I should laugh when the object of my dislike and even my abhorrence falls into such a situation.
Yes, that's right, laugh heartily, laugh wildly, laugh until you can't stop, laugh until tears come out.
After all—the man who made Sakura suffer and Aoi cry is going to die!
However... the emotions in his heart were completely out of Kariya's control.
emptiness.
unwilling.
angry.
Kotomine Kirei's excited smile made Kariya feel extremely disgusted, as if Kariya's treasured figurines worth tens of thousands of yuan were torn into pieces by him, as if the things Kariya had pursued so hard were thrown in front of him like garbage.
If Tōsaka Tokiomi died like this—
Thousands of thoughts emerged in my mind, and finally, as if escaping, only one thought remained.
So will Aoi cry?
No, Aoi must not be made to cry, at least not because of such an ending.
After convincing himself, Matou Kariya transformed into a black shadow and rushed out without hesitation, grabbing the dying Tokiomi, and as if he was carrying a rag sack, he broke through the wall with his mortal enemy and disappeared under the cover of night.
Behind him, the priest, with some blood still on his body, stared at him until they were hidden by the woods and disappeared from each other's sight.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
In the dim light, Tōsaka Tokiomi woke up coughing.
He stood up and saw a man sitting next to him, looking no better than him.
“Matou…Kariya.”
"Hmph, how does it feel to be saved by your enemy?"
Despite being mocked like this, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not respond. Instead, he stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling his heart and pulse becoming increasingly weak.
With the magic mark, the magician's heart will not stop so easily (please refer to the captain for details), but death is inevitable. Whether the urn should have a sliding lid or a flip lid is what Toosaka Tokiomi should think about.
And Matou Kariya didn't say much. He felt annoyed every time he looked at Tōsaka Tokiomi, so he looked away and reflected on the reason why he saved him.
Tell me, Kariya."
Tōsaka Tokiomi's sudden words interrupted Kariya's chaotic thoughts.
"what?"
“Is my life a failure… that’s all.” After a pause, Tokiomi brought up a new topic, “Tell me, Kariya, what was the Matou family like back then?”
"I thought you would continue to pretend to be ignorant even though you know the truth." After his habitual sarcasm, Kariya sighed and finally told the truth of that year.
There was no light on. In the magic studio, any modern technology would be affected. There was only a retro kerosene lamp swaying, creating a silent and mysterious atmosphere.
That's it, do you understand? If it weren't for Sakutsuki's help, Sakura would have been thrown into the worm hole, and her future would have been dark from then on..."
He spoke as if he had suppressed all his emotions; even Kariya himself was surprised at how calm his emotions were.
He thought he would scold Tokiomi for his stupidity and mock his ignorance... However, when he realized that the person lying in front of him was gradually dying, he suddenly lost the strength to get excited.
He even felt pity.
Ending up like this is actually just like Tōsaka Tokiomi's style. He firmly believed in his own way of survival and took his first step without hesitation - until the last moment, he was still unaware that there was a big hole next to his feet.
As if to get rid of this emotion, Kariya shook his head vigorously and said coldly, "Although we are enemies, I can still help with things like calling Sister Aoi and Xiao Lin over."
"I'm sorry about Sakura, Kariya."
Yanye turned his head in astonishment, looking at the man lying on the bed like a corpse, as if he had heard some impossible talking in his sleep.
And then, Tōsaka Tokiomi confirmed that this was not Kariya's hallucination.
"Also, call Aoi, Rin... and Sakura for me, please, Kariya."
Faced with the request of a dying man, even if it was an enemy, Kariya still sighed and softened his heart.
"Then just consider it as my momentary confusion - Shuoyue, you kid just watch from the side, come out quickly!"
As soon as Yanye finished speaking, a blue diamond-shaped magic door appeared beside him. As the young man walked out, the dim magic workshop became bright because of his piercing golden eyes.
"Yes, this is NFF service. I don't know how you knew I was supervising, but of course, everything is in accordance with your needs. But the commission fee will not be low, okay?"
