Mr. Gong is not only good at cooking

The Matou family? Didn't they start to decline a long time ago? I heard that the only son in this generation of the Matou family doesn't have magic circuits, so the Matou family can be said to be completely finished.

Even if the other party wants to investigate Dongmu's forces, they will definitely investigate themselves first!

Tokiomi Tohsaka's gaze towards Shirou Emiya changed, transforming into the sharp, piercing look a magician gives to an enemy.

"I never imagined that such a shop would harbor a Master. Are you here to investigate me?"

Investigate you? Do you deserve it?

Shirou Emiya was internally screaming, but he still had to put on a wise smile.

"No, you misunderstand. I am not a Master. I am just an ordinary chef."

“An ordinary chef wouldn’t know such secrets as the Holy Grail War,” Tokiomi Tohsaka said with a forced smile.

You call the Holy Grail War a secret?

Do you Masters have some misunderstanding about the word "secret"?

Does that mean everything can explode with gas?

“Head of the Tohsaka family, you have indeed misunderstood. I know many things, but I am not interested in the Holy Grail. To me, the Holy Grail is probably not as useful as a wine glass.”

"Hmph, since you know about the Holy Grail, you must also know its meaning and uses. Knowing this, why bother to hide it?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka put down his knife and fork, wanting to see what else the shopkeeper could say.

"Head of the Tohsaka family, do you know the truth about the Holy Grail?"

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's words, Tokiomi Tohsaka chuckled. As a descendant of the original three families, could anyone know more about the Holy Grail than Tokiomi Tohsaka?

"I am willing to listen to the store manager explain to me, the head of the Tohsaka family," Tohsaka Tokiomi emphasized the word "Tohsaka."

Emiya Shirou didn't care at all. He sat down across the table and asked, "During the Third Holy Grail War, does the Tohsaka family head remember what class of Servant the Einzbern family summoned at that time?"

That's it? This is such a primary school question?

Tokiomi Tohsaka immediately replied, "It's Avenger."

“That’s right, it’s the Avenger, an extra special class that doesn’t belong to the seven major classes. He was very weak and was killed on the fourth day of the Holy Grail War, and then absorbed into the Greater Grail,” Shirou Emiya laughed.

"Then things started to get interesting."

Tokiomi Tohsaka squinted and asked, "Oh? I'd like to hear more."

Emiya Shirou wasn't in a hurry. He pointed to the steak and red wine in front of Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Don't worry, I didn't put anything in the food. Eat it while it's hot."

Tokiomi Tohsaka smelled the aroma of the steak, his throat bobbing slightly, but he still didn't dare to take a bite. You say there was no drugging? A magician's words are deceitful.

"Alright, I have no problem with you eating it cold if you want. Let's continue our previous topic. After Avenger was absorbed into the Greater Grail, due to its special nature, the Greater Grail, which originally possessed colorless magic, was corrupted into black mud. Head of the Tohsaka family, do you know what this means?"

"What?! The Holy Grail has been corrupted?! That's impossible! You're lying to me!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka wavered slightly. The Holy Grail had been corrupted. That was the long-cherished wish of the Tohsaka family. Wouldn't my dream of reaching the Root be shattered?

"It's a pity, but it's true, Head of the Tohsaka family. You may not know, but my restaurant has a special feature."

Emiya Shirou had a serious expression, and his whole being seemed to radiate the light of righteousness.

If his hair became spiky, dyed white, and left a little longer, his skin became darker, and he wore a red priest's robe with a pair of cross-shaped pendants on his ears, he could completely transform into Ma Po's sworn brother.

What's so special about this restaurant?

"I believe the head of the Tohsaka family must know about Gemstone Onghishua Zelrich Schbein Aug, right? No, you must know, because he has a deep connection with your Tohsaka family, after all, he was Tohsaka Eito's teacher."

Tokiomi Tohsaka was not surprised. At this moment, he still considered Shirou Emiya to be an enemy Master. His basic information was still very easy to gather, and it was not difficult for him to know that the Grand Marshal of the Demonic Path was the master of his ancestor.

"Yes, and then?"

"As a mage, the Jewel Elder wields the power of time, which is the second magic. He can use this magic to travel between multiple parallel worlds. My restaurant is essentially a construct of the second magic, or rather, something beyond that."

