The day's course is over.

Miss Rin, who did not join the club, did not go to the Matou family as usual to sit and drink tea and chat with her sister, Illya and her daughter.

Instead, he chose to go directly back to the Toosaka family.

It's not because she has changed her heart, nor is it because of conflicts between sisters.

For Miss Rin, there is nothing more embarrassing than having sisters turn against each other because of a man.

The reason why she didn't go to the Matou family was not to avoid her emotional problems.

As an older sister, Rin often thinks about her when she is playing games, competing, taking exams, and even now when she is thinking about the happiness of the second half of her life.

She always gives in to her sister.

This is the tenderness that belongs only to Rin, only to her sister.

but.

Sakura is not a person without conscience. Under the guidance of Kenshin Matou, she has a good relationship with her sister. She is sensitive and can see her sister's efforts.

The conscientious sister found her sister who wanted to sacrifice herself not long ago.

After a brief discussion, the cuties from the Matou family, without telling their own patriarch, successfully completed a constructive meeting with the assistance of Mrs. Irisviel.

"Holy Grail War: The Battle for Ownership of the Matou Swordsman!"

From the title, you can tell what this battle is for.

This strategy was not surprising. It was led by Sakura and was unanimously agreed upon by Miss Rin, Miss Altria, and Illya.

That's why Miss Lin is rushing home so anxiously.

because--

On the back of her left hand, the Master's mark appeared.

Those are three Command Spells.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

After returning to the Tousaka family, Miss Rin went straight to the basement.

Unlike the Tohsaka family when Tohsaka Tokitoki did not exist, every magic book is now neatly arranged in the basement.

She is not at all as casual as Miss Rin was when she was the head of the family.

"cold."

In the basement, Toosaka Tokito, who was sitting at the desk reading a book, heard the noise of his daughter coming down.

In the Toosaka family, this is the only possibility.

Magic is often associated with danger.

Mrs. Tousaka Aoi, who doesn't know magic, won't come to the basement.

"Father."

Miss Rin put on her slippers and walked into the basement. She was surprised to see her father sitting at the desk.

Because Kenshin Matou was afraid of Tousaka Tokishin and taught the strange values ​​of the Tousaka family magician to Miss Rin, he has always valued Tousaka Tokishin very much.

The richest man in Japan is Kenshin Matou, and the second richest man is Tousaka Tokitoki.

It can be said that over the past ten years, the head of the Toosaka family has been a powerful figure in Japan's business circle and has been unrivaled.

Because of this incident, there was quite a big misunderstanding.

I don't know which media revealed that when Toshisaka Tokishin was ranked second on the list of Japan's richest people, he had only two daughters and no male heirs.

Wow, as soon as this news came out.

The threshold of the Toosaka family was broken down.

But it's just a small matter after all. Only those who don't know the business will step into the door. Who among those who really know the business doesn't know that the background of the Tōsaka family is the Matou family?
Who doesn't know that the eldest daughter of the Tousaka family has a very good relationship with the head of the Matou family?
After all, he was just a marginal person who didn't enter the game and just jumped a few times outside the door.

"Are you surprised?"

Toosaka Tokitoki leisurely drank the black tea produced by the Matou family, looking up and down at his adult daughter.

He was satisfied and dissatisfied.

He was still wearing his school uniform, and the sweat on his forehead showed that he had not remained calm on the way home. His behavior also revealed the unbridled nature of the Matou family.

She didn't inherit the elegance of the Tousaka family at all.

These are the areas of dissatisfaction.

There is only one thing I am satisfied with, but that one thing overwhelms all the dissatisfactions above.

——My daughter’s outstanding magician skills and her ever-present happy smile.

"Are you planning on summoning a Servant today, Rin?"

Tousaka Tokitoki stood up and looked at the next head of the Tousaka family after he stepped down with a loving gaze.

"Yes, father. I plan to summon the Servant who is most compatible with me here at the peak of my magic power, which is 2 o'clock in the morning. I will summon a hero who will descend as a Saber."

That's right, even if Tousaka Tokitoki was still alive.

Miss Rin still has her obsession with Saber, the strongest agent in the Holy Grail War.

"cold."

In order to maintain his elegance, Toosaka Tokitoki tried hard to control the twitching of his mouth.

He said tactfully:

"Among the seven Servants in the Holy Grail War, Saber is the strongest Servant on the surface. She is strong in all aspects and has good anti-magic ability. There is no problem with these."

