Magic world

"Wow."

"boom."

"Who?" Hearing the sound, Irisviel, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up and asked subconsciously.

"Me." Ito Cheng said quietly.

"Get dressed and follow me." Then, before Irisviel could speak, Ito Cheng said. Then he directly skipped Irisviel and walked to Tohsaka Sakura. He first touched her sleeping point to make Tosaka Sakura fall asleep. Then he picked Tosaka Sakura up from the bed, stood up and walked over to the side. On the other hand, Tohsaka Sakura's belongings were packed away.

After putting everything away, Ito Shige turned back to Irisviel who hadn't moved much and said, "I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, he ignored the lingering Irisviel, walked out of the room softly, returned to the taxi outside the hotel, put Tohsaka Sakura in the back seat, and leaned against Tohsaka Aoi.

Less than ten minutes later, Irisviel, fully dressed, also came to the taxi.

"Get in the car." Ito Cheng, who was standing next to the taxi, said as he opened the rear door.

Irisviel looked at Ito Cheng, and then got into the taxi as instructed.

Immediately, Ito Cheng closed the door, turned around, opened the passenger seat, and sat down in the passenger seat.

"boom."

"go……"

Ito Cheng, who closed the car door, gave an address.

Then the driver started the taxi and quickly drove away from the front of the hotel.

More than ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of an apartment.

If Tohsaka Sakura was sober at this time, she would definitely recognize that this apartment was the one where she and Ito Cheng lived before. I just don’t know why I came back after only two days away.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Just like the old saying goes, "The most dangerous place is often the safest place." So after abandoning this place for two days, this apartment was basically excluded from the surveillance targets by some people, so it can be used The "dark under the lamp" ingenuity returns to live here.

What's more, for what Ito Cheng intends to do next, a safe and undisturbed environment is particularly important, so having positional defense in the apartment has become the most suitable location for him besides deep mountains and old forests.

"You hold Sakura." Ito Cheng, who picked up the medical freezer, turned to look at Irisviel sitting in the back seat of the car and said. Then without waiting for her answer, he opened the door and got out of the car, walked around the front of the car and came to the other side. Open the car door. He leaned over and took the unconscious Tohsaka Aoi out of the car.

At the same moment, Irisviel also carried Tohsaka Sakura out of the car.

Immediately, Ito Cheng closed the door, sent away the taxi that he had controlled all night, and took Irisviel into the apartment. Put Tohsaka Sakura and Tohsaka Aoi into each other's and his own bedrooms respectively.

"Okay. You continue to rest. The rules are still the same. Don't move, otherwise you will know the consequences." Ito Cheng, who put away Tohsaka Aoi and returned to the corridor, looked at Irisviel and said.

Irisviel glared at Ito Cheng with a hateful expression. He opened the door to a room, turned around and walked in.

"boom."

The doors were slammed together.

In response, Ito Cheng smiled softly, turned around and went down to the living room with the medical freezer, went straight into the magic room where Tohsaka Sakura practiced magic, and started playing with the things inside.

…

At the same time, inside the Tohsaka family's mansion.

"Yeah."

With a soft sound, Kirei Kotomine, dressed in black robes, walked into the room that Ito Shige had entered twice before.

"...I understand. Okay, I still have something to do here, and we'll talk about the rest later." Tokiomi Tosaka, who was on the phone, looked up at Kotomine Kirei who walked into the room, and said to the phone .

"bell."

Tokiomi Tosaka hung up the phone.

"Welcome, Kirei, I'm waiting for you." Tokiomi Tosaka sighed slightly and stood up.

"What happened?" Kotomine Kirei asked.

"...Aoi disappeared and was kidnapped by someone unknown." Tokiomi Tosaka was silent for a moment, and then said with a rigid expression full of uncontrollable anger.

"Obviously, she and Rin have been sent to Chancheng. Teruri said that no one there would know. Why."

"Could it be another master's fault?" Kotomine Kirei asked.

"Who do you think it will be?" Tokiomi Tosaka took a deep breath to calm down and asked.

"There are four people." Kotomine Kirei said, "One, there is no intelligence and it is impossible to judge. But Ito Cheng's existence and purpose make people doubt that he and Emiya Kiritsugu, who is a magician killer, may kidnap the master's wife. ."Who is \u003cer? Tokiomi Tosaka frowned.

"No." Kotomine Kirei replied without changing his expression.

