Anime Crossover: Limits Removed, I Don't Eat Beef!

In contrast, they are now almost entirely bystanders, watching the whole thing as spectators. If it weren't for the heavy responsibility of protecting humanity, Mashu might have become as lazy as Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"The Holy Grail has been corrupted by Angolan Newman. If the last person summons the Holy Grail, what awaits him will not be a golden Holy Grail, but an evil agglomeration filled with the evil of this world."

Li Chaofei shook his head and said, "If you really want to do it, then do it as soon as possible."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Li Chaofei," Mashu said happily.

"If I could, I'd still like to hear you call me Onii-chan." Li Chaofei waved his hand and looked at Mashu. As a Servant, wasn't Mashu a little too naive?

"Um...this..." Mashu's face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head, not knowing what to do.

Although she didn't dislike Li Chaofei, she still felt a little embarrassed to be addressed with such an intimate title.

"Hey! Stop bullying my junior all the time." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked over with a frustrated expression. This pervert does those kinds of things every night and doesn't even know how to watch his step, and now he's even setting his sights on Mash.

Moreover, given Mashu's personality, if he doesn't take precautions, the two of them might really be taken advantage of by him.

"In any case, let's keep quiet for now. If others don't cause trouble, let's not meddle in their business," Artoria suggested.

...

While the villa was bustling with activity as usual, on the other side, someone had already begun to take action.

Tokiomi Tohsaka has been staying at home and hasn't gone out during this period.

The interior decorations remained the same as usual. Since Kirei Kotomine was coming later, but there was a shortage of food and other necessities for entertaining him, Aoi Tohsaka took Rin Tohsaka shopping in the city, leaving Tokiomi Tohsaka alone at the mansion.

The battle with Kenneth and Matou Kariya last time left Tokiomi Tohsaka with serious injuries.

The latter, in particular, was not only physically painful, but also made more difficult by being brutally beaten and verbally abused by Matou Kariya in front of his wife and daughter.

What bothered him even more was that he still had no way to refute what Matou Kariya had said.

Tokiomi Tohsaka is not particularly afraid of death. If he could see the source of the problem before he dies, he would not complain even if he were to die directly.

But why are you attacking people like this, always poking at their sore spots?

At this moment, Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was waiting at home for his disciple to arrive, couldn't help but recall the things Li Chaofei had shown him about Sakura's experiences.

Those painful images stirred his emotions, and in desperation, he picked up a book to try and distract himself.

Although this is a time when he cannot afford to relax, Tokiomi Tohsaka is not worried about his current safety.

Although Gilgamesh is quite eccentric, his strength is far greater than that of ordinary Servants. In his spirit form, he is hiding in the void.

Even if a group of assassins came, Gilgamesh alone could kill them all.

Just then, a doorbell rang outside.

Having already sensed who it was through his magical perception, Tokiomi Tohsaka put down the book in his hand, then went behind the door and opened it.

When Tokiomi Tohsaka saw the face that appeared before him, his gloomy expression eased slightly, and he said with a hint of pleasure, "You're here, Kirei. What brings you here this time, 々～?"

"I came to visit you specifically because I heard you were injured, teacher." Kirei Kotomine placed the beautifully packaged box on the table.

Three years ago, he was learning magic at the Tohsaka family's mansion as an apprentice magician. He felt much better back here than at the church where he had always stayed.

"I received a transfer order from headquarters, and I may have to leave this place in a few days," Kirei Kotomine said. "So after I leave, there are a few things I need to tell you."

"That's a real shame, but you've already said it, I'll definitely go back and help if I can."

Tokiomi Tohsaka responded that, to him, Kirei Kotomine was merely a pawn he had casually placed long ago.

"I have always been proud to have a disciple like you."

When Kirei Kotomine heard Tokiomi Tohsaka say that to him, he almost couldn't help but laugh.

He was neither curious nor worried about who would ultimately receive the Holy Grail.