Following the young man's declaration, replacement spaces opened one after another, and three unexpected figures walked out from them.
Zenjo Aoi, Toosaka Rin, Matou Sakura.
The family of Toosaka Tokiomi, who were also the three women that Matou Kariya fought for, gathered here. When they saw Toosaka Tokiomi lying on the sickbed, dying, whether they were willing to believe it or not, they had to accept the pain and panic of having the truth hit them in the face.
“Tokiomi——!”
"Father!"
"dad……"
When the three women surrounded Tōsaka Tokiomi, Kariya just sighed, took a last lingering look at Aoi, and pulled Sakutsuki out of the magic studio.
Chapter 162 Eat first, or
……
Close the door and isolate all the sorrow and crying in the workshop.
"After creating such a huge mess, are you finally willing to calm down?"
“No, this is just the beginning, Kariya—rather than this, why don’t you answer me: How did you find out that I was supervising?”
"I'm just guessing. I just think that someone like you would definitely tamper with the place where you lived."
I feel really sorry for being so feared by you guys, and it was the same this morning, can't you just let me die quietly?"
"Who would believe your lies? You should be a little more confident about your own abilities! How can you die just like that?"
"Oh my, my strength is actually not on par with Ritsuka's."
“Ritsuka? Who is that? Is there someone else as perverted as you?” Kariya was shocked, but then he sighed, “Forget it. Even though it’s clumsy, thank you for comforting me.”
Shuoyue's expression froze slightly: "Why do you think I would do such a thing? If it weren't for our friendship..."
"I know, I know. You're so long-winded. This is not like you before."
“That’s because it wasn’t me before.” Shuoyue responded casually, and then he and Yanye leaned against the wall together, looking at the starry sky outside the window. “So, the person you hate is going to die. How do you feel about that?”
"Hate... Of course I still hate him, but I'm just a little unwilling to do so."
"Unwilling?"
"Yes, I am unwilling. Ni Yanye raised his head. At this point, he finally understood the reason why he saved Tōsaka Tokiomi.
"Tousaka Tokiomi must die, but not so hastily."
"But his death must be caused by me, because I came with the flames of revenge. I want him to die with pain and regret after realizing that he pushed his daughter into the fire with his own hands."
Recalling Kotomine Kirei’s smile that was full of pure malice, Kariya could not help but clench his fists.
"We can't let him die so easily. Being betrayed by some scumbag just to satisfy his own desires is too easy for him to die!"
"Is that so?" Shuoyue naturally would not reveal anything. He just smiled. Just as he was about to speak, the door of the magic workshop suddenly opened.
The sobbing of the two girls was heard. Standing at the door, Aoi, with red eyes, looked shaky, but still gave Kariya a forced smile:
“Kariya, Tokiomi wants to see you.”
Yanye opened his mouth and subconsciously looked at Shuoyue, but the latter had already taken a step back cunningly and gave him a thumbs up.
Come on, buddy, Ole Ge!
...this disloyal little bastard.
So, feeling like a bad student being called to the teacher's office, Kariya took a deep breath and walked towards his own magic studio.
After watching the two figures disappear into the basement, Shuoyue blinked, turned around and walked towards the door.
Matou Kariya seemed to have not yet realized the meaning of the words he jokingly said after his arrival.
"Everything is according to your needs, but the commission fee will not be low." Shuoyue whispered to himself, then opened his hands and rhythmically weaved the rhythm of replacement magic with his fingers.
"But first, we have to invite the guests, and then - everyone else has to leave!"
The replacement magic was activated again, and the black-clothed man and his assistant who were on lookout hundreds of meters away were immediately caught and fell into the replacement space. When they came to their senses, they had returned to the Einzbern Castle. However, when facing the vigilant Knight King, the replacement space just appeared in front of her politely. After hesitation, she held her head high, took a step forward calmly, and accepted Shuoyue's invitation.
Then, in the Matou residence, the Knight King met the young man.
