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

Her family's accommodation fees are definitely not easy to earn.

"Take it."

After stacking up the mountain of clothes, Rin Tohsaka pointed to the pile of wrapped clothes and gift boxes, her eyes filled with anticipation, and she could barely suppress the smile on her lips.

She wanted to see Lovi looking distressed.

However, I was really underestimated...

Having understood Rin Tohsaka's intentions, Luo Wei smiled helplessly, then simply raised his hand.

Then, to Rin Tohsaka's astonishment, dozens of golden light gates immediately appeared behind him, from which the Chains of Heaven shot out, precisely binding each gift box and dragging it directly into the treasure vault for storage.

"let's go."

After resolving everything, Luo Wei turned his head and looked calmly at the incredibly surprised Rin Tohsaka beside him.

"You, you... what was that just now?"

Rin Tohsaka pointed to the disappearing portal behind Lovi, her expression one of utter astonishment.

"It's just a little trick, you don't need to worry about it."

With that, Luo Wei snapped his fingers, opening another portal to demonstrate for Rin Tohsaka.

He also made sure to offer an explanation.

From the very beginning, the shop assistant was manipulated by his suggestive magic and hypnosis, so she didn't care about his behavior and didn't need to worry about the mystery being revealed.

So……

"Is there anything else you want to buy?"

Luo Wei blinked and looked at Rin Tohsaka again, asking, "If that's all, we can go back now."

"How...how is this possible?"

Rin Tohsaka paused for a few seconds, then rallied and said, "This is just the clothes; there are also pants, shoes, and jewelry. This is just the beginning. Is your treasure trove big enough?"

"You can give it a try."

Luo Wei raised an eyebrow slightly.

So after fooling around with Rin Tohsaka for an afternoon, the final outcome was naturally that Lovi would take whatever he could get his hands on and throw everything into the treasure vault that Gilgamesh had given him.

In the end, Rin Tohsaka, looking at the bottomless treasure vault, was defeated.

At that moment, Luo Wei, with a lollipop he had bought from a roadside stall dangling from his mouth, walked behind her and asked curiously.

"You've spent so much money in just one day, aren't you worried about going bankrupt? You've probably already spent several million yen by now, haven't you?"

"What are you talking about?" Rin Tohsaka twirled her designer handbag. "The Tohsaka family has plenty of money, you know? Do you think just anyone can afford to play with jewel magic?"

"That's true, but..."

Lo Wei's expression turned somewhat strange.

Although Rin Tohsaka spent lavishly throughout, for some reason, he had a feeling that Rin Tohsaka would become very poor.

"Where did you get so much money? Did you earn it through your research?" Luo Wei asked curiously.

"How could that be? All the money they earned from research was used to buy gems."

"Then how did you..."

“It’s my father’s allowance.” Rin Tohsaka waved her hand and replied, “My father and mother left me a card when they went out. It said it was for my living expenses. I didn’t expect there to be so much. I guess my father has made a breakthrough in his research recently and made a lot of money, so he gave me so much allowance as pocket money.”

“But it should be almost gone by now, right?” Luo Wei said calmly.

"So what?"

Rin Tohsaka crossed her arms and said nonchalantly, "Isn't the so-called living allowance just a monthly allowance? And this month is almost over anyway, so it doesn't matter if I spend it all, right? After all, I'm the young lady of the Tohsaka family, so I'm quite wealthy."

That's really rich...

Luo Wei's expression remained somewhat strange.

Even though that's what Rin Tohsaka said, he still had a bad feeling about it.

Just as they got home, a phone call came in from another country.

Rin Tohsaka gently pressed the answer button, and upon hearing the voice on the other end, her expression immediately turned to surprise and delight.

"Father!"

The reason was simply because the person making the call was Tokiomi Tohsaka.

However, as the call continued, Luo Wei soon noticed that Rin Tohsaka's face, which had been beaming with smiles, was gradually turning into one of pain.

Because the first thing Tokiomi Tohsaka told her over the phone was...

"Rin... the Tohsaka family is almost bankrupt now."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this news, Rin Tohsaka was stunned for a moment, and then her brain completely shut down.

This is just right!

Chapter 356 The Tohsaka Family Affairs

Which side will the tennis ball land on after it bounces off the net?

No one knows the answer, or perhaps only God and fate do.

Similarly, sometimes you can't be too happy too soon, because you never know whether an accident or tomorrow will come first.

