Chapter 307 Funeral
"—I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand up on the earth."

The funeral service took place quietly and quietly in the cold drizzle.

The mourner is a young girl.

The person who was supposed to be the mourner was the girl's mother, the widow Aoi Tosaka, but the girl insisted on being the mourner on the grounds that she promised her father to inherit the family business and protect her mother. The mother who understood her daughter's feelings could only agree.

The girl didn't show her sadness and anxiety on her face.She has a serious expression on her face, carrying out the work she has been given.Everyone praised her bravery and strength, no one pity her, feel sorry for her.

That's the way it was with the family that held the funeral.The previous head of the family took this as a rule, and also used this method to educate the current successor.Those who were invited to the condolence service were all aware of this.

“And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes——I, and not another. How my heart years within me…Amen.”

The coffin was dedicated to the earth in this way. After the prayer was over, the priest who performed the ceremony and the attendees began to leave one by one. Finally, in the silent drizzle, only the girl who was the head of mourning and people who were close to the girl were left.

"Thanks for your hard work, Rin. As the first job of the new head of the family, you have performed very well. Your father will definitely be proud of you." Aoi hugged her daughter and said softly.

Rin nodded silently and didn't speak, as if all of this was taken for granted. The once innocent girl seemed to have grown a lot overnight, but the price of this growth was heartbreaking.

"Sister." Younger sister Sakura took Rin's hand, her red eyes were full of worry.

Rin shook his head, and the corners of his tight eyes revealed a hint of tenderness, indicating that his sister didn't need to worry.But the more this happened, the more worried Sakura became. This kind of Rin is very similar to the brave Shinji.

Just when Sakura didn't know what to say, a young man in a black suit and a girl dressed in neutral clothes walked into the cold cemetery in the drizzle of early spring.

The young man glanced at the two girls holding hands, then at the middle-aged and young man standing aside, and finally walked up to the widow wearing a black kimono, and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me?" Is this the funeral of Mr. Tohsaka Tokiomi?"

Aoi nodded: "Yes, you are—"

Wei Bo's voice was inexplicably low: "I'm Weber Velvet, who belongs to the clock tower. This time, I'm here to deal with the Tohsaka family's spiritual veins and patent inheritance. Before that, please allow me to offer my condolences."

"Mr. Velvet, please follow me." It was not Aoi who spoke, but Rin.

"Who is this?"

Aoi explained with a puzzled face on Waver's face.

"This is the little girl Rin, the new head of the Tohsaka family."

There was a look of surprise on Weber's face, and the girl behind him also had the same expression.The two didn't say much, and followed Rin to pay their respects in front of Tokiomi's grave.

In terms of etiquette, girls are undoubtedly more standard, but the emotions poured into their actions are far less profound than Weber's.

The delicate Aoi noticed this, and asked after the condolences: "Mr. Velvet is old with the deceased husband?"

"That's right, although we haven't had any direct communication." Weber sighed, "Madam may not know that Mr. Tokiomi and I are also participants in the Holy Grail War."

Aoi and Rin are one of the three imperial families who organized the Holy Grail ceremony, and Lorelia is the lord of the law department who manages magicians, and they are both insiders, so Weber did not hide it and told the truth.

"Mr. Tokiomi is an excellent magician and also an excellent master. I originally planned to take this opportunity to learn from him, but I didn't expect to be a step late."

There is a bit of comfort in asking for advice and learning, but there is no falsehood in coming a step late.After getting off the plane, Webb and Lorelia headed straight to Tohsaka's house, but the servant who stayed behind to watch the house told him that the owner had passed away and that the funeral ceremony would be held today, so he hurried to the cemetery again.

"Can you please tell me the details of the Holy Grail War when you have time? Father, he has been unwilling to tell me."

Weber's words caught Rin's attention. She has always been very concerned about the Holy Grail War that happened four years ago, thinking that it was the culprit that took her father's life.It's just that Tokiomi was still reluctant to mention the details of this Holy Grail War, and asked Kariya secretly, but Kariya didn't say anything.Now that another Holy Grail War participant finally appeared in front of her, how could Rin give up.

Weber hesitated, then nodded.Although he had a grievance with Tokiomi, to be precise, Tokiomi's servant Gilgamesh, but the deceased was already dead, and Weber would not involve this grievance with Tokiomi's family.

This action made Kariya, who was watching, look complicated. Out of love for Rin, he didn't want her to get involved in the Holy Grail War too early, but he could control himself, but he couldn't control that strong girl after all.

It seems that we should find an opportunity to talk to Aoi and ask Shinji for his opinion.

Thinking of his nephew, Kariya frowned unconsciously.

What's the matter with this kid recently? Why hasn't there been any news for such a long time in London?By the way, Weber Velvet, this name is a little familiar, it seems that he has been to the house before, so let's find a chance to ask.

"Uncle, Uncle." Sakura's call interrupted Kariya's thoughts, "Mom and sister invited Mr. Velvet to visit us at home, should we go together?"

Kariya rubbed Sakura's hair and said, "You go, I won't go, spend more time with your mother and sister. And find a chance to tell Mr. Velvet that I want to visit them and ask him when do you have time."

"Understood." Sakura obediently agreed, and left with her mother, sister, and the girl who looked at her strangely.

Watching the group leave the cemetery, Kariya walked up to Tokiomi's tombstone again, and sat down on the ground regardless of the rain-soaked ground.

"I used to hate you, hate you, think you are not worthy of her, think you are not a good father, a good husband. But I didn't realize until you died that this is just my wishful thinking. No matter how much I don't want to Even admitting it can't change the fact that you are better than me."

"Career, family, being a person, doing things, I have nothing to compare with you. Even the only thing I think is better than you, you are actually no worse than me."

"In the past, I was not reconciled—I was not reconciled to losing to you, and I was not reconciled to you taking away my most important person, even though I knew it was much better for her to follow you than follow me."

"Right now, I'm still not reconciled. I finally had a chance to catch up with you, but you just left like this, and didn't even give me a real chance to beat you."

"Then why have I worked so hard for so long? Isn't it like saying that I've been a loser all my life? I don't allow you to do this. Do you hear me, Tosaka Tokiomi!"

"Come out, don't pretend to be asleep, come out, come out and fight me, come out!"

"Didn't you say that I am irresponsible, a traitor who is worse than a dog? Now this traitor is laughing at you, but you can't say anything. Isn't it worse than me?"

"Tohsaka Tokiomi, talk, talk, talk..."

The sound became softer and softer, and was finally drowned out by the sound of wind and rain.

PS: There is a dick popping on the grave, maybe Timomi will wake up?
