Type-Moon Traveler's Enemy
Chapter 350: The ideological conflict between Yuanban and his daughter
Tōsaka Tokiomi said sternly, "Rin! I died early in that world. He probably didn't teach you and Sakura about the magic world when your daughter was little, just like me."
"You think I'm insane, but actually, let me tell you, Rin! What I did was for the better continuation of the Tohsaka family!"
Toosaka Rin retorted without giving in: "A better continuation? Is that why you have such thoughts?!"
"That's right!" Tōsaka Tokiomi retorted without hesitation: "Rin, don't forget what I taught you when you were little. What does a pure-blooded magician mean in the magic world? If strong people unite, they can become even stronger. As long as they are strong enough, our Tōsaka family will not disappear!"
"What's more, Mo Li himself also has the idea of integrating the three great families. In fact, he has already integrated more than half of it. As long as I agree to merge the Tohsaka family into the Mo Li family, then 90% of the work will be completed!"
Seeing that Rin was looking unconvinced, Tohsaka Tokiomi knew that his daughter was very dissatisfied with his idea, but he couldn't give up his idea just because of that.
Tōsaka Tokiomi pondered for a moment, then slowed down his tone and said, "Rin, Mo Li is a very good man, worthy of me entrusting both of my daughters to him, even though he already has Yustiza as his wife."
Toosaka Rin gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think this is fair, Father?"
Tohsaka Tokiomi said, "This is for the continuation of the Tohsaka family! I have to do this! I misjudged Matou Zouken before, I admit this mistake, but I believe I will not misjudge Li Qiye."
"This is the fate of a magus, Rin. If you want your family to continue, this is inevitable. It's the family's unavoidable responsibility."
"I don't want my descendants to gradually fade into obscurity, becoming ordinary people who can only be ruled and manipulated by other magicians while they can rule the world."
Toosaka Rin gritted her teeth, looking resistant and unwilling to admit defeat.
Of course, Tōsaka Tokiomi had no intention of really convincing his daughter from another world. She had grown up and was a head of the family who could support the Tōsaka family's business.
Tohsaka Tokiomi said coldly: "Also, Rin, don't forget the ultimate pursuit of us magicians, to open the root, step into the root, connect to the root, and control the root!"
"Every magician family follows a different path from other magician families. Every magician uses his or her own unique way of magic to try to enter the realm of the root."
"It's undeniable that we will use the magic and theories of other magus families, but we will never allow other families' magic to replace the Tōsaka family's magic! Once we do so, it will be an admission of failure in our own magic, and there will be no possibility of ever reaching the root of it again!"
Toosaka Rin looked unconvinced and said, "So because of this, you've thought about marrying both of your daughters to Li Qiye?"
Toosaka Rin was a professionally trained magician when she was young, but she has not been considered a formal magician since her father's death. Therefore, she and Toosaka Tokiomi have completely different views on the orthodox magicians' obsession with the roots.
Tōsaka Tokiomi nodded in agreement: "That's right, and thanks to Mo Li's integration of the power of the three great families to survive together, the Tōsaka family has also benefited greatly."
"Just because of our alliance with Mo Li, our Tohsaka family has gained the magical knowledge gifted by the Clock Tower Ore King Cokennis and the Celestial King Comarisbili, as well as the magical knowledge originally belonging to the Einzbern and Matou families."
"This alone is a tremendous opportunity that other magus families wouldn't even dare to dream of. It's not just magical knowledge, but also numerous connections and resources. Thanks to this, my Tohsaka family has grown into a leader in the entire Japanese magic world!"
"What?!" Toosaka Rin was extremely shocked: "Has the Tosaka family in this world become so powerful?"
She couldn't even imagine this! Even the gemstone reserves at home were dwindling. It could be said that her own Tohsaka family was in decline, and it was incomparable to the Tohsaka family in this world.
Tōsaka Tokiomi said, "So now you should understand, right? The Tōsaka family has grown to this point entirely because of Mo Li's actions. The Tōsaka family, which benefited from his actions, must express their gratitude."
"Although the Tosaka family and Mo Li were originally allies, we have gained so much and we absolutely cannot rely on the centuries-old alliance to profit from Mo Li with a clear conscience. I know that Mo Li is only taking care of us because he is the head of the Einzbern family."
"Based on what I know about the history of magus families, either I marry my daughter to her, or my Tohsaka family will be incorporated into Mo Li's fold and become a member of his power structure. As one of the three great families, I believe the Tohsaka family can still be placed in a relatively important position."
Toosaka Rin's anger gradually subsided. Frowning, she began to think from the perspective of the head of the Toosaka family in this world: "Does the Toosaka family already owe Li Qiye so much?"
Some things really need to be clearly accounted for. Getting something for nothing? No such thing.
Seeing that his daughter finally began to understand his difficulties, Tōsaka Tokiomi said in a gentler tone, "Rin, on our side, the unification of the three great families is an inevitable trend. Although the people of the Matou family have moved to other cities to live, those people are not important."
"What's important now is how our Tohsaka family can continue to survive under these circumstances, and how we can continue the Tohsaka family's magecraft. This is a problem we must face."
Toosaka Rin said with an embarrassed look on her face, "So after thinking for so long, you could only come up with those two answers?"
After learning about the situation of the Tohsaka family in this world, Tohsaka Rin was not unable to understand her father's decision.
The magician circle is actually quite indifferent. Everyone should be happy to meet a good magician, let alone someone like Mo Li who helped the Tohsaka family to the leading position in the Japanese magic world by doing a favor.
If the magician had evil intentions, he might have turned a favor into a hatred and wanted to harm his benefactor out of resentment.
As a magician who is closer to a normal person, Tohsaka Tokiomi naturally would not think so. He has his own pride and has been distressed for a long time because he received such a great benefit from Mo Li.
But no matter how troubled he was, he did not refuse any of the help offered by Mo Li. The Tohsaka family was not a top-notch magic family that had no worries about food and clothing and could get whatever they wanted.
At the beginning, when the Tohsaka family could still help Mo Li, Tohsaka Tokiomi could accept Mo Li's help and assistance with peace of mind, but not long after, Mo Li himself became the biggest opportunity of the Tohsaka family.
Tōsaka Tokiomi didn't want the Tōsaka family to be in an awkward position in the strategic cooperation where they could only accept help from others but could not give anything in return.
