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

"This..."

Upon hearing Luo Wei's question, Kirei Kotomine shook his head slightly and explained:

“There’s a reason for all this. Several years ago, when I went back to the church to pick up my daughter, Karen was treated harshly by the church because of her health condition, and they didn’t agree to let me bring her back. So I did some extreme things at the time, and being ordered to stay here now is a kind of punishment for me.”

About a few years ago.

Kirei Kotomine, unable to bear the way his daughter was treated at church, did something that shocked the church.

After Kirei Kotomine's repeated attempts to negotiate with the church to get Kallen back failed, no one expected that the most honest Kirei Kotomine would actually join forces with his fellow disciple, another extremely powerful agent, Hansa Serbandis, and the terrorist Kiritsugu Emiya. The three of them worked together to break into the monastery of the Holy Church and kidnap Kallen under the cover of night.

Although they did not kill anyone that time, their recklessness and collusion with outsiders offended the church's authority. The church ordered them to be arrested and severely punished, which caused a great uproar in the city. Some people even spread rumors that they had become heretics and joined the Dead Apostles.

Finally, thanks to the pleas of the two men's fathers and the guarantee of a senior member of the burial agency, the matter was successfully suppressed.

However, the outcome was that Kirei Kotomine, a highly talented individual who only needed to continue and was likely to join the Burial Agency's reserve force after future modifications, was permanently exiled to the Far East and could never return to headquarters. His fellow apprentice was also sent to the United States, forbidden from returning to headquarters, effectively cutting off his future.

As for Kiritsugu Emiya, he also managed to escape under Kirei Kotomine's arrangement, leaving the church's territory overnight. However, in order to avoid the limelight, he had to sever ties with Kirei Kotomine, and they haven't seen each other for a long time now.

Although Kirei Kotomine and his fellow disciples were severely punished by the Church and their futures were completely ruined, fortunately, neither of them cared about such things.

For Kirei Kotomine now, it's enough as long as his daughter is still by his side.

This is also an important reason why, although Karen still feels somewhat awkward about Kirei Kotomine now, she has always stayed by his side, trying to get along with him like a real daughter.

She also sensed a strange emotion called fatherly love in Kirei Kotomine. Although it was faint and clumsy, it was real.

"It seems that not only me, but you also have quite a colorful life."

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei also laughed, and he fully approved of Kirei Kotomine's actions.

He has fully become a father, a complete person.

Compared to the confused priest he once was, Kirei Kotomine has grown so much.

"It's just some things that have to be done." Kirei Kotomine shook his head and said, "But you're not wrong. It's indeed difficult for me to handle so many things by myself. So this time, I plan to bring my disciple with me to maintain order in this Holy Grail War."

"Your apprentice? You actually took on an apprentice?"

Upon hearing Kirei Kotomine mention his disciple, Loewe couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Yes, he's a very good kid, and more importantly, a champion of justice..."

When his disciple was mentioned, Kirei Kotomine couldn't help but smile, and a hint of pride appeared in his eyes.

"I believe he will do a better job than I and Kiritsugu Emiya."

This prompted Karen, who had been sitting and listening to their conversation, to finally complain.

"What kind of 'ally of justice'? He's just a busybody and a nagging idiot. That fool is just as troublesome as my father."

"Karen...don't speak ill of your senior brother like that."

Upon hearing this, Kirei Kotomine gave a helpless reminder before slowly revealing the truth.

"It's because you're always lazy that he has to urge you to do your homework together. Don't forget that your senior brother is responsible for your three meals a day."

"I don't care, it's all because he's too long-winded."

Despite Kirei Kotomine's words, he was met with Kallen's defiant gaze.

"Ugh……"

Seeing this, Kirei Kotomine felt quite helpless, and he couldn't help but feel that he was not quite qualified to be a father.

"Master, Karen, dinner is ready."

Just as he was about to say something more, a young male voice suddenly came from one of the rooms inside the church.

"I had just mentioned him when he arrived. He was really timely."

Upon hearing this voice, Karen raised an eyebrow slightly. "Your disciple has arrived, Father."

"I know."

"Master, Karen, come and eat."

Soon, a young man with red hair pushed open the wooden door and came out, calling to Kirei Kotomine and Kallen to come to the back for dinner.

"You are……"

However, when he came out of the kitchen after being busy all day and saw the unfamiliar figure of Luo Wei, his expression was somewhat surprised.

"It's so late, is anyone still coming?"

He glanced at Lo Wei, then at Karen and Kirei Kotomine beside Lo Wei, and couldn't help but ask Lo Wei curiously:

"Excuse me, are you a friend of Master?"

“That’s right, this is my friend, Shirou.”

Upon seeing him emerge, Kirei Kotomine introduced Lo Wei to him.

He then nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Luo Wei beside him again, and took the initiative to speak: "Let me introduce you, this is the disciple I just mentioned, and also my successor, Fujimaru Shirou. However, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble and affect his normal life, he is using the pseudonym Kotomine Shirou here. He is a very good boy, and I plan to let him inherit my mantle."

