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

So, is the clock tower the new kindergarten? And this lemon-headed uncle is her teacher...?

"Um, Lowe... is Professor Kenneth's current state really normal?"

Webber, on the other side, was also seeing Kenneth like this for the first time, so his expression was clearly one of extreme surprise, or even discomfort.

It's hard to imagine that the sharp-tongued Mr. Kenneth would show such a gentle expression, especially towards a little girl he had just met. Does Mr. Kenneth really like children?

But the truth is not as simple as it seems from the outside...

As a veteran member of the magic aristocracy, Kenneth was certainly not the shallow and incompetent person who simply valued appearance.

What he valued wasn't Sakura Tohsaka's appearance, something vulgar and meaningless; what he cherished was her unique magical talent!

With an imaginary physique and such top-tier bone structure, this talent is simply incredible...

Without exaggeration, judging from the panel data alone, this little girl's talent is even higher than his; she can simply be called a treasure of the magic world! It's hard to imagine that such a miracle would appear so vividly before his eyes, which makes Kenneth very excited.

This talent, comparable to that of the gods, if guided in time, will undoubtedly make him a future monarch-level magician.

Even Kenneth, with his extremely high standards, gave Sakura Tohsaka a very high evaluation, and his gaze towards her revealed unparalleled satisfaction.

"Ahem, Mr. Kenneth, don't get so excited on our first meeting. Your enthusiasm will scare Sakura away."

Finally, after being reminded by Luo Wei and under Sakura Tohsaka's somewhat timid gaze, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Indeed, we shouldn't be too excited or too harsh when dealing with such a gem, such a genius; we should treat them with the same tolerance and care we would show to a lover...

This is to establish a good image for oneself as an elder.

Kenneth was dismissive of Weber's whispers; this mediocre fellow hadn't even grasped the essence of the matter.

"Hmph, Weber, what do you know, you useless fellow?"

"Do you know just how amazing this little girl's talent and aptitude are? It's no exaggeration to say that she has the potential to reach the same level of achievement as Barthezmello!"

As soon as his gaze left Sakura Tohsaka, Kenneth's attitude immediately returned to what it used to be, and he immediately gave Waver a lecture.

"Forget it, someone as mediocre as you can hardly understand this miracle... But coming to participate in the Holy Grail War this time has really been a lucky find. To actually acquire such a treasure is far more valuable than that fake Holy Grail, isn't it?"

"Hmph, I can already foresee the future, the complete rise of the El-Melloi school!"

In high spirits, Kenneth had no intention of arguing with Webber. He was now preoccupied with the prospect of the El-Melloi family rising to prominence after Rowe married into the family.

Not only will the Crowley family become completely inseparable from El-Melloi, but they will also gain two geniuses: one is Lovi, who has a high chance of achieving Grand rank in the future, and the other is a magical prodigy with the Imaginary Element physique. With him currently in charge, it is highly likely that they will achieve the feat of having three Grand rank members. When that happens, the influence of the entire El-Melloi school in the Clock Tower will undoubtedly reach a new level.

"Oh, Mr. Kenneth, it's one thing for you to always be thinking about me, but now you're even eyeing the little girl I just adopted? You even want to take her with you..."

Hearing Kenneth's undisguised ambition, Lowe felt somewhat helpless.

"Hmph, brat, dream on."

"Besides me, who else do you think is qualified to educate such a genius? You? Or that mediocre Weber?"

Kenneth scoffed dismissively, once again hurting the innocent Webber.

Luo Wei also felt somewhat helpless about this.

He did bring Sakura Tohsaka along partly to curry favor with Kenneth, since geniuses cherish each other, especially their own. Therefore, Kenneth naturally doted on this junior who was destined to join the El-Melloi school.

However, more importantly, the purification ritual on his side had already begun, filtering magical energy from the contaminated Holy Grail and the ley lines of Fuyuki City and starting to condense.

