“Duan, Duanmu… When did we get transportation?”
"It's right outside, right at the entrance."
As the door was pushed open, Van Gogh saw a sidecar motorcycle parked at the corner between the gate and the courtyard. Judging from its condition, it looked like it had been newly purchased and was in good condition.
A hint of bitterness appeared on Van Gogh's face. Only she knew how difficult it was for a home-loving servant like her to walk from this residential area to the commercial street.
At the same time, in the commercial street, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was originally waiting for Caster to take further action, also became one of the witnesses of the unknown creature devouring passers-by.
Archer's solo action gave Tōsaka Tokiomi a bad feeling. The development of the entire Holy Grail War had already exceeded all his plans and layouts. The unrest that affected civilians made him feel a little bit painful for a while.
At this moment, Tōsaka Tokiomi caught a glimpse of a green figure running in the middle of the road, his eyes wide open with disbelief.
Tōsaka Tokiomi quickly stepped forward to intercept the figure. His face was pale. Looking at the face that also looked anxious and helpless, he was the first to ask.
"Aoi, why are you back? Where's Rin? Why isn't she with you?!"
"Rin...Rin ran back alone. Tokiomi, quickly find a way to save Rin. Sakura is gone. We can't lose Rin again!"

Jill: For Ryunosuke, I'm going to flood Fuyuki!
Water, Wind, Flower: Chapter 64: No Big Brother Allowed!
"Big Brother, are you also a magician?"
Sitting on the outermost seat of the sidecar, Toosaka Rin tilted her head and looked at Duanmu Ye who was driving the motorcycle beside her.
Kotone, who was deeply persecuted by Ryunosuke Uryu, has fallen into a deep sleep after relaxing her tense spirit. This is also the moment when Toosaka Rin can openly ask Duanmu Ye, who "saved" her and others.
Duanmu Ye was driving his motorcycle in silence, with an expression on his face that was even uglier than if he had met Gilgamesh by chance.
If I had to say something...Duanmu Ye thought, it would be to forbid big brother!
"I'm sorry, Rin. We're not magicians. To be precise, my ancestors may have had such glory, but for me, all I have left is the desire to continue living as an ordinary person..."
"Eh? Big Brother's ancestors didn't seek their roots or any great aspirations, but rather wanted to survive as ordinary people?"
Toosaka Rin tilted her head. Trained as the heiress of an orthodox magic family, she would also take over the Tohsaka family's origins from her father after this Holy Grail War, and by seizing the Holy Grail, she would achieve the long-cherished wish of returning to the roots, which was passed down from her ancestors.
Although due to the limitations of her growing environment, Toosaka Rin is not sure whether the magicians outside are also pursuing the desire to reach the root, but this is the first time she has seen such a desire to live as an ordinary person.
However, Duanmu Ye didn't remember any ancestors at all. He could only remember the names of three generations ago. Even in these two sentences, nearly 70% of the content was made up on the spot by himself and was false.
In order to obtain more "proof of absence" and "proof of identity", Duanmu Ye must make good use of Toosaka Rin's existence and appear in front of Toosaka Tokiomi with his original identity and image. Otherwise, as time goes by, Toosaka Tokiomi, who controls most of the wealth in Fuyuki City and has contact with power, will inevitably be able to detect the existence of himself as an outsider.
"Yes, according to my family's records, my ancestor was an extremely peace-loving man. He dedicated his entire life to expelling evil spirits and heretics. To this end, he even personally sent friends who had fallen into the devil's way to prison. It's no exaggeration to say that he was a partner of justice."
"Partners of Justice!"
Toosaka Rin's eyes sparkled with stars, as if she had heard a story she had never heard before, and even her face showed curiosity and admiration.
"Then Big Brother's ancestor must be a famous person in the record books!"
The sudden question left Duanmu Ye speechless. Did he remember Toosaka Rin as someone who loved to ask questions? Was it because she was still a child, or was it because Tosaka Tokiomi and Tosaka Aoi were still alive, so she didn't suffer a huge blow?
"I'm sorry, Rin, but my ancestor is just an unknown figure in the long river of history. Even what I know about him is limited to this."
"Is it......"
