandoning his face and dignity as a magus, escaping by exploiting loopholes in the contract like a hyena, and leaving his wife to the enemy.

The only thing to be thankful for is that neither Matou Kariya nor the heroic spirit from another world seems like they would attack an innocent person like Tōsaka Aoi.

...That's all he can think of now.

"master?"

Looking sideways in the direction of the sound, Tōsaka Tokiomi saw his disciple, Kotomine Kirei, standing in the shadows, looking down at him.

Perhaps it was because he was standing in the shadows and couldn't see his expression, but Tōsaka Tokiomi suddenly felt that this disciple was a little strange.

But after smelling the rich aroma emanating from the bowl of medicinal porridge in his hand, Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled faintly.

Am I out of my mind?

Kirei is still the same Kirei. What changes can there be in just one day?

Even though Kotomine Kirei didn't show up last night, Tōsaka Tokiomi knew that he must be nearby, and he would never be able to escape if he was captured by a Servant.

You have to know that although the two are master and apprentice, Tōsaka Tokiomi pointed out to Kotomine Kirei on the first day he entered the world of magic, "Let alone master and apprentice, even if they are father and son, it is not surprising to turn swords against each other when interests are involved."

Therefore, if Kotomine Kirei had just watched him get eliminated last night, Tōsaka Tokiomi would not have any complaints.

But perhaps because he grew up in a good family, Tōsaka Tokiomi was cultivated with a good sense of superiority and self-confidence that has never been erased, which prevented him from completely transforming into a cold-blooded magician from the inside out.

It’s like a traveler who has been away from home for a long time; as long as his parents, with whom he has a good relationship, are still alive, he will not be able to fully grasp the fact that he is alone.

Therefore, in the final analysis, Tōsaka Tokiomi is still more willing to trust others.

So when his trust was rewarded, he was suddenly filled with emotion and guilt.

And although Kirei always has a blank expression on his face, he risked his life to come and save me last night. It turns out that he is actually a good boy with a gentle heart who loves his family.

Even if it's just to respond to Kirei's efforts, I have to cheer up!

I, Tōsaka Tokiomi, haven't lost yet!

Help me up! I can still fight!

"Kirei, thank you for your hard work last night."

Rubbing his face vigorously, Tōsaka Tokiomi sat up from the sofa, straightened his back, and regained some of his elegance and composure.

If you ignore his naked upper body and his mustache and hair that became messy during the battle.

Kotomine Kirei brought the porridge to the table, but still said nothing.

Even though his mind was unsettled, Tōsaka Tokiomi noticed that something seemed amiss with Kotomine Kirei.

But he didn't have time to think about it. He picked up the porridge in front of him and drank it silently in big gulps.

After being seriously injured and losing too much blood last night, and being beaten up repeatedly, Tōsaka Tokiomi now feels weak, painful, and cold all over, and he seems to have aged by ten years in an instant.

This bowl of porridge is not just an ordinary meat porridge, but a herbal porridge with nourishing and regulating functions.

The taste is of course hard to describe, but for Tōsaka Tokiomi at this moment, it is the ultimate delicacy.

As for inspection?

Are you kidding? Would my good disciple harm me?

Seeing Tōsaka Tokiomi enjoying the porridge he served with peace of mind, Kotomine Kirei's breathing couldn't help but speed up slightly.

Because he had already imagined Tōsaka Tokiomi drinking the poisoned porridge and dying with the man staring at him in disbelief.

Just by imagining it a little, Kotomine Kirei was extremely excited.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible now.

Kotomine Kirei knew clearly that the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows was still quietly waiting somewhere in this house.

He always felt that after he understood the true meaning of pleasure, the way the Lancer looked at him became a little strange, as if he had seen through him.

As long as Tōsaka Tokiomi gave the order, it would only take a few tenths of a second for the other party to stab him to death.

Kotomine Kirei was not afraid of death before, and he is even less afraid now.

But he had just experienced the joy of happiness, how could he be willing to die now?

It would be great if that Hero King was Tōsaka Tokiomi's Servant.

The expression on Tōsaka Tokiomi's face when he was betrayed by both his disciple and his servant must have been doubly delicious.

When he thought of this, Kotomine Kirei's eyes couldn't help but glow slightly with heat, and he looked at Tōsaka Tokiomi as if he were a pervert looking at a peerless beauty.

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was quietly feeling the warm effects of the medicine seeping into his body, suddenly felt a chill and subconsciously looked around.

“Kirei?”

Fortunately, I didn’t have much expression before.

With a restrained expression, Kotomine Kirei looked at Tōsaka Tokiomi, and seemed to hesitate for a moment before slowly exhaling.

"...Master, Assassin has left the stage."

Tōsaka Tokiomi had anticipated this situation and would not, like others, accuse Kotomine Kirei of not holding back.

Facing that extremely terrifying heroic spirit from another world, there was really no room for holding back.

"I know this. From now on, Kirei, you will go to the Holy Church and stay with Mr. Risei. I will continue my war!"

At this moment, Tōsaka Tokiomi has decided that even if he loses the support of the spiritual vein and the workshop, even if he doesn't even have the magic equipment and gems, he will continue to fight!

Until Kotomine Kirei's words shattered his dream.

"...Father, father has passed away too."

Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes suddenly widened even wider than when Tōsaka Aoi saw his and Matou Kariya's muscles entangled together.

"What?! What happened?"

Seeing that Tōsaka Tokiomi's attention had been diverted, Kotomine Kirei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father went abroad and just got off the plane when he saw you and Kayneth fighting. He rushed over, but was ambushed by Emiya Kiritsugu..."

Surprisingly, is it because of me?

Tōsaka Tokiomi never expected that this would be the result.

Although he and Kotomine Risei have an age gap and are not old friends who can talk about anything, they are still good friends who have interacted with each other for generations.

Not to mention that the other party violated the doctrine and secretly helped him in the Holy Grail War.

Upon learning that such a person died because of him, the heroic spirit in Tōsaka Tokiomi's heart instantly disappeared, leaving only pain like a knife.

He also understood why Kotomine Kirei had such a strange expression.

Tōsaka Tokiomi had heard that some people, when they were extremely sad, would become very calm, observing everything in the world in a state where they could not feel any pain or even be physically dissociated.

Only when memories are brought back will one burst into tears and sadness flow like a river.

Kirei is a very reserved child, so he must be even more so, right?

I actually still doubted him!

I am not a human being!

With his heart gnawed by a venomous guilt, Tōsaka Tokiomi stepped forward and hugged Kotomine Kirei.

"Kirei, I'm so sorry. If it weren't for me—"

As a very elegant head of the family, Tōsaka Tokiomi is undoubtedly a person who pays great attention to etiquette, and he rarely does such intimate actions even to his wife.

Now faced with this situation, I don’t know what to do.

After a long while, he suddenly got excited.

"If you don't mind, I will be your father from now on!"

Kotomine Kirei, who was suddenly hugged by Tōsaka Tokiomi, was originally at a loss as to what to do, and after hearing these affectionate words, he got goose bumps all over his body.

But when he suddenly realized something, his eyes lit up slightly.

Wow, killing his father and his teacher, two wishes, fulfilled at once!
