In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

This incident caused a huge uproar, but after the two monarchs intervened, the matter was completely quelled, and no one dared to say anything. Because Reines was still young at the time, she was also curious about what had happened, so she personally asked the parties involved.

"This is... a long story."

Upon hearing Reines's curious question, Rowe paused for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.

This might seem extremely strange to others, but he, as the person involved, knew it all too well. Because this was where his connection with Kenneth truly began.

At that time, it was more than a year after he came into this world. He claimed that he needed to adjust his mindset because of the death of his parents, but in reality, he stayed at home to improve himself, cramming on knowledge of magic and alchemy, and began to study the mysteries in the Book of Law.

Later, because he didn't go to class or leave home for a year, the teacher personally came to his door.

Since Kenneth was the Lord of Minerals, and Crowley's main business was alchemy, Kenneth had a good personal relationship with their family. The original owner of this body was Kenneth's disciple, but not his direct disciple.

Because of his parents' passing, the Crowley family lost the support of a top magician. In addition, he skipped school for a year and a half, which made his teacher Kenneth worried that he might become decadent and degenerate due to the pressure. So he went directly to his home to find him and wanted to bring him back to class.

However, at that time, Rowe was researching the angelic mysticism system with his powerful assistant, whom he had recruited from the other subjects of the Clock Tower. Having also deciphered some of the temple's spells, Rowe naturally didn't have time to return. But he couldn't possibly let Kenneth see the *Book of Law* or what he had been secretly doing. Otherwise, something terrible would definitely happen, and he might even be sealed away.

So, in a moment of inspiration, he took a portion of the Hall of Laws conjecture data that he had extracted from the Book of Laws, packaged it into his own patent from Aleister's ideas, and handed it over to Kenneth, saying that he had not wasted his time, but had gained new insights and research directions, so he was very busy and could not go back to class.

Kenneth initially scoffed at this, refusing to believe that Rowe, who had only just reached the [Opening Position] stage at the time, could have any brilliant ideas. He thought Rowe should just honestly inherit the family's alchemy and the El-Melloi school's alchemical magic; blindly researching would only be a waste of time.

Then, the groundbreaking concept of the Temple Technique, proposed by Aleister in the Book of Laws but which had remained undiscovered until today, was ruthlessly slapped in the face by Loewy.

This made him realize that he had been presumptuous.

After all, Kenneth was no ordinary person; he could naturally see the value of this thing. This idea, if not groundbreaking, could be described as revolutionary. If this data and research succeeded, it would be a major breakthrough that could compensate for the weaknesses of magicians except in positional warfare. By turning magic circles into their own sanctuary, they could set them up anytime, anywhere, as long as they had enough materials and equipment. Although there would be some reduction in power, they could set them up and activate them in almost a very short time, thus achieving 60% of the effect of a magician being in a magic workshop.

Then, Kenneth stopped urging Rowe to go back. Instead, he himself didn't want to go back and started staying at Crowley's house to work with Rowe on this groundbreaking idea.

Then, without the guidance of the *Book of Laws*, Kenneth struggled to achieve his goals no matter how hard he tried. While the theory of Temple Arts had a framework, breaking through it would be a task requiring generations of work. Just as he was preparing to buy the project from Rowe at a high price and hand it over to the Crowley and El-Melloi factions for joint research, Rowe, wanting to get rid of him quickly, had to extract more information from the *Book of Laws*, supplementing Temple Arts with much of the spiritual and alchemical knowledge. This transformed what Kenneth considered a century-long task requiring generations of accumulation into something achievable within their own generation.

Looking at the dense, ingenious data and information that Lowe had produced, Kenneth slapped his forehead and exclaimed repeatedly, "Crowley, you're a genius! How could you have come up with such a solution and such an improvement? How come I didn't think of that? I realize I may have misjudged your talent in some areas!!"

Originally, Rowe intended to hand this over to Kenneth and send him on his own to figure it out, but Kenneth was simply too outrageous. He could see that this was a super project no less significant than Aozaki Touko's achievement of "Replicating the Rune Plate," a research project that, once completed, could even allow one to directly reach the "Grand Rank." He had to admit that, compared to other research on Moon Spirit Essence Fluid for further breakthroughs, this Hall of Fame technique was more likely to propel him to that rank. However, while Kenneth's arrogance made him feel inferior, he never intended to claim the project for himself. In fact, when Rowe offered it to him, he was severely reprimanded by the other party.

"You idiot! You just handed over such a groundbreaking project like that? Do you know what that means? Do you think I'm jealous of this? Or do you think I can't reach Grand rank without it?!"

Although he was tempted, Kenneth didn't take it. Instead, he provided Rowe with countless resources to help him. In the end, in order to obtain this temple technique, he simply made a decision that went against his ancestors.

