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

She did learn it, but Teacher Orange's evaluation was that she had no talent for puppet magic at all, so she only learned the basics. Later, she specialized in modern Western-style golden magic, which still didn't make her any money.

Due to limitations in skill level and materials, it is impossible to make magic puppets.

Am I really going to start making figurines?

No, no, absolutely not.

If her classmates found out that the young lady of the Tohsaka family had gone bankrupt and started making figurines to make money, they would definitely laugh at her.

Especially that wretched golden drill!

Moreover, Rin Tohsaka didn't know how she would punish herself if she found out that she used puppet magic to make figures. For a moment, she had no good ideas.

At this point, Luo Wei gave her a suggestion.

"If you don't have money, you can borrow some first."

"borrow?"

Upon hearing this word, Rin Tohsaka looked somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, if you can't think of a solution, just borrow it."

Luo Wei nodded, then turned around and said with a mischievous grin, "Just contact your sister to borrow some. Although we haven't seen each other in a long time, with Kenneth-sensei around, Sakura, whom Orange is raising, certainly won't be short of money, right?"

"Let me see if our young lady of the Tohsaka family can really swallow this shame."

This guy!!!

"You bastard! Don't push your luck! Even if you look down on people, there's a limit, right? How could I possibly do something so shameful! Asking my sister for money or something! Is that how you see me?!"

Rin Tohsaka suddenly moved closer and grabbed Luo Wei by the collar. "Even if I starve to death, I would never go to my own sister for something like this!"

"Is that so? Then Rin Tohsaka really does have a lot of backbone."

Luo Wei smiled slightly, "You feel ashamed that you, as the older sister, have ended up in this state, right? And most of the reason for this is your own doing."

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's lips twitched.

Having had her secret exposed by Luo Wei, she now felt a strange sense of guilt.

After all, her father already gives her a lot in living expenses, which amount to several million a year.

Back in London, she had her own workshop, and the only expense was some magic materials. And because of Orange's reputation, her magic materials were discounted. So, theoretically, it should have been more than enough to cover a year's expenses; it's just that she squandered it all.

"If you don't want to borrow from your sister, that's fine too. I can lend it to you."

At this moment, Lovi continued to speak to Rin Tohsaka with a smile.

As he spoke, he dropped a gold brick from mid-air, making Rin Tohsaka unable to look away.

"Will you lend it to me?"

Rin Tohsaka looked at Luo Wei with a suspicious expression.

She sensed a conspiracy.

"Yes."

Luo Wei nodded, playing with the gold brick in his hand.

"You wouldn't..."

Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka's expression became even more complicated. She gave Luo Wei a deep look, and then uttered a startling statement: "You want interest to compound, right?!"

"..."

Luo Wei said speechlessly, "Interest compounding? I'm a hedge fund manager, how idle would I be to try and make money off a poor guy? What kind of image do you have of me?"

"Then why..."

"Of course, it's because I'm your elder."

Before Rin Tohsaka could finish speaking, Lovi directly answered her question.

"Although due to some things, the age difference between us is not that much now, but because I am your sister's adoptive father, I am at most your half-elder, so isn't it normal for me to help you out a little?"

I might tease you when we meet, but I wouldn't go so far as to bully you, would I?

"Is that so...?"

Hearing Luo Wei's answer, Rin Tohsaka was inexplicably moved.

You should know that she has always regarded Lo Wei as a very bad guy.

After all, it was because of him that he and his sister were separated for so long.

Although when they met again later, she saw that her younger sister was not only not being bullied, but was actually doing better than at home, and seemed happy and had made new friends, which made her feel more relaxed and less hostile towards Luo Wei, some childhood prejudices still remained, which is why she wanted to cause trouble for Luo Wei.

Hearing these words, she suddenly felt ashamed.

However, after thinking it over, Rin Tohsaka made a choice that surprised Lovi somewhat.

"Forget it, although what you just said touched me a little, I don't need it."

"why?"

Luo Wei raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Because my father taught me that one should take responsibility for one's own actions."

Rin Tohsaka replied seriously, "Since I caused this mess myself, I'll definitely have to clean it up by myself. I don't need anyone else's help. Besides, if I accept your help, I won't be able to hold my head up in front of you."

"He has backbone, which is beyond my expectations."

Having understood her meaning, Luo Wei nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time praised her, "It seems that Tokiomi Tohsaka's upbringing is quite good."

"Of course! I am Rin Tohsaka, so let me tell you, I will never be defeated by such a trivial matter!"

