Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 3 Kamiya Yu: Punishment, these days it is really getting more and more complicated, but prison is not the place to be imprisoned!

In the study of the Tohsaka family, silence is the bridge of peace tonight.

After making that shocking statement, Tōsaka Tokiomi looked at Kamiya Yu anxiously, waiting for his response.

The Kamiya family and the Tōsaka family have been old friends for hundreds of years. Although Kamiya Yu is only a few years younger than him, Tōsaka Tokiomi has watched him grow up and knows him very well.

Moreover, through some connections in the Clock Tower, Tōsaka Tokiomi also learned about Kamiya Yu's attainments in rune magic and his strength as a magician. Even though the Kamiya family did not have any inherited magic seals, Tokiomi still hoped that he would adopt his daughter Sakura.

Because, according to the diary of their ancestor Tosaka Nagato, the Kamiya family's "divine body" will most likely be repaired during this Holy Grail War.

As long as Sakura becomes the stepdaughter of the Kamiya family, she will have the opportunity to inherit the "Ancient Shinto" of the Kamiya family.

Even if his daughter doesn't have that qualification, Kamiya Yu's strength is enough to protect her until she grows up.

"I don't understand what you mean, Tokiomi." Kamiya Yu's expression also became serious, and he chose his words carefully.

No matter how good his relationship with Tōsaka Tokiomi was, having a young wife was not a crime.

After all, I am still young and don’t want to go to the police station to eat pork chop rice.

"..."

After hearing what Kamiya Yu said, Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes suddenly became a little dim. In his opinion, this good friend rejected his request.

However, this is natural.

As long as it involves the inheritance of their own magic, any magician will transform into a demon and guard it with his life, not allowing any of the family magic to be leaked.

Not to mention the magic tradition of "Ancient Shinto" which involves magic from the Age of Gods.

Tōsaka Tokiomi subconsciously folded his hands, his palms sweating from nervousness, but his eyes gradually became firm.

If Kamiya Yu refused to adopt Sakura, Tokiomi actually had one last way out - that was to adopt Sakura to her aunt's family, the Edelfeldt family, but this was not a good choice.

Because of some events that occurred during the Third Holy Grail War, the Tōsaka family and the Edelfeldt family have had no further contact with each other since then.

However, if Tokiomi took the initiative to submit to the Edelfeldt family, they would still be willing to adopt Sakura.

As for the already declining Matou family, Tōsaka Tokiomi had no intention of adopting Sakura into their family.

According to the contents of his ancestor's diary, Tokiomi had long been suspicious of the Matou family, and over the years, he had also collected some information through the intelligence network, which further strengthened his idea that there was something wrong with the Matou family.

Therefore, even though the head of the Matou family, Matou Zouken, had repeatedly asked Tōsaka Tokiomi to adopt an heir, he politely refused.

"Yu-kun, do you know the seal designation?" After relieving the tension in his heart, Tohsaka Tokiomi regained his composure and asked in a steady tone.

"I know a little bit." Kamiya Yu looked at Tokiomi strangely, then answered softly.

He was also clear about the seal designation of the Magic Association.

After all, the founder of modern rune magic, which Kamiya Yuu practiced to protect the Primordial Rune, was a magus who had been sealed. "If that's the case, then you should be aware that the Magic Association seals magi who possess rare talents but lack protection, preserving them in formalin as specimens, right?"

Before Kamiya Yu could respond, Tōsaka Tokiomi continued with a complicated expression.

"I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, but both of my Tohsaka family's daughters possess rare talents that are equivalent to miracles. Rin's attribute is the five elements, while Sakura's is the even rarer imaginary attribute."

"Both sisters have met the criteria for being sealed, but my Tohsaka family's protection can only be given to one of them."

"The child who doesn't become the heir will either be caught up in all sorts of strange events due to their own demonic nature, or be discovered by the Magic Association and sealed away in the name of protection."

At this point, Tōsaka Tokiomi's face showed fatigue and sadness. "As a father, I can't bear to give up on either Rin or Sakura, but for their safety, I can only ask you, Yu-kun..."

"Tokiomi, I understand your feelings, but even so, I also--" Kamiya Yu sat up straight and tried to make a final persuasion.

Boom!
But Tōsaka Tokiomi suddenly stood up, and a loud crash interrupted his words.

As Kamiya Yuu looked stunned, Tohsaka Tokiomi bent down and bowed to him at a 90-degree angle. Mrs. Tohsaka beside him did the same thing, and then the couple spoke in unison.

"Please agree to our request, Yu-kun, and let Sakura be adopted into the Kamiya family!"

"...I can't marry her either." Before he could finish the second half of the sentence, Kamiya Yu swallowed it back.

"——Huh? Adoption?"

After hearing the content of Tōsaka Tokiomi's request, Kamiya Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but think to himself, "It turns out that I was right at the beginning. It's all Tokiomi's fault. It's because his words were so easy to be misunderstood."

Well, everything is Tokiomi's fault.jpg
"If it's just about adopting Sakura into the Kamiya family, I agree." After putting the blame on Tokiomi, Kamiya Yu agreed directly.

"what?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi didn't expect Kamiya Yu's attitude to change so suddenly, and he was completely stunned.

"Don't look at me in such shock, Tokiomi." Kamiya Yu waved his hand and said in a gentle tone, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to arrange my parents' funeral, nor would I have had the opportunity to study magic in the Clock Tower."

"So, don't worry, I will do my best to teach Sakura. Of course, if you miss Sakura, you can also come to the Kamiya family as a guest. I welcome you very much."

Looking at the sincere look on Kamiya Yuu's face, Tōsaka Tokiomi really didn't know what to say to express his gratitude. In the end, all his words merged into one heartfelt thank you, "Thank you so much, Yuu-kun..."

Mrs. Tosaka covered her mouth tightly, her pale blue eyes turned slightly red, and one could even see crystal tears accumulating in the corners of her eyes.

You must know that in the magician society, adopted children must completely sever ties with their family, and no contact of any kind is allowed. Only in this way can the heir's absolute loyalty to the family be guaranteed.

After all, if loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyalty.

The decision Kamiya Yu made today completely violates the common sense of the magic world.

However, having said that, it is estimated that before Sakura comes of age, the Tōsaka family will consciously keep their distance from the Kamiya family.
