Sumire Tohsaka

For some reason, I recalled something from a long time ago.

It was the conversation between the priest and Sakura that the seven-year-old overheard before she was sent to the Ritual Garden.

"You understand, if this continues, those magicians who came here to plunder Tohsaka's inheritance will sooner or later notice that 'extra treasure'."

The tall man squatted down in front of the young girl, his dark shadow was more gloomy than the cassock on his body, covering Sakura like mud, covering all the expressions on her face.

"You also know that the current Tohsaka family can't protect 'that'—your sister, Tohsaka Sumire—what kind of creature a magician is, I think you should know better than Rin Bar."

He put his palm on Sakura's shoulder, but looked at himself.Sakura probably didn't notice it, but she saw it very clearly.

That man, Kotomine Kirei had such a dark yet cheerful smile on his lips.

"As long as you're a magician, you can't help being crazy about 'that'."

He is so sincere, yet so maliciously telling the hateful truth to the young children.

"Even my teacher and your father, if he is still alive, will definitely go crazy over it. Then take it as a matter of course and happily send Sumire Tohsaka to the altar."

Hearing these words, the girl's slender shoulders trembled, and then she finally raised her head.

"In that case, what will Xiao Jin become?"

"I will definitely die, and I will definitely not survive."

The man happily proclaimed this fact.

"No matter how you look at it, Sumire Tohsaka has no chance of surviving at that point. If a magician discovers her true nature, she will have no future from that moment on."

Sakura stood silently, but the shadow kept changing its shape like boiling.

"The only way to protect her now is to send her to Liyuan."

The man stood up straight with satisfaction and put his hands behind his back.

"There is a secret place isolated from the world. The air will not flow, and people will not enter or exit. It is a place that cannot be observed by all forces. If you send it there, whether it is an association, a church, or a higher level... They won't even find out about her existence. Anyway, if it's your persuasion, Rin will definitely obey."

"..."

Xiao Sakura remained silent, her left hand tightly grasped her right arm, so hard that the clothes around her elbows were wrinkled.

"I don't want to be separated from my half body, and want to live with her no matter what, I understand very well. But, you are absolutely unable to protect her now."

The priest made up for the final blow with a smile.

"If you want to understand, you can contact me at any time, and my recommendation will always be valid."

Before leaving, he turned around as if he suddenly remembered something, and spoke to the silent girl who bowed her head.

"Of course, you can also make a wish to her again."

The smile on his face silently widened.

"Just like you did before—you know, it'll all work out that way."

The girl's young body suddenly trembled!

……

……

……

Sumire Tohsaka opened her eyes.

What caught my eye was a dark red room, displaying suspicious ancient books and instruments.The skeletons and specimens of various creatures were placed on shelves, the jars containing strange creatures smelled like formalin, and strange magic circles could be seen everywhere on the floor and on the table.

Nothing more typical...the magician's workshop.

"Are you awake? It should be said that although you have no talent, you are the daughter of a demon family... You woke up faster than I expected."

A man's voice floated from the side, soft and hoarse, with a slightly unpleasant aristocratic accent.

Sumire Tohsaka sat up straight with the floor propped up, the gemstone bracelet slipped down from the elbow without a sound, and the citrine on it was already shattered.

After seeing that, the male magician in a white coat slightly raised his eyebrows, confirming the real reason for her awakening.

"I see, gem magic... Citrine's 'exorcism' and 'awakening' are worthy of the Tohsaka family who once studied under the 'Gem Man'. Judging from this magic dress, it seems that there are quite talented people in this generation. Magician."

The male magician's face is very young, but his tone of voice is strangely older.Those eyes, which had experienced countless hardships, silently stated a fact to the girl—that is, he was far older than his appearance showed.

Those old eyes were examining the bracelet on her wrist, narrowing slightly as if measuring value.

"This magic dress is indeed exquisitely made. The magic power is stored in the gems in advance. In order for laymen to use it, a passive activation formula is also engraved. Once the conditions are met, it will be triggered directly. And weaving these gems The spells that are raised up are also very ingenious... It’s so amazing to achieve the reconciliation of so many magic spells with different effects, and to hide them skillfully, and I didn’t even notice it at first.”

The magician applauded softly.

"It's really outstanding. If I'm still in the Clock Tower (College), as a lecturer on element conversion, I will definitely give the student who made this magic dress an 'excellent' evaluation. It's a pity."

