Zongman, the history of a devil's rise

"Impossible, impossible."

She totally, not at all, could not understand it.

Magicians are cold-blooded and heartless.

She knew this better than anyone because her husband was a complete magician.

Anything can be sacrificed as long as the goal can be achieved.

But there is one thing the magician will not sacrifice.

That is his heir.

After all, only with the existence of an heir can his magic be passed down forever.

"But what if Zouken Matou doesn't need an heir?"

Chapter 4 k Tousaka Aoi's awakening

"If Machiri Zorgen was once a magician full of dreams and intent on changing the world."

"The current Matou Zouken is nothing more than a monster like a youkai that has long been corroded by time, with a decaying soul and a rotten body. He turns it into his own obsession, transforms it to feed insects, and parasitizes on others to prolong his life."

"A guy like this, do you think he really needs an heir to the magic path?"

"All he needs is young flesh that can constantly provide him with fresh energy."

Vitan's statement completely shocked the woman, Toosaka Aoi.

She never considered that this man was deceiving her, because such a lie would be easily exposed.

As long as she could verify it with Sakura, there was no need to tell this lie.

But that's why she is like this.

"how come……"

"Sakura..."

Tears flowed through fingers and painful sobs echoed in the courtyard.

If Vitan had not already eliminated the transmission of the surrounding sounds, Sakura, who had already fallen asleep, would probably have been awakened by Toosaka Aoi's crying.

Time passes by little by little.

Toosaka Aoi's crying became quieter and quieter.

It wasn't that her guilt and sadness had diminished, but that her tears had dried up.

She could no longer shed tears.

"Mr. Vitan, I have something to ask of you."

She stood up unsteadily. If one had to use one word to describe Toosaka Aoi at this moment, it would be "desperate".

To be honest, she had a lot to say after successfully entering the villa.

Ask Sakura how she is doing now.

Look at Sakura's current situation.

If possible, she also wanted to find out the current progress of the Holy Grail War from here.

What is happening to my husband who I respect so much?

But is there any need to ask now?

It's completely gone.

Because of the stupid things that she and her husband did, what will her child, who she carried for ten months, face?

It is an inhumane torture.

It is a torture that even an adult cannot bear or endure.

As a result, this crime was committed by a young girl who was less than eight years old.

How can she face her own children now?

What qualifications and identity does she have to express her concern for Sakura?

Absolutely not.

So she might as well just leave now.

At least now she knew that her child, who had suffered, had found peace under the protection of this man.

The only thing I can do for her is to stop disturbing her and let her live happily like this.

"I can probably understand what Ms. Toosaka Aoi wants to say."

"Ms. Toosaka Aoi probably wants me to help take care of Sakura."

He spoke slowly, more like one word at a time, and looking at Toosaka Aoi's slim figure, Vitan said lightly.

"Yes."

Toosaka Aoi's voice sounded a little hoarse.

However, while she was speaking, her actions were also taking place at the same time.

She gently pressed down the hem of her light green skirt with her slender hands and slowly knelt on the ground with her knees together.

Her upper body was kept high and her chest was held high, with her hands gathered on her thighs.

Then, Toosaka Aoi put her hands in front of her and placed them on the ground like a handle, and leaned her body forward completely until her smooth forehead hit the ground.

——Scholars, please get up from your seats!

This is the highest etiquette in Japan from ancient times to the present. This etiquette is only used when asking for forgiveness or facing someone of higher status than a lower status.

"I know that my request would seem shameless and rogue."

"But I sincerely ask you to treat Sakura well. If there is anything I can do for you, I will do my best."

The sound has never been so powerful.

Ever since Tousaka Aoi came to Vitan's mansion, her voice has never been so powerful.

At this moment, she has put aside all her doubts and confusions.

She even abandoned the old self who could only obey orders and abide by the rules of being a wife.

Now she only wants her daughter to live a better life to make up for the mistakes she has made.

“Irisviel.”

Vitan glanced at Irisviel.

Irisviel immediately understood what Vitan meant and walked over to help Tōsaka Aoi up.

