Type-Moon Simulator: Start the game by attacking the Greek goddess!

He didn't want his family to know the choice he faced.

"What's wrong with that? Tokiomi, your wife and daughter are both worried. Don't worry, I'm very generous and wouldn't mind even this kind of family time. Think carefully about my question."

"Thank you very much. This is due to my lack of discipline."

Tokiomi still apologized to Moran.

He felt relieved that Moran didn't care.

It was obvious that it was his wife Zencheng Aoi who insisted on coming in. She must have seen his distressed expression.

His wife has been by his side for a long time, and they can express their feelings to each other without words.

Tokiomi sighed at his own lack of training.

"Father, are you thinking about something?"

"Rin... Sakura..."

Tokiomi saw his two daughters coming closer to him.

The bitterness in my heart resurfaced.

"Well, I was thinking..."

Tokiomi's expression was very complicated.

Thinking about the fact that he had just chosen to go to the Holy Grail War, it was equivalent to washing away the shame with blood.

Look again, my daughter’s concerned look at this moment.

I have mixed feelings.

Rin not only spoke to Tokiomi, she also turned around and greeted Moran: "Hello, I'm Tohsaka Rin, the daughter of Tohsaka Tokiomi."

"Hello, I'm Moran. As for my identity... just treat me as a stranger who came here without asking."

"I've never seen my father show this expression before, but I believe that no matter how difficult the question is, he will definitely answer you gracefully and clearly!"

Lin's attitude towards Moran was neither humble nor arrogant.

That tender little face held an air of arrogance that didn't suit her age. It was as if she wanted to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the family within her petite frame.

Obviously, she saw Tokiomi's distress.

He also keenly realized that the person who troubled his father to this extent was the stranger sitting on the sofa in front of him.

"Rin, don't be unreasonable!"

“…It’s…Father…”

Tokiomi immediately scolded Rin.

His heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

He actually dared to speak so bluntly to the third magician. Should we say that he was just talking nonsense or that he was too naive?

No, not entirely.

What applies to ordinary children does not apply to Tousaka Rin.

She was even more perceptive than Tokiomi in this regard, and she also realized the truth that Moran had no hostility towards the Tohsaka family.

"Hahahaha, this is so interesting, Tokiomi. Your daughter is truly extraordinary. Now I'm even more curious about what choice you'll make... Little girl, don't treat me as an enemy. I'm your father's benefactor."

Moran wasn't angry at the child.

He just thought it was funny.

I didn't expect that the first time I met my future disciple, I would be treated as an enemy.

Thinking about it, this girl will have to worship me as her master...

Moran couldn't stop smiling.

"Hmm... So... the girl you want to take as your disciple is just a little girl..."

Irisviel muttered as she looked at Rin and Sakura.

She seemed to be relieved about something.

The perspective returns to Tokiomi's side.

Tokiomi still faced a bitter choice.

Lin looked at his silent father nervously, not knowing what problem was troubling him so much.

Ying was very introverted and didn't dare to speak.

She felt that the atmosphere was very heavy at the moment and she couldn't interrupt the discussion like her sister Rin.

Tokiomi knew that his two daughters held him in high esteem and admiration as a father. The decision he made at this moment would profoundly impact their futures.

"........"

Tokiomi knelt on one knee, bent down, and placed his hands on Rin and Sakura's heads—they both showed surprised expressions and opened their eyes wide.

Seeing his daughter's reaction, Tokiomi remembered that he had never stroked his daughter's head like this before.

No wonder Rin and Sakura were so surprised.

Even Tokiomi himself, after touching his daughter's head, realized that he didn't know how much strength he should use to express his love.

Back to the question of how to make a decision.

I seem to have the answer in my heart.

Looking at the worries on the two girls' young faces, I realized that I had overlooked the most important thing while thinking.

For them.

It's not just the perfect magician that's needed.

At present, 4.8 still needs a perfect father.

The family's shame cannot be forgotten, but this is not a reason for him to abandon his family and rush towards death.

Tokiomi once again channeled his inner thoughts into the palm of his hand that caressed his daughter, as if to sort out the doubts in his heart.

Lin let the hand rub his head, his pair of dark and bright eyes still staring at his father motionlessly.

Sakura only saw trust and pride in her eyes.

My daughter's emotions are conveyed in my heart.

“—Ahh, I see.”

