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

"Yes, I'm all ready. Let's begin... I can't wait to personally join this thrilling Holy Grail War..."

Whether it was a murmur in his heart or a casual question and answer, the person finally stepped into a foreign land once again, smiled gently, held up the red umbrella in his hand, and gradually disappeared into the distance under the snow-covered Murong, silently losing his figure. His figure was like a wisp of ink rippling in the water until it disappeared at the end of the street.

—A brand new story has begun.

Chapter Two: A Visit to the Tohsaka Family (5K views, please add to your favorites!!)

Snow is always cold, just like a person's heart; it always feels cold.

……

The heavy snow is still falling...

Shortly after, a sleek yellow sedan sped through the snow from a distance and stopped not far from the outskirts.

It was around 6 p.m., in front of the main gate of the Tohsaka family mansion.

"I never expected you to know such an important figure from the Tohsaka family..."

The experienced taxi driver stopped by the roadside, looked at the luxurious mansion gate in front of him, sighed slightly, and then, driven by curiosity, couldn't help but ask, "Are they distant relatives?"

"No, I've only met the head of the Tohsaka family a few times."

Luo Wei shook his head, rummaging through his wallet as he answered the driver's question.

"That's still quite remarkable, after all, to be able to meet such an important person..."

"In that case... young man, would you like me to drive you into the mansion from the side gate?"

The driver straightened his gloves and then asked again.

"No need. The New Year has just passed. Since we're here to visit, it would be more sincere to knock on the door in person."

Luo Wei declined the driver's offer and handed him a sizable banknote. He didn't accept the change, thinking that since it was the New Year, even if it was their first meeting, he could ask for a little something for good luck. He considered the extra money as a New Year's tip. He then waved his hand, got out of the car, and snapped his fingers at the driver.

Hey.

A crisp sound.

Then he said, "Leave here, remember to delete the dashcam, and forget about bringing me here."

"OK……"

boom.

Soon, the car doors closed.

After Luo Wei got out of the car, the driver, who seemed a little dazed, nodded blankly, then stepped on the gas and sped out of the suburbs.

……

About five minutes later, at the entrance of the Tohsaka residence.

dong dong dong-

As Luo Wei walked up the stone steps to the door, he gently pulled the metal door knocker on the Tohsaka family's gate and banged hard on the steel door. The loud noise from the metal clashing startled the sparrows resting on the branches nearby, causing them to fly away.

"..."

However, after knocking for a while, there was still no response. Feeling the cold touch on his palms and looking at the iron door in front of him, which was stiff from the winter, Luo Wei couldn't help but feel speechless and helpless.

If you were visiting an ordinary family, even if you entered without permission, you would probably only be considered impolite and scolded by the host. At most, you would be kicked out as a thief. But if you were visiting the Tohsaka family, the situation would be completely different.

Unlike the common perception that home is simply a place to live, in the eyes of a magician, home actually has another, deeper meaning.

Home is a place where one stores one's research results, a refuge, and an inviolable sacred domain; it is a magic field or a magic workshop.

Therefore, if Luo Wei dares to force his way in or tries to sneak in, the magicians inside will notice and regard him as an enemy invading the workshop. In the eyes of the magicians, this is equivalent to declaring war.

So no matter how helpless he felt, Luo Wei could only obediently stand in the snow and knock on the door.

—Knock knock knock!

After a few minutes of no response, Luo Wei pulled the door knocker again and continued to knock obediently.

"Is the head of the Tohsaka family home? This is Lovy Crowley, the Clock Tower Magician and head of the Crowley family, here to pay my respects to the head of the Tohsaka family."

He raised his voice slightly as he knocked on the door, hoping the person inside would hear him.

At the same time, Luo Wei glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, and he could feel more and more the eccentricity and troublesome nature of these classical magicians.

Like some of the veteran magicians at the Clock Tower, Tokiomi Tohsaka is a quintessential retro magician who has completely missed out on the conveniences of technological advancements.

They're clearly prominent figures in Fuyuki City, wealthy enough to live in such a large mansion, yet they don't even have a doorbell. What era are we living in? They still have to use the old Edo-era method of knocking on the door knocker. It's truly baffling what they're thinking.

As for their contact information, it's even more outrageous. Who would believe that the prestigious Tohsaka family doesn't even have a telephone? Even if they wanted to send a visiting card in advance, they had to write a letter and have their familiar deliver it, which was not only troublesome but also very laborious.

Does Tokiomi Tohsaka really think this retro style is sophisticated? Or is it that the Tohsaka family fell behind during the Industrial Revolution?

If you're after excitement, why not go all the way?

Why not just throw away the incandescent light bulbs and the toilet too? A complete return to the medieval aristocratic lifestyle would be much more classy. Let's see how many days you can last.

Of course, Luo Wei could only silently complain to himself. After all, he was on someone else's turf. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Even as a noble from the Clock Tower, he should keep a low profile here. Moreover, he was here to abduct the other party's daughter, so his attitude had to be good and his manners had to be impeccable.

Suppressing his extreme displeasure, Luo Wei finally waited for the gate to open after standing outside the snowy gate for about seven minutes.

Squeak!

Hearing the sound of a metal structure being opened from the inside, Luo Wei, standing in the snow, quickly returned to his body.

"Welcome, Master Crowley."

As the door slowly opened, a refined and gentle male voice rang in my ears.