The magical power there is currently escalating rapidly, with the ether concentration almost returning to that of the Age of Gods. It's clearly inappropriate to leave a little girl like Sakura Tohsaka in such a harsh environment. Meanwhile, Touko Aozaki is still discussing the mysteries of the human body with Irisviel in the basement and has no time to care for her.

As for Scáthach? Let's not even talk about Scáthach. With her personality and way of doing things, it would be a blessing if Rowe didn't go out and cause trouble. Expecting her to take care of the little girl is not as good as hoping Gilgamesh would take care of the child.

However, Luo Wei was obviously not going to do something as foolish as hiding Sakura Tohsaka in some corner of Fuyuki City and then having someone discover her and raid her house. So he simply took Sakura Tohsaka with him for the time being.

In this perilous Holy Grail War, with himself and his three Servants present, he was clearly in the safest position.

Initially, Kenneth, the workshop owner, was dismissive when he heard that he had brought a little girl with him.

He believed that a genius like Luo Wei was clearly going against the righteous path by not studying the demonic path properly and instead adopting little girls. He did not remember teaching Luo Wei to be as degenerate as those lower-class nobles who kept children in captivity!

But he didn't say much. Anyway, he had so many floors under his control, so he wouldn't miss the chance to have a little girl's spot, as long as she didn't bother him.

And the result was...

Just as Loewy was actually bringing Sakura Tohsaka over, Kenneth cast a massive amnesia spell on himself, effortlessly forgetting his earlier disdainful attitude, and then did a complete 180-degree turn, staging the scene before Loewy and Waver.

From the moment he first saw Sakura Tohsaka, his eyes were glued to her, and his gaze never left her.

Not only that, Kenneth didn't forget to interrogate Lowe afterwards, constantly asking: Is this your adopted daughter? Where did you come from with such a talented little girl? And so on.

Luo Wei simply made up a reason for this.

He said that when he came to Fuyuki City, he visited the Tohsaka family and met Tohsaka Sakura there. At that time, Tohsaka Tokiomi was worried about the problem of the succession of magic and was unable to train two successors at the same time, so he took advantage of the situation and adopted the girl.

In any case, magic inscriptions have never been a problem for his family. Whether it's refining them using alchemy or dividing them, it can be done easily. Raising a girl with such outstanding talent is no problem at all.

Rather, he really made a fortune by securing such a successor.

Upon hearing this, Kenneth could no longer contain himself.

He first admired and envied Loewe's good fortune; then he began to criticize Tokiomi Tohsaka's behavior, saying that he was an incompetent man for giving away such a treasure because of a problem with the Magic Crest.

Then, remembering that there were actually two such treasures, he decided to act rashly and decided to lead Lovi and Waver to attack the Tohsaka residence, making that Gold Servant their first target, and also capturing the other magical prodigy, Tohsaka Rin, along the way!

Lowe and Webber naturally shook their heads vehemently at Kenneth's attempt to abduct a young girl.

They simply couldn't bring themselves to attack someone's home just to kidnap their daughter...

Furthermore, Loew was well aware of Gilgamesh's strength in this Holy Grail War. Although Mr. King was an obstacle he had to overcome in this Holy Grail War, now was definitely not the time to defeat him, so he decisively stopped Kenneth's absurd idea.

He must tell him to prioritize the overall situation, to prioritize the overall situation...

Not only Rowe, but even Finn felt that it was inappropriate to list the King of Heroes as the first target to be defeated, so he quickly advised Kenneth to give up this unrealistic idea.

"..."

After calming down for a while, Kenneth gradually realized that this act of snatching someone else's daughter was indeed inappropriate.

He was a monarch, not a bandit.

Furthermore, although the Tohsaka family hasn't had a long lineage, Tokiomi Tohsaka has a certain reputation within the Clock Tower because his ancestor, Nagato Tohsaka, was a disciple of the Jewel Elder. Tokiomi also leans towards aristocracy, making them kindred spirits. If word got out that he were to do something like this, the reputation of aristocracy would undoubtedly be damaged, and the democrats would use it against him.

