Chapter 9 Giving Stones as Gifts
“But as far as I know, the Matou family also participated in this Holy Grail War.”
Kotomine Kirei frowned and said.
“I know what you are worried about, but Kariya Matou, who participated in the war on behalf of the Matou family, is just a guy who gave up on the path of magic halfway.
Although the Holy Grail War is more about being summoned The Heroic Spirit itself is powerful, but if the magician as the master is half-assed, it will be useless no matter how powerful the servants summoned, because as the master they themselves are weak.
However, you do have to be careful, which is why I asked you to come over.
Kirei, I need you to use the power of your servant Assassin to investigate some of the situations here.
Whether this is a conspiracy by the Matou family, or whether an unknown force really kidnapped Sakura, I hope you can figure out what's going on here.
Then bring that child Sakura back as safely as possible. "
"I understand, Mr. Tokiomi. ”
"This is Sakura's photo."
Tohsaka Tokiomi took out a group photo from his pocket. There were two little girls in the photo, but they were his two lovely daughters.
The younger one, when she was still called Tohsaka Sakura, smiled so innocently and happily.
"What a lovely child, not inferior to Miss Rin at all."
Kotomine Kirei said politely with an expressionless expression.
"Sakura's talent is indeed not inferior to Rin, but unfortunately, the Tohsaka family only has one inheritance of magic. No matter which child inherits the inheritance of magic, the other child who cannot inherit the inheritance of magic will suffer from the effects of that rare talent. "
Tokiomi Tosaka sighed as he spoke. This was also when the Matou family proposed to adopt a daughter from the Tosaka family as the future successor to the Matou family's magic. He did not refuse. reason.
"Okay, Kirei, act quickly, I'm worried about the safety of that child."
Tokiomi Tosaka held up the red wine glass and signaled to the disciples next to him that they could take action. .
"Is the child lost? Tokiomi, why don't you come to me for help?"
After Kotomine Kirei left, a blond man walked in outside the balcony. This man had a pair of crimson vertical pupils that looked like snake-like creatures. He was not Mr. Jin, an enthusiastic citizen of Fuyuki City in the future, but he had a face Bored and looking for something to do.
Looking for the missing daughter for his ministers was something that the former fifth king of Uruk could do to pass the time.
If Tohsaka Tokiomi, a man, knelt down and prayed to him with a pious attitude, Gilgamesh would treat it as a boring moment and grant his request to help.
"How dare I allow the great King of Heroes to condescend to me? This is just my own private matter."
Facing the kindness of his servant, Tokiomi Tosaka said respectfully.
"Huh, what a boring guy."
Looking at his respectful look, Gilgamesh felt disappointed. His situation was like a tyrant who suddenly wanted to do something good, but the people underneath him She didn't believe that he would do good things, but she didn't dare to refute him because of his noble status. Then she used the respectful attitude of Tohsaka Tokiomi at the moment, making it difficult for people to find fault, to deal with him.
Tosaka Tokiomi: "..."
If this was not the aloof and arrogant King of Heroes, he would have treated him as an ordinary familiar.
Although the remaining two Command Spells in the hand can also be used to force the other party to control, if the Command Spell is used in such a trivial matter, how can the subsequent Holy Grail War be fought?
Do you want him to use gem magic to fight head-on with those monster-like heroic spirits?
Just when Tokiomi Tosaka responded to the King of Heroes' comments with silence, Kotomine Kirei suddenly walked back from outside the study.
"Why are you back?"
Tosaka Tokiomi broke the silence and asked.
"Teacher, there is no need to look for your daughter, she is outside."
Kotomine Kirei's expression was a little subtle as he replied.
As soon as he took the photo and was about to go out to look for someone, he met three people at the door who were about to ring the doorbell.
And one of them is the little girl in the photo in his hand.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Tokiomi Tosaka was stunned, and then asked about the specific situation.
"I didn't ask, but teacher, your daughter was sent home by two people, one large and one young.
The younger one was a boy about the same age as your daughter, and the older one was a girl holding a bamboo knife.
The other person looks aggressive, but he is an ordinary person."
Kotomine Kirei said what he saw and followed Tosaka Tokiomi outside.
“Dad!”
