"Who I am is not important. As for why I came here, it is for you, Tokiomi Tohsaka."

After Wan Di pulled the dagger from his chest, he casually crumpled it into a lump of scrap metal, tossed it onto Assassin's body, and then said...

This action made Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine's eyelids twitch.

Although this dagger wasn't a particularly powerful Noble Phantasm, it was still an Assassin's own Noble Phantasm, so you can imagine how tough it was. Yet, it was so easily crushed into a ball by Wan Dei.

What kind of monster is this?

"for me?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned. The other party was targeting him. Could it be... that the other party was also a magician from one of the three founding families of the Holy Grail War?

However, the Matou family should have lost the ability to summon Servants by now.

Tokiomi Tohsaka thought to himself.

Tokiomi Tohsaka, the Master of the Einzbern family, knew from the beginning who it was: the infamous Kiritsugu Emiya, known as the Magician Killer.

As for the Matou family, Kariya Matou, who was originally supposed to be the heir, has now given up his right to the title and left home. Adding to this, Matou Tsukasa died yesterday...

"You scoundrel, how dare you leave me standing here like this? Are you ready for how you die?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned, deep in thought, when Gilgamesh's furious voice came from the side.

The next moment, Gilgamesh, clad in golden armor, snorted coldly. Golden ripples appeared in the space behind him, and then, from within the ripples, swords, spears, axes, and various other weapons, shimmering with precious light, materialized from the void. They were like arrows ready to be released, aimed at all enemies.

They were just waiting for Gilgamesh's order to stab Wan Di into a spiny dragon.

If we're talking about who has a chance of killing all enemies in this Holy Grail War, then it's none other than Gilgamesh.

Although Biji Liu Liu IV Liao Qi Er Ba Yue Yi Jing Wan Di could refuse death, he had a fatal weakness like Achilles' heel. With the golden firepower, without any deliberate aiming, countless swords could hit his weak point.

However, it's only theoretically possible, since Wan Di's stats are just too high.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Gilgamesh, I'm not in the mood for catching up with you today. Can I finish what I need to say first?"

Wan Di looked at the agitated Gilgamesh beside him, a helpless expression on his face.

Although Gilgamesh wasn't very likable at this time, he still had a decent relationship with the real Gilgamesh, so he couldn't really let the other person chop him off with their elbow.

Well, Wan Di is actually quite eager to try, and hopes that Gilgamesh won't blame him when he sees him again.

"Catch up? From the very beginning, you've been trying to get close to me, you mongrel. I don't know you at all. Don't think that just because you act like you know me well, I'll go easy on you."

Gilgamesh frowned, snorted coldly, and then waved his arm, intending to project the treasures from the Royal Treasury.

"Please be patient, Your Majesty. Since they came to me, let them finish speaking before we take action."

“Since you have said so, then I will grant him this right; this is the king’s mercy.”

Looking at Tokiomi's sincere face, Gilgamesh nodded and with a wave of his hand, put the Noble Phantasm back into the Treasury of the Net.

Gilgamesh has only been with Tokiomi Tohsaka for a short time, and Tokiomi has not yet done anything to disobey Gilgamesh. Therefore, Gilgamesh is happy to give Tokiomi face.

In fact, when he was summoned, Gilgamesh had already mentally prepared himself to help his Master achieve final victory in the Holy Grail War as a Servant. However, the fact that Tokiomi treated him as a lord and subject caught Gilgamesh off guard and caused him to feel a little confused.

However, since Tokiomi did so, Gilgamesh naturally accepted it gladly.

"I'm asking you, Tokiomi Tohsaka, why did you send Sakura to the Matou family?"

Seeing that Gilgamesh had calmed down, Wan Di also canceled the power he had been secretly accumulating.

It's only the first day, and he doesn't want to take action right away.

After all, if possible, he also wanted to find a perfect way to handle the Holy Grail.

"Did your Master take Sakura away? Why? Where is Sakura now?"

After hearing Mantei's words, Tokiomi Tohsaka did not answer the question directly, but instead asked anxiously.

If Sakura were given to someone else, Tokiomi Tohsaka might have given up on the idea, but now that Zouken Matou is dead, the Matou family's promise can no longer be kept. Therefore, Sakura is still his daughter.

Therefore, Tokiomi Tohsaka still cares about his daughter.

In fact, many people believe that Tokiomi Tohsaka knew about the Matou family's magic and deliberately pushed Sakura into the insect pit so that her magical talent wouldn't be wasted, even if it meant Sakura would suffer for decades.

However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this argument is untenable. After all, what was Tokiomi Tohsaka's original reason for sending Sakura to the Matou family?

The Tohsaka family's magic crest can only be inherited by one person, but he was lucky enough to draw two SSR cards, Rin and Sakura. Both of them have extremely high talent and are the kind of people who, if properly nurtured, will definitely become great magicians in the future.

She's the kind of girl any magician would fall for.

If the magicians at the Clock Tower knew that the Tohsaka family still had a "potential" member with great talent but no right to inherit magic circuits, they would definitely activate the sealing order, take Sakura away, and soak her in formaldehyde.

This is not the scene that Tokiomi Tohsaka wanted to see.

Whether as a magician or as a father.

Therefore, when the Matou family proposed to adopt Sakura and learned that they intended to groom her as their successor, Tokiomi Tohsaka agreed without hesitation.

