"May I ask what your request is? As long as I can fulfill it, I will definitely do my best!"
Tokiomi swallowed subconsciously.
He didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he actually heard the word "agree" from Moran's mouth.
At this moment, he is ready to make a deal.
Tokiomi was even prepared to cut his flesh and bleed, but he never expected Moran to make such a request—
"Tokiomi, let your daughter become my disciple."
Chapter 175: Favors Also Come with Choices [Please Subscribe! Please Give Flowers!]
Faced with this unexpected request.
Tokiomi was so surprised that he was speechless.
Becoming the disciple of the Third Magician is naturally far more important than being adopted into the Edelfelt family.
Not only is the future secure.
At least being accepted as a disciple by the Third Magician is a great honor for a magician.
However, Tokiomi couldn't figure it out at this moment.
Even if he lowered his face to this extent, he only dared to suggest that Moran be Edelfeldt's middleman.
Like letting his daughter become the apprentice of the third magician.
Although Tokiomi was extremely confident in Rin and Sakura's magical talent, he was not so shameless as to think that he could surpass magic.
Therefore, he had never considered this matter from the beginning.
There is no doubt that if he could become the disciple of the third magician.
This was the best option for Tokiomi.
However, this choice was too good to be true. He did not believe that there was such a good thing in the world.
"Hey! Disciple!?"
Irisviel showed a surprised expression.
Even she didn't expect Moran to do such a thing.
"It would save you a lot of trouble if you let your daughter become my disciple, and you wouldn't have to deal with Edelfeldt."
"Yes, although I have confidence in the talents of my two daughters, I never imagined that they would enter the realm of magic..."
"Haha, do you think it's too good?"
Moran saw Tokiomi's worry.
He felt that the developments so far had been too smooth.
Therefore, being too smooth can also cause worry.
The important thing is that Tokiomi cannot guess Moran's thoughts, as this is also a decision that concerns his daughter's future.
"Yes, even I understand the cruelty of this world. It is an honor for me to witness your summoning ceremony. Now, you have also granted me the opportunity to be your disciple. The Tōsaka family truly does not know how to accept this great favor."
"Tokiomi, this is a decision. Let me tell you simply—I will also participate in the Holy Grail War in Xueyuan City."
Moran's mouth corners turned up slightly in a smile.
His scrutinizing gaze fixed on Tokiomi.
Just like a specimen being observed under a microscope, his gaze gave Tokiomi a pressure that tensed his entire body.
"........."
Tokiomi took a deep breath.
He understood the moment he heard Moran's words.
Sure enough, favor is not so easy.
Even the favor you give has the weight of a mountain, and if you are not careful you may crush yourself to death.
"Tokiomi, you said you wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War, didn't you? If so, then we'd be enemies. Isn't that right? And enemies are meant to be fought."
Moran's attitude was like a complete reversal.
Although the tone was still extremely relaxed, it contained a huge hostility that was not there just now.
A tsunami-like wave of stress.
The swelling murderous intent turned into a rushing hurricane.
“Hmm… That’s right…!”
Tokiomi's face turned pale in the face of this murderous intent.
But he still kept his body tense.
He tried hard not to make a fool of himself in front of the magician. This was the limit of his ability to uphold elegance and etiquette.
"Of course, let's put it this way. Even if I accept your daughter as my disciple, it doesn't prevent me from becoming your enemy. However, I don't want to be a master hated by my disciple. It's really not a good idea. Tokiomi, what do you think we should do? The choice is yours."
Moran's smile had a hint of playfulness.
He posed a dilemma and asked Tokiomi to choose, wanting to see which side he would choose.
"Lord Moran, if I join the Holy Grail War, will you still accept my daughter as your disciple?"
"That's right, I won't go back on my promise. Before the war begins, we can still be family. But, if we really step onto the battlefield, will I express my personal feelings... Tokiomi, do you want to take a gamble?"
"this......"
Tokiomi looked embarrassed.
