Sumire Tohsaka

Everyone is mistaken.

Father...Tokiomi Tohsaka did not die during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Before that, when the Matou family and the Tohsaka family had just negotiated about the adoption, Tohsaka Tokiomi had already died.

He died on an unremarkable afternoon, the sun was shining golden rays on the ground as usual, the wind was blowing the curtains of the ward as usual, and the medicine was dripping from the infusion tube, making almost inaudible noises.

Everything was exactly the same as usual, nothing special, nothing remarkable.

Tohsaka Tokiomi died there.

"At that time, my father made a wish to me."

Sumire Tohsaka recovered from the sunshine in her memory and said softly.

Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't know her secret, nor did he think about reaching the root through her, nor did he have any special conspiracy.

It was just a normal father-daughter chat.It is a tired father, explaining to his long-sick little daughter why he wants to adopt Sakura to the Matou family.

He said that it was for the long-cherished wish of the Tohsaka family.

"I asked him what the long-cherished wish of the Tohsaka family is." She said, "My father told me that it is to reach the root."

Tohsaka Tokiomi should not have told his youngest daughter this secret.She is so untalented and so sickly, he can definitely conclude that, unlike the two older sisters, Sumire Tohsaka will never be able to walk on the path of a magician in her life.For a child who has no chance of magic, the best way is not to tell her anything related to magic.

But he still relented.

When looking into his little daughter's eyes, Tohsaka Tokiomi's heart softened beyond measure.So he told her the long-cherished wish of the Tosaka family for the past 200 years, and also told her his responsibility as the head of the Tosaka family.

So was that also the father's wish?

When the young Tohsaka Sumire asked him this, Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't think too much, but nodded with a smile.

"he said yes."

Just like that, the door opened.

On such an unremarkable afternoon, in such a careless chat, at such a moment that no one expected—

"I fulfilled my father's wish." Tohsaka Sumire said softly, "I let him touch the root."

That kind of thing has been attached to her since she was born.

So, let my father touch it.

"So, father just disappeared." Tohsaka Sumire raised his eyes and looked at the killer sent by the restraining force, "All of a sudden, in less than a blink of an eye, he disappeared completely."

The root is originally something that humans should not touch.

Those who went there never came back.

At the moment of touching, Tohsaka Tokiomi disappeared into the vortex of root.

"It's impossible." An unbelievable voice came from under the red cloak, "There is no such record."

"Because I modified it."

Sumire Tohsaka raised her head, those gem-like green eyes stared at a certain point in the void, revealing a kind of almost inorganic coldness.She calmly spoke slowly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"I changed the record of that incident. Salvaged my father's record and brought him back to this world. I erased the existence of that incident."

As something flowing from the root, she originally had that kind of authority - even if it is to weave the tree of life from scratch, even if it is to modify the system of this planet, it can be done.

So when she made a wish, things happened as she wished.

"However, when I looked at my father who reappeared in front of me, I had a question in my heart."

Sumire Tohsaka lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes were like the wings of a crow, casting a gloomy shadow under her eyes.

She said, "Is it really my father who came back?"

Looking at the man who continued to smile at her as if nothing had happened, the young Sumire Tohsaka couldn't help but have such thoughts in her heart.

Is that thing really his father?

A man who disappears like a bubble and reappears like a bubble according to his wish.The records were modified by her at will, erased and reappeared by her at will...

That thing, not my father.

At that moment, the child realizes this so clearly.

"It was just a product of my wish," she said. "The moment it was erased, my father was killed by me."

The father who had raised her, been by her, had always loved her and looked to her and shaped her...had been killed by her rash desires.

What remains here is only something else shaped by her imagination.It's just wearing her father's skin, using her father's voice, loading her father's records, pretending to be her father's... it's just the realization of her wish.

So, from that moment on, Sumire Tohsaka could no longer confirm the existence of her father in her eyes.

——Because my father is no longer here.

"Then, from that day on, I began to think—" She smiled lightly, "Is it really a good thing that I survived?"

"Every day, every day, thinking really hard."

"Every day, every day, I'm thinking about something like this."

Until finally, she happened to find Klaus Pope's picture book in the study, an exotic fairy tale called "The God of Peace".

It's more like a fate than a coincidence—or rather, an apocalypse.

When she was alone in the study, there was no wind, no people, no trace of magic or science, and the picture book fell in front of her with a clatter.

The cover of the picture book has a strange style of painting. On the opened page, the strangely worded story only caught her attention for a moment.

—for the first time the god of peace stood in front of the mirror.

However, what was reflected in the mirror was a demon. ①

—The devil spoke.

"You are me, and I am you."②

At that time, the hand of the young child holding the page of the book did not move for a long, long time.

At this moment, Sumire Tohsaka gently stroked the black cat in her arms, which was once a human being a short time ago, smiled slightly, and read the ending of that fairy tale again in a dreamlike tone.

"What should I do? As long as there is this demon, everyone will not be able to live in peace." She repeated the question in a tone like reciting a fairy tale, "What should I do? What should I do?"③

She put down the black cat, raised her eyes, looked at the guardian of the primate, and repeated the question she asked when he just came in.

"Confused God of Peace, what did she do...do you know?"

The girl raised her hand, and stroked her neck lightly with her slender and fair fingers.

She smiled and said, "Like this, just one moment, and it's all over."

It seems to be back to that day again.In the garden full of flowers, the moment when the young child raised his head and looked at his crying sister.

She smiled softly at the crying girl who told her "I don't want to be sent to someone else's home".

"Well, your wish... will come true."

——As long as I'm not here.

At that time, the third sister really wanted to die.
