Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

But she still helped herself.

Obviously.

The other party is definitely not a decent person.

And if such a being had no ulterior motive, why would it suddenly become interested in these insignificant people?

"Um..."

"If it's inconvenient, then forget it."

"It's not that it's inconvenient, it's just that I've offended some people. If I step in to help them out, and then accidentally get caught later, maybe someone will put in a good word for me?"

Mary sighed dejectedly.

"In short, I'm troubling you, little guy. Please make sure you get these things done for me. Remember to mention my name, as it concerns my future life and death."

"Okay, ma'am."

"Oh, right."

Just as Maris Billy was about to hang up the phone, Mary suddenly asked curiously, "How old is your daughter now?"

When talking about his daughter.

Maris Billy's expression remained very calm, with the smile that was always on his lips.

She'll be two years old in a while.

“She’s already two years old, she’s not a child anymore, I should arrange an engagement for her.”

Even Maris Billy was momentarily silent after hearing Meryl's words before softly asking, "Who is the man?"

"It can't really be said to be the man."

Marisbury: "?"

"Don't worry, don't worry. To be precise, it's a male, a dragon that was just born recently."

"dragon?"

"Yeah, don't ask about the specifics of how it was born. Anyway, I definitely won't lie to you. We owe a lot to him for purifying the Holy Grail in Fuyuki this time."

"I see."

Marisbury was not a fool who liked to pry into things, so he became a monarch.

"Would it be convenient to ask his name and current location?"

"I can't say the location, but his name is Lin Jiu'an. As for more details, you can ask them when you go to Fuyuki and the Tohsaka family. Just ask them as Lin Jiu'an's future father-in-law."

Chapter 54 Rin Tohsaka: I will take him back!

Tohsaka family.

Rin Tohsaka's bedroom.

"Rin, a monarch from the Clock Tower will be visiting our house in a little while. He wants to meet you and Sakura."

Aoi Tohsaka's voice came from outside the door.

After a while, Aoi Tohsaka still hadn't received a response from her daughter.

"cold?"

Rin Tohsaka, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, finally came to her senses.

"Ah, I see."

"Okay, then pack your things and come down in a bit."

"Good to Mother."

Hearing Aoi Tohsaka's footsteps receding into the distance, Rin Tohsaka shrank back, hugging her legs and burying her head between her knees.

When I woke up that day, it was already the next day.

Lying in my bed at home, it was as if nothing had happened.

The father was defined as 'accidentally dying in the Holy Grail War', and those people who were captured by the father to sacrifice for the Holy Grail were also convicted by the authorities by a group of bandits and the case was closed. The Holy Grail War, which was about to reach a fever pitch, came to an abrupt end because of what happened that night.

But Rin Tohsaka knew that a lot had happened that night.

He was almost sacrificed by his own father. If Lin Jiu'an, whom he once regarded as his father's killer, had not appeared in time and saved him, he would have died.

but he...

"elder sister?"

"what?!"

Rin Tohsaka was startled and looked up to see Sakura Tohsaka standing by the bedside, looking at her with concern.

Startled by her sudden reaction, he instinctively took a step back.

"Sister, sister?"

"It's Sakura. I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something. What's wrong?"

"Just now, Mother said that guests had arrived. The guests have already arrived, and Mother asked me to call you downstairs."

"So fast?"

"Actually, it's been a long time."

Sakura Tohsaka couldn't help but say, and after a moment of silence, she looked at Rin Tohsaka, who seemed a little lost and whose gaze was darting away from her, and said softly, "Regarding my brother's disappearance, neither my mother nor I have ever blamed you, sister."

To say it's not the older sister's fault?

That's actually impossible.

Sakura Tohsaka had no idea what her mother was thinking.

But Sakura Tohsaka herself knew that she actually harbored some resentment towards her older sister.

But in any case, the incident has already happened, and upon closer examination, the responsibility cannot be entirely placed on the older sister.

If anyone's to blame, it's the time of day!

"Moreover, although Berserker cannot pinpoint his location through Command Seals, he can confirm that his brother is currently in good condition."

Rin Tohsaka lowered her head deeply.

She knew, of course, that neither her mother nor her sister blamed her, and that they treated her the same way they had always had.

