I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Tokiomi Tosaka, a man whose lifelong pursuit is to pursue the Holy Grail and reach the "root", is a pure magician. Ironically, he did touch the "Holy Grail", but this "Holy Grail" was no longer the Holy Grail he knew, and it was filled with a curse.

Angra Mainyu, all the evil in this world, the curse manifested through the "Holy Grail" system, a malignant collection, a pollutant that is ten times and a hundred times more terrifying than the curse of "White Winged Lord", even a little bit is enough to destroy mankind. Spirit and life.

I don’t know whether it’s luck or bad luck. When Tokiomi touched him, the curse was gradually losing its effectiveness. It did not take away his spirit and life on the spot. However, this did not mean that the curse was ineffective. It just changed the death penalty to cut the knot with a sharp knife. Cutting flesh with a dull knife is just a slow death.

In the following time, Tokiomi's body weakened day by day, like a terminally ill patient. His hands and feet are weak, his vision is blurred, and the functions of various organs are declining. He has to rely on the technological equipment he despises most to maintain his life.

What's even sadder is that he is losing his magic circuits and his ability as a magician. In the end, he couldn't even perform the most basic fireball magic, as if the magic he had dedicated his life to was just a joke.

In March 1999, the tail of winter finally faded away, symbolizing the approach of new life. Tokiomi Tosaka, who had just entered the cold winter of his life, could never usher in a new life. His life, which had been damaged by a vicious curse, finally came to an end.

"Almost, today."

Tokiomi, who had been bedridden for half a month, felt the long-lost vitality in his body and knew that he didn't have much time left. This final outpouring of power is a phenomenon called flashback, the final outburst of life like a candle in the wind.

Tokiomi struggled to sit up from the hospital bed. This action alarmed his wife Tosaka Aoi, who had always been by his side and never left him without any regrets.

"Honey, what are you-" Aoi quickly stepped forward to help.

What a good wife.

Feeling his wife's gentle movements, Tokiomi repeated the sigh in his heart countless times.

The hands that had regained some strength were placed on his wife's hands, and his scattered pupils showed signs of focusing again: "Call Rin here for me. I have something to say to you. I don't have much time."

"Honey"

After hearing Tokiomi's words, Tohsaka Aoi felt that the sky was falling even though she was mentally prepared.

"I'm sorry, Aoi."

Tokiomi gently held his wife's hand, and the warm liquid dripped down, which was Aoi's tears.

"Go ahead."

"Yeah." "Call Sakura here, I also have something to say to her." Tokiomi added when his wife opened the door.

Aoi nodded and hurried away with steps that were inconsistent with her elegant demeanor.

◇◇◇

"dad!"

Rin, who had just entered the teenage stage, rushed to Tokiomi's bedside and held her father's arm tightly with both hands.

"Rin, don't cry. We in the Tohsaka family should remain calm and elegant at all times." Tokiomi put his free hand on his daughter's head and rubbed it gently.

"I know, Dad." Rin sniffed and reached out to wipe her tears, but she couldn't wipe them away.

"Good boy." Tokiomi's face showed a hint of relief, "After my father dies, you will inherit the Tosaka family, you will protect my mother, and you will realize the unfinished dreams of me and my ancestors. Although it is early It’s a little slow, but dad believes you can do it.”

Rin has been taught everything that needs to be taught, and the magic seal has been gradually transplanted to her body in the past few years. The next road can only be walked by herself.

"I can do it, I will definitely do it." Rin said firmly, she wanted to be as good as her father.

"Then dad can rest assured. If possible, dad really wants to see you grow up and become an excellent magician, see you start a family, and see you bring new members to the Tohsaka family. It's a pity. , Dad has no time. So, Aoi, please watch over Rin, watch over Sakura, and watch our children grow up for me."

Tokiomi seemed a little tired and his voice was much lower. He tried hard to raise his increasingly heavy eyelids and looked at his wife who didn't know when she would return to the window.

"I will, I will." Aoi hugged her daughter, tears like broken pearls, "I will take good care of our children and our home."

"That would be great-"

His pupils, which finally regained focus, dilated again. In a daze, Tokiomi seemed to hear the sound of death approaching, but he couldn't sleep just yet. There were still people he wanted to see and things he wanted to say.

"dad--"

The call that he should refuse but didn't want to refuse rang in his ears, and in a daze he saw a familiar wisp of purple.

"Sakura, you're here." Tokiomi's lips moved, and for the first time he faced frankly a girl who was connected to him by blood and did not belong to this family.

"Dad, you will get better."

The crying girl kept writing runes in the air.

URUZ, JERA, EIHWAZ, ANSUZ, WUNJO

Sakura wrote all the runes she could think of related to healing and life, but she could not delay the arrival of death.

"Don't waste your magic power." Tokiomi shook his head at his little daughter, "Sakura, let me take a good look at you, even though I may not be qualified anymore."

"No, no, dad is dad." Sakura denied, putting her face in front of Tokiomi's eyes.

"It's so nice to hear you call me that. I will come back to see my mother and sister more often in the future."

Many people may not believe it, but Tokiomi Tosaka loved his children, but his love was too reserved and he didn't know how to express it, so he seemed a little cold. At the last moment of his life, he put down his reserve and let go He showed the image of a strict father and said everything on his mind.

"I will definitely do it, and I will come back to see Dad. So, Dad, you must get well soon."

Sakura turned her head and looked at Kariya standing outside the door with pleading eyes.

"Uncle, call Sister Chengzi quickly, she will definitely be able to do something."

Kariya sighed and did not answer, or that was the answer.

"Uncle!" Sakura urged.

"It's useless, Sakura. I know my own body well."

Tokiomi squeezed out the last bit of strength and put his hand on Sakura's head. This was the first and last time he would do this to his little daughter.

Also the first and last time are the requests for "love rivals" and "traitors".

"Kariya, finally, can I ask you something?"

"You said." The person he had always disliked and even hated fell into such a situation, but there was no joy in Yan Ye's heart, only sadness and emptiness.

"Sakura, I'm leaving it to you—"

"You don't need to tell me."

"——Also, help me take care of Aoi and Rin!" Rin is still young, and Aoi is not strong enough to support the family. The only person Tokiomi can think of entrusting him to is Kariya, who has defeated him. At least his feelings for Sakura, Rin, and Aoi are true. Compared with family members, if a man's self-esteem is lost, just lose it.

Yan Ye was stunned for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything more. He just continued to repeat: "You don't need to say anything."

"Then I can rest assured, Aoi."

"I am here."

".cold."

"dad."

".cherry."

"dad."

After calling his family for the last time, the man who had been living for four years calmly closed his eyes and dropped his hands.

Tokiomi Tosaka died peacefully.

PS: The king of blame in this world is gone. From now on, you can take the blame yourself.