A hint of regret appeared on Toosaka Rin's face. She was a little depressed because she was not able to know more about the deeds of such a "righteous partner", but she quickly regrouped.
"That......"
"Actually, you don't have to call me big brother all the time. Just call me Duanmu."
"Okay, big brother, why do you know the way to my house?"
......
"My king, I need to go home first..."
"Tokiomi, there's no need to report this to me. I've discovered something quite amusing. The mantis stalks the cicada, a scene I never tire of. Don't bother me again until that Caster shows up again!"
The other end of the magic was unilaterally cut off. Standing in the busy street, Tōsaka Tokiomi's face was extremely ugly.
Interesting thing? A mantis stalking a cicada?
Even though the information revealed in these words was not much, Tōsaka Tokiomi, as a magus, already had a guess in his mind.
The sudden appearance of the familiar in the commercial street could not escape his eyes, but instead of intervening, he would rather watch the innocent humans being preyed on, and called it the mantis stalking the cicada, and he was the oriole.
Tōsaka Tokiomi clenched his fists and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why did he summon such an uncontrollable familiar for the sake of victory? Even if it was the weakest Assassin, if he absolutely obeyed orders and used it properly, he might not be able to win the Holy Grail War for himself.
"Aoi, let's go back first. We'll figure out a solution for Rin's matter after we get back!"
He placed his hand on Toosaka Aoi, who was trembling with fear. From her eyes, it was not difficult for Toosaka Tokiomi to see the fear of losing Sakura and Rin at the same time.
Although a magician doesn't give too much emotion to his family, he actually cherishes every family member he has, whether it's Aoi, Rin, or even Sakura...
He supported Aoi, who was crying and covering her face, as they walked to a nearby car dealership. While buying a brand new car with full payment, Tohsaka Tokiomi rushed to the Tohsaka residence as fast as he could.
The gorgeous villa located in the suburbs of Fuyuki seemed extremely lonely at this moment. When Aoi Tousaka returned to the villa, her legs suddenly went weak and she couldn't move forward even a step.
"Tokiomi, we've been hearing news of missing children since this morning, and even the Matou residence caught fire... Do you think Rin might also..."
"Father, mother!"
Suddenly, a slight noise behind her made Tohsaka Aoi, who had been complaining to Tohsaka Tokiomi, look back. In the distance, a figure slowly emerged from the uphill road. It was Rin on a three-wheeled motorcycle and three unfamiliar strangers.
Toosaka Aoi, who seemed to have lost all her strength, suddenly burst out with extremely powerful strength. After the motorcycle stopped, she rushed forward and hugged Toosaka Rin in her arms.
Following closely behind, Tohsaka Tokiomi came to Duanmu Ye's side. Looking at this face he had never seen before, his vigilance as a local magician made him make an invitation immediately.
"My friend, thank you for bringing Rin back. I can't express my gratitude enough. Could you please come with me to the house and have a chat? I swear on the honor of the Tohsaka family, I will give you a very generous reward!"
Duanmu Ye couldn't help but sneer in his heart at Tōsaka Tokiomi's words. How could he not see such an obvious Hongmen Banquet?
But since Tōsaka Tokiomi has extended such an invitation to me, how can I ignore his invitation and give up this best opportunity to create an identity for myself?
Water, Wind, Flower: Chapter 65: The Battle of Miyuan River? The Battle of the Tsunami!
Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was walking in the front, mobilized the magic power around him and removed the gem magic that was scattered around to prevent other people participating in the Holy Grail War from assassinating him. At this moment, he had more important things to do.
The face that followed was one that Tōsaka Tokiomi had never seen before in the list of people in Fuyuki City that he had. Although he couldn't remember every appearance, he could still clearly tell the difference between those he had never seen before and those he couldn't remember clearly.
The silent atmosphere did not seem to allow any time for communication. Toosaka Tokiomi was thinking about how to deal with the stranger behind him. Even if he brought Toosaka Rin back to his side, no magician had ever been able to leave here safely after spying on the magic of the Tosaka family.
"What a luxurious house, Mr. Tousaka! You must be a very wealthy man, right?"