He couldn't see through the depth in Moran's eyes.
Six months later, the Holy Grail War will begin.
If I, as the master, were unlucky enough to face Moran, the result would undoubtedly be a crushing defeat.
Tokiomi had no doubt about this result.
In addition, the murderous aura he felt at this moment made him certain that he would die at Moran's hands.
"However, even if you died at my hands, you died at the hands of the Third Magician. Compared to the shame of having the Greater Holy Grail taken away, an outcome like this is, in a sense, an honor, right?
Well, the shame of your Tohsaka family can be washed away.
Come, tell me your choice - do you want to wash away the shame of your family with blood, or choose to stay for your family! "
Moran did not allow Tokiomi to avoid the question.
The aura it exudes says so.
He just wanted to see in Tokiomi's heart whether being with his family was more important or the righteousness of a magician's way of magic was more important.
If you follow the normal magician's thinking.
That would undoubtedly be the path of participating in the Holy Grail War.
Preventing the magician from further exploring the mystery is undoubtedly an option to let the magician die.
Plus, Moran gave assurances.
Even if Tokiomi died in this Holy Grail War, he would still take care of his two daughters as a master.
It's a win-win for the magician.
It can not only satisfy the pursuit of mystery and family glory, but also ensure the smooth sailing of the family's future.
It doesn't get any better than this.
The only downside is that the two daughters will be without a father.
However, family affection is the last thing a magician needs.
At this moment, Tokiomi's heart was undoubtedly in torment, and the belief he had always held on to was shaken.
The shame suffered by the family must be washed away with blood.
This is the duty he was born to carry.
As a magician, I want to participate in the Holy Grail War because it is the option that maximizes benefits.
It can satisfy the demonic path and ensure the future of the family.
This is simply the perfect choice.
Tokiomi always kept in mind "to become a perfect magician", and based on this, he always maintained elegance.
Both of his beloved daughters could inherit first-rate magic.
Each of them has the means to develop their own life without being bound by the causal relationship of bloodline.
I can also embark on a bloody battle to wash away the shame.
Tokiomi believed that his daughters would have a bright future even without him.
It doesn't get any better than this.
But, is this really the case? The more Tokiomi asked himself this question, the more distressed he felt.
He shouldn't have needed to even think about a choice like this.
However, Tokiomi, as a father.
His chest was filled with a sharp pain.
Chapter 176: Finding the Answer [Please Subscribe! Please Give Flowers!]
Rin and Sakura's talents will surely lead them to learn the secrets of magic more easily than Tokiomi.
However, compared to actively choosing one's own destiny and taking this path.
How painful it is to have to choose this predetermined path because of an inescapable fate.
Tokiomi also had a deep understanding of this.
Rin and Sakura will face many tests in the future.
If Tokiomi doesn't give them any guidance and just walks away like that - is Tōsaka Tokiomi still a perfect father?
Tokiomi fell into deep silence and thought.
Of course, Moran didn't force him to answer immediately.
The hesitation he felt was the brilliance of human nature, and it was also the brilliance that Moran admired.
This is a choice, this is a trial.
The test thrown by the third magician is to ask whether the Tōsaka family is worthy of receiving the favor.
Moran had the answer he was looking forward to in his heart.
But he won't reveal the answer.
If that were the case, it would be too boring. He wanted Tokiomi to make the choice based on his own will.
Otherwise, there is no point.
Before coming to the Moon World, it was difficult to understand Tokiomi's true nature.
Now that Moran is a person living in this world, he wants to find out which is more important to Shichen, family or the path of magic.
When Tokiomi still didn't respond.
There was a sudden sound outside the door.
Just like waves stirred up on calm waters, Tokiomi's attention was diverted.
He saw Rin and Sakura coming in from the door.
And the child with a worried look on his face.
"Aoi... and Rin and Sakura... I'm having a serious conversation with a guest right now. Who let you in?"
Tokiomi turned his cold gaze towards the servant.