Then Luo Wei also turned his gaze in that direction.

After the gate opened, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance, a red goatee, and a well-fitting red suit walked out, holding a cane, and greeted Luo Wei, who had been standing in the snow for a while.

Silently following behind him was a green figure, a beautiful woman with long, flowing black hair, well-proportioned features, a voluptuous figure, and an aura of a Yamato Nadeshiko.

At this moment, during the New Year, she, as the mistress of the Tohsaka family, went out with her husband to greet this guest who had come from afar.

As for why he came out so slowly, it was because Tokiomi Tohsaka wasted some time choosing a suit so as not to lose the Tohsaka family's elegance in front of outsiders.

Although Aoi Tohsaka felt that making guests wait in the snow was more impolite than wearing a suit, she couldn't stop her husband's behavior and could only silently follow him out to greet the guests.

The red suit, the goatee, and that ever-present air of elegance—it was indeed Tokiomi Tohsaka. The famous "Nest of the World" from the Type-Moon universe was quite recognizable.

As for the other beautiful lady, she must be his wife, Aoi Tohsaka.

When the familiar-looking, well-mannered middle-aged man appeared before him, Luo Wei's gaze only briefly swept over the two of them before quickly withdrawing it. He then politely nodded slightly to them, offering a greeting.

"Happy New Year, Head of the Tohsaka family, and Mrs. Tohsaka."

"Happy New Year, and how have you been, Mr. Crowley?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka, who had just come out of the courtyard, smiled and nodded, then returned the greeting appropriately.

When dealing with a noble family like Luo Wei, who has a long and distinguished history in the Clock Tower, one must be polite and proper. As the host, the Tohsaka family must not be impolite and make a fool of themselves in front of the magical family from the Clock Tower.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lo Wei with a refined smile, Tokiomi Tohsaka extended his arm to guide the young man he had met in London a year ago, and his manners from beginning to end were impeccable.

"Please come in."

“Okay.” Luo Wei nodded gently.

Led by the host, Luo Wei strolled through the rather large courtyard, gradually taking in the scenery of the Tohsaka family garden.

Like those magical families who like to decorate their facades to showcase their prosperity, the Tohsaka family's courtyard is also luxuriously decorated.

Pebble paths, gardens, bushes, and a lighthouse inlaid with rubies—all the appropriate decorations were present, fully demonstrating the grandeur of the local tyrant and the wealth and prestige befitting a magical family.

However, while this worldly setup might seem impressive to ordinary people, it's really nothing special to Lo Wei, who is also a magician.

Is it luxurious?

There is a bit of that, but it's really just the normal level of the demonic path.

There wasn't anything particularly valuable among them; it couldn't even compare to his own family's furnishings. Compared to established noble families, it was far inferior.

After all, his teacher's family home was truly a place where the rich and powerful were openly displayed, their inhuman extravagance was completely on full display.

So, compared to those landscapes that were only impressive in appearance but had no practical use, what really concerned Luo Wei was the barrier formed by the ruby ​​lamp beads, the familiars scattered throughout the corners of the mansion, and the many magic circles hidden in the corners. The layers of defense arranged by these places could be said to have made the Tohsaka family's garden impenetrable.

It seems Tokiomi Tohsaka really values ​​his base; at least in Luo Wei's eyes, the level of security is that of a well-defended magical array. Luckily, he hadn't acted recklessly, otherwise dealing with these magical arrays would have been quite troublesome.

Luo Wei only glanced at it a few times, without investigating further or exploring on his own. Instead, he silently followed Tokiomi Tohsaka and talked with him. Following his steps, they bypassed the courtyard layout through a hidden side path and arrived at the front door of their house.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was quite pleased with this, and his fondness for Lo Wei silently increased slightly.

As expected of someone from a London aristocratic family, despite some family misfortunes, the nobility inherited in their bloodline has not been lost. They are very proper in terms of etiquette and manners, which pleases him.

Upon arriving at the entrance, Tokiomi Tohsaka gently pushed open the front door of his residence.

"Please come in, Mr. Crowley."

"it is good……"

Before Luo Wei could respond, the moment Tokiomi Tohsaka pushed open the front door, they suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps rushing down the wooden stairs.

"father!"

Immediately afterward, a vibrant but somewhat childish female voice reached his ears, causing Tokiomi Tohsaka's expression to stiffen and turn rather unpleasant.

Upon hearing the childish voice, Luo Wei's heart stirred, and he immediately turned his head to look. What came into view was a little girl running towards them, wearing a red butterfly hair clip, with black pigtails, and a cute, childlike face.

In Luo Wei's eyes, she was like a nimble little elf in winter, skipping and hopping to Tokiomi Tohsaka's side, and then affectionately grabbing his sleeve.

It wasn't until Luo Wei spoke up that she realized they had guests at home. She then looked at Luo Wei with curiosity and asked, "Who are you?"

"Rin, what kind of nonsense is this, acting so rashly? And how can you be so rude to guests? Have you forgotten the etiquette of the Tohsaka family?"

Witnessing his daughter's terrible performance, Tokiomi Tohsaka's face visibly darkened.

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

Hearing Tokiomi Tohsaka's somewhat displeased reprimand, Rin Tohsaka, who had been in a cheerful mood, couldn't help but shrink back, and the smile on her face withered like a dying flower.
