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

At that moment, Kirei Kotomine also took the initiative to greet Lo Wei when he saw that it was Lo Wei who had come to the door.

Understanding this, Luo Wei smiled as he looked at the father and daughter, whose interaction was still somewhat awkward, and then spoke to the silver-haired girl in front of him:

"Is there anything about the last Holy Grail War? Well, that's a long story. But you might be asking the wrong person."

“Although I was the victor that time, I didn’t have much contact with your father, so if you want to know the truth, you should let your father talk to you alone,” Luo Wei shook his head and explained.

How could this happen?

The silver-haired girl found it hard to believe.

"Alright, Kallen. Stop fooling around. There's no point in dwelling on the past. I've told you this many times. I wasn't impersonated. I just found what I was looking for during that Holy Grail War and understood some things I had lacked before... the feelings of being human."

"I'm still doing very well, I've never been better."

Kirei Kotomine explained to his daughter, grabbing her arm at the same time.

"And compared to me, how well did you do your homework today?"

Although the world is much safer now, as nuns in the church, daily prayers and combat training are still essential.

Previously, it was precisely because her father had spoiled Kallen too much that her training had been somewhat delayed. That's why Kirei Kotomine brought her to his side in recent years to teach her alongside his students.

“Wow, it’s Saturday today! Shouldn’t we have a day off? Isn’t it normal to work five days a week and have two days off these days?” Karen immediately retorted.

“Those are ordinary people, but we are not… I’ll guide you through this later.”

Upon hearing this, Kirei Kotomine shook her head and quickly dispelled her idea of ​​slacking off.

"How could this happen?!"

"There's nothing we can do, that's the rule."

Upon hearing this, Kirei Kotomine helplessly patted Kallen's head and calmly said.

"I'll come and keep an eye on you later."

Then, under Karen's shocked gaze, he uttered the horrifying words that he would catch up on his homework in a while and that he would personally supervise him.

"Ok."

Knowing that resistance was futile, Karen could only accept this tragic reality. Then she looked at Rowe and said quietly, "See? That's how things are now. He's been like this for many years. If I hadn't secretly taken his hair for a paternity test long ago, I would definitely have suspected that my father was being impersonated by someone."

Clearly, no matter how much time had passed, the changes that had taken place in Kallen's father, Kirei Kotomine, were so drastic that they were beyond her ability to accept.

"Kallen...we have guests here, don't cause trouble." Hearing this, Kirei Kotomine sighed helplessly, then grabbed Kallen's collar and obediently placed her back in her seat. He then looked at Rowe with a somewhat apologetic expression and said:

"I'm so sorry, this is my daughter, Karen. Because of some things that happened when she was little, we didn't get along very well. In addition, due to some things that happened in the past, I neglected to discipline her, so she's a bit too lively..."

She has indeed become quite lively.

Furthermore, her personality differed somewhat from what she had imagined Karen to be.

However, her personality doesn't seem as bad as before; instead, it has been replaced by liveliness.

As for his impression of Karen.

Lovi simply closed her eyes, and the next moment, the silver figure in the Fantasy Carnival who was bullying Cú Chulainn with a stack of banknotes involuntarily flashed through her mind.

That's so weird...

Let's think about it one more time.

However, in this flashback, Cú Chulainn seems to have been beaten up again.

Poor Dog Bro.

After thinking back for a long time, Lowe was surprised to find that his impressions of Karen were all of those rather strange images.

"..."

Seeing that his memories were fruitless, he paused his wandering thoughts and decided to stop overthinking for the time being.

Otherwise, the art style would completely go astray.

In any case, this change is good for both Kallen and Kirei Kotomine.

One child, with the guidance and companionship of their father, avoided the tragic events depicted in the original story and thus had a complete childhood. The other child, after realizing their true self, understood what was precious and began to cherish their partner.

It can be said that their lives have now achieved a wonderful complementarity.

"fine."

So, Luo Wei shook his head and then told Kirei Kotomine that it was nothing and he didn't care.

"It's good that you didn't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Kirei Kotomine turned to look at Kallen, nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze back to Loewe. He took the initiative to ask, "But, is there something you need to do back in Fuyuki City this time? Is it because of the new Holy Grail War, or are you simply here to visit us?"

"...Well, actually it's both. I came back in a bit of a rush this time, so there are many things I don't know. I wanted to come here to ask you for help. However, the reason I came to visit tonight is indeed to confirm your current situation."

"Our living conditions..."

Luo Wei picked up the glass of iced tea and took a sip, then sighed, "Because I came back so suddenly, there are many things that even I didn't really expect. And since I'm already here, I naturally wanted to see you Masters from the last Holy Grail War. However, let's leave aside the elusive Emiya Kiritsugu for now. The Matou family was burned down, and I don't know where Matou Kariya lives or whether he's still in Fuyuki City. Even Tohsaka Tokiomi went on a trip months ago. I searched all night and found that the only old acquaintance I could find here was you."

"I see..."

"Indeed, ever since I purified Zouken Matou, the two brothers of the Matou family, Zouken Matou and Tsuruno Matou, burned the entire Matou family to the ground. It is said that even the Matou family's magical scriptures and Zouken Matou's familiars were destroyed in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing Loewe mention Matou Kariya and Emiya Kiritsugu, Kirei Kotomine, as the one who brought down that Holy Grail War, clearly knew a lot of inside information, so he took the initiative to bring it up.

"Now, Matou Tsuruno runs a fairly large company in Fuyuki City and lives in the southern part of the city with his son, Matou Shinji. He has no intention of returning to the world of magic and has long been an ordinary person. Matou Kariya also left the city and has not returned since."

