"Rin, don't worry! The Matou family is a prestigious magic family in Fuyuki City. Sakura is going to be the heir, so she definitely won't be bullied. You can rest assured!"
As she continued speaking, Aoi Tohsaka repeated herself to herself several times, it was unclear whether she was comforting Rin or herself.
With Rin's keen eyesight, she could naturally see that her mother was also sad, but she couldn't care less about that right now.
My younger sister is more important than this.
"Today's adoption means Sakura hasn't left yet?"
She focused on the key points and asked the question.
Actually, this isn't a problem. Since Aoi Tohsaka is still packing her luggage, Sakura obviously hasn't left yet.
Concern can cloud judgment, and even though she had considered this, Rin Tohsaka still felt more at ease confirming it.
"Ah."
Aoi Tohsaka nodded.
"It's still early. The head of the Matou family hasn't arrived yet. I'm just making preparations in advance."
"Where is Sakura now?"
Downstairs, Tokiomi was instructing her on the etiquette of a magician.
After answering, Aoi Tohsaka glanced at her eldest daughter again.
"If you want to see Sakura, go now!"
"Know!"
Rin turned and ran outside, but when she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something, stopped, and looked back at her mother.
"Won't Mother go see Sakura?"
We'll be living in the same city afterward, so this isn't exactly our last meeting, but it still has special significance.
"no need."
Aoi Tohsaka's eyes dimmed, and she shook her head.
I don't know if I'm afraid to look into my daughter's eyes, or if I'm afraid to face my own heart.
"Then... Mother, if... I mean if I successfully stop Father from letting Sakura be adopted out, can Sakura still stay in our family?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Rin Tohsaka tentatively asked a question.
"Stop Tokiomi?"
Upon hearing this, Aoi Tohsaka was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shook her head.
"Of course not! Tokiomi said that with Sakura's talent, her best future is to become the heir of another magic family. I know you're reluctant to part with Sakura, but your father and I are doing this for Sakura's own good. Please don't do anything foolish!"
Her reason for giving up Sakura was simple—it was for Sakura's own good.
"So my mother thought the same way."
Young Rin lowered her head, her eyes hidden in shadow.
"cold!"
Before Aoi Tohsaka could say anything more, she rushed downstairs and immediately saw her younger sister standing in the middle of the living room with her head down.
038 The Bond Between Sisters, the Fundamental Principles of the Matou Family
"Rin, why are you so clumsy and disorderly? What kind of behavior is this?"
A middle-aged man's voice, gentle yet tinged with reproach, rang out.
Tokiomi Tohsaka shook his head as he watched his daughter run out in her pajamas.
"As the future heir of the Tohsaka family, you should remember to always maintain your elegance!"
"Yes, father!"
Faced with the authority of his elders, young Rin naturally dared not disobey.
But she also clearly noticed that when Tokiomi Tohsaka mentioned the Tohsaka family's heir, her younger sister lowered her head even further.
They are sisters, one is the future heir of the Tohsaka family, and the other is a burden who is to be sent away.
For young children, such a comparison is far too stark.
Noticing this, Rin mustered her courage and spoke up.
"Father, could you please not send Sakura away?"
Although she already had insurance with Su Mo, she still wanted to try one last time to change her father's mind.
As the heir to the Tohsaka family, she was not unaware of the reasons why Sakura had to be adopted out.
Individuals with exceptional magical talent may face extremely dangerous tribulations if they do not receive timely guidance and instruction in magic.
She and her younger sister Sakura happen to be individuals with exceptionally high magical talent.
Since the Tohsaka family can only protect one person, adopting one out is the most appropriate choice.
From this perspective, Tokiomi Tohsaka's decision was also to protect Sakura's safety.
However, Rin felt that there might be a better way than separating from her sister and sending her to a magic family with an unclear situation.
"I can inherit the Tohsaka family crest with Sakura. I've checked, and if we each take half, there won't be any problems!"
"So, could Sakura stay?"
Hearing Rin Tohsaka's words and seeing her older sister fighting so hard for her, Sakura, who had been looking down at the ground, looked up in surprise.
Then, together with her sister, they cast expectant glances at their father.
Upon hearing Rin Tohsaka's suggestion, and facing the expectant gazes of his two daughters, Tokiomi Tohsaka was not angry; instead, he smiled slightly.
"As your father, I am very happy to see that you sisters have such a good relationship."
Upon hearing this, Rin and Sakura exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement.
Could it be that Father is about to be persuaded?
But before they could even celebrate for two seconds, Tokiomi Tohsaka abruptly changed the subject.
"However, Sakura's matter has already been decided and cannot be changed."
One sentence sent the two daughters plummeting from heaven to hell.
Tokiomi Tohsaka seemed to have noticed this as well, so he shook his head slightly with a hint of helplessness and explained.
"Not to mention that the mark accumulated by the Tohsaka family to this day cannot be separated; that would be a stain on the family's history."
"Even if we don't consider that, Rin, you need to learn to see things from Sakura's perspective."
"what?"
Upon hearing Tokiomi Tohsaka's words, Rin Tohsaka was momentarily stunned.
Are you sure you're giving Sakura away because you're thinking of her?
"Don't focus on the present, focus on the future."
Seeing his daughter's stunned expression, Tokiomi Tohsaka shook his head.
"With your talent, you will surely surpass me in the future and become the most outstanding heir of the Tohsaka family. Your future can be described as bright and colorful, and you may even get close to our magicians' long-cherished wish—to get close to the Root!"
When the origins were mentioned, Tokiomi Tohsaka's expression was filled with longing.
"Under these circumstances, would you really want to see Sakura waste such a precious talent and remain unknown forever?"
"The Matou family is also a prestigious family of magicians, and in terms of heritage, it is even stronger than our Tohsaka family. If Sakura can become the heir of the Matou family, then she will also embark on the path of magic and pursue the Root, just like you!"
"Therefore, don't worry about Sakura's future. Only by going to the Matou family can her talents be fully utilized. Even if it's for her own good, you can't deprive her of the right to pursue happiness!"
"..."
Rin Tohsaka was almost in a daze for a moment.
What's going on? Why is he talking like he's the villain?
After taking a deep breath, she looked at her father's face.
In contrast to Aoi Tohsaka's expression, Tokiomi Tohsaka's expression, while showing some reluctance, was mostly filled with anticipation.
He genuinely believed that sending Sakura away was the only way for him to find happiness.
In Tokiomi Tohsaka's view, being able to embark on the path of magic and pursue the origin is the greatest happiness for a magician, and he is making plans for Sakura's future.
On this point, she could not convince her father.
Having keenly realized this, Rin Tohsaka did not give up, but continued to question him.
"What if the Matou family are all bad people, and they don't like Sakura and treat her badly?"
Isn't it worrying to send such a young child there?
To this question, Tokiomi Tohsaka gave a confident answer.
"Don't worry! Absolutely not!"
“Sakura’s talent is so precious that even the Lord of the Clock Tower might be tempted. As long as the Matou family still has the most basic reverence for magic and as long as they still possess the basic ethics of a magician, they will never mistreat such an outstanding successor!”
"You can rest assured on this point!"
Tokiomi Tohsaka held the Matou family, a prestigious magical clan with a history spanning hundreds of years, in the highest esteem.
It was precisely because he knew the Matou family inside and out—at least that's what he thought—that he wanted to entrust his daughter to this trustworthy and prestigious magical sect.
"..."
Rin fell completely silent.
At this point, she had come to a profound realization.
That is, regardless of whether she can thwart this adoption, her father and mother will not give up the idea of giving Sakura away.
