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

"Of course, of course. Then, could the head of the Tohsaka family accompany me to see Sakura next?"

Luo Wei nodded slightly, then feigned concern and said, "If a stranger like me suddenly approaches and talks about adoption, the child might be very resistant."

"Of course. Compared to embarking on the path of seeking truth, a child's momentary impulse is nothing. She will understand in the future."

Tokiomi Tohsaka spoke up as a matter of course.

As a magician and the head of his family, once he makes a decision, he will not change it, and he will not care about his daughter's feelings.

From beginning to end, he never even asked Aoi Tohsaka, Sakura's mother, what she thought.

So, magicians...

They really are a bunch of monsters disguised as humans.

Incomprehensible values ​​are even more disgusting...

Luo Wei sighed inwardly.

……

Not long after, directly in front of the gate of the Tohsaka family garden.

As a mother, Aoi Tohsaka looked at Sakura with eyes full of reluctance.

She walked up to her daughter, then reached out and gently touched her tender face, her heart filled with maternal love and reluctance.

In stark contrast to Aoi Tohsaka's sadness, Tokiomi Tohsaka, as her father, displayed a completely different attitude. A smile graced his face, and his tone was filled with joy as he stood before Lovi, continuing to express his yearning for magic and our goals as magicians.

As for Aoi Tohsaka's reluctance to leave him, it was just a trivial matter in his eyes, because he knew that what he was doing now was the right thing to do, rather than letting personal feelings restrict and delay his daughter's future and potentially bring her trouble.

Although as a father, Tokiomi Tohsaka felt a strange, indescribable emotion as he handed his daughter over, he knew that it was all worth it, even more so than the future and happiness.

"Dad, are you really going to give my sister away to someone else?!"

Upon learning that Tokiomi Tohsaka was going to give his younger sister to someone else, Rin Tohsaka didn't even have time to change her clothes. Barefoot, she hurriedly chased after him through the snow, looking at her father with incomprehension.

"..."

To this, Tokiomi Tohsaka did not answer, nor did he reprimand his daughter for her rudeness. He simply raised his hand slightly and then instructed his wife to take her back.

Compared to her sister, Sakura Tohsaka, who now knew her fate, wasn't as agitated as one might expect. She tilted her head, then looked at her father with a puzzled expression and asked.

"I'm going to be adopted by the big brother, which means... Daddy and Mommy don't want Sakura anymore?"

"cherry--!!"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka, who was about to leave with Tohsaka, was taken aback, and even Tokiomi Tohsaka's usually calm expression underwent a dramatic change.

“Sakura, you mustn’t say that. Your father didn’t abandon you. He just sent you to a more suitable environment.”

Before Tokiomi Tohsaka could get angry, Aoi Tohsaka, as her mother, suddenly spoke up to comfort her daughter.

Although she was reluctant to send her daughters away as a mother, she was also very clear about the health conditions of her two daughters and her husband's attitude. Tokiomi Tohsaka had also explained the problems with Sakura and Rin to her.

Therefore, she understood that even if Luo Wei didn't come to propose adoption today, Tokiomi Tohsaka would take the initiative to send Sakura to another magical family.

The other party could be the Matou family, a magic family that has connections with the Tohsaka family and is based in Fuyuki City, or it could be the Edelfelt family, a Finnish family with ancestral ties.

This separation between mother and daughter was ultimately unavoidable.

"cherry!"

Taking advantage of her mother's distraction, Rin Tohsaka swung her arm to break free from her mother's grasp, then used her agility to bypass Aoi Tohsaka and ran to Sakura Tohsaka.

Even though she understood that the situation was now a fait accompli, how could she, as the older sister, allow her younger sister to be taken away by a stranger?

So all we could see was Rin Tohsaka gripping Sakura Tohsaka's wrist, shielding her behind her, and then spreading her arms, using her small body as the final barrier to stand in front of Lovi.

Seeing Rin Tohsaka's resentful gaze, Luo Wei shook his head helplessly.

Rin Tohsaka's behavior was perfectly normal, after all, she didn't know Sakura Tohsaka's original fate, and she was even less aware that what he was doing now could be considered a salvation for the sisters.

In the eyes of a little girl of this age, she only knows that she is the villain who took her sister away, so it is only natural that she feels unhappy or resentful. Of course, Luo Wei will not hold it against her.

"Rin! Stop fooling around and get out of here!"

Instead, Tokiomi Tohsaka stopped Rin from scolding her for her rudeness and forcibly separated them.

"Master Crowley, please excuse my poor appearance..."

