Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

Even if it's indirectly because of him.

But what would Rin Tohsaka's life have been like without him?

Father is dead.

My mother became a vegetable and died soon after.

The younger sister suffered endless torment at the Matou family's house, and was even implanted with aphrodisiacs, turning her into a slut who craved men's bodily fluids every day.

She was all alone, a seven-year-old child, living a lonely life in the Tohsaka family mansion.

Kirei Kotomine squandered the Tohsaka family's vast fortune, leaving her, the heir to the Tohsaka family who was originally the ruler of Fuyuki City, so poor by the time of the Fifth Holy Grail War that she had to carefully budget even for a single use of a gem magic spell.

Compare that future.

Now that my mother and sister are both by my side, I am so much happier.

Moreover.

So what if I've wronged her?

Does this world have done right by him?

All the sins and karma of human history were inflicted on him, a "beast," and then whoever saw him said that his birth was wrong and that he should be killed.

"Don't be so indecisive in the future. You're still hesitant at crucial moments."

"Think about all your choices in advance and be prepared to bear the corresponding consequences."

"In the world of magicians, there is no mercy, only life and death."

"Since you've chosen to bear all of this, then put away your cowardice. In this cruel world, no one will spare your life just because you're a child, except for your family."

After Lin Jiu'an finished speaking, he left the room, leaving Rin Tohsaka, who was crying even harder, behind.

"Jiu'an?"

As soon as he stepped out, Lin Jiu'an ran into Tohsaka Aoi in the corridor.

"Rin, what's going on?"

"fine."

"profound."

Aoi Tohsaka guessed the reason, and after a moment of silence, she did not continue the conversation.

Instead, he said, "Jiu'an."

Looking at Aoi Tohsaka's longing gaze, Lin Jiu'an sighed silently.

After comforting her daughter, she comforted her mother.

I'm carrying far too much on my shoulders!

······

late at night.

Rin Tohsaka, who was lying quietly on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and quietly got out of bed.

finish dressing.

Rin Tohsaka took out the rope she had made during the day from her clothes and bed sheets.

He went to the window, opened it, tied one end of the rope to the bed, and then threw the rope down.

Looking at the distance of a few meters from the ground to the second-floor window, Rin Tohsaka nervously swallowed, but thinking of the phone call during the day, she gritted her teeth, grabbed the rope, and slid down. Fortunately, apart from some pain in her palms, she was perfectly fine.

then.

Rin Tohsaka tiptoed out of her house and came to the main road just in time to see a taxi driving by. She immediately waved and flagged it down.

"Young lady, where are you going so late?"

Rin Tohsaka got into the car.

She thought about the phone call she had secretly made to her father's apprentice, Kirei Kotomine, during the day.

"church!"

······

The Tohsaka family home, master bedroom.

Noticing that Lin Jiu'an had suddenly stopped, Tohsaka Aoi slightly opened her hazy, beautiful eyes.

"Jiu... Jiu'an, what's wrong?"

"Your daughter has gone out."

Lin Jiu'an sensed the location of the substance he had left on Rin Tohsaka's body, and started working again while talking.

During the day.

Rin Tohsaka thought she was being discreet by secretly calling Kirei Kotomine.

In fact, Lin Jiu'an, who was in the bathroom with Tohsaka Aoi at the time, had already overheard her conversation with Kotomine Kirei.

The content of their conversation was nothing special.

Rin Tohsaka is questioning her about her father, while Kirei Komine tells her that Tokiomi Tohsaka's body will be buried at the Church of the Holy See tomorrow, clearly trying to entice the heartbroken Rin to visit her father at the Church of the Holy See.

In addition, Lin Jiu'an recently felt that the underground thing was not behaving properly, so during dinner he left a part of himself on Rin Tohsaka to monitor her.

"Wait, wait, Rin will be alright, won't she?"

"Do not worry."

Lin Jiu'an said dismissively, "It will still be some time before Lin takes a taxi to the Holy Church."

"What? Weren't you the one who was pestering me like you wouldn't stop until you drained me dry during the day?"

"Waaah, I was wrong..."

Aoi Tohsaka wailed, but quickly forgot about her daughter under Lin Jiu'an's influence.

She was thinking of squeezing Lin Jiu'an dry so that those bad women outside wouldn't have anything to eat.

But who knew Lin Jiu'an would be so resilient? From the time she finished eating breakfast until now, she has only had a few hours of rest when she went downstairs to cook for her daughters. Tohsaka Aoi doesn't know how much longer Lin Jiu'an can last, but she knows that if this continues, her brain will probably break down completely.