Tousaka Tokitoki first affirmed his daughter's persistence.

Then continued:

“But that’s under normal circumstances.”

"This Holy Grail War will definitely not be normal."

At this moment, Toosaka Tokitoki recalled a lot, most of which were about the last Holy Grail War.

During that Holy Grail War, the Heroic Spirit he summoned was definitely the best of all the Servants, the ace among aces.

Judging from his strength on paper, it is no exaggeration to say that he can kill his way through the Holy Grail War as a single Servant.

But the reality is that he was killed instantly by Kenshin Matou's servant at the first sight, except for the final execution by Saber.

The rest were not mixed.

"Father…"

Miss Lin was silent.

Of course she knew that this Holy Grail War would be unusual.

after all……

In the last Holy Grail War, King Arthur, the Servant of Einzbern who was born as Saber, is still staying in the Matou family.

Although she had been in contact with Altria since she was a child, after studying history and knowing the importance of King Arthur, Miss Rin still found it hard to believe.

The king in the book, the real King Arthur in history, has always been by his side.

She is a petite girl with blonde hair and blue eyes!

This is incredible.

"Can you tell me about the last Holy Grail War, Father?"

Miss Rin has asked this question many times, but Tousaka Tokitoki has never answered it.

But this time, after asking, she had a feeling that she would get the answer.

Toosaka Tokiomi glanced at her and waved for his daughter to sit down instead of standing.

After serving her a cup of tea, which Miss Rin took with both hands, he spoke with a look of nostalgia, "The last Holy Grail War~"

"That's a complicated matter..."

"..."

The events of the Fourth Holy Grail War are complicated, but for Tousaka Tokitoki it is not complicated.

Kenshin Matou prepared for this war for decades, and finally won the victory with a bulldozer approach, laying the foundation for his future happiness.

Toosaka Tokiomi is much simpler.

It should be said:
"Tosaka Toki is like this. After summoning Gilgamesh, all he has to do is wait for victory, but Matou Kenshin has a lot to consider."

In a nutshell, Tohsaka Tokiomi, who summoned Gilgamesh, has been drinking champagne at the Tohsaka family, watching Matou Kenshin clear the way for him. He only has one thing in mind, which is to use his own servants to defeat Matou Kenshin and win the war after Matou Kenshin has almost cleared the field.

It was Miss Rin's love for Kenshin Matou that made him face the reality in advance.

Even if Tousaka Tokitoki had a noble character and had no habit of lying, it was impossible for him to tell his daughter about such a thing.

However, he did not lie, but used the Spring and Autumn style of writing.

What is the Spring and Autumn style of writing?

The Spring and Autumn style of writing is also called subtle words with profound meaning. It refers to the selection of promotional materials with careful consideration of praise and criticism.

In short, it's just rhetoric.

After listening to her old father's explanation, Miss Rin frowned and recalled the old grandfather whom she had met several times when she was young.

That person turned out to be Emperor Gaozu of Han! ?

My father's powerful servant was killed in one move by the opponent! ?

When he was seven years old, the seven-year-old Jianchen Matou actually defeated his father and won the Holy Grail War! ?

Miss Rin is very smart.

When she was very young, she knew that her childhood sweetheart was special.

Whether it is the current wealth of the Matou family, the influence of the Matou family in Japanese politics, or his father's respectful attitude towards Matou Kenshin.

They all indicate that they hold multiple positions:
——The seventh generation resident of the Matou family, an outstanding young man in Fuyuki City, the principal of Hogunhara Academy, the president of the student council, and the city image guru...

It's not simple.

But she really didn't expect that the other party could win a Holy Grail War at that age.

Miss Rin is not the Miss Rin of the past.

Now, because of the Tōsaka family's long-cherished wish and her own sense of responsibility, she is very familiar with the Holy Grail War and knows how dangerous and cruel it is.

But the more she knew this, the more she couldn't believe what Kenshin Matou had achieved.

This is horrible.

Almost a natural born saint in ancient times.

"Then..." Miss Rin asked her father, "After he won the Holy Grail War, what wish did he make with the Holy Grail?"

Upon hearing his daughter's question, Toosaka Tokitoki was also stunned.

He felt that his daughter shouldn't ask this question after learning the full story of the last Holy Grail War.

