Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

"Roland-kun got married at such a young age?" Toosaka Aoi was a little surprised and smiled. "No wonder, compared to a woman like me, the young wives at home are more attractive."

"You're joking. Frankly speaking, this is an arranged marriage by the girl's family, and I am the passive party," Roland sighed pretentiously. "But even so, as a father, I can't just leave my daughter alone. If I really want to choose a marriage partner, a good wife and mother like Miss Aoi is more attractive to me."

It was too late to react to the fact that Roland had a child, and Aoi Tohsaka's beautiful face was filled with a peach-like halo red.

"...Roland-kun is joking again."

"After all, it's just some presumptuous words, please don't take it to heart," Roland nodded steadily at Aoi Tohsaka, and quickly withdrew and left before the other party raised his vigilance. "Then, I will take my leave first."

But just after turning around and walking a few steps, Roland turned back and winked at Tousaka Aoi with a sly smile.

"However, my comments just now all came from my heart."

After saying that, he left without paying attention to the reactions of the two people behind him.

Toosaka Aoi was standing there in a daze, and only came to her senses when Rin beside her pulled her clothes.

As a descendant of the Zenjo family, which was once a magic family, although Tousaka Aoi does not have magic circuits, her bloodline is still very excellent and she is a precious mother. Therefore, from the very beginning, she was reserved by the Matou family. After Matou Kariya gave up voluntarily, Tousaka Tokiomi quickly chose to take over. Therefore, Tousaka Aoi actually did not have the freedom to choose her marriage.

But due to the education she received since childhood, she had no complaints. After all, Toosaka Tokiomi was an excellent husband and had always been good to her, so Toosaka Aoi had always blindly reciprocated her love, even if her daughter was to be sent away, even if Rin and Sakura might develop hatred and fight as competitors in the future.

She is so strong that she would never show her emotions about these things, but would just obey obediently. Matou Sakura's usual performance comes from her personal example.

It was the first time for Aoi Tohsaka to praise so directly like Roland.

"Is he also someone who can't choose his marriage? Just like me..." Thinking of Roland's previous words, Toosaka Aoi had a strange misunderstanding and subconsciously regarded the other party's situation as the same as her own, and then quickly shook her head because of those thoughts that shouldn't have appeared in her mind.

She is Tōsaka Tokiomi's wife, and as long as she holds this identity, she must maintain this loyalty like a subject to his lord.

But if you just want to make a new friend, it should be allowed, right?

"Mother?"

Toosaka Rin held her mother's hand cautiously. She had never seen her mother look so gentle, with longing and a little shyness.

"It's nothing, Rin, let's go home," Hearing her daughter's call, Toosaka Aoi smiled and walked towards the Zenjo family's house.

Toosaka Rin wanted to remind her mother of Roland's true identity, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to keep the secret that she was also possessed by Ishtar, destroyed Matou without authorization, and was subdued by someone.

Finally, the mother and daughter, each with their own thoughts, arrived at the door of Chancheng's house.

Toosaka Aoi bent down slightly and stared at her daughter's face with a very serious expression.

"Rin, you can't tell Dad about what happened today."

"In exchange, Mom won't tell Dad about you not coming home on time after school and wandering around Fuyuki City where you can't stay for long."

"Well……"

Toosaka Rin looked at her mother's expression and finally nodded helplessly.

Chapter 72: The Toosaka Family Affairs

"It was a very rare sight."

Roland stretched and recalled what had just happened.

Whether it's the classical beauty with a shy expression, or Toosaka Rin who is puffed up like a pufferfish, baring her teeth as if she is going to bite you at the next moment, they are all quite interesting.

The two servants are already in hand. Putting aside Gilgamesh and Enkidu, it is almost time to deal with Saber.

Don't let him sneak away and make a wish in the Holy Grail. He might stab you in the back and blow up the Holy Grail. Roland has to be on guard against this person with a criminal record.

Although the holy swordsman has a strong obsession, as long as his obsession can be shattered and his values ​​can be reshaped, it is still quite useful as a weapon.

Moreover, after playing with Sakura and Rin for a while these two days, Roland also wanted to see what kind of condition Illya was in.

"Let's attack Einzbern tonight."

Roland said lightly, and at this moment, a ring suddenly came from his pocket.

"what?"

I took out a phone from my pocket that, in my opinion, could only be called an old man's phone, but in this era, it is already a phone with the most cutting-edge technology.

Roland looked at the unknown number in confusion and answered the call.

This was a gift that the priest gave to Roland after he became acquainted with Kotomine Kirei. He was afraid that Roland would run away and he could not be contacted, so he took the initiative to give him this gift. Because there was no one to contact in this era, so far, the only person who would call this number was Kotomine Kirei.