Upon hearing that he was a friend of his master, the red-haired boy named Kotomine Shirou, dressed in a black monk's robe, immediately became serious and began to introduce himself to Luo Wei.

"Hello, guest. I am Shirou Kotomine. Nice to meet you."

"..."

However, compared to the two boys who were earnestly introducing themselves, Luo Wei's eyes twitched uncontrollably as he looked at the scene before him.

He looked at the familiar face in front of him, completely ignoring what the other person had just said.

Luo Wei blinked, then couldn't help but ask the boy in front of him.

"You just said... what's your name?"

Chapter 358 The Morning of the Tohsaka Family

When the moon sets last night and the sun rises the next day, it signifies the start of a new day.

It was already dawn.

Around noon, Rin Tohsaka, who had spent the night in the basement cramming on Holy Grail War materials, groggily sat up from a table in the basement.

She first rubbed her stiff neck, then, yawning and still half-asleep in her pajamas, she swayed and pushed open the basement door, and as usual, her hair was all messy as she walked into the living room.

"Hey, good morning!"

Upon seeing her emerge from the basement, Luo Wei, who was leaning against the sofa, put down his morning newspaper, greeted Rin Tohsaka, and gave her a friendly reminder.

"Breakfast is on the table, you can go and eat it yourself."

"Yes, I understand... Father."

Luo Wei: "..."

A sleepy-eyed Rin Tohsaka answered Lo Wei that she understood, but her thoughts didn't seem to reflect that understanding at all. In fact, because her mind was so foggy, she completely forgot that Tokiomi Tohsaka was on a trip and that Lo Wei was the one sitting on her sofa.

Because she regarded Luo Wei as her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Rin Tohsaka lay sprawled on the sofa without any regard for her image. She was like a lazy cat, closing her eyes again, clearly preparing for a comfortable nap.

"..."

Sitting opposite, Luo Wei glanced at Rin Tohsaka, then at the clock on the wall.

It's about 11 a.m. now, with a time difference of about five minutes.

This prompted Luo Wei to exclaim, "Good heavens, it's almost 11 a.m., and he's still not awake!"

Is this the outrageous daily routine of contemporary college students?

Then, looking down at Rin Tohsaka, who was lying in front of him, completely relaxed and without any sense of vigilance, Luo Wei's lips twitched a few times.

"You don't seem to know at all, and besides... you've mistaken me for someone else."

He covered his forehead and looked at Rin Tohsaka, his tone somewhat helpless.

Clearly, the true nature of this seemingly elegant lady is quite shocking, or rather... the reality.

Not only was one button on her pajamas wrong, but because she slept in such a bad way, one of her pant legs was rolled up, exposing a long, white leg. Compared to all this, her messy hair... didn't seem so surprising.

Seeing that this guy was still so relaxed at this critical moment, Luo Wei didn't even think twice before picking up a phone and taking several photos of Rin Tohsaka's drooling face.

Click, click, click!

A series of crisp electronic sounds rang in her ears, and after a series of easy three-beats, the flashes of light before her eyes finally brought Rin Tohsaka back to her senses from her slumber.

"you are?"

She sat up abruptly, and when she saw Luo Wei's face and saw him taking pictures of her with his phone, her previously hazy thoughts suddenly cleared. She subconsciously and stiffly pulled at her loose pajamas.

"What...what did you just see?"

Rin Tohsaka, realizing what had just happened, spoke in a trembling voice.

"Don't worry, there's nothing there. Besides your sleepy, goofy look, we didn't capture anything... What?!"

Just as Luo Wei was about to answer, his eyes narrowed slightly.

In the blink of an eye, his figure once again crossed the barrier of space and appeared directly in another location in the Tohsaka family compound. The tea table that had just been placed behind him had been smashed into numerous fragments by Rin Tohsaka's deliberate punch.

"Give me the stuff..."

Rin Tohsaka suddenly turned around, stretched out her hand, and glared angrily at the nonchalant Lovi.

"Your morning grumpiness is really outrageous."

In response, Luo Wei simply rubbed his neck lightly, then looked at the messy living room and couldn't help but complain, "Even in this state, aren't you going to cherish your furniture? It's one of the few resources you have left."

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's expression froze, and then she looked at Luo Wei with anger.

"Mind your own business! Who gave you permission to take pictures of me without my consent! And you'll definitely blackmail me with these photos, won't you?!"

"Me... blackmailing you?" Upon hearing this, Luo Wei fell into deep thought, or rather, his brain momentarily went blank. He asked with some curiosity:

"Hmm, that is indeed a very good suggestion. So, Ms. Rin Tohsaka, what do you think I should extort from you? Or rather, what can I extort from you?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Luo Wei's serious question, Rin Tohsaka, who was still angry, couldn't help but pause for a moment before starting to seriously consider the question.

"Oh right, what can you extort from me?"

"Right, after all, you have no money now, and you're not as strong as me. Besides, I have no interest in your thin figure. So what do you think I'm extorting from you?"

Luo Wei smiled at her and said, "You really think too badly of others."