This is precisely why life has its ups and downs, and why there are sayings like "extreme joy turns to sorrow."

This happens frequently.

After all, life is inherently unsatisfactory and unpredictable. It's like some families that are clearly extremely poor, but one day the parents suddenly say, "We're not pretending anymore, we're laying it all out on the table. We're very wealthy. The hard times we endured before were just to toughen you up."

The reversal of reality is inherently illogical.

However, the exact opposite possibility is not necessarily impossible.

Just like right now—Tokiomi Tohsaka is earnestly telling Rin Tohsaka the harsh reality that his family has gone bankrupt.

"It's bankruptcy? Hmm, things are suddenly getting interesting."

Luo Wei caught the key words spoken by Tokiomi Tohsaka, and after glancing at Rin Tohsaka's expression of existential doubt, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, a smile that was even harder to suppress than Ak's.

"Bankruptcy, in this context, means..."

He deliberately drew out his tone.

"Wait, please wait a moment!"

But before he could finish speaking, Rin Tohsaka interrupted him with an incredulous tone and an even louder voice.

She raised the phone with trembling hands, then asked Tokiomi Tohsaka on the other end in a shaky voice, "Father, you must be joking, right? How could our family suddenly go bankrupt? Our family businesses and companies are still there, aren't they?"

"Sigh... I really wanted to tease you, but Rin, this time I'm serious."

On the other end of the phone, Tokiomi Tohsaka sighed softly, then said very seriously, "Our family is truly bankrupt now."

"This, how is this possible..."

Upon hearing this answer, Rin Tohsaka felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, as if the sky had fallen. However, after a moment of stunned silence, she quickly patted her face and asked in return:

"Father, why would our family suddenly go bankrupt? We are the number one family in Fuyuki City. Anyone can go bankrupt, but our family is the only one who shouldn't, right? Father, please tell me this is a joke."

Rin Tohsaka was so anxious she was about to cry.

"Although you say that, the fact is that our family has indeed gone bankrupt."

Tokiomi Tohsaka said with a hint of helplessness, "This is an unchangeable fact."

"But the Tohsaka family uses the richest jewel magic...!"

"Don't you think that using gemstones as a medium for magic, and going bankrupt, is actually quite normal?"

Luo Wei sat on the sofa, then watched Rin Tohsaka's current predicament with a look of pleasure, and said slowly.

"But we're not the only ones using gemstones as a medium, are we?"

Rin Tohsaka retorted loudly, but Luo Wei's quiet words came out a moment later.

"But other people, your family lineage, can't compare."

"First of all, your family's ancestor, the Jewel Mage, used a jewel magic technique whose medium originated from a parallel world and is inexhaustible. On the other hand, Kenneth, the teacher of the Mineral Department, comes from a ninth-generation family, the old London Union Jack, whose accumulation is far greater than that of your Tohsaka family. The jewel magic I used before was made by myself using alchemy. So, considering all of this, isn't it normal for your Tohsaka family to go bankrupt by using jewel magic?"

As he spoke, he gave Rin Tohsaka a live demonstration of gem-making in alchemy.

Rin Tohsaka: "..."

That makes perfect sense, but!

"Gemstones created through alchemy are completely unbecoming of a nobleman's temperament, aren't they!"

Rin Tohsaka immediately retorted loudly.

"So your family, in order to highlight your so-called aristocratic air, has gone bankrupt by making yourselves look respectable?"

Luo Wei raised an eyebrow at her slightly.

"How could that be? A little magic trick like that couldn't possibly bankrupt them. Don't underestimate the Tohsaka family's wealth; their businesses are all over Fuyuki City!"

Rin Tohsaka continued to refute Lovi's words.

That's what they say, but—

"Do you have friends with you, Rin?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka on the other end of the phone also heard other voices, but because they were quite far apart and Rin was shouting, he didn't recognize that it was Lo Wei.

"Yes, there is a really awful guy."

Rin Tohsaka gritted her teeth.

"Rin, you need to be mindful of your manners and get along well with your friends."

Tokiomi Tohsaka on the other end of the phone shook his head, then gave Rin Tohsaka a brief word of advice before speaking again: "I'm sorry, Rin, but the Tohsaka family's assets were almost entirely depleted ten years ago due to compensation for the last Holy Grail War."

"Huh?"

"In addition, due to investment reasons and joining some organizations and cultivating relationships during this period, most of the valuable items have already been sold off."