Suddenly, a voice from behind interrupted Tōsaka Tokiomi's thoughts. He turned his head slightly and saw the man who had been walking side by side with him looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Of course, the Tousaka family has built their prosperity on this land for generations. By my generation, the scale of our business has covered the entire Fuyuki. Just look at the commercial streets you're familiar with, and nearly 60% of the business districts are controlled by the Tousaka family."
Having said that... during the daytime battle between Caster and Saber, nearly half of the commercial district was reduced to ruins that could no longer be used. Moreover, when he learned of Rin's disappearance, combined with the familiar-devouring-human incident he had witnessed not long ago, he did not go to the car dealership owned by the Tōsaka family to make the purchase. After all, he could not look for places where he could exercise his power without first confirming Rin's safety.
Even though most of the industry was destroyed, it was not something difficult for him to accept. He could even use the post-disaster reconstruction to acquire industries that did not previously belong to the Tohsaka family at extremely low prices, allowing them to create more wealth and foundation for himself, the Tohsaka family, and for Rin to learn gem magic in the future.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a reception hall filled with luxury appeared before his eyes. There were countless gems and gold, but for Tōsaka Tokiomi, a wealthy tycoon in Fuyuki, these were things he was already accustomed to.
"Sit down, my friend. You are qualified to sit here."
Tohsaka Tokiomi personally pointed to the sofa in front for Duanmu Ye and then sat down. Sitting with him was Tohsaka Aoi, who was holding Tohsaka Rin's hand tightly.
Toosaka Rin's eyes were always on Duanmu Ye opposite her, but the etiquette she remembered did not allow her the right to speak casually on this occasion. After all, her father, as the head of the family, was the one who actually asked questions and made decisions.
Taking his eyes off Toosaka Rin, Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at Duanmu Ye who was constantly looking at the valuables in the room beside him, and smiled softly.
"Friend, on behalf of the entire Tosaka family, I thank you for bringing Rin back to our side. As for her classmate Kotone, I will arrange for someone to send her home safely. Could you please tell me your name and background so that I can better trust you and give you the corresponding reward?"
In addition to external appearances, a person's identity can also be confirmed through his name and origin. The surname often represents the honor of a family, and the origin can directly let people know his background.
In response to this question, after just a little thought, Duanmu Ye gave an answer in a very casual manner in the direction of Tōsaka Tokiomi.
"Duanmu..."
Tōsaka Tokiomi kept muttering the name over and over again. He had indeed never heard of this surname in Fuyuki. Even among the magic associations and magic families that he knew of, there had never been anyone with such a surname.
Although there were quite a few third-rate magicians attracted to the Holy Grail War, the act of openly revealing one's name and background made Tōsaka Tokiomi somewhat doubt whether he was too sensitive. Perhaps the man named "Duanmu Ye" in front of him was just an ordinary person who was not even a third-rate magician?
"You said you're from China, and your ancestors learned magic and have their own residences in many places. You came to Fuyuki to visit a relative named Ba and take care of the house in Fuyuki that has been abandoned for a long time?"
"It's like this, Mr. Tokiomi. I just arrived here a short time ago and just wanted to go out and relax. I never thought I would encounter something like this."
Honestly... a confession that even magic couldn't detect any lies, which gave Tōsaka Tokiomi a headache.
Because he did know a guy named "Ba", and his disciple Kotomine Kirei often went to her restaurant to eat. Although he could not appreciate the food there, he did know such a person.
Since they are from China, it is understandable that I don't know this name. Moreover, their family has completely fallen into decline and become ordinary people. My initial vigilance seems a bit redundant.
At this moment, Tohsaka Tokiomi showed a relatively kind smile and asked about what happened between Kotone and Tohsaka Rin. Duanmu Ye did not miss any opportunity to add fuel to the fire and told the Master of Archer in front of him the cause and process of everything.
Immediately, the sound of fists hitting the armrests rang out in the hall. Even though he was trying his best to control his expression, Tōsaka Tokiomi's face still revealed an anger that could not be ignored.
"Uzumaki Ryunosuke! You actually reached out to my side!"
"Could it be that Mr. Tokiomi knows him?"
Duanmu Ye's seemingly casual question made both Tohsaka Aoi and Tohsaka Rin's eyes fall on Tohsaka Tokiomi.
