Hearing his nonsense, Matou Kariya couldn't help but punch him on the head.

"What are you thinking? How could such a thing possibly happen? Why do you have such a vivid imagination?"

"Then why..."

"Of course it's my adoptive father, you brat."

"Foster father?"

Kariya Matou covered his head and said with a somewhat helpless expression, "He is Sakura's adoptive father. He adopted Sakura about ten years ago, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, so he is her father."

"Yes, Brother Luo Wei, if we're talking about seniority, he's my adoptive father."

Sakura nodded at this moment and then explained to Shinji.

“My real biological parents are Tokiomi Tohsaka and Aoi Tohsaka, and my older sister is Rin Tohsaka. However, because I was adopted by my brother Lo Wei, I spent my childhood in London.”

"I see. But... you're actually Rin Tohsaka's younger sister?"

Although Shinji Matou doesn't know Lo Wei, he definitely knows Rin Tohsaka. After all, they are both from prestigious families in Fuyuki City, and they would definitely visit each other during holidays.

That's why he was so surprised.

Upon hearing that Sakura was Rin Tohsaka's younger sister, his gaze silently shifted downwards a few degrees, and then, recalling Rin Tohsaka's boundless plains, his eyes became even more puzzled.

With such a difference in appearance, are they really sisters?

Is the food in London really that good?

"Hey kid, where are you looking!"

As expected, Shinji Matou was punched again because of his wandering gaze.

Afterwards, Matou Kariya ignored the brat who was a bit off in the head and pulled Sakura to sit down beside him, asking her about the purpose of Lovi's return. It shouldn't just be to visit him, right?

After all, he usually works as a TV host in Misaki City and occasionally publishes books. He hasn't been back for a year or two, and now the Holy Grail War is in full swing. So, are they back to continue participating in this boring and dangerous ritual? This made Matou Kariya somewhat worried.

"Yes, Uncle Kariya, I did come here initially to participate in the Holy Grail War. I only came to visit you after hearing that you were back. Seeing that you have been doing well all these years, I am relieved."

In response to Kariya Matou's concern, Sakura raised the back of her hand, revealing the Command Seals on its surface, and then answered without concealment.

"As for why I participated in the Holy Grail War, it's because I had a wish to fulfill before."

"A wish?"

Hearing her words, Matou Kariya sighed.

Yes, a wish...

After all, the Holy Grail in the Holy Grail War is known as an all-powerful wish-granting machine. Since he came here, it must mean that he has a wish. But even so, he was still worried about Sakura's safety and was also a little resentful of Luo Wei for bringing the child along.

With his strength, he wouldn't need Sakura's help to win, right? Besides, what can Sakura do? Can a girl like her really fight?

After much thought, he still felt it wouldn't work, so Matou Kariya made a suggestion.

“I don’t know what your adoptive father is thinking, but since that’s the case, I’ll help you too, Sakura.”

"what?"

Upon hearing Matou Kariya's words, the other three people in the room couldn't help but pause in surprise.

"Uncle Kariya/Uncle Kariya, are you also going to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

The three of them spoke at the same time.

"Why do you all have that look on your faces? Although I'm a good-for-nothing who's abandoned the path of magic, I'm still someone who participated in the Holy Grail War. I should be able to help in some way..."

Kariya Matou sighed, then explained.

"No need, Uncle Kariya, my wish has already come true."

Upon hearing Matou Kariya's self-recommendation, Sakura promptly interrupted him, then a bright smile appeared on her face.

In the past, to increase her chances of victory, she might have actually used Matou Kariya's help. But now, her wish was to use the Holy Grail to bring her brother Lovi back, and that has now been fulfilled, so she no longer needs the Holy Grail.

Similarly, she had just received a message from Reines informing her that Lovi had returned. Although she had known this news a day ago, she hadn't told Reines immediately because of Lovi's specific instructions.

So after receiving this message, she also replied to Reines with a token remark:

[Great! Really? Where is it? I'll go back right now.]

However, although Reines received this extremely important news from King Lionheart, because she was in the midst of the Holy Grail War, she was worried that it was a trap carefully set by other groups, so she did not act rashly. After all, there was still no news about the most mysterious and unpredictable Caster, so she did not let Sakura return and planned to find out everything before they could reunite.

If it really is Rowe who has returned, that would be the best outcome. But if it's just some trick played by someone else, then since they dared to make such a joke about the person she cherishes most, Reines believes that the other party must have already thought about how to die a quick and painless death.

Little did Reines know that while she was considering the truth, Sakura already knew, and that it was also her wish.

"Has your wish come true?"