For Kirei Kotomine, the Holy Grail War offered no reward whatsoever. He became the Master of the Assassins simply because of the mission assigned to him, which forced him to participate.

"It's nothing. It's just what I should do." Kirei Kotomine laughed, then bowed to Tokiomi Tohsaka, his inner thoughts completely contradicting his outward actions.

However, in Tokiomi Tohsaka's eyes, Kirei Kotomine is now the person he trusts most besides his family.

"You are someone I trust very much. I will let my daughter learn a lot from you. After this Holy Grail War ends, you will take my place as Rin's mentor."

As Tokiomi Tohsaka spoke, he rummaged through the drawer and handed him a handwritten letter that was inside.

"what is this?"

Kirei Kotomine, who was about to make a move, was taken aback.

"Teacher, what is this?"

"What if—and I mean just what if—something irreversible happens to me in this war, can you, as my guardian, wait until Rin comes of age?"

"So that's how it is," Kirei Kotomine breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing his serious expression, he had thought that Tokiomi Tohsaka knew his secrets.

"Although my abilities are limited, I will certainly fulfill my responsibility to take care of your daughter," Kirei Kotomine said sincerely.

All he had to do was kill Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"Oh, right, and this is for you too." Tokiomi Tohsaka took out a beautifully decorated box from the drawer. Inside the velvet box was a magnificently crafted dagger.

"This is the Sword of Azoth, forged from a gem passed down through the Tohsaka family. Once filled with magic, it can be used as a Mystic Code. Consider this a gift for you."

Kirei Kotomine accepted the sword with a strange expression, relieved that he wouldn't have to do it himself.

Seeing his disciple remain silent, Tokiomi Tohsaka took it as a sign of gratitude.

After all, they had lived together for three years, and Tokiomi Tohsaka believed he had a certain understanding of Kirei Kotomine's eccentric personality.

"Speaking of my daughters, I actually feel quite sorry for them."

For some reason, Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly fell into a reverie, muttering about how incredibly cute his daughter was.

In Kirei Kotomine's life creed, women are often portrayed as selfish and self-serving creatures, let alone Tokiomi Tohsaka, who has three female family members.

He had lived in the Tohsaka family's mansion for three years, but recently he noticed that while Tohsaka Aoi seemed to treat Tohsaka Tokiomi the same as before on the surface, she seemed to have different complaints and misunderstandings in her heart.

So, was Tokiomi Tohsaka hated by those three people?

"Emotions are truly wondrous..."

Kirei Kotomine uttered those words out of the blue, and then plunged the broken sword in his hand into Tokiomi Tohsaka's body.

"What a disappointing ending, Tokimatsu. I was hoping you could pull off a last-ditch counterattack to amuse me." Gilgamesh, who appeared amidst the golden ripples, couldn't help but hum as he watched Kirei Kotomine walk out of the Tohsaka family mansion.

"you..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka coughed up blood repeatedly, reaching out his blood-covered hand toward Gilgamesh.

He didn't understand why Gilgamesh didn't help him. Even if he hadn't reacted in time, it should have been easy for a Servant.

As Gilgamesh watched his former Master display his utter disarray, his body departed amidst a burst of light.

The reason he didn't take action was simple: Gilgamesh hated Tokiomi Tohsaka.

In comparison, his disciple Kirei Kotomine was much more agreeable to Gilgamesh.

Saying it's pleasing to the eye isn't quite right. Gilgamesh was actually just pursuing pleasure, while Kirei Kotomine, who knew nothing of pleasure or happiness, was completely oblivious to it.

More accurately, it was Kirei Kotomine who piqued his interest.

As for who the Master is, it is still not important to Gilgamesh.

For Kirei Kotomine, those guys who used to spout platitudes about morality and righteousness didn't offer him any real answers about life.

For him, all he needed was a life different from others.

But what exactly constitutes the difference remains an answer for him to this day.

Now, he has left the Tohsaka family mansion and embarked once again on the path to find the answer.