When Tokiomi Tosaka came outside to the entrance, he heard his little daughter's shout of surprise, but it was just a shout.
The young Sakura stood outside the door of Tohsaka's house with a hesitant look, not daring to step into the house.
"Sakura..."
Tosaka Tokiomi's eyes softened, but before he could say anything, he was greeted by the 1988 Type Moon World version T0.
"You must be the father of this child. I never thought that a rich man living in such a big villa would abandon his young daughter!"
Fujimura Taiga started scolding when they met, and pointed the bamboo knife in his hand at Tosaka Tokiomi's nose. She was filled with anger just now when she saw the young Sakura cowering and not daring to enter the house.
What on earth did this child suffer in this home, so that even when he arrived at the door, the door was already open, and he was still standing outside without daring to go inside.
“A bastard like you who abandons his daughter can be considered a man and a father?!”
The scolded Tosaka Tokiomi: “…”
Kotomine Kirei next to him twitched the corners of his mouth, while Mr. Jin behind him had an expression as if he was watching a show.
"Today, if you let her in, she will come in. If you don't let her in, she will have to come in. If you don't want me to kick you out of this home with my fists, you'd better be sensible and let her go home!"
After Taiga Fujimura finished cursing at the beginning, Broly also raised his little fist and stepped forward, making a threatening look on the other side of the young Sakura.
The two people, one on the left and one on the right, are like the Yakuza on the street threatening shops that dare not pay the sanitation management fee.
It’s just that one of the people who did this was an upright, youthful and beautiful junior high school girl, and the other was a young boy who looked like he was still in kindergarten. Therefore, the actual effect was Connor's version of the dragon's roaring scene.
Tosaka Tokiomi thought that the disappearance of his youngest daughter might be a conspiracy carried out by the Matou family in this Holy Grail War, and he also thought that there was really a master with other despicable means against Matou. A calculation carried out by the Tohsaka family.
But she never expected that her little daughter would bring two people to her door the day after the news came that she had been kidnapped.
As soon as they met, he angrily yelled obscenities at him about not being a father. At a young age, he dared to raise his fists and say threatening words to him.
For a time, Tokiomi Tosaka had three questions in life: "Who am I", "Where am I", and "What am I doing".
"My daughter was kidnapped from the Matou family, right?"
After a while, Tokiomi Tosaka asked this question to his disciple.
"If what you said, sensei, when you used your familiar to notify me is correct, it is like this."
Kotomine Kirei replied expressionlessly.
"Then who can tell me now, what is the situation that appears in front of me?"
Tosaka Tokiomi asked, but Kotomine Kirei could not answer him , because he didn’t know what the situation was.
"Stupid minister, if you ask your daughter directly, you will know what is going on."
Mr. Jin was like a guiding light at this time, giving his own instructions.
Tosaka Tokiomi: "..."
Then he walked forward, stood at the entrance of the entrance a short distance away, and asked the girl: "Sakura, can you tell me Dad, what on earth is going on? The Matou family looked for it yesterday Come on, say you were kidnapped."
"No one kidnapped me, I was rescued. I was thrown in by 'Grandpa' after I got to Matong's house. In a basement full of bugs
Those bugs were crawling on my body, making me feel so painful.
Brother Broly suddenly appeared and rescued me from the worm pile. "
At a young age, Sakura mustered up the courage to tell her father some of her experiences at the Matou family.
Tokiomi Tosaka frowned when he heard this.
It is true that the Matou family has the magic to control insect familiars, but throwing their adopted little daughter, who was the heir of magic, into a basement full of insects is beyond his comprehension
"That guy Matou Zouken, why did he throw you into a basement full of bugs?"
He asked.
"Grandpa said he wanted to modify my magic attributes."
The young Sakura answered honestly.
[Magic attribute, but isn’t the Matou family’s magic attribute water? Could it be...】
Tokiomi Tosaka had some guesses, but he did not express his guesses.
"Then who are they?"
He turned to ask about the situation of the two people next to him.
“This is Brother Broly, the one who rescued me from the Bug House.
This is Sister Fujimura. When we were homeless last night, The people who took us in. ”
Young Sakura introduced.
Tokiomi Tosaka: "..."
Homeless, what a homeless person.