"Wrong? Too late!"

······

Rin Tohsaka stood in front of the Holy Church.

Looking up at the church in front of me, silent and devoid of any human presence in the darkness, I couldn't help but tremble.

"Don't worry, Rin, it'll be alright."

"You're the woman who's going to become the head of the Tohsaka family!"

Giving herself a pep talk, Rin Tohsaka jogged to the church entrance and knocked on the door.

"anyone there?"

"Kirei Kotomine?"

'Squeak.'

The door was opened shortly after I knocked.

Seeing Kirei Kotomine standing inside the door, Rin Tohsaka breathed a sigh of relief.

"I want to see my father's body."

Kirei Kotomine didn't speak, but instead looked down and scrutinized Rin Tohsaka, confirming that there were no signs of magical surveillance on her.

"Come with me."

Rin Tohsaka followed Kirei Kotomine into the church, and after a few minutes they arrived at a door.

"This isn't a morgue, is it?" Rin Tohsaka asked warily.

Even though she had never been here before, she could tell that this room was the residence of a high-ranking figure in the Holy Church, not a place for storing corpses.

Kirei Kotomine didn't answer, but instead knocked on the door.

"Teacher, Rin is here."

"come in."

I heard that familiar voice coming from the room.

Rin Tohsaka, who was already on guard and ready to run away if anything went wrong, was suddenly stunned.

That is...

"Father?" Rin Tohsaka asked in a trembling voice.

The moment Kirei Kotomine opened the door, Rin Tohsaka rushed into the room before he even entered.

Then she saw her father, as elegant as she remembered him, sitting on the sofa in the room.

"Father?" Rin Tohsaka's voice trembled with disbelief once again.

Tokiomi Tohsaka then looked up and a smile appeared on his face when he saw Rin.

"It's Rin."

Chapter 44 Rin Tohsaka's Midnight Adventure (Part 2)

The father, whom she believed had left her forever, reappeared before her.

Rin Tohsaka could hardly contain her joy and excitement as she jogged over to Tokiomi Tohsaka.

If it weren't for the other person's elegant and composed demeanor, which reminded Rin Tohsaka of the Tohsaka family's ancestral precept of "being elegant" that Tokiomi Tohsaka often taught her, and her fear of disappointing her father, Rin Tohsaka would have already wanted to throw herself into Tokiomi Tohsaka's arms.

Even so, Rin Tohsaka's eyes were filled with tears.

"Father, aren't you dead?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka did not answer his daughter's question, but instead looked at Kirei Kotomine, who had walked behind Rin.

"Qili, how is it?"

"The Tohsaka family is acting normally; they haven't noticed Rin's departure."

Kirei Kotomine paused for a moment, then said, "Everything is exactly as you planned, Sensei."

"Lancer and some of Assassin's clones lured Artoria outside, and the mysterious assassin is looking for an opportunity to sneak into Einzbern's castle."

Artoria's strength was beyond Tokiomi Tohsaka's expectations.

in his impression.

Although that Servant is the legendary King of Knights, his strength is actually quite average. He might even be defeated in a one-on-one fight against Dimurd.

According to last night's plan, Artoria would undoubtedly die in the three-man attack.

But the opponent not only did not die, but also defeated the three Servants with almost one-sided suppression. If the opponent had not been completely focused on the three of them and had not been so determined to go to the Matou family, the other two Servants besides Hassan the Hundred Faces might not have returned.

However, the Holy Grail War is not a battle between Servants; the strength of a single Servant cannot determine everything.

No matter how powerful a Servant is, if they assassinate your Master, they will still return to the Holy Grail without the support of magical energy.

However, upon realizing that her Master had been assassinated, Artoria's final, furious attack would likely be something Lancer wouldn't be able to withstand.

"Archer has unexpectedly run into Rider."

"And Berserker seems to be intentionally heading towards the battlefield, as if he wants to get involved in the fight between the two."

Tokiomi Tohsaka raised an eyebrow in surprise.

If it was in his plan that at least two riders from Einzbern's side were to leave the field.

The possible departure of Rider and the addition of Berserker were completely unexpected. In his original plan, he intended to use Assassin to lure Rider and Berserker into a confrontation between the two.

"It's alright, Rider has no chance of surviving against that one."

An barely suppressed smile appeared on Tokiomi Tohsaka's calm expression.

He stood up and said, "Let's go."

"Father, where are you going?"