“Lord Sakutsuki, why did you send Kiritsugu and Maiya away and only let me come here?” Under the moonlight, the blonde girl tried her best to show the majesty of a king and asked this to the knight she had personally appointed.
And Shuoyue returned the greeting with the manners of a knight: "Just like before, this time, please witness the farewell ceremony of the Knight of the Lake."
As if realizing something, the holy blue pupils contracted violently.
“Father, father, father…”
Rin, who had just entered the teenage stage, sat beside Tokiomi's bed, holding Tokiomi's arms tightly with both hands, and kept calling out to her most respected relative, as if this could call Tokiomi back from the Sanzu River.
Sakura stood beside her sister, pursed her lips, her purple eyes filled with sadness.
No matter what, Tōsaka Tokiomi is her father, blood is thicker than water.
This was exactly the scene that Yan Ye saw when he walked in.
雁夜
If I am guilty, please let Shuoyue punish me instead of letting me see this scene.
The originally somewhat sad mood suddenly disappeared, and Yanye leaned against the door frame and said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "So, why did you call me here?"
Hearing Kariya's voice, Tōsaka Tokiomi suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils just regained focus before dilating again.
He confessed the love he had kept deep in his heart to his two daughters, apologized to his lover, and entrusted his affairs to him - at this moment, the fire of life of Tōsaka Tokiomi was as shaky as a kerosene lamp that was about to burn out.
But he still had something to say, even if those words would shatter the self-esteem that he had always been proud of.
“Kariye, I have one last request from you—Sakura is in your hands now.”
"understood."
Also, help me take good care of Aoi and Rin!"
"!!!"
Kariya widened his eyes, looking at the man who was staring at him stubbornly despite his distracted gaze. For the first time, he felt that he had lost to him.
"You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing!"
"Then I can rest assured..." The last worry in his heart was finally put down. Toosaka Tokiomi took a last look at the people he loved around him, slowly closed his eyes, and finally stopped his labored breathing.
The head of the Tousaka family, Tousaka Tokiomi, died in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
The man's arms slumped down, and the girls' heart-wrenching cries rang out. Aoi cried so hard that she was out of breath and almost fainted. Kariya stared at Tōsaka Tokiomi for a long time, and finally staggered upstairs. He was in no mood to deal with the sudden appearance, and instead called Sakutsuki down.
After calming the girls down, he declined Sakutsuki's offer of companionship and escorted them and Tohsaka Tokiomi's body to the Zenjo residence alone. Half an hour later, Kariya returned to the deserted Matou residence with empty hands and a lonely look on his face.
No, I take that back—it’s not deserted at all!
Along with the sound of pots and pans colliding, the aroma wafted into the air, making Matou Kariya's appetite whet.
Under Yanye's shocked gaze, Shuoyue, wearing an apron, manipulated the spatula with ease, and after skillfully stir-frying, another delicious dish with good color, aroma and taste came out. It was served on a plate and transported to the dining table in the courtyard by replacement magic.
The petite ones and those wearing black armor sat at the dining table like elementary school students, waiting for Kariya's arrival (although a certain Daimo's rationality was already shaky...).
"What are you..."
"Are you back?" Shuoyue put away her utensils, took off her apron, and then gave Yanye a malicious smile.
"Do you want to eat first, or--"
"Eat me first?"
Chapter 163 Round Table Civil War
"Shuoyue, you must respect the dead. Her eyes never left the table, but the king's reserve still allowed her to advise someone against his improper conduct.
"I'm not being disrespectful, my king." Sakutsuki waved his hand at the stunned Kariya, signaling him to come back to his senses. "As the saying goes, 'Zhuangzi's wife died, and he sang and beat basins.' Although Tōsaka Tokiomi did not live a long and happy life, as a magus, he died on the road to pursuing the root, which is a worthy death. It is worth holding a grand banquet to comfort the dead and comfort the hearts of the living."
Especially Kariya, before he died, Tokiomi entrusted Aoi and his two daughters to you, right?"
