Across the heavens, I am the Avatar Sword Master

The Tousaka family's mansion sits on a hill in Miyama-cho, Fuyuki City.

At this time, Toosaka Tokiomi was sitting comfortably in the rocking chair in his room, leisurely shaking the red wine glass in his hand.

As the head of the Tōsaka family, one of the "Three Great Families", he is good at using gem magic. His magic attribute is fire. He is a rare orthodox magician in the Holy Grail War and has always implemented the family motto of "upholding elegance".

She passed all kinds of brutal magic training gracefully and calmly.

If we have to say what makes him better than others, it is probably his complete self-discipline and self-denial.

Because of this, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who has average talent in magic, must put in twenty times the effort if he wants to gain ten times the reward.

Diligence can make up for clumsiness.

Although he is neither a talented magician nor a genius, he has become a very good magician through his own efforts. With the self-awareness of "a high position with heavy responsibilities", he has tasted all the hardships and finally transformed them all into pride and arrogance of self-esteem.

He has regular facial features, deep contours, a dignified appearance and a calm demeanor.

Blue eyes, a beard, and neatly styled curly brown hair.

He likes to wear crimson suits and blue ribbon bow ties, and he will not indulge himself even when he is alone at home.

They can be called "true descendants of aristocrats", which is rare in modern society.

Ever since he had managed to obtain the shed skin of the first snake in ancient times from the Mesopotamian region and used it to summon the strongest heroic spirit, "Hero King" Gilgamesh, Tōsaka Tokiomi no longer thought that he would lose in the Holy Grail War.

But even so, he, who is perfect and thoughtful, still learned the information and movements of various Masters through his grandfather's old friend Kotomine Risei, who was allied with the Holy Church as the supervisor.

He arranged for Kotomine Kirei to become his disciple, staged a drama of parting ways, and secretly commanded Kotomine Kirei to eliminate other Masters.

Even though the strategy to assassinate the Master failed in the end, a lot of intelligence was still gained.

Due to concerns about the dangers of the Holy Grail War, Tohsaka Tokiomi has asked his wife Tohsaka Aoi to take Tohsaka Rin back to her parents' home.

When Tokiomi thought of Tousaka Aoi, a smile called happiness appeared on his face.

As a winner in life, his wife Aoi Toosaka is a perfect woman.

Dignified and cautious, thoughtful and careful, understanding what they do but not interfering at all.

She values ​​loyalty more than love, and does her best to protect her family every day, just like a model of a good wife and mother in ancient times.

Even though she decided to adopt Sakura into the Matou family, cruelly separating mother and daughter, Aoi was able to firmly support her decision.

"I don't know how Sakura is doing in the Tohsaka family now. But the Matou family, whose inheritance is almost cut off, has finally obtained such a talented genius. I believe they will do their best to teach Sakura..."

Thinking back to Sakura's small figure, even Tokiomi couldn't help but sigh.

Being too talented in magic can sometimes be a sin.

His two daughters, one has all element attributes and quintuple composite attributes, and the other has imaginary elements and imaginary attributes. Both have extremely high magical aptitude.

The fact that Aoi gave birth to two daughters with excellent potential to be magicians is something to be proud of in any magic family.

However, there is only one person in the Tousaka family who can inherit the "Magic Seal".

If they can only choose one, Rin is more suitable than Sakura to inherit the family's "Magic Seal".

It's not because compared to Sakura's "imaginary number" attribute, Rin's five elements attribute is more in line with the "transformation" magic characteristic inherited from the Tousaka family.

It is also because compared to the cowardly and timid Sakura, the strong and lively Rin may be the one who goes the furthest on the road of magic.

Ever since he took over the Magic Seal from his father, the previous master and clan leader, Tōsaka Tokiomi, who had set foot on the path of magic, realized how difficult this path of magic was.

Therefore, Toosaka Tokiomi concluded that Sakura, who was cowardly, would not go as far in magic as her sister.

Even if Sakura is left at home as a magician, Sakura, who cannot inherit the "Magic Seal", will not be able to catch up with Rin even if she practices hard.

In the end, it is very likely that the two sisters will become enemies due to jealousy.

Instead of letting the two sisters fight over the inheritance of the family property, it is better to send Sakura out to find a famous magic family so that Sakura can fully display her magical talent.

But where to send Sakura?

The Edelfeldt family of Finland?

