……

As it turns out, old age can make one stronger.

The profile picture of that 40-year-old aunt might be Yuyuko. Who is Yuyuko? You don't need to know too much about the outdated Touhou Project.

The story of Dongfang is actually about a town gate.

You always say that the city gates of the Celestial Empire bully honest people, but actually the city gates of the Sakura Kingdom are the ones that bully people the most.

—A thief broke into the factory premises and was caught by the factory staff. However, the town officials and the thief colluded to falsely accuse the factory of emitting red gas containing PM2.5.

—A centenarian was growing a tree in his own home. After much effort, the tree was almost fully grown and started to bloom. However, the town official, jealous that his home was too cold, wanted to burn some firewood and cut down the tree. The old man was even beaten up.

—A seventeen-year-old girl without parents, whose two younger sisters were bullied by the town officials, confronted them and ended up being beaten up. To this day, the girl is too scared to go out.

—A princess and a pharmacist from a minority ethnic group diligently made medicine for the people and helped them. However, they were suspected of using witchcraft to manipulate the moon and were ordered to close their business by the city authorities.

—A middle-aged woman from the countryside loved to grow sunflowers. When the town official passed by, he vandalized her flower field, which angered the woman. In the end, the town official didn't compensate her at all, but used force to silence her.

The indigenous temple on the mountaintop, whose worshippers had done nothing wrong, was denounced by the town officials as feudal superstition and ordered to rectify its practices. The temple's head was also forcibly brought under the control of the government.

—A wealthy heiress who built her own underground mansion was suspected of using it as a secret nuclear weapons research facility for an enemy country. As a result, the mansion was forcibly demolished by the city authorities, and the heiress's younger sister was also injured by the city authorities and remains unconscious to this day.

Zhong Gui: "The city gates of the Cherry Blossom Country are terrifying. Let's skip Gensokyo for now and go somewhere else~"

Zhong Gui casually came up with a ridiculous excuse and had the system open the door to the Type-Moon world.

Gaia and Alaya: "Sir, please come in~"

……

In the Moon World, in a parallel universe, around 1994, at the Tohsaka residence in Fuyuki City.

"Dad, Sakura, Sakura, she..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka, standing by the window, did not turn around. He simply watched the car receding into the distance, carrying his second daughter, who was now the heir to the Matou family.

"Rin, Sakura is now the heir to the Matou family. From today onwards, she is no longer your sister."

Tokiomi Tohsaka smiled slightly, not because he didn't care about his daughter, but because he was thinking about a bright future.

He has two daughters, Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Tohsaka.

Unlike himself, his two daughters were not ordinary people; they were both one-in-a-million magic geniuses.

This is what he is most proud of, but it also brings him some trouble.

A magician's legacy includes something special—a magic mark.

Since the beginning of the Common Era, human history has banished all mystery. In contrast to the expansion of the light of science, the darkness of mystery has gradually faded, and no matter how much magicians try to intervene, they cannot reverse this trend.

The mysteries of the Age of Gods have gone to that distant beyond, and in modern times, even making them exist briefly is extremely difficult. Magical Crests, on the other hand, are "fixed mysteries" created by magicians to overcome the passage of time.

Magic markings are the mystical markings that a magician spends a lifetime honing and solidifying.

It can also be said to be the magical legacy that makes a magician's family lineage a magician's family lineage.

The so-called magic mark can be described as an auxiliary engine that is different from the magician's own circuitry.

The magic engraved inside can be activated as long as magic power flows through it.

No complicated incantations are required. Once it's running, it can make the magic vehicle move—the ultimate acceleration device.

A magic mark is an "inheritable legacy" that contains all the research results from the ancestor of a magician's family to the present day, and also contains the regret of successive masters for "not being able to bring magic to its pinnacle".

Magical inscriptions, with their ancient and long history, are not only extremely valuable, but can also be seen as the crystallization of countless curses and thoughts of magicians throughout the ages.

