The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

He raised his arm, and a small ball of light formed by magic power appeared at his fingertips.

Under Tatsumi's control, the empty shell necklace hidden under Sakura's clothes slowly floated out from the gap in the clothes, and then under the condensation of light spots, a blue gem slowly condensed out.

"Well, it's over now..."

"Tousaka Tokiomi, Tousaka Aoi, you two should think about how to tell your daughter..."

Tatsumi nodded to himself, then straightened up and prepared to leave.

Seeing Tatsumi turning around and leaving, Tokiomi took the initiative to speak up and try to keep him.

"King, please stay for a moment..."

Tatsumi stopped and turned around, frowning slightly.

"Is there anything else? Tōsaka Tokiomi..."

“That... is about the Holy Grail War..." Tokiomi hesitated, but soon put aside his hesitation and made his own decision.

"If you don't mind, I am willing to provide you with magic power and become your new master..."

Seeing Tokiomi's statement, Tatsumi laughed with interest.

“Hehe, are you planning on doing that? Tokiomi? Aren’t you planning on summoning the ‘King of Heroes’?”

Tatsumi looked at Tohsaka Tokiomi with a hint of teasing in his eyes. He simply omitted the last name "Tohsaka" and called him Tokiomi.

In Japan, calling someone by their first name represents a change in the relationship between two people.

Whether it is closeness or disgust.

How could Tatsumi not know what was hidden deep inside Tokiomi's heart?

How dare he plot against him? How audacious!

But then again, he should get used to it. Dragons can easily attract all kinds of things, and since all the magicians here are like this, it's not too strange that this situation would develop into something like this.

Tatsumi looked at Tōsaka Tokiomi like this, and Tōsaka Tokiomi was oppressed by the power and was too afraid to look up.

I didn't expect that he even knew about the "King of Heroes"!!

You have to know that this matter is a top secret in "Tousaka"! No one knows what kind of holy relics he wants to obtain, and what kind of heroic spirit he will summon!

Now, he is still looking for clues related to the king's holy relic! He has only tracked down the approximate location of the holy relic!

However, such a top-secret information was easily known by the other party.

Tokiomi cursed himself in his heart for being stupid. How could he have forgotten the other party's powerful might and actually wanted to use such a being?

He wanted to use the heroic spirit in front of him to fulfill his long-cherished wish. Because in his opinion, the Adventers were indeed powerful, otherwise the Holy Grail system would not have summoned the Judges, who were also special occupations.

Yes.

It was because Tatsumi was too strong, so strong that Tokiomi didn't know how to deal with him, so he couldn't help but covet him.

Even though he had never witnessed Tatsumi's fighting ability, Tokiomi still made such a judgment in his heart.

If he had such a Heroic Spirit, perhaps he would be able to win the Holy Grail War more easily.

However, there is nothing wrong with seeking power, and there is nothing wrong with wanting a better partner.

However, if Tatsumi knew what he was thinking, would he be able to continue living?

You must know that his wish is to reach the root, and to achieve this condition, he needs to sacrifice the souls of seven heroes...

At first, he wanted to summon the "Hero King" and win the Holy Grail War with his great power, and then let him commit suicide so that he could reach the root with the power of the Holy Grail...

If the conditions were right, he would have every reason to use the Command Spell.

To put it bluntly, Tokiomi believed that the so-called servants were just tools, not partners who could fight side by side.

Even if you have respect for the heroes, you won't have any illusions about heroic idols.

When he said that just now, his train of thought didn't come to his senses.

Since you have ulterior motives, there is no need to talk about cooperation.

Thinking of this, Tokiomi was terrified and hurriedly explained: "No, King! I just hope to take over the position of Master temporarily, and I don't have any intention of overstepping the boundaries..."

"The Tousakas own a large tract of land in Fuyuki, and their financial resources are far beyond what an ordinary family can match!"

"Perhaps the resources of Tousaka are insignificant in your eyes, but as a father, please allow me to entertain the benefactor who saved my daughter..."

Tatsumi smiled.

There was a coldness in his eyes, but he praised: "Haha, you are quite good at adapting to circumstances, Tokiomi..."

"I... don't deserve this..." A few drops of cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and he immediately asked, "What do you think?"

Tatsumi didn't think too much about it, but smiled and agreed: "Okay, since you want to be a good host, I will fulfill your wish..."

“Yes, thank you for your understanding…” Tokiomi said excitedly with a delighted expression.

He immediately raised his head, his expression serious, and he said solemnly: "Your body is entrusted to me, and my fate is entrusted to your sword. If you are willing to follow the entrustment of the Holy Grail and obey this principle and this intention——"

Tatsumi replied: "I swear here that your offering will become my flesh and blood... my new master, Tōsaka Tokiomi..."

"Hmph, please give me more guidance in the coming year..."

--------

Although it was slightly different from the original plan, Toosaka didn't gain much this time.

At least for Tokiomi, he thought he had made a killing.

After seeing Tatsumi's ability panel, he secretly sighed at how correct his choice was, but at the same time he felt sorry that the contract between the two parties was only for a short year.

Tokiomi was not particularly clear about what Tatsumi thought about the Holy Grail War.

After concluding the conversation that would determine Sakura's future, Tatsumi used a little trickery and space teleportation to send Tokiomi's family and his disciple Kotomine Kirei back to the "Tosaka Residence" in Miyama Town.

After experiencing the miraculous space teleportation, Tokiomi was astonished on the spot. He flattered the elegant nobles one after another, and it was obvious that he had a lot of thoughts about teleportation magic.

Tatsumi knew Tokiomi's thoughts better than anyone else, and he was too lazy to point out the little thoughts in his mind.

After that, the task of negotiating with 『Matou』 was handed over to Tokiomi.

