Tribute to the Demon King

While thinking, Rin responded to Tokiomi's words with a clear voice.

But, having said that...

But Rin had just witnessed that shocking scene.The scene of the thunder and wind, the ground splitting open, and the world turned upside down in an instant still kept flashing in her mind.

This is Rin's first time in England.Before that, she had heard her father talk about the status of the "Association" in the magic world many times, and repeated the need to be vigilant against the magicians of the Association many times, so that she was always a little nervous after coming here.

As of last night, in less than a day since arriving in England, Rin had seen forty or fifty magicians.This number is five or six times more than the total number of magicians she has seen in the past 13 years.

Just like a countryman entering the city for the first time, everything he sees is new.On the one hand, her curiosity as a child made her constantly want to contact those people and ask them about things they were interested in; on the other hand, her reserve as the heir of the Tohsaka family prevented her from revealing her ignorance. He could only consciously remain well-behaved and polite, leaving everything to his father and Uncle Darius to take care of.

——but these were all only an hour ago.

After witnessing a servant who can destroy a forest with a single hand, and Zhou Yi who is still talking and laughing unmoved under that level of storm, as well as the legendary Inherent Barrier and Avalon... Rin looked back When facing these "predecessors" who are also well-known in the clock tower, they are no longer so nervous and at a loss.

Her expression is calm, her breathing is steady, her eyes are clear and calm.Even if he met Yvette's interested gaze, he would not dodge it deliberately.

"Mr. Tohsaka, do you think your daughter will become a great magician?"

Yvette was amazed: "But yes. You are also a very good magician. It is not surprising that you can teach such a daughter."

When she saw Rin, it was like seeing the rough stone of a handed down gem, and there was an undisguised "want" look in her eyes.Although the gaze contained no malice, it still made Lin take half a step back behind Zhou Yi vigilantly.

"Ah, I've always thought so."

Tokiomi just smiled flatly, and nodded to Evie as a matter of course: "Rin will become a more outstanding magician than me. No matter in every aspect, she can completely replace me."

"Father……"

Rin murmured a little touched.

It was also the first time she saw her father affirming herself in front of other people.

Perhaps it was because he was worried about the child's pride, or because he wanted to encourage Rin to work harder... On weekdays, Tokiomi seldom praised her other than "the answer is correct" or "well done".Instead, he kept praising Kotomine Shirou, and educated Rin earnestly as if he were a "child of someone else's family".

When talking with Kotomine Risei, the two sides are also children who boast about each other, and rarely say things like "Shirou really reassures me about this" or "I never doubt Rin's ability and hard work" Class words.

And every time when the few ministers affirmed her, Rin would be so happy that he could hardly sleep.

Perhaps it is the reason for coming to the land where the association is located in the UK.My father has also become calmer and stricter than in Japan.Even though he hadn't seen him use any outstanding magic like Uncle Darius, Rin could feel the aura of a magician clearly permeating from Tokiomi at this moment.

There are various elements gathered in a magician.

Talent, lineage, family lineage, technology, attribute, character, magic circuit and magic engraving.

Rin has also heard from his father that almost all of his talents are mediocre by the standards of a magician, and the only thing worth boasting about is his heart—to be exact, what his father has now mastered. Technology is acquired through repeated learning and practice tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times.

From Rin's point of view... being good at hard work is a talent in itself.Father is a genius who works hard.

Every step I walk is blood.Only by forging yourself into living steel can you continue to work hard for decades.

Therefore, Rin admired Tokiomi very much.

Just like other girls her age, she also regards her father as her idol.Therefore, whether it is someone boasting about Tokiomi to her, or Tokiomi boasting about her to others, Rin can get great satisfaction.

...but then again.

That being the case, what is the most important element for a magician?What is the most correct way of existence?

"I'll go back first, Rin."

Zhou Yi suddenly raised his head to look at the time, then lightly patted Rin's head, pushed her two steps forward with gentle force, and sent her to Tokiomi's side.

Then he nodded to Tokiomi, and left in the direction of the front of the car.

Tokiomi and Rin looked at his whereabouts, and watched for a while with some concern.Lion Jie, who was looking at the scenery before, also turned his gaze back, and kept watching Zhou Yi leave his field of vision.

"Oh! Someone said it with an idea!"

Yvette looked at the atmosphere and was silent for a while, and immediately interrupted with a smile: "Although it's a bit unlucky, but be prepared. Do you want to hear my nonsense?"

"Ominous?"

Tokiomi asked with great interest.

"Well—that's right."

Yvette nodded sharply: "Look, isn't the train breaking down now?"

After speaking, the girl pointed to the floor and continued: If this continues, the magic eye auction may be delayed for a long, long time... If it is not resolved for a long time, this year's auction may be cancelled. "

"Cancel the auction?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned: "Wait, what you said, I do seem to have a little impression..."

The auction on the magic eye collection train was indeed suspended once.

It seems to be related to Aozaki Touko and her familiar.The former manager seems to have disappeared because of that dispute.

As the saying goes, if there is one, there are two.Now that there is a precedent, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen to this auction.

"That would be bad..."

Tohsaka Tokiomi showed a wry smile: "I may not be able to wait until next year."
