"It seems that Lin Hao and Caster won't be back for the time being."
Night had fallen, and the battle that took place a few hours ago was finally covered up in the name of "gas pipeline explosion." None of the participating parties made any more moves, seeming to be waiting for others to take action first.
Looking at his wife who was not thinking about her food at the dinner table, Emiya Kiritsugu had some difficulty in forming words of relief.
"After all, it was Caster and Kenneth who cooperated several times before. Even if her Master is taken away, she will not hurt her rashly."
"But she didn't bring a wheelchair, what will she do in her daily life? And I heard that Kenneth's fiancée is very cruel, will it make things difficult for her?" Irisviel was obviously not comforted, but had more questions.
Ah, really, she wasn't worried at all if Ilia was left in a castle in Germany. On the contrary, Lin Hao was treated as another daughter.
"Don't worry, Caster will take care of her." Kiritsugu finally chose to say.
"Illya - with Sera and Legelette following her, she can know the status at any time, so there is nothing to worry about," Irisviel seemed to be aware of Kiritsugu's thoughts and replied: "But Caster, that child
How can you take care of others when you still need to take care of yourself?”
Even though the Saint of Winter has never married, and her image is relatively young at this time, she can't be called "that child". Could it be that just because she's married, Ellie considers herself to be a generation older?
You know, based on her true age, she is just...
No, this question cannot be thought of this way. When calculating the age of the Einzbern's artificial man, the age when the Winter Saint was sacrificed must be added... As expected, he is still qualified to be called a child.
"Because we were misled by the Hundred Faces, we might fight both sides at the same time, so we thought Caster was going to stop Kenneth and his party and left temporarily?" Kiritsugu finally came up with a suitable explanation.
"Hey, I don't know if I can sleep if I change the place." Irisviel nodded in approval, and then started to worry about other problems.
That girl is very generous, and she hasn't lived in either the castle or the current mansion for a few days, right?
Kiritsugu suddenly realized that he shouldn't have answered the call at all...
"Eat quickly, leave Ellie to me," he turned to Saber 1i1y, who had been paying attention to Irisviel's movements without eating. "If there is a battle later, can you go on the show hungry?"
"Ah, okay..." The white-clothed Saber looked at Kuu Maiya, who had finished eating and put down the tableware, and the black-clothed Saber, who was still fighting junk food, and hesitantly picked up the chopsticks.
58:35:12
Tokiomi Tokiomi's father, Tokito Tokiomi, was severely injured when he participated in the Third Holy Grail War. Like his wife from Finland, he died when Tokiomi Tokiomi was still a minor.
Before he died, he called Tokiomi to his bedside and asked him if he was willing to inherit the Tohsaka family business. After all, his parents died because of the Holy Grail War, and he had the right to refuse this heavy responsibility.
And as a magician, Tokiomi's talent is not outstanding. If he wants to keep the position of Fuyuki City's Spirit Vein Manager from the greedy guys in the Clock Tower, or even participate in the next Holy Grail War, he must pay dozens of dollars for it.
Even a hundred times the effort.
——Of course I do.
The boy Tokiomi answered without any hesitation.
——Then let’s repeat the Tosaka family’s family motto.
Tohsaka Miuto's consciousness has begun to blur, but he is still satisfied with his son's momentum.
You must always uphold elegance. This is not to reflect your identity and temperament, but as a user of gem magic, you must let the gem recognize its "similar" qualities. Just like users of water magic are often gentle, and users of fire magic are easy to
He was so irritable that he could no longer distinguish who was influencing whom.
--want……
Tohsaka Minato mustered up the last of his energy to hear his son's words clearly.
——Be dazzling! Be eye-catching!
The fourth generation head of the Tohsaka family, manager of the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City, and participant in the Third Holy Grail War, Mr. Tosaka Miuto, failed to maintain that elegance in the last moments of his life:
——Nonsense!
————
"If it's that kind of family motto, maybe I will give you more support."
"Then the fateful meeting between the knight and the king would not have happened - Gil, give me some more amethysts."
"Teacher Tokiomi——" "Teacher, eh?!"
After sensing that Tokiomi Tohsaka had returned to the mansion, Kotomine Kirei and Uyu Ryunosuke, who had been pretending to stay in the underground workshop, came out to greet him, and then stayed together.
Who is this beautiful little boy?
His appearance looks like a shorter version of Tohsaka Rin, but his eyebrows are much sharper. He is wearing a children's red suit top and trousers, a pair of sneakers, and a strange blue bow on his collar.
.
"Who are you?" Kirei frowned. Although he asked the little boy, he looked at Gilgamesh aside.
If I heard it right, he seemed to call the King of Heroes "Gil"? Could it be that Gilgamesh summoned that mythical friend? But with his modern appearance, it is impossible for him to be Enkidu.