It was so ironic to say this from the little daughter's mouth.
“There may be some misunderstandings here.”
Taking a deep breath, Tohsaka Tokiomi broke the stalemate at the door and said.
Fujimura Taiga was still thinking about bugs and magicians. When he heard Tokiomi Tokiomi's misunderstanding, he immediately got angry.
"There is no misunderstanding. You can see how irresponsible your father is when you see that she doesn't even dare to step through the door of her own home!"
Tokiomi Tosaka again He was scolded, but since the girl in front of him was an ordinary person and had adopted his own little daughter, as an elegant gentleman, he could not easily get angry, so he could only patiently explain that his daughter was adopted to someone else. The situation of being an adopted daughter.
Of course, Tokiomi Tosaka did not talk about the inheritance of magic, but simply talked about the fact that the Tosaka family and the Matou family were family friends.
And in his mind, he had already regarded the fact that his little daughter was abducted by the heroic spirit as a situation where his daughter could not bear the transformation of magical attributes and ran away from the Matou family. The assistant was a boy named Broly next to him.
"Then why don't you let her go back to her real home?"
Broly asked.
“There is no such thing as not being allowed to go home, but this involves inheriting the family business. After the adoption is completed, we will make a clearer division. This is inevitable. When Sakura grows up, if she wants to come back here, there will be no problem."
[Ah, is this how rich families deal with adopted children? ! 】
Fujimura Dahe sighed inwardly. Based on what he just heard, the Togi Tiger had figured out some of the drama about the adoptive children of two wealthy families.
However, Broly did not have such rich mental abilities as she did, and Tohsaka Tokiomi's words only made him feel confused.
He shook his head and asked the man at the entrance: "So, can she go home now?"
"Of course she can."
Far away Ban Tokiomi nodded and said.
Young Sakura's eyes lit up, but she was still a little hesitant.
"The previous separation and alienation were under normal adoption circumstances, but now this situation is no longer normal, then, Sakura, you will still be my child."
Elegant Gentleman to He opened his arms to his little daughter.
"Oh Do-san~"
The young Sakura couldn't help it anymore and ran directly into the house and threw herself into her father's arms.
"Woooooooooo..."
She couldn't help crying, but her father's embrace was still so generous.
Thinking about it, if his father knew what happened to him at the Matou family, he would definitely come to take him home.
That bad grandpa must have deceived her father and not let her father know what she actually experienced at the Matou family.
That’s why her father didn’t come.
As a child, Sakura found an excuse for her father not coming to save her.
With the reason to excuse herself, she quickly forgave the man who was her father, and continued to regard him as an important person on whom she depended, and gradually gained a kind of love from him called A feeling of peace of mind.
【Matou Sakura's happiness value is continuing to rise. 】
“Although I have figured out that this was a misunderstanding, I still want to say that you are still a disrespectful person who adopted your daughter into an adoptive family and was abused without even knowing the situation of the adoptive family. A responsible and terrible father!"
Fujimura Taiga was still squirting. Tohsaka Tokiomi couldn't refute this. He could only say: "It is indeed my negligence, but I thank you for your help. My daughter.”
After thinking for a while, Tokiomi Tosaka took out two high-quality gems from his pocket.
"My Tohsaka family is in the jewelry business."
As he said this, he handed the gems in his hand to the boy and girl in front of him.
"These two gems are not precious things. Please accept this gift of thanks."
Fujimura Dahemoto wanted to curse a few words, but the man in front of him Too much is given.
Broly just glanced at it and lost interest in the blue stone after realizing it was a stone and not food.
[Shining gems are common props used to increase the happiness value of the opposite sex. They are mainly used as gifts. 】
However, the reminder of the Crystal Palace in his mind made Broly change his attitude towards gems.
"Give it to you."
He took the sapphire from Tosaka Tokiomi's hand unceremoniously, turned around and thrust it into the hand of the young Sakura next to him.
"Eh!?"
The young Sakura was a little stunned when a sapphire was stuffed into her. She subconsciously looked up at her father beside her.
"What does this mean?"
Tosaka Tokiomi was a little surprised and asked with a slight frown.
"Do you have any objections to me giving her a stone?"
Broly asked bluntly, making Tohsaka Tokiomi choke.