Upon hearing Sakura's words, Matou Kariya said with some surprise.

"Yes, it has already been achieved, so this Holy Grail War has nothing to do with me anymore."

Sakura nodded gently; at this moment, her heart was completely calm.

Her greatest wish has been fulfilled, and there is no need for the Holy Grail War to continue. I believe Reines feels the same way. Now that things have come to this, the two of them can withdraw.

As for the Holy Grail, Reines probably has no other desires, just like me.

Ok……

That's not necessarily the case.

Although their wishes have now been fulfilled, Reines may still have her own ideas, such as obtaining the Holy Grail, then wishing to marry her brother Lovi, and becoming her mother before her sister Orange.

Thinking of this, a rare look of annoyance appeared on Sakura's face, especially when she recalled what Luo Wei had told her yesterday about the stepmother he had found for her in another world, and Miss Merry from the Tohsaka family who made no attempt to hide it, saying that even if she was not suitable to be a wife, she could still be a lover.

Sakura could easily foresee how Reines and Orange would react after learning the news; in short, the situation would definitely get out of control again.

After much deliberation, she decided that she should not go back for the time being, but instead stay with Matou Kariya to avoid trouble.

Although she really wanted to be with Lowe, the thought of Reines and Orange's behavior afterwards made her inexplicably scared and gave her a headache.

Sure enough, when parents argue, it's always the children who suffer the most.

However, speaking of oranges...

Even Sakura couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Orange Sister, didn't Aika say she'd wait for them in Fuyuki City? She just wanted them to gradually progress to the final stages of the Holy Grail War and enjoy the event. But it's been so long and there's still no news.

She had initially thought that Orange would end up with her sister, but Rin Tohsaka was unaware of the news.

This puzzled Sakura, and a sense of foreboding rose in her heart as well.

Given Orange and Aika's personalities, it's fine if they bicker and argue, but if they suddenly become quiet and behave abnormally, it doesn't mean they're changing their ways; it means they're up to something big.

Sakura genuinely felt that Orange might be up to something big.

Thinking of Orange's personality and her methods, Sakura couldn't help but shudder.

However, recalling Luo Wei's figure, she wasn't actually worried.

After all, no matter what trouble Orange and Aiko cause, it's all for Luo Wei's sake. And now that he's back, even if they cause trouble, Luo Wei will definitely be able to handle it.

That person, no matter when or where, was always her great hero.

Thinking this, Sakura and Kariya Matou sat down again and continued to talk about their lives over the years, as if the outside world had nothing to do with them.

Only Shinji Matou, standing to the side, was puzzled. He genuinely envied those who had access to the demonic path.

So he pulled his father aside and asked him.

Could I inherit the Matou family's magic? Although they said they were burned to the ground a long time ago, there must still be some remnants, right?

Even if it's just a little bit, he wants to learn it, and then he'll find a way to make up for and revitalize the Matou family.

However, upon hearing his lofty ambitions, especially his desire to revive the Matou family's magic, both Matou Tsuruno and Matou Kariya, who were standing beside him, changed their expressions and then exchanged a glance.

Followed by.

"Yan Ye, close the door for me."

Matou Tsuruno picked up a feather duster and then spoke to his brother.

Meanwhile, Matou Kariya quickly closed the door and thoughtfully sealed the window. He then picked up a feather duster and stood with Matou Tsuruno. The two of them looked at Matou Shinji with dark expressions.

"What, what did you do?"

Seeing the behavior of the two, Shinji Matou had a bad feeling.

"It's nothing, I'm just helping you correct that wrong mindset."

"Shinji, just go and drown your unrealistic ideals!"

Accompanied by a rhythmic tapping.

That night, after so many years, the Matou family mansion was filled with a sound that resembled the wailing of a demon.

Furthermore, Shinji Matou witnessed what hell truly meant.

-

"Um... let's make this clear first!"

At the Tohsaka residence, Rin Tohsaka silently picked up a bag full of jewels from the table, and after a moment of silence, suddenly stood up.

"No matter how much money you offer me, I will never admit defeat in the Holy Grail War!"

"is it?"

Luvia calmly sipped her tea, then tossed away two more packets of gems.

"..."

At this moment, Rin Tohsaka's expression slowly became conflicted.

Luvia was not surprised at all.

Although Rin Tohsaka had just appeared righteous and awe-inspiring, it wasn't like she hadn't encountered this kind of person before.

As long as the price is right.

Then time would flow backward.

Even words spoken will be taken back.

The other person will then change from saying "I'm not that kind of person" to "Don't treat me like a human being," and "Don't care, let's continue."