The scene unfolding before his eyes left Tokiomi Tohsaka somewhat embarrassed.

“I understand, Head of the Tohsaka family. After all, they are sisters with a deep bond. It’s only natural that they are unwilling to be separated because of me, an outsider.”

"However, there's no need to be so pessimistic. I'm not an unsympathetic person. It just so happens that I have to stay in the Far East for a while due to certain matters."

"In that case, I'll stay in Fuyuki City for the time being. If Rin and Mrs. Tohsaka miss Sakura during this time, they can visit her anytime."

Luo Wei smiled slightly, then pretended to think for a moment before offering them a reasonable solution.

He originally intended to find an excuse to stay in Fuyuki City for a while, preparing for the upcoming show.

Since the current situation fits so well, he doesn't mind using the deep affection between the mother and daughters to put on a reasonably reasonable disguise.

Of course, with his abilities, he could also take Sakura away directly after reaching an agreement with Tokiomi Tohsaka and signing the mandatory magic contest, and then return without anyone noticing. After all, as an alchemist, it would be quite easy for him to create some magical artifacts that conceal one's aura.

But it seems there are better options available now.

Is it really possible?

Upon hearing Luo Wei's words, a faint glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Aoi Tohsaka's previously lost and dejected eyes.

"of course."

Luo Wei nodded slightly, then turned to look at the sulking Tohsaka Aoi and the silent Tohsaka Sakura sisters, and asked them with a soft smile.

What do you think?

"..."

Rin Tohsaka paused, her eyes widening in disbelief.

However, the initial hostility had visibly diminished at this moment, clearly due to the effect of Luo Wei's words.

'He's still just a child after all...'

Upon seeing this, Luo Wei silently recited in his heart.

"Um... can I still play with my sister in the future?"

Sakura Tohsaka looked timidly at Lo Wei in front of her, her words filled with longing, her posture endearing.

"Of course."

Luo Wei also gave his assurance in this regard.

"Yes! Thank you, big brother."

Finally, with Luo Wei's encouragement, the originally sorrowful farewell became less sad, and the two sisters, with tears in their eyes, hugged each other tightly.

Seeing this, Luo Wei shook his head, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Then, he turned to look at Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was standing to the side also watching everything.

“Then, Head of the Tohsaka family, please take good care of me during my stay in Fuyuki City,” said Lovi.

"of course."

Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded. Of course, he wouldn't refuse such a small favor, but...

"I wonder if the Crowley family has any important business to attend to in the Far East?" he asked with some curiosity.

"Well, it's a long story. Besides adopting Sakura, I also wanted to visit some friends along the way, so I'll be staying for a while longer."

'Oh, so you're visiting a friend...'

Upon hearing this, Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded, his gaze subtly and imperceptibly drifting towards the back of Lo Wei's hand.

Seeing that there were no three bright red marks on the back of his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a huge weight was lifted from his heart.

“I see… Then I wish the Crowley family all the best. As long as you are still in Fuyuki City, you can come to the Tohsaka family to find me anytime if you need anything.”

"Thank you for your generosity, Head of the Tohsaka family, but it is getting late, so I will not disturb you any longer."

Luo Wei said goodbye, "I'll take Sakura back first."

"Ok."

Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded slightly, his face still bearing that refined smile.

Before leaving, Luo Wei didn't forget to hand his business card to Tokiomi Tohsaka and Aoi Tohsaka, which showed his temporary magic base in Fuyuki City.

"This is where I am currently staying, the Hyatt Hotel."

"I will visit you when I have time."

Tokiomi Tohsaka accepted the business card from Lo Wei and gave a faint smile.

"Sakura, you have to be good in this new environment."

Aoi Tohsaka knelt down, looking at her daughter with tears in her eyes, and repeatedly told her in a choked voice, "Don't cause trouble for your big brother. Even without your mother by your side, you must be healthy and happy, okay?"

"Yes, I know, Mom."

Sakura Tohsaka nodded, and Rin also gathered around at that moment.

Finally, this inevitable parting came to an end with the three of them embracing each other.

The hugs from loved ones added a lot of warmth to this cold winter, and even the sky, which was originally covered in snow, cleared up at this moment.

Luo Wei held Sakura Tohsaka's slender hand as they walked out the door, got into the pre-booked car, and left under the watchful eyes of the Tohsaka family.

After a long while, only a faint light remained in his sight as it gradually faded into the distance until the car could no longer be seen. Only then did Tokiomi Tohsaka, standing in the snow, let out a long breath and then let out a helpless sigh.

"May our ancestors bless us, I believe that the descendants of the Tohsaka family will surely find true happiness..."