Chapter 138 The Murderer is Confirmed and the Fourth Battle is Nearing its End!

"Dad, we're back!" Rin Tohsaka said happily as she unlocked the door and ran inside.

Although she had experienced Sakura's despair before, the self-reliant Rin, after being immersed in guilt for the first two days, cheered herself up.

Instead of feeling guilty about those scenes, it's better to live in the present and make it up to Sakura.

After all, Sakura, who is now by that man's side, will no longer experience those desperate things.

And this family

This must continue.

"Rin, didn't I tell you not to shout at home?" Aoi Tohsaka looked helpless.

On the surface, Aoi Tohsaka didn't seem to have undergone any drastic changes; at least when dealing with Rin, she returned to her normal self.

However, her behavior changes when she is alone or when she is dealing with Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"Okay, I'll be careful." Rin Tohsaka turned around and made a face at her mother. Then, under Aoi Tohsaka's doting and affectionate gaze, the little girl ran up the stairs and pushed open Tokiomi Tohsaka's door.

By now, even if there were important matters to discuss, the conversation should have already ended.

Thinking this, Rin Tohsaka, who had just entered Tokiomi Tohsaka's room, saw her father lying in a pool of blood before she could even speak.

Then, she smelled a strong stench of blood in the air.

"No...it can't be..."

The girl's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

The father lay dead in a pool of blood, and... the exquisite gift box and the box that originally contained the Sword of Azoth lay on the ground, blood flowing across it.

But the Sword of Azoth was gone, and only an empty box remained on the blood-soaked ground.

...

Aoi Tohsaka, who was quietly cooking in the kitchen, heard her daughter's screams coming from upstairs.

At that moment, she was suddenly jolted and hurriedly ran upstairs.

The destination was Tokiomi Tohsaka's study. Aoi Tohsaka ran to the door and pushed it open. What appeared in her eyes was her daughter, who was slumped on the ground.

"What's wrong?! Rin! What happened?"

Aoi Tohsaka ran over and hugged her young daughter, comforting Rin's trembling emotions and body while observing the surrounding situation.

Soon, she also discovered Tokiomi Tohsaka lying on the ground in a large pool of blood, as well as a gift box and an empty box.

Connecting these two events, Aoi Tohsaka also considered what might have happened.

Although she wanted to scream, she had her daughter with her, and she couldn't make her even more panicked.

"Woooooo~~"

Rin Tohsaka's soft sobs echoed in the room. The sky had completely darkened, and the chirping of insects gradually entered their ears through the open window.

"How could this be... Why would Kirei Kotomine... do this..." Aoi Tohsaka was somewhat incoherent at this point. After marrying Tokiomi Tohsaka, she had never offered her opinions on family matters.

This major incident at this time left Aoi Tohsaka at a loss for what to do.

"It must be...it must be that bastard! He must have killed my dad!"

Remembering the family's ancestral teachings, one must remain calm, especially in difficult times.

Rin knew her mother's position in the family, so the little girl didn't choose to continue crying.

Rin carefully recalled what had happened when she left.

Tokiomi Tohsaka is meeting someone today, and that person is his disciple, Kirei Kotomine.

Earlier, Tokitomi Tohsaka had mentioned to her that he would give Kirei Kotomine a gift today in case something happened to him during the Holy Grail War, so that Kirei Kotomine could take care of her when she was young.

Out of curiosity, she secretly examined the gift and discovered it was the Sword of Azoth!

However, Rin had some doubts in her heart, and also another bold guess.

That means Kirei Kotomine killed his own father under the protection of his Servants; he shouldn't have had that kind of power.

And those with that kind of strength, and with whom we've recently had dealings...

That's the man who took Sakura away!

But if it were him, there doesn't seem to be any reason?

Just to get revenge for Sakura?

This reason is rather far-fetched.

For a moment, the young Rin was lost in confusion, but she quickly stopped thinking about it for the time being. The most important thing now was to arrange her father's funeral.
