"You're lying." Zenjo Aoi looked at her husband and curled her lips, "Rin, you said the same thing at that time."

"But this isn't lying, is it?" Tōsaka Tokiomi argued, "Both children are the same as you, and I like them all. What's wrong with that?"

After some communication, the two looked at each other and laughed.

"Have you thought of a name for the child?" Toosaka Tokiomi asked.

Zenjo Aoi shook her head.

"not yet."

"How about... you come and get it this time?"

"..."

Tōsaka Tokiomi did not rush to answer his wife.

He looked out the window.

Just at this moment, a streak of cherry blossoms fell, leaving a beautiful trace in the air.

The man spoke again at this moment:

"Aoi, how about calling her 'Sakura'?"

"Tousaka Sakura?" Zenjo Aoi muttered the name with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Hmm, good name."

【You know nothing about the outside world.】

【You are still sleeping. 】

[You just feel like you've been placed in some kind of box.]

[Beyond this, you know nothing.]

The imperceptible undercurrent continues to affect the Fourth Holy Grail War which has not yet been held.

In the Tosaka family's residence.

Zenjo Aoi, wearing a kimono, was sitting on the tatami, putting the freshly cut flowers one by one into the vase.

At this moment, her expression looks serious and calm. She is a woman who anyone who sees will find extremely elegant.

brush-

The shoji door on the side was pushed open.

Tōsaka Tokiomi walked in, but his expression looked a little off.

Zenjo Aoi quickly noticed the abnormality in her husband's demeanor, so she asked softly:

"Tokiomi, what's wrong?"

"You look like that...did something bad happen to you?"

"..."

Probably because he knew that he would not be able to hide it from Zenjo Aoi, Tōsaka Tokiomi did not hesitate for too long and spoke directly:

"Aoi, do you remember the magic aptitude test for Rin and Sakura that I mentioned to you last time?"

"..."

Although the Zenjo family had left the realm of magicians since their parents' generation, Zenjo Aoi had still heard a little about this.

After all, my husband is a genuine magician, so I have to be exposed to some of that.

"Yeah." Zenjo Aoi nodded, "I remember."

"What are the results of their magical aptitude?"

"It's terrible." Tōsaka Tokiomi covered his forehead.

"Their magic talent is too perfect, so perfect that it is impossible to find fault with it."

"Rin is all-element, five-fold composite attribute."

"Sakura is a fictional element, an imaginary number attribute."

"No matter which one they are... they are both very suitable to become magicians."

"This……"

Zenjo Aoi's perception made her a little confused.

"Tokiomi, isn't this something worth being happy about?"

"If they are all so good...we should be proud of it."

"No." Toosaka Tokiomi shook his head.

"Aoi, this is not that simple."

"If it was some other talent, I would be very happy."

"But..." The man's voice began to deepen, "If it's a talent for magic, then it's a serious problem."

"why is that?"

Zenjo Aoi became more and more confused.

As an ordinary person, she found it difficult to understand this situation - why would her husband be sad because of her daughter's excellence?

Knowing that his wife only had a vague understanding of this matter, Tōsaka Tokiomi sighed and then began to explain seriously:

"sunflower."

"Situations like Rin and Sakura's can no longer be called 'normal'. Instead, they are like miracles beyond imagination."

"This level of magical talent will affect their character as they age, causing them to lose their reason."

"If they are not restricted early, they will sooner or later fall into madness because of this talent in their blood."

After hearing the man's explanation, Zenjo Aoi suddenly understood.

The better the magician, the more likely he is to fall into indescribable obsession.

Then, as a mother of two, she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Tokiomi, if you say that, won't Rin and Sakura go crazy sooner or later?"

"Is there no solution at all?"

"Of course there is." Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned, "Our family's protection can prevent those who receive it from this erosion."

"That's it-"

Zenjo Aoi wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but she found that her husband's expression was even more serious than before.

She realized that the situation was not that simple.

"Tokiomi."

"It seems there are other problems, right?"

"Yes." Tohsaka Tokiomi looked embarrassed, "Because the protection can only be given to one of them."

"what?!"

Upon hearing the news, Zenjo Aoi felt like he had been struck by a bolt from the blue and almost collapsed.

Fortunately, Toosaka Tokiomi supported her in time, thus avoiding the dangerous situation.

"How could this be?"

Zenjo Aoi felt that it was becoming difficult for her to breathe.

She never expected the final result would be like this.

Between Rin and Sakura, only one person can accept this protection to avoid the effects of the blood?

Isn't that equivalent to leaving another person to die?

Zenjo Aoi couldn't accept this at all.

but--

Looking at Tōsaka Tokiomi who was in the same pain, she was speechless.

Yes.

If I feel pain, isn't he the same?

After thinking for a long time, Zenjo Aoi finally stopped exerting meaningless pressure on Tōsaka Tokiomi. She just asked gently:

"That--"

"Tokiomi, what are you going to do?"

"..."

"I haven't figured out what to do yet." The man's voice became even deeper, revealing a faint sense of powerlessness.

"But Aoi, I will definitely try my best to find a solution."

"Until then—"

Toosaka Tokiomi looked at the flowers arranged on the side, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I think it would be better... not to let Rin and Sakura realize that they are sisters."

"...Yeah." Zenjo Aoi nodded.

"I understand."

[The undercurrent of the Fourth Holy Grail War is still surging. 】

[But you are still unaware of these things while you are asleep. ]

[But you can clearly feel that your consciousness is becoming clearer and clearer.]

You feel like you might wake up at some point.

【It didn’t take long for this premonition to come true. 】

In the large study room in Fuyuki Tousaka's residence.

Toosaka Tokiomi was talking to someone on the phone.

He looked quite excited, as if he had discovered some priceless treasure.

The tiny Tousaka Sakura stood beside him, resting her finger on her chin with a puzzled look on her face, looking very cute.

"I see!" Toosaka Tokiomi answered the voice on the phone excitedly.

"The Matou family just needs an adopted daughter, right?!"

"I understand. I'll bring Ying to your place in a few days!"

"Well, it's a deal."

After a very satisfying communication, Toosaka Tokiomi put down the phone and walked around the room excitedly, almost shouting out loud.

Seeing her father like this, the well-behaved Sakura Toosaka also started dancing with joy.

Even if——

She actually had no idea what was going on.

And Tousaka Tokiomi quickly noticed this.

He controlled his emotions and coughed lightly a few times.

"Cough cough."

"Um... Sakura, wasn't Daddy's behavior just now embarrassing?"

"No~no~" Toosaka Sakura smiled foolishly.

"When dad is happy... he is so cute~"

"..."

Hearing this, Tōsaka Tokiomi suddenly felt his nose sore.

But as an adult, he still knows how to manage his emotions.