Tokiomi Tohsaka was a little flustered, but he still needed to maintain his composure and not falter at this crucial moment.

"Sir, are you perhaps joking?"

Emiya Shirou shook his head, decisively shattering Tohsaka Tokiomi's elegance: "My restaurant can connect various timelines and universes. I have hosted Masters who participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, as well as Heroic Spirits who participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War."

"May I ask who the winner of the Fourth Holy Grail War was?" Tokiomi Tohsaka finally revealed a hint of unease.

"Strictly speaking, the Master I received was from another timeline. They gave up the Holy Grail War for their families. However, according to the Servant who participated in the Fifth Holy Grail War, the essence of the Holy Grail changed. At the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, after learning the truth, the victorious Master ordered his Servant to destroy the Holy Grail with a Noble Phantasm. However, the black mud of the Holy Grail, which had been corrupted by the evil of this world, emerged from the hole and almost destroyed Eastwood."

Emiya Shirou paused for a moment before continuing, "Head of the Tohsaka family, as for the winner of the Holy Grail War, unfortunately, it is not you, because you died in the later stages of the Fourth Holy Grail War."

"I am dead?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka touched his gloved right hand, where he had a stigmata.

How could I die? What will happen to Aoi? What will happen to my two daughters?

Is this really true?

Wind chimes tinkled at the restaurant entrance.

"Shirou, we're back again! Hurry up and cook us something delicious! Your cooking seems to enhance our magical abilities!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka looked in the direction of the sound, and all his elegance vanished.

"This, this, this, this!"

Screw elegance!

Chapter Thirty-Six: Damn it! This kid's trying to steal my precious cabbage!

Shirou Emiya had forgotten what exactly happened at school that morning.

His memory was erased by his classmates and female students using magical (physical) means.

"Sakura, do you think Shirou will remember?"

After school, the two sisters huddled together, and Rin Tohsaka asked with some concern.

"Please rest assured, elder sister, the senior will never remember this in his lifetime. My strength and angle were perfect, and your Bajiquan was also very exquisite."

As Sakura Edelfelt spoke, she gestured a few times, making Shinji Matou, who was standing not far from them, feel a chill down his spine. He had heard that Emiya had been punished this morning.

My goodness, this is terrifying! The two goddesses from Homurahara Academy are so scary!

Shinji Matou abandoned his plans to confess to Rin Tohsaka for the fiftieth time and to Sakura Edelfelt for the sixth time, and quietly slipped away.

At the same time, he felt incredibly irritated. This guy, Emiya, isn't as good at studying as me, he's not as handsome as me, and he doesn't have as much money as me. Why is he able to chat and laugh with these two?!

Shinji Matou glanced at the scar-like mark on his left hand and revealed an evil smile.

Once I obtain the Holy Grail, I will definitely be able to make these two women mine! As for Emiya, hehe, hehehehehehe, hahahahahahaha!

The thought of Rin Tohsaka's legs and Sakura's breasts gradually contorted Shinji Matou's expression into a ferocious grin. "I could play with them for a year!"

Rin and Sakura, hearing the laughter that made them feel physically and mentally uncomfortable, quickened their pace and left the school in disgust.

"That Matou guy is disgusting," Rin Tohsaka said, making no attempt to hide her dislike for Shinji Matou.

Sakura nodded in complete agreement. "On my first day at school, he came to my class to confess his feelings to me. I really wanted to use wrestling to make his face hit the ground!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore, otherwise we won't be in a good mood all day. How about we go to Shirou's restaurant?"

"Yes, yes, we need to go see what's going on between the senior and that waiter. Oh, no, we need to go to the senior to replenish our magic!"

Having reached an agreement, the two sisters happily teleported to Shirou Emiya's restaurant. As for the other golden drill...

Who cares?

Inside Luvia's newly purchased villa, the noble heiress of a Finnish magic empire is urging August to hurry up.

"August, why hasn't my admission permit been processed yet?"

"Miss, it's being processed, it's really being processed. You can start attending Homura Academy by tomorrow at the latest."

