I'm really not a top magician

That is the Fuyuki Citizens' Hall.

This place, whose spiritual power was confirmed only after the Third Holy Grail War, is now not owned by any faction and has no magical defenses. It is an "undeveloped land". Compared with the other three spiritual places that are "easy to defend but difficult to attack",

From the perspective of magic warfare, the Civic Hall does not constitute any strategic location at all.

This kind of place with no advantages at all is obviously not a place that must be fought over by military strategists.

But if you really think so,

Then you really fell into Aigo Satiao's trap. Setting a trap in a place where no one is paying attention is what Aigo Satiao should do.

There,

This is the destination of Shatiao Aige.

Thinking of this,

Emiya Kiritsugu threw away what was in his mouth.

Arrange the origin bullet on your waist,

Set out on the journey again.

Chapter 276: Tousaka Tokiomi's Instructions

5 p.m., 31 hours until the final battle

The black eyes looking at him from chest height were like a pair of gems.

Yes, that's the truth.

Tōsaka Tokiomi once again felt that this girl was the most precious treasure that the Tōsaka family had obtained for five generations, a rare pyroxene that was equivalent to a miracle.

——Tohsaka Rin.

Although she is young, her appearance has already determined her to be a beauty in the future.

Compared to her mother's appearance, she is more like Tokiomi's mother when she was young.

It was late afternoon and night had not yet fallen.

Now, Tohsaka Tokiomi is one of the Masters seeking the Holy Grail. In order to realize the Tohsaka family's long-cherished wish, he has long since put his own life aside. However, in order to protect his wife and daughter, Tohsaka Tokiomi has entrusted them to Zen Castle.

Perhaps it was because he had witnessed too much death after the baptism of battle in the past few days.

Tōsaka Tokiomi now comes to his wife's hometown.

But he had no intention of entering.

At first, Tōsaka Tokiomi was not clear about his own thoughts, but now he finally understood that he just didn't want this pure territory to be invaded by blood.

He had made up his mind not to see his daughter until the end of the battle.

What made him waver was the death of Matou Zouken last night.

Zouken Matou is one of the founders of the Holy Grail War and is at least two or three hundred years old. It can be said that Zouken Matou himself is the history of the Fuyuki Holy Grail War.

And now,

This history died in the encirclement between himself and Sajo Aika,

This made Tōsaka Tokiomi realize for the first time the feeling of being on the verge of death.

Of course, Tohsaka Tokiomi is not the kind of person who gets overwhelmed when encountering difficulties.

But as a father in a family, this sudden feeling of impending death caused a knot in Tōsaka Tokiomi's mind.

He always felt that if he didn't come here to explain something today, he might not have another chance in the future.

I have already missed Sakura's affairs.

He no longer felt like he was letting down his other daughter, Xiao Lin.

but,

If today is the last conversation between him and Rin,

Facing the young daughter in front of me,

What should I say?

Thinking of this, Tohsaka Tokiomi looked down at Rin.

My daughter's eyes met mine, and she seemed to be waiting for me to speak.

Tōsaka Tokiomi understood that his daughter had immense respect and admiration for him as a father.

He also understood.

What he is going to say to his daughter at this moment will definitely determine Lin's future path.

Do not,

The future has already been decided.

Rin has no choice but to take over as the sixth head of the Tosaka family.

Perhaps it was this thought that made Tohsaka Tokiomi feel a little ashamed towards Rin.

Tohsaka Tokiomi squatted down and put his hand on Rin's head.

Lin suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.

Seeing his daughter's reaction, Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly remembered that he had never touched his daughter's head like this before.

In fact, it is normal for Rin to be surprised. After all, even Tōsaka Tokiomi himself has not figured out what he should say or explain at this moment, or even how to say goodbye to Rin before leaving. Tōsaka Tokiomi has not thought about anything at all.

"Father, do you have anything to say?" Toosaka Rin couldn't help but speak first.

"I've asked my friend to help with the rest of the matter. She'll help you when Rin turns 18."

"Friend? Is it Kirei?"

When talking about Kotomine Kirei, Toosaka Rin couldn't help but reveal an expression of disgust on her face.

Even Tōsaka Tokiomi couldn't understand why Rin hated Kirei so much.

"No," Tousaka Tokito shook his head, "It's a very powerful magician from the Clock Tower, Sajo Aika."

"Sajo...Aika? Is she the short sister?" asked Toosaka Rin.

"She's very short..." Tohsaka Tokito's forehead was covered in sweat, and it seemed that what his daughter said was correct.

According to the information, Sajo Aika is about 14 years old now, but she is only a head taller than her 8-year-old daughter Rin.

If you think about it carefully, Shatiao Aige is indeed not tall.

But such a short man has become the pinnacle of the young generation of magicians in Europe, and it is inevitable that he will become a leading figure in the magic world in the future.