But just because they don't blame her doesn't mean she can accept all of this with a clear conscience.

If I hadn't considered Lin Jiu'an my father's killer, if I hadn't defied my mother's orders and secretly gone to the church to find my father late at night, if I hadn't...

If it weren't for myself.

Lin Jiu'an wouldn't run to save himself and confront the monster in the Holy Grail, nor would he disappear.

"I'm fine, let me go downstairs to see the guests."

Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Tohsaka went downstairs and saw a handsome young man with white hair sitting opposite their mother in the living room.

"Sakura, Rin, you've arrived."

Upon seeing her two daughters stand up, Aoi Tohsaka introduced them, "Mr. Marisbury, these are my daughters, Rin and Sakura."

"Greetings, I am Marisbury Animusfiah, the monarch of the Clock Tower's Astronomical Department."

Upon hearing the other party's identity, Rin Tohsaka became somewhat reserved.

"Hello."

"Don't be nervous, I'm here on the behalf of a senior colleague..."

After a few pleasantries, Marisbury got straight to the point: "Would you be willing to come with me to the Clock Tower for further studies?"

To become a disciple of the monarch.

These were not students attending lectures in a large classroom like those at the Clock Tower, but rather true disciples personally invited by the monarch.

This temptation is immense for magicians, especially since this far eastern region, considered a remote and impoverished area by the European magic community, is a great honor for any descendant of a magic family.

“I’m sorry, thank you for your kindness, but I want to stay with my mother.” Sakura Tohsaka shook her head.

"It doesn't matter."

Maris Billy still wore that same gentle smile.

"You can come to me whenever you change your mind, or when you grow up and want to study at the Clock Tower, even if you don't want to join the Department of Astronomy or become my student, you can call me and I will help you arrange things in London."

"Thank you very much."

"This is what I should do."

Marisbury looked at Rin Tohsaka, who had a conflicted expression.

"And what about you, child?"

Rin Tohsaka naturally wanted to stay with her mother and sister.

But unlike Sakura.

She bears the responsibility of becoming the future head of the Tohsaka family. Her mother has reserved the Tohsaka family's magic crest for her, and she is just waiting for the right time to inherit it.

And wait until the future.

She will definitely participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War, which will be sometime in the future, no matter how many years or how far away it is.

It's not just about reviving the Tohsaka family.

It was also to atone for his sins, and to obtain the Holy Grail to find Lin Jiu'an.

Moreover, she was somewhat hesitant to be near her mother and sister. Whenever she saw them, she was reminded of how she had caused Lin Jiu'an's disappearance, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Mother..."

Rin Tohsaka looked at her mother, who returned a gentle smile.

"Do whatever you want, Rin."

"Whether you want to inherit the headship of the Tohsaka family or decide to give up living as an ordinary person or an ordinary magician, you will always be your mother's child."

Rin Tohsaka bit her lower lip tightly, and after a long while, she resolutely looked at Maris Billy.

"I want to learn from you!"

She wants to become a magician more powerful than anyone else.

It wasn't for the glory of the Tohsaka family.

It's not for any magician's long-cherished wish to reach the source!

Instead, he went to help his mother and sister.

We must snatch Lin Jiu'an back from Irisviel and Artoria, from Natalia, Sora, and Minamoto no Yorimitsu, no matter who it is!

······

Tokyo, the Sajo family.

As always, Lin Jiu'an woke up to the sound of pigeons flapping their wings in the garden, and a few seconds after he opened his eyes, the alarm clock on the bedside table rang.

'Squeak'.

It was accompanied by a very soft sound.

The bedroom door was pushed open a crack.

A little girl with short black hair, about eight years old, cautiously peeked her head in.

The girl's face was exquisitely beautiful, clearly a future beauty. Her face possessed both the liveliness expected of a girl her age and the timidity that came from a well-educated upbringing.

"Ayaka, what are you doing?"

"ah!"

Like a child caught doing something wrong, Sajo Ayaka was startled at first and instinctively shrank back. Then, seeing Lin Jiu'an sitting on the bed looking at her, she hesitated but mustered up her courage and timidly looked at Lin Jiu'an.

"Brother, good morning."