As if sincerely regretting this, the magician waved his hand, and the invisible blade cut open the jewel bracelet (magic dress) guarding her in an instant!

Accompanied by the sound of gems breaking, the black braided rope was broken under the wind blade, giving off the smell of burnt hair.Looking at the remains of the jewel, the exotic magician smiled.

"However, this level of magic dress cannot stop me."

Under that seemingly humble and polite tone, there was an unpleasant arrogance hidden.

But Sumire Tohsaka didn't show any displeasure on her face.

She just stared at the magician blankly and asked that question.

"who are you?"

"Danick Preston. Like your family, he is a magician." The foreign man bowed to her quite dramatically, "Nice to meet you, Miss Tohsaka."

Tohsaka Sumire just returned her doll-like gaze.

"Why did you tie me here?" Those cold emerald eyes were as inorganic as gemstones. "I don't have any magic skills, and I have never practiced any magic. I should be worthless to you, right?"

Yes, it must be so in the eyes of the magician.

Unlike Rin, who has the attributes of the five major elements, and Sakura, who has the extremely rare overhead element attribute of "void", Sumire's aptitude in magic is not so much "mediocre" as "none at all"—just She has only three magic circuits, and her physique is extremely weak. She has struggled in the ward and on the operating table since she was a child, and she is not even as good as ordinary people in terms of magic.

In fact, for ordinary magicians, someone like Sumire Tohsaka...is not even qualified to be a placenta that conceives offspring.

However, facing such a fact, the foreign magician named Danik slowly smiled.

"No, no, your existence itself is an irreplaceable miracle, a rare treasure in the magic world."

His eyes staring at her gradually became bright with frenzy.

"Yeah! That's right! As long as I have you—the holy grail, there is no need for it at all!!!"

- The Holy Grail.

It is the legendary universal wishing machine that can grant any wish.

But if all wishes can only be fulfilled, it is impossible to make everyone crazy about it—at least, it is impossible to make all magicians crazy about it.

Danik Preston knew very well that the value of the girl in front of him was by no means comparable to that of the "Holy Grail".

The ultimate goal that all magicians want to reach-the root vortex.There are records of everything in the world, truth, cause and effect, and laws, extreme knowledge... In other words, everything is there.

It was a place where there was nothing, but there was also everything.

No magician does not want to reach the root.For this purpose, magicians constantly hone themselves, keep learning, and even pass on the results of this obsession and learning from generation to generation... All the hard work, honing, and persistence in units of thousands of years are all for Someone can reach the vortex of origin.

However, there are only five "paths" that can reach the root.

"You are the brand new 'Path'." Danic continued almost frantically, "Although I don't know how the Tohsaka family did it, but as long as you are there—"

As long as you have this [path to the root]——

Even a magician like Danik Preston can reach the Root Vortex.

It is a miracle that may not be achieved even if accumulated for dozens of generations. It is an opportunity to realize a thousand-year long-cherished wish in an instant. As long as you get this path——you can overcome all harsh conditions in an unreasonable way , easily fulfilling his wish!

At that moment, many fragments flashed through Danik Preston's mind.

It is the face of a magician who declares that "the blood of your family has been polluted and will be cut off within five generations at most";

It was the back view of his fiancée and brother-in-law who immediately abandoned him after hearing all this;

It was the days and nights of being humiliated and being ridiculed by others since then;

……

Yes.

As long as he gets this, even Danik Preston, who has been sentenced to "never reach the vortex of the root", can surpass those magicians who "have the possibility" and create a magic weapon to reach the vortex of the root. Miracle.

At that time——what kind of expressions will appear on those arrogant and hateful faces?

"Sorry, I can't understand a word of what you said."

The girl's tone was languid, and there was no emotion on that beautiful face like a French doll, and her gem-like eyes turned to the magician, declaring a fact as a matter of course.

"However, you were the one who tampered with the gift Dong Si gave me and kidnapped me here?"

"what?"

It seems that he didn't expect that his speech would only get such a response, or that the girl in front of him was so ignorant of the world of magic, Danic was rarely stunned.

"If you go back too late, Sakura and mother will be worried, and sister will be very angry."

Sumire Tohsaka almost looked like he was about to sigh.

"Although it's unlikely, I still want to ask, can you let me go back?"