Rin Tohsaka snorted coldly, then her fighting spirit was rekindled, and she said confidently, "I won't let you, you big idiot, laugh at me!"

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei responded with a calm but polite smile. He glanced at the house and said quietly, "Although it's impressive, such a big house must have very expensive utility bills over the years, right? And... has Lady Rin Tohsaka decided what kind of job she wants to do? Don't you still have the Holy Grail War to participate in?"

Rin Tohsaka was slightly taken aback.

She seems to have forgotten about it.

There is only one week left until the Holy Grail War begins.

Where should she go to earn money?

Rin Tohsaka's expression showed that she had completely forgotten about it, and Lo Wei also smiled.

He had already learned when he explored the city's ley lines that the Holy Grail War had begun in less than a week.

Furthermore, according to Rin Tohsaka, Sakura and Touko should also be coming. So he doesn't need to run around everywhere; he can just wait here to meet them.

Moreover, he can stay here for the next few days and watch Rin Tohsaka, that unlucky kid, do her thing.

"Hmm, this is really something to look forward to. Tohsaka Rin, who's penniless, actually has to work hard to make a living. Jewel magic is very expensive, you know~"

Luo Wei reminded her.

"It's just a mere gem magic trick, it's no challenge for me at all. I can just not use it..."

Rin Tohsaka continued to stubbornly hold on.

"The idea is good, but I think it's completely impossible."

"why?"

Luo Wei looked at her calmly and said, "Let me remind you, the Holy Grail War is not as simple as you think. If you don't take it seriously, you could lose your life. You'll understand once you look at the information your father left behind."

"Huh?"

Rin Tohsaka was slightly taken aback. "How do you know so much about the Holy Grail War?"

"because……"

Luo Wei raised an eyebrow, then a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, "The winner of the last Holy Grail War is standing right in front of you. Moreover, both Kenneth-sensei and Aozaki Touko were present in that Holy Grail War, and even your proudest father was defeated by me."

Rin Tohsaka's eyes widened: "What?!"

"So enjoy it! The upcoming Holy Grail War will surely become an unforgettable memory for you."

Luo Wei stood up, smiled, and waved, preparing to leave for a while.

Since it's a rare opportunity to revisit familiar places, he really wants to see how his old acquaintances are doing now.

Chapter 357 Kotomine Shirou

Time: Evening.

Location: Inside the Forest Cathedral in Fuyuki City.

In the afternoon, after watching Rin Tohsaka perform the Tohsaka family's ancestral lapse in judgment in front of him, and confirming that she was in good condition, Lovi, in order to prevent her from making any mistakes later, gave her the Holy Grail War materials left by Tokiomi Tohsaka, asking her to read them carefully, hoping to change her somewhat frivolous attitude through learning.

As for him, he went to the church in Fuyuki City to find the priest who had changed the most and gained the most in the last Holy Grail War, hoping to learn about the state of the world from him.

After all, judging from Rin Tohsaka's expression just now, which looked like she was about to lose her dreams, it was clear that in the short term, Luo Wei had given up hope of getting any more information from her.

only……

"Lovi Crowley, one of the seven participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, is also Caster, the Queen of the Land of Shadows, and Scáthach's Master. Am I right?"

"Yes."

Faced with this sudden question, Luo Wei nodded slightly.

"Oh, it really is you! Although I saw your name in the records of the last Holy Grail War, I didn't expect you to be such a young magician. But that doesn't seem quite right, since almost ten years have passed, you must be in your thirties or forties by now. So I guess you must have used some kind of magic or special means to preserve your appearance. But that doesn't matter. Although it's a bit abrupt to say this, I still hope you can tell me everything that happened in the Fourth Holy Grail War."

"For so many years, I've really wanted to know what happened during that bizarre Holy Grail War that made my stubborn, cold, and boring father, who was like a dead apostle, become the strange person he is today? He not only started earnestly expounding the doctrines and staying with me, but he even took on disciples!"

As soon as he entered, a graceful silver-haired girl dressed in a peculiar nun's habit pulled him to sit down.

At this moment, she sat at a table in the church and began to talk to Luo Wei about things related to Kirei Kotomine.

"..."

Looking at her eyes, which were full of curiosity and exploration, Luo Wei and Kirei Kotomine, who appeared beside her, couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Is it really appropriate to discuss your father directly with a stranger in front of him?

However, since the other party did this, it means she knows that Kirei Kotomine's personality would definitely not care about such a trivial matter.

And that is indeed the case.