"...By the way, why are you here now..." Tokiomi Tosaka nodded slightly, then looked up at Kotomine Kirei who was visiting at this unusual time and asked.

"Before I leave Fuyuki, I have something to say to you and say goodbye to you." Kotomine Kirei said.

"This... it's such a rush. It's a pity to say goodbye to you in this way." Tokiomi Tosaka said. But even though he said that, there was no look of pity on his face.

"I will take a flight to Italy at dawn. First, I need to deliver my father's belongings to the headquarters. I may not be able to return to Japan for the time being." In this regard, Kotomine Kirei did not feel the slightest bit wrong, and his voice remained calm. said.

"The closer it gets to you leaving, the more reluctant I feel to leave. No matter what, I hope you can inherit your father Risei's legacy and continue to help my Tohsaka family realize their long-cherished wish..." Tokiomi Tosaka said.

"It's a pity that your action against the Einzbern family failed, but I can understand that your starting point was good. Maybe this is the agent's behavior, but I hope that you can be timely before and after the action. Please report the situation to me. This way I can be better prepared."

Although many changes have taken place due to Ito Cheng's intervention, because of the desire in his heart to compete with Emiya Kiritsugu and destroy his wishes, after asking Irisviel that time, Kotomine Kirei still In one operation, Einzbern's castle in the woods was attacked. Although it ended in failure without finding anyone.

"I'm really ashamed that I caused so much trouble to you, mentor, at the last moment." Kotomine Kirei bowed his head deeply and apologized.

"It is true that we met together because of the Holy Grail War, but no matter what, I am very proud to have a disciple like you." Tokiomi Tosaka said sincerely.

"Although talent cannot be forced, your serious cultivation attitude as a seeker, even as a teacher, I deeply admire - Kirei, from now on, just like your father, you will continue to ensure that How about fighting for the interests of the Tohsaka family?"

"It's not what I asked for." Kotomine Kirei smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

Because I have never understood Kotomine Kirei from the beginning to the end, and I don’t know his personality and world view. In addition, the Tosaka family men have a sad fate of always falling apart at critical moments. Tohsaka Tokiomi, who understood the meaning of Mine Kirei's smile, happily continued, "You are a reassuring person. I want my daughter to learn more from you. After this Holy Grail War is over, Kirei, you will serve as Rin's Master will guide her."

Then, Tosaka Tokiomi picked up the letter placed on the corner of the table and handed it to Kotomine Kirei.

"Teacher, what is this?" Kotomine Kirei asked doubtfully.

"Although the writing is relatively simple, it can still be regarded as something like a suicide note." Tokiomi Tosaka said with a wry smile.

"In case, although the probability is very low, it is possible, if something unexpected happens to me. I am writing here to hand over the governor of the Tohsaka family to Rin, and you will be her guardian until she comes of age. As long as Submit this letter to [Clock Tower], and the association will naturally take care of the rest."

"Please leave it to me. Even if my disciple's abilities are limited, I will definitely do my best to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of your daughter." Kotomine Kirei assured with a serious look on his face.

This is not hypocritical coping and pretense. After all, he is a clergyman. According to certain teachings of clergymen, it is an obligation to honestly and firmly perform the responsibilities entrusted to oneself by others.

"Thank you, Kirei." Tosaka Tokiomi said with a slight sigh of relief.

Then Tohsaka Tokiomi picked up a small, slender box from the table and handed it to Kotomine Kirei.

"Open it and take a look. This is my personal gift to you." Tokiomi Tosaka said.

Kotomine Kirei opened the zygote as instructed. In an instant, a delicate dagger lying quietly in a velvet cloth appeared in Kotomine Kirei's eyes.

"This is..." Kotomine Kirei said.

"The Sword of Azoth. It is crafted from ancestral gemstones. It can be used as a gift after being filled with magic power - use this as proof that you have practiced the Tohsaka family's demonic ways and graduated from the apprenticeship." Tokiomi Tosaka explained.

Kotomine Kirei took out the dagger from the box and stared at the blade of the dagger quietly, not moving it away for a long time.

"My mentor... I really can't repay your care and high hopes for me." After a moment, Kotomine Kirei said with a slightly squirming expression.

"You are the best reward for me, Kotomine Kirei. This way I can participate in the subsequent battles without any worries." Tokiomi Tosaka smiled. Then while walking towards the door, he said, "I'm really sorry for taking you so long. Can you still catch the plane -"

At this time, his entire back appeared in Kotomine Kirei's eyes. (To be continued...)