Tōsaka Tokiomi closed his eyes while being watched. Coming from a family of magic, how could he possibly possess information that ordinary people couldn't? Ever since reports of magic circles appeared in the murders around Fuyuki, he had locked his sights on Ryunosuke Uryu, who always appeared in the crowd of onlookers in a very subtle way.
However, because all seven knights had been summoned before this, and even Caster, the last one summoned, had already fought against Rider, he regarded the subsequent news as a third-rate magus who had attempted to touch the Holy Grail but failed to summon it, and did not observe any of his actions.
However, Tōsaka Tokiomi never expected that...the missing children incident that started this morning would be connected to him so quickly, and even affected Rin, whom he had high hopes for.
"Duanmu, thank you for what you did tonight. There are some cash and gold bars in the box over there. Just consider it as your..."
Before Tōsaka Tokiomi finished his words, the landline next to him rang. As the voice came from the other end of the phone, Tōsaka Tokiomi's face became a little solemn after he put down the phone.
Ryunosuke Uryu was confirmed dead, and the body retrieved by the familiar was Ryunosuke Uryu. Even in the conversation with Kotomine Risei, he got a piece of information that made his back shudder.
This Holy Grail War features an eighth class, an additional class summoned by Ryunosuke Uzumaki through a ritual...
However, before Tōsaka Tokiomi could think too much, the entire house suddenly shook violently.
"Tokiomi, there's a good show to watch!"
Gilgamesh's voice flashed through his mind. Tōsaka Tokiomi suddenly stood up and looked out the window. He saw a giant beast that could not be described in words rising from the sea surface of Fuyuki Port. Its dancing tentacles stirred up waves. The water droplets falling on the window made it impossible for him to distinguish whether they were droplets splashing from the waves in the distance or rain falling from the sky.
"Yes, it's that monster!"
Toosaka Rin's sudden voice made Tohsaka Tokiomi's mood plummet. He had already figured out how to use the crimson Command Seals that were constantly flashing with light in his hand.
Even though he would lose the power to control Gilgamesh if he lost the Command Seals, at this moment, he did not mind using the Command Seals to force Gilgamesh to launch an attack that could be called "revenge."
At the same time, beside the bloodless corpse of Ryunosuke Uryu that was on the body of the huge sea monster that was constantly expanding, Gil de Red's eyes were filled with unparalleled madness.
"Ah, Ryunosuke, you and I are both pitiful people played around by the gods. That child was right. Only the gods of another world can redeem us. Don't be afraid of Ryunosuke. I will make all those who hurt you pay the price. I will use that child, no, use the power given to me by that god, to stir up a chaos that will desecrate the entire world!"
"Prelati's Spellbook—!"
Water, Wind, Flower: The reward has ended, I will punish myself and update more qwq
Let me see, how much will be owed for this week's bounty?
Image: "Reward Start", Location: "Images/1727367147-100415105-112169018.jpg"
Image: "As of now", Location: "Images/1727367116-100415105-112169018.jpg"
The recommended votes are 10204-6588=3616= update
The monthly ticket is 1478-872=606=two updates
The reward is 13980-3464=10516=counted as one update!
The blade is 185-108=77=which also counts as one update!
In short, it seems like I owe five more chapters, but when I think about it carefully, it might be because Qingfeng set the goal too high, so Qingfeng decided to punish himself by adding three chapters on top of the five chapters, which means fifteen chapters!
Qingfeng would like to thank all the readers who have been following along. Please go to the online store and don’t hesitate to reveal any spoilers!
Water, Wind, Flower: Available! But I'm a bit hesitant to say it...
This book has finally come to this day. In fact, the editor said last week that it could be put on the shelves, but Qingfeng decided to write free chapters for another week. It can be said that it has reached the middle to late part of the first volume, right?
Before this, readers who paid attention to the end of the first chapter should know that Qingfeng was hit by a car during the Chinese New Year and almost went to another world to meet his paper-man wife. Fortunately, he only suffered varying degrees of injuries to his body and arms, with the most serious being a broken wrist. (Electric scooters really shouldn't be driven at night; cars that run red lights are really blind.)
Therefore, the last book was discontinued without any warning, also because I wanted to type but lacked the energy.