Such everyday words made Danik frown slightly.Then, his brows stretched out again.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Tohsaka." He smiled slightly, and the brooch on his chest burst open, "Although your words do contain some kind of power, I'm also prepared for it——I can't let you go back."

The broken brooch was the magic dress prepared to resist the "distortion of words".After learning that Tohsaka Sumire possesses the ability similar to "Spirit of Words", Danik prepared many similar magic dresses as a countermeasure - there are 27 such things in him.

"That's it."

Tohsaka Sumire's eyes fell on his face, there was no fear or hatred in those cold emerald eyes, they just asked so simply——

"You brought me here, what do you want to do to me?"

"Don't worry, it will be over in a moment."

Danik comforted her softly.

"I promise, there won't be any pain in the process. You won't notice anything, so there's no need to panic."

——Because he would devour her soul in an instant.

When he saw her, Darnik realized it.

It is not her soul that is connected to the root vortex, but her body.

In other words, as long as he transfers his soul into her body, it will be fine.

What Danik Preston is practicing is the magic of [Soul Fusion], which is almost like an opportunity bestowed on him by God.

and so--

"Relax." The fraudster known as "Eight Tongues" in the Magicians Association coaxed, "You don't have to be afraid of anything."

With a grateful heart, he will devour the soul of the girl in front of him in the most gentle way.It will definitely not make her feel the slightest pain, and it will definitely not leave a residue that can fear (resistance).

"Ah, that's right." He patted his forehead, moved away as if he had just remembered something, "This is your little boyfriend—if possible, please try not to add extra work to me, far away Miss Saka."

Behind him, Sogu Touji's body covered in blood suddenly fell to the ground.

At that moment, the girl's puppet-like expression suddenly changed.

"What did you do to him—"

At the last moment when the boy fell to the ground, she finally caught him. The girl opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at the blood gushing from the boy's hands and feet. She didn't know what to do for a while.She stretched out her hand cautiously, but didn't even dare to touch the wound.

"I didn't expect that he would suddenly grab you at the last moment of the transfer, and ended up being dragged in together."

murmur.

"Because he prepared a magic trick for one person, he didn't faint. For him who is not a magician, this is really unfortunate."

murmur.

"Please believe that I didn't mean to target him. He shouldn't attack me first. It seems that he is completely regarded as a bad person, and there is no chance to communicate. You see, in order to protect myself, I can only resist. ?”

murmur.

"I didn't expect that what you're looking at is actually a completely ordinary person, who has no resistance to magic power at all. You can't even dodge such a magic bullet."

murmur.

"Accidentally made it like this. I'm sorry, sorry, I will take care of it. Please don't worry."

murmur.

"Okay, let's get started—Miss Tohsaka."

All are noises.

Tohsaka Sumire just silently hugged Soya Touji's body, watching the boy's blood soak her clothes little by little.

It was obviously a dress specially prepared for a date, but now it is too dirty to look at.

It seemed that there were only such chaotic thoughts floating in her mind.

However, in the chaotic consciousness, under the countless noisy noises, there was a voice that sounded extremely clearly.

——Why, isn’t this person going to die?

The girl stared blankly at the magus's hand reaching out to her, and thought so.

then--

As if echoing her thought, there was a soft patter sound from under the blood-soaked clothes.

——That was, the sound of the girl's abdomen cracking open.

At this moment, two people raised their heads at the same time.

"Teacher Wutiao?"

Yi Guyou looked at the white-haired young man who suddenly took off the bandage and stared at the night sky strangely, and made a confused voice.

"Ah. I'm sorry, Yi Gu, you should complete this task by yourself first."

Gojo Satoru suddenly raised his hand and made an apologetic gesture.It's just that his eyes still stay on the endless night sky.

"The teacher suddenly has a job that has to be done."

In his field of vision, the world, centered on a certain vortex, began to become distorted.

On the other side, Sakura suddenly trembled all over, clutching her stomach as if she was enduring some pain.

"Sakura?" Tohsaka Rin hurriedly supported his sister.

"It's okay, sister." The girl showed a pale smile, but her eyes were still looking at the sky, "...I found it."

The telepathy between the twins is pointing her in the direction of her twin sister.

—— Sumire is crying.

Sakura thought so.

Under her feet, the pitch-black shadow boiled slightly.