"Yes, it's her. Rin, do you know her?" Tohsaka Tokitoki asked gently.

"Yeah. I ran into him once when I was out."

Toosaka Rin briefly told her father about her encounter with Sajo Aika, but she neglected to mention looking for Sakura. After all, her mother scolded her severely afterwards. Of course, she couldn't let her father know about this, otherwise she would be scolded again.

But now that I think about it, Toosaka Rin actually hates that sister Sajo. After all, that girl always takes advantage of her when she's not paying attention.

snort!

I hate her the most!

As for why he went back to save her?

Of course I didn't go back specifically to save her, but I did it because she treated me to ice cream. As the future heir of the Tohsaka family, I should have some magnanimity!

snort!

Although Rin's inner thoughts were very complicated when she mentioned Aika Sajou, she still kept a focused expression on her face. So of course, Toshitsugi was unaware of the wonderful encounter between Rin and Aika Sajou.

Even Toosaka Tokitoki felt relieved when he saw Rin asking so many questions when talking about Aika Sajou. It seemed that Rin and Aika Sajou got along quite well.

As for why Tosaka Tokitoki entrusted Rin to Sajo Aika,

On the one hand, I believe in Aika Sajo's character. I believe that since she can treat Sakura sincerely, she will also treat Rin well after the Holy Grail War.

On the other hand, Sajo Aika is also the last disciple of Jewel Ogi, so in terms of relationship, the Tōsaka family and Sajo Aika are actually brothers from the same school. Moreover, Sajo Aika is well-known in the Clock Tower.

Toosaka Tokitoki thought that if he was really gone, with Sajo Aika's protection, at least Rin and Sakura could grow up well.

"Sajo Aika is also the master's closed disciple. You should be polite when you see her in the future. And Rin, Sajo Aika will also help you before you come of age."

Tōsaka Tokitoki said earnestly, "The path you take after adulthood is up to you. If that's you, it's fine to be alone."

Thanks to Rin's question just now,

Tohsaka Tokitoki was a little hesitant at first, not knowing what to say, but after she opened her mouth, Tohsaka Tokitoki began to talk incessantly.

Tosaka Tokitoki had thought of many things that needed to be conveyed:

How to deal with the treasures in the house, things inherited from the master, the practices of the underground workshop, etc.

Tokiomi grasped the key points and addressed them one by one to Rin who was listening attentively.

Although it has not been engraved yet, in fact, Rin has been designated as the next generation patriarch of the Tohsaka family.

Say something off topic.

Tosaka Tokiomi is definitely not a genius.

Compared with previous Tosaka members, Tosaka Tokitoki's qualifications can only be considered mediocre.

The reason why Tousaka Tokitoki can now perform magic proficiently and is known as a magician respected by the Clock Tower is largely because he willfully abides by the family precepts.

That's why he is always calm and elegant.

To achieve a result of ten,

You must put in twenty percent of effort to practice.

Passing through all kinds of brutal training gracefully and calmly became Tokiomi's creed.

If we must point out what makes Tousaka Tokitoshi stronger than others,

Perhaps it only requires complete self-discipline and strong will.

At that time, his master, who was also the father of the previous clan leader, had already foreseen how difficult the future would be if such a mediocre Tohsaka Tokito really pursued the path of magic.

Therefore, when the previous clan leader handed over the Magic Seal to Tōsaka Tokitoki, he once again asked his son:

"Do you want to inherit the family business?"

This kind of question is very ritualistic, even very old-fashioned, and is just a polite remark.

After all, as the legitimate son, the education that Tousaka Tokitoki received since childhood was how to become the next head of the Tousaka family. It was precisely because of this kind of education that Tousaka Tokitoki had no other dreams in life from the beginning.

I am ashamed to say that.

Although from the perspective of ordinary people, this is just a decision made by parents on their children's future.

But for the Tohsaka family, whose ultimate goal is the path of magic, this is not a strange thing.

Even from the family's perspective, inheriting the family business is the right way.

However, even though this seemingly gave him a choice, the hypocritical way of asking the question actually left him with no room for resistance, and it allowed Tohsaka Tokitoki to temporarily have some incomplete choices.

Now I always think that the question I asked back then was the greatest gift my father, the patriarch of the previous generation, left me.

Because Tōsaka Tokiomi decided to embark on the path of magic through his own consciousness, he was determined not to be at the mercy of fate.

It was this awareness that gave Tokiomi an iron will.

It was this proud self-confidence that this was the lifestyle he had chosen that had sustained him through the harsh days of training since then.

"It would be great if I could give my daughter the same treasure I got from my father."

Toosaka Tokitoki thought sadly.

But this is no longer possible.

For Rin and Sakura, they had no choice from the beginning.

The two of them,

One is all elements, five composite attributes,

The other is an overhead element, an imaginary attribute.

Both sisters possess rare qualifications that are equivalent to miracles.