Even if he lowered his head and sent Sakura to the Edelfeldt family in Finland, the Edelfeldt family would not train her as an heir, and she would still not be able to inherit the magic circuit, and would still only be an ordinary person who knew a certain amount of magic.

Send to the clock tower to study?

Sakura, who possesses a rare beauty, would surely be happily preserved by those guys by being immersed in formalin as a specimen in the name of protection, right?

So when the Matou family begged for Sakura to be adopted as their daughter, Tōsaka Tokiomi treated it as a blessing from heaven and quickly sent Sakura to them, fearing that the other party would refuse.

In this way, both beloved daughters can inherit first-class magic, no longer be bound by blood ties, and start their own magical lives.

But is it really what you want?

The shaking red wine glass stopped, and confusion appeared in Tōsaka Tokiomi's eyes.

In order to avoid suspicion, Tōsaka Tokiomi never visited the child again after sending Sakura to the Matou family.

Even though he observed from afar through his familiar that Sakura's black hair had turned purple, he still did not suspect anything.

I just thought that the old man from the Matou family was transforming Sakura's physique to make her more suitable for the Matou family's magic.

Just when Tōsaka Tokiomi was feeling a little melancholy, golden particles appeared in the house, dispelling the surrounding darkness and transforming into a golden figure.

Toosaka Tokiomi quickly put the red wine in his hand on the table, stood up with trepidation, and bowed respectfully to Archer.

"King of kings, welcome back."

Judging from the Master's attitude towards his servants, Tōsaka Tokitoki's performance can be considered extremely humble.

Facing the most ancient king in history, Tōsaka Tokitoki respects him from the bottom of his heart.

Willingly treat the heroic spirits you summoned with utmost courtesy.

After all, it has always been Tohsaka Tokiomi's philosophy that noble things must be treated with respect.

Even if he had control over the Command Seals, he could not reverse the concepts of nobility and inferiority.

He did not believe at all that "kings, princes, generals, and ministers are all of different species", but instead believed that "rulers are rulers, ministers are ministers, fathers are fathers, sons are sons, the old and the young are respected and the inferiors are humble" was the truth.

Archer was not surprised by Tousaka Tokiomi's respect. Instead, he raised the corner of his mouth into a faint smile and stared at Tousaka Tokiomi with interest.

"You seem a little troubled today. Tell me, what made you, a magician who 'upholds elegance', lose your usual calmness?"

Toosaka Tokiomi was slightly startled, but then he regained his composure.

He didn't expect Archer to notice his change in mood, let alone ask about it.

This noble king usually seems indifferent to the affairs of mortals, but today he showed rare concern.

Tokiomi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

He didn't want to show weakness in front of the Hero King, but he didn't want to lie to this noble being.

Finally, he decided to be honest: "Thank you for your concern, my king. Indeed, I am a little troubled today. I was thinking about my daughter Ying and wondered if my decision was right."

When Archer heard Tokiomi's answer, a hint of interest flashed in his golden eyes.

He sat down on the sofa gracefully and motioned Tokiomi to sit down as well.

"Oh? Your little daughter who was sent to the Matou family?"

Tokiomi hesitated for a moment, but decided to confide his troubles to the king: "Yes, I wonder if sending Sakura to the Matou family was the right decision. Although this was done so that both daughters could inherit first-class magic, I haven't seen Sakura for a long time, and I'm worried that she is not living well in the Matou family..."

Archer chuckled. "You foolish mortal, are you starting to worry now? Giving your own blood to others is an offense to the king."

Tokiomi lowered his head: "I am sorry, my king. But at the time I thought it was the best choice..."

"The best choice? Humph, you mortals always use self-righteous excuses to cover up your cowardice."

Archer said coldly, "But since you have made your choice, stick to it. A king will never regret his decision."

Tokiomi remained silent, he knew that what Archer said made sense.

As the patriarch of a magician family, he must stick to his decision, even if he is full of doubts...

"But you won't have to worry about your child soon! After all, you have decided to leave the world and go to the root, so you are no longer qualified to worry about the affairs of this world."

A golden ripple appeared behind Archer, who took it out and threw it on the table.

The block that emitted a dark halo like a magic crystal rolled twice on the table and attracted Tōsaka Tokiomi's attention.

Tōsaka Tokiomi's face changed drastically, revealing an expression of disbelief: "This is..."