"Hmph, I want to be in the same class as Emiya, uh, I mean, I want to be in the same class as Rin Tohsaka!"

"Alright, you'll be in the same class as Miss Tohsaka tomorrow. Also, Miss, the head of the Tohsaka family, Tokiomi Tohsaka, said he'd like to invite you and Miss Tohsaka to the Tohsaka residence this weekend for a reunion."

"Tsk, Tohsaka family, I understand. You replied that I would bring my younger sister with me."

Luvia loses all interest when the Tohsaka family is mentioned, not only because of her irreconcilable conflict with Rin Tohsaka, but also because the Edelfelt family sent two Masters to Eastwood to participate in the Holy Grail War during the Third Holy Grail War.

But the twin sister never came back.

Although there are rumors that the younger sister married into the Tohsaka family, rumors are just rumors. Anyway, the Edelfelt family has remembered this grudge. Whether the younger sister died or not is not important. As long as she doesn't come back, they will blame the Tohsaka family for what happened back then!

Inside the restaurant.

For a moment, the atmosphere was unusually quiet.

Tokiomi Tohsaka stared at Rin Tohsaka and Sakura in astonishment, speechless.

The two girls also looked at Tokiomi Tohsaka with strange expressions, unable to utter a word.

Finally, it was Shirou Emiya who broke the awkward silence. Completely oblivious to the events of the morning, he laughed heartily, "What are you doing here again? What do you want to eat?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka's mind raced.

Why do these two girls look so strikingly similar to my two daughters?

Could it be that they simply look alike?

“Um, you’re Father, right? You look so much younger,” Rin Tohsaka said first.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was shocked!

It really is my daughter! She's grown so much! Could it be that what the store manager said is true?!

Is this really a restaurant even more powerful than the Second Magician? Is the owner even more powerful than the Second Magician?

"Are you Rin?"

"Yes, I am Rin Tohsaka, my father from an unknown world in the past."

"You are... Sakura?"

"Yes, Father."

The two girls' answers brought Tokiomi Tohsaka a sense of relief.

My daughter has grown up! And she's so beautiful! Even if I were to die in the middle of my quest for the Holy Grail, I would have no regrets.

No! I can't die yet! I must obtain the Holy Grail! Even if the Holy Grail is truly corrupted!

Rin Tohsaka hesitated for a moment before asking, "Father, which era are you from?"

“I come from 1993.”

Upon hearing that Tokiomi Tohsaka came from before the Fourth Holy Grail War, Rin Tohsaka got really excited.

"Father, you mustn't send Sakura to the Edelweiss family! Look at what Sakura has grown up to! She hasn't learned any of the elegance of the Tohsaka family, all she knows how to do is wrestle! Is that something a lady should learn!"

Sakura retorted, "What are you saying, Big Sister? Freestyle wrestling is what a lady should learn, okay? But Big Sister, as the next head of the Tohsaka family, you've chosen to learn Bajiquan!"

"What's wrong with Bajiquan? This is the kind of self-defense technique that an elegant head of the family should learn!" Rin Tohsaka retorted, not to be outdone.

Tokiomi Tohsaka felt like his head was about to explode. Wasn't this both of them being incredibly inelegant?

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't argue! I have no plans to send Sakura to Finland right now. The head of the Matou family came to see me a few days ago."

Rin Tohsaka was even more displeased. "The Matou family? That won't do either! Father, the Matou family is finished, and I suspect that if we send Sakura there, Shinji Matou might plot something against her!"

Sakura smiled and said, "Hmm, I don't want to go to the Matou family either. How about you send me to the Emiya family instead?"

"Emiya?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka was somewhat confused. "Does our Fuyuki have a family of magicians?"

Rin Tohsaka sneered: "Want to go to the Emiya family? Dream on!"

Shirou Emiya interjected, "Which Emiya? Is it for the Illya family?"

Sakura smiled charmingly: "Of course it's Senpai's Emiya~"

Rin Tohsaka immediately interrupted, "No, no! Shirou doesn't have a Magic Crest; he's just an ordinary person. How can we give this to Shirou!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka astutely grasped the key words.

Emiya? Shirou? Shopkeeper?

Damn it! This kid's trying to steal my precious cabbage!

The second update is here, let's get started!
