I am the protagonist

“Uncle, we know this better than anyone else.”

"The Holy Grail is definitely not an omnipotent wish-granting machine; it is nothing but a false existence, existing only to complete the materialization of the soul in the Third Law."

"The Holy Grail cannot allow us to travel back in time, but that refers to the Holy Grail that was created in Fuyuki City."

"And the Holy Grail that sent us back to this era certainly wasn't a manufactured Holy Grail."

Now Tokiomi Tohsaka finally understood why his two daughters needed to win this Holy Grail War.

The Holy Grail manufactured in Fuyuki City is not the key.

However, this victory in the Holy Grail War might attract another Holy Grail, the one that his two daughters desire.

"Rin and Sakura did not initially want to come here to meet you."

"They believe that the changes of this era may lead to changes in the future, so they hesitated."

I see, that's indeed a possibility.

"In reality, such things are not easy to happen."

"The timeline is not a single line; any choice can create countless futures."

Shirou chuckled softly. This was the answer many people would have thought of, but was that really the case?

“Normally speaking, my uncle’s statement is correct.”

"But I can no longer see the river of time to the future; the future has become a fog."

"In other words, it is very likely that the result will be that this era will change, and the future will also change along with this era."

These words caused Tokiomi Tohsaka's expression to change drastically.

Now he could understand why his two daughters were initially unwilling to come and see them.

Chapter 121 The Situation of the Fourth Holy Grail War

"The future will change? Why are you so sure?"

"So didn't I say that I can see the river of time, I can see the future, and I can see the past?"

Is it a demonic eye? Or a clairvoyant eye?

Tokiomi Tohsaka knew that when Clairvoyance reached its highest level, it would allow one to see parts of the future and the past.

"The future will definitely change because of our arrival, and this trend will not be changed by anything."

"The world in the future is very likely to change greatly because of the changes in this era."

"So, Uncle, you need to be mentally prepared. As long as you can survive to the end, there will definitely be a future where you can live like this."

"...Change the future?"

"In that case, your future will also change."

Looking at his two daughters, Tokiomi Tohsaka understood their feelings.

The changes of this era may affect the future, and the two daughters from the future will also be changed.

The most obvious example is that if he and Aoi hadn't died in this Holy Grail War, Rin and Sakura would have lived completely different lives and taken completely different paths.

"That is indeed a possibility."

"Rin and Sakura are also worried that I might change, which is why they don't want to change the ending of this era."

"But I don't approve of this approach."

Rin and Sakura have this worry because he is an adopted son, and if some of his past is changed, he may not be adopted again.

However, Shirou had no such idea at all; instead, he wanted to see if the world's correction could correct his identity.

"Of course, if it were a different situation, I would support them in doing so."

Shirou completely agrees with Rin and Sakura's desire to change their parents' fate; in fact, he hopes that Rin and Sakura will do just that.

But if Rin and Sakura's parents were the kind of magicians who only treated their children as possessions, then he would change Rin and Sakura's previous ideas.

However, this time, Rin and Sakura's parents were very lucky to meet, as they were not the kind of pure magicians who only talked about the origins.

【! ? 】

Aoi Tohsaka recalled what the boy in front of her had just said, which made her gaze more complicated.

He made this decision to fulfill the wishes of his two daughters.

She could tell that the boy was serious about them, but this kind of affection was really not suitable for their parents.

[It's not uncommon for magicians to treat their children as mere possessions within their families.]

As a magician, Aoi Tohsaka was aware of these things.

In fact, the Zenjo family is such a family of magicians, and they used her as a link to establish diplomatic relations in order to cooperate with the Tohsaka family.

Of course, Aoi Tohsaka is not entirely unable to accept this fate.

[Rin and Sakura are finally free from this kind of situation; this is probably the best outcome.]

This boy isn't even worried about being changed; perhaps he's the best match for Rin and Sakura.

Thinking this way, Aoi Tohsaka's anger at those words subsided.

"Rin, tell me about the Fourth Holy Grail War. I know almost nothing about it."

"Ah."

Rin didn't actually know much about the Fourth Holy Grail War, but she was very concerned about the deaths of her father and mother, so she investigated the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"I don't know much about the Fourth Holy Grail War, but because this Holy Grail War has caused such a big stir, I have managed to find out some things."

"In addition to our Tohsaka family, the Einzbern family, and Matou, the participants in this Holy Grail War include Lord El-Melloi of the Clock Tower, Lord El-Melloi II, Kirei Kotomine of the Holy Church, and the unknown Ryunosuke Uryu."

"The Servants summoned by all Masters are, in order: Archer, Saber, Berserker, Lancer, Rider, Assassin, and Caster."

"I haven't investigated much about those people. The only one I need to pay attention to is Caster's Master, Ryunosuke Amusei."

Even now, Rin still has a deep impression of that serial killer.

During the investigation, Rin remembered that person's face.