As for sending Sakura to "Edelfeld", it was also left to Tokiomi's own judgment.

Tatsumi will not interfere too much in the private affairs of the Tohsaka family, and the issuance of the "Gift" is under consideration.

At present, apart from the change of a Master, there is no major change in Tatsumi's daily life. The only difference is that he changed from "Matou" to "Tousaka", nothing else.

However, for Matou Tsuruno, Tatsumi's departure made him feel extremely frightened. Fearing revenge from Zouken, he immediately booked a flight to go abroad as soon as possible.

However, as the matters at hand had not been completed, He Ye could not leave here early.

The next morning, after finishing the negotiation with the head of the Tohsaka family, Tsuruno lay on the sofa and let out a faint sigh.

Because of Matou's abuse of his heir, Toosaka demanded a large amount of compensation from Matou, forcing him to be distracted to deal with this matter.

If it weren't for this, he would have left that afternoon.

The main responsibility for the incident must be related to Matou Zouken, but since Zouken's whereabouts are unknown and Sakura has not suffered any substantial torture, Tokiomi can't do anything to Tsuruno who is powerless, so the two can only fight for a while.

Tsuruno rejected many of Tokiomi's unreasonable requests.

If it wasn't for the need to leave Fuyuki as quickly as possible, Tsuruno, the apparent head of the family, would definitely defend Matou's sovereignty and drag out the negotiations for a longer time.

However, even so, Matou still paid a lot, and it can be said that he suffered a great loss and paid for what Zōken did.

'Tosaka' received a large amount of compensation from 'Matou', and Tokiomi should be happy. But when he thought of Sakura's situation, all he could feel was sadness.

He had to find a good family for Sakura before the Holy Grail War began.

However, after what happened this time, sending Sakura away again would be too cruel for anyone.

He had to contact the Edelfeldt family as soon as possible and ask professional magicians to investigate the relevant information to ensure that his child would not be subjected to inhuman abuse after being adopted.

It might take some time to investigate this matter. Although this option was the original plan, because of the Matou incident, Tokiomi's arrangements were all disrupted, causing him to be a little paranoid.

In addition, there is also the tracking of the whereabouts of Zouken Matou.

At the beginning, Tokiomi wanted to ask Tatsumi to help track him down. After all, using that treasure that could know everything, it would be easy to find out where Zōken was hiding.

However, Tatsumi responded to Tokiomi's plea like this.

"This is your own business, Tokiomi..."

"Matou Zouken is still of some use to me. If he must die, I would rather he die in the Holy Grail War..."

Yes, Matou will still be needed in the Holy Grail War one year from now.

Rather than forcing ignorant people into the Holy Grail War, it would be better to let experienced people participate.

Besides, since he is going to die anyway, he might as well die on the battlefield.

Tatsumi already has some ideas about this Holy Grail War. In addition to developing the "game field", he is also thinking about how to make this Holy Grail War more grand.

He will definitely not let the old bug go, but you have to eat your food bit by bit and walk your road step by step.

Now he has concluded a contract with Tokiomi, and having obtained the official qualification of a Master, Tokiomi has the ability of "clairvoyance" to see through the information of Heroic Spirits.

If he was still planning to let Tokiomi summon Gilgamesh, then he had to be prepared to be "carefully entertained" by Tokiomi.

Being entertained didn't matter to Tatsumi. Even if he was besieged by a group of heroic spirits, he wouldn't feel the slightest fear.

Even the "Oldest King (Fat Tiger)" who possesses the original texts of all the Noble Phantasms in the world is not invincible.

But no matter what, Tatsumi was somewhat looking forward to this result.

--------

After Sakura returned to "Toosaka", if you were to ask who was the happiest, it would definitely be her sister Rin.

However, it was already afternoon when she learned about this.

Lin has just started elementary school and is still adapting to the new environment.

In the morning, she got up, washed, got dressed, had breakfast, and finally took the tram to school.

Everything seemed so ordinary, just like any other child. There was nothing special about Rin.

The elementary school curriculum was not difficult, especially for Rin who took her father as her role model. Her academic performance was among the best, making her a typical "other people's child".

However, this kind of thing that seems amazing in the eyes of others seems very ordinary to Rin, because in her opinion, it is a matter of course.

Because of my hard work and efforts, I ranked first in the grade.

While others were playing, she was always studying hard.

As time goes by, the gap will naturally widen.

But this is not enough, because Rin has already prepared herself mentally - to become the heir of the magic family.

Rin knows the difficulty of choosing this path, and also knows what it means to choose this path.

However, in order to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities, Rin felt that she had to work harder.

I must become the heir to the Tosaka family's magic, along with my sister's share!

Of course, it was too early for her to say this now, because Tokiomi had never told Rin that he intended to hand over the position of head of the family to her, which made the girl feel a little anxious.

Now all Rin can do is work hard, hoping that she will have enough ability to become a magician and grow up to be a qualified heir worthy of her father's entrusting her with the position of head of the family.

If only she worked a little harder, Sakura might be able to live a little easier.

The slight guilt he felt towards his sister pushed Rin to work harder.

Soon the day's classes were over, and as the school bell rang, Rin was relieved and started her journey home.

"Speaking of which, my father recently said that he would start preparing to teach me magic. I don't know what the formal training will be like..."

The girl thought so and muttered to herself at the same time.

"I'm a little curious..."

Yes, in the past she had always watched her father perform magic and had never practiced it formally.

In my father's words, "Learning magic is a very dangerous thing. To learn magic, you must first learn to control your mind and magic power."

"If you don't have good self-control, you will hurt yourself instead."

Her father said this every time, and then under his demonstration, the gem in the center of the magic circle would change into various shapes according to his will.

No matter how many times I watch it, I still find it amazing because it is something I cannot do, so Rin thinks her father is great.