"Wow, could it be that Tokiomi-sensei is outside and--" Ryunosuke Ubui didn't know what he thought of, and he clicked his tongue in surprise.
"Hmph, my stupid disciples," the little boy raised his head: "Don't you recognize me as my master? The three guardians of Fuyuki, and the 'Gem Knight Tosaka' who is as famous as the 'Dark Swordsman Kallia'
'!"
"..." Kirei decided to give up the communication. Gilgamesh must have done something because he was dissatisfied with the teacher.
"Oh! I have admired the name for a long time. It turns out that you have such a great identity, teacher," Ryunosuke said with great interest: "Then, could the third guardian be Yuan, no, Zenjo Aoi?"
"How can you call the 'empress' by her name?" Gem Knight Tosaka glared at Ryunosuke: "Even if I win the competition with Kalia, and she has already married me and abdicated the throne, it won't work.
!”
"..." Now even Ryunosuke was shocked.
Ah, indeed, the atmosphere in the Zenjo family where women dominate everything... But this is probably a title that Tokiomi-sensei and Matou Kariya gave to their master without authorization, Kotomine Kirei thought as he stepped away from the incident.
"Hahaha!" Gilgamesh threw a lot of amethysts from the king's treasure house with a wave of his hand: "Is it enough? Tosaka?"
"Oh, thanks a lot, Jill."
Kirei could feel Tosa—no, the young teacher Tokiomi poured magic power into those amethysts, and then those crystals flew up on their own and embedded themselves in various corners of the hall as decorations.
Taking this as an opportunity to look carefully at the hall, Kirei found that various gems had been inlaid into the walls and furniture. Although the whole thing became shiny, it did not make people feel out of place, as if it was supposed to be there.
There is a gemstone as decoration.
Moreover, these gems actually used the internal magic connections as patterns to form a giant defensive and counterattack array in the hall.
"It is both fashionable and practical." The young Tokiomi concluded: "This kind of palace is in line with the noble temperament of the most ancient king."
So even though he has become smaller and his mind has regressed, Tokiomi-sensei still knows very well who should be pleased with and not provoked, but calling him "Gir" directly - Kirei looked at the back of the boy's right hand, the golden toy gifted by the Ancient King.
The command spell has been used.
Using a command spell to ask for permission to call someone by their first name? It's really the best way imaginable.
"Then, Amber Knight and Obsidian Knight, follow me to open the hidden area of the base. Gil, you can come too." The young Tokiomi turned and walked towards the corner of the hall.
Amber? Obsidian? Teacher, do you classify it by color?
Kirei and Ryunosuke looked at each other and then followed.
"Although I admire your tactics very much," Gilgamesh quietly came up behind the two of them and said in a cold voice that could not be heard by the young Tokiomi: "But if you attack me again without reporting,
What kind of plan is Wang Shuang involved in—heh."
"This time Tokiomi succeeded in pleasing me after drinking the rejuvenating medicine. There will be no next time." The Ancient King passed the two of them and caught up with Tokiomi Tosaka.
"By the way, Gil, how long will the effect of your bottle of medicine last?" Kirei, who was sweating coldly, heard the unconscious teacher Tokiomi ask from the front.
"At least a week, but I can cancel it at any time." The Ancient King responded with a lazy attitude, but he had discovered something interesting.
"No, it's not necessary. The plan I made in the future is simply a mess. A blind man rides a blind horse and walks into a deep pool in the middle of the night." The young Tokiomi stopped in front of a picture of a grassland: "Don't cancel it."
"Oh? What's your plan, Tosaka?" Gilgamesh asked with slight interest.
"I will explain it to you in detail after confirming my trump card." The young Tokiomi took out an emerald from his pocket and pointed it at the portrait: "'Emerald symbolizes insight.'"
Emeralds? After several years of getting along with each other, it became clear that Tokiomi only liked to use rubies and diamonds when using gem magic. However, it was obvious that Tokiomi, who was in his teenage years and had also regressed mentally, had not yet formed that habit.
Boom boom boom——The portrait sunk inward, revealing a downward staircase. Kirei judged that the location where the staircase led was not anywhere in the underground workshop, or in other words, it should be the actual place below.
"Ruby symbolizes vitality, while diamonds symbolize elegance," the young Tokiomi walked down the stairs first: "My future self obviously gave up on my plan because of my father's deathbed refutation, but I did not destroy this secret base."
Following him, Kirei and Ryuunosuke quickly arrived at an underground workshop that clearly showed immature construction techniques. There were sparkling diamonds of various colors everywhere.
"Gems, show your edge -" Following the young Tokiomi's spell, the broken diamonds flew up and combined with each other, eventually forming a dazzling armor made of gems on his body.
"Sometimes, even my own eyes are dazzled by them," Tosaka said.