After weighing the pros and cons, Kenneth reluctantly abandoned this tempting idea and decided to focus on getting through the Holy Grail War first.

However, he had already very naturally come to regard Sakura as one of his own family members.

Anyway, Loewy is definitely going to marry into his family and become one of his people, and Sakura Tohsaka is already one of Loewy's people, so rounding it up, she's practically one of his people! A member of the El-Melloi School!

This logic makes perfect sense!

Then her next boyfriend will be Lo Wei, and Lo Wei's next boyfriend will be this little girl, thus creating a continuation.

A family head with top-tier talent for three generations can absolutely guarantee the El-Melloi school's continued prosperity for hundreds of years to come!

Therefore, he completely changed his behavior in front of Weber, treating this little girl he was meeting for the first time as an elder.

He not only gifted a whole bunch of precious gems and magical artifacts that even Tokiomi Tohsaka would envy, but also specifically requested that Lovi bring Sakura to his place to study after he returned.

Luo Wei's main character is almost ruined, so this time he's going to personally train another genius successor!

In short, he was in a really good mood at this moment. Even the anger he had caused by those two rascals had vanished. A bright future awaited him.

Seeing Kenneth looking at him like an old general on a stage, Webber behind him was at a loss for words and could only sigh silently in his heart.

After all, unlike Kenneth, who is still very optimistic, he knew in advance the endings of Kenneth's other timelines.

The thought of Kenneth, the teacher who was still alive and well in front of him and had the energy to criticize him, possibly dying a violent death soon...

He still felt uneasy.

However, he raised his hand, as if to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to start the conversation.

You can't just open your mouth and say, "Mr. Kenneth, you're going to die..."

If that were the case, it would seem like he would only get a severe scolding, and that would be pointless.

Under Weber's pleading gaze, Lowe finally steered the conversation in the right direction.

"By the way, Professor Kenneth, has the result come out yet for that thing I asked you to analyze before I left?"

With a smile, Lowe asked Kenneth, who was looking rather smug.

As he spoke, he winked and held up two fingers, making a gesture that might anger a certain kimchi-loving ethnic group.

"What does this mean?"

Although Weber couldn't understand what Rowe was trying to say, Kenneth was all too familiar with Rowe's gesture.

He was gesturing to indicate the size of a bullet.

And before leaving, Lo Wei did indeed give himself a bullet, just one...

The terrifying bullet that chilled him to the bone, even enough to kill a monarch.

Thinking of this, the joy on Kenneth's face returned to calm.

"Hmph, it's over a long time ago. You think I'm... no, never mind, it's nothing."

Kenneth snorted coldly halfway through his sentence, then turned and glanced at Rowe without saying anything more, nor did he boast about his greatness and ability as a teacher because of his insignificant achievement.

As a monarch, he was not foolish, much less prone to fantasies and naivety like Weber.

The bullet contained virtually no technical sophistication; even a novice who had just embarked on the path of demonic cultivation could easily discern its secrets upon touching it.

Given this, how could his apprentice be troubled by something so trivial that he would specifically seek his teacher's help?

The cause and effect of the matter can be clearly understood with just a little thought.

He was reminding himself, and more importantly, advising himself to remain calm and to be cautious.

Even a tiny bullet could threaten the life of a monarch, so what about the other beings in this Holy Grail War?

If you're careless, even you could die...

"Although it was unnecessary, at least you have some conscience."

Looking at Rowe smiling at him, Kenneth gently shook his head, then spoke softly to Rowe in a voice so faint it was almost imperceptible. Rowe simply smiled slightly and did not respond directly.

Then, with a knowing look in their eyes, the matter came to an end.

However, compared to Lowe, Kenneth turned his gaze to Webber beside him, who looked completely bewildered and clearly didn't know what had happened, and his anger flared up again.

Considering that Luo Wei still cared about him, provided timely and important information, and brought him an outstanding genius, his previous sins could be completely forgiven.

As for Weber... he was still a mediocre talent who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