And then, what happened next.

"Stop talking nonsense and answer me!"

Because of what happened to him in his childhood, Mande suffered from PTSD, so he didn't give Tokiomi Tohsaka a friendly look and asked her directly and rudely.

“Sakura has a great talent for magic, and I can’t waste her talent, so I quickly agreed after Matou Tsukasa made the request.”

Tokiomi Tohsaka calmed himself down and chose to answer truthfully.

Why did you agree so readily?

Wan Di asked again.

"Because they promised to raise Sakura as their family heir, and Sakura has great talent, and the Matou and Tohsaka families are old friends, I feel at ease. But you, why did you kill Matou Tsukasa?"

"Killed? That old bug deserved to die."

Wan Di looked at Tokiomi Tohsaka with a cold smile, while his eyes turned dangerous.

"Then let me ask you, do you know the essence of the Matou family's magic?"

"I don't know. Exploring the magic circuits of other families is a taboo act. However, as a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the magic circuits of the Matou family must be as precious as those of the Tohsaka family. This is why I sent Sakura to the Matou family."

Tokiomi Tohsaka stated the truth.

Sakura is still in Wan's hands, and Tokiomi Tohsaka, unaware of the other's thoughts, could only reply in this way.

"Extremely precious?"

Wan Di's lips curled into a sneer: "It is indeed very precious, after all, that old guy Matou Zouken has lived for five hundred years."

"Five hundred years? How is that possible? How could a normal human magician live for five hundred years?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka found it hard to believe.

"Believe it or not, it is true. The other party's true identity is the head of the third family that created the Holy Grail, Machiri Zolgen. Over the long years, his will was corrupted by time, and all he remembered was the will to survive. So, he developed insect magic and turned himself into an insect."

"This is impossible!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka frowned.

"Why don't you investigate and find out?"

Wan Di's face was filled with sarcasm: "How foolish, Tokiomi Tohsaka. You thought you had done everything you could, but you have only pushed your own daughter into the abyss. KS... you are not fit to be a father!"

As he spoke, Wan Di couldn't help but recall his childhood, and the old man who had personally thrown him into the River Styx.

For a moment, his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Tokiomi Tohsaka.

"When I arrived, that old bastard Zouken Matou was already about to push Sakura into the insect pit. Do you need me to describe what that insect pit looks like? It's a dark and cramped cellar, teeming with Crest Worms. To accept the Matou family's magic circuits, you need to let these worms enter every corner of your body. The pain involved is enough to drive an adult to the brink of collapse. Oh, I forgot to tell you, some of these Crest Worms are also strangely shaped like mushrooms. They will burrow into a person's body and invade their host just like a human does. You know what I mean."

"So... if Sakura goes to the Matou family, what she gets won't be the happy life I imagined, but a living hell?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

He genuinely had no idea that the Matou family's magic was actually like this.

Wan Di's words were like fine needles piercing his heart, but he did not question the truthfulness of Wan Di's words, because the other party had no reason to lie to him about such a matter.

This kind of thing can't stand up to scrutiny.

"That's right, what a great father you are. Thanks to you, if Sakura hadn't happened to be there, her body would be covered in insects by now, and she might be crying desperately in the insect hive, hoping that you, her so-called father, would save her. And the one who started all of this is you, Tokiomi Tohsaka, a useless magician, a useless man who can't even protect his own family."

Seeing the pain on Tokiomi Tohsaka's face, Mante felt a sense of satisfaction and relief.

Although this man is a fool, he is not beyond redemption in essence.

As for whether the voice was a bit shrill, Wan Di didn't think so. Compared to the almost serious injury Xiao Ying suffered, it was far too merciful to just utter a few sharp words.

If the opponent hadn't summoned their Servant earlier, WanDie would have preferred a more direct approach to have a closer interaction with them.

"How is Sakura now?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka's voice trembled slightly when he said those words.

"He's doing well now. He's sleeping in bed in his new pajamas. He had a nightmare yesterday and woke up in the middle of the night. This incident really hurt him."

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know... Sakura would encounter something like this..."

"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for..."

Wan Di curled his lip.

"Thank you, thank you for saving Sakura. However, I still want you to help me apologize to Sakura. It was my foolishness that almost caused Sakura to suffer like this..."

After calming himself down, Tokiomi Tohsaka said, "I know Sakura might not want to see me right now, but I will wait. When he forgives me, I will apologize to him in person."

"Then it depends on your sincerity. Alright, I've said what I wanted to say. The Holy Grail War has officially begun. You'd better not die. Although I don't like you that much, I don't want Sakura to lose her father."

Wan Di gave Kirei Kotomine and Gilgamesh a deep look, then left the Tohsaka family.

When he returned home, he found Sakura sitting on the sofa in the living room, hugging a pillow.

Even though she was nodding off in sleep, she still persevered.

Only after Wan Di returned did she open her mouth and yawn: "You're back, brother."

Fatezreo: 5: Wife and Saber

"Oh, sorry, I couldn't sleep just now, so I went for a walk. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Sakura was yawning repeatedly, presumably having waited for Wan Di for a long time.

Although Wan Di didn't stay long and quickly resolved the matter, Sakura still discovered that she wasn't in the room.