Finally, Tokiomi found the answer in his heart.

The shadow of confusion comes from a mind that lacks composure and grace, which is not elegant at all.

Tokiomi had always had the family motto deeply engraved in his mind, and his daughter's eyes made him deeply understand this sentence all over again.

At this moment, he made his own choice.

Chapter 177: Heading to the Great Void [Please subscribe! Please give flowers!]

"Made a choice?"

"Yes, I will withdraw from the Holy Grail War. I don't have to win to learn the shame of the Tōsaka family. This time, I can't let my obsession with the immediate goal cause me to forget what I should be focusing on."

Tokiomi gently stroked his daughter's head with both hands.

He gave a kind smile.

"I see. So, rather than choosing to participate in the Holy Grail War, you ultimately chose your family? It's hardly a choice a magus would make, but I don't mind it."

Moran nodded in agreement.

If Tokiomi insisted on the path of magic and chose to participate in the Holy Grail War, Moran would not say anything about it.

However, he would not mix personal feelings into the Holy Grail War.

For Tokiomi like that.

Perhaps, if you want to be a father who is worthy of others, you must first become a perfect magician.

And the idea of becoming a perfect magician.

He is destined to embark on a path of sorrow.

Now, after passing Moran's test, Tokiomi prioritizes his family over the path of magic. After temporarily putting aside the family's shame, he will not embark on a path full of death.

This is undoubtedly a more humane choice.

This was exactly the answer Moran wanted to see.

No matter what, he didn't want to see his disciples, Rin and Sakura, experience the pain of losing their father when they were young.

"Actually, even if I don't participate in the Holy Grail War, I can still aim to dismantle the foundation of the Holy Grail ritual in Snowfield City. In a sense, this is also a tit-for-tat. They once shattered the magical path pursued by our ancestors, so this time I will shatter their wishes."

Tokiomi said this in a tone filled with pride.

It's not about giving up the bloody shame.

After realizing that this Holy Grail War was not one he could intervene in, he chose a more appropriate strategy.

Just like the Nazis once took advantage of the situation.

Tokiomi was merely repeating what his enemies had done.

Always maintain elegance and calmness.

This does not mean that he has to be stubborn and step into a trap even if he knows it is a trap. This is not what is called elegance, but stupidity.

"Give up participating in the Holy Grail War and set your goal to disintegrate the Greater Holy Grail of Snowfield City. Not bad, Tokiomi, you have learned to change your mindset, which is quite an improvement. You should thank your daughter and wife."

“I am very grateful for your teaching.

If you hadn't asked me this question, Master Moran, I would have made the same mistake of neglecting details. Here, I have something even more important to protect. I will personally establish the magecraft of the Tōsaka family and become a father that Rin and Sakura can be proud of.

Tokiomi looked back with a look of gratitude and assurance.

With new confidence and awareness in mind.

Rin and Sakura, who rarely heard such words, were a little at a loss. They didn't expect that their father's distress came from them.

At the same time, Tokiomi was completely convinced by Moran.

The questions he asked not only put him to the test, but also made him realize once again the importance of his family in his heart.

If it weren’t for his wife Zenjo Aoi breaking into the room.

He also brought Sakura and Rin in.

I'm afraid he will make a decision more suitable for a magus and resolutely decide to embark on the path of participating in the Holy Grail War.

Of course, Tokiomi and his wife didn't need to talk too much.

Just by making eye contact you can understand.

"Lord Moran, if you wish to utilize the Great Grail foundation left behind in Fuyuki City, then let me lead the way. I will do my best to serve you. Otherwise, I will be unable to repay your kindness."

Tokiomi's respect for him was beyond words.

He really couldn't see through even the first layer of the character of the third magician in front of him.

He has the ruthlessness of a magician.

His murderous aura and tyranny are as unmatched as a king.

But the turbulent torrent of emotions contains warmth, like flowers growing on the cliffs.

Behind the coldness lies an unexpected passion.

He possesses a humanity far beyond that of a magus.

On the surface, they appear to be inhuman beings, but in reality, they are more flesh and blood than anyone else. This gives people this impression.

Tokiomi couldn't grasp the feeling well either.

"Let's go and see the remains of the miracles created by the three great families. This will be fun."

"Yes, it's an honor to be recognized by you."

Tokiomi leaned forward slightly and led the way.