“Cheer! Jump for joy! Congratulations! Tokiomi, your family’s boring long-cherished wish is about to come true!”

Archer stared at the object in front of him. As a magus of the Tohsaka family, he could naturally recognize what it was.

Little Holy Grail!

Archer actually brought back the small Holy Grail made by the Einzbern family.

In other words, Saber was defeated by Archer, otherwise Archer would never have been able to obtain this thing.

Toosaka Tokiomi didn't expect that Archer would bring back such an important thing just by going out for a stroll.

As an Archer, Gilgamesh possesses the special ability of A-ranked independent action.

Not only can he maintain his mobility without relying on the magic power provided by the Master, he can also fight and use Noble Phantasms without relying on the Master's support.

Furthermore, as the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh is extremely arrogant, and even now he has not connected the magic circuit with Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Therefore, Tousaka Tokitoki had no idea where his servants were and what they were doing.

"Even though this world is filled with irredeemable ugliness, I have still found treasures worthy of adding to my collection. As a reward for summoning me to this world, I have decided to give you the Holy Grail."

Archer suppressed the smile on his face and stared at Tokiomi with eyes full of majesty.

"Now that we have the Lesser Holy Grail in our hands, we can decide where the Holy Grail will descend. Tokiomi, where do you think it would be best to do such a trivial matter as welcoming the Holy Grail's descent?"

Tōsaka Tokiomi pondered for a moment and said, "King, there are four places with enough spiritual power to be used as places to summon the Holy Grail."

"The first is Mount Enzo, which has a large natural cavity. There is a Great Holy Grail based on Yustisa. It is a secret altar known only to the three great families. It is also the best location for spiritual veins in Fuyuki City."

"The second place is here, which is now the Tousaka Residence. Because the spiritual power of the spiritual veins contained in Mount Enzo is too strong, it is too dangerous to be used as a place to train the next generation of magicians, so the Tousaka family chose this place as their base. Although this place is slightly lacking in the power of the Holy Grail, the spiritual power is enough to support the descent of the Holy Grail."

"The third spiritual vein was given to the Matou family who moved here, but the spiritual power there was not compatible with the attributes of the Matou family, so the Matou residence was built somewhere else, and the original spiritual vein was occupied by the Holy Church that intervened later. That is the hill where the Fuyuki Church is now located. Although it is far away from Enzoyama, located on the outskirts of Shinto on the other side of the river bank, its spiritual level is no less than the first and second."

"The fourth spiritual vein did not exist in this land before. It is the source of the distorted magic power that flowed out of the three spiritual veins after being processed by magic. It accumulated and gathered at one point over the past hundred years. It is the later developed spiritual land. Now, it is the center of the new residential area, and the new citizen hall is built there."

"In summary, Ryudo Temple's spiritual vein is the best, followed by the Tousaka Residence's spiritual vein, then the church's spiritual vein, and Shinto's spiritual vein is the worst."

"King, I recommend that we hold the Holy Grail Summoning Ceremony here. Now that our Tohsaka family has been operating and repairing it for hundreds of years, as long as the barrier is deployed, it will become a magic fortress. Even if the opponent's servant wants to force his way in, it won't be that easy."

Tōsaka Tokiomi lowered his head and expressed his thoughts respectfully.

But what he was greeted with was the King of Heroes' sneer and ridicule.

"Hehe, Tousaka Toki, I thought you had understood my true nature after spending these few days with me, but I didn't expect you to still be so clueless."

Archer stood up with a sneer, and he directly rejected Tōsaka Tokiomi's suggestion.

"Whether it's wine or weapons, I will only choose the best. Since Yuanzang Mountain has the best spiritual vein, I will choose it as the place where the Holy Grail descends."

"But……"

Tōsaka Tokiomi, who was cautious by nature, wanted to say something but was interrupted by Archer again.

"Tōsaka Tokiomi, watch your words! Do you want me to hide here like a turtle?! Or do you think I will lose?!!"

Looking at the King of Heroes who had entered a state of rage, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not dare to give any more advice and could only lower his head once again.

Moody moods are the nature of a king. Even Tōsaka Tokiomi cannot know what is in the mind of the hero king he summoned.

It was like he had no idea why the King of Heroes liked to take walks around.

"Let's go, Tokiomi. Let's go to Mount Enzo. I will take care of everything there."