"I see. It seems everyone has gone to pursue their own lives."

Upon hearing about the Matou family's downfall, Loe nodded.

This ending was entirely predictable.

Because of the old insect, the entire Matou family had long become a den of demons. In addition, neither Matou Kariya nor Matou Tsuruno had any intention of entering the demonic path. Therefore, after Matou Zouken died, it was extremely correct for the two of them to make such a choice.

As for Kiritsugu Emiya...

Kirei Kotomine said that he had some contact with him a few years ago.

Because the other party had asked Kirei Kotomine for help after the Holy Grail War, the two of them masked themselves and stormed into the Einzbern family and kidnapped his daughter. It was because of this experience that Kiritsugu Emiya helped him a lot when he went to pick up Kallen later.

Their relationship grew much closer as a result.

As for Tokiomi Tohsaka, besides Kariya Matou and Kiritsugu Emiya...

"Did you just say the teacher went on a trip?"

When Kirei Kotomine heard this news from Lo Wei, his eyes showed some surprise.

"Yes, she has already left. It's obvious that she's not going to participate in the Holy Grail War. Now, only Rin Tohsaka is left in the Tohsaka family."

"Love said calmly."

"I see……"

Upon hearing this, Kirei Kotomine nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, which then gradually turned into relief and satisfaction.

Not long ago, when he heard that Aozaki Touko and London were planning to hold another Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, he was worried. He was concerned that Tohsaka Tokiomi wouldn't be able to let go of his obsession and would still plunge headlong into it, sinking into such a vortex. He had even recently been considering whether he should visit the Tohsaka family to dissuade his former teacher.

Despite the fact that his past mistakes had caused his relationship with Tokiomi Tohsaka to deteriorate to an almost irreparable point, Kirei Kotomine, who was starting a new life, still cared about his teacher and wanted to do something for him.

However, he did not expect that Tokiomi Tohsaka would let it go so easily. Not only did he not participate in the Holy Grail War, but he even left Fuyuki City to travel.

This made him suddenly understand a lot.

Indeed, humanity is bound to progress.

Over the years, I am not the only one who has grown.

Even Tokiomi Tohsaka has let go of his obsession...

Upon learning of this, Kirei Kotomine was also happy for his teacher.

It wasn't just Kirei Kotomine who was surprised; when he learned that Tokiomi Tohsaka had refused to participate, Luo Wei was also somewhat taken aback. Later, after reviewing Tokiomi Tohsaka's recent notes at the Tohsaka residence and through his conversations with Rin Tohsaka, he was able to roughly understand just how much Tokiomi Tohsaka had changed.

After experiencing that ordeal and death, he had let go of his arrogance and obsession as a magician. He also recognized his own achievements and limitations, no longer clinging to impossible fantasies, but instead entrusting his hopes to the next generation. As a father, he did his best to pave the way for Rin Tohsaka, wanting her to go further.

It can be said that Tokiomi Tohsaka is no longer the arrogant magician he once was; he is now simply a father who is doing his best for his daughter.

However, the thought that Tokiomi Tohsaka's good intentions had been thwarted by such an oddball as Rin Tohsaka made Luo Wei feel a bit of a headache for him.

After talking with Kirei Kotomine about the current situation of Rin Tohsaka, a participant in the Tohsaka family's activities, Kirei Kotomine was also somewhat speechless.

Honestly, he also found it hard to imagine how a man as meticulous as Tokiomi Tohsaka could raise such a daughter.

Is this what they call a sense of contrast?

However, these are all minor issues.

Now that Rin Tohsaka is participating this time, he can feel a little more at ease.

After all, this Holy Grail War is not a normal Holy Grail War prepared by the three founding families, but was initiated by London. Rin Tohsaka is a student of Touko Aozaki and a top student in London. No matter how you look at it, her safety can be guaranteed, and there should be no problem.

However, despite this, Kirei Kotomine has no intention of relaxing his efforts in the slightest.

Although theoretically he should be fine, as a survivor of the last absurd war, he wasn't taking any chances.

Therefore, in this Holy Grail War, he will once again serve as the overseer, taking his father's place and personally making amends for the mistakes made by the opponent last time. He will diligently fulfill his duties as overseer and referee.

"Yes, with you as my supervisor, I feel much more at ease."

Having learned of Kirei Kotomine's thoughts, Lo Wei nodded in affirmation.

With Kirei Kotomine as the referee, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

He then inquired about the other participants, including Kirei Kotomine.

Kirei Kotomine pondered this for a moment, then made no attempt to conceal it, directly revealing to Luo Wei the information he had received.

The target is known.

The Tohsaka family has one spot.

There are three spots available in London.

The remaining three spots are for foreign magicians, whose identities are currently unknown.

However, this Holy Grail ceremony was arranged by Aozaki Touko and many magicians a few years ago. At that time, it was notified and reported in Fuyuki City, and London was also aware of it. The Holy Church also expressed its permission, so he had no reason to stop it. He also notified Kirei Kotomine, the local church in charge, that he should send an agent to act as the referee for this ceremony.

Upon hearing this information, Luo Wei nodded and then expressed his gratitude to Kirei Kotomine.

Then, he thought for a moment, glanced at the somewhat deserted church, and asked Kirei Kotomine, "By the way, can you manage all this by yourself? Your church seems much quieter than it was ten years ago. Now that Tokiomi Tohsaka is gone, you can't count on Rin Tohsaka either. Handling the aftermath and dealing with the situation is a huge undertaking. Can you really manage it all by yourself?"