"Moshimoshi, Kirei, what's going on?"

Knowing the other person's character well, Roland went straight to the point. Kotomine Kirei's voice was still as dull as ever, but combined with the content of his words, it was very shocking.

"Lord Roland, are you interested in taking control of the Tohsaka family?"

Listening to Kotomine Kirei's story, Roland put on a frivolous smile: "In that case, just go ahead and do it. I just happened to get some money recently. I will let the Matou family pay you directly."

After confirming the reply, Roland shook his head helplessly.

"Should I say that I am too lucky? Or is it that the people of the Tohsaka family are too unlucky?"

-

That night, at the Toosaka residence, Toosaka Tokiomi did not have time to wipe the sweat from his forehead before answering the phone.

"This is the Tousaka family... Aoi?"

Hearing the familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Tōsaka Tokiomi's tired voice became more impatient.

"Didn't I tell you not to call unless there's something special?"

It seemed that because his work was interrupted, Tohsaka Tokiomi's tone became much heavier. His plans for the past two days were completely disrupted, and he was stabbed like a hedgehog by the King of Heroes. For Tohsaka Tokiomi, who took elegance as his family motto, this was a time when he felt overwhelmed.

But he couldn't complain to his respectful disciple and Archer. At this moment, hearing that his wife was still so ignorant, the veins on Tōsaka Tokiomi's forehead twitched suddenly.

"Want to hear my voice?" Although he felt a little depressed, Tōsaka Tokiomi realized that his tone was too harsh. Although he didn't want to complain to his wife, his tone suddenly turned cold.

"We don't have the luxury of that. Let's wait until the Holy Grail War is over. Also, if everything goes well, you should be prepared. You should have understood this since our last separation."

The voice on the other end of the receiver suddenly went quiet, and Toosaka Aoi conveyed her response with silent coldness.

Tōsaka Tokiomi did not speak, maintaining his dignity as the head of the family. In the end, it was Aoi who broke the silence first.

"We are husband and wife? Of course, it is precisely because of this that you should support me as usual. This is the long-cherished wish of the Tohsaka family and even me! I have made all preparations. Whether it is about Rin's arrangement or Sakura, they will have a bright future!"

Tohsaka Tokiomi began to talk nonstop: "If that's all you want to say, then there's no need to waste any more time. As a magician's wife, you should understand that you can't have ordinary happiness. Whether you win or lose this time, you have to learn to accept changes and accept a new life."

Taking a deep breath, Tōsaka Tokiomi said sternly, "Don't do unnecessary things like this again."

Not even wanting to hear the response from the other end of the phone, Tōsaka Tokiomi hung up the phone indifferently.

"master."

Behind him, there was a knock on the door. Although the door was not locked, Kotomine Kirei always observed etiquette.

This action made Tōsaka Tokiomi nodded with satisfaction. He turned around and said to Kotomine Kirei.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Aoi is not usually like this."

Kotomine Kirei said calmly: "It's okay to chat with Master's wife for a few more words. After all, your husband is doing such a dangerous thing."

"Kirei, you, after all, became a monk halfway through your life." Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled and said, "Your purity is too low."

"For a magician, the root is the only answer, and the goal of reaching the root is right in front of me. Even if I have to abandon my wife and children, I will do it happily. What's more, I have already made arrangements for my children's future."

Kotomine Kirei understood what his master meant. The magus who returned after entering the Root had never existed in a broad sense. Therefore, Tōsaka Tokiomi was sure that no matter whether he won or lost, he could not go back to the past.

"If we leave Sakura to the Matou family, what if these two outstanding children kill each other in order to reach the root in the future?"

"That's better than letting them become mediocre," Toosaka Tokiomi said coldly, "There's nothing we can do about this. No matter which of the two sisters reaches the root, the long-cherished wish of the Toosaka family will be fulfilled. Even though they don't understand it now, this ending is definitely a happy one."

Is such purity useful?

Human beings, after all, still need guidance from heaven, Kotomine Kirei said silently in his heart.

Tōsaka Tokiomi possesses a considerable amount of humanity, but at his core, he is still a magus, an existence that ordinary people simply cannot understand.

"Not much more to say, Kirei, is that matter settled?"

"It's all been resolved. I asked my friend to have all of the Tohsaka family's assets, except for the sacred land, replaced with liquid funds. The moment you signed the contract, it took effect."

"You did a great job. You did a great job."

Toosaka Tokiomi said excitedly, he had not expected Kirei to act so quickly, it was not an easy task to liquidate so many assets quickly, but Kotomine Kirei was definitely not a man who would lie easily.

He turned his head and looked at the living room behind him that had been dug up. A huge stove was installed on it.