"Mrs. Toosaka, please get up first. Not to mention that what you mentioned is meaningless."

"I will continue to take care of Sakura. If I hadn't thought about this, I wouldn't have saved Sakura in the first place."

After Irisviel forced Tōsaka Aoi back to her seat with some force.

(Although Tousaka Aoi has inherited the blood of a magic family and has a small amount of magic power in her body, she is still inferior to Irisviel, who was completely transformed by Vitan.)

"Mrs. Tousaka, there is an old Chinese saying. I wonder if you have heard of it."

Their eyes met, the magic sound containing magical power, and the elegant fragrance dissipated from somewhere.

Toosaka Aoi's body trembled, and her originally firm pupils began to show signs of blurring a little.

"What is it?"

As if being guided and pulled, Toosaka Aoi directly said what Vitan wanted.

The corners of Vitan's mouth curled up slightly, and he spoke in a gentle and soft tone.

"There is a saying that goes, 'Beat the bones and the tendons are connected.'"

"No matter what, you and Sakura are mother and daughter connected by blood. She is the child you gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy."

Toosaka Aoi's pink lips opened and closed, like a fish constantly emerging from the water to breathe.

She seemed to have been wanting to say something, but for some reason, her brain seemed to have given up thinking.

“Maybe you did something wrong.”

"But you have to understand that these things are not led by you. It is a man who actually does these things."

Now Vitan is like a weird uncle who is holding a lollipop and giving gentle advice to a young girl.

And Toosaka Aoi seemed to have completely lost the ability to think.

His pupils completely lost focus, his hands were placed flat on his thighs, he sat upright like a child, being guided by Vitan.

“Yes, Tokiomi?”

"That's right. In fact, it's all Tousaka Tokiomi's fault. As a wife, how can you resist Tousaka Tokiomi?"

"In his heart, there is only his magic and the inheritance of the Tosaka family."

“There’s only this idea of ​​getting to the root.”

"So it's all Shichen's fault. He was the one who insisted on sending Sakura into this devil's cave."

"Besides, based on your understanding of Tohsaka Tokiomi, even if he knew that the Matou family was using insect magic, would he give it up?"

Her scattered vision was refocused, and all the words Vitan had just said were poured into Irisviel’s mind.

"boom--"

As if some sound had been sounded again, Toosaka Aoi's gaze focused, and a determined light shone in her eyes.

"No, it won't."

"All Tokiomi wants is for Sakura to inherit the magic of the Matou family. As for what magic it is, it is not important to Tokiomi."

"What he wants is not for Sakura to live a stable life. What he wants is that if he fails in this war, the simultaneous appearance of Sakura and Rin in the next Holy Grail War will increase the chances of his descendants seizing the Holy Grail."

These words came out of Toosaka Aoi's mouth almost without any thought.

Everything naturally connected and formed a string in Toosaka Aoi's mind.

"So that's all?"

"Everything is Tokiomi's fault. Everything is Tokiomi's fault."

Toosaka Aoi's eyes were brighter than ever before, and all the haze blocking her heart was swept away at this moment.

"That's right. As long as you put all the blame on Tokiomi, Miss Zenjou can be with your daughter again."

"You can be reunited as a family too."

"When the time comes, Sakura and Rin will be by your side."

"bass--"

Toosaka Aoi suddenly gained strength from nowhere, and even though Irisviel briefly relaxed her power suppression, Toosaka Aoi was able to stand up like this.

"I want to go back and pick up Xiaolin."

"I may not be able to do this on my own, but I want to work with Rin to gain Sakura's forgiveness."

"Clap clap clap..."

The sound of Vitan applause rang out.

"I think your idea is very good, ma'am. The door here is always open to you."

"But my personal advice, ma'am, is that you should hurry up."

"Because when this is all settled, we'll be out of here."

Vitan spread his hands, showing his helplessness.

"I'll go back now."

……

Toosaka Aoi left in a hurry, and Irisviel sat directly next to Vitan.

Now she is no longer as shy as she was yesterday.