"In my investigation, it seems that Ryunosuke Uryu killed many people before he became a Master, not just adults, but also quite a few children."

"After becoming a Master, he and his Heroic Spirits went on a killing spree of young children in Fuyuki City."

"That was a completely unscrupulous killer."

"However, according to the investigation, the last person was sniped on the road."

Rin didn't find out who the sniper was, but this was actually a very bad thing to do, especially since it happened in public.

It was Kiritsugu Emiya who did it.

His own daughter was unaware, but Tokiomi Tohsaka knew perfectly well that it was Kiritsugu Emiya who had done it.

Other magicians would never do such an open assassination, but Kiritsugu Emiya was completely different.

Although such behavior is an insult to a magician, it is often the best way to target a magician.

[Emiya Kiritsugu, I really underestimated you before.]

[As expected, you were the one who targeted the magician for the assassination.]

Kiritsugu Emiya was a much greater threat than imagined, and it was the right thing to do to initially regard him as the most dangerous enemy.

However, it was Emperor El-Melloi II.

The information from the Clock Tower says that Lord El-Melloi's relics were stolen by his student. Could it be that the student will inherit Lord El-Melloi's position in the future?

The future is truly full of unexpected events.

Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't really care about these issues either.

Since Lord El-Melloi has an heir, it means that Lord El-Melloi will remain permanently in this Holy Grail War.

The ferocity of the Holy Grail War truly exceeded his expectations.

"In the end, only Kirei Kotomine, Kiritsugu Emiya, and Lord El-Melloi II survived the Fourth Holy Grail War."

"However, Kiritsugu Emiya adopted Shirou after the Holy Grail War and died a few years later."

"Only Kirei Kotomine and Lord El-Melloi II have survived."

"Lord El-Melloi II was also my teacher when I went to the Clock Tower."

Chapter 122 Tokiomi Tohsaka, who has suppressed his thoughts

"Then, Uncle, please prepare well for the future."

"As a junior, let me give you a reminder: don't trust any Master, even those you've promoted, they might still stab you in the back."

Before Shirou left with Rin and Sakura, he left this message for his uncle to ponder.

Tokiomi Tohsaka, who remained behind, frowned as he pondered the deeper meaning of those words.

"Shichen, are you still thinking about what that boy left behind?"

Having lived with Tokimitsu for so long, Aoi Tohsaka has come to know her husband very well.

After Rin and Sakura's two daughters left with that boy, Toki was already in a state of deep thought, and Aoi Tohsaka knew that Toki was thinking about the boy's last words.

"Ah."

"I have to think carefully about what that boy said, and I already know who he was talking about."

"But I still don't know why that person betrayed me."

Kotomine Kirei!

The name Tokiomi Tohsaka had already appeared in his mind when he heard those words.

The name had a significant impact on him, because Kirei was still his disciple, and now he was hearing from that boy that this disciple might betray him in the future, so he needed time to think about it.

Aoi Tohsaka glanced at her husband.

"Shichen, is he your disciple in magic?"

"Ah."

Tokiomi Tohsaka nodded without hiding his agreement.

"Think about it carefully, I'm planning to have you, Rin, and Sakura go to Zenjou's house to avoid trouble during the Holy Grail War."

"But if you were still killed even so, then someone must have deliberately lured you out."

"Either in the name of Rin and Sakura, or in the name of my dead self."

“Emiya Kiritsugu would not do such a thing. That man’s only target is magicians. He would never be so ruthless as to kill anyone who is not related to his target.”

“Lord El-Melloi is a proper magician; he would never do such a thing.”

“Lord El-Melloi II is still just a student. As a student who has just left the ivory tower, he wouldn’t do such a thing.”

"The only person capable of doing this is the serial killer Ryunosuke Amusei."

"But he was sniped by Kiritsugu Emiya on the way. That serial killer wouldn't have died before me. If it were my personality, I would definitely have tried to make the other Masters focus their attention on that serial killer if such a terrible thing happened in the Holy Grail War first."

“Matou Kariya will be the Master of the Matou family this time, and he may do this, but he will definitely not do it in front of you.”

Matou Kariya might have such thoughts, but Tohsaka Tokiomi was destined never to do so in front of Aoi.

That man particularly wanted to kill him. Tokiomi Tohsaka was not an exception; he even wanted to take his place as Aoi's husband, as well as Sakura and Rin's father.

But it is precisely because that man thinks that he will never do it.

"So, the person who did this was... Kirei Kotomine?"

"Most likely."

Tokiomi Tohsaka is also analyzing based on the information he has just obtained.

"If his psychology has always been this twisted, then perhaps he would do such a thing."

"However, I had another idea."

"If I had a Heroic Spirit who could materialize at any time with me at that time, I would definitely have let my guard down against him."

"Perhaps, Kirei and my Heroic Spirit had some contact back then."

The more I think about Tokiomi Tohsaka, the more I picture this scene.