"Now, although we have a big creditor, after this magic furnace is completed and connected to the earth veins, Archer's magic supply will no longer be a problem."

"It must be hard to do all this by yourself, right? You are also injured..."

"It doesn't matter," Tohsaka Tokiomi waved his hand, "After all, we can't let outsiders in. Those injuries have basically healed under the effect of the magic seal, so it won't affect anything."

As he spoke, Tōsaka Tokiomi took out a piece of paper from the cabinet next to him and handed it to Kotomine Kirei.

"By the way, I called you here today to give you this."

"Will? Master..."

Looking at the puzzled Kotomine Kirei, Tōsaka Tokiomi comforted his disciple, "This is a necessary preparation. After winning and entering the Root, I won't have time to arrange these. I appoint you as Rin's guardian and responsible for the management of the Tōsaka family. After all, Aoi doesn't understand magicians at all and can't bear these responsibilities."

"There's no need to be pessimistic, Kirei." Tōsaka Tokiomi put his hands behind his back and looked at the starry sky outside the window. "This is just the prelude to victory. Once the supply of magic power is resolved, the Hero King will surely be able to enjoy himself."

"Master, I have no way to repay your trust..."

Looking at Kotomine Kirei lowering his head, speaking sincere and earnest words, and seeing his body trembling slightly with uneasiness, Tōsaka Tokiomi smiled again.

"I'll leave the rest to you. After this Holy Grail War, I'll finally be able to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Tousaka family!"

These were not words meant to comfort Kotomine Kirei, but rather Tōsaka Tokiomi's innermost thoughts.

A powerful yet reliable heroic spirit, a loyal yet humble disciple, so how could he lose?

"I will definitely win this Holy Grail War!"

Daily votes! Thanks to Xiaozi for the 200-point reward! Thanks to Chuanghaoduanjiushouduoma for the 300-point reward!

Chapter 73: Invasion of Einzbern

"The forest in winter, when it's not snowing, always feels a little scary."

Caster rolled his eyes and followed Roland who was leading the way. "Trust me, Master. You are much scarier than this forest."

"Is there such a thing?" Roland was a little surprised. "Compared to those magicians, what I did is nothing, right?"

Compared to the original work, because Roland likes to keep everything in his hands, Fuyuki City is quite peaceful. Although there are several accidents caused by gas explosions, there are no casualties.

"Although magicians are scary to ordinary people, they also have rules and corresponding styles, which are understandable, but you are different."

Caster said nothing more. Even though she had a close relationship with Roland, she still couldn't understand Roland's full picture.

"Maybe it's just because of the different perspectives and heights," Roland smiled, his eyes becoming deeper. "Some things are fine if you don't know them, but now that you know them, you have to do them. Although there may be twists and turns in the process, compared to the original ending of this world, humans should thank me."

Roland did not continue on this topic, but talked about another matter.

"Come to think of it, the Einzbern seem to have a ceremonial garment called the Rhine Gold."

"That cursed treasure? Inexhaustible gold. This kind of thing is already at the level of a legendary treasure."

"Yeah, it sounds very exciting. After I finish this Holy Grail War, I will take it."

"A curse of that level is indeed ineffective against you, but are you so greedy for wealth?"

Medea looked at Roland with some confusion. For her, who lived in the Age of Gods and was a princess, master, and goddess, it was not easy for her to understand modern people's values.

"Or is it that in order to fulfill your promise to that little girl, your shadow ninjas are not efficient enough in collecting wealth?"

"It's not enough, but it's not enough," Roland nodded, with a smile unconsciously showing on the corner of his mouth.

The Shadow Corps collected a large amount of unowned wealth in this world for him. Afterwards, money was just a number to Roland.

But to be fair, he really had no intention of breaking his promise to Toosaka Rin. For an existence of Ishtar's level, Roland didn't mind paying some wealth.

What was the point of using a jar of gems to get the goddess of Venus to work for him? Although the tens of thousands of times the wealth behind it was a bit of a pie in the sky, after all, there was an Angra Mainyu hidden in the Holy Grail, but if Ishtar really brought the talisman, Roland would not break his promise.

However, if the other talismans were made by herself, that would be another story, but at least the jar of gems was a real gain. But now it seems that it is hard to say how much of this gain will be left when it reaches Toosaka Rin's hands.

Considering Ishtar's unreliable style, what she would get in the end would most likely be just that jar of gems. Theoretically speaking, it couldn't be considered a loss, but after Kotomine Kirei's phone call, everything changed.

Now as the biggest creditor of the Toosaka family, even if Toosaka Rin works for him sincerely, that jar of gems would probably not be enough to repay the debt.

"Here they come."

At this moment, Caster's footsteps suddenly stopped.
