Chapter 216 Win-win
Chapter 216 Win-win
To say that Tosaka Tokitoki is a good father is absolutely unfair to Matou Sakura.
But if you say he is a bad father, Toosaka Rin doesn't seem to agree.
Tohsaka Tokitoki is not a genius. In fact, among all the previous heads of the Tohsaka family, he is the one with lower talent.
The reason why he has come this far is because he has always adhered to the family motto of putting in 20 times the effort to gain 10.
"I've spent half my life in hardship, and I've quietly wiped away all the bitterness along the way, turning it all into self-esteem."
"He abandoned the evils of the magician and developed a personality of the most upright and balanced character.*"
This is how he has come all the way, so he firmly believes that his children can be as brave as he is.
For Tosaka Tokitoki, the most important gift he received in the past years was the right to choose given to him by his father.
Whether you want to become a magician is your choice.
Therefore, he had thought about leaving the power of choice to his daughter, but unfortunately, fate gave the father the opportunity to choose, but did not give his daughter the same opportunity.
The less talented Tousaka Tokitoki has two daughters, both of whom are rare geniuses.
Toosaka Rin is all elements, with five composite attributes, while Toosaka Sakura is a fictional element, with imaginary attributes.
The sisters' rare talents are almost miraculous, even beyond the scope of so-called natural talent.
But just like a sorcerer is born with the ability to see and attract cursed spirits.
For a magician, evil will attract evil.
The two daughters of Tosaka Tokitoki lost the power to choose. Apart from becoming magicians themselves and practicing, they had no other way to deal with the demon hidden in their blood.
The protection of the Tohsaka family can only be given to one person, because the family has only one ancestral magic seal, which can only be passed on to the next head of the Tohsaka family.
The one who does not become the heir will be involved in all kinds of strange events because of his own blood and will bring trouble upon himself.
What's even more terrifying is that there are no good people in the Director's Council of the Spell World, and they are happy to issue a hunting order against civilian sorcerers.
There aren't many good people in the magic association on the magician side. In fact, there are very few people in it.
If the Magic Association discovered an ordinary person with such rare qualifications, they would undoubtedly be happy to soak her in formalin as a specimen in the name of protection.
On the way to Matou's house, Tousaka Tokitoki almost numbly told the whole thing. The joy of the past and the anger of the present merged together, almost tearing his soul in two.
He was once so happy. To him, the fact that the Matou family wanted to adopt Sakura as their daughter was like a gift from God.
In this way, both daughters can inherit the first-class magic path, not be bound by blood ties and karma, and live their own lives.
He trusted the dignity of the Matou family as magicians, believed that they valued the family heritage as much as he did, and recognized the good reputation of the Matou family as a "neighbor" over the past two hundred years.
So, he sent his little daughter, Sakura Tohsaka, to the Matou family he trusted like sending a brave warrior, and was grateful to Matou Zouken for this.
Until now, until now...
How dare Zouken Matou, that madman, bug, disgusting scum, and despicable bastard, do such a thing!
How dare it!
Matou Kariya clenched his fists. He wanted to continue scolding Tōsaka Tokito, to continue angrily cursing at him, asking him why he didn't ask him before sending Sakura away?
Even if it's just to understand the situation of the Matou family...
If the Matou family was a good place, why would he run away when he was a teenager?
But he no longer had the strength to do so. Matou Kariya could even imagine what Tōsaka Tokitoki would answer. It was just the rules of a magician and the pride of the magic way.
This man is like this. He wants to be an excellent magician, but he cannot abandon his emotions and humanity and still loves his wife and daughter.
He wants to be a good husband and father, but the twisted inheritance of magic, his pride as a magician, and his sense of responsibility to his family oppress him.
Living a weird life, death should be a relief for him.
Matou Kariya couldn't help but look at the chest of Tohsaka Tokito next to him. Saber's sword stabbed him so cleanly and neatly just now, but it was a pity that this guy died and came back to life.
Edogawa Ranpo intervened between them at the right moment. "Ranpo-sama, I'm talking to you. Didn't you feel regretful and confused after killing him just now? Now that he's alive, you want to kill him again..."
"The relationship between you magicians is really twisted."
"However, you'd better not do that. I'll need the help of the Tohsaka family next. After all, you're just a half-baked magician who doesn't know much about the Holy Grail system. You can't help me with anything, so please don't make things worse, okay?"
Yes, Edogawa Ranpo actually had two goals in coming to Fuyuki this time. One was to obtain the Command Seals from Matou Kariya and get a ticket to participate in the Holy Grail War.
The second is to find Tokito Toki and analyze the current Holy Grail War system program.
While Dazai Osamu was thinking about how to win the Holy Grail War, Fyodor was thinking about how to realize his ambition, and Ayatsuji Yukito was thinking about how to make Ruri's wish come true.
Edogawa Ranpo was thinking, can I restore the Holy Grail?
According to the official data he had investigated, there had been several Holy Grail Wars in the past, but no one had ever truly won.
The Holy Grail never seems to have truly fulfilled anyone's wish, and no one knows whether it is actually useful.
At the same time, in this Holy Grail War, there are too many super-large and extraordinary existences, and the possibility of winning is not high.
If that's the case, then why do we have to spend all of the White King's power on the Holy Grail, instead of just stealing the power directly without taking the Holy Grail?
The so-called thinking is not to think about whether the question is correct or not, but to guess the intention of the person who set the question.
Since Zouken Matou was able to change the Holy Grail's source of power to the White King on his own, Tōsaka should also be able to try to peel out the source of power.
You don't need all of it, just make a small hole.
Edogawa Ranpo even had a more bizarre conjecture that most magicians wanted the Holy Grail not to fulfill their wishes, but to reach the root through the hole in the Holy Grail.
For magicians, "roots" are a pursuit of knowledge and a symbol of power.
As long as you understand and master the "roots", you will gain the ability to change the world and even create a new world.
Did you hear——
A symbol of power, the ability to change the world or even create the world.
These two descriptions immediately touched Edogawa Ranpo's heart.
If he exerts force internally, he may cause trouble and make Liuli unhappy; but if he exerts force externally, he will not have any psychological pressure.
If the root cause of this Holy Grail War is clear, we can exploit the bug and open a small hole in advance, allowing Liuli to go to the root to get the reward first. It won't be too late to fight the Holy Grail War after getting the reward.
It doesn’t matter if the root cause of this Holy Grail War is unclear. We can use the same bug to open a small hole and let Liuli absorb some of the White King’s power first.
After all, after systematic decomposition, the White King's power turned into a pure source of spiritual power, which is clean and hygienic. There is no pollution after consumption, and there are only benefits and no harm.
No matter how you think about it, it’s a win-win!