Setting aside all the nonsensical interpretations, the Magic Mark can be understood as a stack of knowledge passed down through generations of a family, fully embodying the idea that the older the magic mark, the more powerful it is.

Of course, if a generation produces a super genius who surpasses some of the older generations, that's another story.

Tokiomi Tohsaka had two genius daughters: his eldest daughter, Rin Tohsaka, had the "Five Elements" magic attribute, and his second daughter, Sakura Tohsaka, had the rare "Imaginary Number" attribute.

However, the Tohsaka family's magic crest can only be passed down to one person, so Tokiomi Tohsaka had to give up one of his daughters' talents.

Magic Crests can be disassembled, but even Tokiomi Tohsaka himself couldn't disassemble their family's Magic Crests.

Compared to Rin, Sakura's "imaginary number" attribute was excellent, but the Tohsaka family had no way to develop it, so Sakura was abandoned.

The world of magicians has always been dark. Once Sakura is exposed, her fate, without any magical crest inheritance, is very likely to be preserved in formalin for research.

Tokiomi Tohsaka felt he couldn't protect her.

Just as Tokiomi Tohsaka was fretting over this, the Matou family, who had no heir, came knocking on his door.

After learning more about it, and hearing that the other party could transform Sakura's "imaginary number" into the Matou family's "water," Tokiomi Tohsaka immediately agreed.

He even considered an alternative way to seize everything from the Matou family, and then have both of his genius daughters embark on the path of magic.

If I fail, Rin and Sakura can still participate in the Holy Grail War sixty years later if given the chance in the future. Then, being geniuses, they will always be able to enter the Root more easily than I can and fulfill the long-cherished wish of a magus.

Of course, Tokiomi Tohsaka would accept it if either of them fell during this process.

"Idiot!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Who!!!???"

Chapter 120 Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Tohsaka

"Are you an idiot?!"

Zhong Gui had been standing by the window for who knows how long.

"Who are you!"

Startled awake, Tokiomi Tohsaka drew his jeweled cane and quickly shielded Rin behind him. The sudden appearance of Zhong Gui startled him, and a chill ran through him.

"Who are you, and why have you intruded into the Tohsaka family's residence?"

"Intrusion? Does walking in like this count as intrusion?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka squinted, holding a gem in his hand.

The intruder before him was quite powerful. Although he considered himself to be of average talent, Tokiomi Tohsaka was actually just an ordinary genius, and within the Tohsaka family, he was only considered mediocre.

Through adhering to the Tohsaka family precepts and through hard work, Tokiomi became a respected magician.

And those stronger than himself, the magicians who can appear silently...

"Grand Rank!?"

Why not "ancestor"?

"!!!"

"Look how scared you are."

Zhong Gui found it very amusing to see Tokiomi Tohsaka's terrified expression.

Zhong Gui thought for a moment and took out a staff—the Staff of Homa.

To reiterate, the homa staff is a fire poker, a walking stick, not a gun. Walnut just used it as a gun.

The staff of homa touched the ground, and an invisible wave emanated, causing the entire world to freeze.

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "!!!"

Although he didn't know what had happened, he had just felt a mysterious sensation he had never experienced before.

That is a mystery that does not belong to the human world!

A Servant? Incarnated from spirit particles? That can't be this early!

"Want to go out for a walk?"

Zhong Gui ignored Tokiomi Tohsaka's reaction, walked past him who was stiff, grabbed Rin's small hand, and went out.

Toosaka Tokiomi: “…”

Watching his family's heir being taken away, and being powerless to do anything about it, Tokiomi Tohsaka was filled with fear.

cold:"???"

Rin followed quietly, and her father did not object, assuming that she was a friend of his.

Adhering to the family's tradition of elegance, she resisted being pulled away, but she did not stop.

Because Zhong Gui said, "Are we going to pick Ying up and take her home?"

Can we go? How can we not go?!

Rin turned her head away from her father, afraid of being called by him.