"Since you are my disciple, I won't take advantage of you. However, the Temple Technique can be a significant achievement for a Grand rank cultivator. So, become my personal disciple. Once you become a member of the El-Melloi School, this technique will belong to them. Conversely, once you become one of my people, I can help you with your research and refine it together. Rest assured, this achievement belongs to you; I won't take it away. You only need to prioritize selling the patent rights of the Temple Technique to El-Melloi. I will absolutely not take advantage of you, and if you need any materials or resources, you can always obtain them from my family. I will cover all research costs."

Then, by a twist of fate, Rowe became Kenneth's personal disciple, receiving preferential treatment from El-Melloi and no longer needing to attend classes. He was given full credits, and all he had to do was focus on his research and solve this project—that was more important than anything else. Kenneth even said that once he had completely perfected the Temple's techniques, Rowe would be qualified to inherit his school. (The implication being reaching the Grand rank.)

Lord Euryphus, Kenneth's mentor, after seeing this concept, said little about Kenneth establishing a successor. Instead, he was extremely envious of his student for finding such a heir. Once this technique was truly completed, the El-Melloi family's status would rise to an indescribable level, making it easy for them to surpass Euryphus. Therefore, he understood Kenneth's actions, as he himself would have done the same.

After all, a mere bloodline descendant is enough to inherit the family line; how can they compare to a successor of the demonic path?

then……

Because of the urging and encouragement from these two, Luo Wei had to report on his research progress regularly. This forced him to devote a significant portion of his energy to studying the Magic Temple through the "Book of Law," instead of focusing on restoring the angelic formula with his assistant. As a result, the guardian angel formula, which should have been completed long ago, was directly mixed with alchemy and used without any testing, and it even made its first appearance in Fuyuki City.

If his assistant, who stayed at home, knew that he had acted so recklessly, she would definitely scream out loud.

"So that's how it is..."

"Making the magic workshop portable and simplifying the palace techniques... Just hearing about it makes one yearn for it... Being able to create your own grand magic during the early stages of your career, elder brother, your talent is truly extraordinary..."

Upon hearing that Lowe had created magic that amazed Kenneth during the Opening Period, Reines's face showed a thoughtful expression.

At this moment, she could fully understand her uncle's actions and realized that Lowe was completely different from someone with some talent like herself; he was a true genius no less than Kenneth.

The techniques of the temple, just hearing about them makes one yearn for them. If only I could be like him, wouldn't that be...?

“Oh, are you interested in my magic, Reines?” Rowe asked.

"Yes, of course. After all, it's a spell that even my uncle praised. As a magician, I naturally want to see it with my own eyes." Reines nodded in agreement. Hearing such a grand magic trick that transcends the norm, any magician would be filled with longing.

"I see..."

Seeing the uncontrollable longing in Reines's eyes when she mentioned the spell, Luo Wei smiled slightly, then lowered his head and said softly to her, "Since you're interested, I can teach you... However, temple spells are indeed not easy to master. If you want to learn them, you may have to put in some effort and also have some talent."

"Huh...what?!"

Upon hearing what Rowe suddenly said, Reines, who was sitting next to her, was slightly taken aback. She was so surprised that even the composure and elegance that she had been wearing on her face disappeared in the face of Rowe's sudden words, and the black tea in her hand spilled out.

"Ah! I'm sorry, elder brother, I..."

The scalding hot tea spilled onto her slender hands and beautiful dress, the intense heat bringing her back to her senses. Reines, sitting beside her, realized her lapse in composure. She picked up her teacup again, looking at Rowe somewhat awkwardly, her expression filled with apprehension, fearing her actions might have left a bad impression on her brother.

"It's okay..."

However, Lowe simply smiled at this situation, not surprised at all, because he had noticed Reines's awkwardness and restraint during their first meeting. He took it as Reines being nervous about meeting him for the first time and naturally didn't pay it much mind.

He then slowly extended his broad palm and gently grasped Reines's small hand, which had been scalded by the red tea. He then silently chanted an incantation: "Fortunately, Angel of Healing, whose spirit is the gentle breeze that rises from the mountain, and whose golden robe shines like the sun. Dispel the pain, Raphael."

As the incantation was silently chanted, a gentle breeze suddenly rose beside my ears, even though I was inside the closed car.

Then, to Reines' astonishment, her scalded hands and calves were completely healed in just one breath, without any pain.

"Brother..."

Reines looked at Rowe in surprise, then looked at her fingers in disbelief. To her, everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion. If it weren't for the stains still on her dress, she would have really thought she was dreaming.

After all, she had seen healing magic before, but she had never heard of anything like Luo Wei's ability to heal wounds completely with just a light touch.

Is this... a miracle?

Although she knew it was impossible, Reines still had this idea.

On the other side, Lowe took out a tissue and wiped her skirt, then reached out and touched her little head, asking gently, "Does this stop hurting, Reines?"