But Toosaka Tokichi, who had guessed something, breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't know." He shook his head. "I don't know what wish the Sword Minister made for the Holy Grail, but I have some guesses."

Miss Rin looked at her father, waiting for him to continue.

"The Holy Grail, it..."

Tousaka Tokitoki didn't want to admit this conjecture, but he had to accept the reality. He said reluctantly: "The Holy Grail may not be omnipotent."

"what!"

Miss Lin was shocked, Miss Lin was silent, Miss Lin felt sorry for her father.

Miss Rin doesn't have much understanding of the Tohsaka family's long-cherished wish.

After all, she is not a "pure" member of the Tousaka family and has not accepted the values ​​and ideas of the Tousaka family. Instead, she has the three views of a normal person.

He has neither the obsession of an ordinary magician nor the obsession of a magician from the Tohsaka family.

"cold."

Tousaka Tokitoki said softly:

"Enjoy this Holy Grail War. After this war, you will inherit the position of head of the Tousaka family. It's time for you to take responsibility."

"Father……"

"I believe you, Rin."

Tosaka Tokitoki stood up, opened the treasure chest next to him, drank a cup of tea, and left the basement while saying to his daughter:
"Saber may not be the strongest Servant, but the probability of him being the strongest Servant is definitely the highest. However..."

"If you have a reason to win the Holy Grail War, then choose the relic in the treasure chest. That Servant will definitely bring you victory."

This is the confidence that Tousaka Tokitoki felt after knowing that Uncle Liu stayed in the real world.

"Father……"

Miss Rin watched her father leave the basement.

She turned her eyes to the treasure chest opened by her father.

——That is, a very well-preserved... snake skin?
"The oldest hero king, Gilgamesh? What a troublesome Servant! Is this my father's final test for me on my path to becoming the head of the family?"

Miss Rin held her arm with one hand and pinched her chin with the other, looking at the holy relic in the treasure chest.

"We must gain a reason to win the Holy Grail War..."

"I really have a reason to win, father."

Miss Rin remembered the agreement made not long ago, her sister's determined expression, and Illya's unwillingness to admit defeat.

She walked to the summoning circle that Tousaka Tokitoki had already carved.

He put the snake skin in his hand on it without hesitation.

"With this relic, you don't have to wait until the magic power is at its peak. The oldest hero king? You're just a defeated opponent of that guy. Let me see how worthy you are!"

"Its base is silver and iron."

"The foundation is the stone and the Duke of the Covenant."

"His ancestor was my teacher, Shubaiyin Ogu."

"The door is open and closed in all directions."

"From the crown, it goes back and forth on the fork in the road to the kingdom."

"Fill it up, fill it up, fill it up, fill it up, fill it up..."

“What goes around comes, then comes five.”

"However, when it is full, it is the time to discard it."

"SET, declare:"

"Your body is at my command, my life rests in your sword. If you follow the fate of the Holy Grail, follow this intention, those who understand this, then respond."

"I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds of time, and I am the one who kills all the evil deeds of time. You are the Seventh Heaven who is entangled with the three great words. You came here on the wheel of restraint, the guardian of the Libra!"

Magic power surged, and Miss Rin recited the short spell passionately.

After a puff of smoke, Gilgamesh, wearing golden armor, with yellow standing hair on his head, scarlet eyes, and a very sour face, appeared in the basement of the Tohsaka family.

"This is……"

The aloof king observed his surroundings, a smile showing as if he saw something interesting.

"Hahahahahaha~"

He leaned back, covered his face with one hand and laughed wildly for a while.

Gilgamesh said coldly:

"Tousaka Tokitoki, you are so brave."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the little girl who was looking at him, and asked knowingly:

"Are you the magician who summoned this king?"

"It's the Master!"

Miss Rin corrected Gilgamesh's words and raised her left hand with the Command Seal.

"Declare! Declare to the Command Seal that I will follow the rules of the Holy Grail and punish the people before me, my followers, and command them to obey me absolutely!"

If Toosaka Tokitoki was present at the scene, he would definitely be furious with his daughter, the next head of the Toosaka family.

I've warned her many times, but once she gets angry, Miss Lin always becomes irrational.

Like now.

Although the Command Seals can force Servants to act, and have a power similar to that of large-scale magic, vague commands will weaken the effectiveness of many Command Seals.

There is no doubt that the Holy Grail War has just begun.

The Master of the Tousaka Family wasted a Command Seal. (End of this chapter)