"Yes, thank you, elder brother!"

Reines nodded slightly, reverting to her normal self. Even her previous disguise seemed to have been blown away by the gentle breeze, completely gone. Her bright emerald eyes, along with the gaze within them, were now completely captivated by Rowe's deep eyes.

"Brother, what was that just now..."

She murmured softly.

"It's just a little trick of mine, so don't overthink it. You don't need to be so reserved in front of me; just be yourself at home. Even though you're a magician, you're still a child. In my opinion, you should be enjoying your happiness and life right now. There are many worries, but you might as well leave them for the future."

"Also, Reines, stop calling me 'elder brother' all the time. You can call me Lovi or elder brother, I don't care about these family formalities. And after I go back, you can come to my family to find me anytime, and you can keep Sakura company."

As he spoke, a warm and gentle smile appeared on Lowe's face. He reached out and gently stroked Reines's head, using his warmth to ease the tension in the usually reserved girl's heart.

"As for the temple technique I mentioned earlier, I can still teach you if you want to learn it."

“Really? Brother… no, Lovi…”

Reines was somewhat incredulous at what was happening, after all, no one had ever spoken to her like this before, nor had anyone ever been so gentle with her.

Everyone in her family, whether relatives or her parents, treated her like a tool. Even her Uncle Kenneth was only kind to her because he needed her to do something.

But why is it that this person, whom I've only just met, can show me such pure kindness? And it's selfless kindness, genuinely good to her.

Reines was puzzled.

"Of course, you can pinky swear if you don't believe me."

In Loewy's view, extending kindness is just like saving lives; no reason is needed. Anyway, the temple's techniques will be sold to Professor Kenneth anyway, so there's no problem with teaching El-Melloi in advance.

"Brother..."

Feeling the warmth from her palm and gazing into Rowe's pure eyes, Reines felt a surge of indescribable emotion. Her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears, and she lowered her head.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else that hurts?"

Seeing this, Luo Wei quickly continued to examine her body, but—

"Pfft, no way~ Your magic trick is amazing, I'm perfectly fine. Anyway..."

Reines shook her head and began to ramble on.

"Thank you, elder brother. I look forward to guiding you for the rest of my life."

This time, her words were completely genuine, and her face was free of pretense. With tears in her eyes, she gave Luo Wei the most genuine smile she had ever shown in her life.

At this moment, she could no longer maintain the calm she had always known.

Reines looked at the young man in front of her with a gentle and happy expression, silently giving thanks for everything she had done in her life.

'Very good……'

'It's so wonderful to meet you at a time like this...'

I hope you will guide me for the rest of my life, elder brother, no—

'My husband...'

……

I have a bad cold, but I still got up to update this post.

I'm going to take a nap. I'll write the next chapter after I wake up.

I originally wanted to separate them, but I think they look better together.

I think Reines is pretty cute, hehe~

I'm not very good at writing romance scenes, and I can only write them to a level that I think is acceptable. Please forgive me, everyone.

However, the assistant mentioned in this chapter is quite interesting. Why not guess which old friend he is? He's about to make his appearance; everyone here knows him and has seen him before, and he's a very famous person.

Chapter 104 We All Have a Bright Future

London, England.

El-Melloi Estate, a luxurious mansion.

At this moment, Kenneth was holding a thick stack of documents and was overwhelmed by the mess that had happened before.

Well……

Leaving aside the mess of the Holy Grail War—those issues are too heavy to handle in a short time—the Spiral Mansion and the Holy Church have come to demand answers, not to mention the other two departments of the Mage's Association, the Atlas Institute and the Wandering Sea, are also interested. Resolving this matter will not be a quick task; he will have to work with the other aristocratic families to deal with it gradually.

However, his teacher, the leader of the Lord Euryphal faction of the Summoning Department, became deeply interested in the Holy Grail War when he heard that a magician named Machiri Zorgen from hundreds of years ago had actually realized the outlandish idea of ​​summoning Heroic Spirits. He began to search for and study the notes left by Machiri Zorgen in the Clock Tower from hundreds of years ago.

While Bartholomew was intrigued by the intriguing ritual, he didn't find anything particularly noteworthy about it. However, her confidence as the uncrowned king of the Clock Tower made the so-called Servants less appealing to her; after all, this was still the era of modern magicians.

The Animusfia faction, which had little to do with this matter, was the most interested in it. Just a day earlier, Marisbury Animusfia, the "Lord of the Celestial Sciences (Animusfia)," had personally visited to inquire about the specific details of the Holy Grail War and intended to study it in depth.

Kenneth didn't understand what these people were thinking, nor did he care to. After the harrowing experience in Fuyuki City that nearly cost him his life, he really didn't want to touch anything related to Heroic Spirits or the Holy Grail anytime soon.
